[Figure 3] Figure 3(a) is a rear view of the handle device in the closed state, and Figure 3(b) is a side view of the handle device in the closed state. [Figure 4] Figure 4(a) is a rear view of the handle device in the open position, and Figure 4(b) is a bottom view of the handle device in the open position. [Figure 5] This is a diagram illustrating a modified handle device. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Figure 1 shows a panel device 10 of the embodiment. Figure 1(a) is a front view of the panel device 10, Figure 1(b) is a top view of the panel device 10, and Figure 1(c) is a bottom view of the panel device 10. Also, Figure 2(a) is a rear view of the panel device 10, and Figure 2(b) is a side view of the panel device 10. The panel device 10 of the embodiment has a symmetrical shape.

[0010] The panel device 10 functions as a self-standing display and also as a protective shield that can be held by the user to protect the body from attacks. The front surface of the panel device 10 is the side that is vulnerable to attack, and the back surface is the side that the user holds.

[0011] The panel device 10 consists of a handle device 11 and a panel 12. As shown in Figure 1(b), the panel 12 is composed of two layers: a front panel 12a and a back panel 12b. The front panel 12a and the back panel 12b are joined together by fasteners such as screws or pins at the four corners. The front panel 12a is transparent. The front panel 12a and the back panel 12b become a display when printed materials or the like are placed between them.

[0012] The handle device 11 comprises a first fixing part 14a and a second fixing part 14b, a gripping part 16, and an alarm device 20. The handle device 11 is attached to the panel 12. Note that the alarm device 20 is not shown in Figure 1, but is shown only in Figure 2(b).

[0013] The first fixing part 14a and the second fixing part 14b (referred to as "fixing part 14" if they are not distinguished) are fixed to the back panel 12b of the panel 12, separated vertically. The pair of fixing parts 14 are fixed to the panel 12 by inserting flat screws from the front side of the back panel 12b and fastening them with nuts from the fixing part 14 side.

[0014] The second fixing portion 14b has a hook portion 18 formed on its outer surface. The hook portion 18 is formed to connect the alarm device 20, as shown in Figure 2(b). The hook portion 18 extends downward from the second fixing portion 14b and is formed in the shape of a hole. The hook portion 18 is formed so as not to protrude below the lower end of the panel 12 and is located above the lower end of the panel 12.

[0015] The gripping portion 16 is formed from the first fixing portion 14a to the second fixing portion 14b and is gripped by the user. The gripping portion 16 is positioned away from the panel 12 so that the user's fingers can be inserted. As shown in Figure 2(b), the gripping portion 16 has a seating portion 22 formed on its bottom surface. The seating portion 22 is formed at a position away from the panel 12.

[0016] When the seating portion 22 and the lower end of the panel 12 are placed on a flat mounting surface, the panel device 10 becomes self-supporting. When the panel device 10 is self-supporting, the panel 12 is at an angle to the vertical. The hook portion 18 may be formed so as not to come into contact with the mounting surface when the panel device 10 is self-supporting on a flat mounting surface.

[0017] The alarm 20 is provided on the second fixing part 14b via the engaging part 18. The alarm 20 has a coupler 20a and a pin 20b. The coupler 20a may be a ring having a string, a hook or a gate, and is hooked on the engaging part 18. The pin 20b is provided so as to be insertable and removable. When the pin 20b is pulled out from the hole of the main body, the alarm 20 generates an alarm sound, and when the pin 20b is inserted into the hole, the alarm sound stops. Since the alarm 20 is provided on the handle device 11, when the handle device 11 is attached to the panel 12, the alarm 20 is attached to the panel 12. Therefore, the alarm 20 can be easily attached to the panel 12. By providing the alarm 20 on the second fixing part 14b, it becomes easier for the user to operate the alarm 20 when lifting the gripping part 16 than when it is provided on the first fixing part 14a.

[0018] FIG. 3(a) is a rear view of the handle device 11 in the closed state, and FIG. 3(b) is a side view of the handle device 11 in the closed state. FIG. 4(a) is a rear view of the handle device 11 in the open state, and FIG. 4(b) is a bottom view of the handle device 11 in the open state.

[0019] The first fixing part 14a is formed in an L shape in side view. The first fixing part 14a has a bearing part 32 forming one side of the L shape in side view and a screwing part 34 forming the other side. A shaft hole is formed in the bearing part 32. The screwing part 34 abuts on the panel 12 and is fixed by a screw. The second fixing part 14b has the same shape as the first fixing part 14a except for the engaging part 18, and has a bearing part 32 and a screwing part 34.

