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;

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

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

wherein the body comprises;

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

a bracket having an engaging protrusion formed at both sides of the fixing unit and being secured to the fixing unit;

an engaging protrusion which has a via hold 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, and

wherein when the bracket moves in either upward or downward, the fixing unit secured to the bracket moves, and the television installed at the fixing member moves.

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

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

4. 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, the body,

comprises;

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

a bracket having an engaging protrusion formed at both sides of the fixing unit and being 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, and

wherein when the bracket moves in either upward or downward, the fixing unit secured to the bracket moves, and the television installed at the fixing member moves.
