Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pole stand that supports the lower end portion of a pole such as a flagpole and holds the pole in an upright position. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a pole stand for flags that supports the lower end of a pole for a flag, etc., for the purpose of improving the storability, transportability, and handling of the pole stand.

[0003] The pole stand has a plate-shaped base, a plurality of support parts installed on the upper surface of the base, and a plurality of legs installed on the side surfaces of the base. When in use, the plurality of support parts are each installed at equal distances from the center of gravity of the upper surface of the base on a plurality of imaginary extension lines extending radially while maintaining equal central angles around the center of gravity of the upper surface of the base, and the plurality of legs are installed outward on the side surfaces of the base on a plurality of imaginary extension lines extending radially while maintaining equal central angles around the center of gravity of the upper surface of the base, and support a pole with the upper surface near the center of gravity of the base and opposing portions of the plurality of support parts near the center of gravity of the base. When not in use, the pole stand can be disassembled into the base, the plurality of support parts, and the plurality of legs.

[0004] Furthermore, paragraph 0006 of Patent Document 1 describes that the pole stand can be easily assembled and disassembled, and is therefore excellent in terms of storability, transportability, and ease of handling.

[0005] However, since the pole stand is constructed by combining many parts, including the base, a number of support parts installed on the upper surface of the base, and a number of legs installed on the sides of the base, when the pole stand is disassembled, it simply results in an assembly of many separate parts.

[0006] Therefore, the pole stand had to be transported or stored by storing the individual parts in boxes, bags, etc., which was troublesome to handle and did not allow for compact transportation or storage. In addition, there was a risk that some parts would be lost during transportation or storage, and there was also a risk that parts would come into contact with each other and be damaged when many parts were stored in boxes, bags, etc. and transported.

[0020] 1 to 9, the pole stand 1 of the present invention is suitable for use in supporting a lower end portion 5 of a pole 3 of an indoor banner 2 or the like to hold the pole 3 in an upright position, and comprises a base member 6 and a plurality of rod-shaped leg pieces 7 which are detachably attached to the base member 6. A support cylinder 9 with an open upper end is erected on an upper surface 8 of the base member 6 for detachably inserting and holding the lower end portion 5 of the pole 3, and a support hole 13 is recessed into an outer surface portion 10 of the base member 6 for detachably inserting and holding a base end portion 12 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 which protrude outward.

[0021] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 protrude radially from the support cylinder 9 as a center on the outer surface portion 10 of the base member 6 at approximately equal angular pitches in the circumferential direction of the base member 6. Here, "radially" means protruding radially outward from the support cylinder 9, and is not limited to the axis of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 passing through the axis of the support cylinder.

