Description

This disclosure relates to a support stand.

Desk calendars have been used for a long time. Desk calendars are in high demand, and are often distributed to customers as they can be configured to be small before use. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a stand (support) on which a book-type calendar section can be propped up.

Utility Model Registration No. 3180049

However, in the support stand of Patent Document 1, the fasteners are provided in front of the book-type calendar section (on the observation side), so there are cases where the lower part of the book-type calendar section is not visible or is difficult to see. In addition, the configuration of the support stand in Patent Document 1 can easily cause it to tip diagonally backward.

The objective of this disclosure is to provide a support stand that can support items in a way that makes them easier to see and is less likely to tip over.

The present disclosure solves the above problems by the following solutions. Note that, for ease of understanding, the following explanations are given with reference symbols corresponding to the embodiments of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited to these.

The first disclosure is a support base (1) configured by combining a main body member (10) and a beam member (20) and supporting a sheet-like item (30), the main body member (10) being formed of a foldable plate-like material, and including a folding line (L0) extending in the vertical direction in a usage form, a first wall portion (11) and a second wall portion (12) that are arranged symmetrically with respect to the folding line (L0), extension portions (13, 14) that extend from below the first wall portion (11) and the second wall portion (12) diagonally forward in a usage form, and a support base (1) for supporting the item (30) provided on the extension portions (13, 14). ), and a body engagement groove (15, 16) that is located rearward of the support portion (13a, 14a) in the usage mode and extends upward from the lower end of the first wall portion (11) and the second wall portion (12), and the beam member (20) has at least two beam engagement grooves (21, 22) that engage with the body engagement grooves (15, 16), and the crossing angle between the first wall portion (11) and the second wall portion (12) is maintained at a predetermined angle by the engagement of the body engagement grooves (15, 16) and the beam engagement grooves (21, 22).

The second disclosure is the support base (1) described in the first disclosure, characterized in that the body engagement grooves (15, 16) and the beam engagement grooves (21, 22) have a slip-out prevention shape that makes it difficult for the engagement to come off.

The third disclosure is the support base (1) described in the first or second disclosure, characterized in that the main body member (10) and the beam member (20) are made of the same material.

This disclosure provides a support stand that can support items in a way that makes them easier to see and is less likely to tip over.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the support base 1 according to the present invention from the front. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the support base 1. FIG. 3 is a view showing a die-cut sheet 100 in which each member of the support base 1 is die-cut. Incidentally, each of the figures shown below, including FIG. 1, is a schematic view, and the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated or omitted to facilitate understanding. In addition, in the following description, specific numerical values, shapes, materials, etc. are shown and explained, but these can be changed as appropriate. In this specification, words such as plate, sheet, and film are used, but these are generally used in the order of thickness, plate, sheet, and film, and are used in this specification in accordance with this order. However, since such distinction in usage has no technical meaning, these words can be appropriately replaced. In this specification, the plate surface refers to the surface of each plate-shaped member that is in the planar direction of the plate-shaped member when viewed as the plate-shaped member as a whole.

The support base 1 of this embodiment is capable of supporting plate-like or sheet-like items such as calendars, photographs, smartphones, tablet terminals, etc. Here, an example of a form for supporting a calendar main body 30 and a calendar holder 40, which will be described later, will be described. The front-rear, up-down, left-right directions shown by arrows in Figs. 1 and 2 will be used for the explanation. Note that left and right are indicated as left and right as viewed from the support base 1. In other words, the left side when facing forward from the support base 1 is defined as the left, and the right side is defined as the right. The front-rear and left-right directions are assumed to be along the horizontal direction. The support base 1 is constructed by combining a main body member 10 and a beam member 20.

The main body member 10 is formed into a generally trapezoidal shape from a foldable plate-like material, for example, a plate-like paper with a thickness of about 1 mm to 3 mm. In this embodiment, the main body member 10 is formed from paper, but it may be formed from other materials such as a resin plate, a wood plate, or a metal plate. The main body member 10 has a folding line L0, a first wall portion 11, a second wall portion 12, extension portions 13, 14, support portions 13a, 14a, and main body engagement grooves 15, 16.

