Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information recording medium stand capable of supporting an information recording medium on which predetermined information is displayed and / or recorded. [Background Art]

[0002] There are various types of information recording media, including paper media and electronic media. On the other hand, in recent years, for certificates, while retaining the function as a conventional document (paper medium) that allows the described items to be visually recognized, there have been an increasing number of cases where separately recorded information (data) of the described items can be read from the outside, and such information is utilized for accelerating procedures requiring certificates. Examples of methods for coexisting such readable information with a document include issuing the document as an IC card, and providing a paper document with an RF tag attached (an electronic medium).

[0003] In order to read information recorded on an IC card that is a document or an RF tag attached to a document, and conversely write information thereto, a reader-writer compatible with such IC cards or RF tags is used.

[0004] A conventional reader-writer can correctly read or write information by placing the IC card or RF tag within the communicable range of the reader-writer, such as by overlapping the IC card or RF tag on the reader-writer. An example of such a conventional reader-writer is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-113727. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-113727 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0006] Conventional reader / writers have the configuration shown in the aforementioned patent document and are miniaturized to be close in size to an IC card in order to be compatible with general IC cards. Therefore, in the case of documents that are larger than IC card size and larger than the reader / writer, such as documents with RF tags attached to paper documents, it was difficult to align the document so that the RF tag could be read and written by the reader / writer with conventional reader / writers, and there was a risk that the RF tag on the document and the reading / writing part of the reader / writer would be misaligned. If these were to be misaligned, the reader / writer would In addition to being unable to correctly read recorded information, the system had the problem that write operations, even when performed under unstable read / write conditions, would fail midway, leading to the corruption of recorded information in the RF tag.

[0007] Furthermore, since RF tags in documents are usually small compared to the overall size of the paper document, if the location of the RF tag is not clearly indicated on the document, or if the user is unaware of the RF tag's location in advance, it is expected that it may take time for the reader / writer to correctly align the RF tag.

[0008] In addition, when a designated worker wanted to view the contents of a document, for example, to verify that the electronic information recorded on the document matched the printed information, the small size of the reader / writer presented a challenge: it was difficult to ensure that the reader / writer could read and write the electronic information while simultaneously keeping the document in a state where its contents were easily visible.

[0009] The present invention was made to solve the aforementioned problems and aims to provide a stand for an information recording medium that can properly support and handle the information recording medium. Furthermore, in the case where the information recording medium is a document on which an RF tag is placed, the present invention aims to provide a stand for an information recording medium that can properly set the positional relationship between the RF tag and the reader / writer so that information can be reliably read and written by the reader / writer. [Means for solving the problem]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] (First embodiment of the present invention) Hereinafter, an information recording medium stand according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on Figures 1 to 20. In this embodiment, an example of a stand that handles an information recording medium, for example, a stand that can support a vehicle inspection certificate (vehicle registration certificate) as an information recording medium will be described.

[0024] In the figures above, the information recording medium stand 1 according to this embodiment is configured to include a support base 10 capable of supporting the information recording medium in a predetermined restrained state. Furthermore, if the information recording medium is a document 50 with an RF tag 52, a reader / writer 20 is provided, enabling reading and writing of information recorded on the RF tag 52.

[0025] The document (information recording medium) 50 supported by the information recording medium stand 1 according to this embodiment consists of a sheet body with an RF tag integrally attached. More specifically, it is a sheet body, or base 51, on which predetermined information is visibly written, with an RF tag 52 integrally attached that records information related to the information written on the base 51. Specifically, this document (information recording medium) 50 is a vehicle inspection certificate equipped with an RF tag 52 as an electronically compatible specification. Examples of predetermined information include strings of characters, numbers, images, charts, two-dimensional codes, etc. The information recording medium on which this predetermined information is displayed and / or recorded may be paper or electronic, and examples include photographs, calendars, cards, postcards, booklets, digital photo frames, smartphones, tablets, and mobile information terminals.

[0026] The support base 10 comprises a plate-shaped main panel portion 11 having a predetermined additional functional portion, a plate-shaped front panel portion 12 disposed between the main panel portion 11 and the front panel portion 12 with a predetermined gap (space) 19 interposed therebetween, leg portions 13 protruding from the main panel portion 11, a storage portion 14 for housing the reader / writer 20, and a storage portion 17 capable of housing a predetermined object to be stored (object to be stored).

[0027] The support base 10 is located at the end of the main panel section 11 that is close to the leg section 13, and at the main panel section of the leg section 13. The end furthest from the flannel section 11 is attached to the mounting surface 90 on which the support base 10 is to be installed. The mechanism involves contacting and installing the support base 10 to the main panel section 1. It is able to stand on its own in an inclined position. And it is in a state of being installed on the mounting surface 90. The support base 10 can restrain and support the documents 50 between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. This support base 10 holds the documents 50 in the gap between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. By positioning and supporting the document 50 in space 19, the document 50 is less susceptible to the effects of wind, etc., and the document 50 is supported It is easy to maintain in its original condition, and it prevents dust and dirt from accumulating on the documents 50, keeping the documents 50 clean. It can be kept in a clean state.

[0028] The main panel 11 is made of plastic such as acrylic resin (PMMA) or polypropylene (PP) and has a color that does not transmit much light (for example, white or milky white), and is configured as a plate-like body with a roughly rectangular shape. The plastic material forming the main panel 11 may also be acrylic resin (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), etc. When the main panel 11 is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, it is held with its long side facing sideways, so that it does not easily move on the mounting surface 90 and can support the documents 50 from the back side. In addition to its primary function of supporting the documents 50, the main panel section 11 is equipped with multiple additional function sections, as described later, to provide a configuration with multiple functions.

[0029] The main panel section 11 has a front panel section 12 on one side of it, and the opposite side of this one side The configuration includes the legs 13, the storage section 14, and the storage section 17, which are arranged on the other side of the structure. The reader / writer 20 can be inserted into and removed from the storage compartment 14 on the other side of the main panel 11. It is incorporated into Noh theater.

[0030] The main panel section 11 is the end on one side that is closer to the leg section 13, in other words, the support base 10 In the installed state, the front panel is located on one of the longer sides of the main panel section 11 that is closer to the installation surface 90. A bottom plate portion 11a is provided that protrudes toward the tubular portion 12. Here, two bottom plate portions 11a are arranged side by side at a predetermined interval, creating an opening 11b in between.

[0031] Furthermore, support shafts 11c are provided at two locations on one of the long sides of the main panel section 11 to support the front panel section 12 in a tiltable manner. And at a predetermined location on the underside of the bottom plate section 11a located near the support shafts 11c, the tilt of the front panel section 12 relative to the main panel section 11 A movement restricting portion 11d is provided to limit movement of the front panel portion 12 other than tilting during operation, for example, displacement of the front panel portion 12 in a direction perpendicular to the support axis 11c. The movement restricting portion 11d is formed in a rib shape with a curved (mountain-shaped) front end surface, and is configured so that even if the vicinity of the lower end of the front panel portion 12 comes into contact with the movement restricting portion 11d when the front panel portion 12 is tilting, it does not hinder the tilting of the front panel portion 12. Furthermore, the movement restricting portion 11d can be formed integrally with the bottom plate portion 11a. In this case, it is preferable that the tip surface of the bottom plate portion 11a and the front end surface of the movement restricting portion 11d are formed continuously.

[0032] Parts of the front panel 12 are inserted into both sides of one side of the main panel 11. In this way, the sides of the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11 are securely closed. The vertical groove 11e engages with another part of the front panel 12, thereby the front panel 12 Each of the following is provided: an engagement hole 11f for holding the main panel portion 11 in place so as not to move. It is possible.

[0033] In the main panel portion 11, the vertical groove portion 11e on one side and the vertical groove portion 11e on the other side The spacing between these, along with a portion of the front panel section 12 that is inserted into them, is used as a recording medium for information. The horizontal dimension is set to be greater than or equal to that of class 50, and the gap 19 between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11 is It is sized to comfortably support and allow easy access to 50 documents.

[0034] The main panel section 11 is in the state of being installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, and the front of the main panel section 11 is The part that is located in the center of the top when viewed from the side is designated as a notched section 11g, which has a partially cut-out shape. These notches are not limited to the center, but are located closer to one side of the main panel. It is acceptable if it is present. Front view of the main panel portion 11, including the portion facing this notch 11g. Each corner section, which forms part of the outer casing, is rounded by chamfering. Furthermore, each corner of this main panel section 11 may be chamfered.

[0035] Furthermore, the intersection of one surface of the main panel portion 11 and the end surfaces in each direction (up and down and left and right directions) The corners can also be rounded or chamfered, especially the notched portion 11g The corner where the end face (the upper end face in the installed state) intersects with the aforementioned face is chamfered. Then, move the document 50 from top to bottom between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. When supporting the document, the document 50 abuts against the upper end surface of the main panel 11, preventing it from moving. This makes it less likely for the document 50 to be supported between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, and it is easy to maintain this position. It can be moved to the next step. Also, when removing the document 50 upwards, it is possible to prevent the document 50 from being pressed against the corners and thus preventing bending or deformation of the document 50. Furthermore, when removing the document 50, even if the document 50 is grasped with fingers at the position of the chamfered part of the notch 11g or at a position below the chamfered part, the document 50 can be smoothly removed by tracing the chamfered part of the notch 11g with the fingers.

[0036] Furthermore, with document 50 supported between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11, The upper end of 0 is the chamfered portion at the upper end of the main panel portion 11, as viewed from the front side of the main panel portion 11. The document is positioned at or above the lower end of the section, making it easy to grasp the document 50 with your fingers when removing it.

[0037] The area surrounding the notch 11g in the main panel 11 can be used as a gripping portion. For example, when inserting or removing the reader / writer 20 into the housing section 14 of the support base 10, a notch is made. Insert a part of your hand (such as a finger) into the notched section 11g, and use the area around this notched section 11g as a handhold. By gripping the support base 10, even if an external force is applied, the support base 10 will not slip or move from your hand. This is not the case; the support 10 can be supported by hand in a way that prevents it from easily moving, and the leader This will allow for smooth insertion and removal of the Writer 20.

[0038] Furthermore, the central part of the support base 10 with the notch 11g of the main panel 11 can also be used as a place to easily bundle the cable 22 of the reader / writer 20, which will be described later. If notches are also provided at the bottom of the main panel 11 and the front panel 12, the wrapped cable 22 will not easily slip outside the notch when wrapped, similar to the upper notch 11g, and the cable can be bundled compactly. The notches provided at the bottom of the main panel 11 and the front panel 12 should be provided within the range where the notch 11g is provided.

[0039] On the upper part of one side of the main panel 11, as shown in Figures 1 and 12, the brand logo It is also possible to form a display section 11h of characters and symbols, such as a guide for inserting documents. The display section 11h, for example, has characters around the characters indicating each support position of the document 50 or the IC card 60. If symbols such as arrows indicating the insertion direction of type 50 or IC card 60 are placed on it, then it can be used. This is preferable as it will have the function of a guide.

[0040] The display section 11h has no steps or surface differences between the area corresponding to characters or symbols and the surrounding area. By adding variations in shape and other characteristics, it becomes possible to easily distinguish between characters and symbols. For example, the area of ​​the character in the display unit 11h is made into a smooth surface, while the area around the character is made into a smooth surface. By creating a textured surface, characters can be formed in a way that makes them identifiable. In addition, one side of the main panel portion 11 By making the parts other than the display section 11h a smooth surface, the display section 11h is made to stand out even more. It is possible.

[0041] Depending on the color of the main panel 11, the characters and symbols formed on the display area may be difficult to see. This can also occur. Even in such cases, the area of ​​the character or symbol is raised relative to the surrounding area. Forming it in a raised state ensures identifiability, which is preferable. For example, display section 11h In relation to the character area, the area around the character, which has a textured surface, is made into a recess, and the character area By making it relatively convex, the legibility of the characters can be further improved.

[0042] In addition, the main panel section 11 supports the RF tag 52 when the document 50 is supported on the support base 10. In a designated location that overlaps with the position of document 50, an IC card 6 different from document 50 is provided as one of the additional functional parts. Supporting 0, the reader / writer 20 reads information from this IC card 60 and information The configuration includes a card support section 11i that enables the writing of data.

[0043] The card support portion 11i is a recessed area 11k formed by recessing a predetermined area adjacent to one of the short sides (sides) of the main panel portion 11 on one surface of the main panel portion 11 toward the other surface of the main panel portion 11 (see Figures 6, 8, and 20). The position of the IC card 60 housed in the recessed area 11k forming the card support portion 11i is set to overlap with the location of the RF tag 52 of the document 50 when it is supported by the support base 10.

[0044] As a result, the card support unit 11i receives the IC card 60 and the information from the reader / writer 20. Supports enabling reading and writing of information to this IC card 60. can.

[0045] This card is supported by the card support section 11i and is the target of information reading and writing by the reader / writer 20. The IC card 60 is, for example, an IC card type driver's license or My Number Card (Individual Number Card). This corresponds to "ID-1" in the ISO / IEC 7810 standard for cards such as barcodes.

[0046] The card support portion 11i has protrusions 11j on the front side of the upper and lower edges of the recessed portion 11k. These protrusions 11j partially protrude in a roughly claw shape from the edge toward the recessed portion 11k and are provided in a direction parallel to the long side of the main panel portion 11 (along the long side). These protrusions 11j are a mechanism that restrains the IC card 60 housed in the card support portion 11i so that it does not come out of the recessed portion 11k toward the front side of the card support portion 11i.

[0047] The movement restriction by the protrusion 11j of the card support portion 11i allows the IC card 60 to be inserted into and removed from the card support portion 11i in the same direction as the long side of the main panel portion 11, with its longitudinal direction aligned with the long side of the main panel portion 11. In other words, when the IC card 60 is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, it is inserted into and removed from the card support portion 11i in a lateral direction, unlike the insertion and removal direction of the document 50. The protrusion 11j may be provided one or more times on the upper and / or lower edge of the recess portion 11k. Furthermore, by providing the protrusion 11j closer to one of the short sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11 than the left-right center of the recess portion 11k, when inserting the IC card 60 into the recess portion 11k of the card support portion 11i, the IC card 60 can be smoothly guided into the left edge of the recess portion 11k by being gripped by the protrusion 11j.

[0048] The entrance / exit of the card support portion 11i in the main panel portion 11 is positioned along one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11. However, the range of the recess portion 11k forming the card support portion 11i from one of the shorter sides of the main panel portion 11 (the left-right dimension of the recess portion 11k, and the distance between the entrance / exit of the card support portion 11i in the recess portion 11k and the end opposite to the entrance / exit) is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the IC card 60. Therefore, the IC When the card 60 is placed inside, the IC card 60 will have one of its shorter ends positioned outside the card support portion 11i, so that it protrudes from the main panel portion 11. Specifically, when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the end of the main panel portion 11 that is positioned to the right when viewed from the front side will protrude. The IC card 60 housed in the card support section 11i has a portion of it that protrudes laterally from one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11, which is the right side when viewed from the front of the main panel section 11.

