[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display stand 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1(a) is a perspective view of the display stand 10, and FIG. 1(b) is a side view of the display stand 10. It is a diagram. Further, FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing the display stand 10. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the display stand 10 includes a transparent plate 1, a back plate 2, a support portion 3, and the like, and is used to display a booklet 4 in an open state. The booklet 4 of this embodiment is a photobook, and images such as photographs are printed on each page of the booklet. Furthermore, these pages are glued to the spine, and a force acts to close the booklet 4 when it is open.

The transparent plate 1 is a surface material (first surface material) disposed in front of the booklet 4 (on the double-page spread side) when the booklet 4 is opened. The transparent plate 1 has a size corresponding to the open booklet 4, and is arranged so as to cover the open side of the booklet 4. The transparent plate 1 is made of glass or synthetic resin, for example, and has enough rigidity to resist the force of closing the booklet 4. A pattern, a logo, etc. may be printed on the transparent plate 1 in advance, or writing may be performed using a pen or the like.

The back plate 2 is a surface material (second surface material) arranged at the rear of the booklet 4 in an open state. A total of two backboards 2 are arranged at positions corresponding to the left and right pages of the opened booklet 4, respectively. Each back plate 2 has a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in a closed state (that is, about half the size of the transparent plate 1). The back plate 2 has enough rigidity to support the booklet 4 from behind, and is made of glass or synthetic resin. Further, although the back plate 2 of this embodiment is transparent, it may be opaque.

The support portion 3 is a rectangular parallelepiped member with a linear groove 31 provided on its upper surface, and has a concave cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The support portions 3 are arranged at positions corresponding to the left and right pages of the opened booklet 4, and the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched between the front and back are placed in the grooves 31 of the respective support portions 3. The lower end is inserted.

The transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched between the front and back are sandwiched between the grooves 31, so that the booklet 4 is fixed in a two-page spread state, and the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched in the front and back are sandwiched between the grooves 31. It is supported in a standing state by the support part 3.

The transparent plate 1, back plate 2, and support portion 3 of the display stand 10 are packed together with the booklet 4 when the booklet 4 is provided to a purchaser or the like. However, it is also possible to sell the display stand 10 separately from the booklet 4.

As explained above, according to the first embodiment, the booklet 4 in a double-page spread state is arranged between the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2, and these are supported by the support part 3, so that the booklet 4 can be opened in a double-page spread state. It can be stably held and exhibited for a long period of time. Further, the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 can protect the booklet 4 and prevent it from becoming dirty.

Further, in this embodiment, a groove 31 is provided on the upper surface of the support part 3, and the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched therebetween are inserted into the groove 31. By sandwiching the transparent plate 1, the back plate 2, and the booklet 4 between the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2, they can be fixed and supported.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in this embodiment, by setting the transparent plate 1 to a size corresponding to the opened booklet 4, the rigidity of the transparent plate 1 can prevent the booklet 4 from closing. may have a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in the closed state, and may be provided at positions corresponding to the left and right pages of the booklet 4 when opened. Alternatively, the transparent plate 1 having a size corresponding to the opened booklet 4 may be folded in half at the center position of the booklet 4 in the spread direction.

In these cases, when the booklet 4 is packed together with the transparent plate 1, the back plate 2, and the support part 3, the space of the package can be saved, and the support part 3 is able to withstand the force of closing the booklet 4. This can be resisted by friction between the surface and the surface on which it is placed. Note that the spread direction of the booklet 4 refers to the direction in which the left and right pages of the spread booklet 4 are lined up, and corresponds to the depth direction in FIG. 1(a) and the paper normal direction in FIG. 1(b).

Further, in this embodiment, the back plate 2 has a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in the closed state, and is provided at positions corresponding to the left and right pages of the booklet 4 when the booklet is opened. It is also possible to have a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in the state and place one sheet behind the booklet 4.

Further, in the present embodiment, the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 are made separate from the support part 3, but the transparent plate 1, the back plate 2, or both may be integrated into the support part 3.