The fold line L0 extends in the vertical direction when the support base 1 is in use, and is folded so that it forms a valley fold when the support base 1 is viewed from the front.

The first wall portion 11 is located to the right of the folding line L0 and is a wall that extends substantially vertically when in use.

The second wall 12 is located to the left of the folding line L0 and extends substantially vertically in the usage state. The first wall and the second wall are arranged symmetrically with respect to the folding line L0.

The extensions 13 and 14 extend diagonally forward from below the first wall 11 and the second wall 12, respectively. Supports 13a and 14a are provided on the extensions 13 and 14, respectively. Supports 13a and 14a are concave and open at the top, and can support items such as calendars.

The main body engagement grooves 15, 16 are located rearward of the support portions 13a, 14a in the usage mode, and extend a predetermined length upward from the lower ends of the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12.

The beam member 20 is a long, thin plate-like member, and is used in combination with the main body member 10. In this embodiment, the beam member 20 is formed from the same material as the main body member 10. The beam member 20 may be formed from a material different from that of the main body member 10. The beam member 20 has beam engagement grooves 21, 22 that engage with the main body engagement grooves 15, 16. The beam engagement grooves 21, 22 extend a predetermined length from above to below in the usage form. By assembling the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 by engaging them, the intersection angle between the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 can be maintained at a predetermined angle. This intersection angle is preferably 80° to 100°, and more preferably 90°.

The length of extension of the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 (groove depth) is approximately the same as the length from the groove bottom of the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 to the lower end of the beam member 20. Therefore, when the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 are inserted into the main body engagement grooves 15, 16, respectively, and the groove bottoms of the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the groove bottoms of the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 are in contact with each other, the lower end of the main body member 10 and the lower end of the beam member 20 are approximately aligned. Therefore, when the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 are combined, the lower end of the main body member 10 and the lower end of the beam member 20 come into contact with the installation surface of the desk or the like on which the support base 1 is placed, and the contact area between the support base 1 and the ground surface is large, allowing the support base 1 to be stably supported.

In particular, in the support base 1 of this embodiment, the beam member 20 is assembled behind the support parts 13a and 14a in the usage mode, and both left and right ends of the beam member 20 protrude in the left-right direction beyond the first wall part 11 and the second wall part 12. Therefore, the support base 1 can be supported diagonally behind, the support base 1 is less likely to tip diagonally backward, and can stand independently more stably than before.

In addition, in the support stand 1 of this embodiment, the beam member 20 is combined with the support parts 13a and 14a at a position behind them in the usage mode, so the beam member 20 does not exist in front of the supported item. Therefore, the beam member 20 does not get in the way when viewing the item, and the item can be supported in a way that makes it easier to see.

The main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 have a retaining shape that makes it difficult for the engagement to come off from the assembled state. Specifically, the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 are all shifted in the groove width direction between the shallow and deep parts of the groove. This makes it easy to assemble the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 at the beginning, and when they are engaged deeper, the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 are engaged in a state in which they are slightly deformed due to the shift in the extension position of the groove. Therefore, the engagement between the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 is difficult to come off. In addition to the example disclosed in this embodiment, the specific form of the retaining of the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 can be appropriately used with a conventionally known retaining shape. In addition, the retaining shape may be omitted.

Although the embodiment shows an example in which one each of the main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and the beam engagement grooves 21, 22 are provided, more of each may be provided at different positions. By doing so, the angle at which the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 intersect can be changed, and the width of the article supported by the support portions 13a, 14a can be changed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 can be produced by cutting them out from a single die-cut sheet 100. In this case, for example, if the cut-out shapes of the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 are configured to be partially connected, they can be distributed in the form of the die-cut sheet 100. Users can cut out the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 from the die-cut sheet 100 and assemble them themselves. In addition, the parts where the main body member 10 and the beam member 20 are combined are provided with main body engagement grooves 15, 16 and beam engagement grooves 21, 22, and they are combined by inserting them into each other. Therefore, the user can easily remove each member from the die-cut sheet 100 and assemble it to the support base 1 without using tools, adhesives, etc. In addition, in this embodiment, the outer diameter shape and size of the die-cut sheet 100 are approximately the same as those of the calendar main body 30 described later, and it can be stored in the calendar holder 40 described later together with the calendar main body 30, which is highly convenient for handling. In addition, since all the components that make up the support base 1 are made of the same material, it is convenient when disposing of them. Note that FIG. 3 shows an example in which one main body member 10 and two beam members 20 are arranged on one die-cut sheet 100. One of the two beam members 20 is a spare. Therefore, one main body member 10 and one beam member 20 may be arranged on one die-cut sheet 100.

