Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a stand supporter for a club case.

Background Art

[0002] The club case described in Patent Document 1 includes a case main body, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The case main body is a bottomed cylindrical portion. A golf club is placed in the case main body. The first leg portion and the second leg portion are rod-shaped portions. The first leg portion and the second leg portion are oriented such that the tip is located below the base end, and the base end is attached to the outer surface of the case main body. The first leg portion and the second leg portion are configured to be displaceable between a proximity position and a deployed position. The deployed position is a position where the tip of each leg portion is farther from the case main body than in the proximity position.

[0003] When the first leg portion and the second leg portion are in the proximity position, the club case can be made to stand on the placement surface in a posture where the central axis of the case main body is substantially perpendicular to the placement surface. In this case, the case main body contacts the placement surface.

[0004] When the first leg portion and the second leg portion are in the deployed position, the club case can be made to stand on the placement surface in a posture where the central axis of the case main body is inclined with respect to the placement surface. In this case, in addition to the case main body, the first leg portion and the second leg portion also contact the placement surface. According to Patent Document 1, this contributes to an improvement in the stability of the club case on the placement surface.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, as a result of the inventors' intensive studies, it has been found that the club case described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems. That is, depending on the inclination of the placement surface, the presence or absence or degree of unevenness, when the case main body, the first leg portion, and the second leg portion are brought into contact with the placement surface, the loads applied to the first leg portion and the second leg portion may not be equal. If the difference between the loads applied to the first leg portion and the second leg portion is large, it may be difficult to maintain the self-standing posture of the club case on the placement surface.

[0007] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a technique for making it easier for a club case to maintain a self-standing posture on a placement surface in a state where a first leg portion and a second leg portion are in a deployed position.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] One aspect of the present disclosure is a stand supporter for a club case. The club case has a case main body, a first leg portion, and a second leg portion. The case main body is a bottomed cylindrical shape. A golf club can be placed in the case main body. The first leg portion and the second leg portion are rod-shaped and continuous from the base end to the tip end. The base ends of the first leg portion and the second leg portion are connected to the outer surface of the case main body such that the tips are located on the bottom side of the case main body relative to the base ends, and are configured to be displaceable between a proximity position and a deployed position. The deployed position is a position where the tip is farther from the case main body compared to the proximity position. The stand supporter includes at least a sheet-shaped supporter main body portion. The supporter main body portion has a first side portion, a second side portion, and an intermediate portion. The first side portion includes one edge of the supporter main body portion in the left-right direction along the surface of the supporter main body portion, and is configured to be attachable to the first leg portion. The second side portion includes the other edge of the supporter main body portion in the left-right direction, and is configured to be attachable to the second leg portion. The intermediate portion is sandwiched between the first side portion and the second side portion.

[0009] According to such a configuration, by attaching the stand supporter to the club case, it is possible to make it easier for the club case to maintain a self-standing posture on the placement surface in a state where the first leg portion and the second leg portion are in the deployed position.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] [1. First Embodiment] [1-1. Configuration] [1-1-1. Club Case] The club case 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is configured to be self-standing on the placement surface S. The club case 1 includes a case main body 11, a first leg portion 12, and a second leg portion 13.

[0013] The case main body 11 is a bottomed cylindrical portion. The central axis X1 of the case main body 11 is linear. The case main body 11 has a peripheral wall portion 111 and a bottom wall portion 112. The peripheral wall portion 111 is a cylindrical portion. The peripheral wall portion 111 is continuous so as to surround the central axis X1 of the case main body 11. The bottom wall portion 112 is a plate-like portion. The bottom wall portion 112 closes one axial opening of the peripheral wall portion 111. The bottom wall portion 112 constitutes the bottom surface of the case main body 11.

[0014] The golf club C is inserted into the case main body 11 from the opening on the side of the peripheral wall portion 111 opposite to the bottom wall portion 112 side. The golf club C is usually inserted into the case main body 11 with the grip facing the bottom wall portion 112 side. Depending on the length of the golf club C, the head often protrudes outside the case main body 11 without being accommodated in the case main body 11.

[0015] The first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are rod-like portions that are continuous from the base ends 121, 131 to the tips 122, 132. The first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are symmetrically configured with respect to each other across a virtual plane that includes the central axis X1 of the peripheral wall portion 111 in any state in the proximity position and the deployment position described later. The central axes X2, X3 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are linear.