[0022] Further, the upper surface portion 8 of the base member 6 is provided with holding holes 16 with open upper ends, which are recessed in correspondence with the respective rod-shaped leg pieces 7 and into which the base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 protruding upward are detachably inserted and held. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5, the holding holes 16 are recessed adjacent to the periphery of the support cylinder 9 in a state close to the support cylinder 9, and by detachably inserting and holding the base end portions 12 of all the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 in the holding holes 16 with the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 in an upright state, all the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 are erected along the support cylinder 9, and the support cylinder 9 and the rod-shaped leg pieces 7, 7, 7, 7 form an erect assembly 17 (Fig. 8) in which the rod-shaped leg pieces 7, 7, 7, 7 are assembled in an erected bundle. The upper ends 19 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 that make up the upright assembly 17 are at approximately the same height, and the upper ends 19 protrude upward above the upper end 20 of the support cylinder 9, so that a gripping space 23 is formed in the upper central portion of the upright assembly 17 for gripping the upper end portions 22 of each rod-shaped leg piece 7 with the fingers.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 2 to 6, the pole stand 1 has a vertical hole 18 at the center of the upper surface 8 of the pedestal member 6, which is a rectangular parallelepiped having a square shape in a plan view, for forming the support cylinder 9 with an open upper end into which the lower end portion 5 of the support 3 such as a flagpole 2 is detachably inserted and held. The vertical hole 18 has a circular opening 18a at the bottom center of the bottom surface of the pedestal member 6. The support cylinder 9 is formed by inserting the lower end portion 14a of a cylindrical tubular member 14 into the vertical hole 18 in a press-fit state, as shown in Fig. 4. In addition, the four corners of the bottom surface of the pedestal member 6 are provided with pedestal protrusions 25 protruding downward. As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the support holes 13 for detachably inserting and holding the base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 protruding laterally from the base member 6 are recessed slightly downward with respect to the horizontal line as shown in Figure 7 in each of the four outer side surface portions 10 of the base member 6. Also, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 and 9, the holding holes 16 are provided so as to reach the bottom portions 26 of the base projections 25, and an opening 27 is provided in the center of the bottom portions 26 for removing dust and water as shown in Figure 9.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 are made of a straight metal pipe whose peripheral surface is resin-coated, and a resin cap 30 is attached to the tip portion 29 thereof as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 are inserted and held in the holding holes 16, so that the four rod-shaped leg pieces 7, 7, 7, 7 are erected along the support cylinder 9, and the support cylinder 9 and the rod-shaped leg pieces 7, 7, 7, 7 form the erect assembly 17 (Figs. 8 and 9). The insertion for achieving the inserted and held state is not a very strong fit, since the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 can be relatively easily removed from the holding holes 16 when the pole stand 1 is used next time. The upper ends 19 of the four rod-shaped leg pieces 7 in an upright state that make up the upright assembly 17 are at approximately the same height, as shown in Figure 8, and the upper ends 19 protrude upward above the upper end 20 of the support cylinder 9, so that the gripping space 23 for gripping the upper end portions 22 of each rod-shaped leg piece 7 with the fingers is formed in the upper central portion of the upright assembly 17.

[0025] In this embodiment, as described above, the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 have the plastic caps 30 attached to their tip portions 29. Therefore, if the height of the upper ends 19 of the four rod-shaped leg pieces 7 and the height of the upper end 20 of the support cylinder 9 are equal in the upright assembly 17, the plastic caps 30 may come into forcefully contact with the upper end portion of the support cylinder 9, making it impossible for the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 to be upright. However, the gripping space 23 allows the plastic caps 30 to escape, thereby functioning to prevent this while making the diameter of the upright assembly 17 as small as possible.

[0026] In this embodiment, as described above, the support hole 13 is recessed with its axis slightly downward relative to the horizontal line, so that the rod-shaped leg piece 7 protrudes obliquely downward from the base member 6 with its base end portion 12 inserted and held in the support hole 13, as shown in Fig. 7. As described above, the base protrusions 25 protrude from the four corners of the lower surface of the base member 6. Therefore, when the base member 6 is placed on an installation surface 32 by the base protrusions 25, the resin cap 30 provided on the tip portion 29 of the rod-shaped leg piece 7 protruding obliquely downward from the base member 6 abuts against the installation surface 32.

[0027] To give an example of the dimensions of each part of the pole stand 1 having such a configuration, the length of one side of the base member 6 in a plan view (FIG. 5) is set to about 57 mm, and its height is set to about 55 mm. The outer diameter of the support cylinder 9 is set to about 29.5 mm (however, the outer diameter of the flange portion 28 (FIG. 3) at the upper end, which is about 18 mm, is about 32.5 mm), its inner diameter is set to about 27 mm, and the standing height of the support cylinder 9 from the lower surface 33 of the base member 6 is set to about 280 mm. The total length of the rod-shaped leg piece 7 is set to about 300 mm, and its outer diameter, the diameter of the support hole 13, and the diameter of the holding hole 16 are all set to about 16 mm. The diameter of the opening 27 is set to about 12 mm, and the protruding amount of the base protrusion 25 is set to about 6 mm. The depth of the support hole 13 is set to about 18 mm, and the depth of the holding hole 16 is set to about 25 mm. In addition, in the upright assembly 17, the upper end 19 of the rod-shaped leg piece 7 protrudes upward from the upper end 20 of the supporting cylinder 9 by about 25 mm.

