Description

  The present invention relates to a calendar for displaying a calendar sheet for a plurality of months using a board.

In the conventional general calendar, the date of one month is displayed and twelve calendar papers for one year are often bound with a binding tool at the top of the paper. However, you can also see a calendar that displays the dates of multiple months, which is more convenient.
As shown in FIG. 12, in the calendar displayed in three months, the date for three months is printed and many are bound at the upper end. It cuts out part of the calendar paper for the month past the cut line for each month.
In addition, a wall calendar that is displayed in three months, with a crease on the monthly calendar with a hole in the top, and a protrusion on the top of the base plate to display the three months, and the rest There is a calendar device that stores a non-posted calendar behind the base plate. (See FIG. 13) (See Patent Document 1)
Similarly, there is a wall calendar that displays three months, in which a calendar of 13 months is continuously written on a vertically long sheet, a fold line is provided for each month, and the calendar is moved up every two months. (See Patent Document 2)

JP 2002-103849 A. Utility Model Registration No. 3090192.

The conventional calendar for posting a plurality of months has any of the following problems.
1) The calendar displayed in FIG. 12 is a calendar that cuts calendar paper and changes the display every month. Since the arrangement order of the month display is changed every month (in the figure, they are arranged in order of June, May, and July), there is a drawback that it is difficult to find the display of the desired date. Further, since the calendar paper is cut off, it is not recorded as a record.
2) The calendar of Patent Document 1 displayed in FIG. 13 is every two months, but when changing the month display, it is difficult to widen or bend the calendar paper. In other words, it takes time to exchange bulletins.
3) In the calendar of Patent Document 2, the position of the current month's calendar changes every month, and the target date must be searched for by eye. Moreover, as can be said for the calendar paper of Patent Document 1, since it is necessary to use a long paper for 12 consecutive months, a sales promotion logo or company name cannot be printed later. And most of all, it takes a lot of time and effort to fold the paper into 12 months.
4) Although it is common to all the calendars described above, it is a structure that is difficult to use as a desktop calendar because it displays a three-month calendar vertically. In addition, since the calendar paper is configured in units of one year, the month display of the previous year and the new year cannot be posted continuously when the year changes.

In order to solve the problems as described above, the calendar device of the present invention is composed of a substantially rectangular monthly calendar sheet and a board having a place for posting a plurality of the calendar sheets.
The board is provided with a stopper in which a side on which the calendar paper advances is a slope and a side on which the calendar paper returns is a hook plate and a front plate located on the front side of the calendar paper between the places where the calendar paper is posted. It is what.

Furthermore, it is composed of a substantially square monthly calendar paper and a board having a place for posting a plurality of the calendar papers, and the side where the calendar paper advances between the places where the calendar papers are posted is sloped. The side on which the calendar paper returns is provided with a hook-like stopper and a front plate located on the front side of the calendar paper.

And in order to solve the above problems, the update method of the month display of the calendar of the present invention comprises a substantially rectangular monthly calendar paper and a board having a place for posting a plurality of the calendar paper, The board is provided with a stopper in which a side on which the calendar paper advances is a slope and a side on which the calendar paper returns is a hook plate and a front plate located on the front side of the calendar paper between the places where the calendar paper is posted. Using the calendar device
Slide the calendar paper on the surface at the first posting location of the calendar paper between the front plate with the board and the stopper,
This is a method for updating the month display of the calendar, which is characterized by moving to a second posting place on the calendar paper.

The calendar device according to the present invention can provide the following effects.
1) It is possible to produce all paper as a raw material, it is environmentally friendly, there is no need for sorting waste, and the calendar paper can be used on the front and back sides, so it is economical.
2) The calendar device of the present invention can also be applied as a wall hanging or desk calendar. In addition, the calendar display that continues every month can be arranged vertically and horizontally, so the range of use is wide.
3) The calendar apparatus of the present invention is optimally used for displaying a calendar for three consecutive months. The calendar is arranged in a chronological order from the top (or from the left) for 3 consecutive months, making it easy to see and convenient. At this time, for example, by setting the center position as the calendar of this month, the line of sight is not lost when searching for the date.
4) In the calendar apparatus of the present invention, the calendar paper is separated into individual sheets and is substantially rectangular, so that it is easy to manufacture and print, and can be manufactured at low cost.
5) When the calendar paper is printed one by one and the company name or logo for advertisements is printed on the calendar paper, it is convenient because it can be printed on a copier that is popular just before. is there.
6) The calendar device of the present invention is easy to use because the calendar posting (month display) can be changed by a simple operation of sliding and moving the calendar paper.

