[0003] This invention provides a folding bookend that is easy to use and has a relatively low production cost.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a folding bookend is provided, comprising:

[0005] Base plate;

[0006] The support plate, the base plate and the support plate, one of which is provided with a rotating part and the other is provided with a rotating mating part. The rotating part is inserted through the rotating mating part. The support plate can rotate relative to the base plate through the rotating part, so that the support plate can switch between a folding mode and an unfolding mode.

[0007] A pen holder is located on the side of the support plate away from the base plate when the support plate is in the folded mode;

[0008] The support plate and the pen holder are integrally formed.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating mating part includes:

[0010] The first snap-fit ​​component connects to the other one of the base plate and the support plate;

[0011] The second snap-fit ​​component is connected to the other one of the base plate and the support plate. The second snap-fit ​​component is spaced apart from the second snap-fit ​​component to form a snap-fit ​​groove. The rotating part is located in the snap-fit ​​groove and snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0012] Wherein, at least one of the first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member is provided with an elastic part corresponding to the rotating part.

[0013] In some embodiments, at least one of the first and second snap-fit ​​members has a snap-fit ​​protrusion on the side facing each other, and the rotating part abuts against the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0014] In some embodiments, one of the base plate and the support plate is provided with a locking part, and the other is provided with a locking engagement body, wherein the locking engagement body is provided with a first locking engagement part and a second locking engagement part;

[0015] The locking part can be engaged with the first locking engagement part for locking between the support plate and the base plate in the unfolded mode;

[0016] The locking part can engage with the second locking engagement part to lock the support plate and the base plate in the folded mode.

[0017] In some embodiments, at least one of the locking portion and the first locking engagement portion is provided with a first arc surface on the side facing each other;

[0018] And / or, at least one of the locking portion and the first locking engagement portion is provided with a second arc surface on the side facing each other.

[0019] In some embodiments, the locking engagement body and the first locking engagement part are integrally formed structures;

[0020] And / or, the locking engagement body and the second locking engagement part are integrally formed structures.

[0021] In some embodiments, the support plate is provided with a rotating cavity, and the rotating mating part is located in the rotating cavity;

[0022] The support plate is provided with a locking cavity, and the locking part, the first locking mating part and the second locking mating part are all located in the locking cavity;

[0023] The rotating cavity and the locking cavity are spaced apart.

[0024] In some embodiments, there are multiple rotating cavities and locking cavities, with the rotating cavity located between two adjacent locking cavities; and / or, the locking cavity located between two adjacent rotating cavities.

[0025] In some embodiments, a gap is provided between adjacent rotating mating parts and locking mating bodies, and the support plate is provided with an extension corresponding to the gap, the extension being inserted into the gap.

[0026] In some embodiments, the support plate has ribs on the side facing the base plate in the folded mode;

[0027] And / or, the support plate is provided with a limiting part, and the base plate is provided with a limiting mating part corresponding to the limiting part, for limiting the distance between the support plate and the base plate.

[0028] One embodiment of this utility model has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0029] The folding bookend provided by this utility model allows the support plate to rotate away from the base plate via a rotating part when the support plate needs to be switched to the unfolded mode. This creates an angle between the support plate and the base plate, allowing the book to be placed between the base plate and the support plate. Furthermore, two adjacent sides of the book can contact the base plate and the support plate respectively, providing stable support for the book.

[0030] When the support plate needs to be switched to folding mode, the support plate rotates towards the base plate via the rotating part, so that the support plate and the base plate are set at an acute angle or parallel, which takes up less space and is easy to store.

[0055] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0056] This embodiment provides a folding bookend, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the folding bookend includes a base plate 1 and a support plate 2. One of the base plate 1 and the support plate 2 is provided with a rotating part 21, and the other is provided with a rotating mating part 11. The rotating part 21 passes through the rotating mating part 11. The support plate 2 can rotate relative to the base plate 1 through the rotating part 21, so that the support plate 2 can switch between a folding mode and an unfolding mode.

[0057] When the support plate 2 needs to be switched to the unfolded mode, the support plate 2 rotates away from the base plate 1 through the rotating part 21, so that the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 are set at an angle. For example, the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 are perpendicular to each other. The book can be placed between the base plate 1 and the support plate 2, and two adjacent sides of the book can contact the base plate 1 and the support plate 2 respectively, so as to provide stable support for the book.

[0058] When the support plate 2 needs to be switched to the folding mode, the support plate 2 rotates towards the base plate 1 via the rotating part 21, so that the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 are set at an acute angle or parallel. For example, the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 fit together, occupying less space and making it easy to store.