[0049] In this way, a portion of the IC card 60 protrudes from the main panel 11 even when it is stored, making it easier to grasp the IC card 60 with your fingers and facilitating insertion and removal of the IC card 60 from the card support section 11i. Furthermore, by providing a notch on the right side of the front panel 12, more specifically, in the area facing the recessed portion 11k of the front panel 12, the IC card 60 can be made even easier to grasp with your fingers.

[0050] Furthermore, of the recessed portion 11k that forms the card support portion 11i, the portion near the entrance / exit of the card support portion 11i, in other words, the predetermined range portion closer to one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11, has a sloping structure in which the recess becomes shallower as it approaches one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11.

[0051] This inclined portion is provided from one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11 to a position beyond the vertical groove portion 11e, and when the IC card 60 is inserted into the card support portion 11i while aligning it with this inclination, the IC card 60 can be positioned to rest directly against the bottom of the recess portion 11k that forms the card support portion 11i. The mechanism ensures that the IC card 60 is positioned smoothly on the back side of the protrusion 11j of the card support portion 11i, thereby reliably securing it to the protrusion 11j. The inclined structure may also consist of multiple consecutive inclinations of different types.

[0052] Furthermore, the opening and closing portion of the card support portion 11i in the main panel portion 11 is designed to widen vertically towards one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11, in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of the IC card 60.

[0053] This expanded portion extends from one of the shorter sides (right side) of the main panel portion 11 beyond the vertical groove portion 11e, guiding the IC card 60 towards the center of the card support portion 11i even if there is a slight misalignment in the insertion position or direction of the IC card 60, allowing it to be inserted into the card support portion 11i without any problems. This is done so that the inclined region in an inclined structure and the expanded region in an expanded shape can be different, but making them the same makes it easier to recognize both regions.

[0054] The front panel portion 12 is made of a transparent or translucent plastic such as acrylic resin (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), or polystyrene (PS), through which the contents of the document 50 can be seen, and is formed as a rectangular plate-like body. The plastic material forming the front panel portion 12 may also be acrylic resin (PMMA) or polypropylene (PP). The main panel portion 11 and the front panel portion 12 may be formed from the same plastic material as described above.

[0055] The front panel section 12 is smaller in shape than the main panel section 11, particularly in terms of its shorter side relative to the main panel section 11. It is formed as a rectangle in which the ratio of the size in one direction is smaller than the ratio of the size in the direction of the longer side. Therefore, a predetermined gap 19 is interposed between the main panel portion 11 and the side of the main panel portion 11. It is installed in such a manner.

[0056] The front panel section 12 has one long side that is connected to one long side of the main panel section 11, specifically the support The mounting base 10 is positioned near the longer side that is closest to the mounting surface 90 when it is installed. And the front panel section 12 has two ends on one of its longer sides, and the main panel section 11 has two ends. It has two hook portions 12a that are detachably engaged with the provided support shaft 11c. These hook portions 12a engage with the main panel portion 11 in a manner that allows them to rotate around the support shaft 11c. Together with the support shaft 11c, it forms a hinge mechanism, and the front panel portion 12 tilts relative to the main panel portion 11. This makes it possible. The engagement of this hook portion 12a and the support shaft 11c allows the front panel Section 12, as one of the auxiliary functions related to the handling of documents 50, consists of the front panel section 12 and the main panel. The gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11 can be opened by tilting the front panel 12 relative to the main panel 11. This is a structure typical of Noh theater.

[0057] Furthermore, the front panel section 12 has side plates 12b protruding from both ends in the direction of the long side, i.e., from the ends on the short side. The front panel section 12 secures a gap 19 between itself and the main panel section 11 by positioning the protruding side plates 12b between them. While the gap 19 is secured with the top open by providing side plates 12b at both the left and right ends of the front panel section 12, it is also possible to secure a gap with the left or right side open by providing upper and lower plates at both the upper and lower ends of the front panel section 12, allowing documents 50 to be inserted and removed from the left or right.

[0058] When the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the upper part of the side plate 12b is located above the other long side of the front panel portion 12, and is shaped to taper towards the top. Chamfers are provided at each corner where the inner and outer surfaces of the side plate 12b intersect with the end faces in each direction. Furthermore, a locking piece 12c is provided on the upper part of the side plate 12b, which protrudes further from the side plate 12b and is capable of engaging with the engagement hole 11f of the main panel portion 11.

[0059] The upper end of the side plate 12b is positioned to approximately coincide with the lower end of the chamfered portion on the upper surface of the main panel 11. By making the tapered upper part of the side plate 12b continuous with the chamfered portion of the main panel 11, when supporting documents 50 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, even if the documents 50 hit the upper part of the side plate 12b, it is possible to facilitate the movement of the documents 50 into the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, similar to the chamfered portion of the main panel 11, and smoothly transition the documents 50 to a supported state. The upper end of the side plate 12b may also be positioned below the lower end of the chamfered portion on the upper end of the main panel 11.

[0060] The side panel 12b has an end portion near the main panel portion that is part of the vertical grooves provided on both sides of the main panel portion 11. By being inserted into part 11e, the gap 19 between the side plate 12b and the main panel part 11 allows outside passage. No opening is created, and the side of the gap 19 is kept closed, and the side plate 12b and the main panel This prevents the document 50 from getting stuck between section 11 and the other section, and prevents it from accidentally getting stuck. This prevents deviations from the correct support state for type 50.

[0061] Furthermore, at the end of the side plate 12b, the portion facing the recessed portion 11k that forms the card support portion 11i of the main panel portion 11 is designed to allow a gap for the IC card 60 to pass through so as not to obstruct the insertion of the IC card 60 into the card support portion 11i, while ensuring that no excessive gap is created between the IC card 60 and the side plate 12b when the IC card 60 is supported by the card support portion 11i (see Figures 6 and 8). The opening created as a gap between the end of the side plate 12b and the card support portion 11i becomes the insertion opening for the IC card 60 when it is inserted into the card support portion 11i. The end of the side plate 12b facing the card support portion 11i also serves to hold the IC card 60 in place from the front, preventing it from moving from its correctly supported position on the card support portion 11i, in the event that a protrusion 11j for restraining the IC card 60 is not provided on the card support portion 11i.

[0062] The side plate 12b has a locking piece 12c protruding from its upper part, which engages with the engagement hole 11 of the main panel portion 11. By inserting and engaging it with f, the front panel portion 12 is made immobile relative to the main panel portion 11. It can be held. However, the locking piece 12c is receptive to and receptive to the engagement hole 11f, and the locking piece 1 By disengaging 2c from the engagement hole 11f and removing the locking piece 12c, the front panel portion 12 The main panel section 11 can be moved to a state where it can be tilted relative to it.

[0063] As shown in Figure 19, the locking piece 12c of the side plate 12b has a claw-shaped projection that extends laterally from its tip. The locking piece 12c is positioned horizontally in the engagement hole 11f, which has a rectangular hole shape that is wider horizontally than the vertical groove 11e. By bending it, it is passed through, and this claw-shaped portion is placed on the edge of the engagement hole 11f of the main panel portion 11. It is designed to hook and engage with something. However, it is not limited to this, for example If the locking piece is shaped such that its tip has a portion that protrudes in the vertical direction, it engages The opening portion is provided with an expanded portion at its side end that allows the tip of the locking piece to pass through. The locking piece is bent laterally relative to the engagement hole, and the tip of the locking piece is passed through the upper and lower expanded portions of the engagement hole. Then, hook the tip of the locking piece onto the upper and lower edges of the part of the engagement hole that is not the upper and lower expanded portion. It can also be designed as a mechanism to engage with each other.

[0064] The gap 19 between the front panel portion 12 and the main panel portion 11 is provided by the locking piece 1 of the front panel portion 12. When 2c is engaged with the engagement hole 11f of the main panel 11, the side plate 12b and the bottom plate The sides and bottom are closed by section 11a, leaving only the top open. In this way, the documents 50 are inserted from above into the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11. It is possible to insert and remove it from above, and a method for further insertion of documents 50 inserted into the gap 19. Movement in the forward direction is restricted by the bottom plate 11a, and the lateral movement of the documents 50 is restricted by the side plate 12b. To control this, the document 50 is positioned in the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11. It is a system that can be supported.

[0065] The document 50, located between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, is taken out by the user. Except for moving vertically in response to the insertion operation, the main panel section 11 surrounding the document 50 The front panel 12, side plate 12b, and bottom plate 11a allow for easy movement in directions other than upwards. It is supported in a restrained state between the front panel portion 12 and the main panel portion 11 so as not to be affected. This is the result. Furthermore, if something other than documents is accidentally placed in the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, Even if something, such as small pieces of trash or water, gets inside, these are contained in the middle of the bottom plate portion 11a. It can be removed from the opening 11b located there, and the support of the document 50 is maintained without any obstruction. It's easy.

[0066] Furthermore, the front panel portion 12 is inserted into the gap 19 at a predetermined location on the surface facing the main panel portion 11. The inserted documents 50 are moved towards the main panel section 11, and the bottom plate section 11a of the main panel section 11 is also moved. A protrusion 12d prevents the end of the document 50 from entering the space between the edge and the front panel 12, and the main panel It is configured to protrude toward section 11.

[0067] In detail, the protrusion 12d is on the surface of the front panel portion 12 facing the main panel portion 11, A predetermined location closer to the hook portion 12a than the center position in the short-side direction of the front panel portion 12, Preferably, the location is just above the part of the main panel 11 that faces the tip of the bottom plate 11a (Figure 1 (See 7) The configuration is such that it is provided continuously for a predetermined length in a direction parallel to the long side of the front panel portion 12. (See Figure 10).

[0068] This protrusion 12d covers the tip of the bottom plate portion 11a of the main panel portion 11 from above, and this bottom plate portion Even if there is a gap between the tip of 11a and the front panel part 12, the document 50 will reach there. This can be prevented. In this way, document 50 is at the tip of the bottom plate portion 11a of the main panel portion 11. By preventing it from getting stuck between the front panel 12, the lower end of the document 50 can slip out through the gap 19. This prevents documents from falling and securely holds them in the gap 19, allowing for proper placement. - The RF tag 52 of document 50 is read and written by the RF writer 20, and information on document 50 This will enable stable reading of the information on the mounting sheet 51. Also, if the main panel is accidentally... The documents 50 that have gotten stuck between the tip of the bottom plate portion 11a of section 11 and the front panel portion 12 are forcibly removed. Pulling or otherwise bending the documents could result in deformation or damage. stomach.

[0069] The amount of protrusion of the convex portion 12d is determined by the distance between one surface of the main panel portion 11 and the front panel portion 12 facing it. The gap with the back surface should be 1 / 2 or less, preferably 1 / 4 or less, and more preferably 1 / 8 or less. The lower part is provided. Note that only one protrusion 12d is provided, running parallel to the long side of the front panel 12. However, multiple such structures may be provided intermittently. Also, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 12d is the same as that of the main panel. The shape of the convex portion 12d tapers towards the portion 11, for example, a mountain-shaped cross-section or a semicircular cross-section. It is preferable that the upper part of it forms a surface that slopes toward the main panel portion 11. However, The size, arrangement, and shape of the protrusion 12d are not limited to those described above, and may also apply to the front panel. Depending on the positional relationship between section 12 and the main panel section 11, or the type and size of the document 50, convex The unit can be appropriately configured to perform the aforementioned auxiliary functions.

[0070] This protrusion 12d contacts the document 50 inserted into the gap 19, thereby pressing the document 50 against the main panel. It also has a function to move the document 50 towards section 11, and the amount by which the document 50 is moved towards the main panel section 11 The RF tag 52 is brought close to the reader / writer 20 located on the other side of the main panel 11. This improves the reliability of reading and writing information to the RF tag 52 by the reader / writer 20. This will happen.

[0071] If the only function required is to move these documents 50 towards the main panel section 11, the protrusion can be moved forward. It may be placed on either of the surfaces of the surface panel facing the main panel, but more preferably... Alternatively, the protruding part should be positioned towards the other long side of the front panel (when installed on the surface to which the support base is attached). It will be installed on the upper part of the front panel.

[0072] Furthermore, the protrusion 12d prevents the documents 50 from entering the space between the tip of the bottom plate 11a and the front panel 12. As another configuration to prevent this, on the surface of the front panel portion 12 facing the main panel portion 11 A protrusion is provided at a position facing the opening 11b, which is sandwiched between the bottom plate portion 11a of the main panel portion 11. It may be made so that the convex portion is substantially flush with the upper surface of the base plate portion 11a. It is preferable to set it up in this way.

[0073] The front panel portion 12 engages the locking piece 12c with the engagement hole portion 11f of the main panel portion 11. When the engagement of the locking piece 12c with the engagement hole 11f is released from this state, the front panel portion 1 The 2 is tilted relative to the main panel 11, creating a gap between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11. 19 can be opened up by spreading it (see Figure 16).

[0074] By making it possible to open the gap 19 between the front panel portion 12 and the main panel portion 11, Even if a foreign object accidentally gets into the gap 19 and cannot be removed as is, the front panel part By tilting 12 and opening the gap 19, foreign objects can be easily removed, and the document 50 is supported. This helps to avoid situations that could have negative consequences.

[0075] When tilting the front panel section 12, the movement restricting section 11d of the main panel section 11 controls the front panel By restricting movement of the front panel 12 other than tilting, the movement of the front panel 12 during tilting is restricted. The locking part 12a is about to detach from the support shaft 11c of the main panel part 11. This prevents excessive load from being applied to the hook portion 12a by shifting in a direction where there is no inner surface of the hook portion 12a that contacts the outer surface of the support shaft 11c (see Figure 17).

[0076] The front panel portion 12 hooks onto a part of the main panel portion 11 at a predetermined location on the outer circumference of the hook portion 12a. It has a projection 12e that makes contact with the front panel 12, allowing the front panel 12 to be tilted with light force. Then, the projection 12e hits a part of the main panel 11 and stops, which is predetermined The front panel section 12 can maintain a predetermined opening angle (see Figure 17). Normally, it can be tilted within an angular range up to the predetermined opening angle. This front panel section 1 The predetermined opening angle of the main panel portion 11 of 2 is approximately 35°, but this opening angle The setting and adjustment depend on the formation position and shape of the projection 12e on the outer circumference of the hook portion 12a. It can be adjusted. In addition, multiple projections 12e may be provided on the outer circumference of the hook portion 12a, and a predetermined opening angle (multiple tilting states) can be set for each projection 12e provided.

