Abstract

Stand-up displays, in particular stand-up display figures, are often used as decoration, but can also be designed as toy figures. The fold process for producing the stand-up display can be as complicated as same is complex. A further disadvantage can be seen in that stand-up displays are generally have limited use. The invention provides a stand-up display which is easy to produce and can be used in a flexible manner. This is achieved in that the stand-up display, according to the invention, consists of at least one first blank (13) and at least one second blank (14, 39), wherein the first blank (13) can be folded to a base element (11) which has two transverse sides (27), two longitudinal sides (15), a stand side (18) and a receiving side (28). In addition, the second blank (14, 39) can be inserted on the base element (11) as an insertion element (12) to stabilise the base element (11).

Description

Stand, especially Aufstellfigur Description

The invention relates to a stand, in particular a stand-up figure according to the preamble of claim 1.

Display, in particular Aufstellfiguren of paper, cardboard, cardboard or the like are often used as decoration in shop windows or on tables or as an advertising medium for a variety of products. However, erectors can also be designed as Aufstellfiguren, or game characters. Mostly such stands are folded from a blank of paper, cardboard, cardboard or the like. This folding process can be arbitrarily complicated depending on the complexity of the stand. The complexity in the production of such stands is particularly disadvantageous for game figures, since this is to be assembled as a toy for children by the same as part of the game. Likewise, it is disadvantageous that a once folded up figure can not be used for any further application. For example, a stand that serves as an advertising medium, no longer serve as a table decoration or game character.

The invention is based on the object, a stand, in particular to create a figure that is easy to manufacture and can be used in a flexible manner. A stand for solving this problem has the features of claim 1. This stand, in particular this figure of paper, cardboard, or the like consists of at least a first blank and at least a second blank, wherein the first blank to a two transverse sides, two longitudinal sides, a stand side and a receiving side having base element is foldable. In addition, the second blank can be plugged onto the base element as a plug-in element to stabilize the base element. The second crop may have different functions. Depending on the nature and configuration of the second blank or of the plug-in element, this can be used as a decoration for, for example, tables or shop windows, advertising media or game pieces. The base element may be, for example, a neutral base, which cooperates equally with each plug element. However, it is also conceivable that the base element is adapted to the purpose of the plug element in its nature or in its configuration.

A further advantageous embodiment of the present invention is that the base element is parallelepiped-shaped, in particular truncated pyramid. It may be provided that the area, in particular the projected area of the stand side is greater than the area, in particular the projected area of the receiving side. The fact that the stand side is greater in area than the receiving side, a stable state of the erector can be achieved. However, there are also any other forms conceivable that can be formed or folded from at least one blank.

Preferably, the invention further provides that the first blank is such that the transverse sides are composed after folding to the base element in each case of an inner wall and an outer wall, which are in particular almost congruently superimposed foldable The outer wall or the inner Wall preferably project beyond the inner wall or outer wall in the region of the receiving side. Due to the one-sided protruding one wall over the other, the transverse side receives in this area a certain flexibility, which may be advantageous when mating the base member and the male member. It is also conceivable that the longitudinal sides after folding to the base element are each composed of an inner wall and an outer wall which are in particular almost congruent superimposed folds, preferably the outer wall or inner wall in the receiving side over the inner wall or outer wall protrudes.

In particular, the invention may further provide that the inner walls and the outer walls of the first blank each have a recess open on one side and the recesses are superimposed when folding the walls to the base member with the open side in the direction of the receiving side. The recesses may also be any slots, notches, or the like.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention provides that the outer walls each have at least one opening, which are in particular of the same design and are equally positioned, preferably circular, oval or rectangular. In cooperation with the inner walls, the openings in the outer walls thus form a depression. However, it is also conceivable that the inner walls equally openings have, which then lie one above the other during the folding of the base member with the openings of the outer walls.