[0059] The folding bookend provided in this embodiment has a rotating part 21 that passes through a rotating mating part 11. The rotating part 21 and the rotating mating part 11 achieve a rotating fit, which improves the smoothness of the rotation of the support plate 2 relative to the base plate 1, thereby improving the convenience of switching between the two modes of folding mode and unfolding mode.

[0060] For example, the rotating part 21 may specifically be a rotating shaft, which may specifically be a round shaft, a square shaft, etc. The rotating mating part 11 may specifically be a shaft hole, a shaft groove, or a snap-fit ​​groove, etc.

[0061] For example, the rotating part 21 is connected to the support plate 2, and the rotating mating part 11 is connected to the base plate 1; alternatively, the rotating mating part 11 is connected to the support plate 2, and the rotating part 21 is connected to the base plate 1; alternatively, the rotating part 21 on the support plate 2 and the rotating mating part 11 on the base plate 1 are rotatably mated, and the rotating mating part 11 on the support plate 2 and the rotating part 21 on the base plate 1 are rotatably mated. This embodiment takes the rotating part 21 being connected to the support plate 2 and the rotating mating part 11 being connected to the base plate 1 as an example. The rotating part 21 and the support plate 2 can be connected by means of bonding, riveting, threaded connection, etc., and the rotating mating part 11 and the base plate 1 can be connected by means of bonding, riveting, threaded connection, etc. Alternatively, the rotating part 21 and the support plate 2 can be integrally formed, and the rotating mating part 11 and the base plate 1 can be integrally formed, reducing the number of parts assembly steps and lowering production costs.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the base plate 1 is a rectangular plate structure. The length direction of the base plate 1 is defined as the first direction, denoted by D1; the width direction is defined as the second direction, denoted by D2; and the thickness direction is defined as the third direction, denoted by D3. The first, second, and third directions are all perpendicular to each other. It is understandable that if the position of the base plate 1 changes, the first, second, and third directions will also change accordingly.

[0063] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom plate 1 has a chamfer 15 at one end along the first direction and away from the rotating part 21, that is, the bottom plate 1 has a guide slope. When multiple books are arranged vertically in sequence, the guide slope has a guiding function, which makes it convenient for the bottom plate 1 to be inserted into the bottom of the book along the third direction.

[0064] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the folding bookend also includes a pen holder 3, which is disposed on the support plate 2. The pen holder 3 is used to hold writing pens, allowing the folding bookend to simultaneously serve the dual functions of a bookend and a pen holder 3, making it highly functional. For example, the pen holder 3 is disposed on the side of the support plate 2 away from the base plate 1 in the folded mode. In the folded mode, the pen holder 3 will not be sandwiched between the base plate 1 and the support plate 2, thus preventing interference and ensuring a good fit between the base plate 1 and the support plate 2. This reduces the space occupied and facilitates storage.

[0065] The support plate 2 and the pen holder 3 are integrally molded. Specifically, the support plate 2 and the pen holder 3 can be integrally molded through injection molding. The pen holder 3 is fixed to the support plate 2 in a non-removable manner, which provides good fixation and reduces the number of parts assembly steps, thereby reducing production costs.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the pen holder 3 is equipped with a divider 31 to divide the internal space of the pen holder 3 into different functional areas, allowing users to freely select different functional areas for categorization. At the same time, the divider 31 can also provide a certain amount of support for the writing pen, preventing the writing pen from becoming misaligned inside the pen holder 3.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating mating part 11 includes a first snap-fit ​​member 111 and a second snap-fit ​​member 112. The first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112 are both connected to the other of the base plate 1 and the support plate 2. For example, the first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112 are both disposed on the base plate 1. The second snap-fit ​​member 112 is spaced apart to form a snap-fit ​​groove 110. The rotating part 21 is located in the snap-fit ​​groove 110 and snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 110.

[0068] With this configuration, the first snap-fit ​​component 111 and the second snap-fit ​​component 112 are used to install the rotating part 21, which serves as a mounting base. The rotating part 21 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 110, preventing the rotating part 21 from coming off during rotation. Furthermore, the rotating part 21 and the snap-fit ​​groove 110 fit tightly, which can also reduce abnormal noises during rotation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] In this embodiment, at least one of the first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112 is provided with an elastic part 1121 corresponding to the rotating part 21.