[0028] Figures 1-2, 10 and 11 show a pole stand 1 having such a configuration in use, and these pole stands 1 are installed on a floor surface 35 (one of the installation surfaces 32) at indoor exhibitions or events to support the lower end portion of the support pole 3 of the flagpole 2 and hold the support pole 3 in an upright position.

[0029] 1 and 2 show a state in which the base member 6 is stably placed on the floor surface 35 by abutting the four base protrusions 25 (FIGS. 6 and 7) provided at the four corners of the underside of the base member 6 and the resin caps 30 provided at the tip portions 29 of each of the four rod-shaped legs 7 against the floor surface 35, thereby stably supporting the lower end portions of the poles 3 of the flagpole 2 on the base member 6. In this embodiment, since the resin caps 30 are attached to the tip portions 29 of each of the rod-shaped legs 7, there is no risk of the tips of the rod-shaped legs 7 damaging the floor surface 35.

[0030] 10 shows the pole stand 1 in use, with the base end portion 12 of each of the three rod-shaped legs 7 inserted and held in the support hole 13, and illustrates the pole stand 1 being installed against a wall by aligning the two straight rod-shaped legs 7, 7 along the wall surface 34. In this case, the removed rod-shaped leg 7A can be managed in an upright state with its base end portion 12 inserted in the holding hole 16 as shown in FIG. 10, so there is no risk of the rod-shaped leg 7a being lost.

[0031] FIG. 11 shows the pole stand 1, in which the base end portions 12 of two rod-shaped leg pieces 7, 7 that are perpendicular to each other are inserted and held in the support holes 13, installed in a protruding corner portion 36 of a wall.

[0032] In this case, the two removed rod-shaped leg pieces 7A, 7B can be managed in an upright state with their base end portions 12 inserted into the retaining holes 16, as shown in Figure 11, so there is no risk of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7A, 7B being lost.

[0033] In any state of use, as described above, the four base protrusions 25 and the respective tip portions 29 (in this embodiment, the plastic caps 30) of the four, three or two rod-shaped leg pieces 7 abut against the floor surface 35, with the pole stand 1 being in an installed state on the floor surface 35, and the flagpole support 3 is held in an upright position by the pole stand 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, as described above with reference to Fig. 7, the rod-shaped leg piece 7 protrudes obliquely downward from the base member 6, so that even if the pole stand 1 must be installed in a place where the floor surface 35 is carpeted and has some protrusions due to wrinkles on the surface, the protrusions can be moved to the lower side 34 (Fig. 7) of the inclined rod-shaped leg piece 7. Therefore, the pole stand 1 according to this embodiment has the advantage that it can be installed stably without being affected by some unevenness of the floor surface 35.

[0035] FIG. 12 shows how to disassemble the pole stand 1 that supported the support 3 and store it in a storage bag 37. The left side of the figure shows the standing assembly 17 formed by inserting and holding the base end portion 12 of the rod-shaped leg piece 7 in the holding hole 16 of the base member 6. The standing assembly 17 is compactly stored within the size of the base member 6, which is approximately square in plan view. In the standing assembly 17, the positional relationship between the base member 6, the support cylinder 9, and the rod-shaped leg piece 7 is set as required, so that these components do not come into contact with each other and are not damaged. The right side of FIG. 12 shows the standing assembly 17 stored in the storage bag 37, and the stored state is compact with reduced volume.

[0036] For this reason, the pole stand 1 can be transported and stored easily while saving space, and safely without causing damage to the components. In addition, since the pole stand 1 is configured to insert and hold the base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 in the holding holes 16 of the base member 6, it is easy to know whether the rod-shaped leg pieces 7 are inserted and held in all of the holding holes 16 before storing the standing assembly 17 in the storage bag 37. As a result, the parts that make up the pole stand 1 can be easily and reliably managed.

