Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display tool capable of freely displaying a long object such as a hanging scroll, a tapestry and a piece of cloth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, the above long objects are displayed in a suspended state by hanging the upper end on the wall of the exhibition room.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional display method, there is a problem that it is difficult to produce an effective display because the display method is flattened along the wall surface. Further, when the display object is hung on the wall surface, if the user tries to look at the back side of the display object for the purpose of determining the item, there is a possibility that the display object may be soiled or scratched because it needs to be touched and turned directly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the purpose thereof is, first of all, a display exhibiting a variety of exhibitions which has never been possible, and secondly, a long product which can be folded easily and compactly. Providing exhibits.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has two articulated members, each of which is formed by connecting a plurality of links in a bendable manner, side by side, and the links intersect each other in an X shape. The pivot point at which the intersection point is attached, and thus the column can be expanded and contracted in the height direction, the lock member that can restrain the movement of the link of the column, the latching member provided on the upper part of the column, and the column. Provide a long object display tool consisting of a supporting base.

[0006]

In the state before use, the multi-joint member is folded in a zigzag state as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 to fold the column compactly. When the column is pulled up in this state, the joint portion of the multi-joint member rotates and the whole extends, so that the movement of the link is restrained by the lock member when the height reaches a predetermined height.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, since the support pillars are fixed in the extended state, the display object is locked to the hanging member and suspended. Since the display can be supported on the base without falling down, it can be installed anywhere, so the display can be placed anywhere in the room. Therefore, a three-dimensional effect which has never been achieved is possible. In addition, by placing a decoration that also serves as a weight on the base, it is possible to give more variety of effects.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The display tool 1 is composed of a stretchable support column 2 and a base 3 for supporting the support column 2. The support column 2 has two multi-joint members 4 formed by bendingly connecting three links 4a to 4c side by side, and links 4b, 4b, 4c, 4c other than the lowermost links 4a, 4a. Are crossed in an X shape and the intersections are axially attached, and are extendable and contractible in the height direction as shown in FIGS.

A lock member 5 is provided on the column 2. There are a total of four lock members 5 at the joints of the links 4a and 4b and the joints of the links 4b and 4c. The lock member 5, as shown in FIG.
A through hole 5 formed by integrally projecting a screw shaft 5a from the upper part of a (4b) and drilling the screw shaft 5a in the lower part of the link 4b (4c).
The structure is such that it is passed through b and tightened with a nut 5c. With such a structure, by tightening the nut 5c of the lock member 5, the joint portions of the links 4a (4b) and 4b (4c) are crimped and fixed, and the movements of all the links 4a to 4c are completely restrained. In addition, the pillar 2 has a link 4 at the top.
A rivet-shaped hooking member 6 is integrally provided on the tip of the shaft for stopping the intersection of c and 4c.

On the other hand, the base 3 has a flat rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a concave portion 7 formed at the rear of the bottom surface so that the center of gravity is offset toward the front, and further two bearing plates 8 are provided on the upper surface at the rear. The lower ends of the links 4c, 4c of the pillar 2 are pivotally attached to the bearing plates 8, 8.

Since the display 1 of the present invention is constructed as described above, if the nuts 5c of all the lock members 5 are loosened, the support columns 2 can be folded in a small and compact manner as shown by the solid line in FIG. .

Next, when the display tool 1 is used, the support 2
Then, the links 4c, 4c are lifted up and the nuts 5c of all the lock members 5 are tightened at an appropriate height. As a result, all the links 4a to 4c of the multi-joint member 4 are completely fixed, and the column 2 is stabilized in a stretched state as shown by the solid line in FIG.
Then, a hanging shaft 9 or the like is hung on the hanging member 6 of the pillar 2 for display. After the display is finished, the pillar 2 can be easily folded simply by loosening the nut 5c of the lock member 5, so that the pillar 2 can be stored and transported in the folded state.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and for example, the configurations described in the following items can be adopted. It is most preferable that the locking member 5 completely locks the four joint portions from the viewpoint of the stability of the support column 2, but it is also possible to lock only one of the joint portions. Of course, it is also possible to lock only two or three joints. If the number of lock parts is small, the workability is improved. The lock member 5 may be provided at the intersections of the links 4b, 4b or the links 4c, 4c other than the joint portion. The lock member 5 may apply a combination structure of a ratchet wheel and a claw as shown in FIG. That is, a claw wheel 5d is formed on the crown of one link 4a, and a claw 5e is axially attached to the corresponding side surface of the link 4b.
A spring (not shown) urges e to rotate toward the ratchet wheel 5d. By doing so, the claw 5e swings along the tooth shape of the claw wheel 5d with respect to the direction in which the strut 2 is extended,
The claw 5e engages with the claw wheel 5d to lock all the links 4a to 4c with respect to the direction in which the column 2 contracts. In addition,
When the column 2 is contracted, the lock can be released by manually rotating the claw 5e against the bias of the spring. As shown in FIG. 6, the lock member 5 may be configured such that the links are connected and fixed by the beam members 5f. That is, the pins 5g and 5g are provided on the back sides of the joints of the links 4a and 4b, and the links 4b and 4c, respectively, and the notches 5h of the beam member 5f are engaged with the pins 5g and 5g, respectively. It is handed over between them. As shown in FIG. 6, by providing a plurality of cutouts 5h in the beam member 5f, the interval between the links can be changed as appropriate, so the column 2
The height can be adjusted. Further, since the beam member 5f projects to both sides of the support column 2 to perform a steadying action of the hanging shaft 9 and the like, it is possible to enhance the stability of the exhibit. The beam member 5f may be replaced with a tension member 5j having key portions 5i, 5i formed at both ends. In this case, the punch holes 5k are formed in the links 4a to 4c, and the punch holes 5k are formed.
The key portions 5i, 5i of the tension member 5j are engaged with k. The height of the column 2 can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the punch holes 5k to be engaged. Further, the punch holes 5k are provided in the link, which also contributes to weight reduction. The tension member 5j may be a rod of metal, wood, or synthetic resin that can withstand both compression and tension, or may be a string or chain that is durable only for tension. The number of links of the multi-joint member 4 may be any number. As shown in FIG. 8, the bearing plate 8 on the base 3 is formed so as to be laid down so that the folded column 2 can be folded on the upper surface of the base 3. That is, the hinge plate 10 is interposed between the bearing plate 8 and the base 3 to allow the bearing plate 8 to fall forward. Then, the support plates 11 and 11 are hinged to both sides of the bearing plate 8,
The support plates 11 and 11 are projected forward of the bearing plate 8 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 8 and fixed in a standing posture. If such a configuration is adopted, the folded support column 2 can be folded over the upper surface of the base 3, and thus can be stored and transported in a more compact form. All the links 4a to 4c of the multi-joint member 4 may be formed as a set of two as shown in FIG. By doing so, the rigidity of the column 2 can be dramatically increased.

[0014]

As described above, according to the display tool of the present invention, the pillar can be expanded and contracted by restraining and releasing the link with the lock member, so that it can be folded compactly and easily stored and transported. . Also, since the columns can be easily assembled by pulling them up, the display work can be performed extremely efficiently. Then, exhibition tool, since it can be installed anywhere in order to be supported without having to fall in the base, it is possible to arrange the exhibits to free place in the room. Therefore, a three-dimensional effect which has never been achieved is possible.
It should be noted that by placing a decorative object that also serves as a weight on the base, there are many excellent effects such as a more varied effect.