[0020] The gripping part 16 has a first half body 16a and a second half body 16b divided into halves. The first half body 16a and the second half body 16b are rotatably connected to the first fixing part 14a and the second fixing part 14b respectively, and take an open state and a closed state by rotating.

[0021] The first half body 16a has a first shaft portion 24a, a second shaft portion 24b, a first convex portion 28a, a first concave portion 30a, and a mating surface 36a. The first shaft portion 24a is pivotally supported by the bearing portion of the first fixing portion 14a, and the second shaft portion 24b is pivotally supported by the bearing portion 32 of the second fixing portion 14b. The first convex portion 28a and the first concave portion 30a are formed on the mating surface 36a.

[0022] The second half body 16b has a first shaft portion 24a, a second shaft portion 24b, a second convex portion 28b, a second concave portion 30b, and a mating surface 36b. The first shaft portion 24a is pivotally supported by the bearing portion of the first fixing portion 14a, and the second shaft portion 24b is pivotally supported by the bearing portion 32 of the second fixing portion 14b. The second convex portion 28b and the second concave portion 30b are formed on the mating surface 36b.

[0023] In the state where the gripping portion 16 is closed, the first convex portion 28a is inserted into and engaged with the second concave portion 30b, and the second convex portion 28b is inserted into and engaged with the first concave portion 30a, so that the mating surface 36a and the mating surface 36b are joined. The first convex portion 28a is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion 30b, and the second convex portion 28b is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the first concave portion 30a. Thereby, the state where the gripping portion 16 is closed can be maintained.

[0024] In the state where the gripping portion 16 is closed, the seating portion 22 sits on the placement surface in the posture where the panel 12 is erected, so that the panel device 10 serves as a display and is in a posture where the gripping portion 16 is easy to grip when used as a protective shield. When the gripping portion 16 is open, the conveyance and storage of the panel device 10 are facilitated, and it is also possible to attach it to a wall.

[0025] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the handle device 111 of a modification. The handle device 111 shown in FIG. 5 shows an open state and is different from the handle device 11 shown in FIG. 4(a) in that the alarm 120 is built in the gripping portion 116.

[0026] The first half-body 116a and the second half-body 116b constitute the gripping portion 116. The second half-body 116b houses an alarm device 120. The second half-body 116b has a mating surface 36b, a bottom portion 38, and a housing portion 40. The mating surface 36b aligns with the mating surface 36a when the gripping portion 116 is closed. The bottom portion 38 is formed in a columnar shape and has a seating portion 22 on its bottom surface.

[0027] The housing section 40 is formed at the bottom 38 of the second half-body 116b and forms a space for housing the alarm 120. As a result, the alarm 120 is housed within it, making it easy to place as a display. By positioning the alarm 120 at the bottom 38, it becomes difficult for the user to grip the alarm 120 in a way that covers it, thus preventing the alarm sound of the alarm 120 from being muffled by the user's hand.

[0028] The cover portion 42 covers the power supply unit of the alarm device 120 on the mating surface 36b of the second half-body 116b. The power supply unit of the alarm device 120 is, for example, a battery and is located on the underside of the cover portion 42. The cover portion 42 is provided so as to be openable and closable. When the cover portion 42 is open, the power supply unit of the alarm device 120 can be replaced. In addition, because the cover portion 42 is formed on the mating surface 36b, the grip portion 116 is not exposed when it is closed.

[0029] The alarm device 120 has a removable pin 44. When the pin 44 is pulled out, the alarm device 120 emits an alarm sound. The bottom portion 38 is formed longitudinally along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the panel 12. The pin 44 protrudes longitudinally from the bottom portion 38 and is formed to be removable along the longitudinal direction of the bottom portion 38. In other words, the pin 44 protrudes from the bottom portion 38 of the second half-body 116b in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the panel 12. This allows the pin 44 to be positioned so as not to interfere with the seating or gripping of the gripping portion.

[0030] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications such as design changes can be made to each embodiment based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and embodiments with such modifications may also be included within the scope of the present invention.

[0031] The panel 12 shown in the embodiment may be foldable. In this case, the handle device 11 does not need to have a seating portion 22.

[0032] Although the alarm devices 20 and 120 are shown to generate an alarm sound by inserting and removing a pin, they are not limited to this configuration and may also generate an alarm sound using a switch or a button. [Explanation of symbols]
