Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plate-shaped stand, and more particularly, to a plate-shaped stand for erecting a plate-like body such as a photograph for viewing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, photos and the like are stored in albums and the like, and many people particularly store favorite photos and commemorative photos in a photo stand and decorate them on a table or a desk. In addition, other than photographs, cards or cards, on which patterns or specific characters are printed, or thinly crafted items may be put in a photo stand for decoration.

[0003] Here, as a conventional support structure for a photo stand, one having a photo display portion (posting portion) provided integrally with the frame body, one having the display portion itself standing up, and the like are mentioned. In general, these are photo frames of a display portion fixed type in which a display portion is fixed to a frame or is not movable.

[0004]

By the way, in the case of using the conventional display stand-fixed type photo frame, the display unit naturally stands in a certain direction. On the other hand, there is a photo stand that can not only display decorations such as photographs but also enhance the posting effect or display effect by attracting the viewer's interest and further add a function as a playground equipment in some cases. Was desired.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to easily move a plate-like body as an object of appreciation to achieve a dynamic bulletin effect, and furthermore, to provide an unexpected effect. It is an object of the present invention to provide a plate-like body stand that exhibits a certain movement and has a function as a playground equipment, which can also improve interior characteristics.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and as a result, the plate-like body such as a photograph can be raised without firmly fixing the plate-like body. The present inventors have found a configuration that can smoothly rotate the body with a small amount of power, and have completed the present invention.

That is, a plate-like body stand according to the present invention comprises a support member having a concave portion and a first magnetic body installed opposite to each other, a holding portion capable of holding the plate-like body, and a second member. A holding member having a magnetic material,
The holding member is supported such that an end thereof is in contact with a concave portion of the support member, and the second magnetic body is arranged at a predetermined distance from the first magnetic body and magnetic poles having different polarities face each other. Thereby, the first magnetic body is rotatably held between the recess and the first magnetic body.

[0008] In the plate-like body stand thus configured, the holding member is supported by the concave portion of the support member, and is provided between the concave portion and the first magnetic body. At this time, the end of the holding member contacts the concave portion, and the second magnetic body faces the first magnetic body at a predetermined distance. These two magnetic bodies are arranged such that magnetic poles (different poles) having different polarities face each other, and a magnetic force attracting each other acts. Thus, the holding member is erected along the virtual axis connecting the concave portion and the first magnetic body by the one-point support by the concave portion, and that state is maintained. Therefore, the holding member is smoothly rotated around the virtual axis with a small power.

The holding member is capable of holding the plate-like body, and when the holding member holding the plate-like body is installed on the support member, the plate-like body is rotated together with the rotation of the holding member. . The holding form of the plate-like body is not particularly limited, but if it is held parallel to the rotation axis of the holding member, the plate-like body can be rotated so that the front and back sides can be seen alternately under a slight wind force or the like.

Here, the optimal range of the magnetic or magnetic susceptibility of the first and second magnetic bodies and the distance between the two magnetic bodies depends on the shape, mass, moment of inertia, etc. of the plate and / or the holding member. Although different, it is possible to appropriately set a magnetic field in which a magnetic flux or a magnetic flux density is generated between the two magnetic bodies so that the holding state of the holding member holding the plate-like body is maintained.

It is preferable that the end of the holding member supported in contact with the recess has a conical shape. In this case, the contact resistance between the end portion and the holding member is reduced, and the rotation of the holding member becomes smoother. Further, it is preferable that the plate-like body is easily installed when the both ends of the holding member have a flat plate shape.

Further, it is more preferable that the support member has, for example, a plate-shaped pedestal provided with a concave portion because stability, particularly stability during rotation of the plate-like body is improved. Furthermore, it is also useful to further include a transparent or translucent housing case that is detachably held by the holding member and houses a plate-shaped body or another member to be viewed. This protects the plate-like body, and it is possible to decorate even if the object to be viewed is not plate-like but is easily dispersed.

In addition, it is preferable that the supporting member has a frame, and the concave portion and the first magnetic body are respectively arranged on the bottom wall or the bottom and the upper wall or the top of the frame. By doing so, it is possible to perform a work such as decoration using the wall surface of the frame. In addition, the support member becomes an integrated rigid body, and the structural stability is improved. Thus, the plate-shaped stand can be stably mounted even when, for example, another plate-shaped holder or another component is added to the support member.

