DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device capable of easily inserting and removing a display plate such as a name tag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, there are many cases where a display device is attached to a door plate of a locker, a head plate of a drawer, or the like to display a user's name or a type of a stored item. As a conventional display device, a display plate is inserted from above into a pocket portion surrounded by an upwardly-facing U-shape by a ridge having an inverted L-shape in cross section, and is engaged with the inverted L-shaped portion. This is generally the case. In some cases, paper is used alone as the display board.However, the paper is easily faded, and it is also susceptible to repeated movements into and out of the pockets. It is customary to mount the unit integrally.

[0003]

However, since such a display device has a structure in which only the periphery of the display plate is engaged and held, it is necessary to securely mount the display device without falling off. Usually, the play of the display board is set to be small. For this reason, it is not easy to insert the display plate, and the inconvenience that the vinyl chloride plate or the paper is bent by being forcibly pushed tends to occur. Also, in the case of pulling out, there is an inconvenience that it is difficult to pull out because there are many hooks. Also, if the vinyl chloride plate is lost,
As a result, the paper is used alone, the looseness of the mounting state causes frequent dropping, and the effect of preventing fading is reduced by half. Furthermore, in a state where the display device is not used, a state in which the pocket portion protrudes casually from the front surface of the door plate or the mirror plate continues, so that there is a problem that the appearance of the furniture is greatly impaired.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device which effectively solves these problems.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, in the display device according to the present invention, the display board is accommodated between the base having the concave portion on the front surface and the concave portion of the base at the use position so as to be substantially flush with the base. A transparent plate that closes the portion, and a guide holding mechanism that holds the transparent plate in a non-rotatable state at the use position and guides it to a position displaced in the surface direction to rotatably hold the transparent plate, The display panel can be inserted into the display panel housing portion opened between the transparent plate and the concave portion when the transparent plate rotates.

[0007] As a specific embodiment of the guide holding mechanism, a slide guide groove formed in the inner wall of the concave portion;
The projection is formed on the outer surface of the transparent plate, and the projection is formed on the inner wall of the recess, and the slide guide groove is formed on the outer surface of the transparent plate. The transparent plate interferes with a part of the base at the use position where the projection engages with one end of the slide guide groove, so that the rotation is prohibited, and the projection is The transparent plate may be configured to be able to rotate without interfering with the base body at the rotational position engaging the end.

In order to realize a good holding state with respect to the transparent plate with a simple configuration, it is effective that an intermediate portion between one end and the other end of the slide guide groove is an upper bottom.

One of the highly preferred embodiments of the present invention includes a case where the substrate is a drawer puller.

[0010]

The display plate accommodating portion between the transparent plate and the concave portion of the base is opened by sliding the transparent plate at the use position to a position displaced in the plane direction and rotating at that position. . Then, the display plate such as a name tag is inserted into the display plate housing portion, and the transparent plate is reversely rotated again and then slid to the use position, so that the transparent plate fits almost flush with the concave portion of the base. As a result, the display plate cannot rotate and the display plate is held by the display plate housing while being sandwiched between the transparent plate and the recessed portion. In this state, the display plate itself is not exposed to the outside, but the contents displayed on the display plate can be seen through the transparent plate from the front side. Next, when the transparent plate is slid from this state to a position displaced from the use position and rotated by the same operation as described above, the display plate housing is opened again, and the display plate is removed from the display plate housing. It becomes possible. Then, in a state where the transparent plate is returned to the use position again, the transparent plate is fitted substantially flush with the recessed portion,

As described above, in the display device of the present embodiment, the display plate X is reliably held in the state where the transparent plate 3 is used between the transparent plate 3 and the recess 24 at the use position P. Regardless, by rotating the transparent plate 3 when the transparent plate 3 is moved in and out, the display plate housing 5 can be largely opened between the transparent plate 3 and the recess 24. Therefore, it is possible to easily put the display panel X in and out easily. When not used as a display device, only the ground color is visible through the transparent plate 3 from the front side, and in this embodiment, the transparent plate 3 is disposed at a position substantially flush with the pull tab 2. And the handle 2 is pulled out from the end plate a of the drawer A.
Since the display device is mounted at a position substantially flush with the display device, the problem that the display device protrudes from the drawer A and impairs the appearance can be effectively solved.

Further, since the guide holding mechanism 4 is configured as described above, the transparent plate 3 can be slidably and rotatably held at a certain position without using a special guide rail or a shaft support mechanism. Thus, it is possible to effectively avoid a complicated structure and an increase in the number of parts. Especially,
Since the middle portion 41c of the slide guide groove 41 is raised to the bottom, resistance can be given when the projection 42 passes through the middle portion 41c, and the area inside the protrusion groove is clearly defined,
The protrusion 42 can be stably engaged with one end 41a or the other end 41b of the slide guide groove 41.

In the above-described embodiment, the guide holding mechanism has an engagement structure of the slide guide groove formed on the inner wall of the recess and the projection protruding from the outer surface of the transparent plate. However, conversely, an engagement structure may be employed in which a projection protruding from the inner wall of the recess and a slide guide groove formed on the outer surface of the transparent plate. Also, the guide holding mechanism is shown in FIGS.
It can also be configured as shown in FIG. That is,
The guide holding mechanism 104 is characterized in that it has an engagement structure of a slide guide groove 141 formed on the inner side wall 23a of the concave portion 21 of the base 2 and a projection 42 protruding from the outer surface 31a of the transparent plate 3. This is basically the same as the above-described embodiment, except that the protrusion 13
0 is formed, wedge-shaped locking portions 120 are protruded at the corresponding positions of the concave portions 21, and the protruding pieces 1
30 is engaged with the upper surface of the locking portion 120. In this way, the projection 42 can be securely held at one end of the slide guide groove 141 even if the groove bottom of the slide guide groove 141 is formed into a flat shape without having the upper bottom structure as in the above embodiment. Therefore, the production of the base 2 can be facilitated. The one shown is the inner wall 23a.
A step 230 is formed at the front end of the transparent plate 3, and both left and right edges of the transparent plate 3 are attached to the step 230.
The sliding operation of the transparent plate 3 is smoothly guided by the stepped portion 230, and an effect of preventing sticking when the transparent plate 3 is pressed by a finger or the like is provided. In addition, the specific configuration of each unit is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0021]

As described above, according to the display device of the present invention, the transparent plate, which is fitted in the concave portion of the base at the use position, is rotated by sliding in the surface direction and then rotating. The display plate accommodating portion between the plate and the concave portion of the base can be greatly opened. Therefore, although the display panel can be securely held in use, it is possible to easily and easily put the display panel in and out at the rotation position. In addition, when not used as a display device, the display device can be kept inconspicuous, so that the beauty of furniture can be effectively improved.

Further, by employing the guide holding mechanism of the present invention, the structure can be simplified and the number of parts can be reduced.
