In any case, by being described in an independent claim of a utility model registration claim, they become essential structures and methods of the present invention. The effects described in the embodiments are effects obtained when the configuration of the embodiment is an example of the present invention, and are not necessarily effects that the present invention has. When there are multiple embodiments, the configurations disclosed in each embodiment are not limited to each embodiment, but can be combined across the embodiments. For example, a configuration disclosed in one embodiment may be combined with another embodiment. Also, configurations disclosed in multiple embodiments may be collected and combined. The problem described in the problem that the invention aims to solve is not a publicly known problem, but was discovered independently by the inventor, and this, together with the configuration and method of the invention, affirms the inventive step of the invention.

[0009] 1. Example of the configuration of this device An example of the configuration of a toy of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1. In the embodiment described below, the toy of the present invention is an acrylic stand made of acrylic resin. However, the toy of the present invention does not have to be made of acrylic resin, and may be made of, for example, wood, metal, or plastic other than acrylic. The acrylic stand 1 of the present invention includes a main body member 10, a support member 20, and a base member 30.

[0010] FIG. 1(a) shows a main body member 10. The main body member 10 is a plate-shaped member having two surfaces, a front and a back. As shown in FIG. 1(a), a grip portion 11 is attached to one surface of the main body member 10. An image of a character or the like is displayed on the surface opposite to the surface to which the grip portion 11 is attached. In the following embodiments, the surface of the main body member 10 to which the grip portion 11 is attached is referred to as the back surface of the main body member 10, and the surface on which the image is displayed is referred to as the front surface of the main body member 10. The image may be printed on the front surface of the main body member 10, or may be printed on the back surface of a transparent main body member 10 so that the image is displayed on the front surface through the main body member 10. Although the main body member 10 in FIG. 1(a) is rectangular, the main body member 10 may have a shape that matches the image. For example, if a character is printed as an image, the shape should match the character.

[0011] The base 12 of the gripping part 11 has its bottom surface affixed to the back surface of the main body member 10. In this way, the gripping part 11 is attached to the main body member 10. The gripping part 11 is, for example, a clip. The gripping part 11 has a tip A that functions as a point of action, a fulcrum S, and an arm M that extends from the tip A to the fulcrum S, and can hold an object (for example, a support member 20, clothing, a bag, etc., which will be described later) between the tip A and the base 12, or between the arm M and the base 12.

[0012] FIG. 1(b) shows a support member 20. The support member 20 is a plate-shaped member, and like the main body member 10, has two surfaces, a front and a back. As shown in FIG. 1(b), the support member 20 has a through-hole 21 at one end and a protrusion 22 at the other end. Although the support member 20 shown in FIG. 1(b) has an elongated shape, the shape is arbitrary. Furthermore, like the main body member 10, an image may be printed on the support member 20.

[0013] The through-holes 21 are provided to clamp and fix the support member 20 with the gripping portion 11 in a first state, a second state, and a fourth state, which will be described later. Here, fixing the support member 20 means that the position of the support member 20 can be kept relatively constant, and it is not necessarily the case that the support member 20 is prevented from moving at all.

[0014] A square-shaped hole edge portion 23 is provided around the through-hole 21. Of the four-sided square-shaped hole edge portion 23, the upper side in FIG. 1(b) is the hole edge upper portion 24, the upper surface of the hole edge upper portion 24 in the direction of the paper surface is the upper end surface 24a, and the lower surface of the hole edge upper portion 24 in the direction of the paper surface (i.e., the through-hole 21 side) is the lower end surface 24b. In the example shown in FIG. 1(b), the width L of the hole edge portion 23 is b1 is the width L of the support member 20 b0 However, the width L of the hole edge 23 is b1 and the width L of the support member 20 b0 However, the width L of the through hole 21 may be equal to b2 is the width L of the gripping portion 11 shown in FIG. a The length L of the protrusion 22 is set to be wider than the length L of the protrusion 22. b4 is approximately the same as the thickness of the base member 30 described later.

[0015] FIG. 1(c) shows the base member 30. The base member 30 is a plate-shaped member having two surfaces, a front surface and a back surface, similar to the main body member 10 and the support member 20. As shown in FIG. 1(c), the base member 30 has a through hole 31 penetrating through in the thickness direction. The longitudinal width L of the through hole 31 is c1 is the width L of the protruding portion 22 of the support member 20 b3The through hole 31 is formed to have approximately the same dimensions as the width L c2 is formed to have approximately the same dimensions as the thickness of the support member 20. This makes it possible for the protrusion 22 of the support member 20 to fit into the through-hole 31 of the base member 30. Although the base member 30 shown in FIG. 1(c) is formed in a circular shape, the shape of the base member 30 is arbitrary, and it may be, for example, a square, a triangle, a sector, or other shape. In addition, an image may be printed on the base member 30.

[0016] 2. Acrylic stand The acrylic stand 1 of the present invention can take four forms. The four forms of the acrylic stand 1 of the present invention will be described below.