[0070] For example, the elastic part 1121 can be provided on the first snap-fit ​​member 111 or the second snap-fit ​​member 112, or it can be provided on both the first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112. For example, the elastic part 1121 can be a groove, opening or through hole provided on the second snap-fit ​​member 112. The elastic part 1121 can reduce the structural strength of the second snap-fit ​​member 112, making the second snap-fit ​​member 112 similar to a cantilever structure. When the rotating part 21 abuts against the snap-fit ​​member, the elastic part 1121 can provide a certain elastic space for the rotating part 21, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the rotating part 21, and ensures the tightness of the fit between the rotating part 21 and the two snap-fit ​​members when the rotating part 21 rotates relative to the rotating fitting part 11.

[0071] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one of the first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1111 on the side facing each other, that is, the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 110 has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1111, which increases the roughness of the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 110. The rotating part 21 abuts against the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1111, further improving the snap-fit ​​effect of the rotating part 21.

[0072] For example, both the first snap-fit ​​member 111 and the second snap-fit ​​member 112 are provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions 1111, so that at least two snap-fit ​​protrusions 1111 form a claw-like structure, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​effect of the rotating part 21 in its circumferential direction.

[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, one of the base plate 1 and the support plate 2 is provided with a locking part 22, and the other is provided with a locking engagement body 12. The locking engagement body 12 is provided with a first locking engagement part 121 and a second locking engagement part 122.

[0074] For example, the locking part 22 is provided on the support plate 2, and the locking mating part is provided on the base plate 1. The locking part 22 can selectively abut against the first locking mating part 121 and the second locking mating part 122 to ensure the locking and fixing effect in the unfolded mode and the folded mode.

[0075] The locking part 22 may be a protrusion provided on the support plate 2, and the first locking engagement part 121 and the second locking engagement part 122 may be a slot or a boss that cooperates with the protrusion; or, the locking part 22 may be a slot or a boss provided on the support plate 2, and the first locking engagement part 121 and the second locking engagement part 122 may be a protrusion that cooperates with the slot or the boss.

[0076] Specifically, when the locking part 22 and the first locking engagement part 121 are engaged with each other, the locking part 22 is located above or below the first locking engagement part 121 along a third direction. Under the action of the supporting force between the locking part 22 and the first locking engagement part 121, the support plate 2 can maintain a perpendicular state to the base plate 1, thereby achieving locking between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 in the unfolded mode, preventing the support plate 2 from rotating toward the base plate 1, and ensuring that a stable supporting force can be provided for the book in the unfolded mode.

[0077] Specifically, when the locking part 22 engages with the second locking engagement part 122, it is used for locking between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1 in the folded mode (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, this prevents the support plate 2 from rotating away from the base plate 1 in the folding mode, which would cause the support plate 2 to open relative to the base plate 1, thus ensuring a tight fit between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1.

[0078] In one embodiment, at least one of the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121 is provided with a first arc surface on the side facing each other. Exemplarily, both the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121 are provided with a first arc surface. When the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121 are engaged, the locking portion 22 and / or the first locking engagement portion 121 can slide along the first arc surface. The first arc surface reduces the sliding resistance between the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121, facilitating switching between the locked and unlocked states. Simultaneously, the highest point of the first arc surface is the engagement position between the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121, at which point the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121 are closest to each other or abut against each other, improving the reliability of the locking state in the unfolded mode.

[0079] In one embodiment, at least one of the locking portion 22 and the first locking engagement portion 121 is provided with a second arc surface on the side facing each other. Exemplarily, both the locking portion 22 and the second locking engagement portion 122 are provided with a second arc surface. When the locking portion 22 and the second locking engagement portion 122 are engaged, the locking portion 22 and / or the second locking engagement portion 122 can slide along the second arc surface. The second arc surface reduces the sliding resistance between the locking portion 22 and the second locking engagement portion 122, facilitating switching between the locked and unlocked states. Simultaneously, the highest point of the second arc surface is the engagement position between the locking portion 22 and the second locking engagement portion 122, at which point the locking portion 22 and the second locking engagement portion 122 are closest to each other or abut against each other, improving the reliability of the locking state in the folding mode.

[0080] The locking engagement body 12 and the first locking engagement part 121 are integrally formed structures; and / or, the locking engagement body 12 and the second locking engagement part 122 are integrally formed structures. For example, the locking engagement body 12, the first locking engagement part 121, the second locking engagement part 122, and the base plate 1 are integrally formed structures, reducing the number of parts assembly steps and lowering production costs.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the locking and engaging body 12 can be a solid structure or a hollow structure. Specifically, the locking and engaging body 12 is provided with a weight-reducing cavity 123 to meet the requirements of lightweight folding bookends.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support plate 2 is provided with ribs 25, which serve as reinforcing ribs to improve the structural strength of the support plate 2. For example, the ribs 25 are located on the side of the support plate 2 facing the base plate 1 when in the folded mode, that is, the ribs 25 and the pen holder 3 are located on the two sides of the support plate 2 respectively, and the ribs 25 do not affect the forming and use of the pen holder 3.