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a calendar set 200 that uses the support base 1 of this embodiment. The calendar set 200 includes a die-cut sheet 100 from which the support base 1 can be made, a calendar body 30, and a calendar holder 40.

The calendar body 30 is a booklet-like calendar in which the top ends of multiple sheets (e.g., 12 sheets) of calendar paper on which the calendar for each month is printed are temporarily joined together with top glue. The calendar paper can be made of, for example, high-quality paper or matte paper. Note that, although a booklet-like calendar is used in this embodiment, multiple sheets (e.g., 12 sheets) of calendar paper on which the calendar for each month is printed may also be provided in the form of individual leaves.

The calendar holder 40 accommodates the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30 to facilitate distribution, and is supported by the support base 1 to hold the calendar body 30 when in use.

Figure 5 is an exploded view showing the calendar holder 40 in an exploded state. The calendar holder 40 can be made of, for example, coated cardboard or cardboard. The calendar holder 40 has a back portion 41, a front portion 42, a flap portion 43, a band portion 44, and a fold-in portion 45. Note that in Figure 5, the inner sides of the back portion 41 and the front portion 42 in the usage form are shown as the front side of the page. The calendar holder 40 also has fold lines L1 to L4 shown by two-dot chain lines. The fold lines L1 to L4 are all folded in a valley fold in Figure 5. The fold lines L1, L2, and L3 extend parallel to each other with a gap between them. This is to provide a gusset for housing the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30.

The rear portion 41 is formed with an outer shape slightly larger than the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30. The front portion 42 is connected to the rear portion 41 across a fold line L1. The flap portion 43 is connected to the rear portion 41 across a fold line L2 and protrudes to the left and right. The band portion 44 extends in an elongated manner in the left-right direction and is connected to the rear portion 41 across a fold line L3. The fold-in portion 45 is narrower than the band portion 44, extends in an elongated manner in the left-right direction, and is connected to the band portion 44 across a fold line L4.

The calendar holder 40 can be configured as shown in FIG. 4 by folding the flap portion 43 at the folding line L2, folding the folding lines L3 and L4, and folding the fold-in portion 45 between the back portion 41 and the band portion 44. The front portion 42 can then be folded at the folding line L1 to insert the die-cut sheet 100 and part of the calendar body 30 between the back portion 41 and the band portion 44, to provide a storage configuration.

Figure 6 shows a calendar set 200 in which the calendar holder 40 is housed. As shown in Figure 6, the calendar holder 40 can house the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30, and all of the items can be kept together, which is highly convenient when distributing the calendar.

A user who has obtained the calendar set 200 in the form shown in FIG. 6 can remove the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30 from the calendar holder 40 and use it as a tabletop calendar. Specifically, the body member 10 and the beam member 20 are cut out from the die-cut sheet 100 and assembled to assemble the support base 1 in the form shown in FIG. 1.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of how to use the support base 1. The front part 42 of the calendar holder 40 from which the die-cut sheet 100 and the calendar body 30 have been removed is inserted between the back part 41 and the band part 44. Then, by inserting the lower part of the calendar body 30 between the front part 42 and the band part 44, both the calendar body 30 and the calendar holder 40 can be supported by the support base 1 as shown in Figure 7. For example, the name of the company that distributed the calendar set 200 can be printed and displayed on the band part 44 of the calendar holder 40. In addition, by using the calendar holder 40, it is possible to hold the used sheets of calendar paper removed from the calendar body 30 without discarding them. Note that the support base 1 may be used in such a way that only the calendar body 30 is supported by the support base 1 without using the calendar holder 40.

As described above, the present disclosure provides a support stand that can support items in a more visible manner and is less likely to tip over.

The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and variations are possible, and the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above.
