Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support device for storage boxes and mobile cases for electrical equipment, etc.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when using electrical equipment such as tape recorders and video tape recorders, it is often more convenient to use them in an upright position. However, in this case, the equipment had the disadvantage that it was unstable and easily fell down, and such falling could cause a failure of the equipment. In particular, in the case of a video tape recorder, etc., the recorder body and camera are connected via a cord, and the user moves around holding the camera, so the above-mentioned drawbacks are more likely to occur and become even more problematic. Moreover, the above-mentioned problems have become more prominent as the above-mentioned equipment has become lighter, smaller, and more precise, and a solution has been desired.

The present invention was proposed primarily to solve the problems of the conventional methods as described above, and its purpose is to provide stable support for electrical equipment, etc. even when the equipment is used in an upright position. The object of the present invention is to provide a support device that can perform the following tasks. Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings showing a preferred embodiment.

In FIG. 1 showing an overview of the present invention, reference number 1 is a carrying case for electrical equipment, etc., and 1' is the back side thereof. Reference numeral 2 denotes a support plate of the device according to the present invention, which is rotatably fixed to the back surface 1' of the case 1 at a folded portion 2'. The material of the support plate 2 may be cardboard, plastic, or other material as long as it has sufficient strength to support ordinary electrical equipment. Furthermore, if the support body 2 is formed by covering a cardboard or the like with a synthetic resin or the like, and the part made only of the synthetic resin is used as the folded part 2', it is convenient because there is no need to provide a separate rotatable support means. be.
Note that the folded portion 2' is fixed to the back surface 1' by eyelets or the like. Reference numeral 3 denotes a window portion bored approximately at the upper center of the support plate 2, and reference numeral 4 denotes a recessed portion formed continuously below the lower part of the window portion 3. 5 is a locking plate, and 6 is a fixture for the locking plate 5. This fixture 6 is fixed to the portion of the support plate 2 on the back surface 1' where the window portion 3 is located. The locking plate 5 is rotatably supported by the mounting tool 6, and is urged toward the back surface 1' of the case 1 by a torsion spring or the like. 1st
The figure shows a state in which the locking plate 5 configured as described above is positioned in the recess 4 on the support plate 2 through the window 3 of the support plate 2. In this state, the support plate 2 is attached to the back surface 1' due to the urging force of the locking plate 5.
stick to the top. Further, in this case, since the locking plate 5 is fitted into the recess 4 of the support plate 2, the locking plate 5 does not protrude above the support plate 2 and becomes flat, so that the outer shape is not damaged.
Note that reference numbers 7 and 8 are locking holes provided near both ends of the locking plate 5, respectively. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a claw piece 9 is fixed to the lower part of the window 3 of the support plate 2, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. This claw piece 9 is large enough to be inserted into the locking holes 7 and 8 of the locking plate 5, and faces into the locking hole 7 of the locking plate 5 in the state shown in FIG. (Figure 2).

Next, the operation of the apparatus according to the present invention constructed as described above will be explained based on FIGS. 2 to 4.

In the closed state of the support plate 2 shown in FIG.
The top is close. In this state, even if an attempt is made to open the support plate 2, the claw piece 9 portion is locked by the locking hole 7, and therefore cannot be opened. Support plate 2
To open it, first lift the locking plate 5 slightly to release the locking of the claw piece 9 by the locking hole 7, and then lift the support plate 2 so that the claw piece 9 comes into contact with the lower surface of the locking plate 5. They are in a state where they are in contact (Figure 3). After that,
If the support plate 2 is further lifted in this state, the locking hole 8 of the locking plate 5 will automatically fit into the claw piece 9 due to the biasing force of the locking plate 5, so that the support plate 2 will be locked. The open state shown in FIG. 4 is maintained. In this state, if used as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to stably support electrical equipment, etc. housed in the carrying case 1 in an upright state. To close the support plate 2, lift the locking plate 5 and remove the locking hole 8 from the claw piece 9 in the state shown in FIG. , and is biased by the locking plate 5, so it automatically returns to the closed state shown in FIG.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the locking plate 5 is such that a groove 10 is formed approximately in the center as shown in FIG.
If this is provided, the claw pieces 9 will move while being guided by the grooves 10 from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. You can understand what is done. Further, although not shown in the drawings, it is of course possible to form a recessed portion in which the claw piece 9 is locked in place of the locking holes 7 and 8 of the locking plate 5.

Here, another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In this example,
This shows a case in which the positions of the window 3 and recess 4 of the support plate 2, the claw piece 9, or the locking plate 5 are completely opposite to those of the previous embodiment, and the structure and operation are the same as those of the previous embodiment. , no special explanation is required. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a case was shown in which the device according to the present invention was installed in a carrying case for electrical equipment, etc., but the device is not limited to the above, and other articles such as books, etc. Needless to say, it can also be applied to a lectern etc. that can be placed in a leaning position.

Since the support device according to the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it provides excellent effects as described below.

When the support plate is closed, the claw portion is locked by one of the locking holes of the locking plate and is pressed by the locking plate, so that the support plate does not touch the mounting surface of the case, etc. It is completely in close contact with the surface, so there is no flapping or the like. Therefore, in the case of a mobile phone case, etc., it does not get in the way when being carried around.
If you open the support plate and lock the claw part with the other locking hole of the locking plate and fix it, the electrical equipment etc. stored in a mobile case etc. can be stably erected at a predetermined angle. can be supported. Also,
When the support plate is lifted and reaches a certain position, the claw piece is automatically locked by the other locking hole of the locking plate, and the support plate is fixed. When the lock is released, the support plate automatically returns to its original closed state due to the biasing force of the lock plate, making it extremely easy to open and close the support plate.
