Description

本考案は、書物を立て掛けて使用する書見台に関し、特に、書物を安定に保持することができ、頁を円滑に捲ることができる書見台に関する。   TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a book stand that leans over and uses a book, and more particularly, to a book stand that can hold a book stably and can turn a page smoothly.

書物を自然な姿勢で読むことができるように、書見台は、基台に、書物を見開き状態で立て掛けることのできる大きさの背面部を傾斜状に設け、その前方に書物の下端部を係止させるための保持部を僅かに起立させた形態のものが一般的である。
このような書見台において、特許文献1のように、書物の厚さに応じて、背面部と保持部との間隔を調節できるようにする技術、特許文献2のように、基台を手前に向けて高くなるように傾斜させて書物の下端部が当接する部位に滑り止め溝を設ける技術、或いは背面部の傾斜角度を調節可能にする技術が提案されている。
In order to be able to read the book in a natural posture, the bookstand is provided with a back surface on the base that is slanted so that the book can be stood in an open state, with the lower end of the book in front of it. In general, the holding portion for locking is slightly raised.
In such a book stand, as in Patent Document 1, a technique that allows the distance between the back portion and the holding portion to be adjusted according to the thickness of a book, as in Patent Document 2, the base is in front. A technique is proposed in which a non-slip groove is provided at a position where the lower end of the book abuts so as to become higher toward the surface, or a technique for adjusting the inclination angle of the back face.

特開平09−299155号公報JP 09-299155 A 特開平11−169236号公報JP-A-11-169236

しかしながら、特許文献1の書見台の場合、頁を頻繁に捲りながら書物を読む場合は、背面部と保持部との間隔にゆとりを持たせた状態で使用されることが多く、頁を捲る際に書物が左右に傾き、その拍子に書見台から外れ落ちてしまうことがあった。特に、見開いた際に左右の厚みの差が大きい場合は、安定して書物を保持することが難しかった。
特許文献2の書見台の場合は、安定保持できなかったり、頁捲りの際に傾いてしまったりするという欠点に加え、頁の下端部が滑り止め溝に引っ掛かり、円滑に頁を捲ることができないという問題もあった。
However, in the case of the reading table of Patent Document 1, when reading a book while frequently turning the page, it is often used with a space between the back surface and the holding portion, and the page is turned. In some cases, the books were tilted to the left and right, and at that time, they fell out of the pedestal. In particular, when the difference between the left and right thickness is large when the book is spread, it is difficult to stably hold the book.
In the case of the book table of Patent Document 2, in addition to the disadvantage that it cannot be held stably or tilted when turning the page, the lower end of the page is caught in the non-slip groove, and the page can be turned smoothly. There was also a problem that it was not possible.

そこで、本考案は、書物を安定して保持することができ、頁捲りを円滑に行うことができる書見台の提供を目的とする。   In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a reading stand that can hold a book stably and can perform page turning smoothly.

上記課題を解決するために、本考案に係る書見台は、基台に、書物を立て掛けることができる背面部と、前記書物の下端部を保持することができる保持部と、を設けてなる書見台であって、前記保持部は、中央に凹部を有し、該凹部から両側に向けて僅かに高くなる傾斜面で構成されたことを特徴とするものである。   In order to solve the above-described problems, a book stand according to the present invention is provided with a back portion on which a book can be leaned and a holding portion that can hold the lower end of the book. In the writing table, the holding portion has a concave portion in the center, and is configured by an inclined surface that becomes slightly higher from the concave portion toward both sides.

この場合、前記基台の後方に、複数の溝からなる多段係止部を設け、該多段係止部に係止可能な支持部材を、前記背面部の裏側に回動可能に設けてもよい。
また、前記保持部の前方に、前記背面部に向けて起倒可能なアームを設けてもよい。
この場合、前記アームは、コイルばねを介して前記基台に取り付けられたものであってもよい。
In this case, a multistage locking portion including a plurality of grooves may be provided behind the base, and a support member that can be locked to the multistage locking portion may be rotatably provided on the back side of the back surface portion. .
Further, an arm that can be raised and lowered toward the back surface portion may be provided in front of the holding portion.
In this case, the arm may be attached to the base via a coil spring.

