JP 2000-71662 A

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and the object is as follows.
There is no possibility of damaging or fouling the sheet-like material, and even if the sheet-like material is thin, it is held without bending, and it is easy to display, remove and store, and to provide a sheet holder with low manufacturing cost. .

The configuration of the inventive instrument according to claim 1 (see FIG. 2) is an instrument that holds the surface of the sheet-like material so that it can be seen,
A substantially vertical front clamping piece 1 located on the front side of the sheet-like material;
The substantially vertical rear sandwiching piece 2 located on the rear side of the sheet-like object is opposed to each other at an interval of millimeter units.
And the said front side clamping piece and the back side clamping piece are curving so that the convex side may turn to the front,
The upper end of the rear holding piece is positioned higher (higher) than the upper end of the front holding piece.

The configuration of the inventive instrument according to claim 2 is in addition to the constituent features of the inventive instrument of claim 1 (see FIG. 3 (A)).
There is a flat portion on the rear surface of the rear sandwiching piece 2, and the double-sided adhesive tape 5 can be attached to the flat portion and attached to the wall surface 7.

The configuration of the inventive instrument according to claim 3 is in addition to the constituent features of the inventive instrument of claim 1 or claim 2 (see FIG. 3B).
A self-supporting leg 4 is foldably attached to the rear surface of the rear clamping piece 2 via a bracket 3 and can be raised on the table surface 8 by causing the self-supporting leg (arrow b). It is characterized by being.

When applying the inventive device of claim 1,
A sheet-like object can be inserted between the front and rear holding pieces, and can be quickly and easily held, and can be quickly and easily extracted.
In particular, since the front side clamping piece and the rear side clamping piece are curved, the sheet-like object is bent lightly. For this reason, even if the sheet-like material is thin and flexible, it is bent to increase the rigidity and is held independently.

  By applying the inventive device of claim 2, the sheet holder according to the present invention can be quickly and easily attached to or removed from the wall surface.

  By applying the inventive device of claim 3, the sheet holder according to the present invention can be posted on the table surface quickly and easily. Being able to stand on the table surface means that it can be posted not only on the table but generally at any place.

2A and 2B show an embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 2A is a front view, FIG. 2B is a side view, FIG. 2C is a rear view, FIG. 2D is a plan view (top view), and FIG. 1 is an external perspective view illustrating a part of an adhesive tape.
(See FIG. B) The sheet (6) posted by the device of the present invention is held with its surface (the surface to be shown) directed in the direction of arrow F. For convenience of explanation, this F direction is referred to as the front, and the opposite direction (arrow R) is referred to as the rear.

The front clamping piece 1 is located on the front side of the sheet-like object 6, and the rear clamping piece 2 is located on the rear side of the sheet-like article 6.
(Refer to FIG. D) The front side clamping piece 1 and the rear side clamping piece 2 are each curved in a convex shape toward the front side (F). The distance t between them is 1.9 millimeters in this embodiment. When practicing the present invention, the value of the dimension t is not limited, but is preferably about several millimeters.
Thereby, the arc-shaped deep groove | channel m whose width dimension is several millimeters is formed.
The sheet-like object 6 is inserted into the groove m.
In the present invention, “a shape that is convexly convex toward the front side (F)” means a shape similar to a cylindrical surface whose axis is substantially vertical in use. However, the similar width is very wide, including the elliptical cylinder surface.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the sheet-like material 6 is inserted between the front holding piece 1 and the rear holding piece 2.
Since the front side clamping piece 1 and the rear side clamping piece 2 are curved, the sheet-like material 6 inserted between them is also slightly curved. For this reason, even if the sheet-like material is thin and flexible paper, it is held independently.
In FIG. 1, the front-side holding piece 1 and the rear-side holding piece 2 are drawn while being partially broken, so that the cross-sectional shape is an irregular U-shape.

It was understood from FIG. 1 described above that the sheet holder of the present embodiment can function to hold a sheet-like object.
Next, it must be considered how to attach the sheet holder to the desired location.
As shown in FIGS. 1B, 1C and 1D, a bracket 3 is provided on the rear side of the rear holding piece 2. A self-supporting leg 4 is attached to the bracket by a pivot shaft 4a. The operation of this self-supporting leg will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.

  In the sheet holder according to the present invention, a flat portion is formed on the rear surface. In the present embodiment, the rear surface of the self-supporting leg 4 is flat. FIG. 2E schematically illustrates an adhesive tape. A large number of small-sized double-sided adhesive tapes 5 are arranged on the tape release paper 5a. The cover release paper 5b attached to the surface of the double-sided adhesive tape of the small piece is peeled off and attached to the rear surface of the self-supporting leg 4 as indicated by an arrow a. The state of pasting is shown in (B), (C), and (D).

FIG. 3A is an enlarged view of FIG. In order to make reading easier, the double-sided adhesive tape 5 is drawn thicker than it actually is. When this double-sided adhesive tape is pressed against the wall surface 7, the sheet holder of this example is fixed to the wall surface.
As can be understood by comparing FIG. 3A and FIG. 1 described above, the sheet holder can be fixed to the wall surface, and a sheet-like object can be posted along the wall surface.
As described above, since the held sheet-like object 6 is curved, it can stand on its own.

Further, since the curved sheet-like material is lightly pressed against the front holding piece 1 and the rear holding piece 2 by the restoring force, the holding is ensured. That is, it is maintained to such an extent that there is no fear of being blown away with a little wind.
Moreover, since the clamping force is about this level, the sheet can be easily pulled out by picking it with a fingertip. As a result, it is possible to quickly and easily insert / remove the posted sheet-like material (anything such as a photograph, a poster, a postcard).

(See FIG. 3 (B)) When the self-supporting leg 4 is raised as shown by the arrow b, it can stand on the table surface 8. Of course, not only on the table but also on the bookcase or on the display shelf, it can be properly set up and used in any way, and is within the technical scope of the present invention.
In the state of FIG. 3 (A), the front side clamping piece 1 and the rear side clamping piece 2 are almost vertical, but are slightly inclined in FIG. 3 (B).
In the present invention, “substantially vertical” with respect to the front-side holding piece 1 and the rear-side holding piece 2 means that it is “closer to vertical than horizontal” when the device of the present invention is used.
When the instrument is observed alone, the phrase “substantially vertical” does not limit the configuration of the instrument of the present invention.

(Refer FIG. 3 (B)) The front side clamping piece 1 and the rear side clamping piece 2 have the space | interval t as previously demonstrated with reference to FIG. 2 (D). Furthermore, the rear clamping piece 2 is taller than the front clamping piece 1. Since it is configured in this way, it is very easy to insert the sheet-like object 6 between them as shown by an arrow c.
For this reason, the device of the present invention can be handled even by a child, and there is no possibility of causing troubles such as pinching of a fingertip, which is safe.
