[0049] Hereinafter, a display case according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment shown below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown below. In these drawings, the symbol X indicates a display case according to this embodiment.

[0050] <Embodiment 1> The display case X according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. For ease of explanation, the side of the case body 1 on which the dimming portion 1a is provided will be referred to as the front, the side on which the lid portion 1c is provided will be referred to as the rear, and the long side direction of the base portion C will be referred to as the width direction.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the display case X includes a case body 1 provided with a display space S for housing a sword K (see FIGS. 8 and 9), and a semi-transparent opening and closing door 2.

[0052] The case body 1 has a substantially U-shaped cross section in a side view, and the opening and closing door 2 has a substantially U-shaped cross section in a plan view, so that the display case X as a whole is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0053] The case main body 1 also has a lighting section A that illuminates the sword K, a sword support section B that supports the sword K in the hollow of the exhibition space S, a base section C that forms the bottom of the exhibition space S, a sword information display section D that displays information about the sword K, a humidity-control material storage section E that stores a humidity-control material (not shown) that controls the humidity of the exhibition space S, and an accessory storage space F that stores accessories for the sword K (not shown).

[0054] As shown particularly in Figure 2, the lighting unit A is located at the top of the case body 1, facing the sword support unit B and the base unit C, and includes a spotlight-type blade pattern lighting unit A1 that illuminates the blade pattern of the sword K, and a ceiling light-type jigane lighting unit A2 that illuminates the jigane of the sword K. Fig. 2(a) is a schematic perspective view of the case body 1 as viewed from the bottom side, omitting the opening and closing door 2. Fig. 2(b) is a plan view as viewed from the arrow p in Fig. 2(a).

[0055] In this embodiment, two blade pattern illumination units A1 are provided, and the illumination area is adjustable. That is, the blade pattern illumination part A1 is provided with a substantially cylindrical blade pattern illumination part main body A1a equipped with a light source, and a bracket A1b connected to the blade pattern illumination part main body A1a. The blade pattern illumination part main body A1a and the bracket A1b are connected by a joint (not shown) such as a universal joint or a ball joint that allows for stepless adjustment of the relative angle, so that the illumination direction can be set arbitrarily (arrow a1). The bracket A1b is attached to a rail part r that extends in the width direction, so that the blade pattern illumination part main body A1a can slide along the width direction (arrow a2). The number of blade pattern illumination sections A1 is not limited to two, and can be changed arbitrarily according to the size of the case body 1, etc.

[0056] The bare iron lighting unit A2 is provided behind the rail unit r along the width direction, and is configured to be able to illuminate the entire sword K. The position of the bare iron lighting unit A2 is not limited to this, and may be provided in front of the rail portion r.

[0057] The blade support part B includes a first blade support part Ba and a second blade support part Bb, which are provided in a pair in the width direction. The first blade support part Ba and the second blade support part Bb are each configured to protrude from the rear side of the case body 1 toward the exhibition space S, and as shown in Fig. 3 in particular, are configured to be slidable along the width direction (arrow a3). The first sword support part Ba is configured to have a longer protruding length than the second sword support part Bb, which prevents the sword K supported by the first sword support part Ba from being in the shadow of the sword K supported by the second sword support part Bb, and allows the illumination to be applied evenly to both swords K.

[0058] The base C is a substantially rectangular plate-like body, and includes a decorative surface C1 on its surface. In this embodiment, an example has been shown in which lacquer decoration has been applied to the decorative surface C1, but the form of decoration is not limited to this, and any design may be drawn or wallpaper may be pasted.

[0059] The sword information display unit D is a thin plate-like body having a substantially rectangular shape, and is provided at the bottom of the case body 1. Information displayed by the sword information display unit D includes, for example, the name of the sword K exhibited in the exhibition space S, the date of manufacture, the name of the maker, etc.

[0060] As shown particularly in Figures 2 and 4, a pair of humidity-regulating material storage sections E are provided on the upper part of the case main body 1, and the bottom surface of the humidity-regulating material storage section E is configured as a ventilation floor surface E1 with multiple communication holes formed therein that connect the interior of the humidity-regulating material storage section E with the exhibition space S. Examples of the humidity control member include a humidity control agent such as silica gel, a small humidity control device, and the like.

