[0001] The present invention relates to a display stand used for displaying exhibits and spatial composition, and particularly to a modular display stand whose height and outer shape can be easily changed by combining members of the same shape.
Background Art
[0007] According to this invention, the height and external shape of the display stand can be freely changed simply by combining multiple plate-shaped pieces of the same shape, enabling flexible layout configurations according to the exhibited content and spatial conditions.
[0008] Furthermore, because all components are identical in shape, manufacturing, transportation, and storage are easy, and the efficiency of assembly and disassembly is greatly improved. In particular, it is superior in that there is no need to manage different parts for each size and shape as in conventional methods, and multiple display stands can be constructed using common components.
[0009] Furthermore, by arranging the plate-like pieces perpendicularly to each other in a grid pattern, a grid-like structure can be formed inside, thereby increasing the overall rigidity and stability. By constructing the tabletop from the same pieces, a unified design between the legs and the tabletop can be achieved, while also ensuring structural unity.
[0010] In addition, because the plate-shaped pieces can be connected and arranged, it can be used as a single display stand or as a connected display stand with multiple units placed side by side, allowing for expandable use depending on the size of the space and the display configuration. Thus, this invention provides a display structure that is excellent in terms of variability, expandability, operability, and design. [Brief explanation of the drawing] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the plate-shaped piece that constitutes the display stand according to the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a perspective view showing an example of a display stand unit assembled by arranging flat pieces perpendicular to each other. [Figure 3] It is an exploded perspective view showing a state where plate-like pieces are crossed to form a lattice frame (a grid structure) inside. [Figure 4] It is a perspective view showing a state where display stand units are stacked in the vertical direction. [Figure 5] It is a perspective view of a connected display stand formed by juxtaposing a plurality of display stand units in the horizontal direction.
Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention
[0011] [[ID=,15]] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the display stand of the present invention is configured by combining a plurality of plate-like pieces having the same shape. The plate-like pieces are rectangular, and a plurality of vertical slots a1 for fitting other plate-like pieces are formed on one side thereof. The slot a1 has a width corresponding to the plate thickness, and can be combined in the orthogonal direction by inserting the end of another plate-like piece.
[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, a display stand unit is formed by combining a plurality of plate-like pieces in the crossing direction. A top plate b1 is arranged on the upper part of the plate-like piece, and the top plate b1 is also constituted by plate-like pieces of the same shape. Thus, since the leg portion b2 and the top plate b1 are integrally formed by pieces of the same shape, the structural unity is high, and the production and storage of members are easy.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, when a plurality of plate-like pieces are fitted in the orthogonal direction, a lattice-like internal frame c1, so-called a grid structure, is formed inside. This structure enhances the rigidity of the display stand unit and ensures the support stability of the top plate b1 placed on the upper part. Further, this grid structure also serves as a positioning function for the top plate b1, and plays a role in making it difficult to cause misalignment during the assembly of the unit.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 4, the display stand units can be stacked vertically. By inserting the end of the upper plate-shaped piece into the slot of the lower plate-shaped piece, they can be continuously stacked in a stepped manner. With this structure, it becomes possible to adjust the height of the display item stepwise or arbitrarily, and a flexible configuration according to the display space can be obtained.
[0016] Also, as shown in Fig. 5, by arranging the display stand units continuously in the horizontal direction, a connected display stand can be formed. Each unit only contacts each other and stands stably on its own, without requiring additional connecting members. Therefore, according to the scale and use of the display space, it is easy to change the layout or expand it.
[0017] The plate-shaped piece of the present invention can be configured using any plate material such as wood, synthetic resin, or metal plate according to the display purpose and installation environment.
[0018] Furthermore, by setting the dimensions of the plate-shaped piece and the positions of the slots to unified standards, compatibility between different display stand units is ensured. Therefore, it is also easy to recombine individual units into different shapes or combine them with other display structures, and it has excellent reusability and expandability.
[0019] As described above, the display stand of the present invention has a simple configuration using a plurality of plate-shaped pieces of the same shape, while also having height variability, expandability, structural stability, and a sense of design unity. Thereby, in exhibitions, commercial spaces, etc., it realizes a modular display system that can be freely reconfigured according to the display item and space configuration.
