Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an acrylic stand having an acrylic plate with a design of a character or the like drawn thereon. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, acrylic stands have been widely used as original goods and novelty goods, and their popularity is increasing. The acrylic stand is used by attaching an acrylic plate (main body) with a design of a character or the like to a pedestal in an upright state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Acrylic stands used as flat figures are also called acrylic figures. Acrylic stands are lightweight and durable, and are characterized by the fact that the main body can be removed from the pedestal for easy transport and storage. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3238134 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventionally, when assembling an acrylic stand, the main body is set up on the base by fitting a protrusion on the bottom of the main body into a hole in the base. Therefore, when the acrylic stand is assembled, the positional relationship between the main body and the base is fixed, and the user cannot change the angle of the main body relative to the base, for example.
[0005] On the other hand, in the acrylic stand described in the above Patent Document 1, a first protrusion and a first through hole are formed on the main body, and a second protrusion and a second through hole are formed on the base. This acrylic stand is configured to be capable of being in either a first state in which the first protrusion is fitted into the second through hole, or a second state in which the second protrusion is fitted into the first through hole. Therefore, it is possible to make the position of the main body with respect to the base different depending on whether the acrylic stand is in the first state or the second state.
[0006] However, in the acrylic stand described in Patent Document 1, the position of the main body relative to the base can only be changed between the first state and the second state. Therefore, there is a problem that the manner in which the acrylic stand is decorated is poorly varied, and users quickly tire of the acrylic stand. Considering that acrylic stands are often used indoors as ornaments, it is desirable to realize an acrylic stand that can be decorated in a variety of different ways and has high decorativeness.
[0007] The present invention has been made in light of the above circumstances, and has an object to provide an acrylic stand that can be decorated in a wide variety of ways and has high decorativeness. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the acrylic stand of the present invention comprises a main body made of an acrylic plate having a desired design, a plate-shaped base for supporting the main body and having holes formed in predetermined locations, and a connecting part having an attachment part attached to a predetermined location of the main body and a protrusion for fitting into the hole in the base, wherein the connecting part connects the main body and the base by fitting the protrusion into the hole in the base, and has a movable mechanism part that allows the main body to move relative to the base.
[0009] In this way, the acrylic stand according to the present invention is provided with a connecting part having an attachment part attached to a predetermined part of the main body part and a protrusion part for fitting into a hole in the base part, and the connecting part has a movable mechanism part that connects the main body part and the base part by fitting the protrusion part into the hole in the base part, and makes the main body part movable relative to the base part. This allows the user to change the arrangement of the main body part relative to the base part using the movable mechanism part according to his / her preference, so that the acrylic stand can be decorated in various ways with a rich variety and its decorativeness can be enhanced. For example, the user can decide the manner in which to decorate the acrylic stand depending on the background of the place where the acrylic stand is placed, or taking into consideration the coordination with other acrylic stands placed together, so that the user can enjoy the acrylic stand for a long time without getting bored.
[0010] For example, in the acrylic stand according to the present invention, when the connecting part is made of an acrylic plate, the movable mechanism can be a left-right angle adjustment mechanism configured such that a predetermined portion of the main body and the attachment part of the connecting part are overlapped, and the left-right tilt angle of the main body with respect to the attachment part can be adjusted using a connector attached to a through hole formed in the overlapped part. This allows the user to rotate the main body around the connector and continuously adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body with respect to the connecting part (base part) according to their preference.
[0011] In this case, it is desirable to insert a rubber member between the predetermined portion of the main body and the attachment portion of the connecting part. This rubber member enhances the seal between the predetermined portion of the main body and the attachment portion of the connecting part and prevents slippage, so that the fastening between the predetermined portion of the main body and the attachment portion of the connecting part will not loosen or weaken even if the main body is frequently turned around the connector.
[0012] In addition, in the acrylic stand according to the present invention, the connecting part may be formed in a substantially rectangular shape, an attachment part may be provided at a portion corresponding to one side of the connecting part, and protrusions may be provided at each of the portions corresponding to the three sides other than the portion where the attachment part is provided. In this case, the user can select a protrusion to be fitted into the hole of the base part from among the three protrusions of the connecting part. Since each protrusion is provided at a different position relative to the attachment part, the user can easily change the position and height of the main body part relative to the base part according to his / her preference, simply by changing the protrusion to be fitted into the hole of the base part.
