[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-40645 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, mobile terminals owned by customers are often stored in notebook-style terminal cases. The mobile terminal holder described in Patent Document 1 is designed to hold a mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is not stored in a notebook-style terminal case, so it is necessary to remove the mobile terminal from the terminal case before holding it, which is troublesome.
[0006] Furthermore, most notebook-style terminal cases are provided with a card holder, and when shopping, there is a demand for easy removal of point cards and prepaid cards stored in the card holder.
[0007] The technology disclosed herein has been made in view of such a point, and its object is to provide a portable terminal storage device that can store a portable terminal housed in a notebook-type terminal case without removing it from the terminal case and is highly convenient.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, in the technology disclosed herein, a back wall portion located on the back side of the portable terminal is targeted for a portable terminal storage device having a storage portion for storing the portable terminal, a left side wall portion and a right side wall portion arranged to face each other in the left-right direction, a bottom wall portion provided between the left side wall portion and the right side wall portion, a front wall portion provided so as to face the back wall portion and partially opened so that the screen of the portable terminal is exposed, and an extension portion extending from the back wall portion to one side in the left-right direction when viewed from the front wall portion side. The storage portion is formed by the back wall portion, the left side wall portion, the right side wall portion, the bottom wall portion, and the front wall portion, and the left side wall portion and the right side wall portion at least the wall portion on the side of the extending portion are spaced apart from the back wall portion so that a gap is formed between them and the back wall portion.
[0009] According to this configuration, in a state where the portable terminal is stored in the notebook-type terminal case, the terminal portion of the portable terminal in the terminal case is stored in the storage portion, and the terminal cover portion that covers the portable terminal in the terminal case can be taken out of the storage portion through the gap. Therefore, the portable terminal stored in the notebook-type terminal case can be stored without removing it from the terminal case.
[0010] Further, by supporting the terminal cover portion with the extension portion, it is possible to suppress the terminal cover portion from drooping downward, and it is possible to suppress the cover portion from getting in the way when putting items in a shopping cart basket or the like. Thereby, a highly convenient portable terminal storage device can be obtained.
[0011] In the portable terminal storage device, it may be configured to further include a protruding portion provided on the extending portion and protruding toward the front wall portion side while being separated from the wall portion on one side of the left side wall portion and the right side wall portion.
[0012] According to this configuration, the terminal cover portion of the terminal case can be leaned against the protruding portion. Thereby, the lateral spread of the terminal case can be reduced, and the storage state can be made compact. As a result, it becomes easier to take in and out articles, and the convenience is further improved.
[0013] In one embodiment of the portable terminal storage device, the extending portion is configured to be adjustable in the amount of extension with respect to the back wall portion.
[0014] That is, there are portable terminals of various sizes, and terminal cases also come in various sizes accordingly. Therefore, if the amount of extension of the extending portion with respect to the back wall portion can be adjusted, it is possible to accommodate terminal cases of various sizes.
[0015] In the above embodiment, the extending portion is constituted by a separate member from the back wall portion and is detachable from the back wall portion via a mounting portion provided on the separate member. On the surface of the back wall portion opposite to the front wall portion, a guide pin protruding toward the opposite side is provided, and a plurality of guide holes engaging with the guide pin are formed side by side in the left-right direction in the mounting portion. Such a configuration may also be adopted.
[0016] According to this configuration, even if the extending portion and the back wall portion are separate bodies, it is possible to easily position the extending portion with respect to the back wall portion. Further, since the guide holes are formed side by side in the left and right directions, the amount of extension of the extending portion with respect to the back wall portion can be adjusted by selecting the guide hole to be engaged with the guide pin. Thereby, the convenience is further improved.
Effects of the Invention
[0017] As described above, according to the technology disclosed herein, it is possible to provide a portable terminal storage device that can store a portable terminal housed in a notebook-type terminal case without removing it from the terminal case and that is highly convenient.

[0019] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0020] 1 shows a stand device 100 equipped with a mobile terminal storage device 1 according to this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as terminal storage device 1). The stand device 100 is attached to a shaft-shaped member P such as the handle of a shopping cart or a carrier, with a tablet-type mobile terminal T such as a smartphone stored in the terminal storage device 1.
