[0011] (Embodiment of a stand for audiovisual equipment) An example of an embodiment of a stand for audiovisual equipment (hereinafter simply referred to as "stand") of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, the audiovisual equipment will be described as a music playback equipment X as an example, but the stand of the present invention can also be used as a stand for various audiovisual equipment other than the music playback equipment X.

[0012] The stand of the present invention places a music playback device X (FIG. 3) on it, captures the sound output from the music playback device X, and increases the sound pressure of the sound compared to the sound pressure at the time of capture. In the present application, the music playback device X may be any device that has a music playback function, and includes, for example, a smartphone or a music player.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a stand. As shown in FIG. 1, the stand of this embodiment includes a long main body 10. The main body 10 is made of metal, and can be formed by extruding aluminum, for example. The main body 10 does not have to be long. The main body 10 can also be made of various metals other than aluminum, resins, etc.

[0014] 2(a) and 2(b) are partial cross-sectional views of the main body 10 shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2(a) and 2(b), the main body 10 of this embodiment has a front portion 11, a bottom portion 12, and a rear portion 13. A rear-side partition portion 14 is provided on the front side of the rear portion 13 in parallel with and spaced apart from the rear portion 13.

[0015] A rear-side reinforcement portion 15 is provided between the rear portion 13 and the rear-side partition portion 14. The rear-side reinforcement portion 15 is provided at a position lower than the upper ends of both the rear portion 13 and the rear-side partition portion 14, and in a direction intersecting the rear portion 13 and the rear-side partition portion 14 (in the illustrated example, in a direction perpendicular to them). A mirror installation portion (installation portion) 16 for installing a mirror is formed above the rear-side reinforcement portion 15 and between the rear portion 13 and the rear-side partition portion 14, as an installation portion for installing an item. The rear-side reinforcement portion 15 may be provided as needed, and can be omitted if not required.

[0016] In this embodiment, the mirror mounting section 16 is a long, narrow recess in the left-right direction in a plan view, and the lower end of the mirror can be inserted into this recess to be mounted. The mirror 31 (see Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) inserted into the mirror mounting section 16 can also be fixed inside the mirror mounting section 16 using various adhesive means.

[0017] The shape and structure of the mirror installation section 16 are not limited to the example shown here, but can be changed as appropriate depending on the size, shape, etc. of the mirror 31.

[0018] A front-side reinforcement portion 17 is provided between the rear-side partition portion 14 and the front portion 11. The front-side reinforcement portion 17 is provided at a position lower than the upper ends of both the rear-side partition portion 14 and the front portion 11, and in a direction intersecting the rear-side partition portion 14 and the front portion 11 (in the illustrated example, in a direction perpendicular to them). Above the front-side reinforcement portion 17, between the rear-side partition portion 14 and the front portion 11, a recessed portion 18 that is shallower than the mirror installation portion 16 is formed.

[0019] A protrusion 19 shorter than the rear partition 14 and the front portion 11 is formed at a position near the center of the front-to-rear direction of the front side reinforcement portion 17, and the recessed portion 18 is divided into a front recessed portion 18a on the front side and a rear recessed portion 18b on the rear side.

[0020] A mounting portion 20 for placing the music playback device X is provided in the front-side reinforcing portion 17 at a position closer to one end than the center in the longitudinal direction of the main body 10. The mounting portion 20 may have any structure that allows the music playback device X to be placed thereon, and for example, the mounting portion 20 may be structured so that the music playback device X placed on it stands upright, or may be structured so that the upper end of the music playback device X tilts backward. The mounting portion 20 may also be provided with a recessed portion in which the music playback device X can be placed.

[0021] At the position where the mounting portion 20 is formed, a sound inlet 22 is formed to take in the sound output from the music playback device X into a sound passage 21, which will be described later. The sound inlet 22 is formed in a direction that penetrates the front-side reinforcing portion 17 in the thickness direction (vertical direction).

[0022] A lower space is formed inside the rear partition 14, the front reinforcement 17, the front part 11, and the bottom part 12. A space partition 23 that divides the lower space into two spaces is provided in front of the rear partition 14, and a sound passage 21 through which sound taken in from a sound inlet 22 passes is formed along the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 inside the space partition 23, the front reinforcement 17, the front part 11, and the bottom part 12.

