Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A map device that can be assembled and disassembled is provided with decoration so that it can be used as an interior. [Structure] Regarding a removable map device in which a figure of a country or a local government is used as individual parts, these parts 11 and a substrate 10 having a recess 12 into which the parts are fitted are formed by pressing metal plates. Each component 11 is formed in a sectional shape in which the peripheral edge projects downward so as to contact the recess 12 only at the peripheral edge, and the adhesive means 14 is provided on the back surface thereof. Further, a small hole 15 is formed in the recess 12 for pushing out the adhered component 11 from the back side.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a removable map device made of metal.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, a map device has been conventionally known in which prefectures are represented by figures and parts that allow adjacent prefectures to engage with each other are combined to form a map of Japan. However, the conventional ones are made for the purpose of toys or teaching, and because they are made of paper or plastic, they are cheap and unsuitable for interiors.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention was made by paying attention to the above points, and the problem is that it represents prefectures, countries, etc. as graphic parts, and the map device in which each part is combined with each other is puzzle-like and teaching-friendly. At the same time, it has a decorative and aesthetic appeal that allows it to be thinly and simply made of metal and used as an interior.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a detachable map device in which a figure of a country or a local government is used as individual parts, and the recesses of the parts and the board are formed by a press for a metal plate, Is a cross-sectional shape in which the peripheral edge projects downward so that each peripheral edge only comes into contact with the recess at each peripheral edge, and each component is bonded with an adhesive or adhesive so that it adheres to the recess at the peripheral edge. The means is provided on the lower surface of each component, and a small hole for pushing each component out from the back is formed in the recess.

【Example】

 The drawings are examples of map devices for the Japanese archipelago. Therefore, the prefectures that make up Japan are formed as 47 parts 11, and the recesses 12 into which the parts 11 are fitted are provided on the substrate 10 in the shape of the Japanese Islands.

The substrate 10 is made of a rectangular metal plate that is set to a size that can accommodate the Japanese Islands of a predetermined scale. The metal plate has a thickness of 1 mm in the case of a 20 cm square, for example, and has a strength that does not allow easy bending, and a recess 12 for fitting each component is formed on the surface by press molding to a certain depth. It was formed in. Therefore, a protrusion due to the recess 12 appears on the back surface. Further, the illustrated substrate 10 has a mirror-finished surface so that a reflection effect can be obtained, a quality feeling is enhanced, and a decorative property is provided.

Among the 47 parts 11, adjacent prefectures are formed by press-molding one by one such that they engage with each other at the prefectural border. When this component 11 is fitted in the recess 12 formed in the substrate 10, the component 11 contacts the recess 12 at each of the peripheral edges 13, and the parts other than the peripheral edge project downward so as not to contact the recess 12 and the upper surface is upward. It is formed in the shape of an arc protruding toward the bottom (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Each component 11 is also formed by pressing a metal plate, but the metal plate may be thinner than the plate thickness of the substrate 10 and has a plate thickness similar to the depth of the recess 12. Therefore, the part 11 projects from the substrate surface 19 by the amount of the arc-shaped projection.

Each of the components 11 is provided with a contact means 14 on the back surface so that the component 11 does not drop when the substrate 10 is tilted while being fitted in the recess 12. A so-called double-sided adhesive tape is used as an example of the contact means 14. It is convenient in the process to attach the tape to the back surface of the metal plate before pressing and press-molding as it is, and it is possible to give the above-mentioned arc-shaped cross-sectional shape.

In order to remove the component 11 adhered at the peripheral edge portion 13, small holes 15 that allow extrusion from the back side of the substrate 11 are formed in the recess 12 of the multiple substrate 11. Normally, one small hole 15 is provided at the position of each component 11, but in the case of a small ground map device as in the embodiment, a small hole 15 'is formed across the prefectural border and the others are omitted. You can do so (see Figure 2).

By combining the transparent sheet 20 to be superposed on the surface of the substrate 10 having the above-mentioned structure, matters 21 relating to required places on the map can be additionally written as information. This item 21 is, for example, the name of a prefecture, and various other matters such as the blossoming front of cherry blossoms and the front of autumn leaves. In the case of a prefecture name, etc., the necessary indicating line 22 is also shown.

Further, the substrate 10 and the see-through sheet 20 are fitted in a frame-shaped edge frame 25 in order to fix them in a stacked state. A step portion 26 that supports the peripheral edge of the substrate 10 is provided on the inner periphery of the edge frame 25. The edge frame 25 is engaged with a support portion 29 formed on the pedestal 30 so as to lean against it. The support portion 29 is a groove into which the lower end portion of the edge frame 25 can be inserted. The pedestal 30 has an outer shape and a design suitable for a map device having a metallic luster. The example is made of wooden planks.

The device of the present invention configured as described above becomes a puzzle about fitting 47 parts 11 into the recesses 12 of the substrate 10 and is used as a learning tool, and in combination with the perspective sheet 20. Information is added to the map device, and a function to display learning effects and information about the combination of the information with the map device is added. Then, by leaning against the pedestal 30, a decorative effect due to a unique mirror finish or metallic luster is exhibited.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention is constructed and operates as described above, and since it is a map device that combines graphic parts, it has puzzle and instructional characteristics, and at the same time it is a simple decoration because it is made of a metal plate. The effects and unique aesthetics can be obtained, and the combination of figures and information can be used as a display device for information in various regions. In addition, although a map of Japan is shown in the examples, it is possible to spread this map to East Asia and further to the whole world to make parts such as countries, or conversely, to make parts such as municipalities in prefectures into parts, Of course, the use of regions as parts is also included in the present invention.