[0077] From the state in which the front panel section 12 is at the predetermined opening angle, the front panel section When 12 is tilted forward (opened) relative to the main panel portion 11, the projection 12 of the hook portion 12a e moves beyond the edge of the main panel section 11, tilting the front panel section 12 to a larger opening angle. To be moved.

[0078] When the support base 10 is lifted or when it is not placed on the mounting surface 90, the front panel section 1 Since part 2 is not constrained by the mounting surface 90, it can be tilted in a direction that further increases the opening angle. It becomes Noh.

[0079] When the front panel section 12 is tilted to a predetermined angle, specifically to the maximum opening angle (maximum opening angle, limiting opening angle) relative to the main panel section 11, in this case, to 180° or more, the constraints on the movement of the hook section 12a of the front panel section 12 due to its positional relationship with the various parts of the main panel section 11, such as the movement restricting section 11d, are removed, and the hook section 12a can be shifted relative to the support shaft 11c of the main panel section 11 (see Figure 18). In this state, when the front panel section 12 is moved in a direction that disengages the hook section 12a from the support shaft 11c, the front panel section 12 can be detached from the main panel section 11.

[0080] When attaching the front panel section 12 to the main panel section 11, follow the reverse procedure described above, i.e. The front panel section 12 is tilted relative to the main panel section 11, which is separated from the installation surface 90, and the front panel section An orientation corresponding to a state where the opening angle of the flannel section 12 relative to the main panel section 11 is 180° or more. After holding the front panel portion 12 in such a position, the hook portion 12a of the front panel portion 12 is mainly It is sufficient to engage it with the support shaft 11c of the panel section 11.

[0081] The front panel section 12 is detachable from the main panel section 11, so the front panel section 1 If a foreign object accidentally gets into the gap 19 between 2 and the main panel 11, it cannot be removed in that state. Even in this case, the front panel section 12 is tilted, and further from the main panel section 11 to the front panel section 12 By removing it, foreign objects can be easily removed, and the front panel portion 12 facing the gap 19 This also makes it easier to clean each surface of the main panel section 11, and removes dirt, dust, etc. that adheres to these surfaces. It can be removed without difficulty, avoiding any negative impact on the support of document 50.

[0082] On the other hand, when tilting the front panel portion 12 relative to the main panel portion 11, the hook portion 12 is usually used. Due to the action of the outer peripheral projection 12e, the front panel portion 12 opens to a predetermined distance from the main panel portion 11. It is possible to tilt within the angle range up to the angle of the front panel 12 and the main panel 11. To remove foreign objects that have entered the gap 19, and the gap 19 between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11 Cleaning of each facing surface can be performed without completely removing the front panel 12 from the main panel 11. If it can be done without any problems, these operations are performed by tilting the front panel 12 to create a gap 19 This can be done quickly simply by opening the front panel 12, eliminating the need to remove it. This also avoids the risk of loss or other issues that may arise when the front panel 12 is removed. can.

[0083] The other long side of the front panel 12, specifically the long side (upper end) that is on the upper side when the support base 10 is installed, is positioned below the notch 11g of the main panel 11 when viewed from the front side of the main panel 11. More specifically, the other long side (upper end) of the front panel 12 is positioned at the same level as, or below, the lower end position of the chamfered portion of the notch 11g in the main panel 11, when viewed from the front side of the main panel 11. Furthermore, the position of this other long side of the front panel 12 is approximately the same as the height position of the upper edge of the recess 11k that forms the card support portion 11i in the main panel 11.

[0084] In other words, the notch 11g of the main panel portion 11 is on the front when viewed from the front side of the main panel portion 11. It is positioned so as not to overlap with the panel section 12, and is supported along one surface of the main panel section 11. The documents 50 are positioned so that they can be easily grasped with the fingers through the notch 11g. The other long side of the panel section overlaps with the other long side of the main panel section when viewed from the front side of the main panel section. In addition to this arrangement, it is also possible to provide a notch in the front panel section similar to that of the main panel section. I won't turn.

[0085] Furthermore, the front panel section 12 is designed to support the documents 50 on the support base 10. Information on the backing sheet 51 is recorded in a predetermined position that overlaps with at least a portion of the information recorded on the backing sheet 51. A attention-grabbing section is provided, which provides a predetermined display state to encourage attention to at least a part of the section. The configuration is as follows. More specifically, the front panel section 12 serves as an attention-grabbing section, and is located on the backing paper 51. At least a portion of the information displayed (visible information) is visible from the outside at a size different from the actual size. This configuration allows for the provision of a lens section 12f.

[0086] The lens section 12f in the front panel section 12 serves as an attention-grabbing element in the document 50. The prescribed information on paper 51 is made easily visible from the outside by enlarging it, etc., and the user This is intended to draw attention to it, and is placed opposite the section containing important information in document 50. It is preferable to do so.

[0087] The lens portion 12f is designed to be a convex lens by varying its thickness at each position in the vertical direction. It is formed in a concave shape depending on the application, or the degree of change in thickness is reduced. It may also be formed as a slitted Fresnel lens. Alternatively, the thickness of the lens portion 12f may be changed. The part is set on the front side of the front panel section 12 that does not face the main panel section 11, It is not limited to the gap 19 in the front panel section 12 or the rear side facing the main panel section 11. You may set it to this. In this case, the lens section 12f will protrude convexly towards the main panel section 11. The shape shall also serve as the convex portion 12d, that is, it shall be inserted into the gap 19. Move the document 50 towards the main panel section 11, or move the tip of the bottom plate section 11a of the main panel section 11 and the front panel The configuration may also include a function to prevent the end of the document 50 from entering the space between the section 12 and the other part.

[0088] When using the lens section 12f, the side of the front panel section 12 facing the main panel section 11 The convex portion 12d and the lens portion that serves as it move the document 50 towards the main panel portion 11, and the document The positional relationship between 50 and the lens part 12f can be adjusted to a pre-set appropriate value. Therefore, the information in the corresponding section of document 50 can be clearly seen through the lens section 12f. It can be secured.

[0089] The leg portion 13 is made of plastic such as acrylic resin, similar to the main panel portion 11, and the main On the other side of the flannel portion 11 that is opposite to the one side, the front of the main panel portion 11 At two points near the longer side of one side, it is connected and integrated with the main panel section 11 in a direction that is approximately perpendicular to it, It is configured to be installed in a state where it protrudes from the panel section 11.

[0090] The leg portion 13 is formed as a shallow, roughly box-shaped body with a plate-like base portion surrounded by wall-like portions that stand upright around it. This configuration allows for placing objects on the upper part of the bottom of the leg portion 13, and the leg portion will be described later. It is also possible to configure the storage area to accommodate a designated item for storage.

[0091] The distal end of this leg portion 13 relative to the main panel portion 11 is the leg portion of the main panel portion 11 The desk top surface on which the support base 10 is to be installed, along with the end of one of the longer sides that is close to 13. The support base 10 is in an installed state when it comes into contact with the installation surface 90. In its upright position, the main panel 11 is tilted toward the side with the legs 13, and one side of the main panel 11 is straight. The position is tilted by approximately 20° from the upright position, and along the inclined surface of this main panel section 11 This means supporting document 50 in this state.

[0092] The leg portion 13 is configured to directly contact the surface to be installed 90 at its distal end relative to the main panel portion 11. In addition, the distal end of the leg portion 13 relative to the main panel portion 11 (the bottom surface of the leg portion) may be fitted with a foot (rubber foot) made of a material that has slip-resistant properties against the surface to be installed 90, such as rubber or elastomer. It is also possible to attach the feet (rubber feet) to the support base 10, thereby reliably preventing the leg portion 13 from shifting relative to the mounting surface 90 and further stabilizing the installation state of the support base 10. If feet (rubber feet) are to be provided, it is advisable to provide a mark to indicate the attachment (sticking) position of the feet (rubber feet).

[0093] The connection position of the leg portion 13 to the main panel portion 11 is between one of the long sides of the main panel portion 11 and the housing portion 14 The central position in the region between the two is closer to the housing section 14. This is because the support base 10 is installed on the support base 10. In the installed state on surface 90, in the area from one long side of the main panel section 11 to the lower end of the housing section 14 This position is above the center position, and the center of gravity of the support base 10 is not excessively positioned relative to the leg portion 13. By preventing it from being positioned too far back, the support base 13 can stand independently without strain, while the main panel section 11 is positioned appropriately A severely inclined state, specifically, one surface of the main panel 11 tilted by 20° or more from the upright position. In other words, the angle between the main panel 11 and the installation surface 90 is 70° or less. The connection position is set so that it is tilted until it reaches that point.

[0094] The leg section 13 is configured with two roughly box-shaped parts, but it is not limited to this configuration. It is also possible to have a configuration with only one or three or more of them. Furthermore, the leg portion 13 is roughly box-shaped. It is not limited to this shape; other shapes, such as flat or rod-shaped, are also acceptable.

[0095] Furthermore, the leg portion 13 is arranged to protrude approximately at a right angle from the other surface of the main panel portion 11. In addition, the main panel is tilted at a predetermined location, including the end of the main panel. The configuration is such that it protrudes from the main panel in a predetermined direction corresponding to a certain angle. It is also possible to make the direction in which the legs protrude relative to the main panel variable, and the support base The tilt angle of the main panel in the installed state may be adjustable.

[0096] Furthermore, when the leg portion 13 is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, the main panel portion 11 is tilted. This is not limited to configurations where the panel is positioned at an angle, but also includes configurations where the main panel is positioned upright. That's fine.

[0097] The aforementioned housing section 14 is one of the additional functional sections in the main panel section 11. It is disposed at a predetermined location near one of the short sides of the main panel portion 11 on the other side, and the reader / writer The reader / writer 2 is housed in this housing section 14 so that it can be inserted and removed. 0 has a rectangular, roughly thick plate-like outer shape, and a predetermined surface that will become the reading surface 25 is attached to the RF tag 52. When the RF tag 52 is brought into close proximity, the information recorded on it can be read and information can be written to it. This involves implementing a plan, which will be explained in more detail later.

[0098] The housing section 14 is located at the predetermined location on the other side of the main panel section 11, and the short portion of the main panel section 11 They are mounted at predetermined intervals in the lateral direction and on two opposing sides of the reader / writer 20 The first member 14a and the second member 14b are in contact with each other, and the main panel portion is in the predetermined area. It is attached to the other shorter side of 11 and is in contact with the other side of the reader / writer 20. It has a third member 14c.

[0099] When the housing section 14 is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, the housing section 14 is in the vertical direction The center of the support base 10 is in the upper and lower parts of the main panel section 11, specifically the parts other than the housing section. The position is approximately the same as the center position of the direction. However, this is not the only option, and the storage section 1 It is also possible to arrange the 4 such that its vertical center is located below the aforementioned center position. In this case, the relatively heavy reader / writer 20 is housed in the information recording medium stand 1. Position it as low as possible to lower the center of gravity of the entire stand, and the information recording medium The stand 1 can be made stable and less likely to tip over.

[0100] The first member 14a, the second member 14b, and the third member 14c that make up the housing section 14 are the main panel section 11 Similar plastic components such as acrylic resin, of which the first component 14a and the second Each member 14b is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is parallel to the long side of the main panel 11. The region enclosed by these first member 14a, second member 14b, and third member 14c. The reader / writer 20 is in a state where its reading surface 25 is in substantially contact with the other surface of the main panel 11. It is made possible to accommodate this. The first member 14a, the second member 14b and the third part that make up this accommodating section 14 With respect to material 14c, the reader / writer 20 is positioned so that its longitudinal direction coincides with the longitudinal direction of the main panel portion 11. Furthermore, the main panel section 11 can be extended and retracted in the same direction as the long side, and the support base 10 is installed on it. When installed on surface 90, the reader / writer 20 is oriented sideways, unlike the insertion / removal direction of the document 50. The reader / writer is inserted into and removed from the storage section 14 in the same lateral direction. In this way, the direction in which the reader / writer is removed from or attached to the support base is different from the direction in which the information recording medium is supported or released from the main panel of the support base via the storage section. This makes the operation related to attaching and detaching the reader / writer and the operation related to supporting the information recording medium essentially different, making it less likely to cause errors such as attempting to attach the reader / writer to one side of the main panel or attempting to support the information recording medium on a side other than one side of the main panel, and allowing for proper handling of the information recording medium and reader / writer.

[0101] However, the entrance and exit for the reader / writer in the housing section 14 is positioned along one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11, and the distance of the third member 14c from one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11 is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the reader / writer 20. As a result, when the reader / writer 20 is housed, a predetermined area of ​​the reader / writer 20 closer to one of its shorter sides (right side when viewed from the front, left side when viewed from the rear) protrudes longitudinally from the first member 14a and the second member 14b, as well as from the main panel section 11. Specifically, when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the reader / writer 20 housed in the housing section 14, which is located slightly to the right when viewed from the front of the main panel section 11, has a predetermined area of ​​its one shorter side that protrudes laterally from one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11, which is the right side when viewed from the front of the main panel section 11.

[0102] The first member 14a of the housing section 14 is, when the reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing section 14, A portion of the end face on one of the longer sides of the Dal Writer 20 and the end face on the other shorter side of the Reader Writer 20 It is arranged so as to overlap a part of it. This first member 14a is, for example, on the back of the main panel 11. When viewed from the side, it consists of a long, narrow rectangular section and a section that extends in an arc shape to the right from this rectangular section. It can be configured to have a portion that extends further downward in a straight line.

[0103] Furthermore, the second member 14b, when the reader / writer 20 is housed, is the other side of the reader / writer 20. It is positioned so that a portion of the end face on the longer side overlaps with a portion of the end face on the other shorter side of the reader / writer 20. This second member 14b is provided, for example, when viewed from the back side of the main panel portion 11. A long rectangular section, a section extending in an arc shape to the right from this rectangular section, and further upward from there It can be configured to have a portion that extends in a straight line. Furthermore, the third member 14c, when the reader / writer 20 is housed, is located in the reader / writer 20. It is positioned to contact a predetermined location on the opposite side of the reading surface 25, near the other short side. .

[0104] Thus, the first member 14a, the second member 14b, and the third member 14c that constitute the housing section 14 are It contacts each surface of the stowing reader / writer 20 and also fits into a part of the reader / writer 20. Therefore, the reader / writer 20 is constrained to a state where it cannot be moved in any direction other than in the direction of inserting and removing it. .

