Abstract

To provide a structure capable of holding a paper fan without holding it by a hand, having no special pasting work, capable of simply assembling, capable of increasing the strength of a grip part, and capable of enhancing an advertising effect by attaching it to a bag or a hook.SOLUTION: The handle parts 1, 2 of the structure are not folded in two completely when they are inserted, but are folded in two by a little shorter distance, so that the handle parts become a plane, the whole strength is increased, and the same wind force as that of a thick paper can be obtained even with a thin paper. A hook 5 which can be attached to a closed hole only by crossing it from the surface of a handkerchief is built in, and it can be hung on a bag or the like by removing it and simply assembling and attaching it, and the appealing effect as an advertisement can be enhanced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention can be assembled from a single sheet of paper material and used as a fan. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional single-sheet paper fans come in round or pseudo-fan shapes, but to be practical, the paper needs to be quite thick to be strong enough, and even then they are not suitable for long-term use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5062869 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2009-297067 [Non-patent literature]

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3246198 [Non-patent document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3234626 [Non-patent document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3165575 [Non-patent document 4] Utility Model Registration No. 3170576 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Paper fans come in a variety of types and shapes, but many are difficult to assemble or require special pasting processes, making them expensive. And even though there are situations where they can be used as advertising media, most of them have no advertising effect unless you have them in your hand, so their effectiveness is thought to be limited. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structure that can be held without holding it in the hand, does not require any special pasting process, can be easily assembled, and has a strong grip part made of a single sheet of paper fan.

[0007] When inserting the handle of the structure, rather than folding it completely in half, the handle is made slightly shorter, creating a curved surface, which increases the overall strength and allows thin paper to generate the same wind force as thick paper. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] This structure can be easily folded to provide grip strength, and can be attached to a bag or hook without having to be held in the hand, increasing the effectiveness of advertising. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] Exploded view of the component [Figure 2] The assembled structure DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the developed view of Figure 1, 1 is folded backward and inserted into the insertion part 4. 2 is folded forward and inserted into the insertion part 3 to form a triple-structure assembly with a handle that acts as a fan.

[0011] This is a diagram showing how to create a locked carabiner-like structure by removing the two-fold hook part in the center of Figure 1 and crossing the upper and lower hooks in opposite directions.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a diagram of a structure in which the fan portion and the hook portion are sharpened. [Example]

[0013] It can be assembled with just four folding steps and inserting and crossing. [Industrial Applicability]

[0014] The assembled fan is intended to be used by catching wind from the general breeze, but it can also be used as an advertising medium by attaching a hook to it and carrying it around with you, making it even more appealing.

[0015] This structure is made of 100% paper, making it environmentally friendly. [Explanation of symbols]

[0016] The symbols 1 to 6 in the figure are explained below. 1 row 2 handle part 3 row 4 insert part 5 Carabiner hook parts 6 Hook mounting holes

Claims

1. The fan and hook assembly can be assembled from a single sheet without the use of any other materials or separate parts, and without the need for glue.

2. The handle is strengthened by adjusting the distance between the handle and the insertion part, making the handle curved on both sides.

3. A hook can be cut out from the fan surface, and by attaching it, it can be hung and carried around.