[0014] In the present invention, "plate-like body"
For example, pictures, cards, pictures or characters such as figures or patterns are drawn or printed paper pieces, film pieces or sheet pieces, or those attached or sandwiched on a plate-like member, Both include those stored in the storage case described above.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the positional relationship such as up, down, left, right,
It is based on the positional relationship shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of a preferred embodiment of a plate-like body stand according to the present invention.

In the photo stand 1 (plate-like body stand), a holder 30 (holding member) holding a colorless and transparent case 20 (housing case) having one end opened is installed on a frame 10 (support member). It consists of The frame 10 is formed such that a U-shaped flat frame 11 is substantially vertically coupled to an end surface of a pedestal 14 having an overhang 13. This overhang 13
A concave portion 12 that opens upward is provided on the upper surface of the central portion of the substrate.

A substantially cylindrical magnet installation portion 1 that opens downward is provided at a portion of the frame 11 facing the recess 12.
5 are provided. A magnet 16 (first magnetic body) is inserted into and joined to the magnet installation portion 15 with its S pole facing outward from the open end side. Further, a pattern 17 as a decoration is drawn on the surfaces 11f and 11b of the frame body 11. Further, a clip 19 is attached to a projection 18 provided on the upper side 11u of the frame 11.

The holder 30 has a conical end 3.
1 and the substantially cylindrical end portion 32 are integrally connected via a connecting bar 33. The connecting bar 33 is connected to the end 3
1 and 32 are respectively connected to the upper and lower surfaces in the drawing substantially vertically. Further, the guides 31a, 31b and the guides 32a, 32a,
32b protrudes from the ends 31 and 32, respectively.
Inside the end portion 32, a magnet 35 is provided from its open end side.
A (second magnetic body) is inserted and joined with the N pole facing outward, and the magnets 16 and 35 are arranged at a predetermined distance as shown in the figure.

In order to decorate a photograph on the photo stand 1 having such a configuration, first, the case 20 accommodates one or two photographs (plates) to be viewed. When two photos are stored, it is preferable to store the two photos so that the back surfaces of the two photos are joined together.

Next, the central portion of the case 20 in which the photograph is stored is moved to the guides 31a, 32a or the guide 3 of the holder 30.
1b, 32b and the connecting bar 33. Thereby, the case 20 is fixed and held by the holder 30. Thus, the guide 31a, 32a or the guide 3
A holding portion is composed of 1b, 32b and the connecting bar 33. Next, the tip of the end 31 of the holder 30 is brought into contact with the recess 12 of the frame 10, and the end 32 is brought closer to the magnet installation part 15 of the frame 11.

Here, as the magnets 16 and 35, the holder 30 is bound in an upright state by a magnetic field having a strength formed based on the mutual magnetism at the distance between the two shown in FIG. In (2), a magnet having magnetism such that the magnetic force acting upward (strictly on the magnet 35) acting on the holder 30 is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the gravity acting downward on the holder 30 is used.

By doing so, the holder 30 is supported at one point by the recess 12 provided in the base 14, ie,
The end 32 stands up without touching the frame 10, and the state is stably maintained. In other words, the holder 30
Due to the balance between the magnetic force acting on the magnet 35 and the gravity acting on the entire holder 30, the upright state is maintained by the resultant force acting in the longitudinal axis direction.

As described above, the holder 30 supported upright only at the tip of the end 31 smoothly moves with a slight force about the virtual axis connecting the recess 12 and the magnet 16, ie, the longitudinal axis of the holder 30 as the rotation axis. Is rotated. For example, when wind is sent toward the case 20 held by the holder 30, the surface of the case 20 receives the wind pressure, and is very easily turned in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. In addition, the case 20 can be rotated irregularly according to the wind pressure received by the case 20 due to the movement of air in the room where the photo stand 1 is placed, convection, and the like.

In this manner, the photograph accommodated in the case 20 is not simply left standing in a fixed direction, but is rotated 360 ° about the rotation axis with the rotation of the holder 30.
It is turned to face.

According to the photo stand 1 configured as described above, the magnet 3
Due to the balance between the magnetic force acting on the holder 5 and the gravity acting on the entire holder 30, the holder 5 stands up at one point by the recess 12 provided in the pedestal 14, and the state is stably maintained. Then, since the photograph accommodated in the case 20 is rotated about the rotation axis thereof together with the holder 30, a dynamic posting effect that cannot be achieved by the conventional fixed photograph stand can be expected. And by such a rotation operation, a photograph can be enjoyed more happily, and the interior and entertainment of the photo frame 1 can be improved.

