SOLUTION: A front surface plate 2 is erected on a base plate 4, and on the base plate 4 behind the front plate 2, a back surface plate 3 which forms a curved section 3a wherein the front surface indents extending to the lateral width is provided, and on the back surface side of the front surface plate 2, guide pieces 5 and 6 of which the rear edges face to the inside of the curved section 3a of the back surface plate, are provided, and also, a supporting leg 7 which can rotate with the right and left side surfaces at the base section of the front surface plate 2 as pivotal centers, is provided. At the time of usage, the upper surface of the supporting leg 7 comes into contact with a notched step portion which is formed on the right and left side surfaces at a lower portion of the back surface plate 3, and the rotation in the direction to the back surface is restricted, and when not being used, by rotating the supporting leg 7 in the direction to the front surface, the supporting leg 7 is housed around the front surface plate 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper stand suitable for placing a document upon input of a word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A paper stand for standing a paper such as a manuscript at the time of a word processor input so that the manuscript can be easily viewed is almost always provided by a suitable supporting member. It is intended to be placed.

[0003] The flat plate is usually larger than the size of the paper to be placed, and has the disadvantage of taking up space and being inconvenient to carry.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a paper stand which can easily and surely lay up required paper, and which is compact, takes up little space and is easy to carry.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a paper stand according to the present invention has a front plate erected on a base plate, and a paper stand on the base plate behind the front plate.
A back plate that forms a curved portion having a front surface that is concave across the width; a guide piece whose rear edge faces the inside of the curved portion of the back plate; and a left and right side surface at a base of the front plate. In use, the upper surface of the support leg contacts the notch step formed on the left and right side of the lower portion of the back plate to restrict the rotation in the rear direction during use. Sometimes, it is arranged to be housed around the front plate by being rotated in the front direction.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a paper stand according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to specific examples shown in the accompanying drawings. The paper stand body 1 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material, and includes a front plate 2 and a back plate 3. The lower portions of both plates are connected by a base plate 4 and are integrally formed.

The front plate 2 is a flat plate formed in a vertically long semi-elliptical shape that is inclined upward at a required angle (for example, about 60 degrees from a horizontal plane).

The back plate 3 is formed by a curved plate having a front surface that is concave across the width thereof, and a front surface of the back plate 3 forms a curved portion 3a surrounding the holding plate 2. Leaning.

In the center of the rear side of the front plate 2, a vertically long central guide piece 5 is protruded, and similarly, a vertically long guide piece 6 is also protruded on the left and right sides of the central guide piece. is there.

Each of the guide pieces 5 and 6 has a rounded upper portion so that paper can be inserted smoothly, and the trailing edge of each guide piece is a curved portion 3a of the back plate 3. The distance between the rear edge of each guide piece and the rear plate is substantially the same, and at least the rear edge of the central guide piece 5 is located rearward of the edge 3b of the rear plate 3 as shown in FIG. It protrudes to.

The above-mentioned paper stand body 1 is erected without falling backward by supporting legs 7 formed in a semi-elliptical ring shape, and the supporting legs 7 are formed inside the left and right front ends. The shaft 7a is fitted and attached to a shaft hole 4a drilled on the left and right side surfaces near the front edge of the base plate 4,
The support leg 7 is configured to be rotatable around the protruding axis.

When the support leg 7 rotates from the bottom surface of the paper stand body to the rear direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2), the support leg 7 is turned by the notch step portions 8 formed at the lower left and right side surfaces of the rear plate 3. When the movement angle is restricted, and when rotating from the bottom surface to the front direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 2), the rotation angle of the bottom surface of the support leg 7 is regulated by the front surface of the back plate 3.

An inner peripheral edge of the support leg 7 is formed in a semi-elliptical shape following the outer peripheral edge of the front plate 2 and slightly larger in diameter than the outer peripheral edge.
The support leg 7 is formed between the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 in a state in which the support leg is in contact with the back plate 3, that is, in a state where the support leg is housed. It is designed to close the gap.

Accordingly, the support legs 7 support the paper stand body from the rear when the paper stand body 1 is erected, and can be stored between the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 when the paper stand is not used. I have.

Next, the operation of the paper stand configured as described above will be described. In the unused state of the paper stand, the support legs 7 are stored so as to close the gap between the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 as shown by the phantom line in FIG. It is a compact thing that can be put in and carried.

When the paper stand is used, the support leg 7 is rotated from the front surface to the bottom surface around the protruding shaft 7a until it comes into contact with the notch step 8 at the lower portion of the back plate, and the paper stand main body 1 is erected. Let it.

When paper 9 to be erected, for example, an original for word processing input, is inserted between the front plate 2 and the back plate 3 from its lower end, the paper 9 is guided by the radius provided on the upper portions of the guide pieces 5 and 6. , Between the guide piece and the back plate 3.

Since the central guide piece 5 protrudes into the curved portion 3a of the back plate 3, the lower center of the paper is pushed backward by the guide piece 5, and the paper is spread across the width so that the central part has a concave front surface. And it becomes difficult to bend in the front-rear direction.

In the above-described embodiment, the center guide piece 5 and the left and right guide pieces 6, 6 are provided. However, the left and right guide pieces 6, 6 may not be provided, or the left and right guide pieces 6 may be provided. , 6 protrudes into the curved portion 3a of the back plate 3, the central guide piece 5 may not be provided. Further, although the front plate and the back plate have a semi-circular elliptical shape, they may be formed in a semi-circular or rectangular shape.

[0020]

Since the paper stand according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, paper such as a word processor input document can be easily set up simply by inserting it between the front and rear plates from the lower end thereof.

Further, the paper stand according to the present invention does not support the entire back surface of the paper, but can stand the paper without bending by sandwiching the lower end of the paper.
The size of the paper is much smaller than the size of the paper, so there is an advantage that the space can be saved and the device can be easily carried.

Further, when the paper stand is not used, the supporting legs can be accommodated between the front and rear plates, so that the device can be made compact.
