These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be named the first component.

[0031] The definitions of terms used in this specification may vary depending on the context and must be determined by referring to the entire content of the specification.

[0032] Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0033] First, a souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 5.

[0034] FIGS. 1 to 5 are drawings for explaining a souvenir accessory according to another embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 1 shows the exterior of the assembled state, FIG. 2 shows the main components separated, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the exterior of the assembled state, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken at a position past the tab, and FIG. 5 is a detailed view of part 'A' of FIG. 4.

[0035] A souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention can be configured by placing an insert unit (20) inside a case (10) and assembling a window (30) into the case (10).

[0036] The above case (10) may be provided with an elastic material, and the overall shape is formed in the form of a box with an open top, and a receiving portion (12) is provided inside.

[0037] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the case (10) may be formed with a rugging (13) protruding vertically from the wall with respect to the inner bottom surface (11).

[0038] The case (10) of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is shown in the shape of a square box, and shows an example in which rugging (13) protrudes at four corners.

[0039] Meanwhile, the case (10) is provided with an elastic material so that when a component is inserted into the receiving portion (12) of the case (10), the component is not arbitrarily separated and remains in an assembled state. Additionally, the rim of the case (10) can be forcibly opened to separate the inserted component at the consumer's will.

[0040] The above case (10) may be made of an elastic material, for example, plastic or metal. Additionally, the above case (10) may have an angle (a) that is inclined toward the receiving portion (12) of the edge wall (16) as shown in FIG. 5. By having the angle (a) inclined toward the receiving portion (12), a restraining force can be implemented to prevent the window (30) from being arbitrarily separated after assembly. The angle (a) may be an acute angle.

[0041] The above insert unit (20) can be made of paper material, and a content shape (22) can be formed on the content plate (21).

[0042] The above content shape (22) may have a design printed on the surface of the content plate (21), may have a three-dimensional effect by protruding or sinking along the shape of the design, and may have a three-dimensional shape by being physically cut along the edge of the design.

[0043] Additionally, the insert unit (20) may have a cutout (13a) formed at a position corresponding to the rugging (13) to be coupled with the rugging (13). The cutout (13a) may be formed, for example, in a concave shape.

[0044] The insert unit (20) is received in the receiving portion (12) as shown in FIGS. 1, FIGS. 3 and FIGS. 4.

[0045] The above window (30) may be provided with a transparent material and may be assembled in the receiving portion (12) of the above case (10). To further explain, the case (10) and the window (30) may be assembled within the elastic limit range of the case (10) so that the case (10) does not undergo plastic deformation.

[0046] Thus, unless the user intentionally opens the case (10), the window (30) is not arbitrarily separated or detached.

[0047] In addition, the window (30) allows the insert unit (20) to be visible from the outside.

[0048] Additionally, the window (30) may have a cutout (13b) formed at a position symmetrical to the rugging (13) formed in the case (10). The cutout (13b) is formed concavely so that the rugging (13) can be assembled. Thus, the window (30) can be aligned and assembled to the case (10).

[0049] The insert unit is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6 through 8.

[0050] FIGS. 6 to 8 are drawings for explaining the configuration of an insert unit, FIG. 6 is an unfolded view, FIG. 7 shows the state of the content plate being cut out from the original plate and folded once, and FIG. 8 shows the state of the content plate being folded twice.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 6, the insert unit (20) can be formed by cutting from the original plate (20a) on which the cutting line is formed.

[0052] The consumer can receive the original plate (20a), cut out the insert unit (20) along the cutting line, and participate in the process of forming the insert unit (20) in this way. That is, the insert unit (20) can be formed by the user participating in actions such as cutting, separating, coloring, and assembling, and this process can be used for making learning in which children, adolescents, tourists, and general consumers participate.

[0053] FIG. 6 shows an example in which the content plate (21) is arranged in an L-shape on three sides by the first, second, and third plates (24, 25, 26).

[0054] The number of plates can be increased according to the requirements of the manufacturing client, for example, plates can be provided with four or more sides, in which case the plates can be arranged in a straight line instead of in an L-shape.

[0055] To explain the insert unit (20) in more detail, a plurality of scoring lines (23) may be formed on the original plate (20a) in the form of a cardboard. The scoring lines (23) are formed by folding the cardboard at a desired position, for example, by pressing firmly with a knife to form grooves.

[0056] Based on the scoring line (23), the content plate (21) is formed on one side and the spacer wall (27) is formed on the other side.

[0057] Afterwards, the insert unit (20) is folded at a right angle along the scoring line (23).

[0058] When one of the content plates (21) is arranged in a horizontal direction, the spacer wall (27) may be arranged in an upper vertical direction or a lower vertical direction with respect to the content plate (21).

[0059] That is, when the insert unit (20) is folded along the scoring line (23), the multiple content plates (21) become parallel, and the spacer wall (27) can maintain the spacing or height position between the content plates (21).

[0060] Here, conventional three-dimensional picture frames required components such as separate frames or supports to maintain a gap between picture panels, but the souvenir accessory of the present invention has a spacer wall (27) that performs the gap-maintaining function without separate components.

[0061] Figure 7 shows the first plate (24) folded downwards toward the second plate (25).

[0062] FIG. 8 shows the third plate (26) folded over the second plate (25).

