[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is a skeleton holding a product in a separable manner. Basically, notches are formed at regular intervals along the length direction between long sides on both sides of a metal strip. The support piece protrudes into the notch from a part of the portion surrounding the notch, and a product is extended to the tip of the support piece, and a separation line is provided between the support piece and the product. And a bending line or a separation line in a direction orthogonal to the projecting direction of the support piece is provided in the middle of the part located on both sides of the support piece among the parts surrounding the notch.

[0013] The skeleton comprises a metal strip,
It is formed by sequentially punching, bending or drawing by pressing, and further adding other steps as necessary, and the steps are not limited to specific ones. It is necessary to form notches at regular intervals between both long sides along the length direction of the metal strip, and the product is formed by extending a product to a tip of a support piece protruding therein. The shape and the like of the notch are not limited.
What is necessary is just to determine freely according to the structure of a product etc. and other convenience.

[0014] The support piece may be configured to protrude from any position of the notch in any direction.
However, the relationship with other configurations, that is, the bending or separation line should be formed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the support piece protrudes, from that viewpoint, perpendicular to the length direction of the metal strip. It is suitable to be configured so as to be parallel or parallel, and it is also appropriate to protrude from an appropriate position.

For example, the support piece may be protruded from one long side of the portion surrounding the notch to the other long side, and the bending or separation line may be formed in the portion surrounding the notch. It is appropriate that each of the pair of connecting pieces connecting between the long sides of both sides is formed in a direction orthogonal to the projecting direction of the supporting piece, and the supporting piece is formed of a portion surrounding the cutout portion. And projecting from one of a pair of connecting pieces connecting the long sides of both sides toward the other, and supporting the bent or separated line in the middle of the long sides on both sides of the portion surrounding the notch. It is appropriate to configure the direction perpendicular to the projecting direction of the piece.

The product provided at the tip end of the support piece may be of any construction and kind. Any structure can be adopted as long as it can be manufactured in such a form. This product is detachably provided at the tip of the support piece. As described above, a separation line is formed between the support piece and the product to enable separation. The separation line can usually be formed by forming a half cut portion. The half-cut portion can be formed on only one of the front and back surfaces or on both surfaces depending on circumstances. Further, the kerf cut portion has a V-shaped cross section.

Further, the bending or separating line is configured so as to be bent or separated along a predetermined line. The bending or separation line can be formed by forming a half-cut portion on both surfaces or one surface of a corresponding portion. As described above, both long sides determined by the relationship between the direction of the support piece and the protruding position or the connecting piece that connects the two long sides are configured to be orthogonal to the direction of the support piece.

In the case where the bending or separation line is formed in the middle of a pair of connecting pieces connecting the long sides of both sides, the bending or separating line is located near a position corresponding to the side of the supporting piece and the long side of both sides. In the case where the support piece is formed in the middle, it should be formed near the position corresponding to the side of the support piece. That is,
When the skeleton is bent or separated at the bending or separation line, respectively, the product configured at the tip of the support piece,
This is because it is convenient for handling to configure the skeleton so as to protrude forward from any part.

Therefore, according to the skeleton holding the product of the present invention so as to be separable, the product held by the skeleton usually does not need to be separated before being assembled to another corresponding product. You only have to keep it in the skeleton. When assembling to another product, first, the skeleton is bent or separated at the bending or separation line. When folding, fold along that line. In the case of separation, only the one with the support piece may be left and the other may be discarded.

When the bend or separation is performed in this manner, the product protrudes forward of the skeleton bend or separation line anyway if the bend or separation line is positioned on the side of the support piece. State. In relation to the product to be assembled, especially when there is no necessity and a bend or separation line is formed on the side of the product, the product does not protrude forward from the bend or separation line. There are also
If you don't need to do that, as mentioned above,
It is not a disadvantage in that. If the product is bent or separated as described above, at least a part of the skeleton located in front of the product is eliminated, and if the product to be assembled is not wide, there may be no inconvenience in assembling the product to this. It is a translation. Normally, as in the former case, it is preferable that the product be bent or protruded forward from the separation line.

Therefore, after this, the operation of assembling the product with another product to be assembled can be performed while holding the skeleton by hand or holding it with some kind of holding means.
If a certain part of a product is to be inserted into a certain part of another product, the operation can be performed very easily, and after insertion, it is separated along the separation line between the support piece and the product. If the skeleton is moved as much as possible, the product can be easily separated on the separation line. Of course, if the product to be assembled is movable and it is more convenient to move the product, the product can be separated from the skeleton by moving the product to be assembled along the separation line.

In addition, during the above operation, the operator does not need to touch the product at all, so there is no room for problems such as deformation of the product. Further, since the work is performed by gripping a large skeleton by hand or holding it by some holding means instead of a small product, the work becomes easy. Therefore, the defective rate can be reduced and speedy work can be performed.

This configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. The bending half-cut portion 17 is located on the side of the support piece 14 and has the same configuration as in the first embodiment.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 18 denotes a pilot hole.

Therefore, according to the skeleton holding the product of the second embodiment in a separable manner, the product 15 held by the skeleton can be used without touching the product itself as in the case of the product 5 of the first embodiment. It can be assembled with other products of interest and separated from the skeleton.

When assembling the product 15 to another corresponding product, it is necessary to first bend the skeleton at the bending half-cut portion 17 as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, since this is provided on the long sides 11, it is not appropriate to bend all at once, and it is appropriate to sequentially perform the bending from the end located at the end.

For example, first, the folding half-cut portions 17, 17 on both sides of the uppermost portion in FIG. 5 are bent. The manner of folding is the same as described in the first embodiment. When this is bent, the product 15 extended to the tip of the uppermost support piece 14 will protrude to the most tip, and what will protrude forward from this and hinder assembly work to other products? Is also gone.

In this state, the long side 1 of the skeleton is