[0016] The first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are connected to the outer surface of the case main body portion 11 such that the distal ends 122, 132 are located closer to the bottom wall portion 112 than the proximal ends 121, 131. Specifically, the proximal ends 121, 131 are connected to the outer surface of the end portion of the peripheral wall portion 111 opposite to the bottom wall portion 112 side. The first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the case main body portion 11. For this reason, the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are displaceable between the proximity position shown in FIG. 2 and the deployed position shown in FIG. 1. The proximity position is a position where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are along the case main body portion 11. The deployed position is a position where the distal ends 122, 132 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are separated from the case main body portion 11 as compared with the proximity position.

[0017] The first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are configured to be displaceable in conjunction with each other. That is, when the first leg portion 12 is in the proximity position, the second leg portion 13 is also in the proximity position. When the first leg portion 12 is in the deployed position, the second leg portion 13 is also in the deployed position. In a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the proximity position, the central axes X2, X3 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 may be parallel to each other, for example. Also, for example, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the proximity position, the central axes X2, X3 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 may be parallel to the central axis X1 of the case main body portion 11. In a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, the distance between the distal ends 122, 132 of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 is wider than the distance between the proximal ends 121, 131.

[0018] [1-1-2. Stand supporter] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stand supporter 2 is configured to be attachable to the club case 1. That is, the stand supporter 2 is for the club case 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the stand supporter 2 has a supporter main body portion 21 and a housing portion 22.

[0019] The supporter main body 21 is a sheet-like part. The supporter main body 21 has, for example, flexibility. As shown in FIG. 5A, the outer shape of the supporter main body 21 viewed from the thickness direction in a state where the supporter main body 21 is generally expanded flat corresponds to a shape that is virtual plane connecting the first leg part 12 and the second leg part 13 in a state where the first leg part 12 and the second leg part 13 are in the deployed position. In the present embodiment, as described above, in a state where the first leg part 12 and the second leg part 13 are in the deployed position, the distance between the tips 122 and 132 is wider than the distance between the bases 121 and 131. For this reason, the above outer shape of the supporter main body 21 is generally trapezoidal (more specifically, generally isosceles trapezoidal).

[0020] Hereinafter, the vertical direction and the horizontal direction along the surface of the supporter main body 21 will be simply referred to as the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the supporter main body 21. The vertical direction of the supporter main body 21 is perpendicular to the horizontal direction of the supporter main body 21. In the present embodiment, the vertical direction of the supporter main body 21 is the height direction of the trapezoidal shape of the supporter main body 21. In the present embodiment, the horizontal direction of the supporter main body 21 is the direction along the bottom side of the trapezoidal shape of the supporter main body 21.

[0021] The supporter main body 21 has a first side part 211, a second side part 212, and an intermediate part 213.

[0022] The first side part 211 is a part including one edge in the horizontal direction of the supporter main body 21. The second side part 212 is a part including the other edge in the horizontal direction of the supporter main body 21 (that is, the side opposite to the first side part 211 side). In the present embodiment, the first side part 211 and the second side part 212 respectively constitute two legs of the trapezoidal shape of the supporter main body 21.

[0023] The first side part 211 and the second side part 212 each have an engagement region 211a, 212a, an engaged region 211b, 212b, and a connection region 211c, 212c. The engagement regions 211a, 212a, the engaged regions 211b, 212b, and the connection regions 211c, 212c are all strip-shaped.

[0024] The engaging regions 211a and 212a extend along the corresponding edges of the supporter main body 21. Here, the corresponding edges of the supporter main body 21 refer to the edge formed by the first side portion 211 in the case of the engaging region 211a included in the first side portion 211, and the edge formed by the second side portion 212 in the case of the engaging region 212a included in the second side portion 212. The engaging regions 211a and 212a are provided with engaging portions 214, which will be described later.

[0025] The engaged regions 211b and 212b are regions located closer to the intermediate portion 213 side than the corresponding engaging regions 211a and 212a. The engaged regions 211b and 212b extend substantially parallel to the corresponding engaging regions 211a and 212a. Here, the corresponding engaging regions 211a and 212a refer to the engaging region 211a included in the first side portion 211 in the case of the engaged region 211b included in the first side portion 211, and the engaging region 212a included in the second side portion 212 in the case of the engaged region 212b included in the second side portion 212. The engaged regions 211b and 212b are provided with engaged portions 215, which will be described later.

[0026] The connection regions 211c and 212c are regions connecting the engaging regions 211a and 212a and the engaged regions 211b and 212b. The connection regions 211c and 212c extend, for example, over the entire area between the engaging regions 211a and 212a and the engaged regions 211b and 212b.

