Description

  The present invention relates to a desktop card stand for placing cards such as a photo card and a desktop calendar on a desk or a display shelf at an easy-to-see angle.

In general, this type of card stand is provided to the user after being stored and transported in a distribution mechanism or the like. However, the assembly of the legs for making the card self-supported is mostly performed by the user's hand. It is essential that anyone can easily do this work.
Recently, attention has been paid to environmental problems, and it is considered preferable to be able to be disposed of easily when it is no longer needed, and there is an increasing tendency to use paper and cardboard materials.
Conventional examples of the environment-friendly, easy-to-manufacture and low-cost examples include “card-type desk calendar holder” (Patent Document 1) and “desk calendar” (Patent Document 2).

  In the proposal of Patent Document 1, a card storage unit and a partition unit are formed by folding and assembling a single component made of cardboard, and the component of the holder is placed on the outside of the quadrilateral frame. A pair of side portions and a back plate portion, and a pair of side portions and a partition plate portion, which are opposed to each other, are continuously provided, and the folded back plate portions are opposed to each other so as to face each other and folded. The partition plate portions are locked together so as to form a substantially triangular prism-like space between the card storage portions and are made independent.

  In the proposal of Patent Document 2, a support for supporting the calendar in a backward-tilted state is continuously provided on the front plate provided with the window and the periphery thereof through a shape-retaining piece having a width corresponding to the thickness of the calendar. The shape-retaining plate, the upper back plate, and the lower back plate are arranged, and in the assembled state, the shape retaining plate supports the rear surface of the calendar relative to the front plate, and the upper back plate and the lower back plate are It opens to the back side, and the upper back plate and the lower back plate are detachably locked to each other so that they can stand independently in a rearward tilted state.

In either case of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, since it is configured by a single sheet made of paper or cardboard, disposal of unnecessary items is easy, environmentally friendly, and low in cost. There is no problem with respect to points.
However, in the case of Patent Document 1, there is an inconvenience that no one can quickly and easily perform a shift from an expanded state or a folded state convenient for storage and transportation to an assembly state during use and vice versa. is there.
Moreover, in the folded state during storage or transportation, the partition plates are not locked to each other, and the upper back plate and the lower back plate are not locked. Therefore, the user who has received it from the distribution mechanism or the like has to perform a locking operation to make the card self-supporting.

In the case of Patent Document 2, in the assembled state, a locking piece formed so as to protrude to the upper side of the lower back plate corresponding to the horizontally long locking hole provided in the upper back plate is locked. The upper back plate and the lower back plate are engaged with each other. The locking hole is provided with a step that can semi-fix only the narrow neck of the locking piece. After inserting the locking piece into the locking hole, the neck is fitted into the step. , Lock together.
In addition, the upper back plate provided with the locking holes has a pressing piece formed by cutting with slits inserted continuously at both ends of the locking hole. The inserted locking piece is elastically contacted to maintain the locked state.
This pressing piece has a certain length in the vertical direction, and when inserting the locking piece, it is curved toward the shape retaining plate so that the locking piece itself can be easily inserted. In order to allow the upper back plate and the lower back plate to be overlapped with the pressing piece overlapped on the shape-retaining plate side and the locking piece being directed outward, the vertical slit portions on both sides of the pressing piece Is lengthened. Therefore, although it is convenient to bring the upper back plate and the lower back plate into an engaged state, it is difficult to take an appropriate posture of the pressing piece at the time of assembly because the vertical slit is lengthened. In particular, immediately after the leg assembly, it is necessary to check whether the tip of the pressing piece is in a normal position as well as the engagement state of the upper back plate and the lower back plate. I feel instability in the combination of the screen legs when I put it on the table.

However, these calendars and holders are often provided for advertisements and services for customers. Recently, the appearance, ease of operation when being independent, stability after assembly, etc. It has been attracting attention that the reputation of the company greatly affects the effect of providing goods.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem structurally, even in the case of Patent Document 2, a slit having a short length that is a half of the length required for the vertical slit is formed on the upper back plate and the lower back plate. It is necessary to disperse and provide the corresponding portions to suppress the strength reduction of the screen legs, or to strengthen the connecting portion of the upper back plate and the lower back plate by some method.

Is a desk card stand characterized by being provided near the center of either the left or right end.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.
(1) A rear portion that is disposed at a portion that continues to the left or right of the front portion and that folds back to support the rear surface of the cards, and a partition that is at a portion that continues to the upper side of the front portion and that folds back and becomes a part of the leg. And a part that continues to the lower side of the front part, folds back to become another part of the leg, and includes a self-supporting holding part that engages with and holds the posture of the leg part. A slit and a second slit cut out from the first slit toward the front side, starting from a part of the first slit. The third slit and a part of the third slit are provided in the self-supporting holding part. It has the 4th slit excised toward the front part side as a starting point, and in the folded state of the leg (hereinafter referred to as the folded state), the second slit and the fourth slit are partially overlapped with each other, In the assembled state of the legs (hereinafter referred to as the assembled state) Since the tip and the third slit are in contact with each other with the slit 1 fitted, the transition from the unfolded state to the folded state is easy, and it is assembled from the folded state that must be done before the user can use it. There is an effect that the operation of shifting to the state can be performed with one touch.
(2) The second slit is a slit that is branched from a position slightly returned from the tip of the first slit and cut in an oblique direction at an obtuse angle, and the fourth slit is the tip of the third slit. Since the slit is branched from a position slightly returned from and cut in an oblique direction at an obtuse angle, the above-described effect can be realized specifically and reliably.
(3) The one-touch operation can be further facilitated by providing the partition part with a protruding part that is picked and raised when changing from the folded state to the assembled state.