[0105] And there is a gap between each of these members: the first member 14a, the second member 14b, and the third member 14c. This is done so that when the reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing section 14, the reader The cable 22 connected to the writer 20 is passed through the gap and from inside the housing 14 to the housing 14 It can be easily pulled out, and even when the cable 22 is directly connected to the reader / writer 20. The reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing 14 without any problems, and the cable 22 is outside the housing 14. This will allow you to handle the device without any issues, such as connection problems.

[0106] In the housing section 14, with the reader / writer 20 housed, the reading surface 25 of the reader / writer 20 A third member 14c is fitted into a recess provided on a part of the opposite side, A configuration in which a third member 14c is provided is also possible. In this case, the reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing. When inserting and housing it in 14, if the reader / writer 20 reaches the deepest part of housing section 14, The three members 14c are recesses provided on the side of the reader / writer 20 opposite to the reading surface 25. This causes the reader / writer 2 to reach the back of the housing section 14. When attempting to remove 0 from the housing 14, it encounters resistance due to the fitting of the third member 14c. As a result, the reader / writer 20 can be prevented from easily detaching from the housing 14, and support This prevents the reader / writer 20 from unintentionally falling out of the housing 14 of the holder 11.

[0107] The housing section 14 consists of three parts: the first member 14a, the second member 14b, and the third member 14c. The configuration includes materials, but is not limited to this, and the reader / writer 20 is the main panel The reader / writer 2 can be housed in such a way that it does not allow any movement other than insertion and removal from the part 11, and When inserting or removing 0 from the storage compartment, a predetermined resistance force is applied, and once stored in the storage compartment, - The housing can be formed in such a way that the Writer 20 cannot be easily removed from the housing. If so, the housing section is formed with fewer than three members, that is, one or two members. This is also possible, and the structure of the storage area can be further simplified to reduce costs. - To more securely house the writer, the housing section may be constructed with more than three components.

[0108] In addition, the first member 14a and the second member 14b of the housing section 14 are located on the long side of the main panel section 11. The structure is formed with each member being a continuous member in a parallel direction, but it is not limited to this. At least one of these first member 14a and second member 14b arranges multiple members intermittently It is also acceptable for the configuration to be formed in this way. The same applies to the third member 14c.

[0109] The reader / writer 20 reads the information recorded on the RF tag 52 and writes the information. The input can be performed contactlessly, and the RF tag 5 of the document 50 is supported on the support base 10. It is configured to be positioned on the support base 10 so as to face 2.

[0110] This reader / writer 20 is on the side that supports the document 50 on the main panel portion 11 of the support base 10. The surface of the housing section 14 on the opposite side of one side is the surface that will become the reading surface 25, and the main panel section It is housed in a way that allows it to be inserted and removed, facing 11. As a result, the reader / writer 20 Document 5 is placed on the support base 10 in an immovable state and is supported by the support base 10. The RF tag 52 is positioned at location 0, and it overlaps with the main panel section 11. This mechanism allows for seamless communication between the RF tag 52 of document 50 and the R section 11. ru.

[0111] Furthermore, the reader / writer 20 does not have the document 50 supported on the support base 10, and instead the main panel When the IC card 60 is supported by the card support portion 11i of the panel 11, the main panel Communication with the IC card 60 is performed via section 11, enabling the reading and writing of information. It is considered a Noh play.

[0112] This is because the IC card 60 supported by the card support part 11i is placed on the support base 10, and the document 50 The RF tag 52 of document 50 is located in the supported state and overlaps with the reader / writer 20 This is due to being located within the communication range.

[0113] Information recorded on the RF tag 52 and IC card 60 in this reader / writer 20 Mechanisms for reading and writing information without contact include IC cards and RF It communicates wirelessly with the tags and supplies power to them, and provides information to the IC chips embedded in them. Similar to known reader / writers that employ short-range wireless communication technology to perform reading and writing. Therefore, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0114] Furthermore, the reader / writer 20 is connected to an information processing device such as a computer (not shown in the diagram). , information read from the RF tag 52 or IC card 60 of document 50 or RF tag 52 or I Regarding the exchange of information to be written to the C card 60 with the information processing device, a known reader It's similar to a writer, so I'll omit a detailed explanation.

[0115] The reader / writer 20 has a predetermined area on one of its shorter sides, and the state of the reader / writer 20 A display unit 21 is provided to indicate the status. The display unit 21 has a power lamp 21a positioned towards one of the longer sides of the reader / writer 20. A communication status indicator lamp 21b is placed near the other longer side of the reader / writer 20. This is the configuration in which it is placed.

[0116] The display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20 is located on the main panel of the support base 10 when housed in the housing unit 14. This corresponds to the parts that protrude from 11 and the housing section 14, and each part of the support base 10 and the support base 10 It is visible and exposed in a position that does not overlap with the document 50 which is supported. Thus, the display unit 21, in the state of being installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, the main panel unit 11 The mechanism is such that it protrudes to the side and appears on the side of the support base 10, making it always visible. As described above, when the IC card 60 is housed in the card support portion 11i (recessed portion 11k), one end of the IC card 60 (right side in front view) is configured to protrude from the main panel portion 11. However, when the reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing portion 14, and the IC card 60 is housed in the card support portion 11i (recessed portion 11k), one end of the reader / writer 20 (right side in front view) is configured to protrude beyond one end of the IC card 60 (right side in front view). At this time, the display portion 21 of the reader / writer 20 is configured to be located on the outer periphery of the portion of the IC card 60 that protrudes from the main panel portion 11 (the area avoiding the protruding portion).

[0117] In addition, another notification device other than the display unit 21 may be installed in place of the display unit 21, or installed alongside the display unit 21. For example, when reading is complete, or when IC card 60 or document 50 is ejected, IC card 60 or Sound output such as a buzzer to indicate that the RF tag 52 has moved out of the communication range of the reader / writer 20. You may also create a separate department.

[0118] The reader / writer 20 reads information from the RF tag 52 or IC card 60 and the RF tag Cable 2 for connecting to an information processing device that processes information to be written to 52 or IC card 60. It has 2. This cable 22 is connected to one of the short sides of the display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20 and It is directly connected and electrically linked to the other short side end on the opposite side.

[0119] The cable 22 of this reader / writer 20 is, when installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, The lower side of the leg portion 13, specifically the area surrounded by the leg portion 13, the lower part of the main panel portion 11, and the mounting surface 90 By routing the cable through the space, it is easy to prevent the cable 22 from moving unintentionally. It is possible.

[0120] Furthermore, the reader / writer 20, like known reader / writers, is connected to an information processing device or It is configured to operate by being powered by a battery, but is not limited to this, and may also be powered by a built-in battery, or Power is supplied using commercial power, which is connected via a connector or AC adapter, etc. The structure is also fine.

[0121] The storage section 17 is one of the additional functional sections of the main panel section 11. Among these, the position of document 50 when it is supported on the support base 10, and the leader / writer It is provided in a predetermined location, excluding the installation position of the 20, so as to be able to store a predetermined object. .

[0122] In detail, the storage section 17 is a large storage unit located near the right side edge when viewed from the rear of the main panel section 11. Storage section 17a, middle storage section 17b located at the upper center when viewed from the rear of the main panel section 11, and main panel The small storage compartment 17c is located at the lower center when viewed from the rear of section 11, and the right side when viewed from the rear of the main panel section 11. The configuration includes a hook portion 18 that protrudes from the side end.

[0123] The large storage section 17a is a bottom plate that is arranged to protrude from the other side of the main panel section 11. The main panel section and two frame-shaped surrounding sections 17e, 17 attached to the other surfaces of the main panel section 11. f has a region above the bottom plate portion, and is part of the main panel portion 11 and the surrounding portion 17e, The area enclosed by 17f is the area where the stored object, such as a long, thin pen, is stored. The entire space is designed to be used for storage.

[0124] The bottom plate of the large storage compartment 17a is the right side end of the leg portion 13 when viewed from the rear of the main panel portion 11. The mechanism is such that the part located closer to the user serves multiple purposes. The legs 13, which act as the base plate, store the contents of the container. It can be supported from below and kept in the storage space. Note: Leg 13 A bottom plate is provided above or to the side of the legs 13, separately from the legs 13, and the stored items are placed on the bottom plate. It can also be configured to be supported from below.

[0125] In relation to the large storage compartment 17a, the main panel 11 is provided with an opening 17j, which is a notch that leads from one side to the storage space of the large storage compartment 17a, and two windows 17k and 17l, which are through holes.

[0126] The opening 17j is a notch that leads from one side of the main panel 11 to the storage space at the location of the surrounding portion 17e of the large storage section 17a. The window 17k is a through-hole that leads from one side of the main panel 11 to the storage space at the location of the surrounding portion 17f of the large storage section 17a. The window 17l is a through-hole that leads from one side of the main panel 11 to the storage space at the location of the leg portion 13 which also serves as the bottom plate portion of the large storage section 17a.

[0127] Furthermore, in the main panel section 11, above the lowest window section 17l and the large storage section 17a The rear portion facing the storage space is provided with a canopy-like section 17h that protrudes toward the storage space. This canopy-like section 17h is for preventing the stored items from falling out. Furthermore, part h has a textured section 17i formed on its tip side, in which the bumps and grooves are arranged alternately in a horizontal pattern. This uneven surface 17i is used when the stored item is a long, slender writing instrument (stationery) such as a pen. This corresponds to positioning a portion of the stored items within the recesses of the uneven-shaped portion 17i. This partially restricts the movement of the stored items and prevents them from shifting laterally. The canopy-like portion 17h may be provided above or below the window portion 17k facing the storage space of the large storage portion 17a, or below the opening portion 17j. Alternatively, the uneven-shaped portion 17i may be formed directly on the edge of the opening portion 17j or the edges of the window portions 17k and 17l, instead of being formed on the canopy-like portion 17h. The uneven-shaped portion 17i may also be formed on the surrounding portions 17e and 17f.

[0128] The large storage compartment 17a is located near the right side edge when viewed from the rear of the main panel 11, The reader / writer 20, located near the side end, is positioned at a sufficient distance from the other side. If an object containing metal is stored in the storage compartment near the Dalitter 20, the communication specifications may change. Above, metal can negatively affect communication between the reader / writer 20 and the RF tag 52 or IC card 60. This may cause [something]. However, the large storage section 17a is separated from the reader / writer 20. Therefore, even if the corresponding item stored in the large storage compartment 17a contains metal, the reader / writer 2 This does not affect the reading and writing of information to the RF tag 52 or IC card 60. Furthermore, the reader / writer 20 and its cable 22 can be positioned away from the large storage compartment 17a, preventing damage or injury to the reader / writer 20 or cable 22 when storing tapered objects such as pens in the storage space of the large storage compartment 17a.

[0129] The aforementioned storage compartment 17b is a frame attached to the upper center of the other side of the main panel 11. A space is formed by a surrounding portion 17g, which is part of the main panel portion 11 and the surrounding portion 17g. The area from the top to the bottom is a storage area for storing items, such as bundled cables. This configuration is intended to be a functional space.

[0130] With respect to this central storage section 17b, the main panel section 11 has a side facing the central storage section 17b. A window section 17m, which is a through-hole leading to the storage space, is provided. The window section 17m is located in the main panel section 1 From one side of 1, there is a penetration leading to the storage space at the position where the surrounding portion 17g of the central storage section 17b is located. It is considered a hole.

[0131] The opening 17j provided in the main panel section 11 allows the entrance (guide opening) for storing items in the storage space of the large storage section 17a to be confirmed and visible from the front side of the main panel section 11 through the opening. In addition, the opening 17j, windows 17k, 17l, and 17m provided in the main panel section 11 allow the presence of the large storage section 17a and the medium storage section 17b to be recognized from the front side of the main panel section 11 through these openings and windows, and also allow the presence or absence of items to be stored in each storage space of the large storage section 17a and the medium storage section 17b, as well as the condition of any existing items to be stored, to be confirmed and visible. Here, if the lateral dimension of the information recording medium supported on one side of the main panel 11 is smaller than the lateral dimension of the main panel 11 (the distance between one side and the other side of the main panel 11) (for example, if the lateral dimension of the information recording medium is 2 / 3 or less of the lateral dimension of the main panel 11), then by supporting the information recording medium closer to one side of the main panel, the opening or window leading to the storage space of the storage unit can be exposed. In particular, by supporting the information recording medium on the right side of the main panel when viewed from the front, the opening or window leading to the storage space of the large storage unit is exposed and open, allowing for easy confirmation and viewing of the stored items. Of course, communication with the reader / writer can also be performed without any problems. Furthermore, if the lateral dimension of the information recording medium is significantly smaller than the lateral dimension of the main panel section 11 (for example, if the lateral dimension of the information recording medium is less than half the lateral dimension of the main panel section 11), the lateral dimension of the front panel section (the distance between one side and the other side of the front panel section 12) may be reduced. In this case, the vertical groove 11e on one end (the left side in the front view) may be positioned closer to the lateral center of the main panel section 11, more specifically, in the front view of the support base, to the right of the notch that constitutes the opening or the through hole that constitutes the window, and to the left of the left edge of the recess 11k of the card support section 11i. When the front panel section is placed on the main panel section using a front panel section with the same lateral dimension as the distance between this vertical groove and the other vertical groove, the front panel section may be configured so that it does not overlap with the opening or window.

[0132] The window sections 17k, 17l, 17m and the awning section 17h, which are provided as through-holes in the main panel section 11, are arranged so that when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, neither the window sections nor the awning sections can be seen from above the storage spaces (large storage section 17a, medium storage section 17b). In other words, in a plan view when installed, neither the window sections nor the awning sections can be seen from the entrance of the storage space, thus preventing the stored items from accidentally reaching the front side of the main panel section 11 through the window sections when inserting them into the storage space of each storage section from the entrance of the storage space.

[0133] The aforementioned small storage compartment 17c is attached to the lower center of the other side of the main panel 11. It is a cylindrical body, and the inner region of this roughly cylindrical body is used to house the contents, such as the connector at the end of a cable. This configuration is designed to provide storage space for items such as [list of items].

[0134] The aforementioned hook portion 18 protrudes from two locations on the right side edge when viewed from the rear of the main panel portion 11. It consists of protruding hook-shaped members 18a and 18b, with the upper hook-shaped member 18 having an end pointing upwards. Items to be stored, such as keys with a ring-shaped keychain or rubber bands, can be hung on a for storage. This configuration makes it possible. The hook portion 18 is configured to hang the object to be stored on the upper hook-shaped member 18a. In addition to being in a stored state, the upper and lower hook-shaped members 18 are integrated with the side ends of the main panel section 11. In the horizontal sections of a and 18b, flexible, long items such as cables are placed vertically. Wrap them around, or use large rings such as large diameter rubber bands, with upper and lower hooks inside the rings. By passing the ends of the shaped members 18a and 18b through each other, such a fitting can be used. The storage status of the stored items can be determined. Furthermore, within the surrounding portions 17e and 17f of the large storage section 17a, and within the surrounding portion 17g of the medium storage section 17b. Alternatively, the cable can be stored by passing it through the hook portion 18.