[0027] The engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are configured to be engageable with each other. The engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 in the present embodiment are a combination of the hook surface and the loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener. In each of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212, the engaged portion 215 is provided on the same surface as the engaging portion 214. In the supporter main body 21, the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 of the first side portion 211 may be provided on the same surface as, for example, the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 of the second side portion 212, or may be provided on different surfaces.

[0028] In each of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212, the number, shape, and size of the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, one engaging portion 214 and one engaged portion 215 are provided in each of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 (that is, a total of two are provided in the supporter main body portion 21).

[0029] Also, in the present embodiment, the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are strip-shaped. The engaging portion 214 is continuous from one end to the other end of the engaging regions 211a and 212a in the vertical direction of the supporter main body portion 21. The engaged portion 215 is continuous from one end to the other end of the engaged regions 211b and 212b in the vertical direction of the supporter main body portion 21. In each of the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the supporter main body portion 21, the dimension of the engaged portion 215 is equal to the dimension of the engaging portion 214.

[0030] The intermediate portion 213 is a portion sandwiched between the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212. Specifically, the intermediate portion 213 is a region sandwiched between the engaged regions 211b and 212b of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212. The intermediate portion 213 extends, for example, over the entire area between the engaged regions 211b and 212b of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the accommodating portion 22 is a sheet-like portion smaller than the intermediate portion 213. The accommodating portion 22 has, for example, flexibility. The accommodating portion 22 is configured to be, for example, light-transmissive. The accommodating portion 22 is configured to be, for example, energizable. The accommodating portion 22 is disposed so as to face the intermediate portion 213. The accommodating portion 22 may face the intermediate portion 213, for example, from the side opposite to the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 side.

[0032] The accommodating portion 22 is partially fixed to the intermediate portion 213. Specifically, the central region 22a of the accommodating portion 22 is not fixed to the intermediate portion 213. The central region 22a is a region including the geometric center viewed from the thickness direction of the accommodating portion 22.

[0033] Of the first to third peripheral regions 22b to 22d of the accommodating portion 22, at least the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c are fixed to the intermediate portion 213. The first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c are regions that sandwich the central region 22a from the left - right direction of the supporter main body portion 21. That is, the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c are regions that are adjacent to each other with a space therebetween in the left - right direction of the supporter main body portion 21. The first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c may include the edges of the accommodating portion 22 in the left - right direction of the supporter main body portion 21. The third peripheral region 22d is a region adjacent to the central region 22a from the lower side in the up - down direction of the supporter main body portion 21. The third peripheral region 22d may, for example, connect the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, the accommodating portion 22 is configured to be able to accommodate at least a part of the object M between it and the intermediate portion 213. More specifically, the central region 22a shown in FIG. 3 is configured to be able to accommodate at least a part of the object M between it and the intermediate portion 213. That is, the interval between the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c is designed to be an interval into which the object M can be inserted between the intermediate portion 213 and the central region 22a from the upper side in the up - down direction of the supporter main body portion 21. When the third peripheral region 22d is not fixed to the intermediate portion 213, the interval between the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c is further designed to be an interval such that the object M inserted between the intermediate portion 213 and the central region 22a does not fall from between the third peripheral region 22d and the intermediate portion 213.

[0035] Incidentally, the object M is, for example, an item handled by the user of the club case 1 during golf play or practice. Specific examples of the object M include tablet terminals such as smartphones, photographing devices such as cameras, and small golf items such as golf markers and golf tees.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, the stand supporter 2 is configured to be attachable to the club case 1. Specifically, the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 are configured to be attachable to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the first side portion 211 is bent such that the connection region 211c sandwiches the first leg portion 12, and the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are engaged with each other, whereby the first side portion 211 is attached to the first leg portion 12. The second side portion 212 is bent such that the connection region 212c sandwiches the second leg portion 13, and the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are engaged with each other, whereby the second side portion 212 is attached to the second leg portion 13. The stand supporter 2 may be attached to the club case 1, for example, with the accommodating portion 22 located on the side opposite to the case main body portion 11 side.

[0037] [1-2. Action] The club case 1 includes a case main body portion 11, a first leg portion 12, and a second leg portion 13. The club case 1 is configured to be self-standing on the placement surface S. As shown in FIG. 2, when the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the proximity position, the club case 1 can be self-standing on the placement surface S with the central axis X1 of the case main body portion 11 being substantially perpendicular to the placement surface S. As shown in FIG. 1, when the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, the club case 1 can be self-standing on the placement surface S with the central axis X1 of the case main body portion 11 being inclined with respect to the placement surface S. In this case, the bottom wall portion 112 of the case main body portion 11, the first leg portion 12, and the second leg portion 13 are in contact with the placement surface S. For example, when the placement surface S is a horizontally extending plane, the club case 1 is likely to stably continue the self-standing posture on the placement surface S.

