Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a spring body, and more particularly to a spring body suitable for pressing or holding a thin plate-like piece such as a card, a piece of paper or a flexible disk at a predetermined position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of cards on which thin plates, for example, playing cards or cartoon characters are printed have been known. These cards as thin plates are generally sold in a state of being housed in a case made of a plastic material.

[0003] The conventional structure of such a case is composed of a case body having a substantially rectangular bottom wall and a side wall erected from the periphery of the bottom wall, a lid body provided to be fitted to the side wall. It consists of. When the card stored in such a case is used, the cover is removed to take out the card from the case body, and when not in use, the card is stored in the case.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned case has a structure of only a simple combination of the case body and the lid, the internal cards are taken out one by one without removing the lid from the case body. There was a problem that it was not possible.

[0005] This problem is particularly disadvantageous in the case where the cards to be stored are one as a whole and are composites having no individuality, such as playing cards, since it is not necessary to take out each card individually. If there is no card, but a different character is written on each card and the card indicates the way of reading the character, the writing order, or the idiom, etc., it can be taken out and stored one by one. Also need
In such a case, this request could not be satisfied in the conventional case.

[0006] For this reason, the inventor places the card between the bottom wall of the case body and the card stored in the case body.
A plate material as urging means is interposed, and one end of the card is made to face the outlet by the urging force of the plate material. A case has been invented (Japanese Patent Application No. 5-98781) in which the case can be inserted into an insertion opening formed in the side wall of the case body and can be stored again.

However, when a thin plate-like piece such as a business card is stored in a plastic case, and the business card can be taken out one by one from an outlet formed in the plastic case,
Since the storage capacity decreases each time a business card is used, the urging force of the plate material gradually decreases, and all the stored business cards cannot be reliably taken out to the end.

[0008]

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in order to improve such inconvenience. The purpose of the present invention is to ensure that even if the number of thin pieces to be stored is gradually reduced, the last thin piece is surely stored. It is an object of the present invention to provide a spring body which can be biased to a position where it can be taken out.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a spring body according to the present invention is provided with a casing having a predetermined outlet.
The thin plate is stored in the
A spring body for urging the body toward the outlet,
A plate-shaped substrate portion that is in surface contact with the entire upper surface of the bottom wall of the substrate, and a pressing plate portion that extends from at least one end of the substrate portion in a predetermined direction with respect to the surface direction of the substrate portion. ,
Wherein the pressing plate portion is urged in a direction away from the surface of the substrate portion, the length of the pressing plate portion is the substrate portion and substantially the same length or it than provided short, the press
The plate portion has a shape in which a surface facing the surface of the substrate portion is curved.
A state in which the tip side is always substantially in contact with the surface of the substrate portion.
It is configured to be installed in a state .

[0010]

In the present invention, the pressing plate portion is urged in a direction away from the surface of the substrate portion, and the length of the pressing plate portion is set to a predetermined length with respect to the length of the substrate portion. Therefore, it is possible to impart a large amount of deformation to the pressing plate portion, for example, a large number of thin plate-like pieces are stored in a predetermined case,
When a spring body is interposed between the lowermost thin plate and the case bottom wall, the pressing plate portion is deformable so as to make surface contact with the substrate portion, and the thin plate portion gradually decreases. In this case, the pressing plate portion is gradually deformed in a direction away from the surface of the substrate portion, and it is possible to urge the lowermost thin plate piece to a predetermined position with a spring.

As shown in FIG. 2, the case body 11 includes a bottom wall 11A and four side walls 11B standing upright from the periphery of the bottom wall 11A. The side is formed as an opening. An insertion port 16 is formed on one side wall 11B side. The slit 16A extends parallel to the slit 15A in the lateral direction of the side wall 11B,
The slit 16A is formed by a notch hole 16B formed by cutting a part of the bottom wall 11B from a substantially central portion of the slit 16A.