[0013] Furthermore, in the acrylic stand according to the present invention, the connecting part may be formed in a substantially rectangular shape, an attachment part may be provided in a part corresponding to one side of the connecting part, a protrusion part may be provided in a part corresponding to any two sides other than the part where the attachment part is provided, and a long rod-shaped part may be provided in a part corresponding to the remaining side of the connecting part. In this case, the user can select a protrusion part to be fitted into the hole of the base part from the two protrusion parts of the connecting part. Since each protrusion part is provided at a different position relative to the attachment part, the user can easily change the position and height of the main body part relative to the base part according to his / her preference by simply changing the protrusion part to be fitted into the hole of the base part. In addition, a long rod-shaped part is formed in the connecting part. For this reason, when the user takes a picture of the main body part with a smartphone or a camera, for example, the user can remove the connecting part from the base part and hold the rod-shaped part in his / her hand, which allows the distance between the hand and the main body part to be greatly increased, so that the user can easily take a picture of only the main body part without his / her hand appearing in the picture.
[0014] In addition, in the acrylic stand according to the present invention, the base part may be formed in a substantially regular hexagonal shape, and the parts corresponding to the sides of the base part may be provided with connecting protrusions or connecting notches for fitting and connecting with the base parts of other acrylic stands. In this way, if a user owns multiple acrylic stands with various characters drawn on them, the base parts of the acrylic stands can be connected to each other using the connecting protrusions or connecting notches, so that multiple acrylic stands can be integrated. In this case, multiple characters (main bodies) can be made to stand in various ways, and multiple acrylic stands can be decorated in a diorama style. Effect of the Invention
[0015] The acrylic stand according to the present invention is provided with a connecting part having an attachment part attached to a predetermined part of the main body part and a protrusion part for fitting into a hole in the base part, and the connecting part connects the main body part and the base part by fitting the protrusion part into the hole in the base part, and has a movable mechanism part that makes the main body part movable relative to the base part. This allows the user to change the arrangement of the main body part relative to the base part according to their preference using the movable mechanism part, so that the acrylic stand can be decorated in a variety of ways and its decorativeness can be enhanced. Therefore, the user can enjoy the acrylic stand for a long time without getting bored.
[0016] In particular, when the connecting part is made of an acrylic plate, the movable mechanism can be a left-right angle adjustment mechanism configured such that a predetermined portion of the main body and the attachment part of the connecting part are overlapped, and the left-right angle of inclination of the main body with respect to the attachment part can be adjusted using a connector attached to a through hole formed in the overlapped part. This allows the user to rotate the main body around the connector and continuously adjust the left-right angle of inclination of the main body with respect to the connecting part (base part) according to their preference.

[0018] Hereinafter, the mode for carrying out the invention according to the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an acrylic stand according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of a main body of the acrylic stand, Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of a base of the acrylic stand, Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view of a connecting part of the acrylic stand, and Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a connecting state between the main body and the connecting part in the acrylic stand.
[0019] The acrylic stand 1 of this embodiment is an acrylic plate with a desired design set upright, and as shown in Fig. 1, has a main body 10, a base 20, and a connecting part 30. The main body 10, the base 20, and the connecting part 30 are all made of acrylic plates of the same thickness.
[0020] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the main body 10 is made of an acrylic plate on which a desired design is drawn. Specifically, the main body 10 is made by printing a desired design on a transparent acrylic plate and cutting the acrylic plate into a shape corresponding to the printed design. In this embodiment, a girl character is printed on one side of the main body 10. In the example of Figs. 1 and 2, the main body 10 has a vertical width of about 116 mm, a horizontal width of about 39 mm, and a thickness of about 3 mm. In general, the size of the main body 10 is determined according to the design to be printed.
[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a predetermined portion of the main body 10 is an attachment portion 11 that is attached to the connecting portion 30. It is preferable that the attachment portion 11 is provided in a portion of the main body 10 that is unrelated to the design of the printed character so as not to affect the design. In this embodiment, the attachment portion 11 is provided in the lower end portion of the main body 10, that is, in a portion lower than the portion where the character's feet are drawn. Specifically, the attachment portion 11 is formed in a rod shape that extends short downward at the lower portion of the main body 10, as shown in Fig. 2. In this example, the vertical width of the attachment portion 11 of the main body 10 is about 15 mm, and its horizontal width is about 10 mm. The lower end surface of the attachment portion 11 is formed in an approximately semicircular shape. A through hole 12 having a diameter of, for example, about 4 mm is formed in the lower portion of the attachment portion 11. In general, the attachment portion 11 of the main body 10 can be provided in any portion, not limited to the lower end portion of the main body 10.
