Stand for freestanding POP displays

Abstract

To provide a free-standing display stand which can be manufactured at low cost, can stand on its own stably, and can beautifully display media. [Solution] This freestanding display stand uses an inexpensive inverted T-shape and employs a unique ingenuity to place male and female connectors on the legs, ensuring stable attachment of the legs and sufficient strength even with a thin material, enabling stable display of media. Furthermore, by using recycled PET resin as the material, the risk of breakage is significantly reduced, and combined with the reduction in material thickness achieved through the above-mentioned ingenuity, the amount of virgin plastic used, i.e., crude oil consumption, contributes to the preservation of the global environment.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a holder for displaying paper information media on a flat surface, such as posters, POPs, etc. on a product display platform, or menus on a restaurant table. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there have been many holders for displaying information media such as posters and POP displays upright on a flat surface such as a product display stand. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent application 2002-383360 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3247763 (U3247763) [Patent Document 3] Jitsuzenhei 02-058780 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] These existing holders are required to be inexpensive and capable of displaying information media such as posters in an optimal state for customers to see them, so many are made in an inverted T shape from plastic, especially acrylic resin, which has excellent transparency. Existing holders are made with a certain thickness to ensure stability and strength, but due to the flexible nature of the plastic material, the bottom end of the holder opens under its own weight when installed, causing the information transmission medium to fall, impairing visibility and aesthetics. Furthermore, although acrylic resin is highly transparent and beautiful, it is fragile and easily breaks when dropped or hit, and when broken, the cut surfaces and fragments can be sharp, potentially putting customers at risk. To solve these problems and maintain a stable upright position, various measures have been taken, such as manufacturing the holder and base separately and connecting them together, or attaching parts to the bottom of the holder to secure the front and back. However, these innovations required the preparation of additional parts and complicated the manufacturing process, resulting in high production costs and product prices, and often not meeting the needs of the stores that used them. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In this device, male and female notches are provided on the front and back of the lower part of the holding part so that the display can be kept stable and upright while retaining the one-piece structure without the need for separate parts. After the medium is clamped, the front and back holding parts are fixed by fitting the notches together, making it possible to keep the display stable and upright.

[0006] In addition, the device's method of fastening the front and back holding parts reduces the effect of the thickness of the plastic material on strength, making it possible to obtain sufficient strength for practical use even when the material is thin.

[0007] Furthermore, this device uses transparent recycled PET resin, which is elastic, strong, and extremely unlikely to break, and the elasticity of this material makes it possible to fit the notch mentioned above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The holder stand of this invention has an integrated inverted T-shaped structure, but thanks to the ingenious design of the material and joints, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs, stably support the holder, and beautifully display the media. Furthermore, the transparent recycled PET resin used in this invention has obtained the Eco Mark, and the thin material uses less plastic, which contributes to SDGs efforts and is highly appealing to environmentally conscious stores and customers. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1]1 is a detailed view of the main body and various parts related to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] In Figure 1, A is the medium holding (exhibition) part of the holder, and by mating the convex mating part of B with the concave mating part of C, A is made to adhere to the front and back and stand stably. The elasticity and resilience of the recycled PET material used in this invention plays an important role in joining the parts B and C, and delicate adjustment of the material thickness and the positions of the parts B and C is essential. To achieve this, two holes are drilled in the bottom and a rod-shaped jig is placed in these holes during the forming and bending process, preventing misalignment at the joint and enabling a complete and easy joint. The user of the holder pulls and spreads sides A and B of (I) to clamp the media, and then at the final stage of returning it to its original position, twists sides A and B in the direction of the arrows shown in the diagram, snapping parts B and C together, so that sides A and B of (I) stick together tightly, allowing the display to stand stably. The above is just one example of a form for realizing the present invention, and the effects of the present invention extend to all of the ways in which the medium holding portion of FIG. 1A can be stably fixed depending on the shape of the main body. [Industrial Applicability]

[0011] This invention was developed primarily to enable large media (posters, etc.) that are difficult to stand on their own to be displayed stably and easily at low cost, but it can be applied to media of any size, and even small media holders (tabletop menus, etc.) can be made of thin material to enable them to stand stably, which will contribute in no small way to reducing plastic usage and promoting environmental protection, and there are many other possible uses in addition to those mentioned above.
