Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of library supplies, in particular to a reinforced bookend specially used in libraries. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate readers' access to and browsing of books on the shelves, libraries require that books stored in the lending room's stacks be neatly arranged with their spines facing outward. Bookends are placed on the right side of a row of books, primarily to prevent them from toppling over. In reality, readers can freely move through the open-shelf stacks when borrowing books. Large, hardcover, and heavy books on the shelves can easily fall over with a slight bump. Traditional bookends are weak and have low friction at the bottom, making them unable to withstand the pressure, deformation, or slipping of heavy books.

[0003] While existing bookends offer numerous advantages, such as a simple and lightweight structure, ease of insertion and removal, and low manufacturing costs, the trend toward more refined books, more luxurious bindings, and higher-quality paper materials has resulted in larger and heavier books, making existing bookends less robust. During routine book management and maintenance, they often collapse at the slightest touch. This creates a significant burden on library staff, requiring repeated bookend placement.

[0004] Therefore, in library management, a more practical bookend is urgently needed to replace the original bookend with low strength and easy deformation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above problems and provide a reinforced bookend for library use. To achieve the above purpose, this utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A reinforced bookend for use in libraries comprises a base plate, an upright plate vertically arranged on the edge of the base plate, a through hole provided in the middle of the upright plate close to the base plate, a front plate extending from the base plate at the intersection with the through hole, a widened portion provided on the front plate in a direction away from the base plate, a connecting port provided on the side of the widened portion, the connecting port being used for clamping and fixing with the upright plates of other bookends at the through hole, and a plurality of bookends clamped at corresponding positions can form a group of tightly connected bookends, thereby avoiding the problem of poor stability of a single bookend and improving the stability of the bookend fixation.

[0007] As an improvement, a reinforcing rib inclined toward the center of the vertical plate is provided on the vertical plate, and the reinforcing rib is set at an angle to the vertical plate and inclined outward.

[0008] This new bookend is equipped with reinforcing ribs. Due to the supporting effect of the reinforcing ribs, the strength of this new bookend is much higher than that of existing bookends. It is also convenient for centralized storage. When placing large books on the bookend, it is less likely to fall over due to external forces. The new bookend is designed with a connecting port. The connecting port is designed to be combined with other bookends to form a combination, which is more convenient for fixing large books. It can be combined with ordinary bookends to form a more stable structure that prevents heavy books from falling over and moving, achieving twice the result with half the effort. This new bookend can be used independently or in combination with traditional bookends.

[0009] As an improvement, the connecting port is located on a side surface of the widened portion.

[0010] As an improvement, the two connecting ports are respectively located on two side surfaces of the widened portion.

[0011] As an improvement, the inclination angle of the reinforcing rib is 8°.

[0012] As an improvement, the base plate, vertical plate and front plate are made of steel plates, the thickness of the steel plates is 1.5 mm, and the width of the reinforcing ribs is 30 mm.

[0013] As an improvement, the shape of the front plate is the same as the shape of the through hole.

[0014] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The utility model is provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance the supporting strength for heavy books, and prevent large books from falling over and shifting on the library bookends due to external forces.

[0016] 2. The utility model is provided with a connecting port, which is used to combine with other bookends to form a combination, making it easier to fix large books. The utility model can be used independently or in combination with traditional bookends.

[0017] 3. The utility model has a simple structure, can be flexibly matched, saves investment costs, is convenient for large-scale production, and has good market prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The present invention is described in detail and specifically below through specific embodiments to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] This embodiment discloses a reinforced bookend specifically for use in libraries.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 1, a vertical plate 2 is vertically arranged on the edge of the bottom plate 1, a through hole 3 is provided in the middle of the vertical plate 2 close to the bottom plate 1, and a front plate 4 extends from the bottom plate 1 at the intersection with the through hole 3. The front plate 4 has a widened portion 41 in the direction away from the bottom plate 1, and a connecting port 5 is provided on the side of the widened portion 41. The connecting port 5 is used to clamp with other vertical plates 2 at the through hole 3. Figure 4 As shown, when the two bookends are snap-fitted and assembled, the front plate 4 of the rear bookend needs to be tilted at a certain angle, and then the widened portion 41 is inserted into the through hole 3 of the front bookend. When the connecting port 5 of the rear bookend is moved to the position corresponding to the vertical plate 2 of the front bookend, the front plate 4 of the rear bookend is rotated flat to complete the snap-fitting of the connecting port 5 of the rear bookend and the vertical plate 2 of the front bookend.

