Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0016] The XYZ axes in the specification and the drawings correspond to the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system. In the present embodiment, the XZ plane is a horizontal plane, the Y-axis is parallel to the vertical axis, the arrow direction of the X-axis is to the left, the arrow direction of the Y-axis is upward, and the arrow direction of the Z-axis is backward. Also, in the present embodiment, the front view is a view seen in the arrow direction of the Z-axis with the plane including the X-axis and Y-axis as the front, and the right side view is a view seen in the arrow direction of the X-axis with the plane including the Y-axis and Z-axis as the front.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention seen from the front obliquely upward and the back obliquely upward. FIG. 2 is a figure for explaining the structure of the intermediate member 30 of the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an exploded configuration diagram of the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a figure for explaining the structure of the acrylic plate 10 and the connecting plate 50 constituting the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] In FIGS. 4(A) and 4(B), the acrylic plate 10 and the connecting plate 50 are transparent, but are drawn as opaque members to avoid the lines from intersecting, and further the pattern 70 is omitted. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower surface 16 of the acrylic plate 10 is parallel to the XZ plane, and the longitudinal direction of the acrylic plate 10 is parallel to the Y-axis. In the present embodiment, the dimensions of each part are described for easy understanding, but the resin stand according to the present invention is not restricted by the said dimensions.

[0019] The resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention is a resin stand that allows users to enjoy a three-dimensional design by arranging multiple images of characters, pictures, etc., in the front-to-back direction (Z-axis direction). It comprises two acrylic plates 10 (10A, 10B) arranged in the front-to-back direction, an intermediate member 30 placed between the front and rear acrylic plates 10A, 10B, and connecting plates 50 (50A, 50B, 50C, 50D) that connect the acrylic plates 10. The two acrylic plates 10 and the intermediate member 30 are connected in the front-to-back direction via the connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, 50D with gaps between them, forming a self-supporting block-shaped resin stand.

[0020] The resin stand 1 has a rectangular prism shape. The dimensions of the resin stand 1 are not particularly limited, but as an example, the length (Y-axis direction) is 90 mm, the width (X-axis direction) is 67.5 mm, and the depth (Z-axis direction) is 21 mm. In this embodiment, the resin stand 1 has a vertically elongated rectangular prism shape, but the resin stand 1 may also have a horizontally elongated rectangular prism shape, a cuboid shape, or even other three-dimensional shapes.

[0021] The two acrylic plates 10 (10A, 10B) are made of colorless, transparent rectangular acrylic plates of the same shape and dimensions. The acrylic plates 10A and 10B used in the resin stand 1 of the above dimensions have a length (Y-axis direction) of 90 mm, a width (X-axis direction) of 67.5 mm, and a thickness (Z-axis direction) of 3 mm. In the resin stand 1, the acrylic plates 10A and 10B determine the front and back shapes of the resin stand 1, so the acrylic plates 10A and 10B used are those that conform to the three-dimensional shape of the resin stand 1. The acrylic plates 10 have rounded edges on all four corners, and recesses 20 (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) are provided on the top surface 15, left side surface 18, right side surface 17, and bottom surface 16, respectively.

[0022] The acrylic panel 10A positioned at the front has a design 70, consisting of text and a photograph, displayed on its back surface (back) 14. The acrylic panel 10B positioned at the back has a printed material 72 attached to its back surface (back) 14, which displays the design. The printed material 72 has the design printed on its front side and an opaque finish on its back surface (see Figure 1(B)). However, the printed material 72 may also have a transparent back surface instead of an opaque finish.

[0023] The recesses 20 serve as mounting seats for the connecting plate 50, and the basic structure of each recess 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d is the same. The length L0 of the recess 20 is approximately the same as the length L of the connecting portion 52 of the connecting plate 50, and the depth H0 of the recess 20 is approximately the same as the thickness T2 of the connecting portion 52 of the connecting plate 50. As a result, the connecting plate 50 fits into the recess 20 without rattling, and the acrylic plates 10A and 10B can be firmly connected.

[0024] The intermediate member 30 is smaller than the acrylic plates 10A and 10B and is made of an acrylic plate having a front shape corresponding to the design 70 to be displayed thereon. In this embodiment, the intermediate member 30 has a width of approximately 35 mm, a height of approximately 75 mm, and a thickness of 3 mm, but its size and shape are not particularly limited.

