[0015] As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the turntable 6 includes a disk portion 6A on the Y+ side, and on the back surface of the disk portion 6A on the Y− side, an annular gear 6G that protrudes from the back surface 6AB of the disk portion 6A toward the Y− side is provided. The diameter of the gear 6G is smaller than the diameter of the turntable 6. Note that the diameter of the gear 6G may be the same as the diameter of the turntable 6. The inside of the gear 6G is hollowed out in a cylindrical shape. And at the center of the back surface 6AB of the turntable, a columnar protruding shaft 6S that protrudes toward the Y− side is provided. The protruding shaft 6S is rotatably supported by the first through hole 1H via a bearing 2.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, a memo book 10 with circular stickers 10P laminated thereon is attached to the surface on the Y+ side of the turntable 6. The stickers 10P are bonded together with a peelable adhesive, and the lowermost sticker 10P of the memo book 10 is adhered to the surface of the turntable 6.

[0017] The upper part of the upper cover 7 is connected to the back plate 1 by a hinge portion 7R so as to be openable and closable. During use, the upper cover 7 is fixed so as to cover the surface (front) on the Y+ side of the turntable 6.

[0018] After closing the upper cover 7, there is a predetermined gap between the upper cover 7 and the turntable 6, and the above-mentioned memo book 10 can be attached and accommodated on the turntable 6. At the end on the Z− side of the upper cover 7, a notch portion 7K that is cut out in an inverted U shape (open on the Z− side) is provided. Only a part of the paper surface of the sticker 10P attached to the turntable 6 that overlaps the notch portion 7K in the Y direction is visible and displayed to the user.

[0019] The lower cover 8 is provided on the Z− side of the upper cover 7 and is connected and fixed to the back plate 1 by screws. The lower cover 8 is provided with an opening 8S having the same size, shape, and overlapping in the Y direction as the above-mentioned sliding groove 1S.

[0020] The base portion 3B of the sliding shaft 3 described above is disposed within the sliding groove 1S of the back plate 1, and the shaft portion 3A of the sliding shaft 3 is inserted into the third through hole 4H3 of the rotary lever 4 and further disposed within the opening 8S of the lower cover 8. Also, a positioning shaft 1P is inserted into the second through hole 4H2 of the rotary lever 4.

[0021] The spring 5 is a torsion spring. The spring 5 is composed of a spring coil portion 5C, a first rotary arm 5R1, and a second rotary arm 5R2. The spring coil portion 5C is disposed on the Y+ side of the second through hole 4H2 of the rotary lever 4, and the positioning shaft 1P of the back plate 1 penetrates through the spring coil portion 5C. Both the first rotary arm 5R1 and the second rotary arm 5R2 are hook-shaped rotary arms. The tip of the first rotary arm 5R1 is fixed to the spring locking hole 4N of the rotary lever 4, and the tip of the second rotary arm 5R2 is brought into contact with an inner surface (not shown) of the lower cover 8. The positioning shaft 1P serves as the rotation center of the rotary lever 4.

[0022] The Y - side end of the switch 9 is connected to the Y+ side end of the shaft portion 3A of the sliding shaft 3, and the Y+ side end of the switch 9 protrudes externally through the opening 8S of the lower cover 8. In the assembled state of the memo box 100, the rotary lever 4 is biased by the spring 5, and the switch 9 is located at the far right of the opening 8S of the lower cover as shown in FIG. 2. At this time, the plurality of protrusions 4T are not engaged with the gear 6G of the turntable 6.

[0023] In this way, the memo box 100 includes a rotation mechanism 30 composed of a positioning shaft 1P, a sliding shaft 3, a rotary lever 4, a spring 5, and a turntable 6. The user operates the switch 9 to control the rotation of the turntable 6 via the sliding shaft 3 and the rotary lever 4.

[0024] Next, the usage method when the memo box 100 is used as a roulette will be described. First, the user opens the upper cover 7 and uses a pen or the like to draw a desired character board on a new sticky note 10P of the memo pad 10 (if the uppermost sticky note 10P has been used for other purposes, peel off the used sticky note 10P). When the upper cover 7 is closed, the preparation is complete. At this time, the initial position of the switch 9 is at the X+ side end (right end) of the opening 8S of the lower cover 8.