[0021] The stand device 100 has a support 101 to one end of which the terminal storage device 1 is attached, and a clamper 102 provided at the other end of the support 101 for clamping a shaft-shaped member P such as a handle of a shopping cart or the like.
[0022] The support pillar 101 is provided so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the shaft-shaped member P. The support pillar 101 is formed by welding two steel plates bent into a U-shaped cross section with the U-shaped openings facing each other. Although detailed illustration is omitted, the upper end of the support pillar 101 has a planar portion that extends in the left-right direction and is inclined obliquely upward. The terminal storage device 1 is fastened to this planar portion with screws.
[0023] The clamper 102 is composed of a pair of clamping members 102a connected by a plurality of screws. The pair of clamping members 102a are arranged facing each other in the vertical direction and clamp the shaft-shaped member P in the vertical direction. A fitting groove extending in the left-right direction is formed on the underside of each clamping member 102a. The fitting groove is a groove into which a part of the handle fits and is formed in an arc-shaped cross section. The curvature of the fitting groove is smaller than the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P when the stand device 100 is not attached to the handle. When the stand device 100 is attached to the shaft-shaped member P, the clamping members 102a bend in the direction of fastening the screws, so that the curvature of the fitting groove becomes approximately the same as the curvature of the outer periphery of the shaft-shaped member P.
[0024] Figures 2 to 9 are diagrams showing the structure of the terminal storage device 1. The terminal storage device 1 is formed of resin.

[0027] The upper end portion of the back wall portion 11 extends straight in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper end portion of the back wall portion 11 extends straight in the predetermined direction for the portion on the back side, while for the portion on the front side, it is an upper inclined surface 11a that extends inclined toward the back side toward the top side. The length of the back wall portion 11 in the predetermined direction is set to a length such that when a mobile terminal with a camera is stored in the storage portion 3, the lens of the camera is not covered by the back wall portion 11.
[0028] The left end portion of the back wall portion 11 extends straight in the predetermined direction. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, a left inclined surface 11b inclined toward the back side toward the left is provided at the left end portion of the back wall portion 11.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, a recess 16 for arranging a spring member 30, which will be described later, is provided in a front side portion of the back wall portion 11. A plurality of (here, four) screw insertion holes 17 for inserting screws are formed in the recess 16. Further, a spring engagement hole 18 that engages with a part of the spring member 30 is provided in the recess 16.
[0030] Although details will be described later, a pair of guide pins 19 (see FIG. 11), which serve as guides when attaching the support member 60, are provided at intervals in a predetermined direction in a back side portion of the back wall portion 11.
[0031] The base side right side wall portion 12 is provided with two right side engagement claws 14 that protrude toward the right on the right side surface. The right side engagement claws 14 respectively engage with right side engagement holes 25, which will be described later, of the cover portion 20. The base side right side wall portion 12 is provided with a guide portion 15 that serves as a guide when attaching the cover portion 20 to the base portion 10 in an upper surface side portion.
[0032] Guide grooves 12a, which serve as guides when attaching the cover portion 20 to the base portion 10, are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the right side engagement claws 14 in a predetermined direction between the base side right side wall portion 12 and the back wall portion 11. The guide grooves 12a are grooves into which protrusions 26, which will be described later, of the cover portion 20 are respectively inserted.
[0033] The base side bottom wall portion 13 extends from an end portion on the bottom surface side of the base side right side wall portion 12 along an end portion on the bottom surface side of the back wall portion 11. A plurality of first through holes 13a are formed in the base side bottom wall portion 13. The first through holes 13a are respectively formed near the right end portion and the center in the left - right direction of the base side bottom wall portion 13. These first through holes 13a are hole portions for removing dust to prevent dust from accumulating in the storage portion 3.
[0034] The base side bottom wall portion 13 is provided with a plurality of (here, two) bottom surface side engagement portions 13b. The bottom surface side engagement portions 13b engage with protrusions 27, which will be described later, of the cover portion 20.