[0033] The shape of the front plate 4 is the same as that of the through hole 3 so that it can be directly punched out during factory processing.

[0034] A reinforcing rib 6 is provided on the vertical plate 2 and is inclined toward the center of the vertical plate 2. The reinforcing rib 6 is set at an angle with the vertical plate 2 and is inclined outward by 8°.

[0035] This embodiment features reinforcing ribs 6. Due to their supporting function, the novel bookend is significantly stronger than existing bookends. It also facilitates centralized storage, making it less susceptible to tipping over due to external forces when placing large books. This embodiment also features two connecting ports 5, designed to combine with other bookends to create a combined unit, further facilitating the securement of large books. The clever design of the connecting ports 5 allows them to form a single unit with conventional bookends, resulting in a more stable structure that resists toppling and movement of heavy books, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

[0036] The two connecting ports 5 are respectively located on two side surfaces of the widened portion 41 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 6 have a certain inclination angle, so that the reinforcing ribs 6, the vertical plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 form a triangular stable structure, thereby improving the stability of the bookend.

[0038] The base plate 1, vertical plate 2, and front plate 4 are made of 1.5mm thick steel plates, with a 30mm width for the reinforcing ribs 6. This embodiment uses 1.5mm thick steel plates. Too thin steel plates lack strength and are prone to deformation, while too thick steel plates are heavy and expensive. Steel plates that are too wide or too long, while strong, are also expensive and heavy, and lack aesthetic appeal. They can also cause deformation and interference when stacked, making them difficult to reposition.

[0039] Experimental results

[0040] 1. The basic situation of bookends on the market now: When a 4.5 kg horizontal tensile force is applied to the vertical plate 2 of a traditional bookend, the upper part of the bookend will deform. When a tensile force of 5.5 kg is applied, plastic deformation will occur, causing irreversible damage.

[0041] 2. Technical books in 16-mo format, with an average weight of 20 volumes, weigh about 17 kg. Using the principle of mechanical dispersion, the lateral pressure applied is about 7 kg.

[0042] 3. The reinforced bookend of the present invention still deforms elastically when subjected to a lateral tensile force of 5.5 kg and does not deform when subjected to a lateral tensile force of 7 kg.

[0043] 4. Experiment 1: Steel plate thickness test 1mm-1.5mm-2mm; Experiment 2: Reinforcement rib 6 width 10mm-20mm-30mm; Experiment 3: One matching bayonet and two matching bayonet; Experiment 4: Strength test of existing bookend upright 2.

[0044] Experimental results show that the best material for the present invention is a 1.5mm thick steel plate. Too thin steel plates are not strong enough and are easy to deform, while too thick steel plates are heavy and costly. The width of the reinforcing rib 6 can be 30mm. Although too wide has good strength, it is costly and heavy. In addition, it is not aesthetically pleasing and can easily interfere with each other and be difficult to reset when stacked after deformation. The present invention is designed with a pair of connecting ports 5, which are designed to be combined with other bookends to form a combination, which is more convenient for fixing large books. The ingenious design of the connecting port 5 can also form a combination with ordinary bookends. The more stable structure makes it difficult for heavy books to fall over and move, achieving twice the result with half the effort. The present invention can be used independently or in combination with traditional bookends. It can be flexibly matched, saves investment costs, and achieves good use effects and economic benefits.

[0045] In actual production life, it is also possible to provide only one connection port 5 on one side of the widened portion 41 .

[0046] The above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is intended to serve only as examples, and the present invention is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