[0025] The design 70 of the intermediate member 30 is printed on the back (back) side of the intermediate member 30, but since the intermediate member 30 is positioned between the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, it will not be touched by hand. Therefore, the design 70 may also be printed on the front (front) side of the intermediate member 30.

[0026] The intermediate member 30 is provided with claws 32 at its bottom for fixing it to the connecting plate 50D. The intermediate member 30 is erected and fixed by fitting the claws 32 into claw-fitting holes 60 provided in the connecting plate 50D. The fixing position of the intermediate member 30 is not limited to the connecting plate 50D located on the bottom surface; instead of the connecting plate 50D located on the bottom surface, the connecting plates 50A, 50B, and 50C located on the top or side surfaces may be provided with claw-fitting holes 60 and the intermediate member 30 may be fixed there.

[0027] In the resin stand 1 of this embodiment, there is one intermediate member 30, but there may be two or more intermediate members. If there are two or more intermediate members, two or more claw-fitting holes 60 may be provided in the connecting plate 50D and fixed there, or two or more claw-fitting holes 60 may be provided in the connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C arranged on the top or side surface and fixed there. Alternatively, two or more connecting plates 50 may be provided with claw-fitting holes 60 and fixed there.

[0028] The method of fixing the intermediate member 30 to the connecting plate 50 is not limited to a method using a claw 32 and a claw-fitting hole 60 into which the claw 32 fits. The method of fixing the intermediate member 30 is any method of locking the intermediate member 30 to the connecting plate 50, and there may be one or more connecting plates 50 to which it is locked.

[0029] In this embodiment, the resin stand 1 uses colorless, transparent acrylic plates 10A and 10B, but colored transparent acrylic plates 10A and 10B may also be used. In the case of colored transparent acrylic plates 10, care must be taken because if the color is too dark, the design 70 in the back will be difficult to see.

[0030] A transparent resin plate, such as a polycarbonate plate, may be used instead of the acrylic plate 10. Since this resin stand 1 is designed to be enjoyed by viewing the patterns 70 and intermediate members 30 arranged in the depth direction (front-to-back direction) from the front, a resin plate with excellent transparency, such as an acrylic plate, is preferred. The same applies to the intermediate members 30.

[0031] The resin stand 1 of this embodiment includes two acrylic plates 10A and 10B, but the number of acrylic plates 10 may be three or more, and it is sufficient to have at least two acrylic plates 10A and 10B positioned on the front and back sides. Similarly, the resin stand 1 of this embodiment has one intermediate member 30, but it may also have two or more.

[0032] The thickness of the acrylic plates 10 that make up the resin stand 1 should ideally be the same, but acrylic plates 10 of different thicknesses may be used. From the standpoint of ease of manufacturing and cost, it is preferable to use transparent resin plates, especially transparent acrylic plates 10, of the same material and thickness. From the standpoint of ease of manufacturing and cost, it is also preferable to use intermediate members 30 made of the same material and thickness as the acrylic plates 10. The same applies when two or more intermediate members 30 are provided.

[0033] The connecting plates 50 (50A, 50B, 50C, 50D) are components used to connect two acrylic plates 10A and 10B at a predetermined interval, and generally have a rectangular flat plate shape. The basic structure of each connecting plate 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D is the same, and in this embodiment, connecting plates 50A and 50D, and connecting plates 50B and 50C have the same shape and dimensions.

[0034] Each connecting plate 50 has a connecting portion 52 having a length L that is approximately the same as the length L0 of the recess 20 provided in the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, and spacer portions 54 provided at both ends of the connecting portion 52. The width W of the spacer portion 54 is the width of the connecting portion 52 minus the thickness 2T0 of the two acrylic plates 10A and 10B, and the boundary between the connecting portion 52 and the spacer portion 54 is stepped.

[0035] When the connecting plate 50 is attached to the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, the connecting portion 52 fits snugly into the recess 20 provided in the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, connecting the front and rear acrylic plates 10A and 10B. The space formed between the acrylic plate 10A and acrylic plate 10B to which the connecting plate 50 is attached is equal to the width W of the spacer portion 54. Since the boundary between the connecting portion 52 and the spacer portion 54 of the connecting plate 50 is stepped, the connecting plate 50, once fitted into the recess 20, does not wobble. As a result, the acrylic plates 10A and 10B are firmly connected to the connecting plate 50, and the acrylic plates 10A and 10B are positioned correctly.