[0037] When the pole stand 1 is used next time, the upper central portion of the standing assembly 17 taken out of the storage bag 37 has a gripping space 23 (FIG. 8) for gripping the upper end portion 22 of each rod-shaped leg piece 7 with fingers. To remove each rod-shaped leg piece 7 from the holding hole 16, as described above, the gripping space 23 is used to grip the upper end portion 22 with fingers and lift the rod-shaped leg piece 7. This allows the rod-shaped leg piece 7 to be easily pulled out of the holding hole 16 and removed from the base member. In particular, in this embodiment, the resin cap 30 is attached to the tip portion of the rod-shaped leg piece 7, and the resin cap 30 improves the ease of gripping the upper end portion 22. Thereafter, by inserting and retaining the base end portions 12 of the required number of rod-shaped leg pieces 7 in the support holes 13, the pole stand 1 can be installed on an installation surface 32 such as a floor surface in the manner shown in Figures 1-2, 10 and 11, thereby stably supporting the posts 3 of the flagpole 2. EXAMPLES

[0038] The present invention is by no means limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that various design modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. Examples thereof are as follows.

[0039] (1) Figure 13 shows another embodiment of a pole stand 1 according to the present invention, which comprises a base member 6 and rod-shaped legs 7, 7, 7, 7 which are detachably attached to the base member 6. A support cylinder 9 with an open upper end is erected on an upper surface 8 of the base member 6, in the center of the upper surface 8 in Figure 13, for detachably inserting and holding a lower end portion of a pole 3 such as a flag. In addition, on each of the left and right sides 10a, 10a of an outer surface portion 10 of the base member 6, two support holes 13, 13 are recessed at a required interval (for example, an interval of about 20 to 30 cm) in the front and rear directions for detachably inserting and holding base end portions 12, 12 of the two rod-shaped legs 7, 7. Furthermore, the upper surface portion 8 of the base member 6 has holding holes 16 with open upper ends recessed around the support cylinder 9 for detachably inserting and holding the base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped legs 7 in correspondence with the respective rod-shaped legs 7.

[0040] The rod-shaped leg pieces 7 may be erected close to the support cylinder 9 as shown by dotted lines 7a, 7a, 7a, 7a in Figure 13, or they may be erected slightly away from the support cylinder 9 as shown by dotted lines 7b, 7b, 7b, 7b in Figure 13.

[0041] The solid line in Fig. 13 shows a state in which the base end portions 12 of the rod-shaped legs 7 are inserted and held in the support holes 13 of the base member 6, and the lower end portions of the posts 3 are inserted and held in the support cylinder 9, thereby supporting the posts 3 of a banner or the like. The dashed dotted line in Fig. 13 shows a state in which the base end portions 12 of all the rod-shaped legs 7 are detachably inserted and held in the holding holes 16, thereby erecting the rod-shaped legs 7, and the erect assembly 17 is formed when the posts 3 are removed.

[0042] In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, base protrusions 25 having a configuration similar to that shown in FIG. 6 are provided at the four corners of the underside of the base member 6, and a plastic cap 30 is provided at the tip of the rod-shaped leg piece 7. When the base member 6 is placed on an installation surface 32 using the base protrusions 25, the plastic cap 30 at the tip of the rod-shaped leg piece 7 protruding diagonally downward from the base member 6 abuts against the installation surface 32.

[0043] (2) The shape of the base member 6 in plan view may be a square or rectangular shape as described above, or may be a polygonal shape such as a hexagon or octagon, or a circular shape.

[0044] (3) In FIG. 5, in which the base member 6 has a square shape in a plan view, the rod-shaped leg piece 7 may protrude from an outer surface portion 10 of a corner portion of the base member 6 having a square shape in a plan view, as shown by a dotted line in the same figure.

[0045] (4) The number of the rod-shaped legs 7 protruding from the outer surface portion 10 of the base member 6 may be 5 to 8, etc., other than the above-mentioned 3. The numbers of the support holes 13 and the holding holes 16 are set according to the set number.

[0046] (5) The manner in which the rod-like legs 7 protrude radially also includes a manner in which the rod-like legs protrude at different angular pitches as viewed in the circumferential direction, as shown by the two-dot chain lines in FIG.

[0047] (6) The support cylinder 9 may be provided upright at the center of the upper surface portion 8 of the base member 6, or may be provided upright at a location away from the center.
