Abstract

Abstract In this invention, a first slider (13) is slidably provided in a holding part (12) provided in a housing part (11) within a car, a second slider (14) is further slidably provided along this first slider (13) and a liquid crystal display (17) is rotatably provided through a hinge (15) at the tip of this second slider (14). Further, an engaging means is provided on said housing part (11) and second slider (14) so that, when the liquid crystal display (17) is housed, the above mentioned display, second slider and first slider may be disengageably housed within the above mentioned holding part by the above mentioned engaging means and the liquid crystal display may be always kept energized in the sliding direction by the energizing means and, when the liquid crystal display (17) is to be used, it may be easy to move in the sliding direction by the energizing force. With such formation, when the liquid crystal display (17) is to be used, it is perfectly pulled out of the holding part (12) and is rotated upward at the end so that the liquid crystal displaying part (16) may face the driver side and, by the operation reverse to this, the liquid crystal display (17) can be housed within the holding part (12).
