[0023] Hereinafter, an article holder representing one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional view of one method of holding the item 1.

[0025] For item holder 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, its main body 10, when viewed from the front, has a plate-like shape with a frame portion 10a, for example, a rectangle, and has a structure that allows it to maintain the same rectangular shape as a card-type item (hereinafter also referred to as "card 30"). Card 30 is a card depicting a specified character C (see reference). Figure 6 Furthermore, the item holder 1 is configured to allow access from the front side (see reference 30) while holding the card 30. Figure 2 The design, specifically for role C, is sized to be space-saving and easy to carry. For example, the main body 10 has a light-transmitting plate-shaped portion 16 on the front surface of the card 30, and a plate-shaped holding portion 15 on the rear surface of the card 30 that can contact the back of the card 30 (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 3 ).

[0026] With the card 30 housed in the item holder 1, the card 30 is configured such that the entire card or the main part of the character C can be seen through the light-transmitting part 16. Furthermore, it has a mounting part 81 that can be attached to other items 80 such as a bag. For example, a locking part 18 formed by a hole is provided at one end of the main body 10. A connecting member such as a sling 19 is connected to this locking part 18.

[0027] Furthermore, in the following description, the side of the main body 10 of the item holder 1 that allows the character C to be seen when viewed from the front is designated as the front, and the opposite side is designated as the back. In addition, when the character C is standing upright, the upper side (the side where the locking part 18 is provided) of the main body 10 is designated as the upper end 10u, and the lower side is designated as the lower end 10d.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a plan view showing the back of item holder 1. Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 A partial sectional view of line AA.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the main body 10 is, for example, a rectangle with a first long side 11a that is longer vertically and a first short side 11b that is shorter horizontally. The main body 10 has a frame portion 10a that divides its outer perimeter, and a generally rectangular plate-shaped retaining portion 15 that forms the inner side of the frame portion 10a is provided on the back side. The retaining portion 15 is configured to open and close relative to the main body 10 via a second hinge portion 32 provided on the lower end 15d side. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the retaining part 15 is provided with a locking protrusion 15a at its upper end 15u, which is configured such that the locking protrusion 15a hooks onto the locking claw 10f that protrudes from the main body part 10.

[0030] A generally rectangular support portion 20 extending along the length direction of the retaining portion 15 is mounted on the back side of the retaining portion 15. As shown in the figure, the support portion 20 has an elongated shape with a second long side 20a that is longer in the vertical direction and a second short side 20b that is shorter in the horizontal direction. In addition, the second long side 20a is configured to be shorter than the first long side 11a, and the second short side 20b is shorter than the first short side 11b. Moreover, the support portion 20 is configured to be smaller than the size of the retaining portion 15. Thus, as shown in the figure, it has a structure that does not extend beyond the first long side 11a and the first short side 11b of the main body portion 10 when it is arranged along the retaining portion 15 (third position (P3)).

[0031] The support portion 20 is mounted via a first hinge portion 31 located near its lower end 15d. For example, the mounting base end portion 21 of the support portion 20 is rotatably mounted to a pair of left and right support shaft portions 15c protruding from the retaining portion 15. Additionally, as... Figure 3As shown, the front end portion 20i of the support portion 20 is locked in a state where it enters the opening 15k of the locked protrusion 15a of the retaining portion 15. The support portion 20 is locked by means of... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The locking state shown indicates that the hook is disengaged, allowing rotation around the first hinge portion 31 as a fulcrum. Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the first hinge portion 31 is located closer to the lower end portion 10d than the central portion Cp of the main body portion 10.

[0032] The support portion 20, installed in this way, can rotate around the first hinge portion 31 as a fulcrum, thereby taking a first position P1 (refer to...) where it protrudes downward from the main body portion 10. Figure 5 The second position P2, protruding in a direction away from the main body (refer to...). Figure 5 ), and the third position P3 (refer to) in which the portion is received along the inner side of the retaining portion 15. Figure 5 These are the three forms. Here, the support 20 is arranged in the third position P3 such that its other side 20t contacts the back side of the main body 10 (the back side 15r of the retaining part 15).

[0033] Figure 4 This is an exploded perspective view of the main body 10 and the support 20 as seen from the rear side. Figure 5 This is a side view of the item holder 1 as seen from the right side.

