Abstract

Disclosed is a display holding device which retains one or more displays in such a way that they move laterally and smoothly. The display holding device, which is installed between at least one display and a supporting body supporting the display, includes (1) a guide mechanism secured to the supporting body, and (2) at least one holding mechanism for transmitting, to the guide mechanism, a moment due to weight of the display, and being secured to the display. In addition, the guide mechanism includes (a) a guide portion spanning laterally, and (b) a stopper placed along the guide portion. The holding mechanism includes (c) a slider mating with the guide portion in a slidable manner, and (d) a contact portion facing the stopper. The stopper blocks the contact portion from being displaced in the direction of the moment, and allows it to be displaced in the opposite direction.