[0022] The base 20 is for mounting the main body 10 in an upright position, as shown in Fig. 1. In this embodiment, the base 20 is fabricated by processing a transparent acrylic plate into a substantially regular hexagonal shape, as shown in Fig. 3. The length of one side of the substantially regular hexagonal base 20 is approximately 30 mm, and the thickness of the base 20 is approximately 3 mm. Various designs can also be printed on the base 20.
[0023] As shown in FIG. 3, a hole 21 is formed in a predetermined position of the base 20. In this embodiment, the hole 21 is formed in a long and narrow rectangular shape. Specifically, the length of the hole 21 is about 14 mm, and the width is about 3 mm. A protrusion of the connecting part 30, which will be described later, is fitted into the hole 21. Here, the hole 21 is formed in the approximate center of the base 20, but generally, the hole 21 may be formed anywhere in the base 20. For example, the position of the hole 21 formed in the base 20 may be different for each acrylic stand 1.
[0024] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the base 20 has a connecting protrusion 22 or a connecting notch 23 at a portion corresponding to each side thereof for connecting with the base 20 of another acrylic stand 1. Specifically, the base 20 has a connecting protrusion 22 at a portion corresponding to three non-adjacent sides out of six sides thereof, and a connecting notch 23 at a portion corresponding to the remaining three sides. The connecting protrusion 22 and the connecting notch 23 are formed in a shape that fits into each other. Generally, the base 20 used for another acrylic stand 1 with a different design has the same shape and size, except that the hole 21 may be formed at a different position. Therefore, for example, by opposing an edge of the base portion 20 having the connecting protrusion 22 to an edge of the base portion 20 of another acrylic stand 1 having the connecting notch 23 and fitting the opposing connecting protrusion 22 and connecting notch 23 together, it is possible to connect the base portion 20 of the acrylic stand 1 to the base portion 20 of another acrylic stand 1 (see FIG. 8). In addition, since the base portion 20 is formed in a substantially regular hexagonal shape, it is possible to closely connect a plurality of base portions 20 in a honeycomb shape.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting part 30 is for connecting the connecting part 30 and the main body part 10, and is made of a transparent acrylic plate. The thickness of the connecting part 30 is about 3 mm, which is the same as the thickness of the main body part 10. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting part 30 has one attachment part 31 attached to a predetermined part (attachment part 11) of the main body part 10, and three protrusion parts 32, 32, 32 for fitting into the hole part 21 of the base part 20. Specifically, the connecting part 30 is formed in a substantially square shape with a side length of about 20 mm, and the attachment part 31 is provided in a part corresponding to one side of the connecting part 30, and the protrusion part 32 is provided in each of the parts corresponding to the three sides other than the side on which the attachment part 31 is provided. In practice, the four corners of the substantially square connecting part 30 are cut out to form substantially rectangular parts in the parts corresponding to each side of the connecting part 30. Of these, the substantially rectangular parts on the three sides are used as the protrusion part 32. On the other hand, a substantially rectangular portion of the remaining side is formed with a substantially semicircular portion 310 protruding outward, and the substantially rectangular portion of the side and the substantially semicircular portion 310 are used as the attachment portion 31. For example, the size of the above-mentioned substantially rectangular portion, i.e., the protrusion portion 32, is approximately 14 mm long and approximately 3 mm wide. That is, the size of each protrusion portion 32 is approximately the same as the size of the hole portion 21 of the base 20. The diameter of the substantially semicircular portion 310 of the attachment portion 31 is approximately 10 mm. The substantially semicircular portion 310 is formed with a through hole 33 having a diameter of approximately 4 mm. The connecting portion 30 also plays a role of connecting the main body portion 10 and the base portion 20 by fitting the protrusion portion 32 into the hole portion 21 of the base portion 20.
