[0008] The best mode of the present invention will now be described with reference to the following examples. Example 1

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is an external perspective view of a display aid according to an embodiment of the present invention in an expanded state, and Figure 2 is a front plan view of Figure 1. In these figures, 1 is a display aid that allows a number of products with square mounts to be displayed upright. In the display aid 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are four bottom walls spaced apart from each other on the left and right, 11, 12, and 13 are intermediate vertical walls connected to adjacent bottom walls with folds 21, 22, and so on extending forward and backward, and 31 and 32 are two left and right vertical walls connected to the left outer side of the left end bottom wall 2 and the right outer side of the right end bottom wall 5 with folds 41 and 42 extending forward and backward, respectively. The left end vertical wall 31, bottom wall 2, intermediate vertical wall 11, bottom wall 3, intermediate vertical wall 12, bottom wall 4, intermediate vertical wall 13, bottom wall 5, and right end vertical wall 32 are linearly arranged in the left-right direction. 1 and 2 show the display aid 1 in an unfolded state, with the entire device having a rectangular shape in plan view.

[0010] The intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, 13 are folded 180 degrees from the central folds 51, 52, 53 extending front to back at the top end to form a pair of right side wall portion 61 and left side wall portion 62 that are back to back when upright. A left bottom frame portion 63 and a right bottom frame portion 64 that protrude upward and extend in the front to back direction are provided on the upper surface of the left and right ends of each of the bottom wall portions 2, 3, 4, 5. The left bottom frame portion 63 and the right bottom frame portion 64 face each other and are formed symmetrically. The left bottom frame portion 63 includes five triangular prism-shaped protrusions 63a-63e that are equally spaced apart from each other in a straight line in the front-to-back direction, and four grooves 63A-63D are formed between each of the protrusions 63a-63e. The right bottom frame portion 64 includes five triangular prism-shaped protrusions 64a-64e that are equally spaced apart from each other in a straight line in the front-to-back direction, and four grooves 64A-64D are formed between each of the protrusions 64a-64e. Each of the protrusions 63a-63e, 64a-64e has a 45 degree inclined surface on both the left and right sides of the top edge. The protrusions 63a to 63e face the protrusions 64a to 64e, respectively, and the grooves 63A to 63D face the grooves 64A to 64D.

[0011] A left inner frame portion 71 is provided on the upper surface (the right surface when raised 90 degrees) of the left end vertical wall portion 31 before folding, which protrudes upward and extends in the front-rear direction. The left inner frame portion 71 includes five trapezoidal projections 71a to 71e of the same shape that are linearly arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, and four grooves 71A to 71D are formed between each of the projections 71a to 71e. The right end portions (the lower portions when raised 90 degrees) of the projections 71a to 71e form 45 degree inclined surfaces 710. When the left end vertical wall portion 31 is folded at the crease 81 between the left end bottom wall portion 2 and set up vertically, the inclined surfaces 710 of the projections 71a to 71e of the left inner frame portion 71 come into contact with the right inclined surfaces 630 of the projections 63a to 63e of the left bottom frame portion 63, so that folding beyond 90 degrees is restricted.

[0012] A right inner frame portion 72 that protrudes upward and extends in the front-rear direction is provided on the upper surface (left surface when raised 90 degrees) of the right end vertical wall portion 32 before folding. The right inner frame portion 72 includes five trapezoidal projections 72a to 72e that are equally shaped and linearly arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, and four grooves 72A to 72D are formed between each of the projections 72a to 72e. The left end portions (lower portions when raised 90 degrees) of the projections 72a to 72e form 45-degree inclined surfaces 720. When the right end vertical wall portion 32 is folded at the crease 82 between the right end bottom wall portion 5 and set up vertically, the inclined surfaces 720 of the projections 72a to 72e of the right inner frame portion 72 come into contact with and are restricted by the left inclined surfaces 640 of the projections 64a to 63e of the right bottom frame portion 64. The protrusions 63a to 63e, the protrusions 64a to 64e, the protrusions 71a to 71e, and the protrusions 72a to 72e are formed to have the same length in the front-rear direction, and are also provided at the same intervals between them.