[0023] By forming the sound passage 21 along the longitudinal direction of the main body 10, the device can be installed and used in any place where there is space in the lengthwise direction even if the space in the depth direction is limited.

[0024] In this embodiment, the space partition 23 has an arc shape that curves rearward, but the space partition 23 may have a shape other than an arc, such as a flat shape. The space partition 23 may also have a structure in which its upper end or lower end is connected to the rear-side partition 14.

[0025] The space partition 23 may be provided as needed, and may be omitted if not required. When the space partition 23 is omitted, the sound passage 21 is formed by the front portion 11, the bottom portion 12, the rear partition 14, and the front reinforcing portion 17.

[0026] A sound outlet 24 is provided in the front portion 11 at a position on the front side of the sound passage 21, for emitting sound that has passed through the sound passage 21. The sound outlet 24 is provided at the end side opposite the end side where the mounting portion 20 is provided, with the center of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction as a reference.

[0027] In this embodiment, the width of the sound passage 21 is uniform over the entire length from the sound inlet 22 to the sound outlet 24, but the width of the sound passage 21 can also be configured to gradually increase from the sound inlet 22 toward the sound outlet 24. By configuring the width of the sound passage 21 to gradually increase from the sound inlet 22 toward the sound outlet 24, a sound amplification effect similar to that of a megaphone can be expected.

[0028] In this embodiment, end closures 25 (FIG. 1) that close the sound passage 21 are attached to both longitudinal ends of the main body 10. The end closures 25 are members that prevent sound in the sound passage 21 from leaking out from the openings on the longitudinal end faces of the main body 10. The end closures 25 can be made of a resin material or the like.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the installation unit is provided with a mirror installation unit 16 for installing a mirror, but the installation unit 16 may be used to install an item other than a mirror. In this case, the shape and structure of the installation unit 16 can be designed to suit the item to be installed. The installation unit 16 may be provided as needed, and can be omitted if not required.

[0030] In the above embodiment, a stand having a mounting portion 16 on which an article is to be placed is exemplified, but the stand of the present invention may also have a fixing portion for fixing the stand to an article. The article here includes, for example, a wall, a door, a window, furniture, a home appliance, etc. The fixing portion may be provided instead of or together with the mounting portion.

[0031] The fixing part can be configured as a part of the main body 10 (for example, the back part 13), or can be configured as an adhesive member or the like attached to the main body 10. For example, if a magnet, which is an adhesive member, is attached to the back part 13 of the main body 10 to form the fixing part, the magnet can be fixed to the door of a refrigerator or the like and used.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the sound inlet 22 and the sound outlet 24 are provided at positions offset to the left and right with respect to the center of the longitudinal direction of the main body 10, specifically, the sound inlet 22 is provided at a position closer to one end than the center of the longitudinal direction of the main body 10 (closer to one end than half of the main body 10), and the sound outlet 24 is provided at a position closer to the other end (closer to the other end than half of the main body 10), but the installation positions of the sound inlet 22 and the sound outlet 24 may be other than this. For example, both may be provided in the same direction with respect to the center of the longitudinal direction of the main body 10.

[0033] Although not described in the above embodiment, the stand of the present invention may also be provided with various water protection members (not shown), such as a cover for preventing water from splashing on the music playback device X placed on the mounting portion 20.

[0034] Although not described in the above embodiment, the stand of the present invention may also be provided with a small item holder 26 on which small items are placed or hung. As an example, the small item holder 26 shown in Figures 4(a) and (b) is configured separately from the main body 10, and includes an insertion section 26a that is inserted from an end face of the main body 10 and a storage section 26b on which small items are placed.

[0035] 4(b), the insertion part 26a is annular and has an open end that can be inserted into the sound passage 21 of the main body 10, and has a plurality of through holes 26c in the part exposed from the sound outlet 24. The other end of the insertion part 26a is closed, and this part functions as an end face closing tool 25 that closes the sound passage 21.