Further, it can provide the present invention that the bottom side is associated with a, in particular slot-like opening, which preferably extends to the longitudinal sides and transverse sides and serves to form a receptacle in the lower region of the base element. This slot-like opening is designed such that it can serve for example as a receptacle for a holder, such as a piece of cardboard, a glass rim or another toy. In addition, the slot-like opening may be formed such that the base element results in the shape of a trunk of a game character, in particular a male.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention provides that the plug element is designed as a front and a back having plate-like silhouette, the silhouette as any shape can be trained. For example, the silhouette can act as an advertising medium, as an individual decoration means for, for example, Christmas table decorations or the like, but also as an upper body of a playing piece which, in cooperation with the base element designed as a fuselage part, results in a game piece or a male. Similarly, a variety of different characters such as persons, animals, plants or objects of any kind can be formed. In addition, it is provided that the silhouettes of different stands are interchangeable, so that new combinations of plug-in elements and base elements can be formed. This is not only possible for game pieces, but also for game pieces in combination with stands for decoration or promotional purposes.

Furthermore, it is provided that the blank forming the plug-in element is foldable to the desired silhouette, in particular collapsing in itself to improve the stability. In addition, it is provided that the blank can be folded into a more complex three-dimensional structure, which can also be joined together as a plug-in element with the base element.

Preferably, it is further provided that the plug element tabs, preferably three tabs, namely two outer and one middle, and are formed between the tabs recesses. These tabs and the recesses are formed such that the plug-in element can be plugged into the receiving side of the base element and the recesses of the plug-in element with the unilaterally open recesses of the inner and the outer walls are telescoped. By this mating the male element is fixed by the slightly outwardly bending walls in the base member in which press the walls against inner sides of the outer tabs. In addition, the folded base element is at least largely fixed in its folded state by this mating.

Particularly advantageous is that the tabs, in particular the outer tabs have locking elements, which are preferably aligned with the central tab and which correspond to the openings of the outer walls of the base member. Characterized in that the locking elements web-like, preferably barb-like, are formed, form the plug-in elements with the base elements a solid, in particular releasable connection. The interaction of the locking elements and the openings of the walls causes the base elements do not unfold automatically again. To release the male element or the silhouette of the base element, the walls having the openings must be slightly pressed, so that the locking elements are released and the silhouette can be pulled upwards. This connection and release of the silhouette with the base element is extremely effective, in particular stable and is also easy to handle.

It is inventively provided that the blanks are punched out of a piece of paper, cardboard, cardboard or the like or can be triggered or cut out. In addition, the folded edges of the base element or of the plug element can be prefolded or perforated. The height of the stand can be a few centimeters or a few decimeters but also in the meter be rich. The relative sizes of the base element and the plug element are arbitrary. Preferably, the base elements and the plug-in elements have a height between 5 and 10 cm. The stand side of the base element is preferably between 5 and 10 cm ² . The surface of the blanks is such that it can be painted, pasted or the like as desired.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. In this show:

The present invention describes a stand, in particular an erecting figure made of paper, cardboard, cardboard or the like which can be plugged together from a base element and a plug-in element. As one of many conceivable embodiments, an erecting figure is shown in FIGS. However, the invention is not limited to the Aufstellfigur shown here, but rather is also directed to stands for decoration purposes, promotional purposes or the like.

The erecting figure 10 is composed of a base element 11 and a plug-in element 12. Both the base element 11 and the plug-in element 12 can be composed of a first blank 13 and a second blank 14 or folded together. Both the first blank 13 and the second blank 14 are cut out of a sheet of paper, a piece of cardboard or the like. However, it is also conceivable that the first blank 13 and the second blank 14 are pre-punched or pre-perforated.

The first blank 13 has, according to the embodiment shown here, two longitudinal sides 15, two inner walls 16, two outer walls 17 and a stand side 18 (FIG. 1). The sides or the walls are separated from each other by folding edges 19. The inner walls 16 each have a slot-like recess 20 on an upper side. These recesses 20 extend into the inner wall 16 and are open to one side. The upper edge regions of the recess 20 have a radius, so that a continuous transition to the adjacent edges is formed. The outer walls 17 also have recesses 21 at their upper ends. These recesses 21 of the outer walls 17 are equally formed as the recesses 20 of the inner walls 16. However, the outer walls 17 protrude in the article to the inner walls beyond an upper edge 22 of the adjacent longitudinal side. Therefore, the recesses 21 are slightly deeper than the recesses 20th

In addition, the outer walls 17 have additional openings 23. These openings 23 are slot-like according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but may also be circular, oval, rectangular or the like. The openings 23 are positioned approximately centrally on the outer walls 17, but may also be positioned differently. Preferably, the openings 23 are parallel to the recesses 21 on the outer walls 17th

On the side of the stand 18, a further recess 24 extends, which may extend to the longitudinal sides 15 (Fig. 1). This recess 24 is slot-like, but may also be oval-shaped, circular, rectangular or the like.