[0061] As shown particularly in FIG. 5, the accessory storage space F is provided in the lower part of the case body 1 and opens upward. In addition, the accessories include, for example, certificates such as a sword appraisal certificate and a plain sheath, and other equipment that is left over when the sword K is exhibited.

[0062] Describing other configurations of the case body 1 in detail, the case body 1 is provided with a light control section 1a at its upper portion, and a pair of hinge sections 1b connected to the opening and closing door 2 on its sides. The dimming unit 1a is composed of a dimmer dial l1 for the blade pattern illumination unit, which adjusts the brightness of the blade pattern illumination unit A1 in stages, a dimmer dial power supply unit l2 for enabling dimming using the dimmer dial l1 for the blade pattern illumination unit, and a switch l3 for the blade pattern illumination unit, which switches the blade pattern illumination unit A2 ON / OFF. In addition, the jigetsu illumination unit A2 may also be configured so that the brightness can be adjusted in stages, similar to the blade pattern illumination unit A1, for example by making the jigetsu illumination unit switch l3 a dial type.

[0063] Furthermore, as shown particularly in FIG. 4, the case main body 1 is provided on its rear surface with a pair of lid portions 1c for covering the entrance and exit of the humidity control member storage section E, a pair of wall-hanging member mounting portions 1d to which a wall-hanging member Y can be attached (arrow a4), and a power supply section 1e for supplying power to the dimming section 1a. As shown in FIG. 2, the case body 1 is provided with rubber feet 1f at the four corners of the bottom surface. Furthermore, the case body 1 is provided at the center front thereof with two vertically elongated insertion holes 1g, through which the blade support portion B is inserted. The cover 1c is removably attached to the case body 1 by a small screw n (arrow a5). As the wall-hanging member Y, a bracket that is generally used when hanging a television on a wall and is configured to be removably attached to a plate provided on the wall is preferably used.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 5, the base part C is provided to cover the opening of the accessory housing space F, and is detachably provided to the case body 1 by a machine screw n (arrow a6). Moreover, the sword information display part D is provided detachably to the case main body 1 by, for example, magnetic adhesion (arrow a7). Furthermore, the opening and closing door 2 is configured so as to be freely openable and closable by rotating about the hinge portion 1b (arrow a8). The case body 1 and the opening / closing door 2 can be stably maintained in the closed state by being configured to be magnetically attachable at the side where the hinge portion 1b is not provided.

[0065] Hereinafter, the blade support portion B will be described in detail with reference to Figs. In Figures 6 and 7, the first sword support part Ba is described in detail, but the second sword support part Bb has the same configuration as the first sword support part Ba except for the protruding length into the exhibition space S (the length of the sword support part main body B1), so its description is omitted.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 6, the first sword support part Ba includes a sword support part main body B1 that comes into contact with the sword K, and a variable mechanism B2 that varies the contact position between the sword K and the sword support part main body B1. FIG. 6(b) is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 6(a).

[0067] The sword support body B1 is provided with a sword support body main part B1a having a generally elongated rod shape, an inclination angle adjustment mechanism B1b for adjusting the inclination angle of the sword K, and a displacement prevention part B1c for preventing the sword K from displacing.

[0068] The inclination angle adjustment mechanism B1b is composed of multiple positioning holes h provided on the tip side of the sword support part main body part B1a along the direction in which the sword support part main body part B1a extends, and a substantially cylindrical stopper member j that is attached to the sword support part main body part B1a by inserting its base end into the positioning hole h (arrow a9).

[0069] As shown by the stopper member j provided at the tip of the main body B1a of the sword support portion, multiple stopper members j can be stacked and their height adjusted by inserting the base end of one stopper member j into a hole provided at the tip of the other stopper member j (arrow a10). This allows the ease of viewing of the sword K by adjusting the height of the stopper member j at the tip end so as not to hinder viewing, and the holding force of the stopper member j on the sword K, to be flexibly adjusted in accordance with the width of the blade of the sword K. In order to adjust the height more flexibly, it is preferable to provide a plurality of stopper members j having different heights as shown in FIG.

[0070] The anti-slip portion B1c is a generally rectangular, flexible plate-like body made of an elastic material, and is positioned with both ends curved between a number of stopper members j attached at intervals in the extension direction of the blade support portion main body main portion B1a (arrow a11). Furthermore, since the anti-slip portion B1c is made of an elastic material, it exerts a high frictional force between the blade K and the anti-slip portion B1c, and effectively prevents the blade K from shifting out of position.

