Abstract

A screen rack for two screens, comprising a case for electric components, whereby power supply adapters for a PC and two screens that can be installed on the screen rack are arranged in the case.

Claims

1. A screen rack for two screens, comprising a case for electric components whereby power supply adapters for a PC and two screens (that can be installed on the screen rack are arranged in the case.

2. A screen rack according to claim 1, wherein the case has a flexible and/or removable case section in order to open or to close the case at least partially.

3. A screen rack according to claim 1, wherein at least the main circuit board of the PC is arranged in the case, whereby the main circuit board of the PC preferably contains the central process unit and, where required, a hard disc drive of the PC.

4. A screen rack (1) according to claim 1, wherein the power supply adapters for the PC and the two screens that can be attached to the screen rack are supplied with power through a joint power cable, whereby the joint power cable is preferably designed as a double cable with an integrated network cable.

5. A screen rack (1) according to claim 1, wherein the case is essentially has a cuboid-shaped design, whereby the case is preferably aligned in an upright position, whereby the smallest side areas of the cuboid point upwards or downwards and/or the largest side areas of the cuboid point to the front or the rear.

6. A screen rack according to claim 1, wherein the case has at last two vertically offset ventilation apertures between which at least one of the power supply adapters and/or the CPU of the PC is arranged so that the power supply adapter and/or the CPU of the PC is cooled by air that enters the case through a lower ventilation aperture and that flows out of the case through the upper ventilation aperture after heating the power supply adapter and/or the CPU of the PC by means of exhaust air.

7. A screen rack (1) according to claim 1, wherein the screen rack has a mounting section that can be positioned on an even surface, whereby the mounting section is located exactly under the screens if two screens are installed on the screen rack in accordance with the intended use, whereby the mounting section is preferably dimensioned in a way that two screens can be installed on the screen rack next to each other in a horizontal format while the screen rack is standing on the even surface in a tilt-proof manner.

8. A screen rack according to claim 1, wherein the case has at least one cable throughput aperture, whereby the cable throughput aperture preferably points towards the rear of the screens if the screens are installed on the screen racks in accordance with the intended use and whereby it its concealed by the screens.

9. A screen rack (1) according to claim 1, wherein the screen rack has a mounting section with ports for the installation of two screens, whereby the ports are preferably designed according to the VESA standard, whereby the mounting section is preferably height- and/or tilt-adjustable, whereby each individual port is preferably tilt-adjustable in relation to the mounting section.

10. A screen rack according to claim 1, wherein the screen rack has an inductive charging surface in order to inductively charge electric devices.
