[0015] The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, comparative examples, and modified examples, the same or equivalent components and members are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate. The dimensions of the members in each drawing are enlarged or reduced as appropriate for ease of understanding. Some of the members that are not important for explaining the embodiments are omitted in each drawing.

[0016] In addition, terms including ordinal numbers such as first and second are used to describe various components, but these terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another, and do not limit the components. Note that, on the widest surface of a band-shaped member (hereinafter referred to as the "principal surface"), the length in the extension direction of the member is referred to as the "extension length," and the width in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction is referred to as the "member width."

[0017] [Embodiment] The configuration of a display aid 100 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram that shows a schematic diagram of a first example of the display aid 100 according to an embodiment. Fig. 1(A) is a front view of the display aid 100, and Fig. 1(B) is a side view of the display aid 100. Fig. 2 is a front view showing the state in which the first example of the display aid 100 is applied to an object to be displayed 10.

[0018] The display aid 100 of the embodiment is a display aid that restricts the movement of a display object 10 consisting of one or more items 1, and can hold an eye-catching object 6 by stacking it on the front surface 11 of the display object 10. The item 1 is typically a book such as a comic book. The item 1 may be, for example, an empty box or a box containing some item.

[0019] The article 1 of the embodiment is a book, commonly known as a comic book or a paperback, and is a hexahedron having a front cover, a spine cover, a back cover, a top surface, and a bottom surface along mutually intersecting planes. Hereinafter, the length and width of the front cover when placed vertically will be referred to as "length" and "width", and the depth will be referred to as "depth" and "thickness". In this specification, the horizontal direction of the article 1 is parallel to the left-right direction, the vertical direction of the article 1 is parallel to the up-down direction, and the depth direction of the article 1 is parallel to the front-back direction.

[0020] Typically, the front and back covers are rectangular and of the same size, and may be any of the following sizes: bunko size (105mm wide x 148mm long), shinsho size (112mm wide x 174mm long), B6 ​​size (128mm wide x 182mm long), shiroku size (128mm wide x 188mm long), A5 size (148mm wide x 210mm long), kiku size (150mm wide x 220mm long), B5 size (182mm wide x 257mm long), AB size (210mm wide x 257mm long), and A4 size (210mm wide x 297mm long). Below, an example will be described in which the item 1 is a B6 size comic book whose front and back covers are 128mm wide x 182mm long and 14mm thick.

[0021] For example, the front cover, the back cover, etc. are the main display surfaces to be shown to people when the product is displayed. The main display surfaces may be configured for the purpose of exposing information related to the product 1 in as wide an area as possible so that the information will attract people's attention.

[0022] Conventional bookends are used as stands to expose as much of the display surface as possible. Such displays of books and the like using bookends are too general and uninteresting, and do not have a sufficient eye-catching effect to attract people's attention or arouse their interest.

[0023] The display object 10 is a collection of one or more items 1, and in the example of Fig. 2, it includes five B6-sized comic books stacked horizontally. In other words, the display object 10 includes five items 1. Note that the display object 10 may be a box or the like that contains a collection of one or more items 1.

[0024] The display object 10 is typically a hexahedron having a front surface 11, side surfaces 12, 13, bottom surface 14, top surface 15, and back surface 16 that intersect with each other. The side surfaces 12, 13, bottom surface 14, and top surface 15 may each be perpendicular to the front surface 11. The back surface 16 may be parallel to the front surface 11. The display object 10 may have a shape other than a hexahedron. Each of these surfaces does not need to be strictly flat. As an example, the front surface 11, side surfaces 12, 13, bottom surface 14, top surface 15, and back surface 16 may each be a flat surface, may have irregularities and be substantially regarded as one surface, or may include a slightly curved surface.