[0071] The variable mechanism B2 is provided with a pair of wheels B2a attached to the base end of the main body B1a of the sword support portion, and a pair of rail portions B2b (see Figure 7) that are installed across the width of the case body 1 and spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0072] The pair of wheels B2a are provided rotatably about an axis in the direction in which the sword support portion main body main portion B1a extends.

[0073] Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line PP' in Fig. 6(a) of the blade support part B supporting the blade K, together with the inside of the case main body 1. Fig. 7(b) is a view showing a state in which the inclination angle of the blade K has been adjusted from that of Fig. 7(a) by the inclination angle adjustment mechanism B1b.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 7, a pair of wheels B2a are attached to a pair of rail portions B2b in such a manner that they are sandwiched between the pair of rail portions B2b, whereby the variable mechanism B2 serves as a sliding mechanism that can slide the blade support portion main body B1 along the width direction.

[0075] Also, by moving the base end side stopper member j to the further rear positioning hole h from FIG. 7(a), as shown in FIG. 7(b), the inclination angle of the knife K becomes larger compared to FIG. 7(a). In this manner, the inclination angle adjustment mechanism B1b is configured to be able to adjust the inclination angle of the sword K by changing the mounting position of the stopper member j using a plurality of positioning holes h.

[0076] The blade support portion B can also be configured as shown in FIG. 7(c). That is, in FIG. 7(c), the sword support part B is not provided with a pair of wheels B2a and a pair of rail parts B2b. The insertion hole 1g has a stepped shape to match the shape of the base end of the blade support portion main body part B1a, and the base end of the blade support portion main body part B1a is fitted into the insertion hole 1g with a slight gap. Furthermore, a small screw n is inserted into the base end of the main body B1a of the sword support portion instead of the rotation axis of the pair of wheels B2a, and the small screw n is screwed into a screw hole m1 of a fixing plate m that is provided to cover the insertion hole 1g from the rear. The screw holes m1 of the fixing plate m communicate with the insertion holes 1g, and a plurality of screw holes m1 are provided across the width.

[0077] This allows the blade support part B to be moved and fixed to any position by appropriately releasing the screw engagement between the small screw n and the screw hole m1, sliding the blade support part B in the width direction, and screwing the small screw n into the other screw hole m1.

[0078] 8 and 9 are diagrams showing installation examples of the case body 1. FIG. Although Figures 8 and 9 show an example in which the blade is displayed as the sword K, the present invention is not limited to this, and the entire sword including the blade and sheath may be displayed, or only the sheath may be displayed.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 8, the case body 1 can be placed on any table or floor surface via rubber legs 1f. The rubber feet 1f are detachably attached to the case body 1 by, for example, magnetic attachment or screw fastening, and when installed in the mode shown in FIG. 9, they can be removed from the case body 1 as appropriate.

[0080] Furthermore, the case body 1 can have a wall-hanging member Y, such as the above-mentioned bracket, attached to the wall-hanging member attachment portion 1d. This allows the case body 1 to be attached to any wall surface via a wall plate (not shown) to which the wall-hanging member Y can be attached, as shown in FIG. 9(a). Furthermore, by attaching support legs Z with casters at their base ends via the wall-hanging member Y, the case body 1 can be made movable along the surface on which it is placed, as shown in Fig. 9(b). Also, by using support legs Z that can be adjusted in height by sliding a pipe or the like, the case body 1 can be freely adjusted to a height that is easy to see. In addition, the support legs Z do not necessarily have to be attached via the wall-hanging member Y, and may be fixed directly to the bottom surface of the case body 1, for example, or the case body 1 may be configured so that only casters serve as the support legs Z.

[0081] According to this embodiment, the lighting unit A includes a blade pattern lighting unit A1 that illuminates the blade pattern of the sword K, so that the blade pattern, which is the part that determines the aesthetic appearance of the sword K, can be sufficiently illuminated, making it possible to display the sword K in an attractive manner.

[0082] In addition, the jigane lighting section A2 can adequately illuminate the jigane, which is as important as the hamon as a highlight of the sword K, in the same way as the hamon, making it possible to display the sword K in an even more attractive way.

