Description

PORTABLE MAGAZINE HOLDER

Technical Field

The present invention relates to magazine holders, which accommodate various materials (magazines, files, documents, etc), and which are positioned at places such as tables, shelves, racks, etc.

The present invention further relates to a magazine, which can easily be assembled, and made usable even by nonqualified persons.

Background of Invention

There are many different magazine holders available nowadays, made of distinct shapes, materials, and structures.

Some of such magazine holders are made from paper-derived materials. Regarding the magazine holders composed of four vertical walls and one lower base, the vertical walls are folded from a single-piece paper. The lower base is a continuation of these vertical walls and is embodied in the form of two wings joined together at the bottom. Since such magazine holders are produced from paper- derived materials, they are quite quickly damaged, and are further quickly deformed by frequent uses. Whilst they are carried filled with materials, the joined structure at the base becomes opened and there arises the possibility that such material contents fall down.

Different magazine holders are also known, with vertical walls made from hard cardboards and coated with a plastic material in order to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks. In long-time uses, however, even this material becomes damaged.

Other magazine holders are also known, which are made from plastic with weak zones formed at engagement sites of vertical walls, and which are actually assembled by folding such weak zones. The drawbacks as explained above for the two types of magazine holders are also prevailing in such holders. Storing and transporting or carrying of such products are problematic due to the inseparable vertical walls and the bases thereof. Such type of magazine holders accommodating A4-size materials, for instance, can not be carried from one place to the other, while being placed into a A4-size envelop.

Brief Description of Invention

Regarding this status of the relevant art, the objective of the present invention is to obtain an embodiment overcoming aforesaid drawbacks.

In order to realize this objective, optionally detachable vertical walls and a base is employed.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the base is detachably positioned at the said vertical walls.

In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, indents and protrusions formed complementary to each other are employed to engage the vertical walls together.

In a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, said vertical walls and base are made from wooden material so that the problem is eliminated that occurs when said vertical walls and base become unusably folded.

Yet in a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, successively arranged indents and protrusions are used. Hence probable deformations to occur in the course of time are absorbed.

The features and advantages of the present invention shall be made clear by disclosing below an exemplary embodiment, as shown in annexed figures.

Detailed Description of Invention

Figure 1 is a perspective illustration of an exemplary embodiment in an assembled form of the magazine holder (1 ) according to the present invention. The subject magazine holder is composed of vertical walls (2), which are perpendicular to the ground place, and of one base (3).

A material accommodation space (4) is formed in the center by means of mutually- positioned vertical walls (2) to contain various materials (not shown in Figure).

The assembly of the present magazine holder (1 ) can be better seen from the illustration given under Figure 2. Accordingly, Figure 2 is a perspective illustration of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 in a disassembled form. Each vertical wall (2) is engaged by its corners (5) to another vertical wall (2) in a detachable manner. In order to realize this assembly/disassembly, protrusions (6) and indents (7) are formed on said vertical walls (2). Said protrusions (6) and indents (7) are engaged to each other so as to make said material accommodation space (4). In this assembly, first the indents and protrusions (6, 7) formed on the front vertical wall (2.1 ) and side vertical walls (2.2) are united by means of a connecting element (8). The connecting element (8) is positioned within the cavities (9) formed on several protrusions (6) on the lower walls (2).

After the three walls (2.1 , 2.2) are engaged together, the base (3) is slid into the channels (10) formed on the lower sections of the front vertical wall (2.1 ) and side walls (2.2) to accommodate the base (3). The base (3) placed within the channels (10) cannot be removed without disassembling the rear or front vertical walls (2.1 , 2.2). The next step is to connect the rear vertical wall (2.3) to side vertical walls (2.2).

When the assembly is completed by means of connecting elements (8) by engaging the protrusions and indents (6, 7) formed at the edges of the rear vertical wall (2.3) to the corresponding protrusions and indents (6, 7) at side walls, the dismountable magazine holder (1 ) in Figure 1 is obtained.

The purpose of embodying the indents and protrusions (6, 7) along the whole margin of the side walls (2) is to reduce the affect of thermal conditions possibly to occur in time.

Figure 3 is a perspective illustration of an alternative exemplary embodiment of the magazine holder according to the present invention.

Figure 4 is a perspective illustration of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 in a disassembled form. Here, preferably the indents (7) are formed on side vertical walls (2.2) and the protrusions (6) on the front and rear vertical walls (2.1 , 2.3).

These indents and protrusions (6, 7) are embodied in a complementary fashion.

Similarly, first the front vertical wall (2.1 ) is assembled between side vertical walls

(2.2) with the aid of indents opened thereon (2.2). The protrusions (6) formed on the margins of the front vertical wall (2.1 ) are placed into the indents (7) formed on side vertical walls (2.2). In this position, the base (3) is slid into and positioned within the channels (10) formed on the lower sections of the front vertical and side vertical walls (2.1 , 2.2). Similar to engaging the front vertical wall (2.1 ), the magazine holder (1 ) is formed when the rear vertical wall (2.3) is engaged to side vertical walls (2.2).

The present invention cannot be restricted with the foregoing disclosure. It is obvious that various assemblies can be performed on the subject magazine holder, provided that the idea is reserved of optionally detachable vertical walls (2) and a base (3) positioned so as to become engaged with at least two of said vertical walls (2).
