Description

  The present invention relates to a stand for self-supporting a decorative frame on which the card-like object is arranged, for use in a photo frame that decorates a card-like object represented by a photograph or a desk calendar.

  Many photo stands and desk calendars have a stand-type structure with a support for self-supporting. However, the direction in which many things stand is determined, and there are few that can be used both vertically and horizontally. In particular, paper photo frames that are used both vertically and horizontally tend to have weak feet (supports). Also, when a support is formed by punching a mount, a photo or the like is transmitted by light transmitted through the punched portion. There may be inconveniences in which the pattern on the back surface can be seen through or shadows appear in the photograph. In order to prevent this point, it is necessary to put a light shielding sheet on the back of the mount. On the other hand, utility model registration No. 3089419 discloses a stand part for cards, but the stand part described therein is a stand-only part, and is used by adhering to the back of the card. There is a need. In addition, this stand component is an example which cannot combine vertical installation and horizontal installation. Utility Model Registration No. 3119699 relates to a simple stand that can be freely used in vertical and horizontal directions made of a single sheet of paper, but since the support of this has a punched portion, there is an inconvenience that the pattern on the back surface is transparent. Will result.

  Another problem with a photo frame appears when the support and the fixed piece that secures it consist of a combination of separate paperboards. In the two-sheet structure, as a matter of course, there is a problem that material is wasted. Further, although the support is formed in a small and particularly elongated shape, such a structure has a problem that it is easily broken at a portion supported by a fixing piece and cannot be repaired once it is broken. Considering the necessity of overlapping light-shielding sheets in order to prevent the pattern on the back surface from being seen through, the smaller the number of mounts used for the stand, the better.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above points, and the problem is that it can be formed by using a single sheet, and the shape of the completed stand can be maintained for a long time. It is to provide a stand for use in higher photo frames. Another object of the present invention is to provide a stand for use in a photo frame that is easy to assemble, does not require labor for processing, is composed of a single sheet, reduces material costs, and can be changed in the vertical and horizontal directions. Is to provide.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a stand for self-supporting a decorative frame for arranging the card-like object in a photo stand for displaying a card-like object represented by a photograph or a desktop calendar. The stand body having a portion to be integrated and having a portion for providing a self-supporting means to the decorative frame, and is bent rearward obliquely by a hinge body formed on the stand body itself and the stand body itself. A support body constituting the means, and a support body fixing piece formed on the stand main body, and having an engagement counterpart section that engages with the engagement section of the support body and fixes the support body in an obliquely rearward posture. It comprises a pair of left and right support fixing piece has a straight portion in contact with the rear surface of the support, by a curved portion surrounding the outer, crayfish, are shaped in a shape similar to scissors crabs, and Different lengths at the right and left support fixing piece, the longer support the fixed piece is intended took measures that shall have the structure located below when vertically.

  The photo frame that is the subject of the present invention is for decorating card-like objects such as a photo frame, desk calendar, greeting card, etc. It is about the stand to put. For this reason, the stand main body is characterized by being composed of a single sheet, has a portion that is integrated with the decorative frame, and has a portion for providing a self-supporting means to the decorative frame. The stand body takes the form of a blank obtained by punching a single sheet, and the main material assumed as the material of the sheet is cardboard. However, synthetic paper or plastic sheets can also be used.

  The stand main body is provided with a support formed by die cutting of the sheet as a self-supporting means, and is bent obliquely rearward at a hinge portion connected to the stand main body. The support body is connected to the hinge body without being separated from the stand main body. By bending the hinge body obliquely backward with the hinge section as the center, the support frame is in a posture to stand on its own. The support bent at the hinge is fixed in a fixed state by the support fixing piece.

  The support body fixing piece is formed on the stand main body, and has an engagement counterpart section that engages with an engagement section of the support body and fixes the support body in a posture bent obliquely rearward. Since the support bent obliquely rearward is fixed at a fixed position by using the support fixing piece, from the viewpoint of its function, even a single function can be achieved. However, when it is considered that one is insufficient from the viewpoint of strength or stability, a plurality of them can be provided.

  Therefore, the stand body has at least two corners that are orthogonal to each other, and a support that forms the self-supporting means is formed at a position including the corner, and a pair of left and right support fixing pieces are formed on both sides of the support. It is desirable that the pair of left and right support fixing pieces be formed by punching and be configured to be bent at the fixing piece hinges formed in the direction away from the support at the left and right ends of the hinge part of the support. . As a result, the pair of left and right support body fixing pieces are arranged substantially in parallel, and the support body can be fixed more stably.