[0063] Afterwards, when the outermost spacer wall (27) is folded, the insert unit (20) is formed in the shape of a roughly rectangular prism as shown in FIG. 2.

[0064] The insert unit (20), folded into a rectangular shape, is placed into the receiving portion (12) of the case (10) as described above. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that some of the spacer walls (27) maintain the gap between the first plate (24) and the second plate (25), some of the spacer walls (27) maintain the gap between the second plate (25) and the third plate (26), and some of the spacer walls (27) maintain the gap between the inner bottom surface (11) and the third plate (26).

[0065] The size of the spacer wall (27) can be adjusted in height according to the creator's intention, thereby allowing the distance between the content plates (21) to be adjusted, which has the effect of making the three-dimensional effect more clearly emphasized when the user observes the content shape (22).

[0066] In particular, depending on the angle from which the user observes the souvenir accessory, visual changes such as the direction of light, shadows, and perspective can be perceived more effectively, and parallax effects can also be emphasized depending on the viewing angle.

[0067] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned content shape (22) can be customized according to the creator's request and, for example, can be designed and produced as a tourist attraction landscape, city symbol, corporate symbol, etc., and can be applied and utilized in various products such as corporate promotional items, tourist souvenirs, and children's craft tools.

[0068] On the other hand, a souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a plurality of tabs (14) formed to protrude into the inside of the case (10), as shown in FIG. 2. The cross-sectional shape of the tabs (14) can be seen in detail in FIG. 5.

[0069] After the above window (30) is assembled into the above case (10), the detachment is more reliably prevented by the above tab (14), and when the case (10) is forcibly opened according to the user's will, the window (30) comes out of the tab (14) so ​​that the window (30) can be separated.

[0070] On the other hand, in the souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 5, the case (10) may have a step (15) formed on the inside of the rim.

[0071] The step (15) allows the window (30) to be placed on it, so that even if the window (30) is pressed due to the user's carelessness, the window (30) does not slide into the receiving portion (12). That is, the step (15) can prevent the insert unit (20) from collapsing due to the window (30).

[0072] The souvenir accessory according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above has the advantage of being easy to implement production automation and not requiring special tools or a large number of personnel, as the insert unit (20) is produced by printing a design on a single sheet of plate, cutting, and forming a folding line (scoring line).

[0073] In addition, the souvenir accessory according to the embodiment of the present invention has the effect of making transportation convenient and reducing distribution costs by manufacturing and distributing the insert unit (20) in an unfolded state.

[0074] A souvenir accessory according to another embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 9 through 11.

[0075] FIGS. 9 through 11 are drawings for explaining a souvenir accessory according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a separate view of the main components, FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken past the tab, and FIG. 11 is a detailed view of part 'B' of FIG. 10.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 9, the insert unit (20) can be provided with the content plate (21) separated into first, second, and third plates (24, 25, 26), and can implement content that creates a three-dimensional effect by stacking the first, second, and third plates (24, 25, 26) in the order of the receiving portion (12).

[0077] For example, the first plate (24) may have a shape of content for the background formed thereon. The first plate (24) is placed at the innermost part of the receiving portion (12), and a design of the landscape or background visible furthest away may be printed or formed in intaglio or relief.

[0078] The second plate (25) may be provided in the form of a cardboard, and a plurality of scoring lines (23) may be formed. Based on the scoring lines (23), a content shape may be formed on one side and a spacer wall (27) may be formed on the other side.

[0079] The second plate (25) can be folded at a right angle along the scoring line (23), and the spacer wall (27) maintains the spacing or height position between the content plates (21).

[0080] The above third plate (26) can have a content shape formed on it.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 11, a first plate (24), a second plate (25), and a third plate (26) can be inserted in order into the receiving portion (12) of the case (10).

[0082] Meanwhile, the content shape (22) formed on the first plate (24) and the content formed on the second plate (26) can be accurately aligned. The reason they can be accurately aligned is that the first plate (24) and the second plate (25) can be aligned in the correct position by being assembled to the rugging (13) formed on the case (10) described above and the cutout (13a) formed on the insert unit (20).

[0083] Additionally, the content shape (22) formed on the second plate (25) and the content shape (22) formed on the third plate (26) can be accurately aligned. The reason they can be accurately aligned is that the second plate (25) and the third plate (26) can be aligned in the correct position by being assembled to the rugging (13) formed on the case (10) described above and the cutout (13a) formed on the insert unit (20).

[0084] In addition, the souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention can be configured such that, as shown in FIG. 11, the step (15) is placed so that the window (30) and the third plate (26) are stacked on top of each other.

[0085] This prevents the second plate (25) from collapsing when pressure is applied to the window (30), and the step (15) is covered by the third plate (26) so that the step (15) cannot be recognized or seen from the outside with the naked eye, and the outline of the insert unit (20) can be seen neatly.

[0086] In other words, the souvenir accessory according to the embodiment of the present invention has the effect of making an appearance that might otherwise look messy or unnatural appear more aesthetically pleasing by concealing components that do not necessarily need to be seen by the consumer.

[0087] On the other hand, in the souvenir accessory according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 11, a magnet (40) may be installed on the outside of the case (10).

[0088] The above magnet (40) can attach the case (10) to a ferrous metal. For example, the case (10) can be attached and fixed to a refrigerator, door, steel structure, etc., and thereby the souvenir accessory can be used as an interior decoration item.
