Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the panel 2 with a stand includes a panel 10 and a stand 20 that is detachable from the panel 10.

[0014] The panel 10 includes a panel body 12 and a protrusion 14 provided on the panel body 12.

[0015] The panel body 12 is formed in a plate shape and decorated with a predetermined pattern Z1. The contour of the panel body 12 preferably follows the pattern Z1. As the forming material of the panel body 12, plastic is used, for example, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polycarbonate, acrylic resin, etc.

[0016] The protrusion 14 extends from the lower part of the panel body 12 in the state where the panel 2 with a stand is in use. The protrusion 14 is preferably located at the horizontal center in the panel body 12. The material for forming the protrusion 14 is preferably plastic, which is the same as the panel body 12. Note that the protrusion 14 is preferably integrated with the panel body 12.

[0017] As a whole, the stand 20 is spherical with the axis AX1 as the center, and includes an upper case 21 (seal side case), a lower case 22 (lid side case), and a detachable structure 30 for detachably attaching the upper case 21 and the lower case 22. Note that the height H20 of the stand 20 is not particularly limited as long as it does not go against the gist of the present invention, but it is preferably 1 cm or more and 10 cm or less, more preferably 1 cm or more and 5 cm or less, and even more preferably 1 cm or more and 3 cm or less.

[0018] The upper case 21 is formed in a hemispherical shape with the axis AX1 as the center. The upper surface portion 21T is a curved surface protruding upward, while the lower surface portion 21B is flat. A pattern Z2 of the hemispherical portion of a baseball is applied to the upper surface portion 21T. A top portion 21P is formed at the tip of the upper surface portion 21T, and the top portion 21P is formed flat. An insertion hole 21PX is formed in the top portion 21P. The insertion hole 21PX is formed in a rectangular shape, and the axis AX1 of the upper case 21 passes through the insertion hole 21PX. A seal 24 is provided on the lower surface portion 21B. The insertion hole 21PX extends in the radial direction centered on the axis AX1.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4(A), the seal 24 projects downward from the lower surface portion 21B of the upper case 21, and includes a printing portion 24A and a seal holding post portion 24T for holding the printing portion 24A at its tip. The seal holding post portion 24T is formed in a columnar shape centered on the axis AX1 and is provided concentrically with respect to the upper case 21. The printing portion 24A is formed in a disc shape centered on the axis AX1 and is provided coaxially with respect to the upper case 21. A seal is applied to the printing portion 24A. The diameter of the printing portion 24A is not particularly limited as long as it does not contravene the gist of the present invention, but is preferably 0.5 cm or more and 5 cm or less, and more preferably 0.5 cm or more and 3 cm or less.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4(B), the lower case 22 is formed in a hemispherical shape centered on the axis AX1. While the upper surface portion 22T is flat, the lower surface portion 22B is a curved surface that projects downward. A circular receiving hole 22TX centered on the axis AX1 is formed in the upper surface portion 22T. The receiving hole 22TX is provided coaxially with respect to the lower case 22. The receiving hole 22TX serves as a receiving space for the seal 24 provided in the upper case 21. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3(B), a pattern Z3 of the hemispherical portion of a baseball is applied to the lower surface portion 22B. A bottom portion 22V is formed at the protruding end of the lower surface portion 22B, and the bottom portion 22V is formed flat.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the detachable structure 30 includes an engaging piece 31 (upper engaging mechanism) provided in the upper case 21 and a lower engaging mechanism 32 provided in the lower case 22.

[0022] The engaging piece 31 includes an engaging piece 31 that projects in the radial direction of itself from the circumferential surface of the lower end portion of the seal holding post portion 24T. In the figure, two engaging pieces 31 are provided and are formed at intervals of 180° in the circumferential direction on the circumferential surface of the seal holding post portion 24T.

[0023] The lower engaging mechanism 32 includes a rotation restricting groove portion 32A and a rotation allowing groove portion 32B.

[0024] The rotation restriction groove portion 32A extends vertically on the wall surface of the accommodation hole 22TX (Figs. 2 and 5). The upper part is open to the external space, and the lower part communicates with the rotation allowance groove portion 32B. Therefore, the engagement piece 31 can be inserted from above the rotation restriction groove portion 32A. Then, the engagement piece 31 reaches the rotation allowance groove portion 32B through the rotation restriction groove portion 32A (Figs. 6 and 7).