[0026] The connecting part 30 has a movable mechanism that allows the main body part 10 to move relative to the base part 20 when the protrusion part 32 is fitted into the hole part 21 of the base part 20. In this embodiment, a left-right angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body part 10 is used as the movable mechanism. In order to realize this left-right angle adjustment mechanism, the connecting part 30 further has a grommet fitting 41 and a rubber member 42 as shown in Figs. 1 and 5. Here, in Fig. 1, the rubber member 42 is shown by a broken line because the rubber member 42 is located behind the main body part 10. The grommet fitting 41 is used as a connector that connects the main body part 10 and the connecting part 30. In this embodiment, a double-sided grommet with a hole is used as the grommet fitting 41. Although a button-shaped grommet without a hole can be used as the grommet fitting 41, it is preferable to use a double-sided grommet with a hole from the viewpoint of making the connector as inconspicuous as possible. The rubber member 42 is made of, for example, semi-transparent silicone rubber and is formed in a thin ring shape. Silicon rubber has a feature of having a high anti-slip effect. Here, the rubber member 42 has a rectangular cross section when cut on a plane including its central axis. Specifically, the outer diameter of the rubber member 42 is about 10 mm, which is approximately the same as the diameter of the approximately semicircular portion 310 of the attachment portion 31. The thickness of the rubber member 42 is about 1 mm. Furthermore, a hole having a diameter of about 4 mm is formed in the center of the rubber member 42, which is the same as the through holes 12, 33 provided in the attachment portions 11, 31. In this embodiment, the rubber member 42 is made of silicone rubber, but generally it may be made of other resin rubber. The rubber member 42 may have a circular cross section when cut on a plane including its central axis.
[0027] Specifically, the main body 10 and the connecting part 30 are connected as follows. That is, first, the attachment part 11 of the main body 10 and the attachment part 31 of the connecting part 30 are overlapped so that the through hole 12 formed in the attachment part 11 of the main body 10 and the through hole 33 formed in the attachment part 31 of the connecting part 30 are aligned. At this time, a rubber member 42 is inserted between the attachment part 11 of the main body 10 and the attachment part 31 of the connecting part 30. That is, the rubber member 42 is sandwiched between the two attachment parts 11, 31. Thereafter, eyelet fittings 41 are attached to the through holes 12, 33, so that the main body 10 and the connecting part 30 are connected via the rubber member 42, as shown in FIG. 5. At this time, the main body part 10 and the connecting part 30 do not move relative to each other unless the user applies any force, and it is necessary to fasten the main body part 10 and the connecting part 30 with the eyelet metal fittings 41 to such an extent that the main body part 10 (or the connecting part 30) cannot rotate left or right around the connecting part 30 (or the main body part 10) unless the user presses the main body part 10 (or the connecting part 30) with a certain amount of force. This allows the user to continuously adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body part 10 with respect to the connecting part 30 (base part 20) by rotating the main body part 10 around the eyelet metal fittings 41.
[0028] The acrylic stand 1 of this embodiment is mainly used as an ornament for indoor decoration. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing how to adjust the angle of the main body 10 relative to the base 20 in the acrylic stand 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing how to change the position and height of the main body 10 relative to the base 20 in the acrylic stand 1 of this embodiment.
[0029] When assembling the acrylic stand 1 of this embodiment, the user first selects one protrusion 32 to be fitted into the hole 21 of the base 20 from among the three protrusions 32, 32, 32 of the connecting part 30 connected to the main body 10. Then, by fitting the selected protrusion 32 into the hole 21 of the base 20, the acrylic stand 1 with the main body 10 on which the character is drawn is completed as shown in FIG. 1. In the example of FIG. 1, the protrusion 32 on the side facing the attachment part 31 of the connecting part 30 is selected and fitted into the hole 21 of the base 20. When the acrylic stand 1 is completed in this way, the user can adjust the angle of the acrylic stand 1, for example, taking into consideration the background of the place where the acrylic stand 1 is placed and the coordination with other acrylic stands 1 to be placed together. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, by rotating the main body portion 10 around the eyelet fitting 41, the user can continuously adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body portion 10 relative to the connecting portion 30 (base portion 20) according to his / her preference.
