Abstract

The present invention relates to a speaker device for a television, comprising: a body having a space formed therein for accommodating the television and an open top, wherein the body serves as an enclosure when the television is lifted; an elevating means for moving the television in upward and downward directions in the body; a speaker arranged on the front surface of the body; and a support arranged beneath the main body. The space is formed in the body when the television is lifted in the body by the elevating means, and the sound provided from the speaker arranged on the front surface of the body is clean and clear as the body serves as an enclosure. The speaker device of the present invention uses the single body to accommodate the television and as an enclosure of the speaker, and therefore, the television may have a smaller thickness.

Claims

1. A speaker device for a television, comprising:

a body which includes a space inside of the body for accommodating the television, wherein the top of the body is open, and the body plays a role of an enclosure when the television is lifted;

an ascending and descending means which is installed inside of the body for ascending and descending the television;

a speaker which is installed at a front surface of the body; and

a support which is installed at the bottom of the body.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the ascending and descending means comprises:

a fixing unit which is installed at the bottom of the television;

a bracket which is secured to the fixing unit;

an engaging protrusion which has a via hole at both sides of the bracket and is integrally formed;

a worm which is fixed at a fixing member at the top and bottom of which a bearing is disposed, thus transferring rotating force to the engaging protrusion;

a worm wheel which is engaged so as to transfer the rotating force to the worm;

a decelerator which is engaged so as to transfer the decelerated rotating force to the worm wheel; and

a motor which is secured to one side of the decelerator for transferring rotating force and is installed inside of the body.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the ascending and descending means comprises:

a fixing unit which is installed at the bottom of the television;

a bracket which is secured to the fixing unit;

a plurality of first pulleys which is installed at the bottom of the bracket;

a second pulley which is installed inside of the body while being distanced by a predetermined interval from the bracket;

a wire which is hung over the first pulleys and the second pulley;

a decelerator pulley which is configured to wind or unwind the wire;

a decelerator which is engaged for the decelerator pulley to rotate with a predetermined constant rotating force; and

a motor which is secured to one side of the decelerator for transferring rotating force and is installed inside of the body.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the ascending and descending means comprises:

a fixing unit which is installed at the bottom of the television;

a bracket which includes a bracket protrusion and is installed at the bottom of the fixing unit;

an ascending and descending bar which is installed in a X-shape at the fixing unit;

a moving member which is installed at the bottom of the ascending and descending bar;

a gear rod which is engaged with the moving member, thus transferring rotating force;

a decelerator which is installed at one side of the gear rod; and

a motor which is secured to one side of the decelerator for transferring rotating force and is installed inside of the body.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the speaker is detachably installed at a front surface of the body.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the speaker and a monitor are integrally formed at a front surface of the body.

7. A speaker device for a television, comprising:

a body which is configured to play a role of an enclosure of a speaker installed at a front surface thereof, when a television moves upward above the body by an ascending and descending means.
