Description

The proposed device relates to office supplies and can be used both for the accumulation and storage of business cards and other cards of a similar format, necessary for business people, and for the demonstration of other cards. The proposed device can also be used to place cards indicating the names of invited guests for seating areas.

A device for the accumulation and storage of cards containing a box with front and rear walls, a means for holding cards and four pins with strips placed on the outer sides of the front and rear walls of the box. In this case, the pairs of pins are fixed at one end in the respective slats.

The cards have four holes through which the pins pass. In this case, media cards are made in the form of photographic reproductions (USSR Author's Certificate No. 1214494, class B42F 15/04, publ. 02.28.1986).

The specified device is rather cumbersome in connection with the use only in stationary institutions where a large amount of information is required, such as, for example, libraries.

A device for the accumulation and storage of documents, containing a one-piece housing, having a humiliation (bevel) with a bottom and walls. Inside the case with a gap relative to the bottom, the fastening and holding elements are still stationary. Moreover, the openings of the storage media are further provided with through grooves arranged perpendicular to the horizontal of these storage media (RU 20742 U1, class B42D 1/00, publ. 11/27/2001).

The disadvantage of this device is the design complexity and inconvenience of use due to the need to craft holes in documents before placement.

A known medium of advertising information for placing business cards in it, containing a holder made of transparent plastic with pockets for placing rectangular information elements in them. A well-known storage medium is characterized in that the holder is located at a gas station and is made in the form of a shelf, the vertical part of which serves to attach it to a vertical surface, and the horizontal part is voluminous, having a vertical section profile of a rectangular frame, and along the long side parallel to it are rectangular pockets for placing information elements in them, which are business cards of various companies.

The disadvantages of the known device are:

1. The device is intended for use only at a gas station.

2. The complexity of the design.

3. The inability to advertise on the device.

The proposed utility model is aimed at eliminating the disadvantages of analogues, as well as at solving the problem of accumulating and storing business cards and others similar in format of cards, and at the same time at presenting advertising or any other information.

The technical result of the proposed utility model is to increase the reliability of the design. Additionally, a technical result is achieved, which consists in expanding the functionality, increasing the usability of the device, the visibility of the stored cards, as well as improving the safety and environmental friendliness of the device.

The specified technical result is achieved in that the device for storing cards contains a horizontal shelf and two vertical plates attached to it at the edges and parallel to each other.

The device is characterized in that the horizontal shelf is made with longitudinal grooves, and the vertical plates are with mating protrusions in their lower part for placement and fixing in these grooves, while supporting elements are attached to the lower plane of the horizontal shelf.

In a specific embodiment, each of the vertical plates is made with a beveled upper angle on one side and both plates are located with beveled corners in one direction.

In a specific embodiment, all elements of the device are made of wood.

In a specific embodiment, advertising or other information is applied to the outside of the vertical plates.

These signs are significant and interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

Signs characterizing the device can improve its reliability. The implementation of a horizontal shelf with longitudinal grooves, and vertical plates with mating protrusions in their lower part for placement and fastening in these grooves, provide a strong, almost monolithic design. Attaching the support elements to the lower plane of the horizontal shelf provides additional stability of the device, even on uneven surfaces.

The present invention is illustrated by a specific example of execution, which, however, is not the only possible, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the desired technical result.

The device is illustrated by drawings, where

Figure 1 is a side view of the device.

Figure 2 is a top view of the device.

Position 1 denotes vertical plates, position 2 denotes a horizontal shelf, position 3 denotes supporting elements.

The proposed device is a wooden card holder containing a horizontal shelf 2 with supporting elements 3 and two vertical plates 1 attached to the horizontal shelf.

The material of all structural elements of the device is wood.

Vertical plates and support elements are attached to the horizontal shelf using grooves, without the use of glue and other means of fastening.

Both vertical plates 1 are made with a beveled upper angle on one side.

On a horizontal shelf 2, between business plates 1, business cards and other cards of a similar format are placed.

Approximate recommended dimensions in mm: A - 48.3, B - 21, C - 34, D - 12, E - 14, F - 16, 31, G - 70,

H - 4, I - 8, J - 24, K - 3, L - 3, M - 10, N - 4, O - 64, P - 70.

The outer side of the vertical plates serves as a space for placing information, for example, about trademarks or a Web address or any other information about an advertiser. Also, the initials of the owner or other individual information can be applied there.

In addition to increasing reliability, the proposed device provides additional results:

Thus, the device for storing cards simultaneously plays the role of a carrier of advertising or any other information.

The execution of the plates with a beveled angle allows you to see part of the information placed on the cards stored in the device, which ensures the visibility of the information placed on the cards and ease of use.

The implementation of all structural elements from wood, and not from metal, increases safety during use, and the connection of all structural elements using grooves without the use of glue indicates non-toxicity of the device.

The proposed device is made of atypical material in the original style.

The advantages of the proposed device:

- original design, unique style;

- atypical material - wood;

- good visibility of cards (due to vertical plates sloping upwards);

- convenience when stacking and delivering business cards (three sides are open - top, left, right).

The functional features of the device are complemented by its ability to serve as an interior item and set unique accents for interiors of various styles.

The combination of all the above features allows you to use this item as an effective advertising medium of small sizes.

The proposed device is industrially applicable and feasible using traditional technologies on standard equipment.