[0036] 4(a) and 4(b), the storage section 26b in this embodiment is an L-shaped member in a side view, having a mounting surface 26d and a back surface 26e. An extension installation section 26f that communicates with the mirror installation section 16 is provided on the back side of the mounting surface 26d, and is designed to accommodate part of the mirror 31 that is installed in the mirror installation section 16.

[0037] 5(a) and 5(b), the placing surface 26d may be provided with notches 26g that can hold various items such as toothbrushes, cosmetics, etc. The shape and number of the notches 26g may be designed as appropriate.

[0038] Here, the case where small item holder 26 is configured as a separate entity from main body 10 and connected to main body 10 is taken as an example, but small item holder 26 may be configured as an integral entity with main body 10, in other words, a part of main body 10 may be used as small item holder 26. Also, here, the case where small item holder 26 also functions as end face closing device 25 is taken as an example, but small item holder 26 may also be configured as a separate entity from end face closing device 25.

[0039] Although not described in the above embodiment, the stand of the present invention may be waterproofed or water-repellent, for example, by providing a waterproof or water-repellent film on the stand. By treating the surface of the stand in this manner, it is possible to prevent water droplets from adhering to the stand and water stains resulting from the adhesion of water droplets.

[0040] Although not described in the above embodiment, the stand of the present invention can also be provided with a pull portion (handle portion) 27 for opening and closing the opening and closing door 33 as shown in Figures 7(a) and (b).

[0041] The configuration of the above embodiment is merely an example, and the configuration of the stand of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of this embodiment. The stand of the present invention can be modified, such as by omitting, replacing, or adding components, without changing the gist of the stand. The stand of the present invention can also be modified so that it can be used simply as a stand by omitting the sound inlet 22, sound passage 21, and sound outlet 24.

[0042] Next, the operation of the stand of the present invention will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, when a music playback device X playing music is placed on the mounting portion 20 of the stand of the present invention, the sound output from the music playback device X is taken into the sound passage 21 through the sound inlet 22, passes through the sound passage 21, and is output from the sound outlet 24.

[0043] At this time, the sound output from the music playback device X is taken into the sound path 21 from the sound inlet 22, preventing the sound from spreading outside the sound path 21, and as a result, the sound is concentrated within the sound path 21, making the sound coming out from the sound outlet 24 sound louder. Note that the music playback device X may be placed while playing music, or may be placed and then start playing music.

[0044] (Embodiment of a mirror with a stand) Next, an example of a stand-attached mirror 30 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0045] As an example, a mirror with a stand 30 shown in Figure 6(a) includes a mirror 31 and the stand of the present invention. In this embodiment, a stand is used that includes the mirror mounting portion 16 described in the above embodiment of the stand. The stand has already been described, so its description will be omitted here.

[0046] The mirror 31 has a vertically rectangular shape, and its lower end is accommodated and fixed in the mirror installation section 16 of the stand. Various existing mirrors can be used for the mirror 31.

[0047] The mirror with stand 30 of the present invention can be used as a standalone mirror as shown in Figure 6(a), or as a mirror that forms part of the opening and closing door 33 of the storage section 32 as shown in Figure 6(b). When used as a mirror that forms part of the opening and closing door 33 of the storage section 32 as shown in Figure 6(b), the stand can also be equipped with a handhold 27 as shown in Figures 7(a) and (b).

[0048] In the example shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the mirror 31 is stored in the mirror mounting section 16 of the stand, but if a stand with a fixing section is used instead of a stand with a mirror mounting section 16, the fixing section can also be fixed to the front of the mirror 31.

[0049] In the example shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the stand shown in Figure 1 is used as an example, but a stand equipped with a small item holder 26 such as shown in Figures 4(a) and (b) or Figures 5(a) and (b) can also be used.

[0050] In the stand-equipped mirror 30 of this embodiment, the stand is installed on the lower end side of the mirror 31, and the viewing device placed on the stand is positioned close to eye level, which has the advantage of making it easier to watch videos and the like.

[0051] For example, when applying makeup while watching a makeup video, you can minimize eye movement and look at your face and the video screen at the same time while facing forward. Also, by placing the video screen and mirror side-by-side at eye level, you can smoothly watch the video and check your face and movements in the mirror.