Further, in this embodiment, the support part 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the shape of the support part 3 is not particularly limited as long as it has the groove 31 on the top surface. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two supporting parts 3 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right pages of the opened booklet 4, but as shown in the display stand 10a in FIG. Thus, the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched between them may be supported.

Furthermore, the support part is not limited to one having the groove 31 on the upper surface. For example, as shown in the support part 3a of the display stand 10b in FIG. It is also possible to use a nut 33 that sandwiches the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 from the front and back. The lower ends of the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 and the end opposite to the above-mentioned end of the support rod 32 are in contact with the mounting surface, so that the transparent plate 1 and the back plate 2 with the booklet 4 sandwiched between them can be held together. It can be fixed and supported in an upright position.

Moreover, the booklet 4 displayed using the display stand of the present invention is not limited to a photo book, and may be any other booklet. Furthermore, although the booklet 4 described above is one in which a force acts to close it when it is open, it is possible to display even a booklet in which such a force does not act, such as a ring-bound booklet, for example. .

Another example of the present invention will be described below as a second embodiment. The second embodiment will be described with respect to differences from the first embodiment, and similar configurations will be denoted by the same reference numerals in the figures, etc., and a description thereof will be omitted.

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display stand 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, similar to FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is an exploded diagram of the display stand 20.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the display stand 20 differs from the first embodiment in that it has a box body 8, a support portion 3, etc., and the booklet 4 in an open state is stored in the box body 8.

The top surface of the box body 8 is open, and surfaces other than the top surface are made of transparent synthetic resin or the like. However, the portion other than the front surface 81 may be opaque.

The booklet 4 is inserted into the box 8 from the opening on the top surface of the box 8 in an open state. The booklet 4 is arranged in the box body 8 such that the front surface 81 (first surface material) of the box body 8 is located at the front, and the back surface 82 (second surface material) of the box body 8 is located at the rear. Ru. That is, the booklet 4 is stored in the box 8 while being sandwiched between the front side 81 and the back side 82 of the box 8 .

The front surface 81 and the back surface 82 are connected by a side surface 83 at both ends of the spread direction of the booklet 4 (corresponding to the depth direction in FIG. 5(a) and the normal direction to the paper surface in FIG. 5(b)), and are connected by a bottom surface 84 at the bottom end. Connected.

The front side 81 and the back side 82 have a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in an open state. The widths of the side surfaces 83 and the lower surface 84 (that is, the distance between the front surface 81 and the rear surface 82) are approximately equal to or slightly larger than the thickness of the booklet 4 in the closed state.

The width and depth of the groove 31 of the support part 3 are set so that the box body 8 containing the booklet 4 can be sandwiched and fixed from the front and back, and the lower end of the box body 8 is inserted into the groove 31 of the support part 3. As a result, the box body 8 is supported by the support portion 3 in an upright state.

The box 8 is also used as a packaging material for the booklet 4, and the purchaser of the booklet 4 is provided with the booklet 4 in a closed state packed in the box 8 together with the support part 3, as shown in FIG. be done. A person receiving the booklet 4 can receive the booklet 4 packed in a box 8 and use the box 8 as a display for the booklet 4. The box body 8 can also be used as a storage case for the booklet 4.

Also in this second embodiment, the booklet 4 in an open state is placed between the front side 81 and the back side 82 of the box body 8, and the box body 8 containing the booklet 4 is supported by the support part 3, so that the booklet 4 can be held and displayed in a two-page spread state, and the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

The box body 8 can also be used as a packaging material for the booklet 4 or as a storage case, and can be used to make the booklet 4 dustproof and stain-proof. In particular, by using the box 8 as a packaging material, the recipient of the booklet 4 can use the box 8 in which the booklet 4 is packed as the display stand 20.

In this embodiment, the booklet 4 is displayed by arranging the box 8 so that the top surface is open, but the booklet 4 may be displayed by arranging the box 8 so that the bottom surface is open. Further, the side surface of the box 8 may be open, and in any case, it is sufficient that one surface of the box 8 excluding the front surface 81 and the back surface 82 is open.

