(Embodiment 1)

In the present embodiment, the article support according to the present invention is formed by using a calendar configured by bonding a plurality of papers (in which date and the like are indicated) with an adhesive or the like applied to the upper part of the back as articles. Explain the platform.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an article support base 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic development view of the article support base 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the article support base 1 is configured of a rectangular mount 5 (plate-like member).

From the one end 10 in the longitudinal direction of the backing 5 to the other end 50 (from the top to the bottom), in the backing 5, three bending portions 20, 30, 40 parallel to each other in the width direction Provided in

In the backing sheet 5, the adhesive portion 15 divided by the first bent portion 20 from the one end 10, the foot portion 25 divided by the first bent portion 20 and the second bent portion 30, and A ground portion 35 divided by the second bent portion 30 and the third bent portion 40 and a support portion 45 divided by the third bent portion 40 and the other end 50 are formed.

Here, the lengths L15, L25, L35, and L45 of the vertical widths (vertical directions) of the respective portions 15, 25, 35, 45 have a relationship as shown in the following equation, and from one end 10 The ratio of the distance between the first bending portion 20 (L15) and the distance between the third bending portion 40 and the other end 50 (L45) is in the range of 1: 1 to 1:20. It has become.

Then, a rectangular first display portion 60 is formed in the vicinity of the third bent portion 40 side of the back surface side of the support portion 45 (the article side surface when the article support 1 is formed). As will be described later, it is possible to display information that the user wants to recognize.

Further, a rectangular second display portion 70 is formed in the vicinity of the second bent portion 30 side of the rear surface side surface of the foot portion 25, and it is recognized by the user in the same manner as the first display portion 60. You can now display the information you want. The information displayed on the first display unit 60 and the second display unit 70 may be the same or different.

Then, the bent portions 20, 30, 40 are bent from the mount 5 to form the article support 1. Specifically, first, the first bending portion 20 is bent to the back surface side (rear side) with respect to the paper surface. Next, the second bending portion 30 is bent in the opposite direction to the bending direction of the first bending portion 20. Then, the third bending portion 40 is bent in the same direction as the bending direction of the second bending portion 30. Finally, the angle of each bent portion 20, 30, 40 is adjusted so that the support portion 45 contacts the back surface of the article (calender). Then, the article support 1 having a substantially triangular cross section formed by the foot portion 25, the ground portion 35 and the support portion 45 is formed. In addition, the support stand 45 should just be arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the back surface of a calendar, and does not need to contact.

As shown in FIG. 3, the article support base 1 is configured to be capable of adhering the upper part of the calendar 100, which is an article, to the adhesive part 15 via a double-sided tape, an adhesive, or the like. The article support 1 may be directly adhered to the calendar 100 or may be adhered indirectly via a member such as cardboard.

Here, the material constituting the mount 5 can be bent at each of the bent portions 20, 30, 40, and holds a state where it is adhered to the calendar 100 (a state where the calendar 100 is inclined). It is not limited to paper as long as it has a strength capable of

The double-sided adhesive tape and the adhesive are not particularly limited as long as they can bond the upper portion of the calendar 100 and the adhesive portion 15. However, when the calendar 100 and the article support 1 are made of paper, Those which do not generate harmful substances even if burned are preferable. By thus configuring the article support 1, the article support 1 to which the calendar 100 is adhered can be discarded as it is (without sorting).

The first display unit 60 and the second display unit 70 are not particularly limited as long as they can display information, and for example, information such as characters may be directly printed on the backing sheet 5 , A sticker or the like on which information is printed may be attached.

Next, the operation of the article support base 1 will be described. First, when a force is applied to push backward the article support 1 to which the calendar 100 is adhered, as shown in FIG. 4, the article support 1 spreads the first bent portion 20 and easily moves backward. Be overthrown. FIG. 4 is a schematic side view when the article support base 1 is pushed back to the rear when viewed from the direction A shown in FIG.