[0052] In addition, for example, when applying makeup while watching a makeup video, massaging your face while watching a facial massage video, or doing facial muscle training while watching a facial muscle training video, you can reduce eye movement and look at your own face and the video screen at the same time while facing forward. Also, by overlapping the video screen and mirror at a height close to eye level, you can smoothly watch the video and check your face and movements in the mirror.

[0053] The configuration of the above embodiment is an example, and the configuration of the stand-equipped mirror 30 of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. The stand-equipped mirror 30 of the present invention can be modified, such as by omitting, replacing, or adding components, as long as the gist of the mirror is not changed.

[0054] (Embodiment of a washbasin with stand) Next, an example of a washstand with a stand 40 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As an example, the washstand with a stand 40 shown in Figures 8(a) and (b) includes a washbowl 41 and a mirror with a stand 30 of the present invention.

[0055] In this embodiment, the stand-equipped mirror 30 shown in Fig. 6(a) is used as the stand-equipped mirror 30. Various existing washbasins can be used as the washbasin 41.

[0056] As shown in Figures 9(a) and 9(b), the stand-equipped washbasin 40 of the present invention can also be constructed using a stand-equipped mirror 30 shown in Figure 6(b) instead of the stand-equipped mirror 30 shown in Figure 6(a).

[0057] The mirror with stand 30 shown in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) has already been described, so its description will be omitted here.

[0058] In the examples shown in Figures 8(a)(b) and 9(a)(b), a stand-equipped mirror 30 having the stand shown in Figure 1 is used as the stand, but as shown in Figures 10(a)(b), a stand (a stand having a small item holder 26) such as those shown in Figures 4(a)(b) and 5(a)(b) can also be used for the stand-equipped mirror 30.

[0059] Figures 8(a)(b) to 10(a)(b) show an example in which the washbasin 41 and the mirror with stand 30 are configured as separate items, but the washbasin with stand 40 of the present invention can also be configured as a washbasin unit in which the washbasin 41 and the mirror with stand 30 are unitized.

[0060] In the above embodiment, an example is given of a washbasin with stand 40 equipped with a washbasin 41 and a mirror with stand 30 of the present invention, but the washbasin with stand 40 of the present invention can also be composed of a washbasin 41, a mirror 31, and a stand of the present invention.

[0061] In this case, the stand can be installed in a position away from the mirror 31, for example, on the wall between the mirror 31 and the washbasin 41 (in the case of a washbasin unit, on the connecting part between the mirror 31 and the washbasin 41). Using a stand that is separate from the mirror 31 has the advantage of increasing the flexibility in installing the stand.

[0062] In the washstand with stand 40 of this embodiment, the stand is installed on the lower end side of the mirror 31, and the viewing device placed on the stand is positioned close to eye level, which has the advantage of making it easier to watch videos, etc.

[0063] For example, when applying makeup while watching a makeup video, you can minimize eye movement and look at your face and the video screen at the same time while facing forward. Also, by placing the video screen and mirror side-by-side at eye level, you can smoothly watch the video and check your face and movements in the mirror.

[0064] In addition, for example, when applying makeup while watching a makeup video, massaging your face while watching a facial massage video, or doing facial muscle training while watching a facial muscle training video, you can reduce eye movement and look at your own face and the video screen at the same time while facing forward. Also, by overlapping the video screen and mirror at a height close to eye level, you can smoothly watch the video and check your face and movements in the mirror.

[0065] The configuration of the above embodiment is an example, and the configuration of the stand-attached washbasin 40 of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. The stand-attached washbasin 40 of the present invention can be modified, such as by omitting, replacing, or adding components, as long as the gist of the present invention is not changed. [Industrial Applicability]

[0066] The stand of the present invention can be used by being attached to a part of a washbasin, or by being fixed to another object such as a wall. The mirror with stand 30 of the present invention can be used by being installed in a bathroom, or as a mirror on a dresser, etc. The washbasin with stand 40 of the present invention can be used as a washbasin installed in the bathroom of various residences, including condominiums and detached houses.