[0035] The cover part 20 has a front wall part 21 that extends facing the back wall part 11 in the plane direction, a cover side right side wall part 22 formed to cover the base side right side wall part 12 from the right side, a left side wall part 23 that extends in a predetermined direction parallel to the left end of the back wall part 11, and a cover side bottom wall part 24 formed to cover the base side bottom wall part 13 from the bottom side.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the front wall part 21 has a central part in the left - right direction open in the plane direction. The front wall part 21 has a left front wall part 21a and a right front wall part 21b separated left and right, and a connecting part 21c that connects the left front wall part 21a and the right front wall part 21b. The left front wall part 21a has a stepped shape that protrudes step - by - step to the right toward the bottom side when viewed from the front side. The right front wall part 21b has a stepped shape that protrudes step - by - step to the left toward the bottom side when viewed from the front side. As a result, the left and right front wall parts 21a, 21b have a larger width in the left - right direction at the bottom - side part than at the upper - side part. The connecting part 21c connects the right - side and bottom - side end of the left front wall part 21a and the left - side and bottom - side end of the right front wall part 21b. As a result, the position between the left front wall part 21a and the right front wall part 21b is in a state of being open in the predetermined direction as much as possible. For this reason, even in the case of a mobile terminal T that does not have a home button and in which substantially the entire screen serves as an operation part, it is possible to perform operations with the mobile terminal T stored in the storage part 3.
[0037] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the cover side right side wall part 22 is provided with right - side engaging holes 25 at positions corresponding to the right - side engaging claws 14, respectively. Further, the cover side right side wall part 22 has two protrusions 26 that protrude toward the back side at the positions of the right - side engaging holes 25 in the predetermined direction. Each protrusion 26 is inserted into the guide groove 12a of the base part 10 when the cover part 20 is attached to the base part 10.
[0038] As shown in FIG. 7, the left side wall part 23 extends in the plane direction and the predetermined direction so as to be orthogonal to the left front wall part 21a. The back - side end of the left side wall part 23 is separated from the back wall part 11. That is, a gap S is formed over the entire predetermined direction between the left side wall part 23 and the back wall part 11.
[0039] Although illustration is omitted, a cavity is formed inside the left side wall portion 23, and a reinforcing member made of a metal plate such as an iron plate is inserted into the cavity.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 8, the cover side bottom wall portion 24 has two protrusions 27 that protrude toward the back side. These protrusions 27 are respectively inserted into the bottom surface side engaging portions 13b provided on the base side bottom wall portion 13 when the cover portion 20 is attached to the base portion 10. The cover side bottom wall portion 24 has a second through hole 24a at a position corresponding to the first through hole 13a. Thereby, the storage portion 3 is in a state of communicating with the outside through the first through hole 13a and the second through hole 24a. These second through holes 24a are dust removal holes for suppressing dust from accumulating in the storage portion 3.
[0041] The storage portion 3 is formed by the back wall portion 11, the base side right side wall portion 12, the cover side right side wall portion 22, the left side wall portion 23, the base side bottom wall portion 13, the cover side bottom wall portion 24, and the front wall portion 21 described above.
[0042] Inside the storage portion 3, a spring member 30 that biases the portable terminal T toward the front wall portion 21 is provided in a state where the portable terminal T is stored in the storage portion 3. The spring member 30 is composed of a leaf spring. The spring member 30 is made of a material having a lower rigidity than the exterior of the portable terminal T, and is made of, for example, a resin material.
[0043] The spring member 30 has a fixing portion 31 fixed to the back wall portion 11 and a biasing portion 32 that applies a biasing force to the portable terminal T.
[0044] As shown in Fig. 2, the fixing portion 31 is housed in the recess 16 of the back wall portion 11. With the fixing portion 31 housed in the recess 16, the front surface side of the fixing portion 31 and the front surface side of the back wall portion 11 are flush. As shown in Fig. 4, the fixing portion 31 has screw insertion holes 31a in portions corresponding to the two screw insertion holes 17 on the upper surface side of the back wall portion 11. Each screw insertion hole 31a is also a hole through which a screw is inserted, similar to the screw insertion hole 17. That is, the fixing portion 31 is designed to be fastened together with the back wall portion 11.