[0013] A left inner frame portion 71 that protrudes upward and extends in the front-rear direction is provided on the upper surface (the right surface when raised 90 degrees) of the right side wall portion 61 of each of the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, 13 before folding. When each left inner wall portion 61 is folded along the crease between the low wall portions 2, 3, 4 and stood vertically, the lower inclined surfaces 710 of the projections 71a-71e of the left inner frame portion 71 abut against the left inclined surfaces 610 of the projections 63a-63e of the left bottom frame portion 63, thereby limiting folding beyond 90 degrees. A right inner frame portion 72 that protrudes upward and extends in the front-rear direction is provided on the upper surface (the left surface when raised 90 degrees) of the left wall portion 62 of each of the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, 13 before folding. When each right inner wall portion 62 is folded along the crease between the bottom walls 2, 3, 4 and stood vertically, the lower inclined surfaces 720 of the projections 72a-72e of the right inner frame portion 72 abut against the right inclined surfaces 640 of the projections 64a-64e of the right bottom frame portion 64, limiting folding beyond 90 degrees.

[0014] When the left end vertical wall portion 31, the right end vertical wall portion 32, and the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 are raised vertically, the left inner frame portion 71 and the right inner frame portion 72 face each other. The opposing left inner frame portion 71 and right inner frame portion 72 are formed symmetrically. The projections 71a to 71e of the opposing left inner frame portion 71 and right inner frame portion 72 face each other, respectively, and the grooves 71A to 71D face each other, respectively, the grooves 72A to 72D. Grooves 71A-71D of left inner frame portion 71, grooves 63A-63D and grooves 64A-64D of left bottom frame portion 63, grooves 64A-64D of right bottom frame portion 64, and grooves 72A-72D of right inner frame portion 72 are provided at the same position in the front-to-rear direction.

[0015] Five storage spaces S1 to S5 are formed from the left when the left end vertical wall portion 31, the right end vertical wall portion 32, and the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 are stood perpendicular to the bottom walls 2, 3, 4, and 5. In each of the storage spaces S1 to S5, grooves at the same position in the front-to-rear direction of the left inner frame portion 71, the left bottom frame portion 63, the right bottom frame portion 64, and the right inner frame portion 72 are connected in a straight line in the left-to-right direction in a plan view, thereby forming four independent product support grooves 91, 92, 93, and 94 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0016] Specifically, in each of the storage spaces S1 to S5, the grooves 71A, 63A, 64A, and 72A are connected in a horizontal straight line in a plan view to form a product support groove portion 91. For example, one product with a mount (see reference numeral 110 in FIG. 4) can be supported in an upright state in this product support groove portion 91. The grooves 71A and 61A support the lower left portion of one product in an L-shape, and the grooves 72A and 62A support the lower right portion of the product in an L-shape. Similarly, grooves 71B, 61B, 62B, and 72B are connected in a horizontal line in a plan view to form product support groove portion 92, grooves 71C, 61C, 62C, and 72C are connected in a horizontal line in a plan view to form product support groove portion 93, and grooves 71D, 61D, 62D, and 72D are connected in a horizontal line in a plan view to form product support groove portion 94. Each of product support groove portions 92 to 94 can also individually support a product with a mount (see reference numeral 110 in FIG. 4) in an upright state.

[0017] The display aid 1 is made of plastic such as PET, and is molded as a single piece. Each fold 21, 22, ... is a perforation, and is formed to be cuttable. In addition, all of the protrusions 63a-63e, 64a-64e, 71a-71e, 72a-72e of the left bottom frame portion 63, the right bottom frame portion 64, the left inner frame portion 71, and the right inner frame portion 72 are formed to be hollow inside.

