Abstract: In a television receiver swivel device, a turning ring rides on an annular groove on the upper surface of a supporting base so that it is capable of swiveling relative to the supporting base. A television receiver cabinet rides on this turning ring so that it is capable of swiveling relative to the turning ring. A stopper is interposed between the lower surface of the bottom panel of the cabinet and the upper surface of the supporting base such that swivel motion is possible within a certain swivel range and is prevented from swiveling beyond the swivel range. A manually operated override is provided to override the restriction, so that the television receiver can be swiveled manually beyond said predetermined swivel range to an angle of 180.degree..

Abstract: A terminal apparatus for a television receiver includes a support shaft disposed in the vicinity of an upper surface of a television receiver cabinet, a terminal box pivotally supported by the supporting shaft, and a plurality of terminals mounted on the terminal box for connecting the television receiver to external devices. The terminal box pivots between two positions so that the terminals are directed toward the back side of the cabinet and the upper side of the cabinet for concealing and connecting cables to the terminals, respectively.

Abstract: A swivel support structure for supporting an electric apparatus or console such as a television receiver console for angular movement from a neutral position to any one of leftward and rightward positions, which comprises a pedestal having a ring-shaped turntable on which the console is mounted. The turntable has a driven bevel gear formed therewith so as to protrude upwards and is frictionally rotatably mounted on the pedestal. A drive mechanism includes a remote-controlled, electrically operated reversible drive motor and a drive bevel gear drivingly coupled with the drive motor and partially protruding outwardly from the bottom of the console wherefor, when the console is mounted on the pedestal, the driven bevel gear on the turntable is automatically meshed with the drive bevel gear. The console is rotatable relative to the turntable and also to the pedestal.
