Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television receiver includes a housing, a support, a first member, and a second member. The housing includes a display device. The support is configured to rotatably support the housing. The first member is configured to be supported by the support and includes a planar first surface. The second member is configured to be supported by the housing and includes a planar second surface configured to be rotated while being rubbed against the first surface as the housing rotates. The support includes: a first opening in which a first protrusion provided to the first member is inserted; and a second opening in which a second protrusion provided to the second member is inserted. The second opening communicates with the first opening. The second protrusion is configured to be rotated between a first position and a second position as the housing rotates.

Claims

1. A television receiver comprising:

a housing comprising a display device;

a support configured to rotatably support the housing;

a first member configured to be supported by the support and comprising a planar first surface; and

a second member configured to be supported by the housing and comprising a planar second surface configured to be rotated while being rubbed against the first surface as the housing rotates, wherein

the support comprises;

a first opening in which a first protrusion provided to the first member is inserted; and

a second opening in which a second protrusion provided to the second member is inserted, the second opening communicating with the first opening, the second protrusion being configured to be rotated between a first position and a second position as the housing rotates.

2. The television receiver of claim 1, wherein the second member comprises a third protrusion configured to protrude toward a side opposite the first member at a position different from the first protrusion in a rotating direction, and configured to be engaged with a third member configured to be rotated with the housing.

3. The television receiver of claim 1, wherein a recess capable of containing lubricant is provided to at least one of the first surface and the second surface.

4. The television receiver of claim 1, wherein the support further comprises:

a fourth member provided with the first opening and the second opening; and

a fifth member configured to be connected to the fourth member.

5. The television receiver of claim 4, wherein

the fifth member has a tubular shape, and

the fourth member is configured to cover one end of an internal space of the fifth member.

6. A television receiver comprising:

a housing comprising a display device;

a support configured to rotatably support the housing;

a first member configured to be supported by the support and comprising a first surface; and

a second member configured to be supported by the housing and comprising a second surface configured to be rotated while being rubbed against the first surface as the housing rotates, wherein

the first member comprises a first protrusion configured to protrude toward a side opposite the second member, and

the second member comprises a second protrusion configured to protrude toward a side opposite the first member at a position different from the first protrusion in a rotating direction.

7. The television receiver of claim 6, wherein the first member and the second member are made of a metallic material.

8. An electronic device comprising:

a housing comprising a display device;

a support configured to rotatably support the housing;

a first member comprising a first surface and made of a metallic material; and

a second member comprising a second surface and made of a metallic material, the second surface being configured to be rotated while being rubbed against the first surface as the housing rotates, wherein

the first member comprises a first protrusion configured to protrude toward a side opposite the second member and configured to be supported by the support, and

the second member comprises a second protrusion configured to protrude toward a side opposite the first member and configured to be supported by the housing.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein at least one of the first surface and the second surface comprises a recess configured to hold lubricant.
