Abstract: In a monitor control box drawing apparatus, a control box pulled out by torsion spring elastic force from a housing mounted on the front case of a monitor. The control box is guided, when pulled out, by an arcuately shaped guide and protrusion, to travel downwardly along a predetermined path, so that convenient manipulation can be made, by a simple push of control switches, on the control box. A damper is provided between the control box and the housing to slow down the speed at which the control box travels from the housing. Also, an aesthetic visual appearance of the exterior of the monitor is provided.