[0135] In addition, among the legs 13, those located closer to the left side end in a rear view of the main panel portion 11 can be used as a part of the storage portion 17 for placing and storing cables, ferrite cores, and stationery (such as erasers). Regarding this leg 13, since the reader-writer 20 is present in the storage portion 14 above the leg 13, when the leg 13 is used as a storage portion, it is preferable to store items that do not contain conductive materials such as metal, for example, an eraser, so as not to affect the reading and writing of information by the reader-writer 20. conductive materials such as metal, for example, an eraser, so as not to affect the reading and writing of information by the reader-writer 20. It is preferable to store items that do not contain a conductor such as metal as the stored object, for example, an eraser, so as not to affect the reading and writing of information by the reader-writer 20.

[0136] Thus, the storage portion 17 is provided in the main panel portion 11. Apart from supporting the document 50 in a state where the reader-writer 20 can perform reading and writing on the RF tag 52, storing objects to be stored in the storage portion 17 allows various objects to be stored in the storage portion 17, so that these objects will not be scattered on the installation surface 90 of the support base 10, and handling is facilitated. In addition, in the support base 1 0 (stand 1), the objects stored in the storage portion 17 function as a weight, which can make the support base 10 less likely to move, and the initial installation state of the support base 10 can be maintained. Further, by storing an object in the storage portion 17 (particularly the large storage portion 17a) (storing the object such that one end side of the object abuts against the bottom plate portion and the other end side leans against the surrounding portion), the center of gravity of the support base 10 (stand 1) is positioned at the rear lower side, which can cope with, for example, the elastic restoring force from the cable of the reader-writer, and can prevent the support base 10 (stand 1) from tipping forward. Furthermore, storing an object in the storage portion 17 (particularly the large storage portion 17a) allows the left-right balance of the support base 10 (stand 1) to be maintained when the reader-writer is accommodated in the accommodating portion, thereby eliminating the biased state toward the side where the reader-writer is located when the stand is hung on a wall or the like. 10 less likely to move, and the initial installation state of the support base 10 can be maintained. Further, by storing an object in the storage portion 17 (particularly the large storage portion 17a) (storing the object such that one end side of the object abuts against the bottom plate portion and the other end side leans against the surrounding portion), the center of gravity of the support base 10 (stand 1) is positioned at the rear lower side, which can cope with, for example, the elastic restoring force from the cable of the reader-writer, and can prevent the support base 10 (stand 1) from tipping forward. Furthermore, storing an object in the storage portion 17 (particularly the large storage portion 17a) allows the left-right balance of the support base 10 (stand 1) to be maintained when the reader-writer is accommodated in the accommodating portion, thereby eliminating the biased state toward the side where the reader-writer is located when the stand is hung on a wall or the like.

[0137] Next, the usage state of the information recording medium stand according to this embodiment will be described. The information recording medium stand 1 is in a state where it is installed on a surface 90 such as the top of a desk. The reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing section 14 of the support base 10, and the reader / writer The cable 22 of the Ita 20 is connected to the information processing device, and the reader / writer 20 is necessary for operation. It is assumed that the necessary power supply is being received and the power indicator lamp 21a is lit.

[0138] When the information recording medium stand 1 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the support base 10 The main panel section 11 and the leg sections 13 are in contact with the mounting surface 90, so the support base 10 does not easily tip over. It is in a state of independence.

[0139] In this support base 10, the gap 19 between the front panel portion 12 and the main panel portion 11, The document to be read or written, 50, is inserted through the open portion at the top of this gap 19 (see Figure 12). At this time, the document 50 inserted into the gap 19 is guided by the protrusion 12d of the front panel 12. As a result, the document is positioned closer to the main panel section 11, and the lower end of the document 50 is on the bottom plate section of the main panel section 11. It will not get stuck between the tip of 11a and the front panel portion 12.

[0140] When document 50 is positioned in the gap 19, a support state is obtained along the main panel portion 11 of document 50. The documents 50 are then restrained by the front panel 12, the side plate 12b, and the bottom plate 11a. As a result, it becomes difficult to move except when the user removes or detaches it in an up-and-down direction. .

[0141] In this supported state of document 50, the RF tag 52 placed on document 50 is located in the support base 10. It is located on the front side of the reader / writer 20 housed in the container 14, and the reader / writer 20 It can communicate with the RF tag 52 via the main panel section 11. Also, the document 50 is supported. In this state, the user can visually approve the information on the surface of document 50 through the transparent front panel 12. It is a Noh play.

[0142] The reader / writer 20 is positioned appropriately in advance on the support base 10, If the document 50 is already operational when it is supported, inserting the document 50 into the gap 19 will establish communication with the RF tag 52 within the communication range without any problems, and the system will indicate that it is possible to communicate with the RF tag 52 normally, for example by lighting up the communication status confirmation lamp 21b on the display unit 21.

[0143] From the display on the display unit 21, etc., it can be determined that the reader / writer 20 is in a state where it can operate normally. After confirming this, if the user performs an operation through the information processing device according to the guidance, The RF tag 20 communicates with the RF tag 52 to read and write information. In addition, Once the Dalita 20 establishes communication with the RF tag 52, any operation by the user immediately Without any action required, the reader / writer 20 automatically communicates with the RF tag 52 to read the information. You may also choose to execute the "write" command.

[0144] In the case of reading, the data of the information read by the reader / writer 20 is either on the reader / writer 20 or The data is then sent to an information processing device where it undergoes predetermined processing. In addition, in the case of writing, the data is pre-processed for writing by the information processing device. The data of the information to be included is sent to the reader / writer 20, and the reader / writer 20 uses RF tags Information is written to 52. During such reading or writing, the communication on the display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20 status confirmation lamp 21b is turned on or blinks, so that the user can recognize that reading or writing is in progress.

[0145] Completion of reading or writing by the reader / writer 20 is indicated by changing the lit or blinking state of the communication status confirmation lamp 21b that indicated execution of reading or writing to an off state, or transitioning the communication status confirmation lamp 21b to a lit or blinking state different from the previous state, or notifying by another notification means other than the display unit, for example, outputting a sound indicating completion from a sound output unit such as a buzzer to notify the user. In addition, completion of reading or writing by the reader / writer 20 may be notified to the user by means of status display or the like on a display unit of an information processing apparatus.

[0146] The user can confirm completion of writing to the RF tag 52 by the reader / writer 20 from the display of the display unit 21 on the reader / writer 20, the display on the information processing apparatus, or the like, and utilize information that is directly visible from the document 5 0 and information read by the reader / writer 20. For example, after completing work such as collating and checking information recorded in the RF tag 52 read by the reader / writer 20 and information recorded on the surface of the document 50 by a method such as visually checking the display output on the display unit of the information processing apparatus or listening to the text-to-speech output of the information processing apparatus, the user pulls out and collects the document 50 supported on the support base 10 from the gap 1 9 between the front panel unit 12 and the main panel unit 11.

[0147] ​Inserting and removing the document 50 from the gap 19 can be done smoothly because the user can securely grip the document 50 with their fingers through the notch 11g of the main panel 11. When inserting the document 50, the user can guide the document 50 with their fingers until just before the gap 19, and when removing the document 50, it can be easily removed with the fingers. Furthermore, there is no need to move the support base 10 to insert or remove the document 50.

[0148] There are multiple similar documents (50 in total) that require tasks including reading and writing information using a reader / writer (20). In this case, the above procedure will be repeated while replacing the documents 50 supported by the support base 10. ru.

[0149] Next, regarding other usage conditions, we will discuss the case where information is read from and written to the IC card 60. I will explain. When reading and writing information to this IC card 60, the front of the support base 10 A document 50 (RF tag 52) is located in the gap 19 between the panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. If so, remove the document 50 from the open part at the top of the gap 19 and put the document into the gap 19. Assume that 50 is not available.

[0150] With no documents 50 in the gap 19, the IC card 60 to be read / written is placed in the main panel section 11 Insert it into the card support section 11i on the front side (see Figure 20). In detail, this card support section 1 In 1i, an expanded portion is provided on one of the shorter sides of the main panel portion 11, where an IC card is placed. The IC card 60 is positioned so that the long side direction of 60 is parallel to the long side direction of the main panel 11. While doing so, the IC card 60 is inserted into the slot created between the main panel 11 and the front panel 12. Insert it from its shorter side, so that the protrusion 11j of the card support part 11i is in front of the IC card 60. Insert the IC card 60 by sliding it straight in so that it is positioned on the front side. The end of the IC card 60 is in contact with the far end, and the IC card 60 is correctly positioned on the card support part 11i. When supported, the IC card 60 is housed in the storage section 14 of the support base 10. Located on the front side of the reader / writer 20, the reader / writer 20 connects to the IC via the main panel section 11. It will be possible to communicate with card 60.

[0151] The reader / writer 20 is already operational when the IC card 60 is being supported. In this case, communication with the IC card 60 within the communication range is established without any problems, for example, display The communication status indicator lamp 21b of unit 21 is lit, and communication with the IC card 60 is confirmed to be working correctly. To show that it is possible.

[0152] From the display on the display unit 21, etc., it can be determined that the reader / writer 20 is in a state where it can operate normally. After confirming this, if the user performs an operation through the information processing device according to the guidance, The card writer 20 communicates with the IC card 60 to read and write information. In addition, - Once the card writer 20 establishes communication with the IC card 60, immediately any action by the user is taken. Without requiring any operation, the reader / writer 20 automatically communicates with the IC card 60 to provide information. You may also enable it to read and write reports.

[0153] In the case of reading, the data of the information read from the IC card 60 by the reader / writer 20 The data is sent from the reader / writer 20 to the information processing device, where it undergoes predetermined processing. In addition, in the case of writing, the data is pre-processed for writing by the information processing device. The data of the information to be included is sent to the reader / writer 20, and the reader / writer 20 processes the IC card Information is written to D60.

[0154] The user can see the display on the display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20 and the display on the information processing device. From the above, the reader / writer 20 confirms the completion of writing to the IC card 60, and Once the information read by the reader / writer 20 is utilized, for example, by comparing and verifying the information recorded on the IC card 60 read by the reader / writer 20 with the information written on the surface of the IC card 60, and after the work is completed, such as visually confirming the information displayed by the display means of the information processing device or listening to the information output by the voice reading means of the information processing device, the IC card 60 supported on the support base 10 is removed from the card support part 11i of the main panel part 11 and retrieved.

[0155] There are multiple similar IC cards 60 that require reading and writing information by a reader / writer 20. In this case, the above procedure is repeated while replacing the IC card 60 supported by the card support section 11i. It will be done.

[0156] In addition, we will explain another usage scenario: when storing items in the storage compartment 17. do. The storage section 17 consists of a large storage section 17a, a medium storage section 17b, a small storage section 17c, and a hook section 1 In response to 8, the user can also utilize the support stand 10 by storing the corresponding items to be stored. Cut.

[0157] For example, the large storage compartment 17a can hold writing instruments (stationery) such as pens, and brushes (cleaning tools). ), and other long, slender items such as screwdrivers (tools) can be inserted and stored from above. This large storage compartment 17a is located near the side edge of the main panel section 11 and is accessible from the reader / writer 20. Because they are separated, even when storing items containing metal, the RF of the reader / writer 20 This will not affect the reading and writing of information to tag 52 or IC card 60.

[0158] Furthermore, the central storage section 17b is designed to store bundled cables and other items in a organized manner. By attempting to expand and remaining inside the surrounding 17g portion, it prevents the inserted object from easily falling out. It can be stored in this way.

[0159] In addition, the small storage compartment 17c contains the connector at the end of the cable 22 connected to the reader / writer 20. It can store items such as bags, and these items can be easily moved. By keeping it in a non-removable state, unnecessary movement of other parts connected to the stored items can also be suppressed. .

[0160] Furthermore, the hook portion 18 has a ring-shaped keychain attached to the upper hook-shaped member 18a. Items with ring-shaped parts, such as keys or rubber bands, can be hung to store them, or the upper hook-shaped member... A flexible, elongated object to be stored, such as a cable, extends from 18a to the lower hook-shaped member 18b. Wrap them around, or place large ring-shaped objects such as large diameter rubber bands inside the rings, with upper and lower hook-shaped members inside. By threading the ends through each other and hanging them, it can be stored away.

[0161] In addition, among the leg parts 13, those located near the left side end when viewed from the rear of the main panel part 11. This is treated as part of the storage section 17, and cables, ferrite cores, etc. are placed on it for storage. It is also possible.

[0162] Thus, the information recording medium stand according to this embodiment is equipped with an RF tag 52. The support base 10 supports the document 50 while it is restrained to one side of the main panel section 11, - The Writer 20 is positioned opposite the RF tag 52 on the document 50, which is supported on the support base 10. Then, by placing it in a location where communication is possible with it, and supporting the document 50 with the support base 10, the reader Since it becomes possible to read and write to the RF tag 52 of document 50 using Ita 20, Even if the size of the document 50 on which the RF tag 52 is attached and the reader / writer 20 are different, document 5 There is no need to align the 0 with the reader / writer 20, and the document 50 is supported on the support base 10. Simply by inserting the reader / writer 20, the reader / writer 2 can quickly perform reading and writing operations. This allows for efficient reading and writing of information from RF tag 52 using 0. In addition, the main The additional functions of the panel unit 11 enable the handling of information recording media and reading / writing by a reader / writer. This can improve convenience, such as [mention specific convenience].

[0163] In particular, the main panel section 11 has a card support section 11 that supports the IC card 60 as an additional functional section. i is provided, and the IC card 60 supported by this card support part 11i is connected to the reader / writer 20 In order to enable reading and writing of information, separately from document 50, I Regarding the C card 60, the IC card 60 is precisely aligned with the reader / writer 20. There is no need to do anything else; simply support the IC card 60 in the card support section 11i and you can quickly In addition to the ability of the Dalwriter 20 to perform reading and writing, it is supported by the card support section 11i. The IC card 60 is less likely to shift relative to the reader / writer 20, and the reader / writer 20 reads it. This can improve the reliability of the recording and writing process.

[0164] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the main panel portion 11 As an additional functional section, the configuration includes a card support section 11i, a storage section 14, and a storage section 17. However, it is not always necessary to provide all of these additional functional parts; at least one additional part is required. It is also acceptable to have a configuration in which additional functional parts are selectively arranged. For example, as shown in Figure 21, it is also acceptable to have a configuration in which the storage part is omitted.

