The support structure of the rear cover 230 may be formed to protrude rearwardly. While the rear cover 230 forms a support structure, the folding cover 260 may also form a support structure.

The rear cover 230 may at least partially form a shelf 232 for placing an object thereon. Since the shelf 232 of the rear cover 230 may place an object thereon, the support structure of the rear cover 230 may be required to be able to support the load of the object. The rear cover 230 may form a shelf support 233, similar to the folding cover. The shelf support 233 may be attached to the attachment portion 241 of the side cover 240, which may support the load of the object placed on the shelf 232.

The rear cover 230 may include the shelf support 233 to support a rear end 232a of the shelf 232. The shelf support 233 may support the load of the object placed on the shelf 232.

The rear cover 230 may include a rear support 234 attached to the attachment portion 241 of the side cover 240 to support the load of the object placed on the shelf 232. The rear support 234 may be attached to the attachment portion 241 by an attachment member.

The rear cover 230 may include a first folding guide 235a that divides the rear handle portion 252b, in which the rear handle hole 251b is formed, and the shelf 232. The rear cover 230 may include a second folding guide 235b that divides the shelf 232 and the shelf support 233. The rear cover 230 may include a third folding guide 235c that divides the shelf support 233 and the rear support 234.

The rear cover 230 may be secured at the upper side by coupling the rear handle hole 251b with the front handle hole 251a of the front cover 220, thereby ensuring structural stability of the support structure.

One or more peripheral devices 10 of the display apparatus 1 may be placed on the shelf 232. The peripheral devices 10 may include mobile phones, speakers, projectors, and the like. The shelf 232 may include a wireless charging device for charging the peripheral devices 10 while they are placed thereon. The wireless charging device may be a solar cell.

With the rear cover 230 forming the support structure, the folding cover 260 may also form the sunshade structure M2. Even when the rear cover 230 closes the interior space S of the case body 200, the rear cover 230 may form the support structure. As such, the peripheral device 10 may be simultaneously charged on the loop 265 of the folding cover 260, the charging dock 214, and the shelf 232 of the rear cover 230.

In response to the decoupling of the rear handle hole 251b of the rear cover 230 and the front handle hole 251a of the front cover 220, the upper end of the rear cover 230 may be attached to the attachment portion 241 of the side cover 240. The attachment portion 241 of the side cover 240 and the rear cover 230 may include an attachment member. The attachment member may be arranged on the upper end of the rear cover 230. In this case, a state in which the upper portion of the rear cover 230 is open may be formed.

FIG. 12 is a view illustrating the accessory for the display apparatus in which a stand is attached to the case.

Referring to FIG. 12, in the accessory for the display apparatus 100, a stand 400 may be attached to the case body 200 such that the case body 200 may be positioned at a distance from the floor. The stand 400 may be screw-coupled to the lower cover 210. The stand 400 may be vertically coupled to the lower cover 210, but for structural stability, it may be coupled to be inclined away from each other as the stand is further away from the lower cover 210. The stand 400 may also be hingedly coupled to the lower cover 210.

The stand 400 may be shaped like an elongate rod. The stand 400 may be formed by four rods and coupled to each corner of the lower cover 210 to support the case body 200. While the stand 400 with four rods is shown in the drawings, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the stand 400 may be formed regardless of the number of rods.

FIG. 13 is a view illustrating the interior space of the accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 13, the interior space S of the case body 200 may be provided with the holder 300 configured to hold the display apparatus 1. The holder 300 may be formed on the front cover 220 such that the display apparatus 1 is positioned adjacent to the front cover 220. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the holder 300 may be formed on the side cover 240.

A lower dock 211 may be disposed on the lower cover 210 of the case body 200 so as to support the display apparatus 1. The lower dock 211 may include a main slot 212 into which the display apparatus 1 is inserted. The display apparatus 1 may be supported by the main slot 212. In the main slot 212, a support protrusion 212a may be formed to support at least a portion of the rear surface of the display apparatus 1 together with the holder 300.

The lower dock 211 may include a stand slot 213 for receiving the stand 400. The stand slot 213 may be formed with a groove to allow the stand 400 to be received. The stand slot 213 may be formed with a plurality of grooves to allow each stand 400 to be received.

FIG. 14 is a view illustrating a state in which the stand is received in the case of the accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 14, the case body 200 may include a recessed portion 270 for receiving the stand 400. The recessed portion 270 may be arranged in the lower cover 210 of the case body 200. The recessed portion 270 may be formed to be recessed in the center of the lower cover 210 to accommodate the stand 400.

The stand 400 may be hingedly coupled to the case body 200 and thus may be stored in and removed from the recessed portion 270. The stands 400 may each be hingedly coupled, or a left stand and a right stand may each be hingedly coupled as a pair. However, in a case where the stand is screw-coupled to the lower cover 210 of the case body 200, a groove may be provided to allow the stand to be received in the recessed portion 270. The stand 400 may be hingedly coupled to the case body 200 to be rotatable about an axis in a vertical direction or about an axis in a left-to-right direction.

The recessed portion 270 may be formed with a lower opening 270a through which at least a portion of the lower cover 210 opens to allow the stand 400 to be placed in and out. The case body 200 may include a stand cover 271 to allow the lower opening 270a to be closed after the stand is received in the lower opening 270a. The stand cover 271 may cover the lower opening 270a, thereby preventing the stand 400 from being lost.

The accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment may protect the display apparatus when the display apparatus is received and carried.

The accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment may form the sunshade structure that blocks light from reaching the display apparatus.

The accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment may include the loop for placing one or more peripheral devices.

The accessory for the display apparatus according to an embodiment may receive and carry the display apparatus and one or more peripheral devices in unitary space.

The effects to be obtained from the present disclosure are not limited to those mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned will be apparent to those of skilled in the art.

The above-described embodiments are merely specific examples to describe technical content according to the embodiments of the disclosure and help the understanding of the embodiments of the disclosure, not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the disclosure. Accordingly, the scope of various embodiments of the disclosure should be interpreted as encompassing all modifications or variations derived based on the technical spirit of various embodiments of the disclosure in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