Further, since the holder 30 is supported at one point, the resistance at the time of rotation is extremely small. As a result, the photograph can be smoothly rotated with a small amount of power, so that the operability can be improved.
Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the posting effect.
Further, since a small amount of power is required to rotate the photograph housed in the holder 30 in this manner, the photograph is easily rotated by a delicate and irregular wind pressure such as an air flow. Therefore, an unexpected and unexpected rotation operation is realized, and it is possible to attract the interest of a person and appeal to the taste. Therefore, a function as a playground equipment can be given to the photo stand.

At first glance, at first glance, the photograph appears to be standing upright without any support, so that it is possible to give a strange sensation to human senses and ideas. Therefore, not only the irregular movement, but also the fact that the photo stands up,
It is surprising. Such a feeling is remarkable especially for a young person such as a child, and an effect of deepening the understanding of the effect of the magnetic field can be expected, and an educational element can be added in addition to the playground equipment function.

Further, the end 3 on the support side of the holder 30
1 has a conical shape, and the tip of the end 31 is pointed. Therefore, the contact resistance with the concave portion 12 is further reduced, and the rotation of the holder 30 is further smoothed. Therefore, the posting effect can be further improved. Further, the connecting bar 3 having a flat plate shape between the ends 31 and 32 of the holder 30.
3 and the case 20 holding the photograph can be easily installed, so that the operability and handling at the time of assembly are excellent.

Furthermore, since the frame 10 has the pedestal 14 in the shape of a flat plate, the stability, particularly the stability when rotating a photograph, is improved. In addition, when the photograph is stored in the case 20, the photograph is protected, so that damage to the plate-like body can be sufficiently prevented. Further, since the frame 10 has the frame body 11 and the design 17 as a decoration is applied to the surfaces 11f and 11b, the interior characteristics are further enhanced, and for example, the children's interest is further attracted. Becomes possible.

In addition, since the frame 10 is an integrated rigid body, the structure is stabilized. Therefore, even if components such as the clip 19 are added to the frame body 11 of the frame 10, the photo frame 1 can be stably installed on a table or a desk. When another picture or the like is placed between the clips 19, the more pictures can be enjoyed more enjoyably.

The case 20 includes cards other than a photo,
A piece of paper, a piece of film or a sheet on which a picture or character such as a figure or pattern is drawn or printed, or a member having flatness such as, for example, pressed flowers, or a handicraft that is easily dispersed is stored. Is also good. In addition, photo stand 1
May be used for advertisements in stores and the like, in addition to personal use in general homes. For example, you may arrange | position on the table of a restaurant. At this time, if a piece of paper in which an advertisement or a publicity statement is described is stored in the case 20, there is an advantage that the attention of a person can be raised and the appeal effect can be improved.

Further, the types of the magnets 16 and 35 are not limited, and the directions of the magnetic poles may be reversed. Furthermore, the case 20 may be a colored translucent material, a material that blocks light having a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet light or infrared light, or an optical filter such as this. Furthermore, the frame 10 may be divided into a plurality of parts. In this case, it can be supplied to the market as an assembly set, an assembly kit, and the like, and if the user can assemble, the play function and entertainment can be further improved,
Space required for distribution and storage can be reduced.

The materials of the frame 10, the case 20, and the holder 30 are not particularly limited. In particular, the frame 10 and the holder 30 may be made of any material such as metal, ceramics, resin, glass, and paper. A single material or a plurality of materials may be used, and both materials may be the same or different. Furthermore, a plurality of photo frames 1 may be provided or arranged in a row, or a plurality of photo frames 1 may be combined three-dimensionally or three-dimensionally. Still further, the photo stand 1 may be incorporated into other interior products or the like. Furthermore, the size of the photo frame 1 is not limited to a size that can be installed on a table.

The frame 11 may be rod-shaped, tubular, or the like, and the shape is not limited to a U-shape. Furthermore, the pedestal 14
Need not have the overhang 13. In addition,
The design 17 and / or the clip 19 are not always necessary. In addition, the case 20 is not necessarily required when the plate has a certain degree of rigidity as shown in the photograph. Also,
Instead of or in addition to the pattern 17, a seal or the like
May be affixed to.
