Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a free-standing desk calendar that allows writing implements and the like to be stored upright. [Background technology]

[0002] Freestanding desk calendars include calendars in which the calendar paper is stored in a case made of plastic or highly rigid cardboard, and calendars in which the calendar paper is hung on a freestanding base. However, since the space on a desk is small, writing utensils and other items are needed, and a desk calendar that can store these items is required.

[0003] For example, in Patent Document 1, a desk calendar stand is described that is formed into a triangular tube with a front plate that holds multiple calendar sheets on the front side, a back plate connected to the upper part of the front plate, and a bottom plate connected to the lower part of the front plate and the lower part of the back plate. We propose a desk calendar stand in which the front panel is formed with a calendar paper holder that holds the calendar paper, the upper part of the front panel is formed with a writing tool holding hole in which a writing tool is held so that it can be inserted and removed, and the bottom panel is formed with a stopper that receives the lower end of the writing tool inserted into the writing tool holding hole and restricts its movement.

[0004] This desk calendar stand can be easily transformed from a folded state to a usable state, and since the calendar paper is fastened with a binder, problems such as the calendar paper being lost are unlikely to occur. However, this desk calendar has a problem in that the size of the calendar paper must be reduced in order to accommodate leaflets and the like in a position that is visible from the front.

Cut out the holes on the front and back of the calendar paper. Between the top plate, back plate and bottom plate, an insert plate is placed to maintain the distance between the top plate and back plate, which is parallel to the bottom plate. The insert plate has two lines that are parallel to the edge and spaced equally from left to right, and both ends of the edge abut the lines that connect the lower end of the front plate and the lower end of the back plate to the bottom plate. This is a desk calendar that features: Effect of the Invention

[0008] The desk calendar of the present invention does not require the use of smaller calendar paper to display the dates, but rather allows the bottom plate to be expanded and an insert plate to be inserted into the gap between the front plate, back plate, and bottom plate to provide space for storing small items. Moreover, the calendar can be easily folded up and disposed of with minimal space. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, the desk calendar of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a desk calendar 1 of the present invention. The desk calendar 1 is composed of a base body 10 in which a front panel 2, a back panel 3, and a bottom panel 4 are connected, a number of calendar papers 5, a binder 6 for binding them together, and an insert plate 7.

[0011] The bottom plate 4 is made of a rectangular plate material having a bottom fold line 41 in the center, and at both ends parallel to the bottom fold line 41, the lower end of the front plate 2 is connected to one end edge, and the lower end of the back plate 3 is connected to the other end edge.

[0012] The front plate 2 and the back plate 3 are provided with a plurality of holes 21, 31 on the left and right sides at the upper part, and notches 22, 32 between the left and right holes at the center of the upper end. At least the plurality of holes 21, 31 in the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 are drilled at the same pitch and at the same positions.

[0013] FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the blank 11 and the insert plate 7 that constitute the desk calendar 1 of the present invention. The blank 11 shown in FIG. 2-1 has a rectangular bottom plate 4 in the center, and a bottom fold line 41 is provided in the center with the center line as a crease. In addition, at both ends of the bottom plate, one end edge is connected to the front lower end edge 23 of the front plate by a line, and the other end edge is connected to the back lower end edge 33 of the back plate by a line.

[0014] The top plate 2 has a plurality of holes 21 on the left and right sides at the top, and a notch 22 between the left and right holes at the center of the upper end. Similarly, on the upper part of the back plate 3, there are provided a plurality of holes 31 on the left and right, and a notch 32 between the left and right holes at the center of the upper end.

[0015] The front plate 2, back plate 3 and bottom plate 4 are formed in a shape that is almost symmetrical with respect to the bottom fold line 41. Therefore, since the blank 11 has the above-mentioned structure, when it is folded at the bottom fold line 41, the base body 10 can be easily folded.

[0016] FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the binding device 6. In FIG. The binding device 6 is formed of a wire or strip material in the shape of a circular arc with a notch connected in the central axis direction. The material may be a spring material of stainless steel wire, piano wire, a spring material of stainless steel plate, or a plastic such as a polyethylene terephthalate resin sheet, celluloid, polypropylene resin, high impact polystyrene resin, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer resin, polyacetal resin, or polyimide resin. Figure 3-1 shows an embodiment of the binding device 6 manufactured by forming a spring material of stainless steel wire into the shape shown in the figure and hardening it, and the end is bent sideways so that it is difficult to come out of the holes 21 and 31 after it is assembled. In the case of the binding device 6 formed from wire, it is preferable that two wires pass through each of the holes 21 and 31. . The binding device 6 to be formed is preferably an arc with a diameter such that the angle between the front plate 2 and the bottom plate 4 of the back plate 3 is not greater than perpendicular, and the upper ends of the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 are opened as far as possible to allow storage of small items therebetween. For this reason, the shape of the binding device 6 may be an oval or elliptical arc rather than a perfect circle. At this time, the major axis of the binding device 6 is made shorter than the width of the bottom plate.

