Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Technical Field This invention relates to table-top tools such as a table-top mirror, a photo frame, and a table clock that are placed on a table or the like in the home.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventional desk mirrors generally have a circular or rectangular picture frame hinged at approximately the center of the side surface and supported at both ends by a support frame (for example, Jikkosho's
54-31108). In addition, some stand mirrors with a tray-shaped base are equipped with a hinge shaft at the bottom of the back of the frame so that the angle of use can be obtained by tilting the mirror surface backwards. −180321). Furthermore, as in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-15963, the rectangular base and picture frame are connected to each other by a U-shaped support frame so that they can be folded into a Z shape, and the picture frame can be slid against the upper side of the support frame. Some have been made to support it.

Problems that the invention aims to solve When the picture frame is supported at both ends, as in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-31108, the support frame stands up on both sides of the mirror, making it difficult to adjust the angle. It has drawbacks such as being an obstacle when placing things, and having an old-fashioned image that lacks novelty.

Utility Model Application No. 59-180321 does not have the above-mentioned drawbacks, but the picture frame is often tilted backwards, which tends to limit the space where it can be placed in the center of a desk. On the other hand, the mirror disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-15963, in which the picture frame is supported by a U-shaped support frame, does not have the inconvenience of the former because the support part is biased to one side.
The support frame is made to stand up diagonally from the rear or front edge of the base, and the picture frame, which is supported at an upward angle, is tilted further upwards in order to obtain the desired angle of use. It is time-consuming and inconvenient to use. In addition, this mirror can be folded by inserting the upper and lower sides of the U-shaped support frame into bearings protruding from the base and frame, respectively. This has the drawback that the bearing parts, which are most avoided in instruments, tend to loosen and become unusable, and in addition, each bearing part is visible on the outside when in use, lacking in smartness and aesthetics, making it difficult to commercialize.

For this reason, it is important to make this type of tabletop, such as a desk lamp, so that it does not feel out of place no matter where it is placed on the desk, maintains harmony in the room, and is highly durable. desired in utensils.

Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, in the present invention, the base part, which is formed to be horizontally long with respect to the front, is parallel to the axis of the base part from one side to the top surface, and has a length that is equal to the width and thickness of the support part. A flat fitting part with a wide bottom is provided, and a support part that fits tightly into this fitting part and stands upright, and an inner part of the support part with the same thickness and height as this support part. A picture frame formed in a rectangular shape with one side along the side and the other side parallel to the other side of the base is attached to both sides of the upper end of both members and the joint of both members. , a bearing part having a common shaft hole and each having a cylindrical fitting part is provided, and the bearing part is rotatably and tightly fitted in the cylindrical fitting part at one of the joining parts of both members, and is pressure-welded in the axial direction. A friction washer is fitted into each cylindrical fitting part, a hinge shaft with a head is inserted from one of the bearing parts at both ends, and a screw hole is provided at the tip of the hinge shaft. and a set screw inserted from the other bearing part are screwed together to provide a table-top tool such as a table-top mirror, in which a picture frame is rotatably attached to a support part.

Function The tabletop utensil of the present invention configured as described above has a support section erected on one side of the base, and can be rotated by hinged one side of the upper end of the picture frame along the side of the fixed support section. Since it is attached to the frame, it does not get in the way when other items are placed on the table, and the angle at which the frame is used can be easily changed. The hinge shaft and set screw, which rotatably connect the picture frame to the column, are joined together with friction washers in the cylindrical fitting part attached to each bearing, so the bearing is hardly visible on the outside and the screw is tightened. It is strong and at the same time highly durable against rotation.

In addition, the joint between the frame and the support is rotatably fitted tightly into the cylindrical fitting, and is held by the fit between the cylindrical joint and the cylindrical fitting, which press against each other in the axial direction. , The picture frame can rotate smoothly, and the durability of the bearing part is also improved.

In the present invention, the picture frame and the support section are made up of two parts: a front member and a back member, each of which is joined at a peripheral edge.
The bearing portion is configured by a molded body divided into members, and the hinge shaft and the set screw are inserted into the bearing portion,
Latch claws formed so as to be alternately overlapped on the same axis at both ends of the front member and the back member, and elastically engaged with edges of the front member and the back member facing each other. The one provided with the engaging recessed portion has the advantage that the bearing portion of the hinge shaft can be easily formed and strengthened.

In the present invention, a semi-cylindrical shape is formed in series with the bearing portions of the front member and the back member, and when the front member and the back member are combined, the head of the hinge shaft and the stopper together with the friction washer are formed. A structure in which the depth of the cylindrical fitting part is formed so that the head of the screw and the joint part are fitted to each other facilitates the formation of a reinforcing structure for the bearing part and is not visible on the external appearance. It has the excellent effect of not having

In the present invention, the base part fixes the support part by screwing a set screw inserted through a screw hole provided in the bottom face of the fitting part into a nut provided in the bottom face of the support part, and fixes the support part. A bottom plate with a weight is fitted and screwed to the bottom plate, and the weight is fixed between the bottom plate and a screw seat hanging down from the back surface of the fitting part and the back surface of the pedestal part. Since the bottom plate is fixed together with a weight that strengthens the connection of the support to the support and stabilizes the tool, there is no need for special efforts to prevent wobbling, which is extremely advantageous in terms of manufacturing and use. be.

As described above, the present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the prior art.
