Patent number: 10951853Abstract: A connecting structure for attaching a wall-mount fixture to an external portion of a display device includes a fastening member. The fastening member is integrally formed as a one-piece, unitary member. The fastening member includes a receiving part, and first and second bent parts that extend from the receiving part, the first bent part having a first end plate with a threaded hole, the second bent part having a second end plate with a screw insertion hole, the first and second end plates overlapping with respect to each other and facing with the receiving part. The receiving part is configured and arranged to receive a distal end of a screw that extends through the insertion hole of the second end plate and is screwed into the threaded hole of the first end plate such that the screw is prevented from being screwed beyond the receiving part.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: FUNAI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideo Yonezawa, Yuki Kita, Akihiro Fujikawa, Kenji Ogura, Tsukasa Fujimoto

Patent number: 8967559Abstract: This invention relates to a stand attachment structure for attaching a stand that supports a low-profile display unit, such as a liquid crystal display, in an upright position, and to a rear cabinet. In the rear cabinet (1), a stand mounting part (10) including a temporal fixing means (13) is provided to allow temporal fixation of a stand (5) to the rear cabinet (1). The stand mounting part (10) includes a hook (11) for retaining the stand (5) in a predetermined orientation, and a reinforcing rib (12) having functions of reinforcing the hook and of guiding an engagement tab (52) disposed on the stand (5) for insertion. Then, the stand (5) is temporarily fixed to a display unit (P) by engaging the engagement tab (52) disposed on the stand (5) with the hook (11), and finally secured to the display unit (P) with a set screw (B1) after temporal fixing.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2010Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Ogura, Yuki Kita, Akihiro Fujikawa, Hideo Yonezawa, Tsukasa Fujimoto

Patent number: 8971027Abstract: In a display device cabinet, a fixing assembly to join a front panel and a rear panel include a first fixing mechanism that uses attachment screws and a second fixing mechanism that uses no attachment screws, which have a structure that prevents the application of excessive force to engaging openings and protrusions during the assembly process and disassembly process. The second fixing mechanism includes protrusions on an edge frame of the front panel, a mating piece provided on the rear panel, engaging openings provided in the mating piece, and rib-shaped plates defining stopper elements between the edge frame and the outer frame of the display module. The stopper elements prevent the protrusions from slipping out of the engaging openings by contacting the outer frame. The stopper elements are shaped to prevent interference between the stopper elements and the outer frame during cabinet assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideo Yonezawa, Yuki Kita, Akihiro Fujikawa, Kenji Ogura, Tsukasa Fujimoto

Publication number: 20040122984Abstract: An interface controller is designed to separately define the first control information to be supplied to the first latch means for controlling an operation of an interface-controlled device connected to the same controller and the second control information to be supplied to the second latch means for controlling an interface operation with the interface-controlled device, in a form of a pair of the first and second information. When there is an addition or a change in a command defined for the interface-controlled device, as for a command transmission to the interface-controlled device and as for an interface control operation of the interface controller itself, both the control information can be independently amended to cope with the addition or the change.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2004Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Hidemi Oyama, Katsumi Iwata, Yoshikazu Iida, Shinichi Fukasawa, Tsukasa Fujimoto