[0030] Furthermore, the user can easily change the position and height of the main body part 10 relative to the base part 20 according to his / her preference by changing the protrusion part 32 of the connecting part 30 that is fitted into the hole part 21 of the base part 20. Since each protrusion part 32 is provided at a different position relative to the attachment part 31, for example, as shown in Fig. 7(a), when the protrusion part 32 located next to the attachment part 31 is fitted into the hole part 21 of the base part 20, the position of the main body part 10 relative to the base part 20 can be shifted to the left (or right) and the height can be lowered compared to when the protrusion part 32 facing the attachment part 31 is fitted into the hole part 21 of the base part 20 (Fig. 7(b)).
[0031] Furthermore, if a user has multiple acrylic stands 1 with various characters drawn on them, the base parts 20 can be connected to each other using the connecting protrusions 22 or the connecting notches 23. For example, consider a case where a user has six acrylic stands 1. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a method for connecting six base parts 20. The six base parts 20 can be connected in an H-shape as shown in FIG. 8(a), in a circle as shown in FIG. 8(b), or in a mountain shape as shown in FIG. 8(c). After connecting multiple base parts 20, the user can erect the main body part 10 on each base part 20, thereby integrating multiple acrylic stands 1. Of course, at that time, the user can adjust the left and right tilt angle of the main body part 10 for each acrylic stand 1 by using the left and right angle adjustment mechanism, or change the position and height of the main body part 10 by changing the protrusions 32 of the connecting part 30 that are fitted into the holes 21 of the base part 20. In this way, by having multiple characters (main body parts 10) stand in various ways and placing cloth or the like depicting a desired landscape behind them, multiple acrylic stands 1 can be decorated in a diorama style.
[0032] In the acrylic stand of this embodiment, a connecting part is provided that has an attachment part attached to a predetermined portion (attachment part) of the main body part and a protrusion part for fitting into a hole in the base part, and the connecting part has a movable mechanism part that connects the main body part and the base part by fitting the protrusion part into the hole in the base part, and makes the main body part movable relative to the base part. In particular, as the movable mechanism part, a left-right angle adjustment mechanism part is used in which the attachment part of the main body part and the attachment part of the connecting part are overlapped, and a metal eyelet is attached to a through hole formed in the overlapped part, so that the left-right tilt angle of the main body part relative to the attachment part of the connecting part can be adjusted using the metal eyelet. This allows the user to rotate the main body part around the metal eyelet and continuously adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body part relative to the connecting part (base part) according to their own preference, so that the acrylic stand can be decorated in a variety of different ways and its decorativeness can be enhanced. For example, a user can decide how to decorate the acrylic stand depending on the background of the place where the acrylic stand is placed, or by taking into consideration the coordination with other acrylic stands to be placed together, so that the user can enjoy the acrylic stand for a long time without getting bored.
[0033] In addition, in the acrylic stand of this embodiment, a rubber member is inserted between the attachment part of the main body and the attachment part of the connecting part. This rubber member increases the airtightness between the attachment part of the main body and the attachment part of the connecting part and can suppress slippage, so that even if the main body is frequently turned around the eyelet metal fittings, the fastening between the attachment part of the main body and the attachment part of the connecting part will not loosen or weaken.
[0034] Furthermore, in the acrylic stand of this embodiment, the connecting part is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, an attachment part is provided at a portion corresponding to one side of the connecting part, and protrusions are provided at each of the portions corresponding to the three sides other than the portion where the attachment part is provided. Therefore, the user can select a protrusion to be fitted into the hole of the base part from the three protrusions of the connecting part. Since each protrusion is provided at a different position relative to the attachment part, the user can easily change the position and height of the main body part relative to the base part according to his / her preference by simply changing the protrusion to be fitted into the hole of the base part.
[0035] In addition, in the acrylic stand of this embodiment, the base is formed in a substantially regular hexagonal shape, and the parts corresponding to each side of the base are provided with connecting protrusions or connecting notches for fitting and connecting with the base of other acrylic stands. As a result, if a user owns multiple acrylic stands with various characters drawn on them, the bases of those stands can be connected to each other using the connecting protrusions or connecting notches, so that multiple acrylic stands can be integrated. Moreover, by having each character stand in various ways, multiple acrylic stands can be decorated in a diorama style.
[0036] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.