[0034] The support portion 20 is rotatably mounted relative to the main body portion 10. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, a bearing hole 15h is formed in the support shaft portion 15c constituting the first hinge portion 31. Furthermore, a shaft protrusion 21c constituting the first hinge portion 31, which is mounted at the end 21 of the mounting base, is inserted into the bearing hole 15h. The shaft protrusion 21c is provided at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction of the support portion 20, protruding from the front ends of a pair of protrusions 21b extending along the length direction of the support portion in opposite left-right directions.

[0035] Furthermore, the support portion 20 is inserted into the bearing bore 15h in such a way that the front ends of a pair of tabs 21b are narrowed, and is mounted in such a way that it can rotate about a rotation axis Rc extending in the direction along the back surface 15r of the retaining portion 15. In this inserted state, the tabs 21b engage with the support shaft portion 15c by their elastic force in such a way that they do not rotate unless force is applied to the support shaft portion 15c. As a result, as Figure 5As shown, the support portion 20 is maintained in the second position P2, where it protrudes significantly toward the rear of the main body portion 10, and in the first position P1, where it extends downward from the lower end along the plane of the main body portion 10. That is, the first angle (θ1), which is the maximum opening angle of the support portion 20, is approximately 180 degrees from the third position P3 to the first position P1.

[0036] Figure 6 This is a perspective view showing the insertion operation of card 30 into item holder 1.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the card 30 is moved in and out of the article holder 1 by rotating the holding part 15 to open it towards the rear of the main body 10. For example, the holding part 15 is set to a state where it is opened to a certain extent with the second hinge part 32 as the fulcrum. In this open state, the lower side of the pattern on the card 30 is aligned with the lower edge 16d of the light-transmitting part 16 and pressed against the light-transmitting part 16. In addition, the holding part 15 is closed by pressing the back side of the card 30 with the front surface 15f of the holding part 15. In this way, the card 30 is held between the holding part 15 and the light-transmitting part 16.

[0038] Furthermore, the card 30 is configured such that the lengths of its long side 30a and short side 30b are smaller than the rectangular size of the holding part 15. That is, it is configured such that the pattern (character C) of the card 30 and the approximate overall size of the card 30 can be seen from the light-transmitting part 16.

[0039] Here, since it is not necessary to open it to a large extent, the maximum opening angle of the support 20, i.e., the second angle (θ2), is set to approximately 90 to 100 degrees. This is because the second angle (θ2) facilitates the installation of the card 30 without excessive opening.

[0040] When opening and closing the retaining part 15, the operation can be performed, for example, by holding the retaining part 15. However, the operation can also be performed with a finger hooked on the support part 20 or while holding the support part 20. In addition, the locking claw 10f that locks the retaining part 15 and the locking protrusion 15a that locks the support part 20 are arranged in the same position, thereby creating a structure that facilitates operation on the back side of the main body part 10.

[0041] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of the second position P2 of the support portion 20.

[0042] For the article holder 1, the second position P2 is a state in which the support portion 20 does not contact the back side of the main body portion 10 on either one side 20e or the other side 20t (refer to...). Figure 5As described above, it protrudes rearward from the main body 10, therefore, for example, as... Figure 7 As shown, the article holder 1 can be placed on the mounting portion 50. Furthermore, regarding the support portion 20, as described above, the first hinge portion 31 is configured to not move unless force is applied, thereby reliably supporting the main body portion 10. Additionally, the tilt angle of the main body portion 10 when the article holder 1 is mounted can be freely set by adjusting the rotation angle of the support portion 20.

[0043] Figure 8 This is a perspective view of the first position P1 of the support part 20.

[0044] For item holder 1, in Figure 8 The support portion 20 is positioned at a first position P1, protruding from the lower end 10d of the main body 10. In this first position P1, the support portion 20 is substantially fixed in contact with the back surface 10r of the main body 10 near the first hinge portion 31 with its side 20e. That is, the article holder 1 is positioned such that the support portion 20 protrudes significantly from the lower end 10d of the main body 10 along the back surface of the main body 10, as shown. Figure 8 As shown, the protruding part can be grasped by hand at 70 for operation.

