  Usually, people read and read books in their hands. In particular, when holding a book with one hand, the back of the book is placed on the palm of the hand, and the front cover and back cover of the book are supported by the thumb and other fingers. As a result, since the back portion of the cover of the book rises, both the left and right spreads hang down while curving toward the fore edge as the throat portion rises. For this reason, if a book is displayed in a natural state as if it was held by a person, the book can be viewed in a more natural state, and the impression of the book given to the viewer has also changed. come.

  However, if a transparent weight or a thin string-like member is used as in the past, the natural unevenness of the spread will be crushed, and the book cannot be displayed in a natural state as if held by a person. Moreover, since the knot part is hardened by joining with glue or thread, using a transparent weight or thin string-like member as before, the dorsal part is pushed down and the person seems to have Books cannot be displayed in a natural state.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the book display apparatus which can display a book in the natural state which a person had.

  A book display device according to the present invention is a book display device that displays a book in an open state, and is provided with a placement plate on which the book is placed, and a cover of the book provided on the placement plate. And a pair of arm portions that are cantilevered by the placement plate and whose free ends are in contact with the spread of the book.

  According to the book display apparatus according to the present invention, by holding the back side portion of the cover of the book with the grip portion, it is possible to reproduce a state in which the person holds the book with one hand in a pseudo manner, and the spread is the arm portion. The book can be held in an open state by being brought into contact with. Moreover, since it is the free end of the arm portion that is in contact with the spread, the spread area hidden by the arm can be minimized. For this reason, the book can be held in an open state without impairing the spreadability of the spread.

  In this case, it is preferable that the gripping unit lifts and holds the back of the book from the placement plate. By raising the back of the book from the placement plate in this way, it is possible to draw the back of the book toward the front with respect to the left and right ends of the book. It can be brought close to the state when it is held.

  Further, the arm portion is preferably made of an elastic body, is preferably cantilevered on the back surface of the mounting plate, and wraps around from the lateral side of the mounting plate to the surface side of the mounting plate. Thus, the entire surface of the placement plate can be used as a placement space for the book by cantilevering the arm portion on the back surface of the placement plate on which the book is not placed. In addition, by moving the arm part from the back side to the front side of the mounting plate, the elastic movable range of the arm unit can be greatly expanded, so it is easy to insert a book between the mounting plate and the arm unit. can do. In addition, by separating the left and right ends of the placement plate and the arm portion, a book having a width wider than the placement plate can be placed on the placement plate.

It is a perspective view which shows the state in which the book was installed in the book display apparatus. It is a perspective view which shows the book display apparatus of another example.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a book display apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an installation example of a book display apparatus according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a view (plan view) of the book display apparatus shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a view (side view) of the book display device shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the book display apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is installed in the wall surface W of a building, and is fixed to the mounting part 2 in which a book is mounted, and the wall surface W. As shown in FIG. And a connecting portion 4 that connects the mounting portion 2 and the fixing portion 3 to each other.

  The mounting portion 2 includes a mounting plate 10 formed in a rectangular flat plate shape, a lower end receiving plate 20 attached to the lower end portion of the mounting plate 10, and a gripping portion attached to the center portion of the mounting plate 10. 30 and a pair of arm portions 40 attached to the left and right ends of the mounting plate 10.

  The placement board 10 is placed with the book open. As for the mounting board 10, while the book is mounted in the surface 10a, the connection part 4 is connected with the back surface 10b. The placement plate 10 may have any shape and size as long as a book can be placed thereon. For example, the mounting plate 10 may be an elliptical flat plate shape or a bent plate shape, or may have a size according to the size of a book to be displayed.

  The lower end receiving plate 20 locks the ground of the book to prevent the book from falling from the placement plate 10. The lower end receiving plate 20 is erected from the lower end edge of the mounting plate 10 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface 10a. The lower end receiving plate 20 may be formed, for example, by bending the lower end portion of the mounting plate 10 toward the surface 10a, or by welding a long thin plate to the mounting plate 10. The lower end receiving plate 20 may have any shape as long as it can lock at least three points of the back of the book and the left and right cover pages. For example, the lower end receiving plate 20 is elongate across the entire lower end edge of the mounting plate 10. A plate shape may be sufficient and the rod shape and short plate shape which are intermittently formed in the lower end edge of the mounting board 10 may be sufficient.