[0036] In the resin stand 1 of this embodiment, the material of the connecting plate 50 is a transparent acrylic plate. Since the connecting plate 50 is a component for connecting the front and rear acrylic plates 10, the material may be something other than acrylic, and it may be opaque, but if the material is the same as that of the acrylic plates 10, and furthermore, if the thickness of the acrylic plates 10 and the thickness of the connecting plate 50 are the same, the material cost will be reduced.

[0037] In the resin stand 1 of this embodiment, each connecting plate 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D is set to fit into the recesses 20a, 20b, 20c, and 20d, respectively. The length L of the connecting portion 52 is not particularly limited, and should be the same as the length L0 of the recess 20. However, if a design 70 is printed or displayed on the connecting portion 52, as in the case of connecting plates 50B and 50C, increasing the length L will provide sufficient display space. The thickness T2 of the connecting portion 52 is also not particularly limited, but if it is made to match the depth H0 of the recess 20 as in this embodiment, the height of the connecting plate 50 will be the same as that of the acrylic plate 10 when it is fitted into the recess 20, resulting in a good appearance and superior design.

[0038] The connecting plate 50D positioned on the bottom surface is provided with claw-fitting holes 60 into which the claws 32 of the intermediate member 30 fit. The size of the claw-fitting holes 60 is the same as the size of the claws 32, and when the claws 32 of the intermediate member 30 are fitted into the claw-fitting holes 60, the intermediate member 30 stands upright without wobbling.

[0039] When arranging three or more acrylic plates 10 in the front-to-back direction, it is preferable to provide the connecting plate 50 with claws that function as spacers for positioning the acrylic plates 10 placed between the front acrylic plate 10A and the rear acrylic plate 10B. An example of a connecting plate equipped with such claws is the connecting plate 51 shown in Figure 8(B), which will be described later.

[0040] In the case of a resin stand that creates a three-dimensional effect by arranging multiple character or other designs in the depth direction (Z-axis direction) and enjoying the resulting design, the positioning of the designs is important. In a resin stand like this embodiment, where designs 70 are displayed on acrylic plates 10A, 10B and an intermediate member 30 and arranged accordingly, the positioning of these designs is crucial.

[0041] In this embodiment, the resin stand 1 employs a connecting mechanism in which a connecting plate 50 is fitted into a recess 20 provided in the acrylic plate 10. Therefore, the recess 20 and the connecting plate 50 function as positioning means, allowing for precise positioning of the design 70. Furthermore, the intermediate member 30 is fixed by fitting a claw 32 into a claw fitting hole 60 provided in the connecting plate 50D, thus allowing for precise positioning.

[0042] In this embodiment, the resin stand 1 has connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D that are detachably fitted into the recesses 20 of the acrylic plate 10. The use of such detachable connecting plates is preferable because it allows for the rearrangement of the acrylic plate 10's arrangement, or the replacement of the acrylic plate 10 with spare plates, enabling the enjoyment of various design configurations.

[0043] When using detachable connecting plates, it is preferable that the connecting plates can firmly connect the acrylic plates 10 without rattling, and can be removed by hand without the use of special tools. The connecting plate 50 in this embodiment has a simple structure and can be easily attached and removed by hand.

[0044] The design 70 is displayed on the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, the intermediate member 30, and the connecting plates 50B and 50C. While there are no particular limitations on how the design 70 is displayed on these materials, printing is the most common method. Alternatively, the design 70 may be displayed by attaching a sticker.

[0045] The design 70 is not particularly limited and may be a picture, photograph, diagram, letter, number, line, or a combination thereof. The content of the design is also not particularly limited and may include people, landscapes, characters, letters, and various other things. Furthermore, the designs 70 drawn on the acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate member 30, and connecting plates 50B, 50C may be the same design, partially the same, or completely different.

[0046] The design 70 drawn on the acrylic plate 10B located on the back has an opaque background image 73 in addition to the image. By providing an opaque background image 73 on the acrylic plate 10B located on the back in this way, the surrounding scenery behind the resin stand 1 does not appear when the resin stand 1 is viewed from the front, which is preferable.

[0047] In the resin stand 1 of this embodiment, the design 70 is displayed on the back surfaces 14 of the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, the back surface of the intermediate member 30, and the back surface of the connecting plate 50. However, the design 70 may also be displayed on the front surface 13 of each acrylic plate 10, the front surface of the intermediate member 30, and the front surface of the connecting plate 50. Alternatively, the design 70 may be displayed on both the front surface 13 and back surface 14 of each acrylic plate 10, both the front surface and back surface of the intermediate member 30, and both the front surface and back surface of the connecting plate 50.

