Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a photo stand.

(Prior Art) Conventional photo stands and photo frames can now be erected by attaching legs to a mount on which a photo is fixed, or by pulling out supporting legs that have been punched out in advance. There is.

(Technical Issues) However, there were problems such as the processing and attachment of the legs was cumbersome and difficult to use, and the camera was prone to falling over when the photographic surface was tilted.

The object of the present invention is to provide a photo stand that is not only troublesome to use, but also easy to manufacture and has very good stability when standing upright.

(Technical means) The purpose is to provide flat plates 1 and 2 having substantially symmetrical shapes on the left and right sides.
is a double-page photo stand that is foldably connected to the central axis 3, and is connected to the central axis 3 so that the central axis 3 is inclined outward when the stand is placed on a flat surface. This is achieved by having the lower sides 4, 5 inclined at obtuse angles so that the facing surfaces 6, 7 are inclined outward.

(Example) To explain the following with reference to the drawings, the photo stand S illustrated in FIG. It was made possible. Since both flat plates 1 and 2 are parallelograms, when the stand S is erected on a flat surface, the angle formed by the lower sides 4 and 5 of both left and right flat plates 1 and 2 and the central axis 3 should be an obtuse angle. , and the central axis 3 is inclined outward by an angle α from the perpendicular V passing through the lower end 3' of the bend. Therefore, the facing surfaces 6 and 7 are similarly inclined, making it very easy to see both sides (see FIG. 2), which is also one of the remarkable effects of the stand of the present invention.

It is up to you how much to incline from the perpendicular V, but in principle, when the stand S is erected with the lower sides 4 and 5 touching the plane H, the center of gravity G of the entire stand is
can be determined within a range that does not exceed the perpendicular line V. The position of the center of gravity G is the opening angle β of the left and right flat plates 1 and 2
As it expands, it approaches the perpendicular line V and eventually collapses, so the shape is determined by considering the expected opening angle. When the side shape is an oblong quadrilateral as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is very stable in terms of stability, but the shape is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible as shown in FIGS. Figure 3 is an example of a vertically long parallelogram, Figure 4 is an example of a vertically long rectangle in which the entire length of the lower sides 4 and 5 is inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the central axis 3, and Figure 5 is a vertically long rectangle. This is an example in which the lower sides 4 and 5 of a part of the book are inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the axis of symmetry 3, and the shape is closest to that of a normal photo book.

The illustrated flat plates 1 and 2 are made up of a cover 11 and a decorative paper 12, and the decorative paper 12 is made up of a plurality of layers a, b, and c having different colored parts, and the different colored part b has an opening 8 in the shape of a frame. It is shaped like a border. Further, a spacer 13 is interposed between the cover 11 and the decorative paper 12 to provide a photo insertion portion 9, so that the photo can be inserted through the insertion opening 10 on the side.
Due to the above structure, the flat plates 1 and 2 are integral paper plates that are continuous at the symmetry axis 3 and form a folded portion 14 that can be folded to open and close.

(Function) In the photo stand S configured as described above, the left and right flat plates 1 and 2 are opened, a photo is inserted into the insertion portion 9 between the cover 11 and the decorative paper 12 through each insertion opening 10, and the photo is set in the opening 8. , it is used standing up on a flat surface H, such as a tabletop.

At this time, the left and right flat plates 1 and 2 are erected with their lower sides 4 and 5 in contact with the plane H, and are stabilized in a state where they are opened at an appropriate angle β, so that the facing surfaces 6 and 7 are opened in an inclined position. There is. Therefore, the facing surfaces 6 and 7 are close to perpendicular to the line of sight, and the ease of viewing is significantly improved compared to conventional photo books that stand upright.

In addition, compared to conventional photo books, two-page spread 6,
7 is tilted at an angle that is easy to see, so it can be used as a stand just by standing it up, and it does not create a strange feeling.

(Effects) The present invention is constructed and operates as described above, and the left and right flat plates 1 and 2 can be simply opened with the center axis 3 as a boundary and stand upright with the lower sides 4 and 5 in contact with the flat surface, which eliminates the trouble of use. It has no problems at all, has excellent stability when standing upright, and is extremely easy to manufacture.
It has remarkable effects such as being inexpensive and suitable for mass production.