[0045] As shown in Figs. 3 and 9, the fixing portion 31 has a bent portion 31b that is bent toward the back side and inserted through the spring engagement hole 18 of the back wall portion 11. When the bent portion 31b engages with the spring engagement hole 18, the bent portion 31b is hooked on the spring engagement hole 18, and the position of the fixing portion 31 is determined. That is, the bent portion 31b and the spring engagement hole 18 facilitate the positioning of the fixing portion 31.
[0046] As shown in Fig. 2, the biasing portion 32 extends obliquely from the end portion on the bottom surface side of the fixing portion 31 toward the front surface side in a state where the fixing portion 31 is fixed to the back wall portion 11. As shown in Figs. 4 and 7, the end portion on the bottom surface side of the biasing portion 32 (hereinafter referred to as the bottom-side end portion) extends obliquely toward the front surface side and the bottom surface side from its left end portion to its right end portion. The minimum value of the gap between the biasing portion 32 and the front wall portion 21, that is, the size of the gap between the right end portion of the bottom-side end portion and the front wall portion 21, is designed to be smaller than the thickness of a general mobile terminal T. The left and right end portions of the bottom-side end portion are processed into an arc shape.
[0047] A tool insertion hole 32a is provided in the biasing portion 32 at a position overlapping with the screw insertion hole 17 of the back wall portion 11 when viewed from the front surface side. This tool insertion hole 32a is slightly larger than the screw insertion hole 31a provided in the fixing portion 31. The tool insertion hole 32a is a hole for facilitating the passage of a tool when attaching the terminal holder 1 to the support column 101. Also, due to the provision of this tool insertion hole 32a, the biasing portion 32 is more likely to bend.
[0048] Here, among the users of the mobile terminal T, there are users who store the mobile terminal T in a notebook-type terminal case 200 (hereinafter simply referred to as the terminal case 200). Therefore, the terminal storage device 1 according to the present embodiment provides a gap between the left side wall portion 23 and the back wall portion 11 so that the mobile terminal T can be stored in the terminal storage device 1 while being stored in the terminal case 200, and has a support member 60 that supports the cover portion (hereinafter referred to as the terminal cover portion 202) of the terminal case 200.
[0049] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 10, the support member 60 is composed of an L-shaped plate member. The support member 60 is separate from the back wall portion 11. The support member 60 is made of resin.
[0050] The support member 60 has an attachment portion 61 that extends straight in the left-right direction and is attached to the back wall portion 11, an extension portion 62 that is continuous with the attachment portion 61 and extends leftward from the back wall portion 11, and a protrusion portion 63 that protrudes from the extension portion 62 toward the front side.
[0051] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the attachment portion 61 has a plurality of holes. The plurality of holes include a plurality (here, six) of hole groups in which three holes are formed side by side in the left-right direction. Specifically, near the center in the left-right direction of the attachment portion 61, on the upper surface side, three hole groups, namely, a first hole group 61a, a second hole group 61b, and a third hole group 61c, are formed in order from the left, and on the bottom surface side, a fourth hole group 61d, a fifth hole group 61e, and a sixth hole group 61f are formed in order from the left. The second hole group 61b is located on the bottom surface side of the first hole group 61a and the third hole group 61c. The fourth hole group 61d, the fifth hole group 61e, and the sixth hole group 61f have the same position in a predetermined direction. Also, the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e have the same position in the left-right direction.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 9, among the six hole groups 61a to 61f, the plurality of holes constituting the first hole group 61a and the third hole group 61c are respectively screw insertion holes corresponding to the two screw insertion holes 17 on the upper surface side of the back wall portion 11. The fourth hole group 61d and the sixth hole group 61f are screw insertion holes corresponding to the two screw insertion holes 17 on the bottom surface side of the back wall portion 11. Screws are inserted into each screw insertion hole in the same manner as in the screw insertion hole 17. That is, the mounting portion 61 is configured to be fastened together with the back wall portion 11.
