Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support device for storage boxes and mobile cases for electrical equipment, etc.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, when using electrical equipment such as tape recorders and video tape recorders, it is often more convenient to use them in an upright position. However, in this case, the equipment had the disadvantage that it was unstable and easily fell down, and such falling could cause a failure of the equipment. In particular, in the case of a video tape recorder, etc., the recorder body and camera are connected via a cord, and the user moves around holding the camera, so the above-mentioned drawbacks are more likely to occur and become even more problematic. Moreover, the above-mentioned problems have become more prominent as the above-mentioned equipment has become lighter, smaller, and more precise, and a solution has been desired.

The present invention was proposed primarily to solve the problems of the conventional methods as described above, and its purpose is to provide stable support for electrical equipment, etc., even when the equipment is used in an upright position. The object of the present invention is to provide a support device that can perform the following tasks. Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings showing a preferred embodiment.

In FIG. 1 showing an overview of the present invention, reference number 1 is a carrying case for electrical equipment, etc., and 1' is the back side thereof. Reference numeral 2 denotes a support plate of the device according to the present invention, which is rotatably fixed to the back surface 1' of the case 1 at a folded portion 2'. The material of the support plate 2 may be cardboard, plastic, etc., as long as it has sufficient strength to support ordinary electrical equipment. Furthermore, if the support plate 2 is formed by covering cardboard or the like with a synthetic resin or the like, and the part made of only the synthetic resin is used as the folded part 2', it is convenient because there is no need to provide a separate rotatable support means. be.
Note that the folded portion 2' is fixed to the back surface 1' by eyelets or the like. Reference numeral 3 denotes a window portion bored approximately at the upper center of the support plate 2, and reference numeral 4 denotes a recessed portion formed continuously below the lower part of the window portion 3. 5 is a locking plate, and 6 is a fixture for the locking plate 5. This fixture 6 is fixed to the portion of the support plate 2 on the back surface 1' where the window portion 3 is located. The locking plate 5 is rotatably supported by the mounting tool 6, and is urged toward the back surface 1' of the case 1 by a torsion spring or the like. 1st
The figure shows a state in which the locking plate 5 configured as described above is positioned in the recess 4 on the support plate 2 through the window 3 of the support plate 2. In this state, the support plate 2 is attached to the back surface 1' due to the urging force of the locking plate 5.
stick to the top. Further, in this case, since the locking plate 5 is fitted into the recess 4 of the support plate 2, the locking plate 5 does not protrude above the support plate 2 and becomes flat, so that the outer shape is not damaged.
Note that reference number 7 is a locking hole provided near one end of the locking plate 5. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a claw piece 9 is fixed to the lower part of the window 3 of the support plate 2, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. This claw piece 9 is large enough to be inserted into the locking hole 7 of the locking plate 5.

Next, the operation of the apparatus according to the present invention constructed as described above will be explained based on FIGS. 2 to 4.

In the closed state of the support plate 2 shown in FIG.
The top is close. To open the support plate 2, if you lift the support plate 2 with a force greater than the biasing force of the locking plate 5, the claw piece 9 will move while coming into contact with the back surface of the locking plate 5 (third figure). After that, when the support plate 2 is further lifted and opened, the locking hole 7 automatically fits into the claw piece 9 at a certain position due to the biasing force of the locking plate 5, so the support plate 2 is locked. The state shown in FIG. 4 is maintained. In this state, if used as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to stably support electrical equipment, etc. housed in the carrying case 1 in an upright state. To close the support plate 2, lift the locking plate 5 in the state shown in FIG. 4 and remove the locking hole 7 from the claw piece 9, and the support plate 2 will move toward the back surface 1' due to its own weight. At the same time, it is urged by the locking plate 5, so that it automatically returns to the closed state shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, if the cross-sectional shape of the locking plate 5 is formed with a groove 10 approximately in the center as shown in FIG. 6, and the locking hole 7 is provided on this groove 10, It will be understood that since the claw piece 9 moves while being guided by the groove 10 during the period from FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 4, the claw piece 9 is inserted into the locking hole 7 reliably. Further, the following other shapes are possible for the locking plate 5, and will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. In FIG. 7, a step portion 11 is formed at one end of the locking plate 5 to which the claw piece 9 is locked. 8 and 9, a groove 12 is formed in the length direction of the locking plate 5, and a step 13 is formed at the end of the groove 12, and the claw piece 9 is guided by the groove 12. It is locked at the stepped portion 13 while being rotated. In the one shown in FIG. 10, a cutout 14 is formed in the length direction of the locking plate 5, and the claw piece 9 is guided by the cutout 14 and locked at one end thereof. Note that the locking plate 5 shown in FIGS. 8 and 10 cannot be locked with the support plate open, but in the state shown in FIG. The state is maintained. in this case,
It will be easily understood that the support plate 2 is automatically closed by the biasing force of the locking plate 5 when the weight of the electrical equipment or the like is released.

Here, as another embodiment of the present invention, the eleventh
There are those shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the positions of the window portion 3, the recess 4, the claw piece 9, or the locking plate 5 of the support plate 2 are completely opposite to those of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the structure and operation thereof are the same as those of the above-mentioned embodiment. Since there is no difference between the two, there is no need for further explanation. Furthermore, in the above embodiments of the device according to the present invention, a case was shown in which the device according to the present invention was installed in a carrying case for electrical equipment, etc., but the object is not limited to the above, and other articles Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to, for example, a lectern on which books and the like can be placed in an upright position.

Since the support device according to the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it provides excellent effects as described below.

When the support plate is opened, the claw pieces are automatically locked in a predetermined position by the locking holes of the locking plate, and the open support plate holds electrical equipment, etc. stored in a mobile case etc. at a predetermined angle. It can be stably held in an upright position. Further, the support plate is extremely easy to operate because it is automatically closed by the biasing force of the spring of the locking plate when the locking of the locking plate or the load from an electric device or the like is released. Further, when the support plate is in the closed state, the support plate is pressed by the biasing force of the locking plate, so that the support plate does not flap. Therefore, it does not get in the way when you carry it around.
