Registered Utility Model No. 3059757

By the way, albums are not only used for storing photographs for storage, but in recent years, albums are sometimes used for presenting photographed photographs. However, at present, no album suitable for present has been proposed, and an album that can be handed over easily has been demanded.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an album suitable for presents.

  An album according to the present invention is arranged on a base, a frame part disposed on the base and having a through hole, and a part between the base and the frame part. And a lid member that is detachably fitted into the through hole.

  According to this configuration, since a gap is formed between the base and the frame portion, the edge of the sheet-like object can be held by this gap. Thereby, the hold | maintained to-be-held object can be seen through a through-hole. And since the through hole can be closed by the lid member, if the person who received this album as a present removes the lid member, the object to be held will enter the eyes, improving the presentation effect as a present can do. The object to be held can be a document in which characters, illustrations, etc. are written in addition to photographs.

  In the above album, a portion where the spacer is not provided between the base and the frame portion can be configured as an opening for inserting an object to be held. Thereby, a to-be-held object can be attached easily.

  The frame part and the lid member can be formed of various materials. For example, if it is made of an elastic material, it can be attached by pushing the lid member into the through-hole of the frame part using the elastic force. Further, if the thickness of the spacer is reduced, the object to be held can be sandwiched between the base and the frame portion, and the object to be held can be held so as not to fall off by the elastic force. As such an elastic material, for example, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) resin can be used.

  In the above album, the surface of the lid member can be decorated. By doing so, the decoration effect of the album is enhanced and the value as a present can be improved.

  The album according to the present invention is suitable as a present and can improve the effect for present.

It is a front view of the album which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the outline of the state which opened the cover of the album of FIG. It is a perspective view when a cover member is removed in FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 3. It is a top view which shows the other example of the album of FIG. It is a figure which shows the other example of a cover.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an album according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of an album according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a state in which the cover of the album of FIG. 1 is opened, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view when a cover member is removed in FIG. 4 and 4 are sectional views taken along line AA in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this album includes a sheet-like base 1 and a sheet-like cover 2 connected thereto, and a photo holding unit 3 that holds a photograph is provided on the base 1. ing. The base 1 and the cover 2 are both formed in a rectangular shape, and their one ends are connected to each other to constitute the “back” 11 of the album. Thus, when the cover 2 is opened, the photo holding unit 3 appears. The base 1 and the cover 2 can be formed of paper, a plastic sheet, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the photo holding unit 3 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole so as to substantially coincide with the outer edge of the base 1, and includes a frame unit 31 that holds a photo. A rectangular through hole 311 is formed at the center of the frame portion 31, and a lid member 32 whose surface is decorated is detachably fitted into the through hole 311. Further, the wall surface of the through hole 311 is formed with one notch 312 for inserting a finger, and the lid member 32 can be removed from the frame portion 31 by inserting the finger into the notch 312. it can. Further, the frame portion 31 is fixed on the base 1 via a spacer 33. The spacer 33 is formed in a U shape extending along the “heaven”, “back”, and “ground” of the album (see the dotted line in FIG. 2), and is narrower than the frame portion 31.

  The outer edge of the spacer 33 is fixed to the base 1 and the frame part 31 so as to coincide with the edge of the frame part 31. Thereby, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap 10 for holding the edge of the photograph is formed between the frame portion 31 and the base 1 along the edge of the through hole 311. The In addition, since the spacer 33 is not arranged on the “small edge” side of the album, an opening portion 34 that communicates with the through hole 311 is formed between the frame portion 31 and the base 1 in this portion. .

  The above-described photo holding unit 3 can be formed of various materials, for example, can be formed of an elastic material. As a result, the lid member 32 can be elastically screwed into the through hole 311 of the frame portion 31 and a frictional force acts, so that the lid member 32 can be prevented from falling off. Therefore, the lid member 32 can be repeatedly attached and detached. Further, if the thickness of the spacer 33 is reduced, the height of the gap 10 is reduced, and the photograph can be elastically held between the base 1 and the frame portion 31. As such an elastic material, for example, EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) resin can be adopted. In particular, if EVA resin is used, it is possible to prevent an unpleasant sound that the members 31 and 32 rub against each other when the lid member 32 is attached and detached. The spacer 33 can also be formed of paper or a plastic sheet.

  Next, a method for using the album configured as described above will be described. This album is presented to others as a gift, and for example, a commemorative photo is attached. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid member 32 is removed, and the photograph X is inserted from the opening 34 on the fore edge side. As described above, if the thickness of the spacer 33 is reduced, the frame portion 31 elastically presses the edge of the photograph, so that it does not fall off easily. And if the cover member 32 is attached and the cover 2 is closed so that the decorative surface is on the top, preparation is completed.

  When a person who has received such an album opens the cover 2, the decorative surface is first noticed, so that a decorative effect as a present can be achieved. Then, by removing the lid member 32, a memorial photo can be seen through the through hole 311, so that the presentation effect as a present is further improved. This album can be displayed on the wall so that the frame 31 holds the photo firmly.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the gap 10 for holding the photograph is formed between the base 1 and the frame portion 31. Therefore, if the edge of the photograph is held in the gap 10, A photograph can be seen through the through hole 311. In particular, if the frame portion 31 is formed of an elastic material, it is possible to prevent the photograph from dropping off. In addition, when the through hole 311 is closed with the lid member 32, the lid member 32 can be elastically fitted, so that the number of parts can be reduced. As a result, cost can be reduced.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. For example, the surface of the lid member 32 can be decorated as described above, but a message can also be written. At this time, a paper sticker such as an entry sheet can be pasted on the surface of the lid member 32 so that it can be easily described with a pen or the like. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the photograph is hold | maintained at the photograph holding | maintenance part 3, the paper in which a message, an illustration, etc. were described, a plastic sheet, etc. can be accommodated. Then, a transparent cover sheet can be stacked on the surface of the object to be held and accommodated in the photo holding unit 3, whereby the object to be held can be prevented from being stained or damaged. In addition, the object to be held is held in a part of the frame portion 31 and a message or the like is directly written on a part of the base 1 exposed from the through hole 311 or a seal or the like on which the message is written is pasted. it can. In addition, the cover 2 can be made into various aspects, and an illustration can be described or a shape can be changed. Further, the cover 2 is not necessarily required. Furthermore, the shape of the frame part 31 and the base 1 and the shape of the through hole 311 may be a circle other than a rectangle, an ellipse, or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of bases and photograph holding units may be bundled. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the album as viewed from “heaven”. This form shows an album in which an album piece composed of a base 1 and a photo holding unit 3 is fixed to a back 8 and a pair of covers 2 are attached to the back 8. Thereby, a some photograph can be presented as a present.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the cover can be devised for presentation. FIG. 6 shows the front surface (a) of the cover, the BB line cross section (b), and the back surface (c) of the cover. The cover 2 is formed by attaching decorative sheets 22 and 23 made of paper or plastic sheets to the front and back surfaces of a base material 21 made of an elastic material such as EVA resin. The cover 2 is provided with a character pattern and is shaped to match the character. The decorative sheet 22 is cut out so that the silhouette of a part of the character appears on the surface, and the base material 21 is exposed at the silhouette. For example, if the base material 21 is a dark color, the color of the base material 21 is used to appear like a shadow. The character itself can be drawn on the decorative sheet 23 on the back side. By adopting such a form, when the cover 2 is opened, the character's pattern appears clearly on the back surface, so that the decoration effect can be further improved.