  The tabletop card stand of the present invention has a purpose of being assembled in a one-touch from a folded state, with a front part, a back part, a screen part including a first slit and a second slit, a third slit and a fourth slit. It comprises a self-supporting holding part provided with a slit. In the folded state, the second slit and the fourth slit partially overlap each other in the fitted state, and in the assembled state, the first slit and the third slit fit each other. This is achieved by allowing the tips to touch each other in the combined state.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and the like.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a developed example 1 of a desktop card stand according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the desktop card stand of FIG. 1 is folded, the front portion is vertical, and viewed from the back side.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the desktop card stand of FIG. 1 is assembled and placed on the desktop or the like as viewed from the back side.

As shown in the developed view of FIG. 1, the front portion 1 is rectangular, and a display window 1a is provided so that the display surface of cards to be inserted can be seen.
In Example 1, the front part 1 is in a horizontally long state, the left side of the rectangle is extended, and continuously through the side part 2s having a width corresponding to the thickness of the cards to be stored, A substantially rectangular back surface 2 is provided.
In the folded state and the assembled state, the back surface portion 2 is mountain-folded at the left and right folds 2f and 2f of the side surface portion 2s to cover most of the rear surface of the storage space.
In consideration of the convenience of inserting and removing cards, the back surface 2 is provided with portions 2a and 2b that are notched and recessed so that the fingertip can be easily touched from the back surface.

The partition part 3 is substantially trapezoidal, and is formed such that the upper side of the front part 1 extends and the bottom of the trapezoid is in contact with the side part 3s continuously through the side part 3s. ing.
In the assembled state, the partition 3 is mountain-folded at the upper and lower folds 3f and 3f of the side surface 3s and becomes a main part of the leg.
The partition 3 is provided with a first slit N1 and a second slit N2 continuous thereto.
In the case of the present embodiment, a protruding portion 3 c is provided near the center of one of the left and right sides of the partition 3. The protruding portion 3c is provided so that it is convenient to pick up the card stand with a fingertip and cause the partition portion 3 with one touch when the card stand is changed from the folded state to the assembled state.

The first slit N1 has, as a first starting point 3a, a position that is slightly closer to the front surface 1 side from the upper base side of one of the left and right sides of the trapezoidal portion 3 (left side in this embodiment). The first starting point 3a is cut out to a predetermined length with a narrow width parallel to the lateral side of the front portion 1.
The second slit N2 has a narrow width in an oblique direction with an obtuse angle from the second starting point 3b to the first slit N1, with the second starting point 3b being a point slightly returned from the tip of the first slit N1. It is excised by predetermined length.

The self-supporting holding part 4 is a shape in which a part near one side of the upper side of the trapezoidal shape is cut out, extends the lower side of the front part 1 and continues to the position following the side part 4s. The lower base of the trapezoid is formed so as to contact the side surface portion 4s.
The above-mentioned notch portion is provided when inserting the portion of the self-supporting holding portion 4 near the upper base of the trapezoid into the first slit N1 of the partitioning portion 3 when the card stand is folded from the unfolded state. To make it easier.

In the assembled state, the self-supporting holding part 4 is mountain-folded at the upper and lower folds 4f and 4f of the side face part 4s to regulate the posture of the partition part 3, and holds the posture.
The self-supporting holding part 4 is provided with a third slit N3 and a fourth slit N4 continuous thereto.
The third slit N3 is excised from the third starting point 4a according to the first slit N1, and the fourth slit N4 is excised from the fourth starting point 4b according to the second slit N2. .

The lengths of the first slit N1 and the third slit N3 are determined so that the most advanced positions of the slits are in contact with each other in the assembled state.
In the folded state, the second slit N2 and the fourth slit N4 remain in the fitted state and partially overlap in parallel, and the contact surface of the card stand is shifted from the folded state to the assembled state. Inclination and length are determined so that can slide.

The reason why the position of the second starting point 3b is shifted from the tip of the first slit N1 and the position of the fourth starting point 4b is shifted from the tip of the third slit N3 is as follows.
In order to shift from the state in which the first slit N1 and the third slit N3 are in contact at the tips to the state in which the second slit N2 and the fourth slit N4 overlap, the first slit N1 and the third slit N3 The front ends of the three slits N3 are separated from each other, and an external force must be applied until the second starting point 3b and the fourth starting point 4b are substantially in the same position. Therefore, as long as there is no such external force, the assembly state at the time of self-supporting can be maintained stably.

