DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bookstand suitable for leaning books such as magazines and booklets in a stable state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Magazines, booklets, and the like often have a thin cover, and the paper used for the text is weak. Therefore, the book as a whole is often weak.

A small rack 11 generally called a magazine rack as shown in FIG. 6, for example, stands against a book with a low rigidity such as a magazine or a booklet.
Furthermore, in order to lean on any book, not only a book with a low rigidity such as a magazine or a booklet, for example, a book stand of a type generally called a book end as shown in FIG.
Or, for example, as shown in FIG.
There is.

[0004] The small rack 11 has a narrow storage portion 1.
A plurality of books 1a are vertically shifted and provided in a plurality of stages in the front-rear direction.

[0005] The book end type bookshelf 12 is
A square metal plate is bent into a substantially L-shape, and the bottom surface portion 14a
And a pair of sandwiching plates 14 and 14 formed with a side portion 14b, and the book is leaned up between the side portions 14b and 14b of the plate members 14 and 14.

[0006] Further, the book stand 13 of the general specification has a back plate 13b and a bottom plate 1 between both side plates 13a, 13a.
3c, the book is leaned on the side plates 13a, 13a, the back plate 13b and the bottom plate 13c.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional small rack, the book is stored such that the front and rear surfaces of the book lean against the narrow storage portion 11a. Can be stored in a relatively stable state. However, in this small rack, the amount of book storage cannot be increased due to the structure in which the storage units 11a are vertically shifted and provided in a plurality of stages in the front-rear direction. There has been a problem that the lower end is easily brought into contact with the storage portion 11a and the book is easily damaged.

In the conventional book-end type bookshelf, the distance between the side portions 14b, 14b of the sandwiching plates 14, 14 is widened or narrowed in accordance with the number of books. If a book is set up so as to be sandwiched between the books, even a book such as a magazine or a booklet that has a weak back can be set up somehow. However, the book that is leaned against is simply in a state of being very unstable because it is simply sandwiched between the side portions 14b, 14b. Entrapment by the side portions 14b, 14b becomes insufficient, and the remaining book that has been pulled out breaks its waist and breaks into the side portions 14b, 1b.
4b, these books fall down. In addition, every time a book is extracted,
By narrowing the space between the side parts 14b, 14b of 4, 14,
Although the remaining books do not fall down, it takes time to narrow the space between the side portions 14b, 14b, and when returning the removed books, these side portions 14b,
14b had to be widened, and there was a problem that the labor was required again.

[0009] Further, the main frame 13 of the conventional general specifications described above.
In this case, the distance between the side plates 13a, 13a cannot be adjusted, and the book is merely leaned against the side plates 13a, 13a, the back plate 13b, and the bottom plate 13c. There is a problem that, when the book is leaned, the lower end of the spread side of the book is bent, and the book slips over.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. Even if a book such as a magazine or a booklet is weak, the book can be stably irrespective of the number of books to be leaned against. Moreover, the present invention has been made to provide a book stand that can lean against the book without damaging it.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a support shaft is provided between a lower portion of a front end of both side plates 1 and a support member is provided between lower portions of the both side plates 1 behind the support shaft 2. 3, the front side is a contact portion 4a with the binding portion 5 of the book B, and the lower front portion of the plurality of holders 4 provided with the lower end support portion 4b of the binding portion 5 of the book B Are attached to the support shaft 2 so as to be rotatable at appropriate intervals, and the support member 3 supports the lower side on the rear side of the mounting position of the support body 4 to the support shaft 2 so that the support members 3 4 is tilted forward of both side plates 1, and these holders 4 are inserted between both side plates 1.