In the present embodiment, the card 20 as a thin piece housed in the case 10 is formed of a plastic material, and the thickness of each card is the same as that of a generally available playing card or the like. The thickness is provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the learning information is printed on one side of each card 20 by printing or the like. In the learning information, one kanji 20A is shown at the center of the upper part, and a sound reading and kun reading column 20B of the kanji 20A is provided at the lower part of the kanji 20A. Further, a writing order column 20C and a idiom column 20D are provided further below these reading columns 20B.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a spring body 25 is arranged between the card at the bottom of the card 20 and the bottom wall 11A of the case body 11. The spring body 25 is formed of a plastic material, and has a substrate portion 25A that is in surface contact with the entire upper surface of the bottom wall 11A of the case body 11, and a pressing member that is extended in a folded state from one longitudinal end of the substrate portion 25A. And a plate portion 25B. The pressing plate portion 25B has a shape in which a surface facing the surface of the substrate portion 25A is curved,
As a whole, they are provided in a kamaboko shape.

The distal end of the pressing plate portion 25B is
A is formed so as to be substantially in contact with the upper surface of A, and the pressing plate portion 25B is configured to have a length that is substantially the same as the length of the substrate portion 25A when pressed in a flat state. The card 20 is normally biased upward while maintaining a curved state as shown in FIG. 2, while being temporarily deformed into a flat state by a card insertion force described later.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

When taking out the uppermost card 20 from the case 10, as shown in FIG. 4, a fingertip is first placed on the cutout hole 13 or 15B, and in this state, the arrow B Move your fingertip in the direction. Then, the uppermost card 20 slides on the card 20 located immediately below, and one end thereof is exposed to the outside from the slit 15A.

In this state, one card 20 can be taken out of the case 10 by pinching and pulling out the exposed end of the card 20.

Since the above-mentioned learning information is described on the taken-out card 20, the kanji reading, writing order and the like can be taught in accordance with the contents of the card 20.

When the card 20 previously taken out is to be stored in the case 10, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, one end of the card 20 is inserted into the slit 16A of the case body 11, and this insertion is performed. The pressing plate portion 25B of the spring body 25 is deformed into a flat shape by the force, and is stored along the upper surface of the pressing plate portion 25B. Then, after the storage of the card 20 is completed, the pressing plate portion 25B is again deformed into a curved state, and is urged so that one end of the uppermost card 20 faces the take-out port. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the slit 16A is formed at a position higher than the end of the spring body 25, so that the end of the card 20 is inserted into the lower surface of the spring body 25. There is nothing.

Thereafter, by taking out and storing the next card 20 in the same procedure, self-study of kanji and the like can be sequentially performed.

Here, when the thin plate is a business card other than the above-mentioned card, it is not usually stored after being taken out of the case, so that the number of stored cards gradually decreases. In this embodiment, the pressing plate portion 2 of the spring body 25 is used.
Since 5B is substantially the same as the length of the substrate portion 25A and can have a large deformation allowance, a sufficient pressing force is exerted even if the storage amount of the business card as a thin plate-like piece is reduced. Thus, it is possible to make the last sheet face the outlet 15.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the outlet 15 and the insertion slot 16 for the card 20 are formed in the case 10, the cards 20 can be taken out one by one and the card 20 can be inserted into the insertion slot. There is an effect that the case 16 can be stored in the case 10 without difficulty. According to this effect, the card 20 can be taken out and stored one by one, so that it is possible to effectively avoid losing the card 20.

Also, since the spring body 25 is disposed in the case 10 and the spring body 25 constantly urges the card 20 so as to face the exit 15 side, the uppermost card 20 is immediately inserted from the slit 15A. Since it can be set at a position where it can be taken out, the taking out operation can be performed very easily. At this time, if the fingertip is applied to the notch hole 13 formed in the center portion of the top wall 12A of the lid 12 and the fingertip is moved in the direction of arrow B while applying a pushing force to the case body 11 side, the card 20 is taken out. Can be performed more easily.

