Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to the invention of a foldable stand for placing containers on a shelf, and is a stand for appropriately supporting containers containing beer and other various beverages or liquids and facilitating their removal. To provide a stand which is foldable and has an attractive appearance, which facilitates handling during storage and transportation, and which can accurately form a stable support state for containers.

Beverages such as beer and other liquids are handled by storing them in containers, but if the capacity of such a container is so large that it cannot be handled easily with one hand, a separate container must be operated. Considering the circumstances, it is preferable to place the container on a stand and take it out.

In other words, a number of mounting stands have been proposed and put into practical use for this purpose, but most of them are fixed in an assembled state that cannot be deformed; Due to its completely consolidated structure, even if it has high strength and can be supported on a stable rack, it always requires a bulky form and volume, and cannot be used in factories or warehouses or during transportation. Both have the disadvantage of requiring a large amount of space for storage and storage when not in use in stores and the like.

The present invention was devised through research to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional products as described above, and allows for compact packaging as a foldable stand.
Furthermore, we have succeeded in obtaining a folding stand for mounting containers that does not require any nuts, pins, or other special auxiliary parts, and in addition, its assembled state is sufficiently stable and strong.

That is, to explain the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the attached drawings, the stand according to the present invention has a circumferential member 1, a container support plate 2, and a bottom holder 3, and the circumferential member 1 is separately shown in FIG. In this embodiment, as shown in the unfolded state, a plurality of plates 11 are connected by hinges 12 between their opposing sides, and these hinges 1
At least one of the connection parts 2 is provided with a notch 13 centered on the connection part, facing each other in each plate 11, and both ends of the parts connected in series by the hinge 12 are provided. A plurality of connecting protrusions 14, 14a each having a circular cross section are arranged so as to fit into each other with their phases shifted in the height direction, and one of the connecting protrusions 14 has a circular cross section. A rod 15 is vertically fixed, and a notch 16 for receiving the rod 15 is formed in the other connecting projection 14a along a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the plate 11.

As mentioned above, when assembling the plates 11 connected by the hinges 12, the support bar 17 for supporting the container support plate 2 described above is attached to the upper part of the inner surface.
- In the one shown in Figure 3, the mounting phases of the adjacent plates 11 of these support bars 17 in the height direction are appropriately shifted, and the plates 11 facing each other during assembly are at the same height level. The second
The holes are provided to prevent the support bars 17 from overlapping each other when the folded state shown in the figure is formed.

However, in order to correspond to the arrangement of the support bars 17, in the case shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the support step 21 on the bottom surface of the container support plate 2 is shown exploded in FIG. As shown, the opposite sides are at the same height, but the adjacent side is formed with a step corresponding to the phase difference of the support bar 17.
A receiving hole 20 is formed in the center of the support plate 2 to support the container 4 in an inverted state.

Further, the bottom holder 3 is a part that is to be fitted to the bottom of the above-mentioned circumferential member 1 assembled into a rectangular shape in a plane, and a folding wall 30 is provided around it. The folding wall 30 forms a dish shape and is fitted onto the bottom of the circumferential member 1 as described above by applying surface pressure on its circumferential surface.

The structures shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 described above can be implemented with appropriate modifications.

That is, first, the circumferential member 1 is modified as shown in FIG. 4, and a recessed portion 18 is formed at the top of each plate 11, and at least the connecting protrusions 14, 14a are made longer and shorter in the height direction. The difference can be adopted.

The concave portion 18 as described above does not particularly reduce the strength of the stand, and may expose substantially all of the side surface of the container 4 on which it is placed, thereby preventing trademarks or other markings on the side surface. The overall design of the container can be recognized.

Furthermore, making the connecting protrusions 14 partially longer reduces the number of connecting protrusions 14a that are to be engaged with the rod members 15 provided thereon, and makes it easier to engage and disengage them. Make it easy.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the crosspieces 17 are arranged at the same height level without taking steps as shown in FIGS. By appropriately selecting the attachment position of the two parts, it is possible to obtain a relationship that prevents them from overlapping when folded.