[0048] If the designs 70 to be displayed or printed on each acrylic plate 10 and connecting plate 50 are displayed on the inner surface when assembled as a resin stand 1, it is possible to prevent hands or objects from directly contacting the designs 70, thereby preventing soiling and damage to the designs 70.

[0049] The resin stand 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, is a block-shaped resin stand in which two acrylic plates 10 displaying a design 70 are connected in the front-to-back direction (depth direction) via a connecting plate 50. Therefore, it can stand on its own without a base. As a result, it does not fall apart when carried and can be easily transported. Also, since it does not require a base, it does not take up much space.

[0050] Furthermore, the resin stand 1 allows the intermediate member 30 to have a different shape from the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, and the design 70 can be displayed on it. The design 70 can also be displayed on the connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D located on the top, left, and right sides, allowing for the display of many more designs compared to conventional acrylic stands, thus increasing the enjoyment. It also boasts superior design.

[0051] Furthermore, since the resin stand 1 has a connecting plate 50 equipped with a spacer portion 54 for determining the distance between the front and rear acrylic plates 10, a separate spacer is not required to determine the distance between the front and rear acrylic plates 10. In addition, the recess 20 provided in the acrylic plate 10 and the connecting plate 50 that fits into it function as a positioning means for the acrylic plate 10 and the design 70 displayed on the acrylic plate 10, so there is no need to provide a separate positioning means. As a result, the external shape of the resin stand 1 is very neat and has excellent design.

[0052] Furthermore, because the resin stand 1 can be freely assembled and disassembled, the arrangement of the acrylic plates 10 can be rearranged, or it can be used by replacing it with another acrylic plate 10 and intermediate member 30 displaying the design 70. In this way, the resin stand 1 allows for a variety of ways to enjoy it, as the acrylic plates 10 and intermediate member 30 displaying the design 70, as well as the connecting plate 50, can be replaced.

[0053] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the front diagonally above and from the rear diagonally above; Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the intermediate member 35 of the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 is an exploded view of the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the intermediate member 35 and the structure of the connecting plate 51 of the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] In Figure 8(B), the connecting plate 51 is transparent, but is depicted as an opaque component to avoid intersecting lines. In Figures 5 and 6, the lower surface 16 of the acrylic plate 10 is parallel to the XZ plane, and the longitudinal direction of the acrylic plate 10 is parallel to the Y axis. In the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment, components identical to those in the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0055] The basic structure of the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention, and is a self-standing block-shaped resin stand that allows you to enjoy a three-dimensional design by arranging multiple images such as characters and pictures in the front-to-back direction (Z-axis direction).

[0056] The resin stand 2 has two acrylic plates 10 arranged in the front-to-back direction, an intermediate member 35 placed between the front and rear acrylic plates 10, and connecting plates 50 and 51 that connect the acrylic plates 10. The two acrylic plates 10 and the intermediate member 35 are connected in the front-to-back direction via the connecting plates 50 and 51 with a gap between them, and it is self-supporting. It is similar to the resin stand 1 in that its external appearance is a rectangular prism shape. In addition, the external appearance of the resin stand 2 may be a horizontally elongated rectangular prism shape, a square prism shape, or even other three-dimensional shapes, similar to the resin stand 1.

[0057] Furthermore, the size of the resin stand 2, the shape and structure of the two acrylic plates 10A and 10B positioned front and back, the patterns displayed on them, and the fact that three or more acrylic plates 10 may be arranged in the front-to-back direction are also common to resin stand 1. On the other hand, the intermediate member 35 and connecting plate 51 of resin stand 2 have a different structure from the intermediate member 30 and connecting plate 50 of resin stand 1. The following explanation will focus on the intermediate member 35 and connecting plate 51, which have a different configuration from resin stand 1.

[0058] The intermediate member 35 of the resin stand 2 in the second embodiment is generally composed of three intermediate members 35A, 35B, and 35C. Each intermediate member 35 is made of an acrylic plate of the same thickness as the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, has a shape corresponding to the Figure 70 etc. displayed thereon, and is smaller than the acrylic plates 10A and 10B.

[0059] The intermediate member 35A is composed of a support member 35a1, a suspension member 35a2, and a decorative member 35a3, and is positioned behind the front acrylic plate 10A.