  The grip part 30 grips the back side portion of the cover of the book and sandwiches the slot part of the book. For this reason, the gripping part 30 has a bulk upper part 31 extending in the vertical direction of the placement part 2 at the center of the placement part 2 and a pair of left side wall parts 32 arranged to face each other across the bulk upper part 31. And a right side wall portion 33.

  The bulk upper portion 31 raises the back of the book with respect to the placement portion 2. The bulk upper portion 31 is fixed to the placement portion 2. Any means may be used to fix the bulk upper portion 31 to the mounting portion 2, for example, welding, bonding, screwing, or the like. In addition, in order to raise the joint strength of the bulk upper part 31 with respect to the mounting part 2, the joint surface of the bulk upper part 31 and the mounting part 2 is made uneven, a joining area is increased, welding, adhesion | attachment, or adhesion | attachment and welding is carried out. It is preferable to do both.

  This bulky portion 31 is formed in a square cylinder shape, and is disposed on the opposite side of the surface 31a, the surface 31a being directed in the same direction as the surface 10a of the placement plate 10 and contacting the back of the book. A back surface 31b that serves as a joint surface with the mounting portion 2, a left surface 31c that is disposed adjacent to the front surface 31a and the back surface 31b and located on the left wall portion 32 side, and a right wall portion 33 side that is adjacent to the front surface 31a and the back surface 31b. And a right surface 31d.

  The height of the bulk upper portion 31 (the dimension from the back surface 31b to the front surface 31a) is lower than the standing height of the lower end receiving plate 20 with respect to the placement plate 10 so that the back of the book can be locked by the lower end receiving plate 20. It is a dimension. Note that the standing height of the lower end receiving plate 20 with respect to the mounting plate 10 may be set in accordance with the height of the bulk upper portion 31. The bulk upper portion 31 is formed with one or a plurality of screw holes penetrating from the right surface 31d to the internal space.

  The width of the bulk 31 (the dimension from the left surface 31c to the right surface 31d) may be any size, and can be set as appropriate according to the width of the back of the book to be displayed (the thickness of the back side portion). As will be described later, since the left side wall portion 32 and the right side wall portion 33 hold the back side portion of the cover of the book, it is slightly narrower than the back width (thickness of the back side portion) of the book to be displayed. It is preferable.

  The left side wall part 32 and the right side wall part 33 hold the back side part of the cover of the book. The left side wall part 32 and the right side wall part 33 are formed in a long plate shape standing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface 10 a of the mounting plate 10. The standing height of the left side wall portion 32 and the right side wall portion 33 is higher than the height of the bulk upper portion 31 so that the book raised on the bulk upper portion 31 can be gripped. And in the front-end | tip part of the left side wall part 32 and the right side wall part 33 which protruded from the bulk upper part 31, in order to protect the book to hold | grip, buffer materials, such as felt and foam rubber, are affixed on the opposing inner surface.

  The left side wall portion 32 is fixed to the left surface 31 c of the bulk upper portion 31. Any means may be used to fix the left side wall portion 32 to the bulk upper portion 31, for example, welding, adhesion, screwing, or the like. In addition, in order to raise the joining strength of the left side wall part 32 with respect to the bulk upper part 31, the joining surface of the bulk upper part 31 and the left side wall part 32 is made uneven, welding area is increased, welding, adhesion | attachment, or adhesion and welding It is preferable to do both. Further, the left side wall portion 32 may be fixed not only to the bulky portion 31 but also to the mounting plate 10.

