Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial application field) The present invention is suitable for newspaper delivery by motorcycle, bicycle, etc., and in particular, a newspaper delivery frame in which it is extremely easy to extract newspapers while riding on a motorcycle. About.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in newspaper delivery using a bicycle, a motorbike, a motorcycle, or the like, a four-folded newspaper is fixed to a bed, and on the other hand, the four-folded newspaper is placed so as to be easily delivered individually. Further, a folded newspaper is prepared, and the folded newspaper bundle is placed on a quarter-fold newspaper on the carrier, or separately, a folded newspaper bundle is placed. There has been adopted a method of storing the product in a basket attached to the front part of the handle and individually delivering the product from the bundle. However, according to these conventional delivery methods, it is necessary to take out the quarter-folded newspaper placed on the carrier and to arrange the newspaper into a shape that can be easily delivered individually, and there is a disadvantage that it takes time and effort to arrange the newspaper. .

Further, in order to deliver newspapers in this manner, it is necessary to firmly tie the newspapers on the carrier with rubber cords or the like so as not to collapse. For this reason, it is difficult to remove the newspaper fixed on the bed, and as the number of newspapers decreases, the rubber straps and the like must be frequently re-tightened, which hinders quick newspaper delivery. Had become. In addition, during transportation, the cargo may collapse, particularly at a curve, and the newspaper may fall off.

Furthermore, when delivering around 300 newspapers, the bundle of newspapers weighs an average of 20 kg or more, and the work of loading the newspapers sometimes hurt their backs.

In view of this, the present applicant has previously proposed a newspaper loading frame that does not require the work of tightening the rubber strap (see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open Nos. 62-38542 and 62-93335).

In these newspaper loading frames, pillars are erected at positions surrounding the four corners of a four-fold newspaper, and a reinforcing frame material is erected on the upper end of the erected pillar, and on a loading platform surrounded by the pillars. Place the newspaper. Then, the newspapers are partially or collectively taken out from the bed or between the pillars surrounding the newspapers.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in order to stack newspapers in a well-balanced manner, the folded portion (hereinafter, referred to as an ear) of a four-folded newspaper becomes higher than other portions, so that this ear is one piece. It is necessary to load a plurality of copies alternately so that they do not overlap each other. Then, when taking out the newspaper from the loading platform, especially when the newspaper is running low or when the ear is facing backwards, the reinforcing frame material and the front column installed at the upper end of the column will interfere, In particular, it has been difficult to extract newspapers from the upper part of the bed while riding a motorcycle.

Also, since the upper part of the newspaper loading frame is open, in order to increase the strength of the frame, the frame material itself must be thick and strong, and as a result, the weight of the newspaper loading frame itself is reduced. There was an inconvenience of being bulky.

In addition, newspapers are partly or collectively taken out from the bed or between the pillars surrounding the newspapers.However, in order to load newspapers, the newspapers must be loaded from the top of the opening. It took a lot of time to load the goods.

Furthermore, if the motorcycle falls, the newspaper may fly out of the upper opening,
If you put a rain cover over this frame newspaper loading frame,
There were also drawbacks such as rainwater accumulating in the upper opening and the sheet gradually loosening.

Therefore, the present invention has been created to solve the above-mentioned inconveniences. A newspaper delivery frame is formed lightly and robustly, the work of loading the newspaper is easy, and the newspaper pops out from the upper portion of the frame. When extracting the newspaper from the upper part of the frame, the frame itself does not hinder the extraction work, the newspaper can be delivered individually in a folded state, and the newspaper inside the frame, An object of the present invention is to provide a newspaper delivery frame that enables extremely quick newspaper delivery without any reloading work.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention provides a vertical frame 1 and a horizontal frame 2 surrounding four corners of a quadruple-shaped newspaper R stacked in a plurality. And a frame having four corners at intervals so that the uppermost newspaper can be removed, and a substantially L-shaped slide for urging the uppermost newspaper R stacked in the frame downward. The slide weight 4 is provided with a pressing portion 4A abutting on the upper surface of the newspaper R, and is bent and extended vertically downward from the pressing portion 4A, and slides the slide weight 4 itself to an appropriate position of the frame. It is a means for solving the problem that it comprises a slide portion 4B that is movably supported.

(Operation) According to the present invention, the vertical frame 1 and the horizontal frame 2 surround the newspaper R such that the four corners of the folded quadrant newspaper R are exposed.

Then, the uppermost newspaper of the stacked four-fold newspaper R is extracted from the space between the adjacent four corners of the vertical frame 1 and the horizontal frame 2.

A four-fold newspaper R surrounded by a vertical frame 1 and a horizontal frame 2
Is urged downward by the slide weight 4.

The approximately L-shaped slide weight 4 has a substantially horizontal pressing portion 4A abutting on the upper surface of the newspaper R, and a sliding portion 4B bent vertically from the pressing portion 4A to extend vertically downwardly forms the slide weight 4 itself as a frame. It is slidably supported at an appropriate position.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The main configuration of the present invention includes a vertical frame 1 and a horizontal frame 2 surrounding the newspaper R in a predetermined number of layers and being folded in four, and pressing the uppermost surface of the newspaper R surrounded by these frames downward. And a sliding weight 4 that moves.

The vertical frame 1 surrounds the newspaper R in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal side edge of the folded newspaper R, and the horizontal frame 2 surrounds the newspaper R in a direction orthogonal to the short side edge of the newspaper R. In the example shown,
The two longitudinal edges of the newspaper R are surrounded by two pairs of vertical frames 1, and the short lateral edges are surrounded by a pair of horizontal frames 2. The vertical frame 1 and the horizontal frame 2 are connected and reinforced by a reinforcing frame 3 (see FIG. 1). In this case, the frame is made of a pipe material, but may be made of a steel round bar, an aluminum square material, or the like.

The slide weight 4 is slidably supported by the insertion hole 5A of the support rod 5, and is provided so as to slide vertically downward from the insertion hole 5A by the load of the support rod 5 itself (see FIG. 2). The slide weight 4 is formed by bending a rod into a substantially L-shape, and includes a pressing portion 4A for pressing the upper surface of the newspaper R, and a sliding portion 4B for passing through the insertion hole 5A of the support rod 5. Although the support rod 5 in the illustrated example is fixed to the vertical frame 1, it may be fixed to the horizontal frame 2. A stopper (not shown) having a substantially L-shape or a substantially U-shape is provided on the opposite side of the slide weight 4.
The stopper may be slidable or fixed to hold the side edge of the newspaper R.
