Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ornament stand configured by standing a column from which an ornament is suspended on a pedestal.

Background Art

[0002] For an ornament stand configured by standing a column from which an ornament such as a flag body of a name flag is suspended on a pedestal, it is desirable that the column (supporting member) and the pedestal (base) can be separated (Patent Document 1). In the ornament stand disclosed in Patent Document 1, a male screw protrudes from the lower end surface that abuts on the pedestal, and a nut for screwing the male screw of the column is fixed to the upper surface side of the pedestal. By screwing the male screw of the column into the nut from above, the column is stood on the pedestal (Patent Document 1, [Claim 1], Paragraphs

[0015]

[0020] ). If the male screw is removed from the nut, the column and the pedestal can be separated.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The ornament stand disclosed in Patent Document 1 is considered not to separate the column and the pedestal as long as the male screw is screwed into the nut. However, since the ornament stand disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the column is coupled to the pedestal via the nut, if the nut accidentally comes off the pedestal, the column may inadvertently separate from the pedestal, which is dangerous. Therefore, in order to provide an ornament stand in which the column does not inadvertently separate from the pedestal, it was studied.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The result of the study is a decorative stand constructed by placing a support pole on a base from which an ornament is suspended. The support pole has a male screw protruding from its lower end surface that contacts the base, and the base has a vertical through hole at the position where the support pole will be placed, through which the male screw of the support pole passes. A recess for a nut is provided on the lower side, concentric with the through hole, forming a clamping portion with a thickness equal to the base minus the recess. The male screw of the support pole, which protrudes downward after passing through the through hole in the base from above, is screwed into the nut in the recess, thereby clamping the clamping portion of the base between the lower end surface of the support pole and the nut, and the support pole is then placed on the base. This invention can be used, for example, for a name flag where the ornament is the flag itself.

[0006] The male screw protruding from the lower end surface of the support column may be made of a bolt embedded in the lower end surface of the support column. The through hole in the base allows the male screw of the support column to pass through, but it only needs to be smaller than the cross-section of the support column, and the cross-sectional shape is not specified. The size and cross-sectional shape of the recess are not specified, as long as a nut can be accommodated. The male screw of the support column and the nut placed in the recess are screwed into the nut by rotating one or both. Here, if the nut is placed in the recess in a position fixed so that it cannot rotate, the male screw can be screwed into the nut by rotating the support column. The position of the nut can be fixed, for example, by fitting the nut into a recess whose cross-sectional shape matches the outer shape of the nut. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The decorative stand of this invention securely holds the support column to the base by clamping the base's clamping portion between the lower end surface of the support column and a nut. As long as the male screw and nut remain attached, the clamping portion of the base will continue to be held between the lower end surface of the support column and the nut, preventing the support column from accidentally separating from the base and increasing the safety of the decorative stand. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing an example of a decorative stand to which the present invention is applied. [Figure 2] This is an exploded perspective view of the display stand in this example, seen from below. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view of a key part showing the tightening state of the male screw and nut on the decorative stand in this example. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The embodiments for implementing this invention will be described below with reference to the figures. As shown in Figure 1, this invention is applied to a decorative stand 1 for hanging the flag body 2 of a name flag. The decorative stand 1 in this example is constructed by erecting a long rectangular column 11 in the center of a base 12 that is square in plan view. The flag body 2 is constructed, for example, by providing a hanging string 22 on a horizontal bar 21 with tassels 23 hanging from both ends. In the decorative stand 1 in this example, the flag is suspended from the column 11 by hooking the hanging string 22 into a hooking groove 113 provided near the upper end of the column 11.

[0010] As seen in Figures 2 and 3, the support column 11 has a male screw 112 protruding from its lower end surface 111, which abuts against the upper surface 121 of the base 12. The male screw 112 is constructed by embedding the head of a screw or bolt into the lower end of the support column 11, with only the threaded portion protruding from the lower end surface 111. This ensures that the male screw 112, with its screw or bolt head embedded in the lower end of the support column 11, is stably held by the support column 11 and does not deviate from it. The male screw 112 protruding from the lower end surface 111 is longer than the through hole 122 of the base 12, but shorter than the thickness of the base 12 (the sum of the length of the through hole 122 and the depth of the recess 125).

[0011] The base 12 has a vertical through hole 122 through which the male screw 112 of the support column 11 passes, opening in the center of the upper surface 121 on which the support column 11 stands. A recess 125 for the nut 126 is provided on the lower surface 124 side, concentric with the through hole 112, forming a clamping portion 123 that surrounds the through hole 112 within the area of ​​the recess 125. The clamping portion 123 has a thickness equal to the base 12 minus the recess 125, and is a roughly annular (donut-shaped) portion (within the thick dashed frame in Figure 3) that surrounds the through hole 112, and is formed integrally with the base 12. The lower end surface 111 of the support column 11 and the nut 126 are sandwiched between the clamping portion 123 and the base 12 connected to the clamping portion 123.

[0012] In this example, the recess 125 has a hexagonal cross-section that matches the outer shape of the nut 126, and is a hole provided on the lower surface 124 side with the clamping portion 123 as the top surface. The nut 126 is pressed tightly into the recess 125 from the lower surface 124 side and fixed in position by pressing against the clamping portion 123, so that it cannot rotate or dislodge. If a step or projection that engages with the clamping portion 123 is provided on the inner surface of the recess 125, or if the nut 126 is bonded to the inner surface of the recess 125, it can be more stably fixed in position in the recess 125 so that it cannot rotate or dislodge.

[0013] In this example, the display stand 1 separates the support column 11 and the base 12 for storage and transport, and connects the support column 11 and the base 12 for use. For example, with the base 12 placed on the floor in a non-rotatable position, the male screw 112 is passed through the through hole 122 from above and reaches the nut 126 fitted into the recess 125. Then, by rotating the support column 11, the male screw 112 can be screwed into the nut 126. In this way, the male screw 112 is screwed into the nut 126 until the lower end surface 111 of the support column 11 abuts against the upper surface 121 of the base 12 (see Figure 3), and the connection between the support column 11 and the base 12 is completed. The flag body 2 is hung after the support column 11 is erected on the base 12 (see Figure 1).

[0014] The assembly of the support column 11 and the base 12 may be performed by holding the support column 11 and the base 12 in one hand. Also, unlike the decorative stand 1 in this example, if the recess 125 provided in the base 12 is large and the nut 126 can be rotated with a wrench or the like, the support column 11 and the base 12 can be assembled by tightening the nut 126 onto the male thread 112 of the support column 11 that protrudes from the lower surface 124 side of the base 12 through the through hole 122.

[0015] In this example, the display stand 1 not only simply combines the support column 11 and the pedestal 12, but also sandwiches the clamping portion 123 of the pedestal 12 between the lower end surface 111 of the support column 11 and the nut 126, so that the support column 11 can be stably erected on the pedestal 12. And the support column 11 and the pedestal 12 continue to sandwich the clamping portion 123 of the pedestal 12 between the lower end surface 111 of the support column 11 and the nut 126 as long as they do not separate even if the male screw 112 and the nut 126 are loosened, so that the support column 11 will not accidentally separate from the pedestal 12. In this way, the risk of accidental separation of the support column 11 and the pedestal 12 is eliminated, and the safety of the display stand 1 is enhanced.