[0017] (1) First state The first state of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 2. In the first state, only the main body member 10 and the support member 20 are used. Figure 2(a) shows the back of the acrylic stand 1 in the first state, Figure 2(b) shows the front of the acrylic stand 1 in the first state, and Figure 2(c) shows the side of the acrylic stand 1 in the first state. In the first state, the gripping portion 11 clamps and fixes the support member 20 so that the surface of the support member 20 is approximately parallel to the surface of the main body member 10.

[0018] Here, "substantially parallel" refers not only to a state in which the surfaces of the main body member 10 and the support member 20 are completely parallel, but also to a state in which they can be considered to be almost parallel even if they are not completely parallel. For example, when the angle between the surface of the main body member 10 and the surface of the support member 20 is within the range of 0°±10°, they can be considered to be parallel.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2(c), in the first state, the tip A of the gripping portion 11 is positioned so as to fit inside the through-hole 21 of the support member 20. In this position, even if the support member 20 is pulled in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2(c), for example, the lower end surface 24b of the hole edge upper portion 24 comes into contact with and interferes with the tip A of the gripping portion 11, so that the support member 20 does not come off the gripping portion 11 and the gripping portion 11 can fix the support member 20. In the first state, as shown in FIG. 2(c), the flat surface of the hole edge upper portion 24 is in contact with the base portion 12 of the gripping portion 11, and as a result, the surface of the hole edge upper portion 24, and therefore the surface of the support member 20 and the surface of the main body member 10, are approximately parallel.

[0020] By placing the acrylic stand 1 in the first state, the user can hold the main body member 10 in their hand via the support member 20. As a result, the user can take a photo in which the character image printed on the main body member 10 is integrated with the background by holding the acrylic stand 1 in one hand with a natural landscape, a structure such as a building, or another acrylic stand as the background, and taking a photo with a camera held in the other hand.

[0021] (2) Second state The second state of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 3. In the second state, as in the first state, only the main body member 10 and the support member 20 are used. Figure 3(a) shows a side view of the acrylic stand 1 in the second state, and Figure 3(b) shows a left view of the acrylic stand 1 in the second state in Figure 3(a). In the second state, the gripping portion 11 clamps and fixes the support member 20 so that the surface of the support member 20 is approximately perpendicular to the surface of the main body member 10.

[0022] Here, "substantially perpendicular" refers not only to a state in which the surface of the main body member 10 and the surface of the support member 20 are completely perpendicular, but also to a state that can be considered to be almost perpendicular even if it is not completely perpendicular. For example, when the angle formed by the surface of the support member 20 with respect to the surface of the main body member 10 is within the range of 90°±10°, it can be considered to be perpendicular.

[0023] In the second state, unlike the first state, the arm portion M of the grip portion 11 is positioned so as to penetrate the through-hole 21 of the support member 20. In this position, even if the support member 20 is pulled in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3(a), for example, the lower end surface 24b of the hole edge upper portion 24 comes into contact with and interferes with the arm portion M of the grip portion 11, so that the support member 20 does not come off the grip portion 11 and the grip portion 11 can fix the support member 20. In the second state, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the upper end surface 24a of the hole edge upper portion 24 comes into contact with the base portion 12 of the grip portion 11, and as a result, the surface of the hole edge upper portion 24, and therefore the surface of the support member 20 and the surface of the main body member 10, are approximately perpendicular.

[0024] By placing the acrylic stand 1 in the second state, the user can place the main body member 10 on a shelf or desk in a state in which the support member 20 is not visible when viewed from the front, as shown in Figure 3(b).

[0025] As another example of use, a user may hold the main body member 10 in his / her hand via the support member 20. In this case, by holding the acrylic stand 1 in one hand so that a natural landscape, a structure such as a building, or another acrylic stand becomes the background, and taking a photograph with a camera held in the other hand, it becomes possible to take a photograph in which the character image printed on the main body member 10 is integrated with the background without the support member 20 being visible.

[0026] (3) Third state The third state of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 4. In the third state, only the main body 10 is used, without the support member 20 and base member 30. Figure 4 shows a view of the acrylic stand 1 in the third state from the front. In the third state, the main body 10 is used as a badge by attaching the grip portion 11 as a fastener to a bag, clothing, or other belongings.

[0027] By putting the acrylic stand 1 in the third state, the user can attach the acrylic stand 1 to an item of belongings and use it as a decorative item such as an accessory.

[0028] (4) The fourth state The fourth state of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. In the fourth state, a main body member 10, a support member 20, and a base member 30 are used. FIG. 5(a) shows the back of the acrylic stand 1 in the fourth state, and FIG. 5(b) shows the front of the acrylic stand 1 in the fourth state. As shown in FIG. 5, in the fourth state, the protrusion 22 of the support member 20 is fitted into the through-hole 31 of the base member 30. At this time, the main body member 10 is fixed to the support member 20 as in the first state. Note that in the fourth state, the main body member 10 may also be fixed to the support member 20 as in the second state.

[0029] By placing the acrylic stand 1 in the fourth state, the user can place the acrylic stand 1 upright on a shelf or desk so that the image printed on the main body member 10 can be viewed.

[0030] 3.Summary As described above, the present invention provides an acrylic stand that can be in four different states, allowing users to change the state of the acrylic stand as needed depending on the desired situation, such as display, carrying, or photography. [Industrial Applicability]
