Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a book card holder suitable for holding a large number of book cards.

B. Prior Art Conventionally, as a holder for this type of card, etc., there is a bookshelf catalog shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this bookshelf catalog consists of a cover 1 hung on the side wall of the bookshelf and a card holder 2 attached to this cover.A transparent plate 3 is attached to the front of the cover to hold cards. The holder is located behind this transparent plate, and a large number of card insertion pieces 4 are provided in the vertical direction on the front surface of the holder. The lower end of this card insertion piece is bent into a U-shape to form an insertion part for the card 5, and by inserting the lower end of the card into this, a large number of cards can be placed in the card holder. The name of the book, etc. is written on the card. However, in such a conventional structure, the cards are inserted into the card insertion piece, and between adjacent cards, the lower part of the upper card overlaps the upper part of the lower card, so if cards with different dimensions are used, , there was a possibility that the written part of the card would be hidden. Furthermore, since the insertion piece has little flexibility, it is difficult to insert the card depending on its thickness.

There are some holders that hold both sides of the card, but since the holding part has little flexibility (elasticity), when holding cards of different thickness, the holding part deforms to accommodate the thick card, so it is difficult to hold the card on both sides. The disadvantage was that it could not hold.

To improve this point, the prior art also provides card holders as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which this improved card holder is applied to a bookshelf catalog. The bookshelf catalog of this embodiment includes a cover 10 and two card holders 11, 11' attached to the cover. The cover has a passage 12 for inserting the card holder 11, 11', and this passage is open at one end, for example, the lower end as shown in the figure, and the card holder 11, 11' is inserted through this opening and the passage 12
The holders are attached to the cover by snapping into the cover.

The cover 10 is attached to the side surface of the bookshelf, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, by suitable attachment means.

The card holders 11 and 11' have a similar configuration, and each card holder includes a base plate 20 and a card holder 21 provided along both sides of the base plate. This card holder has an arm 22. One end of this arm is fixed to the edge of the board via a block 23, extends inward from the board at a distance from the board surface, and is approximately parallel to this surface, and a presser body 24 is attached to its free end. There is. This presser body has an inverted triangular shape, as best shown in FIG. In other words, the bottom of this triangle is fixed to the arm, and its apex faces the substrate. The arm has sufficient elasticity, so that the presser body is always pressed against the substrate by the elasticity of the arm. The interval between the presser bodies on both sides of the card holder is set smaller than the width of the card, etc. 30 to be held. Therefore, a card or the like can be held between the presser body and the substrate by sliding it between the presser body and the substrate in a slightly bent state as shown by the dotted line in FIG. (shown in solid line in Figure 4). In this case, since the presser body is provided with the inclined surface 24a, a card or the like can be smoothly inserted between the presser body and the board.

The card holder also has stoppers 35, which are provided on both sides of the board 20 and are positioned so that the card, etc. (solid line in Figure 4) inserted into the holder does not move laterally. (See Figure 4).

In the illustrated embodiment, the substrate 20 is made of a transparent material such as acrylic resin, and therefore the card holder 1
After inserting and setting the card in 1 and 11',
By inserting these card holders into the insertion passage 12 of the cover 10 as shown in FIG. 4, they can be used as a bookshelf catalog.

Incidentally, reference numeral 36 is a handle provided at the lower end of the card holder 11, 11', and this handle is used when taking the card holder in and out of the cover.

According to these card holders 11 and 11', the structure is such that a card, etc. can be easily held by simply sliding it into the card holding part, and since the arm supporting the presser body has sufficient elasticity, it is possible to easily hold a card, etc., by simply sliding it into the card holder. It has the practical benefit of being able to securely hold the sheath regardless of its thickness.

However, in the card holders 11 and 11' shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when the card 30 is inserted or removed, the elastic arm 22 of the card holding section 21
is susceptible to excessive flexing, which may cause its arm to break or, during long-term use, to become insufficiently resilient to hold the card reliably.

C. Means for solving the problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention
It is provided to provide arm support means on the outside of the elastic arm 22 to prevent excessive flexing of the arm.

The arm support means according to the present invention includes, for example,
It would consist of a plate placed parallel to the outside of the arm 22 with a gap between the arm 22 and the elastic arm 22 to allow for the bending of the elastic arm 22 for insertion of the card 30.

D. Embodiment FIGS. 6 and 7 show an embodiment of the present invention. According to the present invention, the elastic arm 22 of the card holding part 21
An arm support means, more specifically an arm support plate 40, is provided on the outside of the arm to prevent excessive bending of this arm.
will be provided.

One end of the arm support plate 40 is fixed onto the fixed end of the arm 22, and a gap 41 is provided between the arm 22 and the arm to allow the arm 22 to bend when a card is inserted. and extends toward the free end of the arm. This extension length is preferably
The free end of 0 will be above the presser foot 24.

A gap 41 is formed between the fixed end of the support plate 41 and the arm 2.
Insert a spacer of appropriate thickness between the
Alternatively, it could be provided by making the support plate as a part with an L-shaped cross section with a spacer section.

E. Effects of the Invention By providing the arm support plate 40 as described above, excessive bending of the elastic arm 22 can be prevented, and therefore damage to the arm or nullification of its elasticity can be avoided.
