Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Since the disclosed technique of Patent Document 1 has a pattern applied to a paper-made ornament, when trying to decorate with a different pattern ornament, it is necessary to replace the entire ornament.

[0006] Traditionally, Kagami Mochi decorations consist of a plastic orange ornament attached to the top of the Kagami Mochi container with double-sided tape, and sometimes a fan-shaped ornament is further attached to the orange ornament with tape. In such traditional Kagami Mochi decorations, the fan-shaped ornament is attached to the orange ornament with tape, making it difficult to replace with another ornament. Also, because it is attached to the orange ornament with tape, there is a concern that the fan-shaped ornament may fall off if the adhesive strength of the tape weakens. Furthermore, since traditional orange ornaments are made of plastic and do not decompose naturally, they remain in the environment almost indefinitely if released, resulting in a significant environmental burden.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a pedestal for a kagami mochi decoration and a kagami mochi decoration that can prevent the decorative body from falling off and reduce the environmental burden. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The kagami mochi decoration stand according to the present invention is a paper kagami mochi decoration stand for holding the decorative body of a kagami mochi decoration, and comprises a bottom plate portion, a back plate portion rising from the back side of the bottom plate portion, a front lower plate portion rising from the front side of the bottom plate portion, a middle plate portion extending further back than the front lower plate portion, a front upper plate portion rising from the back side of the middle plate portion, and a protruding portion formed on the front lower plate portion and projecting upward from the middle plate portion, wherein the protruding portion and the front upper plate portion are spaced apart from each other and can hold the decorative body portion between them.

[0009] The Kagami Mochi decoration according to the present invention comprises a decorative body and a paper base for holding the decorative body, wherein the base for the Kagami Mochi decoration has a bottom plate, a back plate rising from the back side of the bottom plate, a front lower plate rising from the front side of the bottom plate, a middle plate extending further back than the front lower plate, a front upper plate rising from the back side of the middle plate, and a projection formed on the front lower plate and projecting upward from the middle plate, and the decorative body is held sandwiched between the projection and the front upper plate, which are spaced apart from each other. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a base for a kagami mochi decoration and a kagami mochi decoration that can suppress the detachment of the decorative body and reduce the environmental burden. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The following describes in detail, with reference to the drawings, the forms for implementing the kagami mochi decoration base and kagami mochi decoration to which the present invention is applied.

[0013] <First Embodiment> As shown in Figure 1, the Kagami Mochi decoration 100 is attached to the top of the Kagami Mochi-shaped container 8 with double-sided tape or the like. The Kagami Mochi-shaped container 8 is a decoration modeled after Kagami Mochi and is a plastic container capable of holding individually packaged mochi inside. The Kagami Mochi decoration 100 comprises a paper fan-shaped decoration body 7 and a paper Kagami Mochi decoration base 1 for holding the decoration body 7. The decoration body 7 may be other shapes besides the fan shape. The Kagami Mochi decoration base 1 has a paper base body 10 and paper small pieces 3 that constitute a protruding part 16. The base body 10 may have illustrations drawn on it as needed. The small pieces 3 may have illustrations drawn on them as needed, for example, an orange.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2, the base body 10 is constructed by folding a single sheet of paper. In Figure 2, dotted lines indicate mountain folds, and dashed lines indicate valley folds. The base body 10 comprises a bottom surface 11 on which a valley fold line 21 is formed, a back plate 12 formed on the opposite side of the bottom surface 11 with the mountain fold line 22 in between, a front lower plate 13 formed on the opposite side of the bottom surface 11 with the mountain fold line 23 in between, a middle plate 14 formed on the opposite side of the front lower plate 13 with the mountain fold line 24 in between, a front upper plate 15 formed on the opposite side of the middle plate 14 with the valley fold line 25 in between, and a joint 17 that connects the front upper plate 15 and the back plate 12.

[0015] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lower surface of the bottom portion 11 is attached to the top of the Kagami-mochi-shaped container 8 with double-sided tape (not shown). A valley fold line 21 is formed on the bottom portion 11. As shown in Figure 6, the base body portion 10 can be folded by folding it along the valley fold line 21.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the back plate portion 12 is formed by folding the back side of the bottom plate portion 11 along a mountain fold line 22. A claw portion 18 as a joint portion 17 is formed at the upper part of the back plate portion 12. As shown in FIG. 5, a pair of claw portions 18 extend obliquely upward (upward on the side) from the back plate portion 12. The tips of the respective claw portions 18 are directed obliquely upward so as to be separated from each other.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), before and after holding the decoration main body portion 7 between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the back plate portion 12 slopes upward on the back side.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the front lower plate portion 13 is formed by folding the front side of the bottom plate portion 11 along a mountain fold line 23. As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), before and after holding the decoration main body portion 7 between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 slopes upward on the back side. Before holding the decoration main body portion 7 between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the inclination angle θ1 of the front lower plate portion 13 with respect to the horizontal is defined, and after holding the decoration main body portion 7 between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the inclination angle θ1' of the front lower plate portion 13 with respect to the horizontal is defined. The inclination angle θ1' is the same as the inclination angle θ1.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the middle plate portion 14 is formed by folding from the upper end of the front lower plate portion 13 along a mountain fold line 24. As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), before and after holding the decoration main body portion 7 between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the middle plate portion 14 extends to the back side more than the front lower plate portion 13. The middle plate portion 14 extends substantially horizontally. Above the middle plate portion 14, the decoration main body portion 7 is arranged.