請求項1に係る書見台は、中央に凹部を有し、その凹部から両側に向けて僅かに高くなる傾斜面で構成された保持部において、書物の下端部を受けるように構成されているので、保持部中央の凹部に、書物の背表紙の下端部を位置させて立て掛けることで、書物を安定に保持することができる。
また、書物の下端部が、中央の凹部から両側に向けて僅かに高くなる傾斜面にて保持されるので、立て掛けられた書物の頁を捲る際に、頁が傾斜面に導かれ、滑らかに反対側へと移動させることができる。
The book stand according to claim 1 has a recess at the center, and is configured to receive the lower end portion of the book in the holding portion formed by an inclined surface that becomes slightly higher from the recess toward both sides. Therefore, the book can be stably held by placing the lower end portion of the back cover of the book in the concave portion at the center of the holding part and leaning it.
In addition, since the lower end of the book is held by an inclined surface that rises slightly from the central recess toward both sides, the page is guided to the inclined surface when turning the page of the leaned book and smoothly It can be moved to the opposite side.

請求項2に記載の書見台は、基台の後方に、複数の溝からなる多段係止部を設け、その多段係止部の何れかの溝に、背面部裏側の支持部材を係止させるので、背面部を所望の角度に傾けることができる。
請求項3に記載の書見台は、背面部に向けて起倒可能なアームを、保持部の前方に設けたので、アームの先端を背面部側に接近させることにより、意図せず頁が捲れてしまうのを防止できる。
The book stand according to claim 2 is provided with a multistage locking portion including a plurality of grooves at the rear of the base, and the support member on the back side of the back surface is locked in any one of the multistage locking portions. Therefore, the back portion can be tilted to a desired angle.
In the writing stand according to claim 3, since the arm that can be tilted toward the back surface portion is provided in front of the holding portion, the page is unintentionally moved by bringing the tip of the arm closer to the back surface side. It can prevent drowning.

請求項4に記載の書見台は、アームを、コイルばねを介して基台に取り付けるようにしたので、頁を捲る際の干渉を避けるために倒したアームを、自動的に初期位置に復帰させることができる。   According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the arm is attached to the base via the coil spring, so that the arm that has been tilted down automatically returns to the initial position in order to avoid interference when turning the page. Can be made.

背板20の裏面には、多段係止部11に係止させることで、背板20を所望の角度で支持するための支持部材21が回動可能に取り付けられている。
The back plate 20 attached to the base 10 via the pivotal support 13 is a part for leaning a document or a book, so that the book can be held in a spread state, A4 size, B5 size, chrysanthemum size The size is according to the size of the book.
A support member 21 for rotatably supporting the back plate 20 at a desired angle is attached to the back surface of the back plate 20 by being engaged with the multistage engaging portion 11.

背板20の前方には、書物2の下端部を保持するための保持部30が設けられている。
この保持部30は、中央に凹部31を有し、その凹部31から両側に向けて僅かに高くなる傾斜面32で構成されている(図2を参照)。
凹部31は、見開いた状態の書物の背表紙部を受ける部位である。このように、保持部30の中央に凹部31を設けることによって、書物の厚みによる背表紙部の干渉を避けることができ、見開いた状態の書物を安定に保持できるようになる。
A holding portion 30 for holding the lower end portion of the book 2 is provided in front of the back plate 20.
The holding portion 30 has a concave portion 31 in the center, and is configured by an inclined surface 32 that slightly increases from the concave portion 31 toward both sides (see FIG. 2).
The concave portion 31 is a portion that receives the spine portion of the book in a spread state. Thus, by providing the concave portion 31 at the center of the holding portion 30, it is possible to avoid interference of the spine portion due to the thickness of the book and to stably hold the book in a spread state.

凹部31の両側は、両端部に向けて僅かに高くなる傾斜面32となっている。
凹部31で背表紙部を受けた状態で、左右の傾斜面32において書物を保持することで、傾斜状の背板20に立て掛けられた書物の頁の下端部を安定に保持することができる。そして、頁を捲る際には、傾斜面32に導かれて頁を円滑に反対側へと移動させることができる。
傾斜面32の斜度θは、2度〜15度程度が好ましく、斜度θが30度を超えると、頁の側縁部が保持部30に干渉し、頁捲りに支障を来たすようになる。
Both sides of the recess 31 are inclined surfaces 32 that become slightly higher toward both ends.
By holding the book on the left and right inclined surfaces 32 in a state where the back cover is received by the concave portion 31, the lower end of the page of the book leaned on the inclined back plate 20 can be stably held. Then, when turning the page, the page can be smoothly moved to the opposite side by being guided by the inclined surface 32.
The inclination angle θ of the inclined surface 32 is preferably about 2 to 15 degrees. When the inclination angle θ exceeds 30 degrees, the side edge of the page interferes with the holding section 30 and hinders page turning. .