[0053] The second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e are for positioning the support member 60 with respect to the back wall portion 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, on the surface on the back side of the back wall portion 11, a pair of guide pins 19 protruding toward the back side are provided at intervals in the vertical direction. The left - right positions of the pair of guide pins are the same. As shown in FIG. 9, when the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e are engaged with the pair of guide pins 19, the support member 60 is positioned with respect to the back wall portion 11. Further, when the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e are engaged with the pair of guide pins 19, the four screw insertion holes 17 of the back wall portion 11 and the holes constituting the first hole group 61a, the third hole group 61c, the fourth hole group 61d, and the sixth hole group 61f respectively correspond to each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the central holes of the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e are respectively engaged with the guide pins 19, the central holes of the first hole group 61a, the third hole group 61c, the fourth hole group 61d, and the sixth hole group 61f and the screw insertion holes 17 communicate with each other. On the other hand, when the right - hand side holes of the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e are respectively engaged with the guide pins 19, the right - hand side holes of the first hole group 61a, the third hole group 61c, the fourth hole group 61d, and the sixth hole group 61f and the screw insertion holes 17 communicate with each other. The same applies to the left - hand side holes of the first to sixth hole groups 61a to 61f.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 4, the extending portion 62 extends straight leftward from the left end portion of the back wall portion 11 when viewed from the front side. The extending portion 62 extends to the left of the left side wall portion 23. The extending amount of the extending portion 62 with respect to the back wall portion 11 is configured to be adjustable. The extending amount of the extending portion 62 with respect to the back wall portion 11 is adjusted by the second hole group 61b, the fifth hole group 61e, and the guide pins 19. In other words, the extending amount of the extending portion 62 with respect to the back wall portion 11 is changed depending on which hole among the holes constituting the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e is engaged with the guide pin 19. Specifically, when the leftmost hole among the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e is engaged with each guide pin 19, the extending amount of the extending portion 62 is minimized, and when the rightmost hole among the second hole group 61b and the fifth hole group 61e is engaged with each guide pin 19, the extending amount of the extending portion 62 is maximized.
[0055] The protruding portion 63 is formed at the left end portion of the extending portion 62. The protruding portion 63 is integral with the extending portion 62. The protruding portion 63 protrudes forward in a state of being separated from the left side wall portion 23. The protruding portion 63 extends parallel to the left side wall portion 23. As shown in FIG. 5, when viewed in the left-right direction, the front edge of the protruding portion 63 has a rounded curved shape. The front edge of the protruding portion 63 is processed into a curved surface so that there is no edge at the front edge.
[0056] Figs. 12 and 13 show an example of use of the terminal storage device 1. The mobile terminal T is in a state of being stored in the notebook-type terminal case 200. In the terminal storage device 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the terminal case 200 can be stored in the terminal storage device 1 with the case open. The portion of the notebook-type terminal case 200 where the mobile terminal T is stored (hereinafter referred to as the terminal portion 201) is stored in the storage portion 3, and the terminal cover portion 202 of the terminal case 200 is located outside the storage portion 3 via the gap S. Then, the terminal cover portion 202 is leaned against the protruding portion 63 and supported by the support member 60. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the terminal cover portion 202 from hanging down from the terminal storage device 1. Further, in order to facilitate visual recognition of the inside of the terminal cover portion 202, when a card holder is provided on the terminal cover portion 202, it is easy to take out cards (such as a point card and a prepaid card) from the card holder.
[0057] Therefore, the terminal storage device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a back wall portion 11 located on the back side of the mobile terminal T, a left side wall portion 23 and right side wall portions 12, 22 arranged to face each other in the left-right direction, bottom wall portions 13, 24 provided between the left side wall portion 23 and the right side wall portions 12, 22, a front wall portion 21 provided to face the back wall portion 11 and partially opened so that the screen of the mobile terminal T is exposed, and an extension portion 62 extending from the back wall portion 11 to one side in the left-right direction when viewed from the front wall portion 21 side. The storage portion 3 is formed by the back wall portion 11, the left side wall portion 23, the right side wall portions 12, 22, the bottom wall portions 13, 24, and the front wall portion 21. The left side wall portion 23 is spaced apart from the back wall portion 11 so that a gap S is formed between the left side wall portion 23 and the back wall portion 11. Thereby, with the mobile terminal T stored in the notebook-type terminal case 200, the terminal portion 201 in the terminal case 200 can be stored in the storage portion 3, and the terminal cover portion 202 in the terminal case 200 can be taken out of the storage portion 3 via the gap S. Therefore, the mobile terminal T stored in the terminal case 200 can be stored without removing it from the terminal case 200.