[0060] The support member 35a1 has a hanger-shaped portion 36, the length of which is the same as the width of the acrylic plates 10A and 10B. The hanger-shaped portion 36 has a recess 37 in the center into which the suspension member 35a2 is locked, and locking portions 38 at both ends that lock onto the upper ends of the spacer portions 54 of the connecting plates 50B and 50C. The locking portions 38 are stepped, and when the locking portions 38 are locked onto the upper ends of the spacer portions 54 of the connecting plates 50B and 50C, the upper surface is at the same height as the acrylic plates 10A and 10B when viewed from the front.

[0061] The suspension member 35a2 is a C-shaped member that is locked into the recess 37 of the support member 35a1 and hangs down. With the suspension member 35a2 locked into the recess 37 of the support member 35a1, the decorative member 35a3 can be suspended from below.

[0062] The design member 35a3 displays a character design 70 and is cut out along the character design 70. It has a ring 39 at the top that locks onto the suspension member 35a2. By locking this ring 39 onto the suspension member 35a2, it can swing freely while hanging.

[0063] The intermediate member 35B is positioned between the intermediate member 35A and the acrylic plate 10B. The intermediate member 35B has a hanger-shaped portion 36 with the same shape and structure as the support member 35a1, and a pattern display portion 40 is connected to the lower part of the hanger-shaped portion 36. The length of the hanger-shaped portion 36 is the same as the width of the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, and the hanger-shaped portion 36 and the pattern display portion 40 are integrally formed. The procedure for installing the intermediate member 35B is the same as for the support member 35a1.

[0064] The intermediate member 35C is positioned directly below the intermediate member 35B. The intermediate member 35C has a hanger-shaped section 41 which is the inverted version of the intermediate member 35B, and a pattern display section 42 is connected to the upper part of the hanger-shaped section 41. This hanger-shaped section 41 has the inverted shape of the hanger-shaped section 36, but its structure is the same as that of the support member 35a1, and it is connected to the lower part of the connecting plates 50B and 50C.

[0065] The connecting plates of resin stand 2, like those of resin stand 1, have connecting plates positioned at the top, both sides, and bottom of resin stand 2. The connecting plates 50B and 50C positioned at both sides of resin stand 2 have the same shape, structure, and function as the connecting plates 50B and 50C positioned at both sides of resin stand 1, but the connecting plates 51A and 51D positioned at the top and bottom of resin stand 2 have a different structure from the connecting plate 50 and the spacer portion 55.

[0066] Since connecting plate 51A and connecting plate 51D have the same structure and shape, the structure will be explained below using connecting plate 51A.

[0067] The connecting plate 51A, like the connecting plate 50, is provided with a connecting portion 52 and spacer portions 55 at both ends of the connecting portion 52. The spacer portions 55 of the connecting plate 51A have three claws 57 spaced apart in the width direction (short side direction) to create a gap between the acrylic plates 10A, 10B and the intermediate members 35A, 35B, which are arranged in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, there are three claws 57 to create a gap between the two acrylic plates 10A, 10B and the intermediate members 35A, 35B. The number of claws 57 is the sum of the number of acrylic plates 10 and intermediate members 35, minus one.

[0068] The width W1 of the space 58 provided between the claws 57 is approximately the same as the thickness T1 of the intermediate members 35A and 35B, and when the connecting plate 51A is attached, the intermediate members 35A and 35B fit between the claws 57. Therefore, the distance Δt between the acrylic plate 10 and the intermediate member 35, and between the intermediate member 35A and the intermediate member 35B is the width W2 of the claws 57. These distances Δt are not particularly limited, but the wider the distance Δt, the greater the sense of depth. In this embodiment, the resin stand 2 has uniform distances Δt between the acrylic plate 10 and the intermediate member 35A, and between the intermediate member 35A and the intermediate member 35B, but these distances Δt may be uneven, or they may be zero.

[0069] In the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment, since there is only one intermediate member 35C positioned at the bottom, only two claws 57 are needed for the connecting plate 51D at the bottom. However, by making the shape and structure of the connecting plate 51D the same as that of the connecting plate 51A, manufacturing becomes easier and there are cost advantages. In addition, having spare claws 57 allows for the addition of further intermediate members 35 to the bottom.