As shown in this figure, the third bent portion 40 is bent approximately 180 degrees, and the ground contact portion 35 and the support portion 45 are in close contact with each other (in a folded state). Then, the first bent portion 20 and the second bent portion are stretched, and the other portions 15, 25, 35 are positioned on the same plane. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the first display portion 60 formed on the back surface of the support portion 45 appears, and the user can view the information displayed there.

In addition, since the article support base 1 is formed of one member and is formed by bending each of the bending portions 20, 30, 40, it is possible to use the original from the state of being pushed down from the rear as shown in FIG. It has a restoring force that tries to return to the shape (state shown in FIG. 3). In particular, the support portion 45 and the third bending portion 40 generate a strong restoring force (repulsive force). As a result, the article support 1 can be easily returned to its original shape with only one hand from the state of being pushed backward in this manner.

As described above, the article support base 1 according to the present embodiment can be easily pushed backward, and shows the user the information displayed on the first display unit 60 only when the article support 1 is pushed backward. It can be easily restored to its original shape.

Further, the article support base 1 according to the present embodiment can be easily crushed as shown in FIG. 6 when a force is applied so as to crush it from above. FIG. 6 is a schematic side view when the article support base 1 is crushed from above when viewed from the direction A shown in FIG.

As shown in this figure, the first to third bent portions 20, 30, 40 are bent at approximately 180 degrees so that the bonding portion 15 and the foot portion 25 come into close contact (folded state) with the foot portion 25. The part of the grounding portion 35 is in close contact (folded back). Then, the third bent portion 40 is further bent, and the ground portion 35 and the support portion 45 are in close contact (folded). Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the second display unit 70 formed on the back surface of the foot 25 appears, and the information displayed there can be shown to the user.

In addition, since the article support base 1 is configured by one member and formed by bending each of the bending portions 20, 30, 40, from the state where it is crushed from the upper side as shown in FIG. It has a restoring force that tries to return to its original shape (the state shown in FIG. 3). In particular, the support portion 45 and the third bending portion 40 generate a strong restoring force (repulsive force). As a result, the article support base 1 can be easily returned to its original shape with only one hand from the state where it is crushed from above.

As described above, the article support base 1 according to the present embodiment can be easily crushed from above, and uses the information displayed on the second display unit 70 only in the state of being crushed from above. It can be shown to the person and can be easily restored to its original shape.

Furthermore, in the article support base 1 according to the present embodiment, the first bent portion 20 and the other end 50 are not in contact with each other, and a space S is formed as shown in FIG. As a result, when the article support base 1 is pushed backward or crushed from above, the other end 50 does not hit the first bent portion 20. As a result, since the third bent portion 40 can be bent smoothly, the article support 1 can be smoothly pushed backward or crushed from above.

The directions of the characters displayed on the first display unit 60 and the second display unit 70 can be recognized by the user when the display units 60 and 70 become visible to the user. It goes without saying that
Example 1

In order to verify the shape and ease of use of the article support according to the present invention, an experiment was conducted in which the length in the vertical direction (vertical width) of each part was changed. In this experiment, a paper calendar with a width of 22.5 cm, a width of 7 cm, and a weight of 70 g was used as the article, and a paper support with a width of 22.5 cm (made by Oji Materia Co., Ltd., a matte card) 22.5 260 g / m 2) was used (see Table 1 for the length of each part constituting the article support).

Here, "usability" refers to ease of pushing backward, ease of crushing from above, and ease of returning to the original shape. And as evaluation of usability, it shows that "(double-circle)" is the most stable and easy to use, and it becomes difficult to use it when becoming "(circle)" "(triangle | delta)" "x".

As can be seen from this table, it was found that when L45 is longer than L35 (Sample 7), it is somewhat difficult to use.

As shown in the sample 1, when the respective lengths L15, L25, L35, L45 of the vertical width (vertical direction) of each portion 15, 25, 35, 45 are smaller than the vertical direction of the article, L15 ≧ L25. When folded as in the article support shown in FIG. 6, when viewed from above the article, all parts constituting the article support are arranged to be hidden behind the article. . Therefore, the article support can be compactly stored.
Second Embodiment

In the first embodiment, the ratio of the distance (L15) from one end 10 to the first bending portion 20 and the distance (L45) from the third bending portion 40 to the other end 50 is 1 Although it was set to be in the range of 1: 1 to 1:20, it is preferable to configure the article support so that this ratio is in the range of 4: 6 to 1:10.

