Abstract

A mount portion has a rectangular outside shape, and has an opening in its center part that can be fitted by hanging on mounting brackets fixed on a wall surface. An installation surface has mount fixing holes in its upper part and mount fixing holes in its lower part. Default positioning holes are provided adjacent to the mount fixing holes. In screwing, the mount fixing holes have given screwing position freedom. The regions of the default positioning holes have smaller opening areas than the regions of the mount fixing holes.

Claims

1. a wall-mounted attaching apparatus for attaching a given display apparatus on a wall surface,

said wall-mounted attaching apparatus comprising a frame body having an installation surface that is opposed to the wall surface,

said installation surface of said frame body comprising,

a hung opening that can be hung with a given mounting hardware provided on the wall surface,

a plurality of fixing screw holes provided to fix said frame body by screwing on the wall surface, said plurality of fixing screw holes having given screwing position freedom, and

a plurality of positioning holes:

2. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display apparatus attaching portion which is provided in said frame body and to which said given display apparatus is attached; and

an exhaust portion that exhausts air that cooled said given display apparatus attached to said display apparatus attaching portion.

3. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

said frame body has a rectangular outside shape defined by a first direction and a second direction,

said exhaust portion has an exhaust passage extending in said second direction, and

said exhaust passage is provided such that, when a plurality of said wall-mounted attaching apparatuses are arranged along said second direction, said exhaust passages are continuously connected between the plurality of wall-mounted attaching apparatuses thus arranged.

4. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

said frame body has a plurality of intake holes for taking in air from outside, and

said plurality of intake holes are positioned such that, when a plurality of said wall-mounted attaching apparatuses are arranged along said first direction and second direction, at least one set of said plurality of intake holes face each other in said first direction and second direction between said plurality of wall-mounted attaching apparatuses thus arranged.

5. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 2,

said display apparatus attaching portion comprising

a fitting portion to which said given display apparatus is fitted;

and

a movable portion that moves said fitting portion in a third direction perpendicular to said installation surface of said frame body while said given display apparatus is fitted on said fitting portion.

6. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said movable portion comprises a first lock mechanism that locks movement of said movable portion in said third direction, in an accommodated state in which said fitting portion is close to said frame body.

7. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said movable portion further comprises a second lock mechanism that locks movement of said movable portion in said third direction, in a released state in which said fitting portion is separated away from said frame body.

8. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 5,

said movable portion comprising

a plurality of pantograph mechanisms that move said fitting portion in said third direction;

and

a link mechanism that couples between said plurality of pantograph mechanisms such that said plurality of pantograph mechanisms operate together in said third direction.

9. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said movable portion further comprises a guide mechanism provided for at least one of said plurality of pantograph mechanisms in order to restrict shift in said first or second direction.

10. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said fitting portion comprises an attaching member which is provided in a given position in said fitting portion and on which a given attaching member provided on a back of said given display apparatus is hung.

11. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 10 wherein said attaching member comprises a first adjusting mechanism that variably sets said given position in said first direction.

12. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said attaching member comprises a second adjusting mechanism that makes variable setting in said second direction for said given display apparatus fitted on said fitting portion.

13. The wall-mounted attaching apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said attaching member comprises a third adjusting mechanism that makes variable setting in said third direction for said given display apparatus fitted on said fitting portion.
