Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are merely specific examples for carrying out the present invention, and do not limitatively interpret the present invention.
[0013] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a parts set 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The parts set 100 is composed of a resin material such as a synthetic resin material or a natural resin material. More specifically, it is formed of polypropylene. Polypropylene is excellent as a part for working because it has properties such as light weight, high heat resistance, high rigidity, and chemical resistance. Note that resins such as polystyrene and ABS may also be used.
[0014] Each part is connected by a runner 110. By separating the connection part with the runner using nippers or the like, the user can use the necessary number of necessary parts at the necessary time. Therefore, an effect of reducing the risk of part loss is expected. Furthermore, when used as a teaching material at an educational site, since it may be used by multiple people simultaneously, not only is there a possibility of loss, but also the labor involved in distribution and management increases. However, by using the integrated parts set 100, the labor involved in the distribution and management can be reduced. In addition, by arranging the parts regularly for each type, the user can intuitively identify the part type, so the convenience during use can be improved.
[0015] The parts set 100 includes a movable shelf support part 120 and a movable shelf locking part 121. Further, the parts set 100 can also include a spatula for adhesive 123 and a nail driving assist tool 129. Additionally, the parts set 100 can also include a handle part 122, a hook part 124, a foot / knob part 125, a nameplate 126, a handle fixing part 127, and a door hinge part 128. By providing parts that can form a movable shelf with high versatility and usefulness, the creativity of the user can be inspired.
[0016] As shown at 200 in Fig. 2, the movable shelf support part 120 includes a fitting part 210 and a screw hole 220. The fitting part 210 is a location where it fits with the movable shelf locking part 121 when installing a shelf board with the movable shelf support part 120 attached to a structure. The fitting part 210 has a structure with a thicker wall than the surrounding resin for the purpose of preventing the shelf board from falling off and enhancing load-bearing capacity. The screw hole 220 is a hole used when fixing to the shelf board using a screw. By performing taper processing, when fixed with a screw, the screw head does not protrude, resulting in excellent aesthetics, no catching when touched with a finger, and enhanced safety. Note that it can also be fixed to the shelf board with a nail or the like instead of a screw, but fixing with a screw has a higher holding force than a nail.
[0017] As shown at 300 in Fig. 3, the movable shelf locking part 121 has a shape like a combination of cylinders with two different diameters. The locking part 310 is a location where it fits with the movable shelf support part 120 when installing a shelf board with the movable shelf support part 120 attached to a structure. The side plate fitting part 320 is a location to be fitted into a fitting hole on the side plate where the shelf board is installed. With this structure, when installing the movable shelf locking part 300 on the side plate, it can be properly fitted without worrying about how far to insert it into the fitting hole on the side plate.
[0018] Furthermore, by making the size of the fitting portion 210 larger than the size of the locking portion 310, it is possible to absorb manufacturing variations and misalignment during installation of the parts set 100. However, if it is made too large, it will become a factor in reducing stability when installing the shelf board, so about 1 mm to 2 mm is appropriate.
[0019] To stably support the shelf board, it is desirable to attach the movable shelf support parts 120 to the vicinity of the four corners of the shelf board like the movable shelf shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, it is good if the movable shelf support parts 120 are basically provided in multiples of 4. Similarly, the movable shelf locking parts 121 for locking the shelf board to which the movable shelf support parts 120 are attached are also basically provided in multiples of 4. Considering loss, it is good to have a spare number. In this embodiment, the number of the movable shelf locking parts 121, which are small and more likely to be lost, is increased.
[0020] The handle part 122 can be attached to the side plate of the structure using screws or nails or the like with the handle fixing part 127. When carrying the completed structure, it can be carried safely and stably by grasping the attached handle part. Also, it can be used as a partition by attaching it to the upper part of the top plate or the board. Also, by configuring the parts set 100 with the handle part 122 and the handle fixing part 127 as separate parts, the height can be lowered and the portability is improved.
[0021] By using the putty knife 123 for adhesive, the adhesive such as wood glue can be applied to the appropriate place without soiling the hands. Here, when the structure on the side where the adhesive is applied has a straight shape without unevenness, it is difficult to apply an appropriate amount of the adhesive. This is because if force is applied to flatten the application surface of the adhesive, the adhesive will be removed more than necessary, and conversely, if the force is too small, a large amount of the adhesive will be applied. Therefore, by making the structure on the side where the adhesive is applied uneven and deformable, even a user without experience or skill can appropriately apply a necessary and sufficient amount.
[0022] The hook part 124 can be mainly attached to the side plate, and can be used to hang bags, small items, etc. By thickening the structure at the place where the object is hung, the weight-bearing resistance can be enhanced.
[0023] As shown in 500 of FIG. 5, the knob / foot part 125 is provided with screw holes 510 and can be attached to the bottom surface of the structure using screws or the like. By attaching at three or four or more locations, the stability during installation can be enhanced. It is also effective in preventing damage to the structure and the installation location. Furthermore, as shown in the knob part 521 of FIG. 5, the knob / foot part 125 has a gentle taper shape, and as shown in the knob part 522, it has a deeper taper shape. Due to this shape, it is easy to grip with the fingers, and since the corners of the knob part 521 and the knob part 522 are gentle, it has a structure that is less likely to cause pain when picked up with the fingers. Therefore, by attaching the knob / foot part 125 to the plate at the opening / closing location, a door or drawer that can be smoothly opened and closed by the user can be configured.
[0024] The name plate 126 can be attached to the structure using screws, nails, double-sided tape, or the like. By using the name plate, when used as a teaching material, even if there are multiple structures, it can be grasped at a glance as one's own structure. Also, for administrators such as teachers, it is easy to grasp at a glance who created the structure, so management becomes easier. Also, by providing a gap in one piece, it has a structure that allows printed materials to be easily inserted and removed.
[0025] The door hinge part 128 can be used to configure a door that opens and closes with the attached location as the axis.
[0026] The nail - driving auxiliary tool 129 can be used as an auxiliary tool mainly when assembling wood and driving nails for fixing. Also, as shown in 600 of FIG. 6, the nail - driving auxiliary tool 129 has a structure that can be easily unfolded and used after being separated from the parts set 100. When not in use, its portability can be enhanced by returning it to a flat state. The nail - holding part 610 can stably hold the nail by sandwiching it from both sides. Also, since there is no need to directly hold the nail with a finger, the safety is very high. When directly holding the nail with a finger, there is a problem that it is difficult to see the position of nail - driving with one's own finger. Through the visual - recognition window part 630, before driving the nail and even while driving it, the operator can work while visually confirming whether it is in the appropriate position. In addition, in order to prevent the 129 from being sandwiched between the nail and the wooden part during nail - driving, the upper part of 610 has a concave shape to allow the nail head to escape. The knob part 640 is composed of a plurality of convex parts, and by having appropriate friction, it can be stably held with a finger. Furthermore, since the bottom part 620 can contact the nail - driving surface such as wood over a large area, the stability of the operation is enhanced.
[0027] 700 in FIG. 7 is a structure created using a work kit that includes a parts set 100 and a wood set suitable for using the parts set 100. By attaching a name plate 710 to the structure 700, one can immediately recognize who the creator is or who the user of the completed structure is. Also, by attaching a handle part 720, a structure can be provided that stably holds it during transportation. By installing the knob - foot part 730 on the bottom surface of the structure, the stability of installation and the prevention of damage to the installation location can be achieved.
[0028] As described above, by using the work kit according to the present invention, the user can give play to their own creativity and create a unique structure.