[0165] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the support base 10 is the object to be supported. As an information recording medium, a document 50 on which information such as text is visibly written on a base sheet 51 is used. While this is the configuration we handle, it is not limited to this, and includes information recording media other than documents. The RF tag is integrated into a sheet of cardboard or other material that does not contain any visible information. The object is supported by a support stand, and information can be read and written to its RF tag using a reader / writer. This configuration is also acceptable. In this case, the front panel of the support base may be made of a transparent or translucent material. The material used is such that, aside from the quality of the supported information recording medium, it is not visible through the front panel. It's okay if it's included.

[0166] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, among the storage section 17, Enclosing parts 17e, 17f, 1 are provided as components that make up the storage section 17a and the middle storage section 17b. 7g, together with the main panel section 11 connected to these surrounding sections 17e, 17f, and 17g, is stored The storage space is continuously surrounded, and the storage space is released from its stored state. The configuration is designed to prevent this from happening, but it is not limited to this, as shown in Figure 22. Furthermore, if it can prevent the stored items from unintentionally coming out of their stored state, intermittently The surrounding portion 17n is formed by the positioned members (ended members), and the area around the stored items is partially enclosed. It is also possible to configure the storage area 17 to store the items to be stored by having a surrounding portion 17n that encloses it. Furthermore, the frame shape of the surrounding part is also roughly trapezoidal when viewed from above, as shown in Figure 3, etc. This is not limited to just those shapes, but also rectangles, squares, circles (and in the case of intermittent arrangements like the one above, U-shapes or C-shapes), etc. It can also be made into other shapes.

[0167] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the main panel of the support base 10 By bringing part 11 and leg part 13 into contact with the installation surface 90, the support base 10 can stand on its own, The configuration is designed to achieve a stable installation state of 0 and be usable for supporting document 50, but support A wall-mounting section with a magnet is provided on the other side of the main panel of the stand, allowing magnets such as iron to be attracted to it. A wall-mounted mounting system in which a support base is attached to a mounting surface such as a wall made of a suitable material via a wall fixing part. It can also be configured for use in a specific state.

[0168] When arranging the wall-mounted section on the support base 10, the leader on the stand is heavy. The ita 20 is located towards one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11, and the center of gravity of the entire stand is the main panel A state in which the center of part 11 is biased towards one of the shorter sides (the left side when viewed from the back side of the main panel part 11) and In response to this, the wall-mounting part is slightly shifted from the center of the main panel 11 to one of its shorter sides. It is positioned and mounted via the wall-mounting part of stand 1, with the wall-mounting part at the desired location. The center of gravity of the entire stand is brought as close as possible, and excessive moments due to the shift in the center of gravity are prevented at the wall mounting point. It is desirable to prevent the trigger from working.

[0169] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the front of the support base 10 The panel section 12 is engaged with the main panel section 11 in a tiltable manner, and the front panel section 12 is connected to the main panel. The configuration is such that a gap 19 is interposed between the two parts 11, but in addition, Regarding the arrangement structure of the front panel section relative to the main panel section, either the main panel section or the front panel section The convex portion on one side fits into the concave portion on the other side, ensuring that they do not shift relative to each other. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that employs a so-called spigot structure. In this case as well, Similar to the embodiment, the front panel is held in a position where it does not move relative to the main panel, and these front panels The document can be restrained and supported between the flannel section and the main panel section, keeping the document in a position where it is less susceptible to external influences. It can be maintained in this state. Also, the front panel can be opened by releasing the fitting between the main panel and the front panel. If you remove the part from the main panel, it will fit into the gap between the front panel and the main panel. Foreign objects that could not be removed can be easily eliminated, and the front panel facing the gap and the main panel It can easily remove dirt, dust, and other debris attached to each surface of the part. This helps to avoid situations where such issues negatively impact the document's support.

[0170] In this way, when moving the front panel relative to the main panel for removal or other purposes, the front panel If there is no tilting of the flannel section, the front panel section faces the bottom plate section of the main panel section. A groove is provided in the area that engages with the bottom plate, and the front panel is fitted together with the main panel. The grooves of the main panel and the bottom plate of the main panel are also engaged, eliminating any unnecessary gaps between the bottom plate and the front panel. It is preferable to have a configuration that prevents this from happening.

[0171] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the front panel portion 12 is provided The design employs a lens section 12f as the part that attracts attention, but is not limited to this. Rather, as an attention-grabbing element, at least a portion of the information section on the document's base should be Other configurations may be used that can assign a predetermined display state to attract attention. For example, the front On the panel section, the front of the area facing the section containing important information on the document, and the surrounding area Alternatively, the design can create differences by raising, lowering, penetrating, or notching areas, thereby drawing attention to information visible through these distinct raised, lowered, penetrating, or notched areas. Another approach is to arrange convex or concave areas in a linear or frame-like pattern near or around the front surface of the area opposite the information display area, drawing attention to these distinct areas and thereby encouraging focus on information visible through them. The attention-grabbing area may be composed of a light-emitting section, such as an LED lamp. Alternatively, a lens may be used to focus light onto the area where attention is to be drawn.

[0172] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the front of the support base 10 Documents 50 are inserted into the gap 19 between the surface panel 12 and the main panel 11, and are supported. The structure is as described above, but in addition, the gap between the front panel and the main panel in the support base Expanding the size, the document, along with its cover, can be inserted into this gap and supported. It is also possible to do this. In this case, without taking the documents out of the cover in which they are normally kept, Supported by a stand, it can be set up to be readable and writable by a reader / writer, allowing for hassle-free document handling. It can read and write information.

[0173] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the reader / writer 20 Aside from positioning the cable 22 below the leg portion 13, there is no particular restraint to the support base 10. In addition, a predetermined portion of the cable 22 that is close to the reader / writer 20 is... With the reader / writer 20 housed in the housing section 14, the support base 10 is the same as the reader / writer 20. It is also possible to configure it to hold and restrain the object so that it does not move.

[0174] For example, the cable 22 of the reader / writer 20 is connected to the housing section 14 of the support base 10. The distance between the second member 14b and the leg portion 13 is set to an appropriate size, such as being approximately the same as the thickness of the cable 22. By placing a portion of the cable 22 between the second member 14b and the leg portion 13, the cable 22 can be clamped and restrained by the second member 14b and the leg portion 13, thereby suppressing unwanted movement of the cable 22.

[0175] Furthermore, on the other side of the main panel section 11 where the reader / writer 20 is installed, One or more locking parts are provided for securing the cable 22 of the TA 20, and the cable is secured to these locking parts. It is also possible to configure it to lock and hold the cable. In this case, the locking part will secure the cable to the main panel. The cable is held along the other surfaces of the main panel, ensuring that it does not become detached from the main panel. Cut.

[0176] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, in the reader / writer 20 The reading and writing of information, and the execution and completion of such operations, are performed by the reader / writer 20. The system is configured to notify the user through the display on the display unit 21, but in addition, the reader / writer After 20 completes reading or writing to the RF tag 52 or IC card 60, a predetermined time elapses Even after the event, the RF tags 52 and IC cards 60 were still within the communication range of the reader / writer 20. The reader / writer 20 detects that the RF tag 52 is located and in a state where it can communicate, and then the RF tag 52 and In situations where it is anticipated that the IC card 60 may be forgotten, a notification of such loss, or a document or A predetermined notification prompting the removal of the IC card is displayed on the display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20, or Other notification means provided in the reader / writer 20 besides the display unit, such as a sound output unit like a buzzer. It can also be done in this way.

[0177] In addition, two or more documents 50 can be inserted into the gap 19 between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11. When an IC card 60 is inserted, or when two or more IC cards 60 are placed on the card support unit 11i, or when supporting documents 50 The reader / writer 20 reads the information and provides support for the IC card 60 simultaneously. If the data cannot be written correctly, that is, if the RF tag 52 or IC card 60 is not working properly, Which multiple communication targets exist within the communication range of the reader / writer 20, and which communicate with the reader / writer 20? When multiple communication channels occur simultaneously, data collisions can occur, making it impossible to maintain normal communication. If the reader / writer 20 detects that the device is in a certain state, it will also communicate information about that state. A predetermined notification indicating knowledge or warning will be made by the display unit 21 of the reader / writer 20, etc., as described above. It is also possible to do so. In this case, the reader / writer 20 can be used with RF tags 52 and IC cards 60 You can also configure it so that no further read or write operations are performed on it. - The reader / writer supports one-to-many communication, and the communication target, such as RF tags or IC cards, is connected to the reader / writer. Even if multiple devices are present within the communication range of the device, as long as they can communicate with a specific communication target without problems and can successfully read and write information to that specific communication target, it is acceptable to have a support stand that supports documents and IC cards simultaneously, or to support multiple documents and IC cards simultaneously.

[0178] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the storage section 17 is large The bottom plate of the storage section 17a is also served by one of the legs 13 that protrude from the main panel section 11, and this leg The main panel section 11 at the front of section 13 has a passage from one side to the storage space of the large storage section 17a. A through-hole, or window section 17l, is provided, and through this window section 17l, the front of the main panel section 11 is visible. The configuration connects the front surface and the upper part of the leg portion 13, but in addition, the leg portion connects the bottom plate portion of the storage section. Even when the storage area is not constructed solely from the legs, it is possible to provide an opening (window section) that is a through-hole leading from the front of the main panel to the top of the legs.

[0179] In this case, foreign objects other than documents may accidentally get stuck in the gap between the front panel and the main panel. In this case, the foreign object is guided through the gap and opening onto the leg portion, allowing the foreign object to be removed from the gap. This is possible. And when a foreign object is guided onto the leg, the leg has a wall-like part that stands up around it. Because of its presence, foreign objects are less likely to escape from the leg and remain on the leg. This allows for the removal of foreign objects without losing sight of them. Note that reference numeral 17t corresponds to this opening (window section) (see Figure 9).

[0180] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the front panel portion 12 The locking piece 12c, which is attached to the upper part of the side plate 12b, has a claw-shaped portion that protrudes laterally from its tip. Then, by bending the locking piece 12c laterally through the engagement hole 11f of the main panel portion 11, This mechanism involves hooking the claw-shaped portion onto the edge of the engagement hole 11f and engaging it, Other functions than holding the front panel portion 12 to the main panel portion 11 by engagement with the engagement hole portion 11f Although it is not configured to have such a feature, in addition, the locking piece for the front panel is provided on the main panel. It can also be configured to be used as part of a storage compartment.

[0181] For example, as shown in Figure 23, the locking piece 12c in the front panel portion 12 is located in the main panel portion 1 With the engagement hole 11f of the locking piece 12c engaged, the main part of the locking piece 12c extends beyond the engagement hole 11f. The portion of the flannel section that protrudes from the other side is positioned opposite to it, extending outwards from the main panel section. Together with the protruding member 17p that is provided to extend outwards, it can form a storage section 17. In this case, storage When an item is placed in section 17, a portion of the locking piece 12c that forms the storage section 17 is located within the storage area of ​​the item. As a result, the locking piece cannot move to release the engagement with the engagement hole 11f. The engagement between 12c and the engagement hole 11f can be reliably maintained, and the front panel portion 12 can be connected to the main panel portion 1 It can be held in a fixed, motionless state relative to 1.

[0182] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the storage section 17 is, for example, large Like the storage section 17a, it is formed by multiple surrounding sections 17e, 17f and a bottom plate section (leg section 13). The design is configured to create a long, vertical storage space that can accommodate long, slender items such as pens. In addition to the above, as shown in Figure 24, between the surrounding portion 17q and the bottom plate portion 17r A continuous wall-like section 17s is provided below, and the storage section 17 is formed including these wall-like sections 17s. It can also be configured so that when storing items, the items stored can be seen through the gaps between the upper and lower surrounding parts. The storage section 17 is more suitable for storing long, narrow items, preventing them from falling out of the gap. This is possible. Furthermore, these storage compartments 17 can be arranged in multiples, not just one. That's fine (see Figure 24).

[0183] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the reader / writer 20 supports When the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the main panel section 1 is viewed from above. The configuration is such that it is partially visible on the back side of 1, but in addition, the main part of the support base Extend the flannel section upwards or backwards, or increase the tilt of the main panel section from its upright position, The position of the housing in the panel section is shifted forward, so that the reader / writer is further forward relative to the support base. The reader / writer is positioned in front of the upper end of the main panel by arranging it on the support base 10. When viewed from above, the reader / writer is hidden by the main panel, and on the back side of the main panel. It is also possible to configure the system so that the reader / writer does not appear.

[0184] In this case, the main panel is located above the reader / writer, and the main panel is above the reader / writer It will function as a kind of protective material from above, and if something falls from above, it will protect the information recording medium. Even if it reaches the stand, the main panel prevents the falling object from hitting the reader / writer, This can help avoid damage or malfunctions caused by collisions with falling objects.

[0185] (Second embodiment of the present invention) An information recording medium stand according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 25 to 36. Next, I will explain. In this embodiment as well, similar to the first embodiment, the document is automatically generated. Supports the vehicle inspection certificate (vehicle registration certificate) and reads and writes information to the RF tag attached to it. This section will explain examples of stands that can perform this action. In each of the above figures, the information recording medium stand 2 according to this embodiment is the first embodiment. Similarly, it comprises a support base 10 and a reader / writer 20, but the difference is that the support base 1 In the case of 0, the configuration employs a main panel section 11 that has been modified in part, including the contents of the additional function section. It is. The information recording medium to be supported by the information recording medium stand 2 according to this embodiment is a book Category 50 is a vehicle inspection certificate, similar to the first embodiment, and is a sheet-type backing. The RF tag 52, which records information, is integrally mounted on 51, and a detailed explanation is omitted. do.

[0186] The support base 10, similar to the first embodiment, comprises a main panel section 11 and a front panel section 1 It has 2, a leg portion 13, and a storage portion 14, but differs in that it does not have a storage portion. In addition, parts of the main panel section 11, leg section 13, and housing section 14 are replaced with those of a different structure. It has the following configuration. The support base 10 is similar to the first embodiment and is close to the leg portion 13 of the main panel portion 11. The end portion and the end portion of the leg portion 13 that is furthest from the main panel portion 11 are brought into contact with the installation surface 90. The document 50 is placed between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. It is possible to restrain and support it between them.