4 and 5 are perspective views showing the progress of the card stand according to the first embodiment from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG.
FIG. 4 shows the unfolded sheet shown in FIG. 1 as a mountain fold at each fold 2f, 2f, 3f, 3f, 4f, 4f, and the back part 2 turned upside down on the back of the front part 1 The state of facing each other is shown.
FIG. 5 shows a state in which the trapezoidal upper end 4c of the self-supporting holding part 4 is inserted into the slit N1 of the partition part 3 from the state of FIG. Yes.

  When transitioning from the unfolded state of FIG. 1 to the folded state of FIG. 2, the state of the upper bottom side from the trapezoidal slit N <b> 3 of the self-supporting holding portion 4 is passed through the states of FIGS. 4 and 5. After passing through the slit N1, the inclined inner sides of the slit N2 and the slit N4 may be slid. By doing so, the partition part 3 and the self-supporting holding part 4 are simultaneously parallel to the front part 1, and the card stand is folded as shown in FIG.

In the case of shifting from the folded state of FIG. 2 to the assembled state shown in FIG. 3, the second slit N2 and the fourth slit can be formed by pulling the protruding part 3b with a finger and causing the partition part 3 to move away from the front part 1. The contact surface of the slit N4 slides, and the first slit N1 and the third slit N3 are in a straight line, and the tips of the card stand approach and fit with each other due to the elasticity of the card stand material. Therefore, the raised posture of the partition part 3 is regulated by the self-supporting holding part 4, and the state is maintained.
In addition to the posture in which the upper bottom of the trapezoid of the screen part 3 is turned down as shown in FIG. It can also stand on its bottom. In this case, the inclination of the front portion 1 is usually different from that in FIG. Therefore, two display methods with different inclinations can be selected with one card stand.

  To change from the assembled state of FIG. 3 to the folded state of FIG. 2, place the front part 1 downward, and place the screen part 3 and the self-supporting holding part 4 in the vicinity of the separated parts of the upper base of each trapezoid. The partition part 3 and the self-supporting holding part 4 may be pushed downward while picking and pulling apart the contact portions at the tips of the first slit N1 and the second slit N3.

As shown in the development view of FIG. 6, the front portion 11 is provided with a display window 11a as in the first embodiment of FIG.
In the second embodiment, the rectangular front portion 11 is in a vertically long state, and the left side of the front portion 11 is extended to form the back portion 12 via the side surface 12s, as in the first embodiment of FIG.
In the folded state and the assembled state, the back surface portion 12 is fold-folded at the folds 12f and 12f, and forms a storage space for cards, facing the front surface portion 1.
The recessed portion 12a is designed to make it easier for the fingertips to touch when inserting and removing cards.

Similarly to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the partition 13 extends from the upper side of the front portion 11 and is provided outside the side surface 13s.
In the assembled state, the partition 13 is mountain-folded at the positions of the folds 13f and 13f at the upper and lower ends of the side surface 13s and becomes the main part of the leg.
The partition portion 13 is provided with a first slit N11 and a second slit N12 continuous thereto.
Since the first slit N11 corresponds to N1 in FIG. 1 and the second slit N12 corresponds to N2 in FIG. 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

As in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the self-supporting holding portion 14 is formed on the outer side through the side portion 14s by extending the front portion 11 downward.
In the assembled state, the self-supporting holding part 14 is mountain-folded by the upper and lower folds 14f and 14f of the side face part 14s to regulate the posture of the partitioning part 13, and holds the posture.
The partition portion 14 is provided with a third slit N13 and a fourth slit N14 continuous thereto.
The third slit N13 corresponds to N3 in FIG. 1, and the fourth slit N14 corresponds to N4 in FIG.

  When changing from the unfolded state of FIG. 6 to the folded state of FIG. 7, the state outside the trapezoidal slit N <b> 13 of the self-supporting holding part 14 is changed to the slit of the partition part 13 through the state according to FIGS. After passing through N11, sliding may be performed while the slit N12 and the slit N14 are fitted to each other. By doing so, the partition portion 13 and the self-supporting holding portion 14 are simultaneously parallel to the front portion 11, and the card stand is folded as shown in FIG.

In the case of shifting from the folded state of FIG. 7 to the assembled state shown in FIG. 8, the second slit N12 and the fourth slit N12 can be formed by pulling the protruding part 13b with a finger and causing the partition part 13 to move away from the front part 11. The contact surface of the slit N14 slides so that the first slit N11 and the third slit N13 are in a straight line, and the tips of the fitted slits come into contact with each other, and the posture of the raised partition 13 is independent. The state is regulated by the holding unit 14 and held.
In addition to the one shown in FIG. 8, the card stand according to the second embodiment can be made independent even when the front part 11 is rotated by 90 degrees and the trapezoidal top of the screen part 13 is turned down. Accordingly, two different display methods can be selected by changing the longitudinal direction to vertical and horizontal with one card stand.
