Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a book end pair used for holding books and others in an upright state on a desk or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For the purpose of holding a small amount of books, files, and other items upright on a desk or a bookshelf, a bookend pair composed of two pieces is often used because it is convenient.

The bookend pair is usually made of a metal plate such as an iron plate, and as shown in FIG. 4, a standing plate standing upright vertically, a tongue-shaped flat plate formed by punching out the central portion of the standing plate, and a tongue-shaped flat plate. A combination of two, which is composed of a flat plate extending in the opposite direction, is generally used.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in this type, the tongue-shaped flat plates of both sides are opposed to each other and placed on a desk or the like so that an object such as a book is held between the standing plates of both parties. When the amount is very small, the tongue-shaped flat plates of both sides overlap as shown in Fig. 4, so that one of the bookends is in a raised state and the engagement with the desk surface etc. is insufficient, and the object is not held. It is prone to instability, and the object is held in a state of being lifted more than necessary, resulting in a lack of stability.

In addition, there is no means for maintaining the parallel state between the two standing plates during use, and it is not only difficult to determine the parallel state between the compatible plates when holding an object, but The parallel holding state easily collapses when some external force is applied inside, and when the shape of the object is irregular, the holding state is V-shaped as shown in Fig. 4 and it tends to be unsightly. is there.

Further, since the overall shape is a T-shaped three-dimensional shape in which the standing plate and the tongue-shaped flat plate and the flat plate are positioned at a right angle, the shape of the packaging container must be special and the cost is high. In addition to being prone to problems, it is bulky during transportation and storage, and is also inconvenient to handle during storage.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has stability in holding even a small amount of an object, and can maintain the parallel state of the standing plates in a stable state while holding an appropriate amount of the object. It is intended to provide a bookend pair that is not needed.

The book end pair of the present invention is formed by bending a metal plate. The rear end of the lower flat plate portion is bent upward, and the upper end edge is positioned directly above the lower end edge of the lower flat plate portion. An installed base part, an inverted U-shaped standing plate that vertically stands up by connecting both ends to the bottom end edge of the base part, and the base part from the center of the bottom end part of the base part to the bottom surface of the base part on the same plane. In a combination of two molded bodies consisting of a flat support plate extending in the opposite direction to the part, one flat support plate is formed by two or more parallel plates with appropriate intervals, and the other The flat support plate is intended to achieve its purpose by being formed so as to have a tongue piece having a width that fits into the parallel plate.

Further, it is intended to achieve the object by forming the standing plate so that it is bent and formed at a row hole portion provided in a straight line at a base portion thereof.

[0010]

[Action]

 As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of bookends of the present invention are arranged such that their flat support plates are opposed to each other and the tongue-shaped piece of the other is positioned between the parallel plates of one pair, and then the object of a book or the like is placed between the compatible plates. If the object is held, the flat support plates will not overlap even when holding a small amount of the object, and the bottom surface of the bookend will abut against the desk surface without floating and stabilize the holding. It acts to maintain sexuality.

Further, when held as described above, the tongue-shaped piece on the other side is located between the parallel plates of the one flat support plate, and the weight of the object is further applied from above to prevent it from rising. , Both flat support plates are prevented from rotating in the left-right direction, and even if an external force is applied in this state, the parallel support plate does not lose its parallel state. Even if there is irregularity, the parallel holding state of the coexistence plate easily appears, and it maintains the state.

Further, if the standing plate is formed by bending the row hole portion provided in a straight line at the base portion thereof, even if the material is made of a metal plate such as an iron plate, it is possible to use only human hands. It is possible to easily bend and form it into a predetermined shape. As shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to form a flat plate extending in the same direction as the flat support plate without vertically forming the vertical plate in advance. There is something that makes it possible to sell.

In addition, since the upper end edge of the lower flat plate portion which is bent upward is provided right above the lower end edge of the lower flat plate portion in the base portion, the user after purchase bends the standing plate. If the upright plate is bent until it touches the upper edge of the base, it will be prevented from being bent further after it has been bent to a position perpendicular to the lower flat plate. It has the function of making it possible to bend and form the plate in the correct vertical state.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is made of a substantially rectangular iron plate having an appropriate thickness, and one of its short sides is bent to have a U-shaped cross section. The inverted U-shaped upright plate 2 is formed by punching so as to connect both ends to the lower end edge of the base part, and the inverted U-shaped standing plate 2 has the row holes 3 and 3 formed in a straight line at the base part corresponding to the connection part. The part is bent in the direction of the arrow and stands upright. The standing plate 2 may be shipped and sold as a flat plate without being formed in a standing shape in advance, and the user may bend the standing plate 2 by his / her own hand to perform standing forming. Further, the base part 1 is not limited to the U-shaped cross section, and may have any shape as long as the upper edge of the rear end of the lower flat plate portion that is bent upward is positioned immediately above the lower end edge of the lower flat plate portion. Shape, sharp-edged two-sided shape, etc.

At the center of the lower edge of the base part, a flat support plate 4 formed by punching so as to connect the root to the base part is composed of two parallel plates 4a and 4b with appropriate intervals. As described above, a pair of bookends is formed by combining two pieces formed by punching and bending a metal plate.

In the embodiment, one of the two parallel plates 4a and 4b of the flat support plate 4 is configured to also serve as a tongue piece 4c fitted between the other parallel plates. By doing so, it becomes possible to construct two pairs of articles with the same shape, which is preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost, but stick to such a configuration. However, for example, one flat support plate may be configured by two parallel plates, and the other flat support plate may be configured by only one tongue piece that fits in the center thereof. Well, one flat support plate should be composed of three or more parallel plates, and the other flat support plate should be composed of a plurality of tongue-shaped pieces that fit correspondingly. Is also optional.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 By constructing the bookend pair of the present invention according to claim 1, it is possible to obtain a reliable and stable holding state without becoming unstable even when a small amount of an object is held between the standing plates. In addition, when the amount of the target object is within the range where both flat support plates fit together, the parallel state between the compatible plates is kept stable while holding the target object, and careless external force is applied. The parallel holding state does not collapse, and the parallel state can appear regardless of the shape of the object, and since the parallel state is maintained, the aesthetic appearance of the holding state is not impaired.

Further, according to the present invention, by adopting the constitution of claim 2, even if the inverted U-shaped standing plate 2 is not preliminarily preliminarily formed in a vertical state, it is formed by the user after purchase. According to this configuration, the inverted U-shaped standing plate 2 can be sold as a flat plate extending in the same direction as the flat support plate 4 when the product is sold. Sometimes they are flattened into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, so the container used to wrap them is a generally rectangular box-shaped container, which reduces packaging costs and makes them easy to handle without being bulky during transportation, storage, or store display. It has advantages.
