Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is primarily concerned with a novelty item that can be used for multiple purposes and is highly convenient for film sheet materials. [Background technology]

[0002] This is a process in which an item that has been offset printed or inkjet printed on a thin plastic film is die-cut using a Thomson die cutter. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Conventional card stands made of plastic materials require assembly for displaying the cards, and the assembly is so complicated that it is sometimes used without being properly assembled. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The problem is solved by processing a thin film sheet material with a Thomson process, storing within the item an item equivalent to a frame for displaying the trading card, and a structure for easily removing and using the stand, and by making the size of the item such that the trading card can be displayed even while still in the sleeve case. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0005] [Figure 1] Trading card stand expansion diagram. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the trading card stand of FIG. 1 when assembled. [Diagram 3] 3 is a perspective view of the assembled trading card stand of FIG. 2 when used horizontally. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0006] Figure 1 is an exploded view of the trading card stand (1) of the present invention. The trading card stand (1) is comprised of a hook surface (K) with slits (s2) and (s3) for holding trading cards, a stand section (S) with a stand (s1) for allowing the item to stand on its own when assembled, and a protective surface (H) with a surface for protecting the trading cards from scratches and a hook (F) for fixing them, all of which are arranged in succession with ruled lines (a), (b), and (c) created by Thomson processing, all within the dimensions of 80 mm x 350 mm.

[0007] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the trading card stand (1) of this invention when assembled, in which the hook surface (K) with crease (c) on the end of the item is folded back at crease (c), and then the protective surface (H) with crease (b) on the end of the item is folded back at crease (b) and then fixed from above the crease (c) with a hook (F). As a result, the stand section (S) with sides (r1) and (r2) longer than (K) and (H) becomes arc-shaped, and the slits (s1) that have been punched out for the most part by the Thomson machining rise up, allowing the item to stand on its own as a stand.

[0008] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the trading card stand (1) of the present invention when assembled, with the item itself tilted 90 degrees to the side to stand on its own, without using the slit (s1) that functions as a stand by standing up as shown in Figure 2. At this time, the slit (s1) is not functioning as a stand, and the item stands on its own by using either one of the arc-shaped (r1) or (r2) that has been assembled as a stand.

Claims

1. The trading card stand is a vertically long sheet-like item made from a thin film material, characterized in that it has a card protection surface with a hook structure at the end of approximately 1 / 3 of the area of ​​the item, a stand section, and a trading card locking section, which are connected together by creases made by Thomson processing.

2. This trading card stand is a sheet-like article made from a thin film material, and the card protection surface located at the edge of the article is provided with a hook surface for fixing at its tip by creases created by Thomson processing, so that the card protection surface is longer than the trading card locking portion, and the overall length of the stand portion located in the center of the article is approximately 1.2 times longer than the aforementioned card protection surface and trading card locking portion, so that when the card protection surface and trading card locking portion are folded over each other with the creases as fulcrums, the stand portion forms an arch shape.

3. When the card protection surface and the trading card locking portion of claim 2 are folded over with the fold lines as fulcrums to form an arch shape, a V-shaped slit formed by Thomson processing in the center of the stand portion rises up to form a stand that allows the article to stand on its own. A trading card stand characterized by:

4. 2. The trading card stand according to claim 1, wherein the printing on the material is performed by printing pictures, letters, and photographs on the back side of the material using offset printing or inkjet printing.