[0025] The front surface 11 of the display object 10 may be a main display surface for showing to people. The display aid 100 includes a bottom surface 2, a side surface 3, and a holding portion 5. The bottom surface 2, the side surface 3, and the holding portion 5 are integrally connected. The bottom surface 2 contacts the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10. The bottom surface 2 in this example extends in the horizontal direction. The bottom surface 2 is interposed between the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10 and the display shelf 18, and is pressed against the display shelf 18 by the weight of the display object 10. With this configuration, the bottom surface 2 is supported between the bottom surface 14 and the display shelf 18, and supports the side surface 3 and the holding portion 5. As an example, the bottom surface 2 may have a member width W2 of 10 mm to 50 mm and an extension length L2 of 30 mm to 90 mm. The member width W2 of the bottom surface portion 2 is more preferably 25 mm to 35 mm, and the extension length L2 of the bottom surface portion 2 is more preferably 50 mm to 70 mm.

[0026] The side surface portion 3 extends along the side surface 12 of the display object 10. In this example, the side surface portion 3 extends obliquely upward along the side surface 12 from one end portion 2b of the bottom surface portion 2. The side surface portion 3 can support the side surface 12 and can regulate the lateral movement of the display object 10. The side surface portion 3 may be in contact with the side surface 12 or may not be in contact with the side surface 12. As an example, the side surface portion 3 may have a member width W3 of 10 mm to 50 mm and an extension length L3 of the central portion of the width of 120 mm to 180 mm. The member width W3 of the side surface portion 3 is more preferably 25 mm to 35 mm, and the extension length L3 of the side surface portion 3 is more preferably 135 mm to 165 mm. As shown in FIG. 1, the inclination angle A of the side surface portion 3 with respect to the horizontal is preferably 20° to 80°, more preferably 30° to 60°, and even more preferably 40° to 50°. The inclination angle A is preferably within a range in which the bottom surface portion 2 does not protrude from the display object 10 when the display object 10 is set on the bottom surface portion 2 .

[0027] The holding portion 5 extends so as to cover the front surface 11. In this example, the holding portion 5 extends laterally along the front surface 11 from the end portion 3b of the side surface portion 3 opposite the bottom surface portion 2. In this example, the holding portion 5 can support the front surface 11 and can restrict the forward movement of the display object 10. The holding portion 5 may be in contact with the front surface 11 or may not be in contact with the front surface 11. As an example, the holding portion 5 may have a member width W5 of 10 mm to 50 mm and an extension length L5 of 30 mm to 90 mm. The member width W5 of the holding portion 5 is more preferably 25 mm to 35 mm, and the extension length L5 of the holding portion 5 is more preferably 50 mm to 70 mm.

[0028] The eye-catching object 6 may be anything that has an eye-catching effect that catches people's attention. The eye-catching object 6 may be, for example, a model of an air-related device used in the air, such as an aircraft, an underwater-related device used on or underwater, such as a ship, or a ground-related device used on or underground, such as a vehicle. The eye-catching object 6 may be, for example, a model of a living being, including a human, or a model of a robot. These models may be models of real or imaginary things, and may be partially or entirely transparent. When the eye-catching object 6 is transparent, it is possible to make the main display surface easier to see. The eye-catching object 6 may also be configured to form a part of the pattern on the main display surface.

[0029] The eye-catching object 6 may be, for example, a non-model such as dried flowers, a biological observation container, or a modeled object made of origami paper or the like. The eye-catching object 6 may be, for example, a display device, or an object whose shape changes over time like a kaleidoscope. The eye-catching object 6 may or may not have a three-dimensional shape. If it has a three-dimensional shape, the eye-catching effect can be easily enhanced. In this example, the item 1 is a book about aircraft, and the eye-catching object 6 is a model of an aircraft related to the item 1.

[0030] The holding part 5 holds the eye-catching object 6 in a detachable manner. As an example, the holding part 5 may include a magnetic body that holds the eye-catching object 6 using magnetic attraction. A magnet with magnetic attraction may be provided on one of the holding part 5 and the eye-catching object 6, and a magnetic body that is attracted to the magnet may be provided on the other. In this example, a magnet fixed to the eye-catching object 6 by adhesive or the like is attracted to the holding part 5 made of a steel plate. In this case, the eye-catching object 6 can be attached to and detached from the holding part 5 without using tools.