8) In the calendar device of the present invention, if calendar paper of the same size is adopted in the next year, it is possible to continuously display the month display exceeding the year, which is convenient.
As described above, the calendar device of the present invention is convenient and easy to view because it does not take time to change the calendar paper as described above, and can display the calendar for three months in time series.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Prior to description of the embodiments, members and parts of the invention of the present application will be described.

<Explanation of calendar paper>
The calendar paper of the present application is a paper on which a monthly calendar (date, day of the week, month display, etc.) is written on each sheet. The calendar paper may have a datebook, six days of writing, and a memo field.
Beyond the general calendar concept, there may be paper with subway maps, emergency contact lists, photos, pictures, slogans and schedules. You can also use the front and back of calendar paper.

The calendar paper 1 may be made of paper or a synthetic resin plate as long as it is thin and strong. As the hardness of a piece of paper, a soft one such as dust paper or newspaper is unsuitable for the present invention, and the hardness of a general learning notebook or pamphlet paper is appropriate. If the paper quality is as hard as postcard or drawing paper, it is enough.

As for the size of the calendar paper 1, a paper size of a memo paper is suitable for a small one and a paper of B4 size for a large one.

Since the calendar paper is substantially rectangular and each calendar paper uses the same size paper, the calendar device of the present invention performs optimally. However, even if it is a rectangle, it is safe to round the corners.
As shown in FIG. 1, the vertical or horizontal dimension of the calendar paper needs to be accommodated in a place 2a on the calendar paper provided on the board. Further, it is necessary that the size be fitted between the stopper of the present application where the calendar paper is posted and the stopper of the next calendar paper. Further, when the side plate 5 that guides the traveling direction of the calendar paper is adopted, the vertical or horizontal dimension of the calendar paper needs to be a size that fits between the side plates.
The calendar paper of the present invention has a simple shape, and can be used economically by printing a calendar for another month on the back side and using both the front and back sides. Since the calender paper does not need to be folded or bound, it is easy to manufacture and can be printed easily at a low cost. Further, when the calendar of the present invention is used for gifts, since the calendar paper is substantially rectangular, a company name, a logo, and the like can be printed later with a commonly used copying machine.
Further, a calendar sheet may be used in which a substantially rectangular sheet is cut out in the shape of an animal or a vehicle, and a vertical or horizontal dimension of a part of the sheet matches the above-described dimensional condition.

Alternatively, the calendar paper may be a substantially square having substantially the same length and width. With such a calendar paper shape, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, it is convenient as a calendar by correctly setting the vertical orientation of the calendar paper, regardless of whether the board is oriented vertically or horizontally. Available.
In addition, the approximate rectangle or the approximate square is the range that fits in the place where the calendar paper of the board is posted, and the range that fits in the stopper between the posted locations, and if there is a side plate, it fits in the side plate. This means that it does not have to be strictly rectangular or square as long as it is within the range.

<Board>
The board material may be paper, plastic, wood, etc. When paper or plastic is used, it should be hard like cardboard, notebook or book cover. When using wood, it can be applied even if it has a thickness of several centimeters.
The board must be large enough to display multiple calendar sheets. The main purpose of the calendar device of the present invention is to display a calendar for several months in an easy-to-read manner, and from the viewpoint of making it easy to replace the display of the calendar paper for each month, the size of the board that can display three calendar papers is optimal It can be said that it is a use situation.
It is a feature of the present application that between the places on the board where the calendar paper is posted, there is provided a stopper in which the side on which the calendar paper advances is a slope and the side on which the calendar paper returns is provided with a hook. The board must also have a front plate located in front of the calendar paper. Although the relationship between the stopper and the front plate will be described in detail later, the calendar paper easily passes between the front plate and the stopper, but has a mechanism function that makes it difficult to return.

