Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a newspaper reading table suitably used in libraries and the like.

Most of the newspaper reading tables used in the past are structured so that the newspaper is spread out on the desk surface and a presser piece is placed in the center of the table to hold the newspaper. With structured newspapers, it is troublesome to set the newspaper on the reading table, and half-sized newspapers cannot be held, and depending on the amount of newspaper, it may be difficult to hold them, making it difficult for outsiders to easily set the newspaper on the reading table. There was also a fear that the newspaper might be ripped out.

The present invention improves these drawbacks and has various other features.The present invention has an insertion groove in the desk surface into which the back of newspaper, etc. can be inserted, and a needle-shaped support that supports the newspaper within the groove. The support piece is formed into a support piece and is movable in a direction across the groove, so that newspapers, etc. can be easily and reliably held.

In the one shown in the figure, a viewing board 1 is formed in a size that allows newspapers, maps, pamphlets and other viewing materials to be unfolded and viewed, and is provided in an inclined manner above a support base 2, with an edge 3 on the front side. It is formed. Note that a shelf board 4 can also be provided below the viewing board. Approximately in the center of the viewing board, there are insertion grooves 6 at appropriate intervals into which a back 5 of a folded newspaper or the like can be inserted. The distance between the grooves is preferably approximately 10 mm to 10 mm so that it is impossible to insert a fingertip, etc.
It is best to make it about 5mm wide. A support piece 7 is provided on the side of the groove to support a newspaper or the like. In the example shown in the figure, the supporting piece is entirely needle-shaped so as to pierce and hold newspaper, etc., but it is also possible to form only the length corresponding to the width of the groove into a needle-like shape. good. The support piece is provided so as to be movable in a direction across the groove. As a means of transportation,
Various configurations can be adopted. The device shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 supports a movable body 8 having a needle-shaped support piece 7 so as to be movable along a guide wall 9. cam 11
By inserting the operating rod 12 formed with the cam and rotating the handle 13 provided at the end of the operating rod approximately 180 degrees to bring the cam into contact with the recessed groove from one wall surface to the other wall surface, The movable body is adapted to be moved. The operating rod is preferably held by an inverted Ω-shaped piece 14, and the handle is preferably provided at the lower surface on the near side in the drawing of the plate surface, and is formed at an appropriate location so that its position is not visible from the outside. It is preferable to store it in a recess (not shown).
Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the recessed groove is opened downward, but it can also be opened upward. The movable body may be biased in a direction in which the support piece protrudes into the groove by an appropriate elastic means, and the operating rod or handle may be releasably locked by an appropriate means at each of the protruding and retracting positions. There is also. The support piece has such a length that it enters into a guide hole 16 provided in the groove wall 15 of the groove opposite to the support piece in the protruding state (dashed line in FIG. 3).

When a newspaper or the like is folded and its back is inserted into the groove 6 and the handle is moved to move the support piece, the support piece passes through the back and its tip ends up in the groove 6. The newspaper is securely held as it enters the guide hole (dashed line in Figure 3). The newspaper can be easily removed by rotating the handle in the opposite direction and moving the support piece back to its original position. In addition, although the said moving main body is provided independently in the said Example, the whole can also be formed into one.

In FIG. 5, another means of transportation is shown. A rotating rod 17 with a needle-shaped support piece 7 on one side is attached to the pivot 1.
8, and a cam 1 that connects the rotating rod to the handle 13.
By moving it in the direction of protruding into the groove 6 at 9, it is possible to hold a newspaper or the like in substantially the same way as in the above embodiment. In this case, it is preferable that the rotation rod is urged to one side by the spring 20.

The one shown in FIG.
One ends of the link pieces 22 and 23 are connected 25 and 26, respectively, to the movable body 24 having the support piece 7,
The other end of one link piece 22 is pivotally attached 28 to the frame 27, and the other end of the other link piece 23 is pivotally attached 30 to a sliding piece 29 provided movably along the frame.
It has been done. Then, the sliding piece is moved by the arrow 3 with the spring 31.
The movable body is biased in two directions to move the movable body in the direction in which the support piece protrudes into the groove 6.
If the handle 33 connected to the sliding piece is pulled in the direction of arrow 34, the link piece moves in the direction of contraction, so the moving body moves in the direction of arrow 35,
Since the support piece is retracted from within the groove, the back of a newspaper or the like can be inserted into the groove. When the handle is released, the support piece returns to the protruding position due to the action of the spring and can hold newspaper or the like. In the drawing, the support piece is biased by a spring in the direction of the protruding position, but it can also be biased in the direction of the retracted position.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, by inserting the back of the newspaper into the insertion groove and moving the needle-shaped support piece from one side of the groove to the other, the back of the newspaper is folded. The needle-shaped support piece easily sticks into this, and the tip of the support piece crosses the groove and enters the guide hole provided in the opposite groove wall, so that no matter how much newspaper there is, it can be pulled out. There is no fear that it will break, and it can be held securely.
