[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a first diagram illustrating an advertising device according to a first embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a second diagram showing the advertising device of the first embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a third diagram showing the advertising device of the first embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a fourth diagram showing the advertising device of the first embodiment. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a first diagram showing an advertising device according to a second embodiment. [Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a second diagram showing the advertising device of the second embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] First Embodiment The advertising device 1 of the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Figs. 1A and 1B show the first member 10 and the second member 20 in an unfolded state. Figs. 2A and 2B show the first member 10 in an assembled state and the second member 20 in the middle of assembly. Figs. 3A and 3B show the second member 20 from the middle of assembly to the assembled state. Figs. 4A and 4B show the first member 10 and the second member 20 fixed together to form the advertising device 1.

[0011] The advertising device 1 has a first member 10 and a second member 20. The first member 10 is formed by folding a single paper member. The second member 20 is formed by folding a single paper member. The first member 10 and the second member 20 may be formed from the same paper material, or may be formed from different paper materials.

[0012] The first component 10 has a pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 that are short in the horizontal direction and long in the vertical direction. The pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 are arranged on either side of a bent portion 11X. The first component 10 is assembled by folding the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 at the bent portion 11X and joining them using adhesive or adhesive tape at a joint portion 11Y provided at the end opposite the bent portion 11X. The upper end portions 12 of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 are either closed with adhesive or adhesive tape or have an open portion that is not closed with adhesive or adhesive tape. The lower end portions of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 are provided with an open portion (first fixing portion, first joining portion) 13 that is not closed with adhesive or adhesive tape. The pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 are provided with advertising display portions 14 on which various advertising information is displayed. In the illustrated example, advertising information "ABC" is displayed on one of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11, and advertising information "XYZ" is displayed on the other of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11.

[0013] The second member 20 includes various components that have substantially symmetrical shapes in an unfolded state. The second member 20 has a pair of protruding pieces (second fixing portions, second mating portions) 21 that can be bent at a bending portion 21X as a boundary. A pair of intermediary connecting portions 22 are provided at the ends of the pair of protruding pieces 21 opposite the bending portion 21X. Two engagement holes 22X are formed in each of the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22. A pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 are provided at the ends of the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22 opposite the pair of protruding pieces 21. A pair of guide pieces (insertion groove defining pieces) 24 are provided at the ends of the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 opposite the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22.

[0014] A pair of triangular side surfaces 25 are provided on both sides of the pair of adjacent opposing roof sections 23 where the pair of intermediary connecting sections 22 and the pair of guide pieces 24 are not formed. A first side of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 corresponding to the pair of adjacent opposing roof sections 23 is a bent section with the pair of adjacent opposing roof sections 23, and a second side of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 is provided with a bent piece section 25Y on which an engaging claw section 25X is formed. A third side of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 corresponding to one of the adjacent opposing roof sections 23 is blank (see the lower side of FIG. 1B ), and a third side of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 corresponding to the other adjacent opposing roof section 23 is provided with a joining section 25Z that can be joined using an adhesive or adhesive tape (see the upper side of FIG. 1B ).

[0015] When assembling the second member 20 from the unfolded state shown in FIG. 1B , the pair of protruding pieces (second fixing portion, second mating portion) 21 are folded (mountain fold) at the bending portion 21X so that they overlap, and the boundary portion between the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22 and the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 is also folded (valley fold). As a result, as shown in FIG. 2B , the pair of protruding pieces 21 and the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22 are sandwiched between the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23. At this time, the pair of guide pieces (insertion groove defining pieces) 24 are folded inward (to face the pair of protruding pieces 21) relative to the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23. Furthermore, the third side of the pair of triangular side portions 25 corresponding to one adjacent opposing roof portion 23 is joined to the third side of the pair of triangular side portions 25 corresponding to the other adjacent opposing roof portion 23 by the joining portion 25Z.

