Abstract
Description
[0001] The utility model relates to consumer goods, in particular to frames for displaying and storing children's drawings, photographs or other flat images.
[0002] The information frame is a rectangular structure consisting of side walls with grooves and end projections on the inner surface. These end projections ensure that information sheets are secured within the frame. The frame is equipped with a movable front wall and a fixed rear wall. The front wall has an opening and can be moved within the frame from the end projections to the grooves on the inner side walls. The fixed rear wall is equipped with four holes for mounting the frame to the wall in a horizontal or vertical position. One of the holes on the rear wall and the hole on the front movable wall are through-holes, allowing for manipulation and retrieval of information materials within the frame. Two springs, selectively connected to each other, are located between the front movable wall and the fixed rear wall and are used to shift the front wall.The novelty of this design is that the rear fixed wall is inserted into the grooves on the inner side surfaces of the body, which makes the frame non-disassemblable.
[0003] The technical result that the utility model is aimed at achieving is to increase the strength of the structure.
[0004] The utility model relates to consumer goods, in particular to frames for displaying and storing children's drawings, photographs or other flat images.
[0005] A frame for information material is known, which includes a housing made of a polymer material, provided with grooves made on the inner side surface of the housing, a substrate made integral with the housing, and also glass made of a transparent polymer material, provided with projections that are located in the grooves of the housing, characterized in that a central through hole is made in the substrate (analog - Russian Federation patent No. 147128, IPC A47G 1 / 00 (2006.01), 2014).
[0006] The disadvantage is that the frame is not designed to accommodate several sheets of information material at the same time, such as children's drawings, photographs, etc., which reduces the quality of the presentation, as it requires a lot of time to remove and replace the information material.
[0007] A frame is known, comprising: a housing having a perimeter frame and a central opening; said housing has a predetermined depth; a front support panel adapted and configured to selectively engage said housing and pass inside said housing through said predetermined depth; a rear support panel, which is selectively connected to the rear part of the housing; and at least one biasing element located between said rear support panel and said front support panel and selectively connected to them; wherein said at least one biasing element is adapted and configured to bias said front support panel into a first position relative to said housing; a removable frame component (clause 7, patent US2021345795, IPC A47G1 / 06; A47G1 / 065, 11.11.2021).
[0008] A drawback of the known frame is its complex design, specifically the presence of removable parts. This design is not robust enough, as the removable elements can become detached during careless use. The closest analogue to the claimed model is a frame-cum-information storage device (patent RU 230 520 U1, MKP A47G 1 / 06, B65D 83 / 08, B42D 5 / 00, 09.12.2024).
[0009] A frame for storing information material, having a housing consisting of side walls connected along the perimeter; a front movable support panel; a rear fixed support panel; coaxial through holes through which information material is extracted; and shifting elements between the panels. The rear fixed support panel is connected to the end part of the housing using glue, self-tapping screws, staples, or other fasteners.
[0010] A drawback of the known frame is the weakening of the rear wall connection, which can occur over time under the influence of vibration and mechanical stress. The fasteners lose their strength, which can lead to the wall becoming loose and, consequently, to a deterioration in the structure's seal.
[0011] The task facing the declared model is to create a frame design for displaying and storing information material in the form of sheets of paper and other flat images, characterized by increased structural strength.
[0012] The technical result that the utility model is aimed at achieving is to increase the strength of the structure.
[0013] The stated technical problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved due to the fact that in a frame-bank of information material, comprising a housing having a frame with side walls made along the perimeter, provided with grooves on the inner surface and end projections, made with the possibility of fixing information material in the form of sheets inside the frame; a front movable wall, made with the possibility of moving inside the housing from the end projections to the said grooves on the inner side walls of the housing, provided with an opening; a rear fixed wall, provided with four openings for hanging the frame on the wall in a horizontal or vertical position; wherein one of the openings on the rear wall and the said opening on the front wall are through, which makes it possible to act on the information material placed in the frame and to extract it;two springs located between the front movable wall and the rear fixed wall, selectively connected to them, adapted to displace the front movable wall, characterized in that the said rear fixed wall is inserted into grooves on the inner side surfaces of the housing.;
[0014] This design prevents the back wall from unscrewing or loosening, ensuring the durability and reliability of the frame.
[0015] The information material piggy bank frame is made as follows.
[0016] The frame can be made of plastic or wood. The front movable wall and the rear fixed wall can be made of HDF, plastic, or plywood. The frame consists of four side walls, on the inner sides of which are end projections and grooves. These grooves are pre-cut. Two springs are connected to either the front or rear wall with glue. Three side walls are connected together, after which the rear wall is inserted into the grooves with the front side facing out. Then the front movable wall is installed with the front side facing the end projections. The final stage of assembly is the attachment of the fourth wall to outer walls 2 and 3, which forms a single frame (see Fig. 1).
[0017] The utility model is explained by the following images:
[0018] Fig. 1 - front view of the money box frame;
[0019] Fig. 2 - section A-A of Fig. 1 (rotated)
[0020] Fig. 3 - rear view of the money box frame.
[0021] A money-box frame for information material comprises a housing 1 in the form of a rectangular frame consisting of side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 (see Fig. 1). On the inner walls of the frame there are grooves b, into which the rear wall 7 is inserted. On the side opposite to the grooves there are end projections 8, against which the front movable wall 9 rests. The distance between the end projections and the grooves determines the depth of the housing h. Between the front movable wall and the rear wall there are springs 10. The front movable wall is provided with an opening 11 (see Fig. 2). The rear wall is provided with four holes 12, 13, 14, 15, which perform the function of hanging the structure on the wall using nails, self-tapping screws, hooks, hangers (see Fig. 3). Holes 11 and 12 are through (see Fig. 2).
[0022] To insert the information material, place the image in the center of the frame on the front side and press down on it. When you press down on the information material, the front movable wall will move due to springs and then return. The edges of the image will be secured inside the frame by end projections 8 on walls 2, 3, 4, and 5. Several information materials can be placed inside the frame, the number of which depends on the thickness of the sheet and the depth of the frame. To remove the information material from the frame, apply pressure with a long object, such as a pencil or marker, between through holes 11 and 12 (see Fig. 2). This will release the edges of the information material from the end projections.
[0023] The production and operation of the proposed utility model confirmed its industrial applicability and compliance with the stated technical results.
[0024] The money box frame can be made from the specified materials by known means using existing technological equipment.
