Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the so-called flat-screen television sets and video monitors and to cabinets therefor.
  • plasma television technology is derived from that of the fluorescent tube.
  • the screen is generally divided into individual cells, each comprising an inert gas, usually a neon-xenon mixture, sealed between glass panels.
  • an inert gas usually a neon-xenon mixture
  • the gas is electrically charged, the charged gas molecules strike red, green or blue phosphors.
  • red, green and blue phosphors To create a television image, comprised of many pixel elements, each group of the three red, green and blue phosphors forms a pixel element of the screen.
  • LCD screens are generally formed of layers of transparent material which are polarised, one layer generally being coated with a polymer that holds individual liquid crystals. Current applied to the crystals passes or blocks light from a light source behind the transparent layers to create an image.
  • these new forms of television screen are relatively thin, as compared with the conventional cathode ray tube based apparatus; they lend themselves to mounting upon a wall.
  • such screens complete with housing and mounting fixtures are typically greater than one metre in overall width. This can pose a problem for those considering the purchase of a flat-screen display, when considering how to arrange a flat-screen display, as an item of furniture, within their homes.
  • the mounting of a flat-screen display upon the wall of a conventional living room will result in the presence of a large grey area being present when the display screen is not in use, which said large grey area can easily dominate such a room.
  • a still further problem encountered with flat screen displays is that the wiring for connection to loudspeakers, aerials and power for the screen are either attached singly or within a trunking arrangement to a wall or are otherwise hidden from view in an expensive and relatively permanent arrangement. Such cables therefore look quite unsightly or are expensively buried, with little choice for rearranging the layout of a room once the cables have been encased.
  • the type of cabinet could be a blanket box, which could be placed at the foot of a bed.
  • Lifting mechanisms are known, which come in a number of forms, and are used to vertically raise a flat-screen display hidden within the furniture, when required to be viewed. For the remaining time, it can be hidden within the furniture.
  • US2004/0164659 W. Bober teaches of a modular sub-cabinet for motion furniture and shows a flat screen display mounted within a larger decorative cabinet.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a solution to the problems addressed above.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an aesthetically pleasing television or video monitor cabinet and further seeks to provide a relatively secure enclosure for an expensive item of electrical apparatus.
  • apparatus for use with a flat-screen display comprising: a fireplace surround adapted to stand against a wall, and comprising a mechanism which can support a flat screen display in a first position such that the flat-screen display remains entirely within the cabinet, hidden from view, and in a second position such that the flat-screen display is raised above the fireplace surround and a flat-screen display can be viewed by an onlooker, the mechanism being operable to move a flat-screen display between the first and the second positions.
  • the fireplace surround comprises a grate or fireplace, a hearth and a mantelshelf; the grate may comprise an electric fireplace conveniently with a flame effect arrangement, equally, the grate may comprise a gas fireplace also conveniently with a flame effect arrangement.
  • the fireplace surround may indeed comprise a faux-fireplace.
  • the fireplace may look as if it may be used on a regular basis but may, in fact, not be used at all - there is no electric, gas or other type of heating device.
  • the fireplace surround may comprise a screen, decorated or otherwise, which is permanently on view to give the impression that there is a fireplace, but such is not used or infrequently used, when there is in fact no grate or fireplace.
  • a flower display, potted plants or other types of object d'art may be present, to "hide" a non-existent or little used fireplace.
  • a method of operating a cabinet operable to enclose a flat-screen display when not in use within a cabinet comprising a fireplace surround adapted to stand against a wall, with a mechanism which can support a flat screen display in a first and second positions, the mechanism being operable to move the flat-screen display between the first and the second positions; fireplace surround provided with a fireplace in which a gas fire, electric fire or faux fire is mounted; in a first mode the method comprising the steps of operating the mechanism, such that, if initially the flat-screen display is in view, then the mechanism lowers the flat-screen display within the fireplace surround whereby to maintain the fireplace as a focal point of a room and, in another mode, the method comprises the step of raising the flat-screen display from within the fireplace surround such that the flat-screen display is visible.