  Further, the stand body has a substantially rectangular outer shape, and a support body constituting the self-supporting means is formed at a position including one corner portion of the stand body, and either one of the two sides constituting the corner portion is a support piece. It is also desirable to use a self-supporting means for vertical or horizontal placement according to the vertical and horizontal directions of the rectangle. As a result, the vertical and horizontal standing can be freely changed, and both vertical and horizontal postures are stable.

  The pair of left and right support fixing pieces are formed in a shape similar to the crayfish and crab scissors by a straight line portion in contact with the back surface of the support member and a curved portion surrounding the outside. It is assumed that the lengths of the support fixing pieces are different, and the longer support fixing piece is configured to be positioned below when vertically placed. The shape similar to the crayfish and crab scissors is more meaningful in characterizing the present invention than in the technical significance. Although the length of the support fixing piece can be freely determined, the stability of the longer support fixing piece can be further improved because the center of gravity of the longer support fixing piece is lowered when the support fixing piece is placed vertically.

  The fixing portion of the support is composed of a slit hole having a step, and the slit hole is formed such that one of the steps is longer than the other, and the support fixing piece is inserted into the slit hole from the longer one of the steps, It has a key-type engaging mating part that engages with the other shorter side, and the support fixing piece is urged to the other shorter side by the bending reaction force used for the fixing piece hinge part, and comes off. It is possible to take a configuration that stops.

  Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, it can be formed by using a single sheet, and can be formed with a rational and higher degree of perfection that can maintain the shape of the completed stand for a long period of time. There is an effect that a stand used for a photo frame can be provided. In addition, according to the present invention, there is provided a stand for use in a photo frame that is easy to assemble, does not require labor for processing, and is composed of a single sheet, so that the material cost can be suppressed and the manner of standing can be changed vertically and horizontally. can do.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view showing an example 1 of a stand 15 used for a photo frame 10 according to the present invention, and 11 is a front view for containing and using card-like objects typified by photographs and desk calendars. It is a decorative frame formed in a rectangular shape. The decorative frame 11 includes a front plate 12 having a frame portion 12a in which a window-like opening is formed on the front surface, an intermediate plate 13 forming a storage space 13a for inserting a card-like object such as a photograph, and the back The middle plate 13 used in Example 1 shown in FIG. 2 is formed in a substantially U-shape with the insertion port 13b positioned upward when placed vertically. .

  The stand 15 of the present invention is constituted by a stand main body made of a single sheet, and the stand main body has a portion 15 a integrated with the decorative frame 11 and a portion 15 b for providing a self-standing means to the decorative frame 11. (See FIG. 2). The stand main body is made of high-quality cardboard like the decorative frame 11 and is in the form of a blank having a rectangular shape that is the same shape as the front plate 12 and punched out from a single sheet. The stand 15 used in the illustrated example 1 is bonded to the back surface of the back plate 14 in a range excluding the support 16 described later in the portion 15a integrated with the decorative frame 11, and the remaining portion 15b is not bonded.

  The portion 15b constituting the support 16 as a self-standing means of the stand body is not bonded to the back plate 14. In the example 1 shown in the figure, a portion excluding the support fixing piece 19 and the like from the portion 15 b for providing the self-supporting means constitutes the support 16. The stand body has a corner portion c with two sides orthogonal to each other, and the two sides 16a and 16b sandwiching the corner portion c form a support body 16 that constitutes a self-supporting means. The other piece 16b of the two sides is a support side when placed horizontally. The support body 16 is connected to the stand body without being separated from the stand main body 17 and is bent obliquely rearward with the hinge section 17 as a center so that the decoration frame 11 can stand on its own.

  The stand main body is formed with a pair of left and right support fixing pieces 19l and 19r by die cutting. The support fixing pieces 19l and 19r shown in the drawing are composed of a pair of left and right formed along both sides of the support 16, and are separated from the support at the left and right ends of the hinge portion 17 of the support 16 (stand body). Are bent by fixed piece hinge portions 20l and 20r formed in the opposite diagonal direction to the corner portion c). In addition, the support body 16 is formed with engagement portions 18l and 18r, and engages with these engagement portions 18l and 18r to fix the support body 16 in a posture bent obliquely rearward, 21r is provided on the support fixing pieces 19l and 19r. The pair of left and right support fixing pieces 19l and 19r are formed by forming a shape similar to the crayfish and crab scissors by the straight line portion I in contact with the back surface of the support 16 and the curved portion J surrounding the outside. One of the above features.