[0031] As an example, the holding part 5 may include an easily peelable adhesive member that uses adhesive power to hold the eye-catching object 6. This adhesive member may be a double-sided adhesive sheet, in which case the eye-catching object 6 can be stuck to and peeled off from the holding part 5 multiple times.

[0032] As an example, the holding part 5 may include an engagement mechanism capable of holding the eye-catching object 6 by engaging with projections and recesses on the surface. A protrusion may be provided on one of the holding part 5 and the eye-catching object 6, and a recess capable of engaging with the protrusion may be provided on the other. In this case, the eye-catching object 6 can be repeatedly attached to and detached from the holding part 5 with an inexpensive configuration.

[0033] As an example, the holding part 5 may include a hook-and-loop fastener capable of holding the eye-catching object 6. A male hook-and-loop fastener may be attached to one of the holding part 5 and the eye-catching object 6, and a female hook-and-loop fastener may be attached to the other. In this case, the eye-catching object 6 can be repeatedly attached to and detached from the holding part 5 with an inexpensive configuration.

[0034] The bookend described in Patent Document 1 shows as much of the main display surface as possible, thereby catching the eye with the main display surface, whereas the display aid 100 of this embodiment is provided with an eye-catching object 6 so as to cover the front surface 11 of the item 10 to be displayed, which is the main display surface, and catches the eye mainly with the eye-catching object 6. In other words, the bookend described in Patent Document 1 tries to show as much of the main display surface as possible, whereas the display aid 100 shows the eye-catching object 6 near the center of the front surface 11, which is the main display surface, so the ideas are fundamentally different.

[0035] It is desirable to display the eye-catching object 6 near the center of the front surface 11. In the display aid 100 of the embodiment, when the vertical width of the front surface 11 is 100%, the holding portion 5 covers at least a part of the front surface 11 in a range of 30% to 70% from the lower end. Preferably, the holding portion 5 may be configured to cover a part of the front surface 11 in a range of 40% to 60% from the lower end of the front surface 11. In the embodiment, the holding portion 5 has a lower end position H2 of 72 mm and an upper end position H1 of 102 mm. In this case, since the vertical width of the front surface 11 is 182 mm, the lower end position of the holding portion 5 is 40% from the lower end of the front surface 11, and the upper end position of the holding portion 5 is 57% from the lower end of the front surface 11.

[0036] According to the inventor's study, the upper end position H1 of the holding part 5 is preferably 210 mm or less from the lower end of the front face 11, more preferably 180 mm or less from the lower end of the front face 11, and even more preferably 140 mm or less from the lower end of the front face 11. The lower end position H2 of the holding part 5 is preferably 30 mm or more from the lower end of the front face 11, more preferably 40 mm or more from the lower end of the front face 11, and even more preferably 50 mm or more from the lower end of the front face 11.

[0037] In this case, a person can find the desired display item 10 in a short time by visually checking the eye-catching object 6. Even if the display item 10 is not the person's original purpose, the eye-catching object 6 can give an image of the outline of the display item 10, so the eye-catching object 6 also functions as an introductory pop. The eye-catching object 6 can also be used to decorate the display item 10 for fun.

[0038] The display aid 100 can be manufactured by manufacturing the bottom portion 2, the side portion 3, and the holding portion 5 as multiple separate pieces and joining the pieces together. In this case, multiple forms of the display aid 100 can be provided by changing the shape of any of the bottom portion 2, the side portion 3, and the holding portion 5. The bottom portion 2, the side portion 3, and the holding portion 5 may be formed from the same material, or may be formed from different materials. Examples of materials for the display aid 100 include resin materials such as acrylic resin, and metal materials such as steel and aluminum plates.