[0025] As shown in Fig. 6(A), when the engagement piece 31 is positioned in the rotation restriction groove portion 32A, the upper case 21 is in a rotation restriction state where the rotation operation is restricted with respect to the lower case 22, and at the same time, it is in a forward / backward allowance state (connection release state) where the vertical movement is allowed. At this time, since the rotation restriction groove portion 32A engages with the engagement piece 31, the upper case 21 is allowed to perform a forward / backward operation with respect to the lower case 22, while the rotation operation with respect to the lower case 22 is restricted.

[0026] The rotation allowance groove portion 32B is provided on the lower side of the rotation restriction groove portion 32A and is formed circumferentially on the wall surface of the accommodation hole 22TX. The rotation allowance groove portion 32B communicates with the lower side of the rotation restriction groove portion 32A and allows the engagement piece 31 to pass through. The formed length of the rotation allowance groove portion 32B is 90° around the axis AX1.

[0027] When the engagement piece 31 is positioned at the intersection of the rotation restriction groove portion 32A and the rotation allowance groove portion 32B, the upper case 21 is in a rotation allowance state where the rotation operation is allowed with respect to the lower case 22, and at the same time, it is in a forward / backward allowance state where the forward / backward operation is allowed (Figs. 6(B) and 7(A)). When the engagement piece 31 is positioned in the rotation allowance groove portion 32B, the upper case 21 is in a rotation allowance state with respect to the lower case 22 and at the same time is in a forward / backward restriction state (connection state) where the vertical movement is restricted (Fig. 7(B)).

[0028] Next, the manufacturing method of the panel 2 with a stand will be described.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 2, the lower case 22 and the upper case 21 are arranged so that the seal 24 faces the accommodation hole 22TX and the engagement piece 31 faces the rotation restriction groove portion 32A.

[0030] Next, bring the upper case 21 closer to the lower case 22 so that the stamp 24 is inserted into the receiving hole 22TX and the engaging piece 31 is inserted into the rotation restricting groove portion 32A (FIG. 6(A)). When the upper surface portion 22T of the lower case 22 and the lower surface portion 21B of the upper case 21 come into contact with each other, the engaging piece 31 is positioned at the intersection of the rotation restricting groove portion 32A and the rotation allowing groove portion 32B (FIG. 6(B)). As a result, the upper case 21 is rotatable about the axis AX1 with respect to the lower case 22 (FIG. 7(A)). Then, when the upper case 21 is rotated with respect to the lower case 22, the engaging piece 31 moves away from the rotation restricting groove portion 32A. At this time, the vertical movement of the upper case 21 with respect to the lower case 22 is restricted. Further perform a rotation operation so that the engaging piece 31 abuts against the end of the rotation allowing groove portion 32B (FIG. 7(B)). At this time, the upper case 21 is attached to the lower case 22.

[0031] Next, by inserting the protruding portion 14 of the panel 10 into the insertion hole 21PX of the upper case 21, the panel 10 is integrated with the stand 20, and the panel 2 with a stand is completed.

[0032] Next, the usage method of the panel 2 with a stand will be described.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, by arranging the stand 20 downward and the panel 10 upward, the stand 20 functions as a stand for the panel 10. As a result, the user can enjoy the pattern Z1 drawn on the panel 10.

[0034] Furthermore, when the upper case 21 is removed from the lower case 22 by the rotation operation and the forward and backward movement operation of the upper case 21 with respect to the lower case 22, the stamp 24 of the upper case 21 is exposed. Then, by pressing the printing portion 24A against the red ink containing ink, the shadow of the printing portion 24A can be applied to paper or the like.

[0035] At this time, since the panel 10 is integrated with the upper case 21, the rotation operation of the panel 10 enables the upper case 21 to rotate with respect to the lower case 22. Similarly, since the insertion hole 21PX is formed in the upper case 21, the upper case 21 can be rotated with respect to the lower case 22 by hooking a claw on the insertion hole 21PX or inserting another object into the insertion hole 21PX. Thus, the stand 20 and the panel 2 with a stand in which the insertion hole 21PX is formed are easier to rotate than the stand 20 in which the insertion hole 21PX is not formed.

