Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses a technique related to a Shinto amulet stand. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a device that holds a plate-shaped sacred tablet in an upright position. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3093328 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The device in Patent Document 1 had the problem that it could not hold cylindrical talismans, which have a diameter that decreases from top to bottom. One such talisman is the Ichiyo Raifu Omamori charm distributed by Anahachiman Shrine (located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo). [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One embodiment disclosed in this specification is a Shinto amulet stand that holds a cylindrical Shinto amulet whose diameter decreases from top to bottom. This Shinto amulet stand includes a vertically extending back plate and a ring-shaped holder that protrudes forward from the back plate and fits around the central periphery of the Shinto amulet to hold it. With this type of Shinto amulet stand, the user can easily enshrine the cylindrical Shinto amulet by dropping it onto the ring.

[0006] The above-described Shinto amulet stand may further include a mounting plate that protrudes forward from the back panel below the retaining ring and forms a mounting surface on which a compass can be placed. With this type of Shinto amulet stand, the user can temporarily place a compass on the mounting plate to set up the Shinto amulet stand while checking the direction (lucky direction) for enshrining the Shinto amulet. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. [Figure 2] This is a right side view showing the shrine tablet stand. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a top view showing the shrine tablet stand. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the shrine tablet stand 100. Fig. 2 is a right side view showing the shrine tablet stand 100. Fig. 3 is a top view showing the shrine tablet stand 100.

[0009] The kamifuda stand 100 is a device that holds a kamifuda 800. The kamifuda 800 is cylindrical in shape, with the diameter decreasing from the top 802 to the bottom 806. The kamifuda 800 is made by rolling paper into a cylindrical shape. The kamifuda 800 is a kamifuda talisman distributed by Anahachiman Shrine (located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo).

[0010] The shrine tablet stand 100 comprises a back panel 110, a holding ring 120, and a mounting plate 130.

[0011] The back panel 110 of the Shinto tablet stand 100 is a plate extending vertically. The back panel 110 is rectangular. The back panel 110 is made of solid cypress wood. The back panel 110 has a front surface 112 and a back surface 114. The front surface 112 is a flat surface that is parallel to a vertical wall when the back panel 110 is attached to the wall. The back surface 114 is a flat surface that abuts the vertical wall to which the back panel 110 is attached. The back surface 114 is the surface behind the front surface 112. The back surface 114 has a hook hole 116 that engages with a hook (not shown) attached to the wall.

[0012] The retaining ring 120 of the Shinto tablet stand 100 is annular and fits around the central outer periphery 804 of the Shinto tablet 800 to hold the Shinto tablet 800. When the Shinto tablet stand 100 is properly installed, the retaining ring 120 forms an annular shape that extends on a plane parallel to the horizontal. The retaining ring 120 protrudes forward from the surface 112 of the back panel 110. The retaining ring 120 is made of brass.

[0013] The mounting plate 130 of the Shinto talisman stand 100 forms a mounting surface 132 on which a compass (not shown) can be placed. When the Shinto talisman stand 100 is properly installed, the mounting surface 132 is a flat surface parallel to the horizontal. The mounting plate 130 protrudes forward from the surface 112 of the back plate 110 below the retaining ring 120. The mounting plate 130 is made of brass.

[0014] According to the Shinto tablet stand 100 described above, the user can easily enshrine the cylindrical Shinto tablet 800 by dropping it onto the holding ring 120. Furthermore, according to the Shinto tablet stand 100, the user can temporarily place a compass on the mounting plate 130 to check the direction (lucky direction) in which to enshrine the Shinto tablet 800 while setting up the Shinto tablet stand 100.

[0015] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features of the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features of each form described in the Summary of the Invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