[0187] The main panel portion 11, similar to the first embodiment, is made of a color tone that does not transmit much light. It is a roughly rectangular plate-like body made of plastic, and the state of installation of the support base 10 on the installation surface 90 Therefore, it is held in an orientation with the longer side facing sideways. This main panel portion 11 is the first Similar to the embodiment, the document 50 can be supported from the rear side, and multiple additional functional parts are provided. Therefore, it is configured to have multiple functions. However, unlike the first embodiment, the main panel portion 11 is located on the other side. No storage compartment is provided, and no windows or canopy-like parts related to the storage compartment are provided. Also, the legs 13 and As the structure of the housing section 14 also differs from that of the first embodiment, the main panel section 11 The shapes of those arrangement parts and their surrounding areas will also differ in some respects from those in the first embodiment. . In this main panel section 11, the front panel section 12 is arranged to be tiltable on one side. The support shaft 11c, the movement restricting portion 11d, the vertical groove portion 11e, and the engagement hole portion 11f, etc. The configuration and the base plate portion 11a, opening 11b, and, for supporting the document 50 on one side, The configuration, including the chamfered shape of the corners, is the same as in the first embodiment described above, and details are as follows. I will omit the detailed explanation. Furthermore, the main panel section 11 is in the state where it is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10. In the upper central part when viewed from the front, there is a notch 1, similar to the first embodiment. A notch 1g is provided, but it is configured to have a different arc-shaped (semicircular) notch shape than the first embodiment. However, only the shape is different, and the function provided by this notch 11g is the same as in the first embodiment, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. Furthermore, regarding the display section 11h formed on the upper part of one surface of the main panel section 11, This is the same as the first embodiment described above, and a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0188] In addition, the main panel section 11, as in the first embodiment, includes an IC as one of its additional function sections. A card support section 11m is provided to support the card 60, but the placement and structure may differ. Next, I will explain the card support section 11m in detail.

[0189] The card support portion 11m is on one side of the main panel portion 11, and is on one side of the main panel portion 11. A notch is formed by cutting out a predetermined area adjacent to the edge, corresponding to the size of the IC card 60. This is the length (see Figures 30, 31, and 32). The notched portion that forms this card support section 11m is The IC card 60 contained therein is in the state where the document 50 is supported by the support stand 10. It is installed so as to overlap with the location where the RF tag 52 of type 50 is located. As a result, the card support section 11m holds the IC card 60, and the information on the reader / writer 20... Supports enabling reading and writing of information to this IC card 60. can. This card is supported by the card support section 11m and is the target of information reading and writing by the reader / writer 20. The IC card 60 is, for example, an IC card type driver's license or My Number Card (Individual Number Card). This corresponds to "ID-1" in the ISO / IEC 7810 standard for cards such as barcodes. The card support portion 11m has stepped portions 11n on the back side at the upper and lower edges of the notched portion. Each is provided. The stepped portion 11n is created by creating a step from the edge towards the notched portion. Therefore, these stepped sections 1 are provided continuously in a direction parallel to the long side of the main panel section 11. By fitting into 1n, the IC card 60 is housed in the card support section 11m. The card is secured to the front side of the notched portion that forms the card support section 11m, preventing it from coming off. It is assembled. Furthermore, the reader / writer 20 is located on the back side of the card support section 11m. The IC card 60 is attached to the back side of the card support section 11m by the reader / writer 20 to prevent it from coming off. They are restrained by. Movement is restricted by the stepped portion 11n of this card support portion 11m, relative to the card support portion 11m. The IC card 60 aligns its longitudinal direction with the longitudinal direction of the main panel section 11, and the main panel section It is possible to insert and remove it in the same direction as the longer side of 11. That is, the IC card 60 is supported With the base 10 installed on the mounting surface 90, the card support part 1 is different from the insertion / removal direction of the document 50. For every meter, items will be moved in and out horizontally. The entrance and exit of the card support section 11m in the main panel section 11 is on one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11. Although positioned along the edge, one of the shorter parts of the main panel section 11 is a notch that forms the card support section 11m. The installation range from the edge is made smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the IC card 60. Therefore, the IC card In the state where the IC card 60 is housed, the end of the IC card 60 closer to one of its shorter sides is attached to the card support part 11 It will be positioned outside m and will protrude from the main panel section 11. Specifically, the support base 10 In the state of being installed on the mounting surface 90, the car located to the right when viewed from the front side of the main panel section 11 The IC card 60 housed in the support section 11m has a portion of it that is visible from the front side of the main panel section 11. It protrudes laterally from one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11, which is the right-hand side when viewed from the outside. Thus, even when the IC card 60 is in its stowed state, a portion of it protrudes from the main panel 11. Therefore, the IC card 60 is made easy to grasp with your fingers, and the IC card 60 is extended to the card support section 11m. It is designed to be easily inserted. Furthermore, the entrance / exit portion of the card support section 11m in the main panel section 11 is for IC card 6 To facilitate the insertion and removal of the 0, the main panel section 11 expands vertically towards one of its shorter sides. It is considered to have an expanded shape. This expanded portion extends from one of the shorter sides of the main panel portion 11 to a position beyond the vertical groove portion 11e. It is provided so that even if there is a slight misalignment in the insertion position or direction of the IC card 60, the IC card Guide 60 towards the center of the card support section 11m, and insert it into the card support section 11m without any problems. I try to do that.

[0190] The front panel portion 12 is made of transparent or translucent plastic, similar to the first embodiment. It is formed from a rectangular plate-like body made of plastic, and on one side of the main panel portion 11, the main panel The configuration involves arranging the parts with a predetermined gap 19 in between. However, the front panel portion 12 differs from the first embodiment in that its front side is curved. It is made flat, the lens part is omitted, and in the front view, the IC card 6 is located on the right side. The device has a configuration that allows for the insertion and removal of the number 0 to be provided in a notch 12p. Aside from these points, the front panel portion 12 has the same configuration as in the first embodiment described above. Therefore, a detailed explanation will be omitted. The front panel portion 12 has a front surface that does not face the main panel portion 11, which is convex forward. It is formed in a gently curved shape, and does not have a protruding portion like the lens portion in the first embodiment. It has a smooth surface. The front panel section 12, when viewed from the front, is on the right side when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90. The side portion and the side plate 12b that protrudes from the end of this side portion toward the main panel portion are continuous A notch 12p is provided. This notch 12p is located in the card support portion 1 of the main panel portion 11. The area covered from the front by the front panel section 12 is reduced by 1m, and it fits into the card support section 11m. This facilitates frontal access to the IC card 60 and the card support section 11m. It serves to facilitate the handling of the IC card 60, such as inserting and removing it. Of the side plates 12b that protrude from the end of the front panel portion 12, the main part is... The end of the flannel section 11 facing the card support section 11m is connected to the card support section 11m, which is the IC card 6 To avoid obstructing the insertion of the 0, a gap is created between the card support section 11m and the IC card 60 for the card to pass through. On the other hand, when the IC card 60 is supported by the card support part 11m, the IC card To prevent a gap from forming between the card 60 and the side plate 12b, a predetermined amount of protrusion is made toward the card support part 11m. The protruding portion 12k is (see Figures 30, 32, and 36). And this side plate 12b end The gap between the protruding part 12k and the reader / writer 20 located on the back side of the card support part 11m. The resulting opening is when inserting the IC card 60 into the card support part 11m. This is the slot for inserting the IC card 60. The protruding part 12k is used to secure the IC card 60 to the card support part 11m. If a stackable stepped portion 11n is not provided, the IC card inserted into the card support portion 11m The card 60 is restrained from the front and properly supported by the card support section 11m and the reader / writer 20 It also serves the role of holding the IC card 60 so that it does not move from its position.

[0191] The leg portion 13, like in the first embodiment, is made of plastic and is arranged to protrude from the main panel portion 11 on the other side of the main panel portion 11. However, it differs in that it is formed as a simple rod-shaped body. As shown in Figures 26 to 30, a foot portion 13a is attached to the distal end of the leg portion 13 relative to the main panel portion 11, that is, the end that abuts against the installation surface 90. This foot portion 13a is made of a material that has properties that make it difficult to slip against the installation surface 90, such as rubber or elastomer, in order to prevent the leg portion 13 from shifting relative to the installation surface 90 and to stabilize the installation state of the support base 10. However, if a non-slip state can be ensured relative to the installation surface 90, the foot portion may be omitted, and the leg portion may be in direct contact with the installation surface 90.

[0192] The housing portion 14 is, similar to the first embodiment, on the other side of the main panel portion 11 It is positioned at a predetermined location near one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11 and is capable of housing the reader / writer 20. On the other hand, one difference is that the components surrounding the reader / writer 20 for housing are shaped It has a configuration in which the shape or structure has been changed or replaced. The housing section 14 extends from the upper end of the predetermined portion on another surface of the main panel section 11 to the main panel section 1 An upper member 14f is formed extending in the direction of the shorter side of 1, and the main panel portion 1 extends from the lower end of the predetermined portion. The configuration includes a lower member 14g that extends in the direction of the shorter side of 1. The reader / writer 20 is located in the housing area surrounded by the upper member 14f and the lower member 14g. The reading surface 25 can be housed in a configuration where it is aligned with the other surfaces of the main panel 11. The upper member 14f and the lower member 14g form the housing section 14, and the reader / writer 20 has a length Align the hand direction with the long side direction of the main panel 11, and the same orientation as the long side direction of the main panel 11. It is designed to be easily inserted and removed, and when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the reader / writer 20 is Unlike the insertion and removal direction of the document 50, it is inserted and removed in the same horizontal direction from the horizontal storage section 14. This will happen. However, the entrance and exit for the reader / writer in the housing section 14 is on one of the shorter sides of the main panel section 11. It is positioned, and the length of the storage area of ​​the storage section 14 is the longitudinal dimension of the reader / writer 20. Because it is smaller, in the housing state of the reader / writer 20, One of the shorter sides will have a predetermined area that extends beyond the main panel section 11. Specifically, With the support base 10 installed on the mounting surface 90, the main panel section 11 is positioned slightly to the right when viewed from the front. The reader / writer 20 housed in the designated housing section 14 has a predetermined range portion closer to one of its shorter sides. When viewed from the front side of the main panel 11, it extends laterally from one of the shorter sides of the main panel 11, which is the right side. put out. When the housing section 14 is installed on the mounting surface 90 of the support base 10, the housing section 14 is in the vertical direction The center of the support base 10 is in the upper and lower parts of the main panel section 11, specifically the parts other than the housing section. The position is approximately the same as the center position of the direction. However, this is not the only option, and the storage section 1 It is also possible to arrange the 4 such that its vertical center is located below the aforementioned center position. In this case, the relatively heavy reader / writer 20 is housed in the information recording medium stand 1. Position it as low as possible to lower the center of gravity of the entire stand, and the information recording medium The stand 1 can be made stable and less likely to tip over. The upper member 14f and lower member 14g forming the housing section 14 are made of the same material as the main panel section 11. It is a plastic component. The upper member 14f of the housing section 14 is, when viewed from the rear side of the main panel section 11, the main panel section A portion formed extending from the upper end of the predetermined part of 11 in the direction of the short side of the main panel part 11, and A portion extending from the right end of a predetermined part in the direction of the long side of the main panel part 11 is connected and integrated with it. The structure is formed in a roughly L-shape. This upper member 14f is the housing part of the reader / writer 20. In the housing state of 14, a portion of the end face (upper end face) on one of the longer sides of the reader / writer 20 and the A portion of the other short side end face (right end face) of the Dalwriter 20 and the reading in the Reader / Writer 20 So that they overlap with parts of the opposite side of the handle surface 25, that is, overlapping from three sides. It will be installed. Furthermore, the lower member 14g, when viewed from the rear side of the main panel 11, is The configuration extends a predetermined length from the lower end of the predetermined portion in the direction of the shorter side of the main panel portion 11. With the reader / writer 20 housed, the other long side end face (lower end face) of the reader / writer 20 Part of it overlaps with a portion of the opposite side of the reading surface 25 in the reader / writer 20. They are arranged in such a way that they overlap from two sides. Thus, the upper member 14f and the lower member 14g forming the housing section 14 are in a housing state. By overlapping with each side of the writer 20, the reader / writer 20 is the one that inserts and removes it. It is restrained in a state where it cannot be moved in any direction other than in that direction. The housing section 14 is composed of an upper member 14f and a lower member 14g, and a gap is created between each member. As a result of this, when the reader / writer 20 is housed in the housing section 14, the reader / writer 20 The cable 22 connected to it is passed through the gap and moved from inside the housing 14 to outside the housing 14 without any force. It can be pulled out easily, and even when the cable 22 is directly connected to the reader / writer 20, the reader / writer The 20 is housed in the housing section 14 without any problems, and the cable 22 is connected outside the housing section 14. It can be handled without any problems. In the housing section 14, the upper member 14f is opposite the reading surface 25 of the reader / writer 20. For some designated areas of the side surface that overlap, for example, these designated areas and the main panel The gap between the other surfaces of the lu portion 11 should be approximately the same as the thickness of the main body portion of the reader / writer 20. By providing a spacer of a predetermined thickness or forming a protrusion that extends toward the reader / writer, The area for housing the reader / writer 20 is limited, and the reader / writer 20 is placed in the main panel section 11 when it is housed. It is also possible to configure it so that it does not move in the front-to-back direction, and the reader / writer 20 A stable housing state can be achieved. The shape and number of components constituting the housing section 14 should be set according to the shape of the reader / writer. Spacers or protrusions may also be provided on predetermined parts of the lower member 14g that face the side opposite to the reading surface 25 of the reader / writer 20.

[0193] The reader / writer 20 records to the RF tag 52, similar to the first embodiment. The system allows for contactless reading and writing of information, and is supported by a support base 10. The configuration is such that the RF tag 52 of the document 50 is positioned on the support base 10 facing it. The configuration of this reader / writer 20 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore, the explanation is omitted. To abbreviate. The reader / writer 20 is housed in a housing 14 on the other side of the main panel portion 11 of the support base 10. In contrast, the surface that becomes the reading surface 25 is cut as the card support part 11m of the main panel part 11. It is housed in a way that allows it to be inserted and removed, facing the notched portion. This allows the reader / writer 2 0 is positioned on the support base 10 in an immovable state, and the writing is in a state supported by the support base 10. The RF tag 52 in type 50 is positioned via the notch in the main panel section 11. This system ensures that the RF tag 52 on document 50 can communicate with the document 50 without any problems. Furthermore, the reader / writer 20 does not have the document 50 supported on the support base 10, and instead the main panel If the IC card 60 is supported by the card support portion 11m of the flannel portion 11, then read The IC card 60, which is directly opposite surface 25, communicates with the IC card 60 and reads information and information The writing process is made possible.

[0194] Next, the usage state of the information recording medium stand according to this embodiment will be described.

While 11r is newly provided, the middle storage section of the storage section 17 is not provided on the other side. No windows are provided in relation to this storage compartment. Also, the shape of part of the storage compartment 14 and storage compartment 17 As the shape differs from that of the first embodiment, the peripheral shapes of the main panel portion 11 The appearance will also differ in some respects from that of the first embodiment described above.