[0070] The resin stand 2 of the second embodiment, having the above configuration, has a larger number of intermediate members 35 compared to the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment, and the shape and structure of the intermediate members 35 are different. However, it is a self-standing, block-shaped resin stand that allows users to enjoy a three-dimensional design by arranging multiple character, picture, or other design 70 in the front-to-back direction (Z-axis direction). Its operation and effects are basically the same as those of the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment.

[0071] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the resin stand assembly kit 3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Components identical to those in the resin stand 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0072] The resin stand assembly kit 3 of the third embodiment is an assembly kit for the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment, and includes acrylic plates 10A, 10B, connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, 50D, intermediate member 30, and plate member 80 into which they are fitted.

[0073] The resin stand assembly kit 3 of the third embodiment can be manufactured by using a rectangular resin plate and laser cutting the acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate member 30, and connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D along their respective outlines. The resin plate is not limited to a specific type of resin plate, but typically it is an acrylic plate with a thickness of about 3 mm.

[0074] The plate member 80 is a rectangular resin plate from which the laser-cut acrylic plates 10A and 10B, the intermediate member 30, and the connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D have been removed. Therefore, the plate member 80 has fitting holes formed where the acrylic plates 10A and 10B, the intermediate member 30, and the connecting plates 50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D were fitted (see Figure 11).

[0075] As described above, the resin stand 1 of the first embodiment can be easily obtained by using the resin stand assembly kit 3 of the third embodiment. Furthermore, the resin stand assembly kit 3 allows the resin stand 1 to be assembled without the use of tools, providing the enjoyment of assembling a puzzle. The same applies to the resin stand assembly kit 4 of the fourth embodiment, which will be described later.

[0076] Figure 10 is a plan view of the resin stand assembly kit 4 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 11 is a perspective view of the plate member 80 of the resin stand assembly kit 4 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Components identical to those of the resin stand 2 shown in Figures 5 to 8 and the resin stand assembly kit 3 according to the third embodiment shown in Figure 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0077] The resin stand assembly kit 4 of the fourth embodiment is an assembly kit for the resin stand 2 of the second embodiment. The basic configuration of the resin stand assembly kit 4 of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the resin stand assembly kit 3 of the third embodiment, and includes acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate members 35A, 35B, 35C, connecting plates 51A, 50B, 50C, 51D, and plate members 80 into which they are fitted.

[0078] The resin stand assembly kit 4 of the fourth embodiment is manufactured in the same manner as the resin stand assembly kit 3 of the third embodiment, and the plate member 80 is a resin plate from which the laser-cut acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate members 35A, 35B, 35C, and connecting plates 51A, 50B, 50C, 51D have been removed from a rectangular resin plate. Therefore, fitting holes 82 are formed in the plate member 80 where the acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate members 35A, 35B, 35C, and connecting plates 51A, 50B, 50C, 51D were fitted (see Figure 11).

[0079] The resin stand assembly kit 4 of the fourth embodiment includes not only acrylic plates 10A, 10B, intermediate members 35A, 35B, 35C, and connecting plates 51A, 50B, 50C, 51D, but also a plate member 80 into which each member can be fitted. This is preferable because each member can be fitted into the plate member 80, preventing them from coming apart. Furthermore, fitting each member into the plate member 80 is also preferable in terms of packaging in a bag when commercializing the product.

[0080] The resin stand and resin stand assembly kit according to the present invention have been described above using the resin stands 1 and 2 of the first and second embodiments and the resin stand assembly kits 3 and 4 of the third and fourth embodiments. However, the resin stand and resin stand assembly kit according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified without changing the gist of the invention.

[0081] In the resin stands of the first and second embodiments, connecting plates for connecting acrylic plates are arranged on the top, both sides, and bottom of the acrylic plates. However, the connecting plates may also be composed of connecting plates arranged on the top and bottom of the acrylic plates. Furthermore, if the resin stand fixes the intermediate member to the connecting plate on the top or side, the connecting plate placed on the bottom of the acrylic plate may be omitted. If the resin stand fixes the intermediate member to the connecting plate on the side, connecting plates may be placed only on both sides of the acrylic plate. In addition, in the above embodiments, connecting plates, or in other words, plate-shaped connectors, are used to connect the acrylic plates, but depending on the shape and structure of the resin stand, rod-shaped connectors may be used instead of connecting plates.

[0082] While preferred embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings, those skilled in the art will readily anticipate various changes and modifications within the obvious scope upon reviewing this specification. Such changes and modifications will therefore be construed as falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
