[0008] [Stand 10 according to embodiment 1] FIG. 1a is a schematic perspective view of a stand 10 according to a first embodiment. FIG. 1b is a schematic right side view of the stand 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1c is a schematic left side view of the stand 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1d is a schematic right front view of the stand 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1e is a schematic right rear view of the stand 10 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1a to 1e, the stand 10 according to this embodiment includes an L-shaped stand main body 12, a hollow member 14 having a notch X, and a support 16. The notch X of the hollow member 14 has a shape that starts from one opening of the hollow member 14 and continues along the length of the hollow member 14 to the other opening of the hollow member 14. The hollow member 14 is fixed to the stand main body 12 with one end on the front side of the stand main body 12 inserted into the notch X of the hollow member 14. The support 16 is fixed to the stand main body 12 from the rear side of the stand main body 12. This will be explained in detail below.

[0009] (Stand 10) The stand 10 is a device for propping up an object. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a smartphone propped up on the stand 10 according to the first embodiment. The stand 10 according to the first embodiment can prop up various objects other than smartphones. Examples of objects that can be propped up on the stand 10 according to the first embodiment include a calendar, a pen, a pencil, a notepad, and a sacred amulet, in addition to a smartphone.

[0010] (Stand body 12) Fig. 4a is a schematic perspective view of the stand main body 12. Fig. 4b is a schematic right side view of the stand main body 12. Fig. 4c is a schematic plan view of the stand main body 12. As shown in Figs. 4a to 4c, the stand main body 12 has an L-shape. An object such as a smartphone or a calendar can be leaned against the recessed portion of the L-shape.

[0011] An example of the L-shape is a dogleg shape. The size of the angle θ3 forming the L-shape is not limited, but is preferably 0<θ3<180 degrees, more preferably 50 degrees≦θ3≦120 degrees, and even more preferably 80 degrees≦θ3≦100 degrees.

[0012] The stand body 12 is preferably made of paper, but may also be made of resin or metal. Examples of the stand body 12 include cardboard or corrugated cardboard that has been bent.

[0013] It is preferable that the stand main body 12 has a notch Y at one end on the front side of the stand main body 12. In this way, for example, by passing a charging cable or the like through the notch Y, it is possible to charge the smartphone while it is leaned against the stand 10. Note that a through-hole through which a charging cable or the like can be passed is also considered to be an example of the notch Y here.

[0014] The stand body 12 preferably has through holes P for attaching a first fixing member 17 and a second fixing member 18, which will be described later. This point will be described later.

[0015] (Hollow member 14) Fig. 3a is a schematic perspective view showing the hollow member 14. Fig. 3b is a schematic side view of the hollow member 14 as seen from the right side in Fig. 3a. As shown in Figs. 3a and 3b, the hollow member 14 is a hollow member. The hollow member 14 may be a round paper tube, a square paper tube, another paper tube, or a tube made of resin or metal.

[0016] The hollow member 14 has a notch X, which has a shape that starts at one opening of the hollow member 14 and continues along the length of the hollow member 14 to the other opening of the hollow member 14. In other words, the notch X has a linear shape that continues from one end of the hollow member 14 to the other end in the longitudinal direction.

[0017] One end of the stand main body 12 on the front side is inserted into the notch X of the hollow member 14. The hollow member 14 is fixed to the stand main body 12 with one end of the stand main body 12 on the front side inserted into the notch X of the hollow member 14. For example, the one end of the stand main body 12 on the front side and the notch X of the hollow member 14 have a shape that fits into the notch X of the hollow member 14. By fixing the hollow member 14 to the stand main body 12 in this manner, one end of the stand main body 12 is lifted upward, and the stand main body 12 tilts toward the rear side of the stand main body 12 with the protruding portion of the L-shape as a fulcrum. By tilting the stand main body 12 toward the rear side of the stand main body 12, in other words, by tilting the stand main body 12 at an inclination angle θ1, an object such as a smartphone can be stably leaned against the stand main body 12. In the first embodiment, the height to which one end of the stand main body 12 is lifted upward is defined as h1.

[0018] (Support 16) The support body 16 is a member that supports the stand body 12 from the rear side of the stand body 12 so that the stand body 12 does not tip over onto the rear side of the stand body 12. The support body 16 is fixed to the stand body 12 from the rear side of the stand body 12.

[0019] FIG. 5a is a schematic perspective view of the support 16. FIG. 5b is a schematic right side view of the support 16. FIG. 5c is a schematic perspective view of the support 16 viewed from a different angle than FIG. 5a. As shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c, various shapes of members can be used for the support 16, but it is preferable to use an L-shaped member. An example of an L-shape is a dogleg shape. The size of the angle θ4 forming the L-shape is not limited, but is preferably 0<θ4<180 degrees, more preferably 50 degrees≦θ4≦120 degrees, and even more preferably 80 degrees≦θ4≦100 degrees. The support 16 is preferably made of paper, but may also be made of resin or metal. An example of the support 16 is bent cardboard or corrugated cardboard.

[0020] The support 16 preferably has a through-hole Q. Furthermore, the support 16 is preferably arranged so that the through-hole P of the stand main body 12 and the through-hole Q of the support 16 overlap. This point will be described later.

