Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display panel holder for displaying an advertisement or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of display panel holder has a frame for holding the display panel and a base for supporting the frame. Both the frame and the base are made of metal. Most of them are made of wood or wood, and the attachment between the frame and the base is screwed.

The display panel is usually formed in a rectangular shape, and a frame for holding the display panel is also formed in a rectangular shape, and the lower end thereof is screwed to a base. Or it is usual to use only one of the horizontal type. Therefore, the fixing means for screwing is formed only on either the vertical side or the horizontal side of the frame. For this reason, for example, when it is desired to employ a variety of display modes, such as using a vertical frame body horizontally, another frame body must be prepared.

[0004] In addition, the mounting of the vertical display frame and the base is as follows.
Since it is usually screwed, when using this vertical display frame as it is and trying to change to the horizontal display mode, the user opens the screw hole on the side of the frame and uses it. There was a problem that the change work became complicated.
In the first place, since the screwing operation itself between the frame and the base is complicated, the appearance of a display plate holder that can omit the screwing operation and has a firm mounting structure is desired.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and, by utilizing the length and width of the frame, can adopt a plurality of mounting modes with one display panel holder. The first object is to provide a display holder capable of displaying a rich display.
It is the purpose of.

It is a second object of the present invention to provide a display panel holder which can eliminate complicated operations such as screwing operation.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a frame having a frame shape for holding a display panel for protecting and decorating the display panel, and a base for detachably mounting and supporting the frame. The mounting position of the frame body with respect to the base can be changed by forming a plurality of sets of mounted portions on the frame body.

Here, the shape of the frame is not limited to a polygon such as a rectangle, a pentagon or a hexagon, but may be a circle or the like. A plurality of sets of attached portions formed on the frame body may be provided in a plurality of sets according to the shape.For example, when the frame body is rectangular, the usage mode is vertical and horizontal,
What is necessary is just to form a to-be-attached part on a vertical side and a horizontal side, respectively. As a result, the vertical and horizontal use modes can be realized as the display modes, and a variety of displays can be performed.

[0009] In this case, the formation position of the attached portion is as follows.
It may be at the periphery or the center of the frame, but is preferably formed around the frame in consideration of attachment to the base.

The material of the frame is not limited, such as metal, wooden or synthetic resin. However, in the case of metal, it is desirable to use stainless steel in consideration of corrosion resistance and the like. Further, in consideration of weight reduction, those made of synthetic resin are more preferable than those made of metal.

The structure of the frame body is not particularly limited as long as it has a display window on at least one surface and can hold the display panel. Therefore, for example, a frame is composed of a front frame and a back frame, and a structure for holding a display plate therebetween, a structure for holding a display plate between a front frame and a back plate, and Any structure such as a structure in which the display panel is held by a frame and mounting claws provided around the back side thereof may be used. However, in the case of advertisement display or the like, there is a risk of theft, so a frame structure including a front frame and a back frame or a frame structure including a front frame and a back plate is desirable. In this case, the frame itself may have either a front-back integrated structure or a separate structure. When the frame body is integrated front and back, an opening through which the display board can intervene is formed on the left or right side or upper side of the frame body, and at least a part or all of the bottom is closed, thereby adopting a structure of the display board. The intervention holding function and the fall prevention function can be simultaneously exhibited.

When the front and back of the frame are formed separately,
This is advantageous in that the display board can be easily intervened. In this case, the display plate is held by joining the front frame and the back frame or the back plate. As the joining means on the front and back of the frame body, any of joining means using screws or means for integrally forming engagement means between the front frame and the back frame or the back plate can be adopted. Screws are more advantageous in that the mold structure is simpler considering the manufacturing costs of the body,
In consideration of the joining operation, the engagement means integrally formed on the front and back frames or the like is more advantageous.

The display window of the frame can adopt either a structure in which a transparent plate is attached to the window frame or a structure in which no transparent plate is used. If the display panel itself has weather resistance, the advertising function can be sufficiently exhibited even with a structure using no transparent plate at all.

The display panel has a surface on which character information, pictograms or photographs are displayed and printed, or a LE.
Although the concept includes any of electronic displays using D, LCD, etc., the present invention is applied to a form printed and displayed on a display surface in consideration of the technical significance of changing the display form to, for example, a vertical type or a horizontal type. It is preferable to apply

The base is to be installed on a road surface, on a vending machine, or on an installation table such as a store counter. The installation means may be a direct installation, a screw fastening, or a suction means such as a magnet. Can be adopted. Considering the stability in such an installation form,
The larger the bottom installation surface is, the better. In addition, as the frame support structure of the base, a structure that supports either the top, the center, or the bottom of the frame can be adopted. However, considering the compactness of the base, only the bottom of the frame is supported. The structure is preferred.

As the frame support structure of the base, any structure such as a plug-in structure, a screwing means, a suction means such as a magnet, or an engaging means using a pin can be adopted. Considering the above, it is preferable to use the pin engaging means. However, in the case of the support structure by pin engagement, it is assumed that the frame body comes off by natural force, and therefore, the structure must be firmly attached.

Therefore, in the present invention, the following configuration is adopted in order to easily mount the frame and maintain a firm mounting state. That is, in the present invention, there is provided mounting means for supporting the frame so that it cannot be pulled out of the base, and the mounting means includes a large-diameter hole formed in one of the base and the frame, and A keyhole-shaped mounting hole formed of a communicating pin-holding hole, a mounting pin formed on the other side and engageable with the pin-holding hole, and a retaining head fixed to a tip of the mounting pin and having a diameter smaller than the large-diameter hole; By inserting the retaining head into the large-diameter hole, the mounting pin can be easily retained by simply moving the mounting pin to the holding hole side. It is possible to easily remove the frame simply by moving the frame to the side, and to provide a frame that can be easily attached and detached.

Further, in the present invention, a pin retaining small protrusion is formed on at least one of both side surfaces of the pin holding hole,
By adopting a structure in which a notch hole for allowing the small protrusion to be elastically resiliently deformable is formed close to the small protrusion, when the mounting pin is inserted into the pin holding hole, the small protrusion is formed. Since the portion is elastically deformed and intervenes in the pin holding hole, it is possible to provide a display plate holder which can be prevented from falling out of the mounting hole even when a natural force acts.

In this case, if the pin length of the mounting pin is set to the same size corresponding to the width of the engaging portion of the frame, the frame is sandwiched between the retaining head and the wall surface of the base. Even if the height of the base is low, it is possible to prevent the frame body from falling back and forth. The width of the engaging portion is set to the width of the frame when, for example, the mounting holes are formed through the front and back frames, and the width of the back frame when the mounting holes are formed only in the back frame. It is preferable to set. The structure in which the mounting holes are formed only in the back frame has an excellent appearance because the engaging means cannot be seen from the surface.

In order to prevent the frame from falling back and forth, it is preferable to use both the pin engaging structure and the plug-in structure as a supporting structure for the frame. In this case, it is preferable to form an insertion wall composed of a rear wall and a front wall sandwiching the frame, set the front wall lower than the rear wall, and form a mounting hole or a mounting pin on the rear wall side. It is.

In consideration of the material of the frame or base that enables the small projections to be elastically deformed, it is desirable that they be made of a synthetic resin or metal member that can be easily elastically deformed. In addition, the attachment of the frame body to the base by the pin engagement is not limited to the case where it is applied to a plurality of sets of attached parts whose display form can be changed. Of course, it can be applied to mounting.
