Description

[[Technical Field]]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bookshelf provided with bookends, wherein the position of the bookends on a shelf board can be moved, the bookends can be stored in side plates, and the entire surface of the shelf board can be widely used. [[Background Art]]

[0002] When books and magazines are stored on shelves or in bookshelves, they often fall over, and in order to prevent this, the object can be achieved if the shelf is provided with bookends from the beginning. At the same time, there are also times when it is desired to use the shelf widely without being obstructed by bookends, and in this case, if the bookends have a structure that can be slid and retracted into the side plates, they do not get in the way, so the object can be achieved. Herein, slidable bookends have already been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-65373 (Patent Document 1) and Utility Model Registration No. 3206332 (Patent Document 2). However, both of these Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not disclose a configuration that meets the above object. [[Prior Art Documents]] [[Patent Documents]]

[0004] [[Patent Document 2]] Utility Model Registration No. 3206332 [[Summary of the Invention]] [[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]]

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a bookshelf with bookends, which has a structure allowing the bookends to move, and when the bookends are not needed, they can be moved to a corner, so that the shelf can be widely used. [[Means for Solving the Problem]]

[0006] Claim1 The described bookshelf capable of storing bookstands is characterized in that multiple shelves are provided within the bookshelf frame, and these shelves are designed so that bookstands can slide along them, and multiple bookstands of different sizes are provided on a single shelf, and the structure is such that smaller bookstands can pass through larger bookstands.

[0007] Claim 2 The bookshelf capable of storing bookstands described herein is characterized in that the side frame plates constituting the bookshelf frame are provided with recesses or cutouts for storing bookstands, and the bookstands are stored in the storage compartments. These inventions solve the above-mentioned problems. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] Claim 1 According to the invention described, it is possible to use different sizes of bookstands and to position each of them as desired.

[0009] Claim 2 According to the invention described, when the book stand is not in use, it can be completely stored in the side panel, and therefore can also be used as a shelf. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] This is a side view showing the bookshelf of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is an exploded perspective view showing the bookshelf of the present invention. [Figure 5] This is a perspective view showing the entire shelf in its open position. [Figure 6] This is a perspective view showing the small-sized book stand in use. [Figure 7] This is a perspective view showing both sizes of bookstands in use. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0011] Modes for carrying out the present invention are shown in the following examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Examples

[0012] The bookend-storing bookshelf S of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as bookshelf S) will be described based on the illustrated embodiment. The bookshelf S of the present invention mainly comprises a bookshelf frame 1, a shelf board 2, and a bookend 3. Each of these members will be described below.

[0013] First, the bookshelf frame 1 is, as an example, a vertically elongated frame member when viewed from the front, and comprises a lower frame plate 11, side frame plates 12, an upper frame plate 13, and a rear frame plate 14. Each side frame plate 12 is provided with a recessed storage portion 15 for storing the bookend 3. Note that the storage portion 15 may be not only a recess but also a cut-out hole.

[0014] Next, the shelf board 2 will be described. The shelf board 2 is provided with a rail 21 extending over the entire width on the upper surface at the center in the depth direction. The rail 21 is provided with rail ribs 22, and a portion sandwiched between the rail ribs 22 forms a guide groove 23. The rail ribs 22 include an upper rail rib 22a, an intermediate rail rib 22b, and a lower rail rib 22c. A space between the upper rail rib 22a and the intermediate rail rib 22b forms an upper guide groove 23a, and a space between the intermediate rail rib 22b and the lower rail rib 22c forms a lower guide groove 23b. Note that, as an example, the lower guide groove 23b has a dovetail groove shape.

[0015] Next, the bookend 3 will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, a large-sized bookend 3A and a small-sized bookend 3B are combined as an example. Both of them use a pressing plate 31 as the main component, and a passage hole 32 is provided in the pressing plate 31 of the large-sized bookend 3A. In addition, a finger hole 33 is provided in the small-sized bookend 3B. Both the large-sized bookend 3A and the small-sized bookend 3B are provided with a sliding portion 34 guided by the guide groove 23 of the rail 21. The sliding portion 34A of the large-sized bookend 3A fits into the upper guide groove 23a, and the sliding portion 34B of the small-sized bookend 23B fits into the lower guide groove 23b. The large and small size bookends (3A, 3B) of the present invention are as shown in the figures, but it is also possible to make the bookends even finer and provide more than two types of bookends. In addition, it is also possible to add a single wall capable of storing a bookend in the center of the bookshelf to increase the number of bookends used.

[0016] To use such a bookshelf S, the bookend 3 is moved to an appropriate position according to the type and size of books, magazines and the like to be stored (see Figures 5, 6 and 7). In the present invention, the positions of the two bookends 3A and 3B of large and small sizes can be exchanged, and the bookend 3 can be stored in the storage portion 15 by moving it close to the side frame plate 12.

[0017] Due to the presence of the rail 21, there is an elongated hole extending in the width direction at the center of the shelf board 2. Depending on the situation of using the shelf board 2, this elongated hole may cause inconvenience. Therefore, a separate rail cover 4 may be prepared to cover this hole. In addition, the shape of the bookend 3 is not limited to that shown in the figures, and can be made into various shapes and figures.

[0018] In the present invention, two types of bookends (3A, 3B) of large and small sizes are supported by the upper guide groove (23a) and the lower guide groove (23b) on the rail (21) at the lower center so that they can pass each other. However, the supporting rails can also be separately independent. This can increase the forms of the "passing" method. Description of Symbols