<Stopper>
The stopper used in this application has a slope shape on one side as seen from the side and has a function that allows slipping without catching an object, and the opposite side has a hook-like shape like a corner, and the function that an object catches on a corner. It is a certain stopper.
In other words, when the calendar paper slides and moves along the board, it is a stopper having a structure that can pass slippery in one direction and cannot return due to the calendar paper being caught in the returning direction. Here, since this member has a function of preventing the calendar paper from returning, this member is referred to as a stopper.
The function of returning the tip of a fishhook or rod is a structure that is easily pierced but cannot be easily removed in the opposite direction. The stopper of the present application has the same function as the return of the edge of the bag with respect to the movement of the calendar paper. Or, like a device for catching fish, the entrance has a function that is easy to enter and the exit is narrow and the exit is difficult to find.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the present stopper.
(A) The figure is an example in which a notch is provided in a part of the board and the notch is bent at a fold line 4j to be raised and used as the stopper of the present application. A feature is that the folding line 4j that causes the cut is perpendicular to the direction 4f in which the calendar paper moves and advances. When the notch is generated, the front surface of the notch becomes a slope 4i with respect to the surface of the board, and the present application stopper has a structure that allows the calendar paper to pass over the slope. When the calendar paper moves in the returning direction 4g, the calendar paper is caught by a hook 4h when the raised cut is seen from the side.
Here, it is important that the length of the slope of the stopper is longer than the distance between the board and the front plate. As a result, the distance between the stopper and the front plate can be reduced, and when the calendar paper moves in the returning direction, the calendar paper is surely caught by the stopper.
(B) The drawing shows the present application stopper having a shape in which a cut is provided in a part of the board and the side surface of the cut is a slope when the cut is generated. The feature of this stopper lies in that the side surface (cut surface) of the paper when the incision is generated is a slope 4i with respect to the surface of the board. When the calendar paper moves along the board surface, it has a slope shape so that it can easily get over and pass. The shape on the opposite side of the cut is a hook shape 4h, and when the calendar paper moves in the returning direction, the hook is hooked on the hook.
(C) The figure shows the present stopper 4 having a structure in which a solid material 4e having a slope 4i on one side and a hook 4h on the other side is attached to the board 2. The solid material is suitably a resin produced by integral molding. In this case, the solid material can be fixed to the board with screws or an adhesive. It has the same function as above.

When the calendar paper is returned to any of the structures of the present application stopper, the application stopper functions like a corner in the hook shape 4h, so that the calendar paper does not enter under the corner and return.
Another structural feature is that when the calendar paper gets over the stopper of the present application, it can be positioned on the outermost surface of the calendar paper that is under the corner of the stopper of the present application. Even when a plurality of calendar papers exist under the corner of the stopper, the calendar paper that has moved does not dig into the calendar paper that meets the corner.

<Front plate and stopper>
The front plate and stopper used in the calendar of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The material of the front plate is preferably a thick paper or plastic sheet. The board may be bent to form a front plate. Alternatively, the separated sheet material may be attached to the board with an adhesive or a stepper. The board may be formed by providing notches or the like and the board and the front plate are engaged with each other. The front plate may be made of a transparent resin.

The front plate has a function to prevent the calendar paper from dropping forward.
In the meaning of overlapping of members, normally, the front side, the stopper, and the hook (corner) of the stopper are arranged in the order of calendar paper and board from the front side. However, the calendar device of the present application is a device for sliding the calendar paper through the space between the front plate and the stopper when updating the month display of the calendar. At that time, the front plate, calendar paper, stopper, and board are stacked in this order from the front side.
By sliding the calendar paper between the front plate and the stopper, the calendar paper can be slid along the board without removing the calendar paper from its original position. It can be moved.
As for the distance between the front plate and the stopper, the side where the calendar paper advances is the slope-like edge of the stopper, and the distance between the front plate and the stopper is wide. However, the distance between the front plate and the stopper on the calendar paper return side is the slope-like apex of the stopper, and the distance between the front plate and the stopper is narrow. In other words, the front plate and the stopper of the present application have a role as a gateway for the movement of the calendar paper, and have a function of a mechanism. The side where the calendar paper advances is wide and easy to enter the barrier, and the side where the calendar paper returns is narrow and difficult to enter the barrier.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the front plate 3 and the stopper 4 of the present invention, and is a view for explaining a front plate constituted by bending both ends of the board.
The stopper 4 is a notched stopper provided in the board 2 and is located behind the front plate as viewed from the front. Since the stopper is hidden behind the front plate, there is an advantage that it does not become obstructive when looking at the calendar. As shown in the figure, the calendar paper is slid along the board by pushing in the finger pressing direction 6a with a human hand 6 and climbs the slope of the stopper, and slides between the stopper and the front plate. Can do.

At this time, since the stopper is soft and has a notch structure provided on the board, the stopper is pushed by the calendar paper to change the slope gradient, and the distance between the front plate and the stopper is widened. When the calendar paper returns, it is pushed by the calendar paper and the slope gradient changes, and the distance between the front plate and the slope is narrowed. In other words, the flexibility of the stopper that caused the present application cut is used.
In addition, since the calendar paper has sheet-like flexibility, the portion that touches the stopper is bent and passes between the front plate and the stopper. That is, the device of the present application uses the flexibility of calendar paper.
FIG. 3 shows a state in which the calendar paper for February is getting over the stopper (sliding between the front plate and the stopper) and moving to the front of the calendar paper for January.

