BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a three-dimensional photo stand designed to give a three-dimensional effect when a general planar photograph is put in a frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of this type of three-dimensional photo frame is proposed by the present applicant in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 3-71515. This three-dimensional photo frame has a convex transparent surface bulging to the front side. A panel, a convex photographic panel disposed behind the convex transparent front panel and having a photograph formed on a panel surface bulging forward, the convex transparent front panel, and the convex photographic panel And a picture frame to be fitted and fixed.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned three-dimensional photo stand, in order to maintain the shape of the photographic panel in a desired convex shape, the photographic panel itself is processed into a convex shape or is formed in front or rear thereof. It was necessary to provide a convex holding plate and the like. When the photo panel itself is processed as described above, there are problems that the processing operation is complicated and that the once processed photo panel cannot be returned to the photo album and used again. In addition, when the holding plate is used, there is a problem that it is not possible to prepare a free curved surface according to the photographic panel and the cost is increased. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a stereoscopic picture frame for solving the problems of the conventional technology.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a first three-dimensional photo stand according to the present invention inserts a flat photographic panel in a curved shape into a photographic shape holder made of a transparent tubular sheet. The surface of the photographic panel was held in a convex shape in a state in which the photographic implement was deformed in a semi-cylindrical shape, and the photographic panel was housed in a frame having a transparent front panel attached to a window hole on the front side.

[0005] In the second stereoscopic picture frame of the present invention, mirror side plates are provided on both sides of the picture panel housed in the frame so that the peripheral portion of the picture panel is projected.

[0006]

In the first three-dimensional photo stand described above, the flat photographic panel is easily retained on the convex photographic panel simply by inserting the flat photographic panel into the photoretainer made of a transparent tubular sheet. By viewing the panel through a transparent front panel and a photo-retainer, it can be viewed as a stereoscopic photograph with a depth that cannot be obtained with a flat photograph.

In the above-described first three-dimensional photo frame, the peripheral portion of the photo panel projected on the mirror side plate expands the screen to provide a more effective three-dimensional photo.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the stereoscopic picture frame of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing a top plate portion of the stereoscopic photo stand according to the first embodiment in a broken state, and FIG. 2 is a diagram for keeping a main part of the photo stand in a convex shape. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the assembled state of FIG. 3, and FIG. 3 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the top plate portion of the stereoscopic picture stand according to the second embodiment is broken.

The stereoscopic picture frame shown in FIG. 1 is made of transparent plastic or glass on the front side of a frame 1 formed in a rectangular frame shape along a fitting step 3 formed adjacent to a window hole 2. The front panel 4 formed by the flat plate is fitted. The rear part of the front panel 4 in the picture frame 1 is covered with a photo-retainer made of a transparent tubular sheet deformed in a semicylindrical shape so as to form a desired curved convex surface on the front surface. The panel 6 is housed in a shape-retaining state. A fitting step 7 is formed on the back side of the picture frame 1.
A backing plate 8 fitted along the front side closes the opening on the back side of the picture frame 1 and presses and holds the rear part of the photographic panel 6. Although not shown, the pressing back plate 8 is removably attached to the frame 1 via a conventionally used attaching / detaching means such as a pressing claw. Further, the frame 1 or the backing plate 8 is provided with a known supporting means for allowing the photo stand to stand up in an inclined manner in the case of a tabletop or hanging it in the case of a wall mount.

Next, the shape-preserving state of the photographic panel 6 by the above-described photo-shaping tool 5 will be described with reference to FIG. The photo preserver 5 is made of a thin and flexible transparent sheet material such as cellophane or vinyl.
And is formed in an endless cylindrical shape having a width smaller than the width of the photographic panel 6 when flattened. The photograph panel 6 can be used by trimming the user's portrait as it is or appropriately, or by arbitrarily selecting a cutout from a promide or a magazine. The right and left ends of the above-mentioned photographic panel 6 are pinched and deformed into a curved shape so that the front surface 6a swells, and this is inserted through the end opening 5a of the photographic shaping tool 5, so that the difference in width between the two results in photographic shaping. The tool 5 is deformed in the shape of a kamaboko, and the inserted photographic panel 6 is maintained in a state of forming a desired curved convex surface on the front surface.

The photographic panel 6 inserted into the transparent photographic shape holder 5 and held in a convex shape as described above is viewed from the front while being accommodated in the frame 1, and the photographic panel 6 is photographed due to the perspective difference of the curved surface. There is a sense of perspective such that the peripheral portion recedes while the central portion of the device is raised to the front. Therefore, for example, if a photograph panel 6 is used in which a person is arranged in the center of a photograph and the surroundings are used as a background, the person is raised to the front and viewed as a stereoscopic photograph with a depth that cannot be obtained by a general flat plate photograph. be able to. In addition, a general flat photo panel 6
Is simply inserted into the transparent cylindrical sheet-shaped photo-shaping tool 5, the photo-panel 6 is kept in a convex shape that can be viewed as a three-dimensional photograph. The photo panel 6 is restored when the photo panel 6 is removed from the photo preserver 5, and can be returned to a photo album again. Furthermore, the curved surface of the photographic panel 6 can be changed by arbitrarily setting the width of the photographic panel 6 or the width of the photographic shape holder 5.

Next, a three-dimensional photo stand according to another embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described. In this description, to facilitate understanding, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the previous embodiment, and the detailed description of those parts will be omitted. In this three-dimensional photo stand, a photo holder 5 that is transparent to the width of the frame 1 is used.
The width of the photographic panel 6 inserted into the photographic panel 6 is reduced to, for example, about half, and mirror side plates 9 are provided on both sides of the photographic panel 6, respectively. The mirror side plate 9 is made of, for example, a mirror or a thick mount with silver paper attached to the surface thereof. The mirror side plate 9 is inclined so that the diameter increases from both ends of the photographic panel 6 toward both ends of the front panel 4. Has been established.

In the three-dimensional photo stand of this embodiment, the peripheral portion of the photographic panel 6 is projected on the mirror side plate 9, so that, for example, a person is arranged in the center of the photograph and the photographic panel 6 is used as the background. Since the person is raised to the front and the background is expanded, it can be viewed as a stereoscopic photograph having a depth and a spread that cannot be obtained by a general flat plate photograph.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As is apparent from the embodiments described above, the stereoscopic picture frame according to the present invention has the following effects. First, a flat photo panel is inserted in a curved shape into a photo-shaping tool made of a transparent tubular sheet, and the photo-shaping tool is deformed into a semi-cylindrical shape, and the photo panel is shaped into a convex shape that can be viewed as a stereoscopic photograph. Therefore, a stereoscopic photograph having a depth that cannot be obtained by a flat photograph can be easily produced and provided at a low cost. Further, since the curved surface of the photo panel can be easily changed by arbitrarily setting the width of the photo panel or the photo holding device, it is possible to select a curved surface that provides the most three-dimensional effect according to the subject. In addition, the used photo panel is restored when it is removed from the photo carrier, and can be returned to the photo album again. Furthermore, if mirror side plates are provided on both sides of the above-mentioned photo panel, the peripheral portion of the photo panel is projected on this mirror side plate, so that, for example, a person is arranged in the center of the photograph and a photo panel with its surroundings as a background is placed. When used, the person is raised to the front and the background is expanded, so that a more effective three-dimensional photograph can be obtained.
