Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a storage element that can stand upright and display sheet-like materials, and has a novel structure that allows for storage and freestanding display. [Background technology]
[0002] A known type of notebook has a cover, multiple backing sheets bound to the cover and having an adhesive layer on its surface, and a transparent sheet that is removably attached to the backing sheets, and allows a temple seal to be sandwiched between the backing sheets and the transparent sheet (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] In addition, a pocket-equipped goshuin notebook is known that reduces the burden of managing and storing goshuin stamps, gifts, photographs, and other sheet-like items when visiting shrines, temples, etc., and has a transparent or opaque pocket on one side of each double-page spread (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3199278 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3234423 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] These stamp books are intended only for storing and preserving sheet-like members, and the sheet-like members cannot be displayed.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned issues and provide a storage element that can stand and display sheet-like materials in two modes: storage in file mode and free-standing display in display mode. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The storage component of the present invention, which can display sheet-like materials by itself, solves the problem by having a transparent or translucent bag-like pocket for storing the sheet-like materials, a hard front and back cover stacked on top of the pocket, a fixing member that overlaps and connects the front, pocket, and back cover and rotates the front or back cover approximately 360 degrees to expose any of the pockets, a folding edge that folds one side of the front or back cover toward the other and overlaps with part of the other, and a locking portion that allows this folding edge and the other side where the folding edge overlaps to be opened and closed. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] This device is very convenient because it allows the sheet-like material to be used in two modes: storage in file mode and free-standing display in display mode. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0009] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention when fully deployed. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the above when closed. [Figure 4] FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. [Figure 6] FIG. [Figure 7] FIG. 10 is a front view of the same in file mode and hanging mode. [Figure 8] FIG. 2 is a front view of the display mode of the same as above in hanging mode. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The storage component is capable of freestanding display of sheet-like materials and includes a transparent or semi-transparent pocket for storing sheet-like materials, a hard front and back cover stacked on top of each other on the front and back of the pocket, a fixing member that overlaps and connects the front, pocket, and back cover and rotates the front or back cover approximately 360 degrees to expose any of the pockets, a folding edge that folds one side of the front or back cover toward the other and overlaps with a part of the other, and a locking portion that allows the folding edge and the other side where the folding edge overlaps to be opened and closed, thereby enabling storage, preservation, and freestanding display of sheet-like materials. [Example]
[0011] The storage member A of the present invention, which is capable of displaying sheet-like members by itself, has the structure shown in Figs. 1 to 3 as one embodiment, and will be described in detail below.
[0012] It is a transparent or translucent rectangular (A5 size in this embodiment) bag-shaped item, with one of its short sides open to store a sheet-like material (A5 size temple seal in this embodiment) B inside, and one of its long sides has one or more (five in this embodiment) resin pockets 10 with multiple (three on each side in this embodiment) locking holes 11 through which the fixing member described below can be inserted.
[0013] The cover 20 and back cover 30 are made of hard paper and have a design (in this embodiment, a Japanese clothing pattern) with multiple insertion holes 21, 31 located on the front and back of the pocket 10 and positioned in the same positions as the locking holes 11 of the pocket 10.
[0014] It has a circular ring-shaped fixing member 40 made up of multiple connected pieces (three on each side in the embodiment) that are passed through the locking hole 11 and the insertion holes 21, 31 to integrate the entire cover 20, pocket 10, and back cover 30 when they are stacked on top of each other.
[0015] The edge of the front cover 20 or back cover 30 (back cover 30 in this embodiment) opposite to the edge where the insertion hole 31 is provided has a folded edge 32 that is folded toward the edge where the insertion hole 31 is provided and overlaps with part of the surface of the back cover 30 or front cover 20 (front cover 20 in this embodiment).
[0016] A magnet 51 is built into at least one of the front cover 20 or back cover 30 (in this embodiment, front cover 20) where the folding edges 32 overlap, and another magnet or magnetic material (in this embodiment, magnet 52) is built into the other (in this embodiment, back cover 30), making the front cover 20 and back cover 30 openable and closable, and the cover has a locking portion 50 consisting of these magnets 51 and 52.
[0017] With this configuration, after storing sheet-like material B in pocket 10, the fixing member 40 is used to align the entire material so that it does not become irregular, and then the front cover 20 and back cover 30 are fixed by the locking member 50, and storage member A enters file mode, allowing sheet-like material B to be stored (see Figure 2).
[0018] Furthermore, the front cover 20 or back cover 30 can be rotated approximately 360 degrees around the fixing member 40 to switch the front and back sides, exposing any pocket 10 that you wish to display, and when fixed with the locking portion 50, the front cover 20 and back cover 30 can be used as supports to stand on their own like a desk calendar, so that the storage member A can be put into display mode and the sheet-like member B that you wish to display can be displayed facing forward (see Figure 3).
[0019] Furthermore, by passing a string 60 through the fixing member 40 and fixing the string 60 to a wall or other surface, the storage member A can be used in the hanging mode in the file mode (see FIG. 7), and the storage member A can also be used in the hanging mode in the display mode (see FIG. 8).
[0020] The overall size can be set as desired, the front cover 20 and back cover 30 can be designed as desired, the number of pockets 10, fixing members 40, locking holes 11, and insertion holes 21 and 31 is not limited to the above embodiment, and the sheet-like member B can be used for stamp sheets, posters, newspaper clippings, flyers, etc. other than temple seals.
[0021] Furthermore, the locking portion 50 may be configured not only by the two magnets 51 and 52 arranged in opposing positions as shown in the above embodiment, but also by a combination of a magnet and an object that is attracted to magnetism, such as an iron plate, or by a hook-and-loop fastener that does not use magnetic force.
[0022] In addition, the curved edge 32 on the back cover 30 may be configured to overlap a portion of the surface of the front cover 20, or may be configured to be connected to the back surface of the front cover 20, and the curved edge 32 may be provided on the front cover 20 instead of the back cover 30.
[0023] Furthermore, by separately providing another locking portion in addition to the locking portion 50 when the entire structure is made into a file, so that the curved side 32 becomes the base of an isosceles triangle, the stability when the file stands on its own can be improved.