[0020] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the front upper plate portion 15 is formed by folding the back side of the middle plate portion 14 in a valley fold, with the valley fold line 25 as the boundary. The front upper plate portion 15 has insertion holes 19 which serve as joining portions 17. As shown in Figure 5, the insertion holes 19 are a pair of notches formed in the front upper plate portion 15 into which the claw portions 18 are inserted. The insertion holes 19 are arranged in a V-shape on the front upper plate portion 15. By inserting the claw portions 18 into the insertion holes 19, the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 are joined together.

[0021] The joint portion 17 only needs to have a claw portion 18 formed on either the back panel portion 12 or the front upper panel portion 15, and an insertion hole 19 formed on the other of the back panel portion 12 or the front upper panel portion 15 into which the claw portion 18 is inserted.

[0022] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), before and after the decorative main body 7 is held between the protruding part 16 and the front upper plate part 15, the front upper plate part 15 inclins upward toward the rear side. Before the decorative main body 7 is held between the protruding part 16 and the front upper plate part 15, the inclination angle of the front upper plate part 15 with respect to the horizontal is θ2, and after the decorative main body 7 is held between the protruding part 16 and the front upper plate part 15, the inclination angle of the front upper plate part 15 with respect to the horizontal is θ2'. The inclination angle θ2' is the same as the inclination angle θ2. The inclination angle θ2 is greater than the inclination angle θ1. The inclination angle θ2' is greater than the inclination angle θ1'.

[0023] The protruding portion 16 is composed of small pieces of paper 3. The protruding portion 16 is formed by attaching the small pieces of paper 3 to the front lower plate portion 13 with double-sided tape (not shown). The protruding portion 16 protrudes above the middle plate portion 14.

[0024] The protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15 are spaced apart from each other and hold the decorative main body portion 7 in between. The decorative main body portion 7 is positioned so that its upper end is inclined toward the rear side, along with the front upper plate portion 15 which is inclined toward the rear side.

[0025] In the direction from the front to the back, it is preferable that the width of the decorative body portion 7 is smaller than the distance between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15. This makes it easier to position the decorative body portion 7 along the front upper plate portion 15 when it is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15.

[0026] According to this embodiment, since the kagami mochi decoration base 1 is made of paper, the environmental impact can be reduced.

[0027] According to this embodiment, the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15 are spaced apart from each other, allowing them to hold the decorative body portion 7 in between. This prevents the fan-shaped decorative body portion 7 from falling off the kagami mochi decoration base 1. Furthermore, because the decorative body portion 7 is held in between, it is easy to replace, for example, the fan-shaped decorative body portion 7 with a decorative body portion 7 of a different shape. This increases convenience.

[0028] According to this embodiment, the protruding portion 16 is formed by attaching a small piece of paper to the front lower plate portion 13. This allows the decorative main body portion 7 to be firmly held by the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15.

[0029] According to this embodiment, before the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15 are inclined upwards toward the rear side, and the inclination angle θ2 of the front upper plate portion 15 is greater than the inclination angle θ1 of the front lower plate portion 13. As a result, when the decorative body portion 7 is sandwiched between the protruding portion 16 formed on the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15, the decorative body portion 7 can be firmly held. Therefore, the detachment of the decorative body portion 7 can be further suppressed.

[0030] According to this embodiment, after the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15 rise inclined toward the rear side, and the inclination angle θ2' of the front upper plate portion 15 is greater than the inclination angle θ1' of the front lower plate portion 13. As a result, by providing the decorative body portion 7 in contact with the front upper plate portion 15 which is inclined toward the rear side, the decorative body portion 7 is oriented toward the front and upward. Therefore, the decorative body portion 7 becomes easier for the user to see from the front and upward.

[0031] According to this embodiment, the back panel portion 12 and the front upper panel portion 15 are further joined by a joining portion 17, the joining portion 17 having a claw portion 18 formed on the back panel portion and an insertion hole 19 formed on the front upper panel portion 15 into which the claw portion 18 is inserted. This makes it possible to easily join the base body portion 10, which is formed by folding paper, without using adhesive or the like.

[0032] According to this embodiment, the claw portion 18 extends upward. This makes it easier to insert the claw portion 18 into the insertion hole 19 by inserting it with the claw portion 18 facing upward, thereby further facilitating the joining of the base body portion 10.

[0033] According to this embodiment, the tips of the pair of claw portions 18 are angled upward so as to be spaced apart from each other. This makes it difficult for the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 to shift when the claw portions 18 are inserted into the insertion holes 19. As a result, the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 are firmly joined together.

[0034] In this embodiment, the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 are inclined and rise towards the back. As a result, the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12, which both inclin and rise towards the back, can come into contact at least near their respective upper ends, making it easier to insert the claw portion 18 into the insertion hole 19.