[0083] In addition, the dimming unit 1a is configured to allow the hamon illumination unit A1 and the jigane illumination unit A2 to be individually dimmed, so that the balance between the appearance of the hamon and jigane can be freely adjusted depending on the purpose of viewing, etc., thereby improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0084] Furthermore, since the base metal lighting unit A2 is configured to be able to illuminate the entire sword K, the delicate pattern of the base metal that changes over the entire length of the sword K can be clearly seen, making it possible to display the sword K in an even more attractive manner.

[0085] Furthermore, since the blade pattern illumination unit A1 is configured so that the illumination area can be changed, the blade pattern illumination unit A1 can be illuminated at an appropriate position on the blade pattern depending on the purpose of viewing, etc., and the appearance of the blade pattern can be freely adjusted, improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0086] Furthermore, since the case body 1 has the sword support portion B that supports the sword K in the hollow of the exhibition space S, obstructions during viewing are reduced, and the sword K can be displayed as if it is floating.

[0087] Furthermore, since the sword support part B includes a sword support part main body B1 that comes into contact with the sword K, and a variable mechanism B2 that varies the contact point between the sword K and the sword support part main body B1, the sword K can be stably supported in an appropriate position according to the size of the sword K to be displayed, thereby improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0088] Furthermore, since the variable mechanism B2 is a sliding mechanism that varies the contact area by sliding the sword support body along the length of the sword K, the supporting position can be adjusted flexibly and easily, improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0089] Furthermore, since the sword support section B includes an inclination angle adjustment mechanism B1b that adjusts the inclination angle of the sword, the overall appearance of the sword K can be adjusted by changing the inclination angle depending on the purpose of viewing and the way the light from the lighting section A hits it, etc., thereby improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0090] Furthermore, since the sword support portion B includes an anti-slip portion B1c that prevents the sword from slipping, it is possible to stably maintain the display state of the sword K even if, for example, vibrations are applied to the case main body 1.

[0091] In addition, the case body 1 has a base C that forms the bottom surface of the exhibition space S, and the base C is detachably attached to the case body 1. Therefore, by removing the base C as needed and attaching a base C having a different shape or material, it is possible to change the design (appearance) of the case body 1 to suit the object to be exhibited, such as a sword K.

[0092] Furthermore, since the base C includes a decorative surface C1 on its surface, the decorative surface C1 can create the atmosphere of the exhibition space S, and together with the sword K, the entire exhibition space S can present an excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0093] In addition, since the case body 1 has an accessory storage space F for storing accessories for the sword K, it is possible to store surplus equipment that may be left over when the sword K is exhibited, such as certification documents such as an appraisal certificate for the sword K and a plain sheath, thereby making it possible to prevent these items from being lost.

[0094] Furthermore, since the base C is provided to cover the top surface of the accessory storage space F, the accessories can be hidden from the outside, giving the exhibition space S a simple impression and allowing the viewer to concentrate more on the sword K.

[0095] In addition, since the case body has a humidity-control material storage section E that stores humidity-control materials that regulate the humidity of the exhibition space S, it is possible to suppress sudden changes in humidity in the exhibition space S and reduce the impact of humidity changes on the surface condition of the sword K.

[0096] Furthermore, by providing a wall-hanging member Y that allows the case body 1 to be mounted on a wall via the wall-hanging member mounting portion 1d, it becomes possible to effectively utilize the floor space of the exhibition hall while displaying the swords K. Furthermore, it becomes possible to install in a space-saving manner, particularly in small rooms with a small floor area, where it was previously not possible to display swords by placing them on the floor.

[0097] Furthermore, the display case X is provided with support legs Z that enable the case body 1 to be moved along its placement surface via the wall-hanging member Y, making it possible to easily change the display location of the display case X.

[0098] Furthermore, by detachably mounting the sword information display unit D, which displays information about the sword K, on ​​the case body 1, the sword information display unit D can be freely changed to an appropriate one in accordance with changes in the type of sword K being displayed. For example, when multiple display cases X are lined up, even a person who is not familiar with swords can easily see what swords are on display, thereby improving the convenience of the display cases X.

[0099] <Embodiment 2> The display case X according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, compared to the first embodiment, the configuration of the blade support part B is changed to a blade support part B'. In the second embodiment, the components that are basically the same as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be simplified.

[0100] Figure 10 is a diagram for explaining the display case X of this embodiment, where Figure 10(a) is an enlarged oblique view of the sword support part B', and Figure 10(b) is a schematic oblique view of the case body 1 when the sword support part B' is attached.