[0036] Also, when pressing the printing part 24A against the vermilion pigment or paper containing ink, the panel 10 may be held or the panel 10 may be removed from the upper case 21. In the former case, the orientation of the printing part 24A can be adjusted with reference to the orientation of the panel 10. In the latter case, the orientation of the printing part 24A can be adjusted with reference to the orientation of the insertion hole 21PX. Further, in the latter case, since the upper case 21 is hemispherical, the pressing force on the printing part 24A can be made uniform in the circumferential direction.

[0037] Since the insertion hole 21PX is formed in the upper case 21, the center of gravity of the stand 20 alone is located downward, so it is stable. Also, when the forming material of the upper case 21 is heavier than the forming material of the panel 10, the panel 10 is likely to be stable in an upright state when used as the panel 2 with a stand. Further, when the lower case 22 is heavier than the upper case 21, the center of gravity of the stand 20 alone is located downward, so it is stable, and when used as the panel 2 with a stand, the panel 10 is likely to be stable in an upright state.

[0038] When used as the panel 2 with a stand, the seal 24 is hidden, so there is no need to expose the seal 24. And when using the seal 24, it can be used by the advancing / retreating operation and the rotation operation of the upper case 21 and the lower case 22. Thus, by the advancing / retreating operation and the rotation operation of the upper case 21 and the lower case 22, it is possible to switch between using it as the panel 2 with a stand and using it as the seal 24.

[0039] The stand 20, that is, predetermined patterns Z2 and Z3 are applied to the upper surface portion 21T of the upper case 21 and the lower surface portion 22B of the lower case 22. Since the patterns Z2 and Z3 can be individually changed, not only is the design variation of the stand 20 rich, but also the design variation of the panel 2 with a stand is rich by the combination with the pattern Z1 of the panel 10.

[0040] In addition, in the advancing / retreating allowable state where the engaging piece 31 is located in the rotation restricting groove portion 32A (FIG. 6(A)), the pattern of the pattern Z2 of the upper case 21 and the pattern of the pattern Z3 of the lower case 22 do not match. In the rotation allowable state where the engaging piece 31 is located in the rotation allowable groove portion 32B and the advancing / retreating restricting state (FIG. 7(B)), it is preferable that the pattern of the pattern Z2 of the upper case 21 and the pattern of the pattern Z3 of the lower case 22 match. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether it is in the rotation allowable state and the advancing / retreating restricting state (FIG. 7(B)) or in the rotation restricting state and the advancing / retreating allowable state (FIG. 6(A)) according to whether the patterns of the patterns Z2 and Z3 match. When the engaging piece 31 abuts on the end portion of the rotation allowable groove portion 32B (FIG. 7(B)), it is more preferable that the pattern of the pattern Z2 of the upper case 21 and the pattern of the pattern Z3 of the lower case 22 match.

[0041] Similarly, in the advancing / retreating allowable state where the engaging piece 31 is located in the rotation restricting groove portion 32A (FIG. 6(A)), the shape of the upper case 21 and the shape of the lower case 22 are smoothly continuous. On the other hand, in the rotation allowable state where the engaging piece 31 is located in the rotation allowable groove portion 32B and the advancing / retreating restricting state (FIG. 7(B)), it is preferable that the shape of the upper case 21 and the shape of the lower case 22 are not smoothly continuous and are discontinuous. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether it is in the rotation allowable state and the advancing / retreating restricting state (FIG. 7(B)) or in the rotation restricting state and the advancing / retreating allowable state (FIG. 6(A)) according to whether the shape of the upper case 21 and the shape of the lower case 22 are smoothly continuous.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the upper case 21 and the lower case 22 are hemispherical, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a spherical crown shape may also be used.

[0043] Also, although the stand 20 formed by integrating the upper case 21 and the lower case 22 is spherical, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may have a columnar shape, a conical shape, a frustum shape, or other shapes.

[0044] In the above embodiment, two engaging pieces 31 are provided and arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction on the circumferential surface of the mark holding column portion 24T. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and three or more engaging pieces 31 may be provided. And the engaging pieces 31 are preferably formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the circumferential surface of the mark holding column portion 24T.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the insertion hole 21PX is formed in a rectangular shape extending in the radial direction centered on the axis AX1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may extend in the radial direction of the arc-shaped locus in the rotation operation between the upper case 21 and the lower case 22.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the formation length of the rotation allowance groove portion 32B is 90° around the axis AX1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be 10° or more and less than 90°, or may be more than 90° and less than 180°.

[0047] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