  The right side wall portion 33 is attached to the right surface 31d of the bulk upper portion 31 by a screw 35 so as to be detachable and attachable / detachable. The right wall 33 is formed with one or a plurality of through holes through which the screw 35 penetrates at a position where it overlaps with one or a plurality of screw holes formed in the bulk upper portion 31. For this reason, the right side wall 33 can be attached to the bulk upper portion 31 by screwing the screw 35 penetrating the through hole of the right side wall portion 33 into the screw hole of the bulk upper portion 31. When the screwing amount of the screw 35 into the screw hole of the bulk upper portion 31 is increased, the right side wall portion 33 approaches the right surface 31d of the bulk top portion 31, so that the distance between the left side wall portion 32 and the right side wall portion 33 is increased. Can be shortened. On the other hand, when the screwing amount of the screw 35 into the screw hole of the bulk upper portion 31 is decreased, the right side wall portion 33 moves away from the right surface 31 d of the bulk top portion 31, and thus the separation distance between the left side wall portion 32 and the right side wall portion 33. Can be spread.

  The arm portion 40 is in contact with the spread and holds the book in an open state. The arm portion 40 is formed in an arc shape with a part of a circle missing by an elastic linear member. The arm portion 40 is cantilevered by the mounting plate 10. That is, the arm portion 40 has a base end 40a fixed to the back surface 10b, and is located on the side of the left and right ends of the mounting plate 10 and away from the left and right ends of the mounting plate 10 from the back surface 10b side to the front surface 10a. The free end 40b is disposed in front of the surface 10a. Thereby, since the free end 40b is arranged in front of the spread of the book placed in a state where the free end 40b is opened on the placement plate 10, the book placed on the placement plate 10 has the spread at the free end 40b. By being abutted, the opened state is maintained. In addition, when the width | variety which opened the book mounted on the mounting board 10 is narrower than the width of the mounting board 10, you may contact | abut the arm part 40 and the right-and-left end of the mounting board 10. FIG. .

  By the way, when a book is opened, a force is generated in the book to close the spread. For this reason, the base end 40 a and the free end 40 b are not arranged in the same straight line in the direction perpendicular to the surface 10 a of the mounting plate 10, and the base end 40 a is the back surface of the mounting plate 10. If it is not oriented in the direction perpendicular to 10b, the force that attempts to close this spread will force the base portion 40a of the arm portion 40 to tilt the arm portion 40 relative to the mounting plate 10. Works. Therefore, the base end 40a and the free end 40b are arranged in the same straight line in a direction substantially perpendicular (including vertical) to the surface 10a of the mounting plate 10, and the base end 40a is disposed on the back surface of the mounting plate 10. It is preferable that the direction is substantially perpendicular (including vertical) to 10b.

  In addition, the arm portion 40 is configured such that the free end 40b is separated from the surface 10a of the mounting plate 10 in a natural state in order to facilitate insertion of the opened book between the surface 10a and the free end 40b. Yes. Furthermore, the free end 40b abutted on the book is formed in a spherical shape so that the free end 40b does not damage the spread of the book. The separation distance between the surface 10a and the free end 40b is appropriately set to a dimension that facilitates insertion of a book between the surface 10a and the free end 40b. In some cases, the free end 40b is placed on the mounting plate in a natural state. 10 may be brought into contact with the surface 10a.

  The fixing part 3 is fixed to the wall surface and is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. The fixing portion 3 may be fixed to the wall surface by any means, but considering installation in various places, it is preferably performed by screwing.

  The connecting part 4 supports the mounting part 2 with respect to the fixed part 3. The connecting portion 4 may have any shape as long as it can support the placement portion 2, but is formed in a plate shape extending in the vertical direction from the viewpoint of increasing the support strength of the placement portion 2. It is preferable. Moreover, the connection part 4 inclines and supports the mounting part 2 with respect to the fixing | fixed part 3 so that the surface 10a of the mounting board 10 may face a viewer. In this case, the angle at which the viewer views the placement plate 10 varies depending on the height at which the fixing portion 3 is fixed to the wall surface W. Therefore, the connecting portion 4 preferably changes the inclination angle of the mounting portion 2 with respect to the fixing portion 3 in accordance with the height at which the fixing portion 3 is fixed to the wall surface W. In this case, the connecting part 4 may fix the inclination angle of the mounting part 2 with respect to the fixing part 3, or may be provided with a tilt mechanism or the like to change the inclination angle of the mounting part 2 with respect to the fixing part 3.

  The material of the book display apparatus 1 configured as described above may be any material such as metal such as iron, stainless steel, and aluminum, resin, and wood.