By configuring the article support in this manner, the article can be held more stably in a predetermined state.
(Embodiment 3)

In the first embodiment, the article support is configured such that the space S is formed between the first bent portion 20 and the other end 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the article support 1 </ b> A may be configured such that the first bent portion 20 and the other end 50 </ b> A abut. Specifically, for example, the article support 1A may be configured such that the distance between the third bent portion 40 and the other end 50A is longer than that of the first embodiment.

By thus configuring the article support 1A, the third bending portion 40 can not be bent smoothly as compared with the article support according to the first embodiment, but the article is more stable in a predetermined state. Can be held.
(Embodiment 4)

In the first embodiment, the direction in which the fibers constituting the backing 5 are directed is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the direction in which the fibers are directed cross the respective bending portions 20, 30, 40. It is particularly preferable to be substantially orthogonal.

Since the direction in which the fibers are directed is not parallel to the direction of each bent portion, the repulsive force (force to return to the original shape) at each bent portion is larger than in the case where it is parallel. As a result, it is possible to more easily restore the shape of the article support to the original shape.

In particular, when the article support is configured such that the direction in which the fibers are directed is substantially orthogonal to each bent portion, the repulsive force of each bent portion is maximized. As a result, the shape of the article support can be more easily returned to the original shape.
Embodiment 5

Although the third bent portion and the support portion are formed in the embodiment described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, as compared with the article support according to the first embodiment, the article support 1 </ b> B may be configured without the third bent portion and the support portion. The article support base 1B according to the present embodiment can be manufactured in the same manner as the article support base according to the first embodiment except that the third bent portion and the support portion are not provided.

In the case of the present embodiment, compared with the article support according to the first embodiment, there is no third bending portion and the support portion, so the restoring force to return to the original shape becomes smaller. The same effects as the article support stand pertaining to the present invention are exhibited. Needless to say, in the case of the present embodiment, the first display unit can not be provided.
(Other embodiments)

In the first embodiment, the first display appears when the article support is pushed backward and the second display appears when the article support is crushed from above, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not limited to.

For example, the article support may be configured such that L15 is longer than L25, and the second display unit may not appear even if the article support is crushed from above. In addition, the article support is configured such that the total length of L15, L25, and L35 is shorter than the length in the short direction of the article (calendar), and the article support is pushed backward. The display unit 1 may not appear.

Also. In the first embodiment, the first display unit and the second display unit are formed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one or both of the first display unit and the second display unit may not be formed. May be

In addition, in Embodiment 1, although the 1st display part and the 2nd display part had a rectangular shape, these shapes are not specifically limited.

Moreover, in Embodiment 1, although the rectangular plate-shaped member was used, this invention is not limited to this, The plate-shaped member of various shapes can be used.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the three bent portions are formed to be orthogonal to the vertical direction of the calendar, but the present invention is not limited to this. The three bends need not be parallel to each other, and may not be orthogonal to the vertical direction of the calendar. Even with this configuration, the same effects as the article support of Embodiment 1 can be obtained.

In the first embodiment, the surface condition of the backing sheet is not particularly limited. However, the support portion and the support member are placed on at least a part of the back surface of the ground portion (portion in contact with the surface of a desk). A member (for example, rubber or the like) having a static coefficient of friction higher than that of the member may be provided.

By configuring the article support in this manner, it is possible to prevent the article support from moving when the article is pushed backward or crushed from above.

Although Embodiment 1 uses a calendar as an article, the present invention is not limited thereto. As an article, for example, a note pad or quiz paper (for example, a problem is described on the surface, and an answer is displayed on the first display unit or the second display unit) can be mentioned. The present invention is also applicable to a lock plate (flat plate) installed in a coin parking or the like, a mattress for people or pets, and the like.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the article support is formed of one paper, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the bonding portion, the foot portion, the ground portion and the support portion may be made of different materials. And the bending part in that case can connect each part, and if it can bend, it will not be specifically limited.