[0039] Part or all of the display aid 100 may be transparent. As an example, part of the holding part 5 may be made transparent so that only the picture of the dinosaur in the dinosaur picture book can be seen through. In this case, interest can be aroused and the eye-catching effect can be further enhanced. The display aid 100 may have a hollowed-out part such as a hole or a recess. In this case, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of weight reduction and reduction in the amount of material used.

[0040] Please also refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a development view showing the display aid 100 in an unfolded state. There is a need to manufacture the bottom part 2, the side part 3, and the holding part 5 as one piece. Therefore, in the display aid 100 of the embodiment, the bottom part 2, the side part 3, and the holding part 5 are connected in this order and integrally formed from a strip-shaped material. As an example, the display aid 100 can be manufactured by forming the bottom part 2, the side part 3, and the holding part 5 as an integral member from a strip-shaped thin steel plate by press processing, and bending this integral member.

[0041] Please also refer to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a front view showing a state in which two display aids 100 are applied to the left and right of the display item 10. When the display item 10 is viewed from the front, the display aid 100 arranged on the left side of the display item 10 restricts the movement of the display item 10 to the left. The display aid 100 arranged on the right side of the display item 10 restricts the movement of the display item 10 to the right. In this case, it is desirable that the left and right display aids 100 can be used interchangeably.

[0042] Therefore, in the display aid 100 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the holding part 5 is interposed between the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10 and the display shelf 18, and in a position in which the holding part 5 contacts the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10 and the side surface part 3 contacts the side surface 12 of the display object 10, the bottom surface part 2 can hold the eye-catching object 6 at the front surface 11. In the embodiment, as shown in the development view of FIG. 3, the bottom surface part 2 and the holding part 5 have the same shape. In addition, the bottom surface part 2 and the holding part 5 are bent symmetrically at valley fold lines on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the side surface part 3. In this case, by using two display aids 100 of the same type in different positions, the display object 10 can be supported from the left and right, which is convenient.

[0043] Also refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a second example of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment. It is desirable that the display aid 100 can be easily attached to the display object 10 and easily removed. Therefore, in the second example of the display aid 100, the holding part 5 is configured to be switchable between a closed position that covers the front surface 11 and an open position that opens the front surface 11. The holding part 5 and the side surface part 3 are connected via a hinge 9, and the holding part 5 is supported rotatably on a circumference surrounding the center line of the hinge 9 with respect to the side surface part 3. The solid line in FIG. 5 shows the holding part 5 in the open position, and the dashed line in FIG. 5 shows the holding part 5 in the closed position. In the second example of the display aid 100, the display aid 100 is attached to the display object 10 in the open position and covers the front surface 11 of the display object 10 in the closed position. The holding part 5 can be switched between the closed position and the open position with the eye-catching object 6 attached.

[0044] Also refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a front view showing a third example of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment. In the display aid 100, there is a need to increase the left-right width of the holding part 5. Therefore, in the third example of the display aid 100, the holding part 5 includes a first part 51 that is connected to the end part 3b, which is the extended end of the side part 3, and covers the front surface 11, and a second part 52 that extends from the end part 3b to the opposite side to the first part 51. In this case, since the holding part 5 includes the first part 51 and the second part 52, the left-right width of the holding part 5 can be increased. The holding part 5 can hold, for example, a large eye-catching object 6 or a large mass or a plurality of eye-catching objects 6.

[0045] Also refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a fourth example of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment. FIG. 7(A) is a front view of the fourth example of the display aid 100, and FIG. 7(B) is a side view of the fourth example of the display aid 100. In the first example, the member width of the holding part 5 is equal to or greater than the member width of the side part 3, but in the fourth example, the member width of the holding part 5 is formed narrower than the member width of the side part 3. For example, the member width of the holding part 5 may be in the range of 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the member width of the side part 3. In this case, the range that the holding part 5 covers the front surface 11 becomes narrower, making the front surface 11 easier to see.