[0016] 2B to the state shown in FIG. 3A, while the pair of protruding pieces 21 remains overlapped, the boundary between the pair of protruding pieces 21 and the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22 is gradually folded (mountain folds) to open the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22. Also, as shown in FIG. 3B, the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 are folded inward (bent relative to the pair of adjacent opposing roof parts 23). Also, the bent pieces 25Y provided on the second sides of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 corresponding to the pair of adjacent opposing roof parts 23 are bent, and the engaging claws 25X (four in total) formed on the bent pieces 25Y are engaged with the two engaging holes 22X (four in total) formed in each of the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22.

[0017] In the second member 20 assembled in this manner, the boundary portions (bend portions) between the pair of intermediary connecting portions 22 and the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23, and the second sides (bend portions of the bent piece portions 25Y relative to the side portions 25) of the pair of triangular side portions 25 corresponding to the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 define (define) a "pair of adjacent mounting bottom portions" for mounting the advertising device 1 on the mounting surface. The pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 are inclined so as to approach each other as they move upward from the farthest ends of the pair of adjacent mounting bottom portions. Furthermore, an "insertion groove portion" is provided between the closest points of the upper ends of the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 (between the pair of guide piece portions 24). A pair of protruding pieces (second fixing portions, second mating portions) 21 protrude from the inside to the outside of the pair of adjacent mounting bottom portions and the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 via this insertion groove portion.

[0018] When the advertising device 1 is constructed by fixing the first member 10 and the second member 20 together, the lower ends of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 of the first member 10 are inserted from the outside to the inside of the pair of adjacent placing bottoms and the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 through the insertion grooves of the second member 20, i.e., between the closest portions of the upper ends of the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 (between the pair of guide piece portions 24), as shown in Figures 4A and 4B. Then, the opening portion (first fixing portion, first mating portion) 13 and the protruding piece portion (second fixing portion, second mating portion) are fixed, i.e., the protruding piece portion 21 is inserted into the opening portion 13 (the opening portion 13 is placed over the protruding piece portion 21), thereby fixing the first member 10 and the second member 20 together and constructing the advertising device 1.

[0019] The advertising device 1 configured as above can be assembled simply by combining (assembling) the first member 10 and the second member 20, which are made by folding a single paper member, thereby reducing the number of parts, simplifying the structure, and facilitating assembly. Furthermore, since no metal or plastic materials are used, it also has the advantage of being environmentally friendly.

[0020] Second Embodiment The advertising device 1 of the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figures 5 and 6. The advertising device 1 of the second embodiment uses the same components (parts) as the advertising device 1 of the first embodiment, and only the assembly method is different. In the advertising device 1 of the first embodiment, the first member 10 and the second member 20 are fixed together after they are completed, whereas in the advertising device 1 of the second embodiment, the first member 10 and the second member 20 are fixed together during the assembly of the second member 20 after the first member 10 is completed.

[0021] 2B, the lower ends of the pair of rectangular opposing portions 11 of the first member 10 are inserted from the outside to the inside of the pair of adjacent mounting bottoms and the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 through the insertion grooves of the second member 20, i.e., between the closest portions of the upper ends of the pair of adjacent opposing roof portions 23 (between the pair of guide pieces 24). Then, the openings (first fixing portion, first mating portion) 13 and the protruding pieces (second fixing portion, second mating portion) 21 are fixed, i.e., the protruding pieces 21 are inserted into the openings 13 (the openings 13 are placed over the protruding pieces 21), thereby fixing the first member 10 and the second member 20 together.

[0022] Thereafter, the boundary between the pair of protruding pieces 21 and the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22 is gradually folded (mountain folded) to open the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22. The pair of triangular side surfaces 25 are also folded inward (bent relative to the pair of adjacent opposing roof parts 23). The bent pieces 25Y provided on the second sides of the pair of triangular side surfaces 25 corresponding to the pair of adjacent opposing roof parts 23 are also bent, and the engaging claws 25X (four in total) formed on the bent pieces 25Y are engaged with the two engaging holes 22X (four in total) formed in each of the pair of intermediary connecting parts 22.

[0023] Although the invention according to the present disclosure has been described in detail above, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the invention according to the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The invention according to the present disclosure can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the description of the scope of the utility model registration claims. Therefore, the description of the present disclosure is for illustrative purposes only and does not impose any limiting meaning on the invention according to the present disclosure.