  The engaging portions 181 and 18r of the support 16 are formed of slit holes having steps, and the slit holes are formed so that the outside of the steps is shorter than the inside, and the support fixing pieces 19l and 19r One of the longer ones is inserted into the slit holes of the engaging portions 181 and 18r, and has key-type engaging counterparts 21l and 21r that engage with the shorter one. Further, the slit holes of the engaging portions 181 and 18r are such that the shorter side portions 18s and 18t are substantially parallel and are located on the extension lines of the fixed piece hinge portions 20l and 20r, and the support fixing pieces 191 and 19r is configured to be biased toward the other shorter side portions 18s and 18t by a bending reaction force used for the fixed piece hinge portions 20l and 20r.

  In the stand 15 used for the photo frame 10 of Example 1 having such a configuration, the support body 16 is bent obliquely rearward at the hinge portion 17, and an assembly punching portion 22 formed at a key point is used. The pair of left and right support fixing pieces 19l and 19r are assembled so as to be raised toward the rear side of the photo frame 10 (see FIG. 3). Next, the left and right key-shaped engaging counterparts 21l and 21r are inserted into the left and right engaging portions 18l and 18r of the support body 16 bent obliquely backward, respectively. Since the urging force to the outside by the reaction force of the bending at the fixed piece hinge portions 20l and 20r is acting on the inserted mating counterpart portions 21l and 21r, the other shorter side portions 18s and 18t To prevent the slipping and positioning by this (see FIG. 4).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 5, Example 2 of the embodiment of the stand used for the photo frame according to the present invention will be described. In the stand 25 of Example 2, the stand body has a portion 25a integrated with the decorative frame 11, and a portion 25b for providing a self-standing means to the decorative frame 11, and a pair of left and right support fixing pieces 23l. , 23r are formed in a shape similar to the crayfish and crab scissors by the straight portion 1 in contact with the back surface of the support 16 and the curved portion J surrounding the outside thereof, as in Example 1. However, in Example 2, the lengths of the left and right support fixing pieces 23l and 23r are different, and the longer support fixing piece 23l is positioned below when placed vertically. In Example 2, the hinge portion 24 is set to be significantly shorter than that of Example 1. Since other configurations are the same as in Example 1, the same reference numerals are used and detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the case of the stand used for the photo frame of Example 2, since the longer support fixing piece 23l is positioned below when placed vertically, the center of gravity of the entire stand is lowered by the load of the support fixing piece 23l, In particular, it is effective in improving the stability during vertical installation, which tends to be unstable. On the other hand, the shorter support fixing piece 23r is positioned below when placed horizontally, but since the center of gravity when placed horizontally is low, the problem of instability is inherently small and the stability problem can be ignored. In Example 2, by setting the hinge portion 24 short, it was possible to maintain the required strength and increase the bending ease of the support 16. In addition, the length (size) of the pair of left and right support fixing pieces 23l and 23r formed in a shape similar to the crayfish and crab scissors is different, so that the appearance is unbalanced and the shape is interesting. Increase.

  Next, Example 3 of the embodiment of the stand used for the photo frame according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The stand 26 of Example 3 is an example having a pair of left and right support fixing pieces 19l and 19r having substantially the same size as in Example 1 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, and in particular, the hinge portion 27 is used as the support fixing piece 19l. , 19r, and the support 28 is formed in a large size. Since other configurations are the same as those of Example 1 and Example 2, the same reference numerals are used and detailed description will not be repeated.

  The substrate of Example 3 has a large support 28 and is not smart compared to Examples 1 and 2. However, the material is not wasted and the stability is very good. In the case of Example 3, the stand body is square, and in this case, no change in the vertical and horizontal postures occurs. However, since it is obvious that the stand used for the photo frame according to the present invention can be formed in a shape other than a rectangle, FIG. 6 is shown as one example. The form of the stand main body is not limited to these examples, and it is possible to select other regular or irregular shapes.

  Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 7, Example 4 of embodiment of the stand used for the photo frame according to the present invention will be described. Example 4 is an example of a photo frame having a stand integrally, and has a portion 25a formed in the same manner as in Example 2 and integrated with a front plate 34 as a decorative frame, and a portion 25b having a support 16. doing. In addition, a stand 30 provided with a pair of left and right support fixing pieces 23l and 23r, which is shaped like a crayfish or crab scissors, and a rectangular stand 30 are connected to each other through a bent portion 31. In order to form a back plate 32 which is substantially the same size and size as the stand 30 and which serves as a base for the card-like object, and a storage space for inserting the card-like object, It is composed of a spacer 33 which is provided in a substantially U shape on three sides of the face plate 32 and also serves as an adhesive margin.