Further, in the second embodiment, the side surface 83 and the bottom surface 84 of the box body 8 resist the force of the booklet 4 to close. Therefore, like the display stand 20a in FIG. 8, it is also possible to use a support portion 3b that only supports the box 8 containing the booklet 4.

The support portion 3b has an L-shaped cutout in a cross section perpendicular to the spread direction of the booklet 4 (corresponding to the normal direction of the paper surface in FIG. 8), and the booklet 4 is stored in the bottom surface 34 of the cutout. The lower surface 84 of the box 8 is placed thereon, and the lower end of the back surface 82 of the box 8 is placed against the wall 35 of the notch.

In addition, in consideration of the fact that in the packaged state shown in FIG. 7, the box 8 has a size equivalent to two booklets 4, and the space for one book is extra, we have devised ways to save space on the box 8. You may do so.

For example, in the display stand 20b of FIG. 9A, two boxes 8a are arranged side by side in the spread direction of the booklet 4, and their back surfaces 82 are connected to each other. Each box 8a has a back surface 82, a front surface 81, a side surface 83, a lower surface 84, and an upper surface 85, and the opposing surfaces of both boxes 8a are open. The front surface 81 and back surface 82 of each box 8a have a size corresponding to the booklet 4 in a closed state.

The back surfaces 82 of both the boxes 8a are connected at an opening edge A corresponding to the side edge of the back surface 82 among the opening edges of the opening surfaces, and by bending both the boxes 8a at this opening edge A, the shape shown in FIG. As shown by arrow B in b), both boxes 8a can be folded and placed one on top of the other.

When packing or storing the booklet 4, the booklet 4 and the support part 3 may be inserted into one of the box bodies 8a from the opening surface, and thereby the booklet 4 can be packed and stored more compactly. When packing the booklet 4, it is also possible to store another booklet 4 for storage in the other box 8a.

In the illustrated example, the back surfaces 82 of the two boxes 8a, 8a are connected by the opening edge A, but it is also possible to connect the front surfaces 81 of the two boxes 8a, 8a by the opening edge, and the same effect can be obtained. is obtained.

Alternatively, the display stand 20c may be configured by arranging the two boxes 8b and 8c shown in FIG. 10(a) side by side in the spread direction of the booklet 4. Both boxes 8b and 8c have the same front surface 81, back surface 82, side surface 83, lower surface 84, upper surface 85, and opening surface structure as the box 8a, but the box 8b is one size smaller than the box 8c. The end of the box 8b on the opening side is inserted inside the end of the box 8c on the opening side, and these ends are placed one on top of the other.

When packing or storing the booklet 4, the box 8b containing the booklet 4 and the support part 3 is inserted into the box 8c from the opening surface of the box 8c, as shown by arrow C in FIG. 10(b). do it. As a result, the overall thickness can be reduced, so that the booklet 4 can be packed and stored more compactly.

In the above example, the box 8b is one size smaller than the box 8c, but as shown in the boxes 8d and 8e in FIG. , 8c, the booklet 4 can also be displayed, packaged, and stored.

The boxes 8d and 8e also have a front surface 81, a back surface 82, a side surface 83, a lower surface 84, an upper surface 85, and an opening surface similar to those of the box 8a, but in the example of FIG. A cut 86 from the opening surface is provided on the upper surface 85 of the box 8d, and a cut 87 from the opening surface is provided on the lower surface 84 of the other box body 8e.

In this case, the back side 82 of the box 8e is inserted into the notch 86 of the box 8d, the front 81 of the box 8d is inserted into the notch 87 of the box 8e, and the box 8e is inserted into the box 8d as shown by arrow C. As shown in FIG. 11(b), the boxes 8d and 8e can be overlapped compactly. The method of displaying, packing, and storing the booklet 4 using the boxes 8d and 8e is the same as that for the boxes 8b and 8c described above, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.