[0045] As described above, in the article holder 1 of this method, the article holder 1 is configured such that, relative to the main body 10 of the holding card 30, the support portion 20 supporting the main body 10 can take three positions (first position P1, second position P2, and third position P3), thus enabling three usage modes. Therefore, the character can be appreciated in three different modes (held by hand, placed on the mounting portion, and attached to an article).

[0046] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support portion 20 is configured, for example, to be rectangular, with its long side (second long side 20a) being smaller than the long side (first long side 11a) of the main body portion 10, and its short side (second short side 20b) being smaller than the short side (first short side 11b) of the main body portion 10, so that the support portion 20 can be housed within the planar dimensions of the main body portion 10.

[0047] In the article holder 1 of this type, the support portion 20 is mounted on a part of the main body 10 other than the central portion Cp, so that it can protrude outward from the outer periphery of the main body 10 when the support portion 20 is rotated. For example, the main body 10 is configured as a rectangle, and the support portion 20 is mounted near one end (lower end 10d), so that the support portion 20 can protrude from the lower end 10d side when the support portion 20 is rotated.

[0048] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support part 20 is rotatably mounted relative to the main body part 10, so that by changing its rotational position, it can be easily changed between three positions.

[0049] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support portion 20 is configured to be fixed relative to the main body portion 10 in a first position P1, a second position P2, and a third position P3, thereby enabling the position of the support portion 20 in each form to correspond to the usage form. In addition, only one specific position is set for the first position P1 and the third position P3, but multiple positions can be set for the second position P2, thus increasing the degree of freedom in viewing position.

[0050] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support portion 20 is in a first position P1 that extends in a direction parallel to the plane of the main body portion 10 relative to the main body portion 10, so that it can be configured as a usage form in which the support portion 20 can be easily held as a rod member.

[0051] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support portion 20 is in the second position P2, thereby enabling the main body portion 10 to be supported on the mounting portion 50 in an inclined state by means of its lower end portion 10d and the support portion 20. In addition, the fixed position (fixed angle) of the second position P2 can be freely adjusted steplessly.

[0052] In the article holder 1 of this method, the support portion 20 is in a third position P3 relative to the main body portion 10, so that the support portion 20 is maintained in a state where it does not protrude from the periphery of the main body portion 10, and the article holder 1 can operate as the shape of the main body portion 10 with excellent portability.

[0053] In the article holder 1 of this method, the holding part 15 is rotatably mounted relative to the main body part 10, so the card 30 can be clamped between the holding part 15 and the main body part 10 by opening and closing relative to the main body part 10.

[0054] Furthermore, in the article holder 1 of this embodiment, the support portion 20 is rotatably mounted relative to the holder portion 15, thereby allowing the rotational position of the support portion 20 relative to the holder portion 15 to be changed. Additionally, by arranging the locking mechanism of the holder portion 15 and the locking mechanism of the support portion 20 in the same area, the opening and closing operability of the holder portion 15 and the support portion 20 can be improved.

[0055] In the article holder 1 of this method, the holding part 15 can open and close relative to the main body part 10 at an angle within a specified angle (second angle θ2), so that it will not be over-opened and the card 30 can be easily installed.

[0056] In the article holder 1 of this method, the surface size of the holding part 15 is configured to be larger than the surface size of the card 30, thereby reliably holding the card 30.

[0057] The present invention has been described above, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above-described manner, the main body 10 is rectangular, but it is not limited to this structure. For example, it can also be square, polygonal, elliptical, circular, or other similar structures.

[0058] Furthermore, in the above-described manner, the support portion 20 is configured to be mounted on the main body portion 10 near the lower end portion 10d via the first hinge portion 31. However, this configuration is not limited to this structure; it can be located anywhere on the main body portion 10 except for the central portion Cp. That is, as long as the mounting position of the support portion 20 is any location other than the central portion Cp, it is configured not to protrude outward from the outer edge of the main body portion 10 at the third position P3, while at the first position P1, the support portion 20 can protrude outward from the outer edge of the main body portion 10 for gripping.

[0059] In addition, in the above-described manner, the support portion 20 is configured such that its rotation axis Rc is parallel to the lower end portion 10d of the main body portion 10, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may also be a structure that is inclined relative to the lower end portion 10d or the back surface 15r of the retaining portion 15.