[0101] The blade support part B' includes a pair of a first blade support part Ba' and a second blade support part Bb' arranged in the width direction. The first blade support part Ba' and the second blade support part Bb' each protrude from the rear side of the case body 1 towards the display space S, and the first blade support part Ba is configured to protrude longer than the second blade support part Bb.

[0102] The first sword support part Ba' will be described in detail below, but the second sword support part Bb' has the same configuration as the first sword support part Ba' except for the different protruding length into the exhibition space S (the length of the sword support part main body B1') and its roughly C-shaped configuration when viewed from the side, so its description will be omitted.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 10(a), the blade support part B' includes a blade support part main body B1' that comes into contact with the blade K, and a variable mechanism B2' that varies the contact portion between the blade K and the blade support part main body B1'.

[0107] By configuring the variable mechanism B2' in this way, the pair of positioning holes B2b' into which the pair of positioning protrusions B2a' are inserted can be appropriately selected, thereby changing the distance between the pair of blade support portions B'.

[0108] FIG. 11 is a front view of the display case X of FIG. 10(b) according to this embodiment. In addition, the opening and closing door 2 is omitted in FIG.

[0109] In the display case X shown in Figure 11, compared to Figure 10 (b), a pair of blade support parts B' are attached to a pair of adjacent inner positioning holes B2b', thereby narrowing the distance between the pair of blade support parts B'.

[0110] The blade support portion B' may also be configured as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 12(a), the blade support portion B' has a pair of screw holes B2c' provided in the rear end surface instead of the pair of positioning projections B2a'. Moreover, the positioning hole B2b' is formed as a through-hole penetrating the case body 1 toward the rear. As a result, as shown in Figure 12 (b), a pair of screw holes B2c' and a pair of positioning holes B2b' are connected, and a small screw n is inserted from the rear of the case body 1 (arrow a12), whereby the small screw n is screwed into the screw hole B2c' via the positioning hole B2b', and the blade support part B' is fixed to the case body 1.

[0111] When it is desired to change the position of the blade support portion B', the machine screws n are released from the screw holes B2c', the pair of screw holes B2c' are connected to another pair of positioning holes B2b', and the machine screws n are screwed into the screw holes B2c'.

[0112] According to this embodiment, the sword support part B' includes a sword support part main body B1' that comes into contact with the sword K, and a variable mechanism B2' that varies the contact point between the sword K and the sword support part main body B1', so that the sword K can be stably supported in an appropriate position according to the size of the sword K to be displayed, thereby improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0113] Furthermore, by detachably attaching the sword support body B1' to the case body 1, the display case X can also be used as a case for displaying items other than the sword K, improving the convenience of the display case X.

[0114] <Embodiment 3> Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the display case X will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, compared with the first and second embodiments, the configurations of the case body 1 and the bare iron illumination part A2 are changed to a case body 1' and a bare iron illumination part A2', respectively. In the third embodiment, the components that are basically the same as those in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be simplified.

[0115] FIG. 13 is a schematic perspective view of the display case X according to this embodiment.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 13, the case body 1' is shorter in width direction and more compact than the case bodies 1 according to the first and second embodiments.

[0117] FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the display case X according to this embodiment, where FIG. 14(a) is a front view and FIG. 14(b) is a plan view seen from the arrow p in FIG. 14(a). In addition, the opening and closing door 2 is omitted in FIG.

[0118] As shown in FIG. 14, compared to the bare iron illumination unit A2 according to the first and second embodiments, the bare iron illumination unit A2' is provided with a spotlight-type bare iron illumination unit main body A2a'. Similarly to the blade pattern illumination part A1, the main body A2a' of the jigetsu illumination part is connected to a bracket A1b by a joint (not shown) whose relative angle is adjustable, and the bracket A1b is attached to the rail part r. Thereby, the bare iron lighting section A2' is configured so that its irradiation direction can be set arbitrarily and it can be slid along the width direction.

[0119] According to this embodiment, it is possible to save space when placing the display case X in an arbitrary location, and it is also possible to manufacture the display case X at lower cost. In this embodiment, the blade support part B may be replaced with the blade support part B', and the configurations described in the first and second embodiments may be adopted. In addition, the lighting colors may be different, such as using white light for the blade pattern lighting part A1 and warm light for the jigane lighting part A2'.

[0120] The shapes and dimensions of the components shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples and can be modified in various ways based on design requirements, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