[0021] The support 16 may be fixed to the stand main body 12 so as not to be rotatable, but is preferably fixed so as to be rotatable. In this way, by rotating the support 16, the orientation of the support 16 can be turned upside down, thereby changing the tilt angle of the stand main body 12. In other words, the stand main body 12 can be placed in an upright position (the position of the first embodiment) or in a laid-down position (the position of the second embodiment, which will be described later). In other words, it is possible to switch between the positions of the first embodiment and the second embodiment at any time.

[0022] (First fixing member 17, second fixing member 18) FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18. As described above, the stand main body 12 and the support 16 preferably have through holes P and Q, respectively, and the support 16 is preferably disposed so that the through hole P of the stand main body 12 and the through hole Q of the support 16 overlap. In this case, the stand 10 preferably further includes a first fixing member 17 and a second fixing member 18 fixed to the first fixing member 17, as shown in FIG. 6. The first fixing member 17 is fixed to the second fixing member 18 via the through hole P of the stand main body 12 and the through hole Q of the support 16 so that the support 16 is rotatably fixed to the stand main body 12. With this configuration, the support 16 can be easily rotatably fixed to the stand main body 12.

[0023] Examples of the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18 include metal, resin, and paper members. Examples of the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18 include snap fasteners, for example.

[0024] When the support 16 is fixed to the stand body 12 so as not to be rotatable, the support 16 can be fixed to the stand body 12 using, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or an adhesive.

[0025] [Stand 10 according to embodiment 2] FIG. 2a is a schematic perspective view of a stand 20 according to a second embodiment. FIG. 2b is a schematic right side view of the stand 20 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 2c is a schematic left side view of the stand 20 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 2a to 2c, the stand 20 according to the second embodiment differs from the stand 10 according to the first embodiment in that the orientation of the support 16 is upside down. In other words, the support 16 according to the first embodiment is attached to the stand main body 12 so that the concave portion of the L-shape faces upward (the side opposite to the surface on which the stand 10 is installed) and the convex portion faces downward (toward the surface on which the stand 10 is installed), whereas the support 16 according to the second embodiment is attached to the stand main body 12 so that the convex portion of the L-shape faces upward (the side opposite to the surface on which the stand 10 is installed) and the concave portion faces downward (toward the surface on which the stand 10 is installed). According to the second embodiment, the stand main body 12 can be tilted more toward the rear side of the stand main body 12 than in the first embodiment. In other words, the inclination angle θ2 of the stand main body 12 in embodiment 2 is larger than the inclination angle θ1 of the stand main body 12 in embodiment 1. In embodiment 2, the height to which one end of the stand main body 12 is lifted upward is defined as h2. There is a relationship between embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, for example, h2>h1.

[0026] (Assembly Instructions) 7a to 7d are schematic diagrams showing how to assemble the stands 10 and 20. Fig. 7e is a schematic diagram showing the support 16 rotated 180 degrees (the support 16 turned upside down). Hereinafter, the method of assembling the stands 10 and 20 according to the first and second embodiments will be described with reference to Figs. 7a and 7e.

[0027] 7a to 7c, one end on the front side of the stand main body 12 is inserted into the notch X of the hollow member 14. This fixes the hollow member 14 to the stand main body 12.

[0028] Next, as shown in Fig. 7d, the support body 16 is fixed to the stand body 12 using the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18. In this way, the stand 10 according to the first embodiment is completed.

[0029] Next, as shown in Figure 7e, the support 16 is rotated 180 degrees. In other words, the orientation of the support 16 is turned upside down. This completes the stand 20 according to the second embodiment. In other words, when the support 16 is rotatably fixed to the stand main body 12, the stand 10 according to the first embodiment and the stand 20 according to the second embodiment have the same configuration, and when the L-shaped recess in the support 16 is facing upward, it becomes the stand 10 of the first embodiment, and when it is facing downward, it becomes the stand 20 of the second embodiment. [Example]

[0030] 9, 10, and 11 are photographs showing a prototype of a stand according to Example 1. Example 1 is an example of Embodiment 1. In Example 1, cardboard is used for the stand body 12 and the support body 16, and a round cardboard tube is used for the hollow member 14. Snap fasteners are used for the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18. [Example]

[0031] 12 and 13 are photographs showing a prototype of a stand according to Example 2. Example 2 is an example of Embodiment 2. As with Example 1, Example 2 also uses cardboard for stand body 12 and support body 16, and a round cardboard tube for hollow member 14. Snap fasteners are used for first fixing member 17 and second fixing member 18.

[0032] In Examples 1 and 2, the support 16 is rotatably fixed to the stand body 12. Therefore, the stand according to Example 1 and the stand according to Example 2 have the same configuration, and the state in which the L-shaped recess in the support 16 faces upward is shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11, and the state in which it faces downward is shown in Figures 12 and 13.

[0033] The above describes the embodiments and examples, but the stand body, hollow member, and support body can all be made from paper materials, and if these members are made from paper materials, it is possible to provide a stand that is environmentally friendly, highly sustainable, and can promote the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

[0034] Although the embodiments and examples of the present invention have been described above, these descriptions are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these descriptions in any way. [Explanation of symbols]