[0038] However, the placement surface S is not necessarily a plane extending horizontally, and may be a surface with inclinations or irregularities, or a surface with a large degree of inclination or irregularities. When the placement surface S is such a surface, in a state where the bottom wall portion 112, the first leg portion 12, and the second leg portion 13 are in contact with the placement surface S, the loads applied to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 may not be equal to each other. According to the inventors, when the difference between the loads applied to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 is large, there is a possibility that it becomes difficult to maintain the self-standing posture of the club case 1 on the placement surface S. This is because when the difference between the loads applied to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 is large, it becomes difficult to maintain the relative positions of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. As a factor, it is conceivable that only one of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 is displaced with respect to the case main body portion 11, or at least one of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 is deformed (for example, bent) due to the large difference between the loads applied to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13.

[0039] Therefore, the inventors have devised the stand supporter 2. The stand supporter 2 includes a first side portion 211, a second side portion 212, and an intermediate portion 213. By attaching the first side portion 211 to the first leg portion 12 and attaching the second side portion 212 to the second leg portion 13, the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are connected via the intermediate portion 213. For this reason, the intermediate portion 213 makes it easier to maintain the relative positions of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. Therefore, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, it becomes easier to maintain the self-standing posture of the club case 1 on the placement surface S.

[0040] [1-3. Effects] According to the first embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained.

[0041] (1a) In the stand supporter 2, the supporter main body 21 has a first side portion 211, a second side portion 212, and an intermediate portion 213. According to such a configuration, by attaching the first side portion 211 to the first leg portion 12 and attaching the second side portion 212 to the second leg portion 13, it is possible to easily maintain the relative positions of the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 by the intermediate portion 213. Therefore, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, it is possible to easily maintain the self-standing posture of the club case 1 on the placement surface S.

[0042] (1b) Each of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 has an engagement region 211a, 212a, an engaged region 211b, 212b, and a connection region 211c, 212c. According to such a configuration, the connection regions 211c, 212c are bent so as to sandwich the first leg portion 12 or the second leg portion 13, and by engaging the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 with each other, the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 can be attached to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. By releasing the engagement between the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215, the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 can be removed from the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. That is, the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 can be attached and detached relatively easily. For this reason, for example, it is possible to easily share one stand supporter 2 with different club cases 1.

[0043] (1c) In at least one (both in this embodiment) of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212, the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portion 215 are a combination of the hook surface and the loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener. According to such a configuration, the effect of the above (1b) can be obtained more easily.

[0044] (1d) In addition, according to the above configuration, it is possible to easily adjust the position where the engaging portion 214 is engaged with the engaged portion 215. Therefore, according to the distance between the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 and the placement surface S, it is possible to easily adjust the attachment method of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 to the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 (that is, the attachment method of the stand supporter 2 to the club case 1). As a result, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, it is possible to more easily maintain the self-standing posture of the club case 1 on the placement surface S.

[0045] (1e) In the stand supporter 2, the accommodating portion 22 is arranged to face the intermediate portion 213. The accommodating portion 22 is configured to be able to accommodate at least a part of the object M between it and the intermediate portion 213. According to such a configuration, in a state where the stand supporter 2 is attached to the club case 1, the user can accommodate the object M in the accommodating portion 22. Therefore, the convenience of the user during golf play or practice can be enhanced.

[0046] (1f) For example, the accommodating portion 22 is a sheet-like portion that can transmit light. At least the first peripheral region 22b and the second peripheral region 22c of the first to third peripheral regions 22b to 22d of the accommodating portion 22 are fixed to the intermediate portion 213.

[0047] According to such a configuration, the user can visually recognize the object M accommodated in the accommodating portion 22 from the outside of the accommodating portion 22. For this reason, for example, when the object M is a tablet terminal, the user can visually recognize the video or image displayed on the tablet terminal from the outside of the accommodating portion 22. The user can, for example, practice golf while watching the video or image displayed on the tablet terminal.

[0048] For example, when the object M is sized such that it can be completely accommodated in the accommodating portion 22, by making the object M accommodated in the accommodating portion 22 visible from outside the accommodating portion 22 for the user, it is possible to easily prevent the user from forgetting to put the object M into the accommodating portion 22 or forgetting to take out the object M from the accommodating portion 22.