It is clear that when the crosspieces 17 are provided at the same height level as described above, the container support plate 2 may be simply a flat plate with no step at the bottom as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, a bent locking portion 22 that engages with the top edge of the circumferential member 11 is provided at the circumferential end of the container support plate 2 without providing a crosspiece on the inner surface of the circumferential member 1. It may also be a formed structure.

Regarding the bottom holder 3, instead of fitting the folding wall 30 inside the assembled circumferential member 1 as shown in FIG. 1, the folding wall 30a is fitted to the outside of the circumferential member. What may be done is as shown in FIG. 6, and in this case, as shown in FIG. .

By having the folding wall 30 fit on the outside of the circumferential member 1 in this way, the hinge portion is fixed, so that even if the stand carries a container 4 having a considerable weight, the assembled circumferential member It is possible to obtain sufficient strength.

To explain the operation of the device according to the present invention as described above, when the device is simply stored in a factory, warehouse, or store when not in use, or is transported or handled, the peripheral member 1 is as shown in FIG. It is true that it may be in the form of an unfolded flat plate or in a double folded state in which the plates 11 on both sides are folded back, and in such a case, it is assumed to be flat. Furthermore, the above 2
Hinge 12 located in the center of a folding item in a heavy state
It is clear that it can be folded into a very compact state by folding the parts as shown in Figure 2.
Since the container support plate 2 and the container support plate 2 are simply plate-shaped bodies, the whole can be handled compactly, and no extra space or space is required.

However, the assembly is as shown in Fig. 5, and the above-mentioned folded state as shown in Fig. 5A is brought into a state similar to the above-mentioned double folded state as shown in Fig. 5B. The rod 15 of the connecting projection 14 is fitted into the notch 16 in the projection 14a, and these connecting projections 14, 14a are on the same axis with the rod 15 as the axis in the height direction. It will be located in
After forming such a state, when the circumferential member 1 is opened to form a rectangular shape on a plane as shown in FIG. The rod material 15 is rotated approximately 90' while being received, and therefore the notch 16 is directed outward in a direction parallel to the surface of the plate material 11 having the connecting protrusion 14, and the engagement between the rod material 15 and the notch 16 is released. It will not be done.

In this state, the container support plate 2 is set on the above-mentioned crosspiece 17, and the bottom holder 3 is fitted on the bottom 3, thereby fixing the rectangular assembly relationship and connecting the circumferential member 1 and each member. 2,3
The relationship between the support plate 2 and the support plate 2 is also stabilized to form a strong assembled state, and even when a container 4 of considerable weight is placed in the receiving hole 20 of the support plate 2, the support relationship becomes extremely stable.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, the notches 13 arranged opposite to each other around the hinge part of the plate material 11 in the circumferential member 1 as described above form a considerably large opening on the side thereof. A receiver 6 such as a jockey or cup is put in and out from the opening on the bottom holder 3, and the server 7 at the outlet of the container 4 placed in an inverted state is operated to remove the container 4.
It is clear that the liquid within can be poured out and used as appropriate.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the circumferential member 11 is
Although the description has been made for a case in which three or more circumferential members 11 are connected to each other in order to support the container in a stable state, as described above, the container supporting plate 2 and the bottom The position 3 is 3 depending on the number of circumferential members 11.
It can be implemented by changing its shape, such as a square, pentagon, hexagon, etc.

It is clear that when using the present invention as described above, a compact folded state is formed to facilitate handling such as storage, transportation, and storage of the stand. The rod material 15 is fitted to the rod 16 to open it into a square shape, and the support plate 2 and the saucer 3 are fitted, and no special nuts, pins or other auxiliary members are required, and the structure can be folded. Since the connecting connection between the connecting protrusions 14 and 141 can be obtained dynamically during the natural assembly process in which the circumferential member is opened to form a rectangular shape, it is extremely easy to assemble them. The assembled state is extremely stable and strong, and even if the container 4 is inverted and placed on a support rack, it will not fall over, and the notch 13 of the peripheral member 1,
The receiver 6 is operated in and out through the opening provided by the server 7.
It is a device that can be opened and closed to smoothly remove beer or other liquid contained in the container, and is a highly effective device in practical terms.
