1. A stand for a liquid crystal display comprising:
a pipe-shaped stand member mounted on a back surface of the liquid crystal display configured to support the liquid crystal
display in an inclined state, the pipe-shaped stand member including:
a support portion extending horizontally relative to a rest surface of the liquid crystal display; and
two tip ends extending in a direction intersecting with the rest surface;
a holding member, to which the two tip ends of the stand member are mounted, the holding member including:
a rectangular-shaped slider mounted to the two tip ends of the pipe-shaped stand member, the rectangular-shaped slider having:
a side surface having substantially flat side center portion extending in a first direction substantially in parallel to a
second direction, in which the two tip ends of the pipe-shaped stand member extend and both rounded side end recessed from
the substantially flat side center portion of the side surface; and
one end surface and the other end surface, which extend in a third direction substantially perpendicular to the second direction;
a slider bearing member movably supporting the rectangular-shaped slider in the first direction, the slider bearing member
having:
a first stopper, against which the one end surface of the rectangular-shaped slider abuts; and
a second stopper, against which the other end surface of the rectangular-shaped slider abuts, and
a movement restricting member for restricting movement of the rectangular-shaped slider caused at a force equal to or less
than a predetermined moving force having:
a convex-shaped leaf spring mounted on the slider bearing member and arranged to abut against the substantially flat side
center portion of the rectangular-shaped slider; and
a push member made of a rubber material and pushing the convex-shaped leaf spring against the substantially flat side center
portion of the rectangular-shaped slider with a predetermined pushing force; and
a base member mounted on the back surface of the liquid crystal display and rotatably mounting the holding member.
