Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a folding stand for a case in which, for example, a front portion of a case of various devices can be lifted and obliquely supported.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, such a folding stand for a case is constructed as shown in FIG. 4, for example. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the case folding stand 1 includes a stand body 4 that can be housed during folding in a recess 3 provided in the case bottom surface 2.

The stand body 4 has shaft portions 5 and 6 (see FIG. 5) protruding laterally from both side surfaces of its front end, and correspondingly provided on inner wall surfaces on both sides of the recessed portion 3. By being fitted in the bearing part (not shown) provided, it is rotatably supported from the housed position (shown by the solid line) to the drawn-out position (shown by the chain line).

Further, in order to firmly hold the stand body 4 with respect to the bottom surface 2 of the case in a snap manner at the storage position and the withdrawal position (or the intermediate position in some cases) of the stand body 4, A plurality of position-determining grooves 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b are provided on the peripheral surfaces of the shaft portions 5, 6 of the main body 4, respectively.

By inserting the indexing bush 8 provided on the bottom surface 2 of the case and urged by the spring 7 into any one of the grooves 5a, 5b and 6a, 6b, the indexing bush 8 is formed. By engaging in the groove 5a or 5b, 6a or 6b, the stand body 4 can be held in the housing position, the drawing position or the intermediate position with respect to the case bottom surface 2.

[0006]

However, according to the folding stand for a case 1 configured as described above, the indexing bush 8 and the spring 7 are used for indexing the position of the stand body 4. It is necessary to mount the indexing bush 8 and the spring 7 in the bottom surface 2 of the case by an appropriate means. Therefore, the structure is complicated and the number of parts is large, resulting in high parts cost and assembly cost. There was a problem that it would end up.

In view of the above points, the present invention has an object to provide a folding stand for a case, which has a simple structure and can reduce the cost.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, according to the present invention, a shaft portion protruding laterally from both side surfaces of one end of a recessed portion provided on a bottom surface of a case is a bearing provided on an inner wall surface of the recessed portion. The stand main body is rotatably supported from the housed position to the drawn-out position by being fitted in the inside of the case, and the case is integrally formed of an elastic material and is substantially formed with respect to the bottom surface of the case. In parallel, an indexing plate extending to the vicinity of the axis of rotation of the stand body is included, and the tip of the indexing plate bends upward or downward, so that the position provided on the stand body or the shaft portion thereof. Achieved by a folding stand for a case, characterized in that the stand body can be fixedly held at least in the accommodation position and the withdrawal position by elastically fitting in the indexing groove. It is.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, the position indexing of the stand body is performed by the indexing plate integrally formed with the case, and the tip of the indexing plate is positioned within the indexing groove portion of the stand body by utilizing the elasticity of the indexing plate itself. Since it is designed to be pressed against, parts such as separate indexing bushes and springs are not required, so the number of parts is reduced, and the parts cost and assembly cost can be reduced with a simple configuration.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a folding stand for a case according to the present invention.

The case folding stand 10 includes a stand body 13 that can be housed in a recess 12 provided in the case bottom surface 11 when the case is folded.

The stand body 13 has shaft portions 14 and 15 (see FIG. 2) protruding laterally from both side surfaces of the front end thereof, and correspondingly provided on inner wall surfaces on both sides of the recessed portion 12. By being fitted into the bearing part (not shown) provided, it is rotatably supported from the housed position (shown by the solid line) to the pull-out position (shown by the chain line).

Further, in order to fix the stand body 13 to the bottom surface 11 of the case in a snap manner at the accommodation position and the withdrawal position (or the intermediate position in some cases) of the stand body 13, In the area between the shaft portions 14 and 15 of the stand body 13, a plurality of groove portions 13a and 13b for position indexing are provided on the cylindrical peripheral surface thereof, and the groove portions 13a and 13b respectively The stand body 13 is arranged so as to face upward when the stand body 13 is in the storage position and the pull-out position.

The above-described structure is similar to the conventional case folding stand 1 shown in FIG. 4, but in the case folding stand 10 according to the present invention, the case 11 is integrally formed of an elastic material. In addition, an indexing plate 16 is provided substantially parallel to the bottom surface 11 of the case and extends near the rotation axis of the stand body 13. The tip 16a of the indexing plate 16 is bent downward, so that the indexing plate 16 is elastically fitted into the position indexing groove 13a or 13b provided in the stand body 13.

The folding stand 10 for a case according to the present invention is configured as described above, and when the stand body 13 is in the storage position as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the tip of the indexing plate 16 is shown. 16a fits into the position indexing groove 13a of the stand body 13 based on its own elasticity, and the stand body 13 is housed in the recess 12 of the bottom surface 11 of the case. It can be held fixed.

Therefore, in this state, the case is supported horizontally, and even when the case is carried, the stand body 13 is rotated downward, so that the case can be moved outside the case. It doesn't stand out.

When the stand body 13 is in the pull-out position as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the tip 16a of the indexing plate 16 is indexed to the position of the stand body 13 based on its own elasticity. The stand body 13 can be fixedly held in a state of being pulled out from the recess 12 of the bottom surface 11 of the case because the stand body 13 is fitted into the groove portion 13b.

In this state, the front part of the case is supported by the stand body 13 projecting downward, so that the front part is diagonally supported with the front part raised. It will be.

In the above-described embodiment, the position indexing groove portions 13a and 13b are formed relatively large substantially in the center with respect to the direction of the rotation axis of the stand body 13, but as shown in FIG. The position indexing grooves 13a, 13b, 13'a, 13'b are formed near both ends with respect to the rotation shaft, and correspondingly, indexing plates 16, 16 'are similarly extended near both ends. Of course, in this case, the vicinity of the center of the rotary shaft is released, and it is possible to incorporate other mechanisms and the like.

Further, the indexing plate 16 extends upward with respect to the stand body 13, and the tip of the indexing plate 16 is bent downward so that the indexing plate 16 is fitted into the position indexing groove portions 13a, 13b. May extend downward with respect to the stand main body 13 and the tip thereof may be bent upward so that the stand main body 13 can be fitted into the corresponding position indexing groove portion. Is clear.