Further, since the learning information as described above is described on the card 20, it is possible to acquire necessary knowledge about each kanji in accordance with the description, and to surely improve the educational effect. It becomes possible. Take out all the cards 20 from the case 10 as necessary,
The card 20 can also be used in a manner similar to the well-known carta play, in which case the child's interest can be further attracted and the child can study while playing.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the notch 13 is formed in the center of the top wall 12A of the lid 12 is illustrated and described. However, the same action can be achieved without forming the notch 13. be able to. In addition, this notch hole 13
Can be formed continuously with the cutout hole 15B connected to the slit 15A.

Further, the spring body 25 is not limited to the structure of the embodiment, and various design changes are possible as long as a constant urging force can be exerted. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the pressing plate portion 25B does not have a curved shape, but extends in an acute angle direction from one end side of the substrate portion 25A, and a fixed region on the tip side from the middle thereof is substantially the same as the substrate portion 25A. A configuration provided in parallel can also be adopted.

Further, as shown in FIG.
A configuration is also adopted in which a support portion 25C is integrally formed to protrude from the end of the substrate portion 25A on the side opposite to the extension of 5B, and the tip of the support portion 25C can support the pressing plate portion 25B in a reinforcing manner. can do. In this case, with respect to the pressing plate portion 25B, the pressing plate portion 25B
When a flat deforming force is applied so as to be superimposed on the surface of 5A, the support portion 25C is bent so as to be superimposed on the upper surface of the substrate portion 25A, while the flat deforming force is released. When it is turned on, it is formed to return to the position shown in FIG.

In the present invention, the thin plate-like pieces include:
Not limited to the card 20 and the business card described above, for example, the flexible disk 30 shown in FIG.
Even if it is 0, it can be targeted.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of flexible disks 30 are accommodated in a case 31 in which one corner is cut out in an L-shape to form an outlet 32, and the lowermost flexible disk 30 is accommodated. Lower surface side of 30 and case 3
The spring body 25 described above is interposed between the spring body 25 and the bottom wall.

In this embodiment as well, the uppermost flexible disk 30 is always spring-biased so as to face the outlet 32, so that it is possible to take out one sheet at a time. The flexible disk 30 can be pressed to a position facing the outlet 32.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the spring body 25 according to the present invention is applied to a binder. That is, a plate-like board 41 constituting a binder
A part of the substrate portion 25A of the spring body 25 is fixed to one end of the spring member 25, and a pressing plate portion 25B extended from the substrate portion 25A is provided so as to press the surface of the board 41. A paper 40 such as a manuscript paper or a memo paper is sandwiched between the board 41 and the pressing plate portion 25B. The paper 40 is moved in the directions of arrows a and b in FIG. Can be attached and detached.

In such an embodiment, the paper 40 is attached to the board 41 without requiring any operation to open the spring portion with a finger, as seen in a normal binder.
Is moved in the direction of arrow a along the surface of
Can be pinched between the spring body 25 and the board 41, while pulling in the direction of the arrow b has the effect that the paper 40 can be extracted. At this time, since the pressing plate portion 25B of the spring body 25 has a curved outer shape, the movement of the paper 40 in the a and b directions can be performed extremely smoothly.

In the above embodiment, the pressing plate 25
B illustrates and illustrates the spring body 25 in which B extends from one end of the substrate portion 25A, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pressing plate portion 25B may be provided with two pressing plate portions extending from both ends of the substrate portion 25A to form a spring body in which these pressing plate portions are symmetrically arranged. . In this case, the pressing plate portion comes into contact with the card 20 at two positions and urges the spring, whereby the upward urging force of the card 20 can be dispersed substantially evenly. The effect of being able to be stored horizontally can be further added. At this time, it is conceivable that one of the pressing plate portions has a U-shape and the other pressing plate portion has a shape to be accommodated in the U-shape.

The card 20 in the above embodiment is
In addition to kanji learning information, English words or English idioms may be described, and English learning information indicating a short sentence to which these are applied may be similarly employed. In short, the present invention can be applied to a card in which various learning information is described. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the learning information is described only on one side is illustrated and described. However, it is not a problem if one side shows only one large Chinese character and the back side shows the reading and writing order. . In this case, since the answer and the like are not shown in appearance, the educational effect is expected to be more effective.
