Description

  The present invention relates to a frame for postcard display.

  Conventionally, a photo frame for decorating with a picture and a picture frame for decorating with a picture have been widely known, but it has not been done so much with a postcard on the picture frame. In response to this, there was a demand to change the set of postcards according to the season and mood and decorate them instead of fresh flowers.

  In particular, for those who live in temporary housing in the disaster area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the flowers and flowers that they loved during the walk and the trees that were raised in the garden were lost in an instant. If you can appreciate the flowers and the postcards that you are familiar with, it is expected that you will support your heart.

  However, when storing a postcard in a conventional photo frame or frame, it is necessary to remove the back cover, insert the desired postcard, and then close the back cover again, especially for elderly people. There is a problem. It is also necessary to store the remaining postcards in a set in another location, but you may forget where they were stored over time.

  On the other hand, in Patent Literature 1, an album and a frame are provided by providing a mount storage portion corresponding to a conventional frame on the surface of a lid of a housing with a lid that can store a plurality of mounts with photographs attached thereto. Are integrated.

  However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, when replacing a photo, it is necessary to take out the photo stored in the cover-equipped housing and replace it with the photo stored in the mount storage unit. Further, when taking out the posted photo, the upper end of the photo must be picked out from the gap of the guide frame, but it is particularly difficult for the elderly, and there is a problem from the viewpoint of barrier-free.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and has both the functions of storing and displaying postcard sets, and can be exchanged very easily. Those who live in a narrow space such as a temporary house. The purpose is to provide a picture frame suitable for use.

  The frame for postcard posting of the present invention is a frame for postcard posting, and has a frame corresponding to two sides on the left and right sides and a lower side, but there is no frame corresponding to the upper side, and there are a plurality of frames in the frame. In order to hold both ends of the postcard, it has a holding portion and a back plate extending in the vertical direction, and it is possible to insert a stacked postcard along the holding portion and the back plate from above the frame. It is characterized by.

  According to the present invention, since the ends of a plurality of postcards are held by the holding portion and the back plate, the frame itself also serves as a storage place for the postcards, and it is not necessary to provide a separate storage place, which is particularly narrow. Effective for temporary housing. In addition, since there is no frame corresponding to the upper side, even elderly people who have difficulty in fine work can easily remove it by placing their fingers on the surface of the postcard and raising it upwards, with one hand and one touch. You can extract postcards. If postcards that are no longer needed after the season are extracted and inserted along the back plate at the backmost side of multiple postcards contained in the frame, they will reappear on the front side one year later. , Memories will never be lost.

  The frame corresponding to the two left and right sides of the frame protrudes upward from the upper end of the postcard and the back plate held by the holding portion in the frame, and protrudes downward from the frame corresponding to the lower side. It is preferable because of its excellent design.

  Alternatively, the upper end of the frame corresponding to the two left and right sides of the frame is substantially the same position as the upper end of the postcard held by the holding portion within the frame and protrudes downward from the frame corresponding to the lower side. It is preferable because of its excellent design.

  According to the present invention, both functions of storing and displaying picture postcard sets can be provided and exchanged can be performed very easily, and a frame suitable for use by people living in a narrow space such as a temporary house can be provided.

It is a perspective view of the frame 10 of this invention, and shows the state before inserting a postcard set. It is a perspective view of the frame 10 of the state which inserted the postcard set. It is the figure which looked at the upper end of the frame 10 in the insertion direction of a postcard set.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a frame 10 for posting a postcard of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the frame 10. FIG. 3 is a view of the upper end of the frame 10 as viewed in the insertion direction of the postcard set. In the figure, the frame 10 includes a wooden or resin frame 11 and a back plate 12 attached to the back side of the frame 11. Since the back plate 12 has a support portion (not shown) protruding from the back surface, the frame 10 can be self-supported by being supported by the support portion in an assembled state.

  The frame 11 is formed by combining square members in a U shape (may be integrated), and includes two parallel side frame members (frames corresponding to two sides on the left and right sides) 11a and 11b and the lower ends of the side frame members 11a and 11b. It consists of a lower frame material (frame corresponding to the lower side) 11c to be connected, but the upper part is open. The side frame members 11a and 11b are respectively lowered to one side of the convex portions (holding portions) 11d and 11e extending along the upper and lower sides and separated from each other on the inner sides facing each other. Steps 11f and 11g are provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the interval W1 between the convex portions 11d and 11e is narrower than the horizontal width of the postcard set PCS that can be accommodated, and the interval W2 between the step portions 11f and 11g is substantially equal to the horizontal width of the postcard set PCS that can be accommodated. On the other hand, the interval T between the back plate 12 and the convex portions 11d and 11e is equal to the maximum thickness of the picture card set PCS that can be accommodated. Accordingly, the postcard set PCS aligned along the back plate 12 and the convex portions 11d and 11e can be inserted at a time from above the frame 10, and the lower end of the inserted postcard set PCS hits the upper surface of the lower frame member 11c. Locked in contact. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, both ends of the inserted picture postcard set PCS are held by the back plate 12 and the convex portions 11d and 11e. The surface of the postcard set PCS is exposed on the front side of the frame 10. In such a state, it is possible to appreciate the postcard located on the most surface side.

  On the other hand, in a state where the postcard set PCS is inserted, the upper end of the postcard set PCS becomes equal to the position of the upper end of the back plate 12, and thereby the back plate 12 is completely hidden. Further, the upper end of the picture card set PCS (that is, the upper end of the back cover 12) is lower than the upper ends of the side frame members 11a and 11b by a distance Δ1. Further, the lower surface of the lower frame member 11c is higher than the lower ends of the side frame members 11a and 11b by a distance Δ2. It is preferable that Δ1 = Δ2. This gives a balanced design. A groove 11h having a circular arc cross section is formed along the front inner edges of the side frame members 11a and 11b and the lower frame member 11c. The lower end of the back plate 12 may be at the same position as the lower ends of the side frame members 11a and 11b, or may be at the same position as the lower surface of the lower frame member 11c. In order to reduce the production cost, it is preferable to simplify the surface treatment of the back plate 12 and to leave its end cut off. However, by making the back plate 12 the same height as the inserted postcard set PCS, Neither the edge nor the edge is visible from the front, which is preferable in terms of aesthetics. Furthermore, when you want to add a background with the desired color to the surface of the back plate 12, since there is no upper frame, if it is thin paper, it will hang down with time. It should be higher than 12.

  The frame 10 of the present invention does not have a cover plate such as transparent glass on the entire surface, but both ends of the picture card set PCS inserted into the frame 10 are held by the back plate 12 and the convex portions 11d and 11e. So postcards don't fall inadvertently, and you don't have to worry about the storage location for postcards you don't post. Moreover, since there is no cover plate such as transparent glass on the entire surface, one of the most postcard set PCS can be touched with a finger, and there is no frame corresponding to the upper side. So even elderly people can easily take out postcards.

  If one of the postcard sets PCS on the most surface side is extracted along the convex portions 11d and 11e and inserted on the most back side, the postcard that comes next to the most front side can be appreciated. This can be done by the user at each season change.

  As a modified example of the present invention, there is one in which the upper end of the postcard set PCS inserted in the frame is substantially equal to the position of the upper end of the side frame members 11a and 11b. Alternatively, the upper end of the postcard set PCS inserted into the frame may protrude upward from the position of the upper end of the side frame members 11a and 11b. In the latter example, the user can easily pick up the upper end of the postcard set PCS protruding from the frame, so that the postcard set PCS can be easily replaced. The rest is the same as the frame shown in FIGS.