[0083] The number of ribs 25 can be multiple, and the multiple ribs 25 are arranged along the second direction and extend along the third direction. While further increasing the structural strength of the support plate 2, the surface roughness of the support plate 2 can also be increased to prevent slippage when the book comes into contact with the support plate 2.

[0084] In one embodiment, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, a rotating cavity 201 is provided inside the support plate 2, and the rotating mating part 11 is located inside the rotating cavity 201. That is, the rotating cavity 201 serves as the functional area for the rotating mating between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1. The rotating cavity 201 is located inside the support plate 2, so that both the rotating part 21 and the rotating mating part 11 are hidden inside the support plate 2, avoiding the situation where the rotating part 21 and the rotating mating part 11 protrude and are exposed, thus improving aesthetics.

[0085] In one embodiment, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, a locking cavity 202 is provided inside the support plate 2, and the locking part 22, the first locking mating part 121, and the second locking mating part 122 are all located inside the locking cavity 202. That is, the locking cavity 202 serves as the functional area for locking and unlocking between the support plate 2 and the base plate 1. The locking cavity 202 is located inside the support plate 2, so that the locking structures such as the locking part 22, the locking mating body 12, the first locking mating part 121, and the second locking mating part 122 are all hidden inside the support plate 2, avoiding the situation where these locking structures are exposed and protrude from the base plate 1 or the support plate 2, thus improving aesthetics.

[0086] The rotating cavity 201 and the locking cavity 202 are spaced apart. This arrangement ensures that these two functional areas are independent and do not interfere with each other, avoiding any mutual influence between the rotation and locking processes.

[0087] In one embodiment, there are multiple rotating cavities 201 and locking cavities 202, with the rotating cavity 201 located between two adjacent locking cavities 202 and the locking cavity 202 located between two adjacent rotating cavities 201.

[0088] For example, the number of rotating cavities 201 and locking cavities 202 is four, five, six, etc., and the rotating cavities 201 and locking cavities 202 are arranged alternately. The two locking cavities 202 are located on both sides of the rotating cavities 201, which ensures both the rotation effect and the stability in the locked state.

[0089] It is understandable that the rotating part 21 is not a complete through-shaft structure, but rather consists of three discontinuous structural parts. Each rotating part 21 serves as a half-shaft, and the three rotating parts 21 are correspondingly inserted into the locking grooves 110 of the three rotating mating parts 11. The adjacent rotating mating parts 11 are spaced apart to provide clearance space for the locking cavity 202, allowing these locking structures to be hidden inside the support plate 2, thus avoiding the situation where the locking structures are exposed and affect the aesthetics.

[0090] In one embodiment, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, a gap 13 is provided between adjacent rotating mating parts 11 and locking mating bodies 12. The support plate 2 is provided with an extension 23 corresponding to the gap 13. For example, the extension 23 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 2 facing the bottom plate 1 in the unfolded state, and the extension 23 is inserted into the gap 13.

[0091] In this manner, the two sides of the extension 23 can respectively contact the rotating mating part 11 and the locking mating body 12, increasing the contact area and improving the connection stability in the unfolded state. At the same time, it also acts as a brake to some extent when switching between the folding mode and the unfolded mode, improving the user experience.

[0092] It should be noted that there are multiple extensions 23, which are spaced apart, and the aforementioned rotating cavity 201 or locking cavity 202 is formed between two adjacent extensions 23 and the support plate 2.

[0093] In one embodiment, the support plate 2 is further provided with a limiting part 24, and the bottom plate 1 is provided with a limiting mating part 14 corresponding to the limiting part 24, which is used to limit the support plate 2 and the bottom plate 1, so as to avoid large positional displacement between the support plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 when switching between folding mode and unfolding mode.

[0094] For example, the limiting part 24 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 2 in the third direction and facing the bottom plate 1 when the support plate 2 is in the unfolded state. The limiting part 24 and the extension part 23 are arranged in parallel. The limiting part 24 is located outside the multiple extension parts 23 and does not affect the normal operation of the rotating cavity 201 and the locking cavity 202.

[0095] For example, there may be multiple limiting parts 24, and multiple limiting parts 24 are respectively disposed on both sides of the limiting mating part 14 along the second direction, that is, the limiting mating part 14 is sandwiched between two limiting parts 24, and the two limiting parts 24 are used to limit the front and rear extreme positions of the support plate 2 along the second direction.