[0035] According to this embodiment, a valley fold line 21 is formed on the bottom surface 11. This allows the base body 10 to be folded. As a result, the kagami mochi display base 1 can be stored compactly.

[0036] <Second Embodiment> Next, the kagami mochi display stand 1 in the second embodiment will be described. Detailed explanations of the configuration, which is the same as in the embodiment described above, will be omitted below. As shown in Figure 7, in the kagami mochi display stand 1 in the second embodiment, the front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 rise up at an inclination toward the front. The front upper plate portion 15 and the back plate portion 12 are provided in contact with each other at a surface.

[0037] The joint 17 is formed by folding the upper end of the front top plate 15 back towards the back side of the back plate 12. The joint 17 can be formed by joining the folded portion of the upper end of the front top plate 15 to the back plate 12 with, for example, adhesive, tape, etc.

[0038] According to this embodiment, a gap is formed between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15 for holding the decorative body portion 7. As a result, the decorative body portion 7 can be held in place by being sandwiched in the gap formed between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fan-shaped decorative body portion 7 from falling off the kagami mochi decoration base 1. In addition, because the decorative body portion 7 is held in place by being sandwiched, it is easy to replace, for example, the fan-shaped decorative body portion 7 with a decorative body portion 7 of a different shape. Therefore, convenience is increased.

[0039] <Third Embodiment> Next, the base 1 for decorating Kagami Mochi in the third embodiment will be described. As shown in Figure 8, in the base 1 for decorating Kagami Mochi in the third embodiment, a valley fold line 21 is formed on the back plate portion 12. In Figure 8, dotted lines indicate mountain folds, and dashed lines indicate valley folds. The base body portion 10 can be folded by folding along the valley fold line 21.

[0040] As shown in Figure 9(a), before the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 rises up at an inclination toward the rear side. The inclination angle of the front lower plate portion 13 with respect to the horizontal is θ1.

[0041] The middle plate portion 14 is formed by folding it in a mountain fold from the upper end of the front lower plate portion 13, with the mountain fold line 24 as the boundary. The middle plate portion 14 extends further back than the front lower plate portion 13. Before the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the middle plate portion 14 is positioned at an upward inclination toward the rear side.

[0042] Before the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front upper plate portion 15 rises up at an inclination toward the rear side. When the inclination angle of the front upper plate portion 15 with respect to the horizontal is θ2, the inclination angle θ2 is greater than the inclination angle θ1.

[0043] As shown in Figure 9(b), when the decorative body 7 is held between the protruding part 16 and the front upper plate part 15, the user pulls the upper end of the protruding part 16 towards the front, positioning the protruding part 16 vertically. This causes the front lower plate part 13 to which the small piece part 3 is attached to be positioned vertically. At this time, the back plate part 12 joined to the front upper plate part 15 is also positioned vertically. The middle plate part 14 is positioned horizontally. The front upper plate part 15 rises inclined toward the back.

[0044] When the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the inclination angle of the front lower plate portion 13 with respect to the horizontal is set to θ1', and the inclination angle of the front upper plate portion 15 with respect to the horizontal is set to θ2'. The inclination angle θ1' is 90°, which is greater than the inclination angle θ2'.

[0045] When the decorative body 7 is held between the protruding part 16 and the front upper plate part 15, the decorative body 7 is positioned vertically. This makes it easier for the user to see the decorative body 7 from the front horizontal direction.

[0046] In the direction from the front to the back, it is preferable that the width of the decorative body portion 7 is approximately the same as the distance between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15. This makes it easier to position the decorative body portion 7 vertically when it is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, a valley fold line 21 is formed on the back panel 12. This allows the base body 10 to be folded. As a result, the kagami mochi display base 1 can be stored compactly. Furthermore, when a valley fold line 21 is formed on the back panel 12, it becomes easier to maintain the horizontal position of the bottom surface 11 compared to when a valley fold line 21 is formed on the bottom surface 11. As a result, it becomes easier to attach the bottom surface 11 to the top of the kagami mochi-shaped container 8.

[0048] According to this embodiment, before the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15 are inclined upwards toward the rear side, and the inclination angle θ2 of the front upper plate portion 15 is greater than the inclination angle θ1 of the front lower plate portion 13. As a result, when the decorative body portion 7 is sandwiched between the protruding portion 16 formed on the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15, the decorative body portion 7 can be firmly held. Therefore, the detachment of the decorative body portion 7 can be further suppressed.

[0049] According to this embodiment, after the decorative body portion 7 is held between the protruding portion 16 and the front upper plate portion 15, the front lower plate portion 13 and the front upper plate portion 15 are arranged vertically. As a result, by providing the decorative body portion 7 in contact with the vertically arranged protruding portion 16, the decorative body portion 7 is oriented vertically. Therefore, the decorative body portion 7 becomes easier for the user to see from the front horizontal direction.

[0050] While embodiments of this invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, this invention can be implemented in various novel forms in addition to the embodiments described above. Therefore, the above embodiments can be omitted, replaced, or modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of this invention.
