Memo stand

Abstract

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a memo stand that can easily hold and display memos of various sizes and thicknesses. [Solution] The memo stand 1 is made by bending a rectangular steel plate at a position closer to one end than the middle. The base part 2 is placed on a horizontal, flat surface on the short side. The stand part 3 protrudes at an angle upward. The placement piece 4 protrudes in a different direction from the base part 2 from a position close to the base part 2 on the stand part 3. The inclined stand part 3 can provide support, so thin memos and other items can be easily hung and displayed over a large area for easy viewing. The placement piece 4 can also support weight, so sticky notes, writing implements, etc. can also be placed on it.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a memo stand that can support notes written on pieces of paper or the like so that they can be easily seen. [Background technology]

[0002] Various types of memo stands have been proposed in the past (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The memo stand disclosed in Patent Document 1 is assembled by folding a single sheet body. The middle sheet portion between a pair of parallel fold lines is curved upward and an arc-shaped slit is formed. The folded sheet portions on both sides of the middle sheet portion are folded inward at the bottom and then folded upward at the middle of the bottom so that the tips protrude at an angle upward from the arc-shaped slit, allowing sheets such as memos to be clamped and hung. The memo stand disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a plate-shaped base portion with a plate-shaped stand portion standing upright, a downward-sloping slit cut into one side of the stand portion, and a memo inserted into the slit for use.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3435391 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-203053 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Document 1, only memos that are large enough to be hung and have rigidity when bent can be held upright. In Patent Document 2, only memos that are large enough and thick enough to be held by inserting the top part into the slit can be held and used.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a memo stand that can easily hold and display memos of various sizes and thicknesses. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The device is made by bending a rectangular plate at a position closer to one end than the middle, a base portion that is placed on a horizontal flat surface on the short side; a stand portion that protrudes obliquely upward from the base portion on the long side; A placement piece that protrudes from a position close to the base of the stand in a direction different from the base. Including, The angle between the base and the stand is between 75 and 45 degrees. This is a memo stand characterized by the above.

[0007] The rectangular plate of the present invention is characterized in that it contains iron.

[0008] The present invention is also characterized in that the tip of the placing piece is bent upward. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The device features an inclined stand that can support a wide range of memos, from large to thin, allowing for easy viewing. The stand itself can also support weight, allowing for sticky notes, writing implements, and other items to be placed on it.

[0010] In addition, according to the present invention, since it contains iron, which is a ferromagnetic material, memos can be easily attached and displayed on the stand using a magnet.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the present invention, items can be securely placed on the placement piece, so mobile devices and the like can also be placed and used. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a memo stand 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a front view and a right side view of the memo stand 1 of FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a perspective photograph showing the memo stand 1 of FIG. 1 being used as a smartphone holder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. In each figure, corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted. Parts not shown in the figure being described may be referred to by reference numerals shown in other figures. [Example]

[0014] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a memo stand 1, one embodiment of the present invention. Memo stand 1 is made by bending a rectangular steel plate closer to one end than the middle, and includes a base portion 2, a stand portion 3, and a placement piece 4. The base portion 2 is placed on a horizontal, flat surface on its short side. The stand portion 3 protrudes upward at an angle from the base portion 2 on its long side. The placement piece 4 protrudes in a different direction from the base portion 2 from a position close to the base portion 2 on the stand portion 3. The inclined stand portion 3 can provide support, making it easy to hang thin memos with a large surface area and display them clearly. The placement piece 4 can also support weight, so sticky notes, writing implements, etc. can also be placed on it.

[0015] Figure 2 shows the front and right side views of the memo stand 1 shown in Figure 1. The base 2 and stand 3 are formed by bending a steel plate approximately 1 mm thick and 120 mm wide at an angle α of 60.5 degrees. The length D of the base 2 is approximately 60 mm. The height H is approximately 192 mm. The placement piece 4 is formed by removing a portion of the stand 3 and protruding forward by a length L of approximately 27 mm. The placement piece 4 has a height A of approximately 20 mm and is provided with a horizontal spacing B of approximately 20 mm. For example, two placement pieces 4 are provided, with a width W of approximately 25 mm and a horizontal spacing B of approximately 20 mm. Three or more placement pieces may be provided. The width w of the placement piece 4 is approximately 25 mm, the distance W1 from the side edge of the stand 3 to the removed portion of the placement piece 4 is 20 mm, and the width W2 of the removed portion is approximately 30 mm. The tip 4a of the placement piece 4 is bent upward by approximately 10 mm to a length S, preventing items such as sticky notes or writing implements, such as pens, from falling off. The length P from the tip 4a of the placement piece 4 to the tip of the base part 2 is approximately 77 mm. Since items can be placed securely on the placement piece 4, it is also possible to place and use a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone. Note that the dimensions listed here are just an example.

[0016] Figure 3 shows the state in which the stand piece 4 of the memo stand 1 in Figure 1 supports a mobile device, such as a smartphone 5, and is used as a smartphone holder. The smartphone 5 is roughly rectangular and thin, and Figure 3(A) shows it in a horizontal position with the long side of the rectangle horizontal, while Figure 3(B) shows it in a vertical position with the long side of the rectangle vertical. In a horizontally placed smartphone, the stand portion 2 above the smartphone can hold notes using a magnet or other device, allowing users to read the notes while using the smartphone 5. In a vertical position, the plug 7 at the end of the charging cable 6 for connecting to a charger can be inserted into the space formed by the height A and spacing B of the stand piece 4 at the bottom of the smartphone 5, preventing the charging cable 6 from being bent suddenly. The plug 7 can also be used to connect a wired earphone cable or other device.

[0017] The memo stand 1 can be formed by stamping and bending a steel plate and then painting it. Alternatively, plastic can be molded and a thin steel plate attached to the stand portion to give it ferromagnetic properties. [Explanation of symbols]
