  • Patent number: 7611103
    Abstract: A display apparatus including a base plate; a display main body to display a picture thereon; a lifting member standing on the base plate and combined to the display main body to adjust the height of the display main body; at least one spiral spring connected to the lifting member and to elastically support the weight of the display main body and to extend and retract accordingly as the display main body is lifted up and lowered down; a supporter connected to the spiral spring and to extend and retract the spiral spring via rotation; and a friction member inserted in the supporter to contact with the spiral spring and to generate a predetermined friction while the supporter rotates so that the height of the display main body is maintained even when the weight of the display main body is changed. Accordingly, a display apparatus having an adjustable a display main body even when the weight of the display main body is varies.

  • Patent number: 7424991
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a base part, a main body, a slider connected to the main body, a guide rail to stand on the base part, and to guide the slider to slide thereon to move the main body up and down. The display apparatus also includes at least one spiral spring having an elasticity enough to support weight of the main body to extend and contract in response to a movement of the slider. Accordingly, the display apparatus has an improved structure of conveniently adjusting a position of the main body due to the slider being slid smoothly along the guide bracket.

  • Patent number: 7283354
    Abstract: A monitor apparatus including a monitor main body to display a picture, and a base supporting the monitor main body, the monitor apparatus including: a link provided between the monitor main body and the base; a monitor hinge interposed between the monitor main body and the link and rotatably supporting the monitor main body to the base; a base hinge having a base bracket interposed between the base and the link and rotatably supporting the link to the base; a protruding portion formed in one of the base bracket and the link; and a rotation restricting portion provided in the other one of the base bracket and the link, elastically contacting the protruding portion, and preventing the link from rotation so as to keep the monitor main body rotated in a position parallel with the base. With this configuration, a link of a monitor is prevented from being rotated due to the weight thereof and the link when the monitor is in parallel with a base.