[0025] Next, the user slides the switch 9 along the opening 8S of the lower cover 8 from the right end in an arc shape with a finger toward the X- side. In conjunction with this, the sliding shaft 3 moves toward the X- side along the opening 8S, and a plurality of protrusions 4T of the rotary lever 4 are inserted into the second through hole 4H2 and rotate to the right around the positioning shaft 1P until they mesh with the gear 6G of the turntable 6 under the drive of the sliding shaft 3. At this time, the spring 5 set on the rotary lever 4 is compressed and further biased.

[0026] Here, the user releases the finger from the switch 9. Then, the rotary lever 4 rotates to the left around the positioning shaft 1P inserted into the second through hole 4H2 by the repulsive force of the spring 5 to the original position. At the same time, the sliding shaft 3 is driven by the rotary lever 4 and moves to the X+ side end (right end) along the opening 8S, and the switch 9 set on the sliding shaft 3 also quickly slides back to the X+ side (right) along the opening 8S of the lower cover 8.

[0027] When releasing the finger, since a plurality of protrusions 4T provided on the rotary lever 4 are meshed with the gear 6G of the turntable 6, the turntable 6 rotates in the opposite right direction in conjunction with the left rotation of the rotary lever 4. When the rotation of the turntable 6 stops, the user can view the content such as the characters written on the memo pad 10 through the U-shaped notch 7K of the upper cover 7, and an entertainment effect can be obtained. Note that by moving the switch 9 to the left during the rotation of the turntable 6, the protrusion 4T of the rotary lever 4 can be made to interfere with the gear 6G, and the rotation of the turntable 6 can be forcibly stopped.

[0028] According to the turntable type memo box according to Embodiment 1, a turntable type memo box excellent in removability and entertainment can be provided. In addition, since the memo pad is formed by laminating a plurality of circular sticky notes 10P, it can be freely written according to the application. The unnecessary sticky note 10P can be peeled off and discarded. The user can use the new sticky note 10P in the lower layer for other purposes.

[0029] Embodiment 2. Hereinafter, the turntable type memo box according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to the drawings, centering on the parts different from Embodiment 1. FIG. 6 is a front view of a turntable type memo box 200 (hereinafter simply referred to as a memo box 200). FIG. 7A is a rear view of the memo box 200. FIG. 7B is a front view of the pen 20. FIG. 8 is a view showing a state where the pen 20 is attached to the rear surface 200B of the memo box 200. The pen 20 is used by the user to write characters, figures, etc. on the memo pad 10. The pen 20 includes a flat plate-shaped main body 20B and an ink shaft 20C built in the main body 20B in the Z direction, and a pen tip 20T protrudes from one end of the main body 20B. The main body 20B is provided with two protruding portions 20D formed in parallel and protruding from the surface.

[0030] On the rear surface 200B on the Y - side of the back plate 1 of the memo box 100, two grooves 1M are formed in parallel in the Z direction. Further, at the end on the Z + side of the rear surface 200B of the back plate 1, a pen tip holder 20H into which the pen tip 20T of the pen 20 is inserted is formed.

[0031] When the pen 20 is not used, the pen tip 20T of the pen 20 is stored in the pen tip holder 20H, and the two protruding portions 20D of the main body 20B are respectively fitted into the grooves 1M of the back plate 1 and held. In this way, the pen 20 is detachable from the memo box 200.

[0032] In Embodiment 1, a notch 7K was provided in the upper cover 7 so that only a part of the memo pad was visible to the user. However, the upper cover 207 of the memo box 200 is a transparent cover through which the entire memo pad 10 can be seen, and is interchangeable with a cover such as the upper cover 7 described in Embodiment 1 through which only a part of the sticky note 10P is visible.

[0033] According to the turntable type memo box 200 according to Embodiment 2, the same effects as those of Embodiment 1 are achieved. In addition, since the pen 20 can be attached to and stored in the memo box 200, the memo box 200 can be used whenever necessary. In addition, since the upper cover 207 is interchangeable, an appropriate upper cover can be selected according to the application. For example, when selecting two people from a plurality of people, it is advisable to use a cover having two notches.