[0199] On both sides of one surface of the main panel portion 11, there are vertical groove portions 1, similar to the first embodiment. 1e and the engagement hole portion 11f are provided, while in addition, the bottom plate portion 1 within the vertical groove portion 11e A restricting piece 11r is provided that protrudes from a predetermined location near 1a in a direction approximately perpendicular to one surface. In the main panel portion 11, the restricting piece 11r on one side and the restricting piece 11r on the other side The spacing between them is the same as the spacing between the vertical grooves 11e where the regulating pieces 11r are provided, and is used as an information recording medium. The horizontal dimension of the document 50 is set to be greater than or equal to the gap between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. The 19 is sized to comfortably support and allow easy insertion and removal of 50 documents. The thickness (lateral dimension) of the restricting piece 11r is preferably less than or equal to the groove width of the longitudinal groove 11e. Furthermore, the restricting piece 11r has a shape in which the upper part is inclined downward, and the document 50 is placed in a gap 1 When inserting into 9 and moving downwards, if document 50 hits the top of the restrictor piece 11r However, since it is guided downward along the slope, the document 50 is not obstructed by the restricting piece 11r. It is less likely to be in a state where it can be lifted, and the document 50 is supported between the front panel section 12 and the main panel section 11. The state can be smoothly transitioned to. In this embodiment, the restricting piece 11r is formed in a trapezoidal rib shape when viewed from the side.

[0200] For arranging the front panel section 12 to be tiltable on one side of the main panel section 11 The structure includes a support shaft 11c, a movement restricting portion 11d, a longitudinal groove portion 11e, and an engagement hole portion 11f. or, a base plate portion 11a, an opening 11b, and a notch portion 1 for supporting the document 50 on one side. Regarding 1g and the configuration such as the chamfered shape of the corners, except for the restrictive piece 11r mentioned above, This is the same as the first embodiment described, and a detailed explanation is omitted. Furthermore, the display section 11h formed on the upper part of one surface of the main panel section 11 is also as follows: This is the same as the first embodiment described, and a detailed explanation is omitted. Furthermore, the main panel section 11, as in the first embodiment, includes an IC as one of its additional function sections. A card support section 11i is provided to support the card 60, while this card support section 11i Some components differ from those of the first embodiment. However, the first embodiment The difference from the standard is that the upper and lower edges of the recessed portion forming the card support part 11i are provided. The only difference is that the number of protrusions 11j is one each; all other points are as described in the first example above. Since it will be the same as the mounting form, a detailed explanation of this card support part 11i will also be provided. Omitted.

[0201] In addition, multiple ribs 11s, which are continuous convex portions, can be formed on other surfaces of the main panel portion 11 to reinforce the main panel portion 11. The ribs 11s are densely arranged on the other surfaces of the main panel portion 11, particularly in the area above the housing portion 14 (see Figure 40). This is based on the fact that a card support portion 11i is provided on one side and a housing portion 14 is provided on the other side, so the portion of the main panel portion 11 sandwiched between these card support portion 11i and housing portion 14 is thinner than other parts, and the strength against bending etc. which is reduced due to this thinning is compensated for by increasing the strength of the area where the upper ribs 11s are located.

[0202] The front panel portion 12 is made of transparent or translucent plastic, similar to the first embodiment. It is formed from a rectangular plate-like body made of plastic, and on one side of the main panel portion 11, the main panel The configuration involves arranging the parts with a predetermined gap 19 in between. However, the front panel section 12 differs from the first embodiment in that the side plate 12b has a main The panel section is given a shape corresponding to the restricting piece 11r, and the lens section 12f is arranged on the front side. The area has been reduced, and furthermore, a notch for inserting and removing the IC card 60 has been added to the right side when viewed from the front. It has a configuration that allows for the provision of section 12p. Aside from these points, the front panel portion 12 has the same configuration as in the first embodiment described above. Therefore, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0203] Furthermore, the lens section 12f is also different from that of the first embodiment, and the front panel section 1 The only change is that the area to be positioned on the front side of 2 has been reduced; all other points are as described in the previous version. Since the details are the same as in the embodiment, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0204] The side plate 12b of the front panel section 12 has an end portion of the vertical groove 1 of the main panel section 11. In a state of engagement with 1e, to avoid contact with the restricting piece 11r provided in the longitudinal groove 11e Furthermore, a recess 12o into which the restricting piece 11r can be inserted is provided at a position corresponding to the restricting piece 11r. When the end of the side plate 12b is engaged with the vertical groove 11e, the recess 12o of the side plate 12b is restricted. The piece 11r is inserted relative to the side plate 12b, avoiding contact of the restricting piece 11r with any part of the side plate 12b other than the recess. This allows the side plate 12b to engage with the vertical groove 11e without any problems, and the side plate 12b and the main panel This allows for a state where no gap is created between the part 11 and the other part.

[0205] Furthermore, with the end of the side plate 12b engaged with the vertical groove 11e of the main panel portion 11, the recess 12o The regulating piece 11r inserted therein is positioned so that it does not protrude laterally from the side plate 12b. Therefore, there is no risk that the restrictive piece 11r will become an obstacle when inserting it into the gap 19 of the document 90. .

[0206] Furthermore, if the front panel 12 that was removed from the main panel 11 is lost, The flannel section 11 is left with the front panel section 12 removed, and the side plate 12 of the front panel section 12 Even if restraint by b becomes impossible, the main panel portion 11 equipped with the restricting piece 11r can still be used to write The document 50 can maintain a state where it is less likely to shift sideways, and the displacement of the document 50 relative to the reader / writer 20 is suppressed. Furthermore, the reliability of reading and writing by the reader / writer 20 to the RF tag 52 of document 50 can be ensured. ru.

[0207] The front panel section 12, when viewed from the front, is on the right side when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90. The side portion and the side plate 12b that protrudes from the end of this side portion toward the main panel portion are continuous A notch 12p is provided. This notch 12p is located in the card support portion 1 of the main panel portion 11. The area covered from the front by the front panel section 12 is reduced, allowing the card support section 11i to be accommodated. This facilitates front access to the IC card 60 and the card support section 11i. It serves to facilitate the handling of the IC card 60, such as inserting and removing it.

[0208] Furthermore, the attention-grabbing section, particularly the lens section 12f, protrudes convexly from the front side of the front panel section 12. In this case, when the support base 10 is installed on the mounting surface 90, the front panel portion 12 Applying force to open the front panel 12 beyond the opening angle defined by the projection 12e, the front panel 12 is moved forward. When tilted to its maximum extent, the lens portion 12f of the front panel portion 12 comes into contact with the mounting surface 90, There is a risk of scratching the lens portion 12f. To prevent such damage to the lens portion, It is preferable to provide a forward-projecting protrusion 12g at a predetermined location on the front panel or side plate, for example, as shown in Figure 41, near the upper front edge of the front panel or on the upper front edge of the side plate (near the lower end of the tapered portion). In this case, if the document 50 is moved downward from above and attempted to be supported in the gap between the front panel 12 and the main panel 11, but the document 50 does not fit into the gap, the protrusion 12g will hit the document 50 and prevent it from moving forward of the front panel 12. Alternatively, the front end surface of the side plate may be positioned in front of the front surface of the front panel, while the lens portion may be positioned behind such protrusions or the front end surface of the side plate.

[0209] The leg portion 13 is formed as a shallow, roughly box-shaped body made of plastic, similar to the first embodiment. Furthermore, it is arranged on the other side of the main panel portion 11 so as to protrude from the main panel portion 11. On the other hand, the length of the protrusion from the main panel portion 11 is different from that of the first embodiment. However, the difference from the first embodiment is the protruding length from the main panel portion 11. That is the only difference; in all other respects, it is the same as the first embodiment described above. Detailed explanation of this leg portion 13 will also be omitted.

[0210] The housing section 14 is the same as in the first embodiment, on the other side of the main panel section 11 It is positioned at a predetermined location near one of the shorter sides of the panel section 11 and is capable of housing the reader / writer 20. Meanwhile, the main panel portion 11 is attached to the predetermined location at predetermined intervals in the short-side direction. The shapes of the first member 14a and the second member 14b are made to be different from those of the first embodiment. That is what it was. Regarding this housing section 14, the first member 14a in the state of being housed in the housing section 14 - An elongated shape when viewed from the back side of the main panel section 11, which overlaps with the end face of one of the longer sides of the Drawer 20. The rectangular portion and the leader in the second member 14b when housed in the housing 14. A long, narrow rectangular section, viewed from the back of the main panel section 11, that overlaps with the other long side end face of the Ita 20. Except for the fact that the parts that make up the portion are made slightly longer than in the first embodiment, Since the details are the same as in the embodiment, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0211] The storage section 17, as in the first embodiment, is connected to the other side and side end of the main panel section 11. It is provided in such a way that it can accommodate a predetermined item to be stored. The storage section 17, similar to the first embodiment, includes a large storage section 17a and a small storage section 17c. While it includes a hook portion 18, the difference is that the inner storage portion is omitted and the hook portion 18 is separate. It has a structure formed in the shape of [this shape]. The storage section 17 is large, except for the fact that the middle storage section has been omitted and the shape of the hook section 18 has been changed. The configurations of the storage section 17a and the small storage section 17c are the same as in the first embodiment described above. Therefore, I will omit detailed explanations other than the differences. The hook portion 18 has a base portion 18c that protrudes from the side end of the main panel portion 11, and this base portion 18c At the distal end of the main panel portion 11, the base portion 18c is provided to protrude vertically. The configuration includes a protruding piece 18d provided therein.

[0212] The usage status of the information recording medium stand according to this embodiment is almost the same as the first embodiment described above. Since the form is the same, when storing an item to be stored in the hook portion 18 of the storage portion 17 I will only explain that. For the hook portion 18, a key with a ring-shaped keychain attached is attached to the upper protruding piece 18d. Or, an item with a ring-shaped part, such as a rubber band, can be hung to store it, or around the base 18c It can be used to wrap around long, flexible items such as cables, or large rings such as large diameter rubber bands. It can be used to store items by hanging them on it. Compared to the case where the hook portion is made of a hook-shaped member as in the first embodiment, the main panel portion A combination of a base 18c and a protruding piece 18d, with a larger connection area to the side end to ensure strength. By forming the hook portion 18 in this way, the hook portion 18 can withstand a larger load from the stored item. This allows for improved usability as a storage area.

[0213] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the first embodiment and Similarly, the main panel portion 11 and leg portion 13 of the support base 10 are brought into contact with the installation surface 90, and the support base 10 By making it self-supporting, a stable installation state of the support base 10 is obtained, and it can be used to support the documents 50. The configuration is as described above, but in addition, a hole for wall mounting is provided in the support base 10, and a string is passed through this hole. It can be hung on a hook attached to the wall, or supported by passing a hook through the hole in the wall. By hanging the base 10 directly on a hook, the stand for the information recording medium can be used as the mounting surface. It can also be configured to be used as a wall-mounted unit. In this case, the wall-mounting hole 16 is provided on the upper part of the main panel section 11, as shown in Figure 37. It can be provided in part of the storage section 17. The string passed through this wall-hanging hole 16 is attached to the wall. When using a stand for information recording media by hanging it on a rack, etc., the legs 13 on the support base 10 With the rear side facing the wall, the main panel section 11 is compared to the installation state on the installation surface 90. Adopting a forward-leaning posture improves the stability of the information recording medium stand, which is preferable. Additionally, when attaching the string to the hook, wrap the string around the hook two or three times. The increased friction between the string and the hook makes the string less likely to slip, thus increasing the stability of the support. It seems so. Furthermore, when the string passed through hole 16 is hung on a hook or the like, the string is above the reader / writer 20. It is located such that, for example, a string can be hung on a hook attached to the side of a desk to serve as a stand for recording information media. When used, the string will function as a kind of protective material above the reader / writer 20. Even if an object were to fall from the desk and land on the stand for the information storage device, the string would still catch the falling object. This prevents the writer 20 from being hit, thus preventing damage or malfunction of the reader / writer 20 due to collision with falling objects. This can help avoid problems such as those mentioned above.

[0214] Furthermore, in the information recording medium stand according to the above embodiment, the rear side of the main panel portion 11 The legs 13 and storage compartment 17 provided therein are in the direction of the documents 50 supported by the support base 10 when installed. The structure is formed primarily with consideration for the stability of the support base 10 and the storage capacity of the stored items. However, in addition, when packaging the stand for the information recording medium, see Figures 42 to 44. As shown, it corresponds to the size of the packaging 70 for the reader / writer 20, which is packaged separately from the support base 10. The legs 13 and storage section 1 are positioned so that a space is created on the rear side of the support base 10 (main panel section 11). It is also possible to configure it to include a 7.

[0215] Conversely, the box-shaped packaging 70 obtained by covering the reader / writer 20 with a predetermined packaging material is The width and height of this packaging body 70 are such that the legs 13 and storage section 17 are arranged on the rear side of the main panel section 11. It fits within the range of the remaining area excluding the designated area, and the depth of the packaging body 70 is within the range of the main panel of the leg section 13. The amount of protrusion from the lug section 11 and the amount of protrusion from the main panel section 11 of the housing section 14 are smaller than the difference between these two amounts. This configuration allows the reader / writer 20's packaging 70 to be housed on the back side of the support base 10, enabling the support base 10 to be packaged together with the reader / writer 20, thus making the overall packaging of the stand more compact. Furthermore, the packaging 70 of the reader / writer 20 is placed on the rear side of the support base 10 and is supported from below by the legs 13. By providing support, the packaging 70 is kept in a stable supported state while being packaged together with the support base 10. This condition is achieved, and the support of the packaging body 70 is not taken into consideration when packaging the entire stand. This allows for simpler and more cost-effective packaging.

[0216] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the stand for the information recording medium may have a configuration in which the main panel does not have a storage section, but a card support section is provided. In this case, the lateral dimension of the main panel can be reduced to match the size of the IC card. The insertion and removal directions of the reader / writer and the IC card (information recording medium) may be the same or different. The reader / writer may be inserted in the up-and-down direction and the IC card in the left-and-right direction, the reader / writer may be inserted in the left-and-right direction and the IC card in the up-and-down direction, or both the reader / writer and the IC card may be inserted in the up-and-down direction or the left-and-right direction. The reader / writer and the IC card may be inserted and removed from the left side. The longitudinal direction of the reader / writer and the IC card may be aligned with the vertical direction of the stand for the information recording medium (main panel).

[0217] The information recording medium disclosed in the first to third embodiments described above The stand is based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Among the 17 goals outlined in the SDGs, for example, "Goal 9: Strengthen infrastructure, promote industry and foster innovation." Kuro (building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and innovation) (Promoting) and "12: Responsible Consumption and Production (Ensuring Sustainable Production and Consumption Patterns)" It is expected to contribute to achieving certain goals, such as "[...]."