[0017] When the binding device 6 is formed not from wire but from a strip or plate material, a flat plate material is pressed and cut into a comb-like shape as shown in FIG. 3-2(A). After that, as shown in (a), the blade is rounded to form a shape where the comb-shaped part is overlapped with the horizontal plate-shaped part that connects the blades. In the case of metal, hardening is performed at this stage. In the case of resin, the resin may be injection molded into the final shape during molding, or may be extruded into a sheet or wire and then molded.

[0018] FIG. 2-3 shows an embodiment of the insertion plate 7, and shows Example 4, which shows the shape of a blank and the shape folded along the score line for inserting the blank. The insertion plate 7 is made of a rigid plate material and is composed of a rectangular base plate 71 and an upright plate 73 that is connected to the base plate 71 via a line 72 that is made up of two opposing sides of the base plate 71. The end of the standing plate 73 connected by the line 72 that faces the line 72 abuts against the vicinity of the line where the lower end of the front plate and the lower end of the back plate connect to the bottom plate, and abuts against the lower inner surface of the front plate 2 and the lower inner surface of the back plate 3. By abutting the lower end of the standing plate 73 against the vicinity of the line, even if a small item is placed on the insertion plate 7, the weight of the item can be supported. The width of the base plate 71 is sufficiently narrower than the width of the bottom plate 4, and is wide enough to provide a sufficient gap between the notch above the front plate 2 and the notch above the back plate 3. In other words, the insertion plate 7 reliably widens the gap between the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 to a certain width or more and maintains it, making it easy to insert and remove small items into the gap between the notches of the front plate 2 and the back plate 3.

[0019] FIG. 4 is an example embodiment of a calendar paper 5 . The calendar paper 5 has at least holes 51 on the upper left and right sides at the same positions as the holes 21, 31 on the front plate 2 and the back plate 3, and has a notch 52 between the left and right holes 51. The calendar paper 5 may be thinner than the sheet of the base body 10 such as the front panel 2 . However, it is preferable that it is not made larger than the outer shape of the top plate 2.

[0020] FIG. 5 is an external perspective view showing the desk calendar of the present invention in a state in which the calendar pages are being turned over. The height of the calendar paper 5 is set sufficiently lower than the height of the front panel 2. This allows the calendar paper 5 to be turned over without the bottom edge of the calendar paper 5 coming into contact with the surface of the desk or the like on which the desk calendar is placed. Since there is a gap between the hole 51 above the calendar paper 5 and the cross section of the insertion portion of the binding device, the height of the front panel 2 and the height of the calendar paper 5 must be lowered to at least the extent of that gap.

[0021] The desk calendar of the present invention, when assembled, will look like that shown in FIG. A gap 12 between the notch 22 in the front panel 2 and the notch 32 in the back panel 3 forms a storage section capable of storing small items such as pens, a utility knife, and memo paper. The shape and size of the binding tool 6 engaged with the hole 21 of the front plate 2 and the hole 31 of the back plate 3 are adjusted to provide a sufficient gap between the notch 22 of the front plate 2 and the notch 32 of the back plate 3, and the gap can be held in a securely widened state by the insertion plate 7, so that even bulky items can be stored. Furthermore, small items can be stored on the side both above and below the insertion plate 7, which is convenient.

[0022] In the desk calendar of the present invention, the board materials used for the front board, bottom board, back board, insert board, etc. have a basis weight of 90 to 500 g / m 2 Paperboard made of high-quality paper, milk carton paper, special paper, polyethylene terephthalate sheets, polypropylene sheets, etc. can be used. The calendar paper may be made of the above board material, but it is thinner, 60 g / m 2 The plate material may be of this order.

[0023] The desk calendar of the present invention is as described above, and the bottom plate is expanded by the insertion plate without making the calendar paper that displays the dates smaller, and the notches in the front plate and back plate are reliably spaced apart by the insertion plate, making it easy to take in and out small items. Furthermore, by inserting the insertion plate, not only can small items be inserted from above, but also small items can be stored from the side. Another advantage of the present invention is that by removing the insert plate from the bottom, the entire desk calendar can be folded and laid flat for easy delivery. [Explanation of symbols]