[0046] Also refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a front view showing a fifth example of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment. The fifth example of the display aid 100 further includes an extension portion 7 extending from the end of the bottom surface portion 2 far from the side surface portion 3 toward the display object 10. In this case, since the side surface portion 3 and the extension portion 7 are supported by the display object 10, the display aid 100 is unlikely to shift position even if an eye-catching object 6 with a large mass is attached to the holding portion 5. A plurality of display aids 100 of the fifth example may be connected in the horizontal direction for use. In this case, a connecting means for connecting the side surface portion 3 and the extension portion 7 may be provided. Examples of the connecting means include a mechanism using magnetic attraction, an adhesive member using adhesive force, an engagement mechanism with unevenness, a fastener, and the like.

[0047] Also refer to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a front view showing a sixth example of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment. The sixth example of the display aid 100 further includes an extension portion 7 extending from the end of the bottom surface portion 2 farther from the side surface portion 3 toward the display object 10, and a second holding portion 4 extending from the extension portion 7 to cover the front surface 11. The second holding portion 4 in this example extends laterally from the extension portion 7 along the front surface 11. The second holding portion 4 may be provided at the same height as the holding portion 5, or may be provided at a different height from the holding portion 5. In the example of FIG. 9, the second holding portion 4 is provided below the holding portion 5. According to the sixth example, the holding portion 5 and the second holding portion 4 can hold a large eye-catching object 6 or an eye-catching object of large mass. A plurality of the display aids 100 in the sixth example may be connected laterally for use.

[0048] Next, a method of using the display aid 100 according to the embodiment will be described. This method is a method of attaching the eye-catching object 6 by overlapping it on the front surface 11 of the display object 10, and includes the steps of contacting the bottom surface portion 2 with the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10, contacting the side surface portion 3 with the side surface 12 of the display object 10, positioning the holding portion 5 so as to cover the front surface 11, and attaching the eye-catching object 6 to the holding portion 5.

[0049] The features of the display aid 100 according to the embodiment configured as above will be described. The display aid 100 is a display aid that restricts the movement of a display object 10 consisting of one or more articles 1 and can hold an eye-catching object 6 by overlapping it on the front surface 11 of the display object 10, and includes a bottom surface portion 2 that contacts the bottom surface 14 of the display object 10, a side surface portion 3 that extends along the side surface 12 of the display object 10, and a holding portion 5 that extends to cover the front surface 11 and detachably holds the eye-catching object 6. The bottom surface portion 2, the side surface portion 3, and the holding portion 5 are integrally connected.

[0050] According to this configuration, the eye-catching object 6 can be attached so as to cover the front 11 of the display object 10. Therefore, a larger eye-catching object 6 can be attached in a conspicuous area to enhance the eye-catching effect. Also, a person can find the target display object 10 in a short time by visually checking the eye-catching object 6. Even if the display object 10 is not the original purpose, the eye-catching object 6 can provide an image of the outline of the display object 10, so it functions as an introductory pop. Also, the eye-catching object 6 can be used to decorate the display object 10 for fun. Also, it can arouse interest in the display object 10 and / or the eye-catching object 6, which can lead to sales promotion of the display object 10 and / or the eye-catching object 6.

[0051] Next, a display support device 120 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the display support device 120 includes the above-mentioned display support tool 100 and an eye-catching object 6 attached to a holding portion 5. The eye-catching object 6 protrudes forward from the holding portion 5 by 10 mm or more. The protrusion distance of the eye-catching object 6 from the holding portion 5 (hereinafter simply referred to as "protrusion distance") refers to the distance from the main surface of the holding portion 5 to the forefront of the eye-catching object 6. According to the inventors' observations, from the viewpoint of enhancing the eye-catching effect, the protrusion distance is more preferably 15 mm or more, even more preferably 20 mm or more, and even more preferably 30 mm or more.

[0052] According to this display auxiliary device 120, the eye-catching object 6 protrudes forward from the holder 5, so that the display object 10 can be easily found even when viewed from the side, enhancing the eye-catching effect.