保持部30の前方には、背板30に向けて起倒可能なアーム40が設けられている。
このアーム40は、基台10に設けられた枢止部41を中心に、背板20に向けて回動するようになっており、アーム40を背板側に起こすことで、書物をセットして頁の捲れを防止し、アーム40を前方に倒すことで、頁を捲り易くしたり、書物を書見台1から取り外し易くできる。
上記構成の書見台1の使用状態を説明する。
An arm 40 that can be raised and lowered toward the back plate 30 is provided in front of the holding unit 30.
The arm 40 is pivoted toward the back plate 20 around a pivot 41 provided on the base 10, and the book is set by raising the arm 40 toward the back plate. Thus, the page can be prevented from curling and the arm 40 can be tilted forward so that the page can be easily turned or the book can be easily removed from the reading table 1.
The use state of the book table 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.

先ず、背板20の裏側の支持部材21を回動させ、多段係止部11の所望の溝に係止させる。そして、所望の傾斜状態となった背板20に書物2を立て掛け、その下端部を保持部30において受ける(図7を参照)。この際、書物2の背表紙部3を、凹部に31に位置させた状態で書見台1にセットする。
そして、アーム40を背板20側に向けて回動し、書物2がずり落ちないようにする。この場合、意図せずに頁が捲れてしまうのを防止するために、背板20に接近させて頁をしっかり押えるようにしてもよいし、頁捲りの度にアーム40の操作をしなくて済むように、背板20からアーム40を離し、ゆとりを持たせてもよい。
First, the support member 21 on the back side of the back plate 20 is rotated and locked in a desired groove of the multistage locking portion 11. Then, the book 2 is leaned against the back plate 20 in a desired inclined state, and the lower end thereof is received by the holding unit 30 (see FIG. 7). At this time, the spine portion 3 of the book 2 is set on the book stand 1 in a state where the spine portion 3 is positioned at 31 in the recess.
Then, the arm 40 is rotated toward the back plate 20 so that the book 2 does not slide down. In this case, in order to prevent the page from being unintentionally curled, the page may be pressed firmly by approaching the back plate 20, or the arm 40 may not be operated each time the page is turned. For the sake of completeness, the arm 40 may be separated from the back plate 20 so as to have a space.

書物2の背表紙部3の下端部は、保持部30の中央の凹部31で受けられており、左右の表紙部及び頁は、凹部31から両側に向けて上昇する傾斜面32で保持されるので、厚みのある書物2であっても、背表紙部3の部位の重みを吸収し、書物2を安定して保持することができる。
また、束状の頁が両側に行くにつれて傾斜面32に沿ってバラされた状態になるので、頁を捲る際には、頁が傾斜面32に導かれるようにして、滑らかに反対側へと移動させることができる。
The lower end portion of the spine cover portion 3 of the book 2 is received by a concave portion 31 at the center of the holding portion 30, and the left and right cover portions and pages are held by inclined surfaces 32 that rise from the concave portion 31 toward both sides. Therefore, even the thick book 2 can absorb the weight of the portion of the spine portion 3 and stably hold the book 2.
Further, since the bundle-like pages are scattered along the inclined surface 32 as they go to both sides, when turning the page, the pages are guided to the inclined surface 32 and smoothly moved to the opposite side. Can be moved.

なお、本考案において、保持部30の凹部31は窪みを有する形状であればよく、図8に示す凹部31’、31”のように、V字型であっても、U字型であっても構わない。また、傾斜面32は、図8(b)に示す傾斜面32”のように、凹部31”から連続的に保持部30の両側へと向かっていてもよい。
また、背板20は、傾斜状態を変えることができない構造であってもよいし、多段係止機部11の機構は如何なるものであってもよい。
In the present invention, the concave portion 31 of the holding portion 30 may be a shape having a depression, and it may be V-shaped or U-shaped like the concave portions 31 ′ and 31 ″ shown in FIG. Further, the inclined surface 32 may be continuously directed from the concave portion 31 ″ to both sides of the holding portion 30 as an inclined surface 32 ″ shown in FIG.
Further, the back plate 20 may have a structure in which the inclined state cannot be changed, and the mechanism of the multistage locking machine unit 11 may be any type.

また、アーム40は存在しなくても良いし(図8(a)を参照)、図8(b)に示すアーム40”ように、コイルばね42を介して基台10に取り付けられたものであってもよい。 このように、ばねの弾性復元力を利用すれば、頁を捲る際に倒したアームを、自動的に初期位置に復帰させることができるようになり、楽譜用の書見台1としてピアノの譜面台などに応用した際に、片手で容易に頁捲りを行うことが可能となる。   Further, the arm 40 does not have to exist (see FIG. 8A), and is attached to the base 10 via the coil spring 42 as shown in FIG. 8B. In this way, if the elastic restoring force of the spring is used, the arm that is tilted when turning the page can be automatically returned to the initial position, and the music book stand. When applied to a piano music stand or the like, page turning can be easily performed with one hand.
