Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stand for decorative items, and more particularly to a stand for decorative items in which the insertion portion of a flat decorative item such as an acrylic figure is inserted into a through-hole to be placed in an upright position. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, decorative items called acrylic figures have appeared, which are made by printing and cutting out images of people, characters, etc. onto transparent acrylic sheets, and the number of people collecting these acrylic figures as a hobby is rapidly increasing. Until a few years ago, the thickness of acrylic figures was standardized to 3mm, but in recent years, 2mm thickness figures have become available in order to reduce the amount of raw material used. Therefore, acrylic figure collectors own many acrylic figures that are both 3mm and 2mm thick. For example, collectors often enjoy placing acrylic figures upright on a shelf or the like by inserting the insert into a hole in a stand as shown in Patent Document 1. [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] However, since there is a mix of 3mm and 2mm thick acrylic figures, if a 2mm thick figure is placed upright in a stand that is designed for 3mm figures, a gap will form between the insertion part and the hole, causing the acrylic figure to wobble.On the other hand, a stand that is designed for 2mm figures will not be able to hold a 3mm thick figure. The present invention was made in response to the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its object is to provide a decorative item stand that can stand upright in the correct position any decorative item, such as an acrylic figure, with a different thickness dimension of the insertion part. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides a stand for an ornament having a peripheral wall portion, a top plate portion formed integrally with the peripheral wall portion, and a rectangular through hole formed in the top plate portion, wherein a plate-shaped insertion portion of the ornament is inserted into the through hole to be set upright, This decorative item stand is characterized in that an inclined piece is provided on the underside of the top plate, and the inclined piece is inclined so as to protrude from the widthwise edge of the through hole into the opposing area of the through hole, and an opposing holding portion is provided that is continuous with the widthwise edge of the through hole and faces the inclined piece, and when the plate-shaped insertion portion of the decorative item is inserted into the through hole, the inclined piece is elastically deformed by the pressing force of the insertion portion, and the insertion portion is clamped in a state where it is pressed against the tip portion of the inclined piece and the opposing holding portion.

[0006] Preferably, the decorative item stand is characterized in that a plurality of through holes are formed in the top plate portion.

[0007] Preferably, the inclined piece is formed with a protrusion that slides against the insertion portion.

[0008] Preferably, the decorative stand is characterized in that a plurality of inclined pieces are arranged side by side on the edge in the width direction of one through hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the decorative item stand of the present invention, decorative items such as acrylic figures having different thicknesses of the insertion portion can be set upright in the correct position. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] A decorative item stand 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The decorative stand 1 is made of polycarbonate. The decorative stand 1 has a peripheral wall 3 and a top plate 5 formed integrally with the peripheral wall 3, and is shaped like the Izu Peninsula. Four rectangular through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13 are formed in the top plate portion 5, and the width of these through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13 is set to a dimension slightly larger than 3 mm. In addition, inclined pieces 15 are provided on the underside of the top plate portion 5, and the inclined pieces 15 are provided at an angle so as to protrude from one edge of the through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13 in the width direction toward the opposing region of the through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13, and are continuous with the width direction edges of the through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13. There are two inclined pieces 15 provided continuous with the width direction edges of the through holes 7 and 13, and there are three inclined pieces 15 provided continuous with the width direction edges of the through holes 9 and 11, respectively. These inclined pieces 15 are arranged with a gap between adjacent inclined pieces 15.

[0012] Since the inclined pieces 15 arranged on the edges of the through holes 7, 9, 11, and 13 all have the same structure, the inclined piece 15 continuing from the edge of the through hole 9 will be used as a representative example and will be explained using Figure 6, which is an enlarged partial view of Figure 4, and Figure 7, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in Figure 4. The inclined piece 15 has protrusions 17 and 19 formed at the left and right ends thereof. Further, an opposing holding portion 21 is provided on the edge of the through holes 7, 9, 11, 13 on the side facing the inclined piece 15.

[0013] Next, a method for erecting the acrylic figures F1 and F2 on the decorative stand 1 will be described. The decorative acrylic figure F1 is a transparent acrylic plate with letters or the like printed and cut out, and has an insertion part F1a at its bottom. The decorative acrylic figure F2 has the same structure as the acrylic figure F1, and also has an insertion part F2a at its bottom. The thickness of the acrylic figure F1 is 2 mm, and the thickness of the insertion portion F1a is also the same. The thickness of the acrylic figure F2 is 3 mm, and the thickness of the insertion portion F2a is also the same.

[0014] As shown in Figure 8, when the insertion portion F1a of the acrylic figure F1 is inserted into the through-holes 7, 9, 11, and 13, the insertion portion F1a comes into sliding contact with the tip portions of the convex portions 17 and 19 of the inclined piece 15, and presses against the inclined piece 15, causing it to elastically deform and descend.The insertion portion F1a is then clamped in a state where it is in pressure contact with the tip portions of the convex portions 17 and 19 of the inclined piece 15 and the opposing holding portion 21. In this way, the insertion portion F1a and the protrusions 17, 19 are in sliding contact with each other, so that the insertion portion F1a can be smoothly lowered.

[0015] Similarly, when the insertion portion F2a of the acrylic figure F2 is inserted into the through-holes 7, 9, 11, and 13, the insertion portion F2a comes into sliding contact with the tip portions of the convex portions 17 and 19 of the inclined piece 15, and presses the inclined piece 15, causing it to elastically deform and descend. Then, the insertion portion F2a is clamped in a state where it is in pressure contact with the tip portions of the convex portions 17 and 19 of the inclined piece 15 and the opposing holding portion 21.

[0016] As described above, the decorative stand 1 is made of polycarbonate and the inclined piece 15 is elastically deformable, so even if the thickness dimensions of the acrylic figures F1 and F2 are different, both the acrylic figures F1 and F2 can be set upright on the top plate portion 5 without wobbling.

[0017] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the invention also includes design changes within the scope of the present invention without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the decorative item stand was made of polycarbonate, but the present invention is not limited to this and other flexible synthetic resins such as polypropylene and ABS resin may be used.

[0018] In the above embodiment, an acrylic figure is shown as the decorative item, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to decorative items other than acrylic figures as long as they have a flat insertion portion, and the material of the decorative item is not limited to acrylic resin but may be made of other synthetic resins. The decorative stand shown is shaped like the Izu Peninsula, but it goes without saying that other shapes are also acceptable. The number of through holes can be changed as appropriate depending on the shape, size, etc. of the decorative item stand. The number of inclined pieces can also be changed appropriately according to the length of the through hole. [Industrial Applicability]

[0019] The present invention is applicable to the manufacturing and sales of decorative stand products. [Explanation of symbols]