FIG. 4 is a view for explaining a front plate and a stopper according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4C is an enlarged plan view.
Although the stopper 4 in FIG. 4 is located away from the front plate, as described above, the front plate is located on the front side of the calendar paper and normally has a function of sandwiching the calendar paper between the front plate and the board. Have.
However, when the month display is updated, the calendar paper in the figure shows a state where the calendar paper climbs up the slope of the stopper and slides between the front plate and the stopper in the same manner as described above. In this case, even if the tip of the stopper protrudes slightly forward from the front plate, the calendar paper is flexible, so the stopper and the front plate are located away from each other when viewed from the front, but the stopper is in this position. However, in the same manner as described above from the side, the normal overlapping order of the members is the front plate, the stopper, the calendar paper, and the board from the front, and when the calendar paper is moved, the order is the front plate, the calendar paper, the stopper, and the board. . Similarly, it has a mechanism for calendar paper.
As shown in FIG. 4C, the calendar paper 1a is bent between the front plate and the position of the apex of the corner of the stopper. Further, in the direction in which the calendar advances, the calendar paper is bent between the position of the stopper and the position pressed by the finger. Thus, the present invention is an invention that utilizes the flexibility and flexibility of calendar paper having a paper hardness such as a postcard.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a front plate and a stopper according to another embodiment of the present invention. The front plate is a front plate 3b having an opening that covers the board, and is a front plate configured such that the calendar paper 1 can be seen from the opening 3c of the front plate. The stopper 4 is provided between the places 2a where the calendar paper is posted, and is hidden by a lateral member of the front plate and cannot be seen. Since the stopper is hidden behind the front plate, there is an advantage that it does not become obstructive when looking at the calendar. The front plate and stopper in this form also have the same functions as described above.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing that the front plate 3 and the stopper 4 have a setting function. (C) is a detailed sectional view.
The distance between the front plate 3 and the stopper 4a of the present application is wide at the interval 3d from the front plate to the sloped root on the side where the calendar paper moves and the interval at which the calendar paper returns is from the front plate to the corner tip. The interval 3e is narrow. That is, the calendar paper is wide and easy to go in between the front plate and the stopper, and narrow and hard to go in when returning. In addition, when returning, the stopper has a hook structure, so that it is a hooked structure.

<Side plate>
The side plate is a member for preventing the calendar paper from shifting in the left-right direction, and is provided on the board. The side plate and the board, and the side plate and the front plate may be integrated. Alternatively, separate members may be integrated. As long as the side plate has a function of guiding the advancing direction of the calendar paper, it may be another structure or other member.

<Description of calendar paper movement (update of month display)>
7, 8, and 9 are step-by-step explanatory views of a situation in which the calendar paper 1 slides and moves between the front plate 3 and the stopper 4 of the present application. In the figure, only two calendar sheets are displayed for the sake of simplicity.
FIG. 7 shows a state before the calendar paper is moved. The calendar paper is not behind the front plate 3a and falls forward, and does not fall down while hooked to the hook of the lower stopper 4a of the present application. Posted.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the calendar paper in the state of FIG. 7 is pushed up with a finger and slid between the front plate 3b and the stopper 4 provided on the board and moved upward. Since the present application stopper has a slope shape, the calendar sheet 1 can slide between the front plate and the present application stopper and can move over the stopper without being obstructed by the present application stopper.
FIG. 9 shows a state where the calendar paper has moved over the stopper of the present application and moved to the second posting place 2c of the target calendar paper, and has finished the movement. The calendar paper is caught by the stopper 4a that has been cut, and does not return to the original direction. That is, in this state, the calendar paper does not go in the original direction, does not tilt left and right, and is posted in a stable state that does not fall forward. The present calendar device is a method for updating the month display of the calendar characterized by the method described above.
Even when a plurality of calendar sheets are arranged in an overlapping manner, the outermost calendar sheet can be moved in the above procedure. Even if a plurality of calendar papers already exist at the destination, it can be moved to the outermost surface.

In the above procedure, the calendar paper is slid while being pressed with a finger. However, a method of providing a knob on the calendar paper and moving the calendar paper by holding the knob may be used. A hole may be made in the calendar paper, and the calendar paper may be slid by putting a finger in the hole.
