Abstract
Abstract A monitor support comprising a monitor supporting part which contains speakers and supports the monitor. The monitor support comprises a base; a monitor supporting part coupled on the base to be rotatable, a side of the monitor supporting part formed base and the monitor supporting part so that the monitor supporting part can be rotated; and a shield for sealing the upper portion of the monitor. Therefore, the howling phenomena in the monitor is prevented since the sound pressures generated from the speakers are prevented from being transferred to the cathode-ray tube of monitor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
260 words
A monitor support comprising: a base; a monitor supporting part connected on the base to be rotatable in upward, downward, left and right directions, a side of the monitor supporting part being formed with a plurality of speaker fixing portions, said monitor supporting part defining an upwardly opening recess acoustically communicating with at least one of said speaker fixing portions, said monitor supporting part further including: a lower slip surface formed on a lower surface of the monitor supporting part and contacted with a slip surface of the base when the monitor supporting part is connected to the base; an upper slip surface formed at a predetermined height from said lower slip surface and contacted with a top surface of a conical projection from said base; a slip hole formed at a center of said upper slip surface so that a boss projected from said base can be inserted through the slip hole; a plurality of monitor fixing lugs formed on upper external surfaces of the monitor supporting part; and a plurality of shield fixing bosses formed internally of peripheral surfaces of the monitor supporting part; a connector for connecting the base and the monitor supporting part so that the monitor supporting part can be rotated: and an acoustical shield for both substantially sealing an upper portion of the monitor supporting part to close said upwardly opening recess so as to bound an acoustical cavity therein which communicates with said at least one speaker fixing portion, and to provide acoustical shielding to a monitor placed upon said monitor supporting part.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
260 words
A monitor support comprising: a base; a monitor supporting part connected on the base to be rotatable in upward, downward, left and right directions, a side of the monitor supporting part being formed with a plurality of speaker fixing portions, said monitor supporting part defining an upwardly opening recess acoustically communicating with at least one of said speaker fixing portions, said monitor supporting part further including: a lower slip surface formed on a lower surface of the monitor supporting part and contacted with a slip surface of the base when the monitor supporting part is connected to the base; an upper slip surface formed at a predetermined height from said lower slip surface and contacted with a top surface of a conical projection from said base; a slip hole formed at a center of said upper slip surface so that a boss projected from said base can be inserted through the slip hole; a plurality of monitor fixing lugs formed on upper external surfaces of the monitor supporting part; and a plurality of shield fixing bosses formed internally of peripheral surfaces of the monitor supporting part; a connector for connecting the base and the monitor supporting part so that the monitor supporting part can be rotated: and an acoustical shield for both substantially sealing an upper portion of the monitor supporting part to close said upwardly opening recess so as to bound an acoustical cavity therein which communicates with said at least one speaker fixing portion, and to provide acoustical shielding to a monitor placed upon said monitor supporting part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