[0049] (1g) For example, the accommodating portion 22 is configured to be energizable. According to such a configuration, for example, when the object M is a device capable of receiving an input from the user by contact energization such as a tablet terminal, the user can perform an input operation on the object M while the object M is accommodated in the accommodating portion 22.

[0050] [2. Second Embodiment] [2-1. Configuration] The stand supporter 2A of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5B has the same basic configuration as the stand supporter 2 of the first embodiment. However, in the second embodiment, an engaged portion 216 is provided on the supporter main body portion 21A instead of the engaged portion 215 described above. The engaged portion 216 is different from the engaged portion 215 described above in that the lateral dimension of the supporter main body portion 21A is larger than that of the engaging portion 214.

[0051] [2-2. Effect] According to the second embodiment described in detail above, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained, and further the following effects can be obtained.

[0052] (2a) In at least one (both in the example shown in FIG. 5B) of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212, the engaged portion 216 has a lateral dimension of the supporter main body portion 21A that is larger than that of the engaging portion 214.

[0053] According to such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 7B, it is possible to easily adjust whether the stand supporter 2A is attached to the club case 1 widely or narrowly. That the stand supporter 2A is widely attached to the club case 1 means that the engaging portion 214 is engaged with a portion far from the intermediate portion 213 in the engaged portion 216. That the stand supporter 2A is narrowly attached to the club case 1 means that the engaging portion 214 is engaged with a portion close to the intermediate portion 213 in the engaged portion 216.

[0054] In this way, it is possible to further easily adjust the attachment method of the stand supporter 2A to the club case 1. For this reason, it is possible to further easily adjust the distance between the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13. Further, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position and the club case 1 stands on the placement surface S, the angle of the central axis X1 of the club case 1 with respect to the placement surface S can be further easily adjusted. Therefore, in a state where the first leg portion 12 and the second leg portion 13 are in the deployed position, it is possible to more easily maintain the standing posture of the club case 1 on the placement surface S.

[0055] [3. Third Embodiment] [3-1. Configuration] The stand supporter 2B of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5C has the same basic configuration as the stand supporter 2 of the first embodiment. However, the stand supporter 2B of the third embodiment is different from the stand supporter 2 of the first embodiment in that two engaged portions 215 are provided on at least one (both in the example shown in FIG. 5C) of the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 of the supporter main body portion 21B.

The engaged portions 215, 216 are continuous from one end to the other end of the engaged regions 211b, 212b in the vertical direction of the supporter main body portions 21, 21A, 21B.

[0059] However, as described above, the number, shape, and size of the engaging portion and the engaged portions are not particularly limited. For example, on at least one of the first side portion and the second side portion, a plurality of engaging portions may be provided at intervals in the vertical direction of the supporter main body portion. In this case, on the first side portion or the second side portion provided with the plurality of engaging portions, for example, a plurality of engaged portions engageable with the plurality of engaging portions may be provided, or one engaged portion integrally engageable with the plurality of engaging portions may be provided.

[0060] (4b) In the above embodiment, the engaging portion 214 and the engaged portions 215, 216 are a combination of the hook surface and the loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener. However, the engaging portion and the engaged portions can take various forms engageable with each other. For example, the engaging portion and the engaged portions may be a combination of a concave portion and a convex portion engageable with each other. Also, for example, the engaging portion and the engaged portions may be a combination of a hole and a fastener such as a hook engageable with the hole.

[0061] (4c) In the drawings used in the description of the above embodiment, the simple stand supporters 2, 2A, and 2B are shown from the perspective of designability. However, for the stand supporter, for example, contrivances may be made to enhance the designability. Specifically, characters, illustrations, etc. may be printed or embroidered on at least one of the supporter main body portion and the housing portion, or a pattern formed by an opening may be formed. Also, for example, the outer peripheral edge of the supporter main body portion may be linear as shown in the drawings, or may be curved such as an arc shape or a wavy line shape. The same applies to the outer peripheral edge of the housing portion.

[0062] (4d) The stand supporters 2, 2A, and 2B of the above embodiment include one housing portion 22. However, the number of housing portions provided in the stand supporter is not particularly limited, and for example, it may be singular or plural. Also, for example, the stand supporter does not necessarily have to include a housing portion.

[0063] (4e) The functions of one component in the above embodiment may be dispersed as a plurality of components, or the functions of a plurality of components may be integrated into one component. Also, a part of the configuration of the above embodiment may be omitted. Also, at least a part of the configuration of the above embodiment may be added, replaced, etc. with respect to the configuration of other above embodiments.
