Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a newspaper holder that can hold the spine of a newspaper between its legs and hang it on a stand or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art Newspaper holders have been known in which the spine of a newspaper is held between hard plate-like bodies made of wood or steel. This newspaper holder is often used in hotel lobbies, libraries, etc., but because the board is hard, the newspaper cannot be folded and read, and the newspaper must be spread out to read, making it very difficult to handle. It took up a lot of space when reading newspapers.

Therefore, the present invention provides a newspaper holder that allows newspapers to be folded and read.

The newspaper holder of this invention consists of two elongated plates 1
a, 1b and plate-like bodies 1a, 1b, and the plate-like bodies 1a, 1b are made of thin plate-like bodies that can be elastically deformed. It is.

Here, as the elastically deformable plate-like body, steel such as spring steel, plastic, plastic composite, etc. can be used.

Next, the stopper may be of any shape, but it is preferable that the stopper interval be adjustable so that it can be deformed depending on the thickness of the newspaper sandwiched between the plates.

In this invention, an elastically deformable thin plate-like body is used for the newspaper holder, so when storing the newspaper, the newspaper holder can be hung on a stand etc. in an extended state, and when reading the newspaper, the newspaper holder can be folded appropriately. Since it can be read in a small size, it is easy to handle even for the elderly, and it can be used widely without taking up space when viewing.

An example of the present invention is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In this example, the plate bodies 1a and 1b are made of steel with a thickness of 0.3 mm, and the stopper 2 is made of a tapered spring body 2a. Two spring bodies 2a are attached to a plate-like body 1a, and holes 4 are provided in the plate-like body 1b at positions corresponding to the spring bodies 2a. The tip of the spring body 2a is passed through a newspaper 6 and inserted into a hole in the spring body 1b, and the spring body 2a is fixed by a slidable presser 5 attached to the spring body 1b. The plate-like bodies 1a and 1b normally extend in a straight line, and can be stably held by hanging both ends on a frame, and can be used by bending any part as necessary when viewing.

It should be noted that by providing at least one recess 3 extending in the width direction on the surface of each plate-like object, it is possible to make the object even easier to handle by making it easier to bend at the recess. (see figure).