A base edge 25, which is associated with the longitudinal side 15 of the outer wall 17, is slightly longer than a corresponding base edge of the other longitudinal side 15. This is achieved by the stand side has two projections 26. By these projections 26, a base edge 25 is wider than the stand side 18. This is in particular for the following folding process of the first blank 13 essential.

To form the base element 11, the first blank 13 is folded along the folding edges 19 into the plane of the paper, so that a truncated pyramid is formed. However, the present invention is expressly not limited to this form. When folding the first blank 13, the outer walls 17 are placed over the inner walls 16, so that together they form transverse sides 27 of the base member 11. The recesses 20 and 21 of the inner wall 16 and the outer wall 17 fall when folding the first blank 13 each other. The opening 23 forms after folding with the inner wall 16 a cup-shaped trough. However, it is also conceivable that the inner walls 16 openings corresponding openings 23, so that these two openings then coincide when folding. The fact that the outer wall 17 is slightly longer than the inner wall 16 protrudes an upper part of the outer wall 17 in the folded state over the inner wall 16 and the upper edge also. The upper edges 22 and the upper sides of the inner wall or outer walls 17 together form a receiving side 28.

The plug element 12 is formed from the second blank 14 (FIG. 2). The illustrated in Fig. 2 embodiment of a second blank 14 is an axisymmetric upper body of a figure. The blank 14 can be folded along the symmetry axis 29 in such a way that the parts 30 and 31 of the second blank 14 coincide congruently. The two coincident parts 30 and 31 are joined together, in particular zusammenklebbar or the like. The upper part 32 of the erecting figure 10 thus formed has, in addition to a stylized head as tabs 33, 34, 35, stylized arms and a stomach. The tabs 33 and 35 include with the tab 34 recesses 36 and 37 a. When folding the two parts 30 and 31, the tabs and the recesses 36,37 coincide. The tabs 33 and 35 have to the tab 34 directed locking elements 38. These locking elements 38 describe a broadening of the tabs 33 and 35 and may be formed barb-like.

The illustrated in Fig. 3 embodiment of a second blank 39 is formed only of a single part and is not composed as the embodiment of FIG. 2 by folding. Otherwise, the second blank 39 is identical to the individual parts 30 and 31 of the second blank 14, the same reference numerals are used and refer to FIG. 2.

The exemplary embodiments of the second blanks 14 and 39 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can assume any silhouette of an article, a person, an animal or the like and can thus be used as advertising, decorative means or game figures. 4, a base member 11 and a plug-in element 12 is shown prior to assembly to a Aufstellfigur 10. The base member 11 and the plug-in element 12 are plugged together according to the arrow 40. The tab 34 passes through the receiving side 28. The recesses 36 and 37 are pushed over the transverse sides 27. The locking elements 38 thereby enter into a latching connection with the openings 23 (FIG. 5).

Through the mating of the plug element 12 and the base member 1 1, the erecting figure 10 (Fig. 6, Fig. 7). In FIG. 6, the dashed line shows how the tab 34 and the latching elements 38 of the plug-in element 12 and of the second blank 14 merge with the base element 11. In this position, the plug-in element 12 is fixedly connected to the base member 11, without the need for additional means such as adhesive must be used. To remove the plug-in element 12 from the base element 1 1, only the transverse sides 27 are to be pressed slightly inwards, so that the latching elements 38 are released from the openings 23 and the plug-in element 12 can be pulled out of the base element 11. Thereafter, the base member is free for receiving a further plug-in element 12 with a different silhouette.