[0018] Next, a method of using the display aid 1 will be described with reference to Figs. While keeping the bottom walls 2, 3, 4, and 5 horizontal, from the left, folds 81 and 21 are folded 90 degrees in a valley, fold 51 is folded 180 degrees in a mountain, fold 22 and 23 are folded 90 degrees in a valley, fold 52 is folded 180 degrees in a mountain, fold 24 and 25 are folded 90 degrees in a valley, fold 53 is folded 180 degrees in a mountain, and fold 26 and 82 are folded 90 degrees in a valley. Then, the left end vertical wall 31 stands vertically on the left side of the bottom wall 2, the folds 51, 52, and 53 are at the top, the middle vertical wall 11 stands vertically between the bottom walls 2 and 3, the middle vertical wall 12 stands vertically between the bottom walls 3 and 4, the middle vertical wall 13 stands vertically between the bottom walls 4 and 5, and the right end vertical wall 32 stands vertically on the right side of the bottom wall 5. In this state, the display box 100 is stored.

[0019] The left end vertical wall portion 31 is supported vertically with the lower part of the left inner frame portion 71 abutting against the left bottom frame portion 63, and is restricted from being bent more than 90 degrees in the clockwise direction (tilting more than vertical). The right end vertical wall portion 32 is supported vertically with the lower part of the right inner frame portion 72 abutting against the right bottom frame portion 64, and is restricted from being bent more than 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction (tilting more than vertical). In each of the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13, the right inner wall portion 61 is supported vertically with the lower portion of the right inner frame portion 72 abutting against the right bottom frame portion 64, while bending clockwise beyond 90 degrees (tilting beyond vertical) is restricted, and the left inner wall portion 62 is supported vertically with the lower portion of the left inner frame portion 71 abutting against the left bottom frame portion 63, while bending counterclockwise beyond 90 degrees (tilting beyond vertical) is restricted. As a result, each of the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 is supported vertically, while tilting in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is restricted.

[0020] In the display aid 1, four storage spaces S1 to S4 are formed from the left, and four product support grooves 91 to 94 are formed at intervals in the front-rear direction in each of the storage spaces S1 to S4. Therefore, by preparing a large number of rectangular products 110 with mounts and removably inserting the ends of each product 110 into the product support grooves 91 to 94 of each of the storage spaces S1 to S4, it becomes possible to display a large number of products 110 in an upright state.

[0021] Even if an external force is applied to the upper part of the middle vertical wall part 11 in a rightward direction during display, the lower inclined surface 710 of the left inner frame part 71 abuts against the inclined surface 630 of the left bottom frame part 63 to limit the inclination, so that a stable shape can be maintained. Conversely, even if an external force is applied to the upper part of the middle vertical wall part 11 in a leftward direction, the lower inclined surface 720 of the right inner frame part 72 abuts against the inclined surfaces 640 of the projections 64a to 64e of the right bottom frame part 64 to limit the inclination, so that a stable shape can be maintained. The same applies when an external force is applied to the other middle vertical wall parts 12, 13, 14, the left end vertical wall part 71, or the right end vertical wall part 72. It should be noted that by cutting it off in advance, for example at crease 51, it can be stored in a smaller display box. Also, the product does not necessarily have to come with a mount.

[0022] According to this embodiment, the left vertical wall portion 31, the right vertical wall portion 32 and the middle vertical wall portions 11, 12 and 13 are folded so as to stand vertically relative to the bottom wall portions 2, 3, 4 and 5 and stored in the display box 100. By simply inserting the ends of each product 110 into the product support groove portions 91, 92, 93 and 94, a large number of products 110 can be displayed in an upright state. In addition, since the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 can be held vertically relative to the bottom wall portions 2, 3, 4, and 5 by bending, a separate structure for supporting the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 is not required. In addition, by cutting the intermediate vertical wall portions 11, 12, and 13 at the fold lines, storage boxes of different sizes can be easily accommodated. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] The present invention is applicable to cases where it is desired to display a large number of products, with or without mounts, for sales, exhibition, or the like. [Explanation of symbols]