  • a fireplace comprising a flame effect gas or electric fire, a fireplace surround, a hearth and a mantel and a flat-screen display; at least part of the fireplace surround, conveniently a mantel shelf, being displaceable to allow the display screen, otherwise hidden from view, to be raised for viewing.
  • the raising mechanism may comprise a screw drive or a rack and pinion mechanism, wherein an electric motor provides drive.
  • an hydraulic mechanism or a pneumatic system is employed.
  • Part or all of the mantel shelf may be raised together with the screen and may be attached to the upper edge of the display screen or to its raising mechanism for this purpose.
  • part or all of the mantel shelf may be hingedly mounted to the remainder of the cabinet, allowing it to be rotated on operation of the mechanism to a position allowing the display screen to be raised.
  • part or all of the mantel shelf may be slid out of the way, or withdrawn within the cabinet, to allow the screen to be raised.
  • a flat-screen display 1 is shown mounted within a cabinet 2 in Figures 1 and 2 and raised from the cabinet in Figures 3 and 4 for the screen to be viewed.
  • the display screen 1 is mounted on a mounting and lifting mechanism 3 to allow the screen to be raised and lowered as required, suitably under remote-control of a viewer seated in front of the screen.
  • a portion 4 of the top 5 of the cabinet is either raised with the screen and lifting mechanism, as shown in Figures 3 and 4 , or rotated about a hinge axis 6 out of the way, to allow the screen to be raised, as shown in the alternative scrap view of the Figure 5 .
  • part or all of the top 5 of the cabinet may be slideable, for example, to the dotted line position shown in the scrap view of Figure 6 , to allow the lifting mechanism to raise the screen. Part or all of the top 5 may also simply be withdrawn into the cabinet.
  • the display support part of top 5 may be moved by hand, by engagement with the lifting mechanism or by mechanical or electromechanical means specific to top 5, as would be apparent to one skilled.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 A number of different mounting and lifting mechanisms are commercially available, such as those illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 , and described in more detailed below. Wiring for the screen may be hidden within the cabinet.
  • the cabinet is suitably disposed against a wall (not shown in Figures), and the lifting mechanism 3 is mounted to the cabinet, to the floor, and/or to the wall. It will be appreciated that if connected to the wall, there may be beneficial security implications with regard to theft of the lifting apparatus and flat-screen display.
  • the apparatus described above is entirely conventional. What differs in the illustrated embodiment is the form of the cabinet 2.
  • a fireplace surround 7 which surrounds a fireplace or grate 8, providing a space for a fire and a hearth 9, which extends forwardly of the fireplace surround.
  • the top 5 of the fireplace surround serves as a mantel shelf or mantel piece.
  • an electric flame effect fire 10 As can be seen from the sectional view of Figure 2 , the screen 1 and lifting mechanism are located behind the fire 10 and fire space 8. For clarity and ease of illustration, the respective wiring for the television 1, the lifting mechanism and for the flame effect fire 10 have been omitted from the above drawings.
  • peripheral electrical equipment such as DVD players “home-cinema” equipment, antenna signal boost equipment, the so-called “digi-boxes” and other equipment can conveniently be placed inside the fireplace surround or within an aperture or orifice defined within the fireplace surround, suitably placed behind a cover or door, if required.
  • the fireplace surround can conveniently be formed from a wide range of materials, with due regard to considerations such as combustibility, taking into account whether or not and what type of fire is to be employed.
  • the fireplace surround comprises a grate, a hearth and a mantel shelf; the grate may comprise an electric or gas fireplace conveniently with a flame effect arrangement.
  • the fireplace may comprise a faux-fireplace.
  • the fireplace may look as if it is used on a regular basis but in fact does not comprise a chimney or fire or heating device.
  • the fireplace comprises a screen, which can be decorated, which is permanently on view to give the impression that there is a fire that is not used or infrequently used, when there is in fact no grate or fireplace.
  • Cabinet 2 may be fashioned in any appropriate fireplace style, such as, but not restricted to, mediaeval stonework, wooden Adam-style, Egyptian tile, Art Deco, metalwork, modern polished stone or glass. Stone, plaster (moulded or otherwise), wood, medium density fibreboard, plastics, fibreglass are examples (but not an exhaustive list)of suitable materials from which the fireplace surround can be formed.