[0058] Furthermore, by supporting the terminal cover part 202 on the extension part 62, it is possible to prevent the terminal cover part 202 from drooping downward, and to prevent the terminal cover part 202 from getting in the way when putting items into a shopping cart or the like. Also, since the visibility of the inside of the terminal cover part 202 is improved, when a cart holder is provided on the terminal cover part 202, it becomes easier to remove a card from the card holder. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience.
[0059] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal storage tool 1 includes a protruding portion 63 that is provided on the extending portion 62 and protrudes toward the front side while being spaced apart from the left side wall portion 23. The terminal cover portion 202 of the terminal case 200 can be leaned against the protruding portion 63. This reduces the left and right expansion of the terminal case 200, allowing the storage state to be made compact. This makes it easier to take items in and out, further improving convenience.
[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, the extension portion 62 is configured so that the amount of extension from the back wall portion 11 is adjustable. This makes it possible to accommodate terminal cases of various sizes, further improving convenience.
[0061] In particular, in this embodiment, the extension portion 62 is formed of a support member 60 separate from the back wall portion 11 and is detachable from the back wall portion 11 via an attachment portion 61 provided on the support member 60. A guide pin 19 protruding toward the back side is provided on the back side of the back wall portion 11, and the attachment portion 61 is provided with a second hole group 61b and a fifth hole group 61e, each of which is composed of a plurality of holes aligned in the left-right direction and engages with the guide pin 19. This makes it easy to position the extension portion 62 relative to the back wall portion 11, even if the extension portion 62 and the back wall portion 11 are separate members. Furthermore, because the holes that engage with the guide pins 19 are aligned left and right, the amount of extension of the extension portion 62 relative to the back wall portion 11 can be adjusted by selecting the hole to engage with the guide pin 19. This further improves convenience.
[0062] Further, in the present embodiment, a spring member 30 is provided on the back wall portion 11 to urge the mobile terminal T stored in the storage portion 3 toward the front wall portion 21. As a result, when the mobile terminal T is stored together with the terminal case 200, the terminal portion 201 of the terminal case 200 is pressed against the front wall portion 21 by the urging force of the spring member 30. Thereby, the spring member 30 and the front wall portion 21 sandwich the terminal portion 201 together with the mobile terminal T, and the mobile terminal T can be held.
[0063] (Other Embodiments) The technology disclosed herein is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, and substitutions are possible without departing from the gist of the claims.
[0064] For example, in the foregoing embodiment, the support member 60 was provided with the protruding portion 63. However, this is not the only case, and the protruding portion 63 may be omitted.
[0065] Further, in the foregoing embodiment, the extending portion 62 was constituted by the support member 60 which is a separate member from the back wall portion 11. However, this is not the only case, and the extending portion 62 and the back wall portion 11 may be constituted by a single member.
[0066] Further, in the foregoing embodiment, the gap S was formed between the left side wall portion 23 and the back wall portion 11. However, this is not the only case, and the gap S may not be formed on the left side, and the gap S may be formed between the right side wall portions 12, 22 and the back wall portion 11, or the gap S may be formed on both the left and right sides. In this case, it is preferable to form the gap S only in the cover portion 20 without dividing the right side wall portion into the base portion 10 and the cover portion 20. Further, when providing the gap S on the right side, the extending portion 62 and the protruding portion 63 may be positioned on the right side of the back wall portion 11.
[0067] Further, in the foregoing embodiment, the case where the stand device 100 is attached to the axially extending member P in the horizontal direction has been described. However, this is not the only case, and the stand device 100 may be configured to be attached to an axially extending member in the vertical direction. In this case, the arrangement of the support column 101 and the clamp 102 is changed.
[0068] The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, and all modifications and changes belonging to the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present disclosure.