[0037] In the above embodiment, the case was described where the connecting part is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, an attachment part is provided at a portion corresponding to one side of the connecting part, and a protrusion part is provided at each of the portions corresponding to the three sides other than the portion where the attachment part is provided, but for example, an attachment part may be provided at a portion corresponding to one side of the substantially rectangular connecting part, protrusion parts may be provided at portions corresponding to any two sides other than the portion where the attachment part is provided, and a long rod-shaped part may be provided at the portion corresponding to the remaining side of the connecting part. An example of an acrylic stand configured in this way is shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 is a schematic perspective view of an acrylic stand 1A, which is a modified example of the present invention.
[0038] In the acrylic stand 1A shown in FIG. 9, a long rod-shaped portion 34 is provided on the side of the connecting portion 30A facing the attachment portion 31, and protrusions 32, 32 are provided on the portions corresponding to the other two sides of the connecting portion 30A. The length of the rod-shaped portion 34 is about 200 mm, and its width is about 10 mm. In this case, the user can select the protrusion 33 to be fitted into the hole 21 of the base portion 20 from the two protrusions 33, 33 of the connecting portion 30A, and set the main body portion 10 upright on the base portion 20 as shown in FIG. 9. Since each protrusion 33 is provided on a side adjacent to the attachment portion 31, the user can easily change the position of the main body portion 10 relative to the base portion 20 by simply changing the protrusion 33 to be fitted into the hole 21 of the base portion 20. Furthermore, by providing the long rod-shaped portion 34 on the connecting portion 30A, when a user photographs the main body portion 10 with a smartphone or camera, for example, the user can detach the connecting portion 30A from the base portion 20 and hold the rod-shaped portion 34 in the hand, thereby greatly increasing the distance between the hand and the main body portion 10, and thus easily photograph only the main body portion 10 without the user's hand appearing in the photograph.
[0039] In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the pedestal portion is formed in a substantially regular hexagonal shape has been described, but the shape of the pedestal portion is not limited to a substantially regular hexagonal shape, and may be any shape such as a circle, a square, a triangle, etc. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where one hole portion is formed in the pedestal portion has been described, but a plurality of holes may be formed in the pedestal portion.
[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where a plate-shaped part is used as the connecting part is described, but the connecting part may have a three-dimensional shape. Also, in the above embodiment, the case where three protrusions are provided on the connecting part is described, but the connecting part may have only one protrusion.
[0041] In the above embodiment, the case where the left-right angle adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the left-right tilt angle of the main body 10 is used as the movable mechanism of the connecting part 30 has been described. However, the movable mechanism is not limited to the left-right angle adjustment mechanism, and various mechanisms can be used. For example, a mechanism using a ball joint can be used as the movable mechanism. In this case, a ball joint is attached to the attachment part of the connecting part, and the end of this ball joint is connected to a predetermined part of the main body. This makes the main body rotatable in any direction around the ball joint, so the user can use the movable mechanism to change the position of the main body relative to the base according to his or her preference.
[0042] The movable mechanism may be configured to use two plate-like members as a connecting part, with the two plate-like members supported on a shaft so that one member can rotate back and forth relative to the other member. This allows the user to continuously adjust the forward and backward tilt angle of the main body relative to the connecting part (base) according to their preference by rotating the main body back and forth around the shaft support. [Industrial Applicability]
[0043] As described above, the acrylic stand according to the present invention is provided with a connecting part having an attachment part attached to a predetermined part of the main body part and a protrusion part for fitting into a hole part of the base part, and the connecting part has a movable mechanism part that connects the main body part and the base part by fitting the protrusion part into the hole part of the base part, and makes the main body part movable relative to the base part. This allows the user to change the arrangement of the main body part relative to the base part using the movable mechanism part according to his / her preference, so that the acrylic stand can be decorated in various ways with a rich variety and its decorativeness can be enhanced. Therefore, the user can enjoy the acrylic stand for a long time without getting bored. In particular, when the connecting part is made of an acrylic plate, the movable mechanism part can be configured such that a predetermined part of the main body part and the attachment part of the connecting part are overlapped, and the angle of inclination of the main body part in the left-right direction relative to the attachment part can be adjusted using a connecting tool attached to a through hole formed in the overlapped part. This allows the user to rotate the main body part around the connecting tool and continuously adjust the angle of inclination of the main body part in the left-right direction relative to the connecting part (base part) according to his / her preference. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for use in an acrylic stand having an acrylic plate with a design of a character or the like drawn thereon. [Explanation of symbols]