  • Figure 7 shows a typical lifting mechanism.
  • a lift platform 11, generally of box girder form, is supported from respective side panels 12, 13.
  • a motor, not illustrated in Figure7 is mounted within the box girder platform 11 and drives a pair of inter-meshed spur gears 14 at either longitudinal end of the platform 11.
  • the side panels 12, 13, are generally C- shaped in profile, and each support a pair of longitudinal rack gears 15 along their inwardly directed edges, the racks facing each other and co-operate with spur gears 14.
  • the above described rack-and-pinion arrangement would serve to raise or lower the platform as a whole.
  • Top and bottom limits of travel are determined by adjustably positionable abutment stops which engage a limit switch 18 mounted on the rear of the platform 11.
  • Power to the lifting mechanism is provided electric power cable 19 and a control box 20, which may be mounted so that switches 21 are manually accessible through the side of the cabinet 2.
  • control box 20 may be coupled to a radio or ultrasonic sensor controllable by a corresponding remote-controller operated by a viewer of the display screen seated in front of the cabinet.
  • INCA of Gardena, California, USA, Wihelm GmbH of Steinbach-Hallenberg, Germany and Lift-Tech of Valencia, California, USA provide known lifting mechanisms.
  • the INCA system employs a motor that is housed within the platform that is raised and lowered.
  • the Wilhelm arrangement illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 provides an alternative arrangement in which a motor 22 is mounted within a housing 23 at the base of the lifting mechanism.
  • the Wilhelm lifting mechanism also incorporates a back panel 24 and side panels 25, 26, which, together with the housing 23, are fixedly mounted within the fireplace surround.
  • a movable structure, generally indicated 27 and shown in dotted line in its upper position and in solid line in lower position in Figure 8 is movable in a generally vertical direction, relative to the above described fixed structure to raise and lower any flat-screen display unit.
  • Movable structure 27 comprises a pair of uprights 28, 29 from which are mounted two generally horizontal supports 30, (omitted from view in Figure 9 ) adapted to support the rear of a flat-screen display, and two forwardly extending struts 31 adapted to support the lower edge of a flat screen display or shelf support.
  • the uprights 28, 29 are coupled together at their lower ends by a carriage 32, the coupling between the carriage 32 and the respective upright, passing through longitudinally extending slots 25a (not shown), and 26a in the respective side panels 25, 26.
  • Carriage 32 mounts a captive nut 33 that co-operates with a vertically extending screw shaft 34 mounted in bearings in the lower portion of housing 23 and top 35 of the panel 24.
  • Screw shaft 34 rotated by motor 22, causes captive nut 33 to move parallel with the axis of the shaft, dependent upon the direction of rotation, taking the carriage 32 and the remainder of the movable structure 27 with it.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des moniteurs vidéo et des téléviseurs à écran plat de même que des enceintes idoines. Les moniteurs vidéo et les téléviseurs à écran plat se présentent sous deux formes différentes, à savoir avec des écrans plasma d’une part et avec des écrans LCD d’autre part. Dans la conception de la maison moderne, dans n’importe quel salon dans lequel on trouve un moniteur de télévision ou vidéo, les sièges sont généralement angulaires de sorte que les gens peuvent facilement voir l’écran. Une telle configuration provoque des difficultés en ce sens qu’un téléviseur ou un moniteur vidéo constitue le point de focalisation de la pièce, même s’il n’est pas en service. Il y a d’autres problèmes dans la mesure où l’affichage à écran plat n’est généralement pas considéré comme agréable du point de vue esthétique. En outre, un équipement électrique onéreux ou modérément onéreux visible en permanence dans une salle peut constituer un risque pour la sécurité. La présente invention concerne un appareil pour une utilisation avec un affichage à écran plat, l’appareil comprenant : un contour de cheminée, adapté pour tenir contre un mur, sous forme de contour de cheminée, englobant un mécanisme capable de fonctionner pour supporter une télévision à écran plat dans une première position et une seconde position, l’affichage à écran plat pouvant être visualisé au-dessus du contour de cheminée dans une position d’exploitation. Le contour de cheminée constitue un point de focalisation naturel de la pièce.
