Is formed. The front end portion of the writing instrument receiving portion 6 is formed with a front wall portion 6c bent in a U-shaped cross section, and the inside of the front wall portion 6c is hollow. Furthermore, a fitting portion 6d for mounting the level 4 on the rear end side of the writing instrument receiving portion 6, specifically, on the back side of the writing instrument receiving portion 6 and in contact with the lower end portion of the upright plate portion 5, is provided. Is formed. The fitting portion 6d is formed in a concave shape having an opening at the rear and an arc surface on the inner surface, and extends over the entire length of the pen tray. Further, a protruding piece 6e that extends slightly rearward (back side) is formed on the upper side of the fitting portion 6d. And the magnet 3 is affixed on the horizontally long rectangular groove 7 formed by the protruding piece 6e of the fitting portion 6d and the protruding piece 5a of the upright plate portion 5 described above. The magnet 3 is in the shape of a horizontally long plate having a thickness that is substantially the same as the protruding length of the protruding pieces 5a and 6d, and its longitudinal dimension is slightly shorter than the longitudinal dimension of the tray body 1. Is set. Therefore, when the magnet 3 is attached to the concave groove 7, the magnet 3 is completely contained in the concave groove 7. Further, a horizontally long elliptical observation window hole 8 is formed at the center position of the inclined surface behind the recess 6a of the writing instrument receiving portion 6. This observation window hole 8 faces the fitting portion 6d, and is provided to visually recognize a part of the level 4 attached to the fitting portion 6d from the front.

  The side wall members 2 and 2 are synthetic resin members mounted on both sides of the tray main body 1 and prevent the writing instrument placed on the writing instrument receiving portion 6 of the tray main body 1 from falling from the side. It is provided to keep the aesthetics of the pen tray design. That is, the side wall members 2 and 2 are formed in a substantially L shape in a side view having a portion corresponding to the side end portion of the upright plate portion 5 of the tray body 1 and a portion corresponding to the side end portion of the writing instrument receiving portion 6. Thus, it also serves as a decorative plate on the side of the tray body 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, three protruding portions for mounting the side wall member 2 on the tray body 1 are provided on the inner side surfaces of the side wall members 2 and 2, respectively. Specifically, a rectangular parallelepiped protruding portion 2 a that fits into the groove 7 of the tray body 1 is provided on the inner side surface of the side wall member 2 corresponding to the upright plate portion 5 of the tray body 1. ing. Further, on the inner side surface of the side wall member 2 corresponding to the writing instrument receiving portion 6 of the tray main body 1, there is a cylindrical-shaped protruding portion 2 b that just fits into the fitting portion 6 d of the tray main body 1 on the rear side. On the front side, a rectangular parallelepiped protruding portion 2c that fits into the hollow portion of the front wall portion 6c of the tray body 1 is provided.

  The level 4 is filled with liquid so that bubbles remain in a transparent cylindrical container. If the container is kept horizontal in a horizontal state, the bubble is located in the center of the container. become. That is, by visually recognizing that the bubble is located in the center of the container from the viewing window 8 of the tray body 1, the user can determine whether or not the writing instrument receiving portion 6 of the tray body 1 is kept horizontal. Can be known.

  Next, a method for assembling the pen tray configured as described above will be described. First, the magnet 3 is attached to the back surface of the tray main body 1 that is extruded and shaped to have a substantially L-shaped cross section and cut with a predetermined length via an adhesive or the like. Specifically, the magnet 3 is attached to the concave groove 7 on the back surface of the tray body 1. At this time, the longitudinal center portion of the concave groove 7 and the longitudinal center portion of the magnet 3 are matched as much as possible. The magnet 3 is pasted. Thereby, the part which the magnet 3 has not overlapped on the both ends of the ditch | groove 7 is made. Then, the side wall members 2 and 2 are mounted on both sides of the tray body 1. Specifically, the protruding portion 2a of the side wall member 2 is the concave groove 7 of the tray body 1, the protruding portion 2b of the side wall member 2 is the fitting portion 6d of the tray main body 1, and the protruding portion 2c of the side wall member 2 is the tray main body. 1 is fitted into the hollow portion of the front wall portion 6c. Next, the level 4 is fitted from the back side of the tray body 1 into the fitting portion 6d with both ends thereof facing sideways. It is mounted so as to face the peephole 8. In addition, since the circular arc surface of the level 4 and the circular arc surface of the inner surface of the fitting portion 6d coincide with each other, the level device 4 is firmly fixed to the fitting portion 6d once it is attached. .

  The pen tray assembled in the above procedure is adsorbed via a magnet 3 at an arbitrary position such as a whiteboard to be used. Then, it is confirmed whether the bubble of the level 4 is located at the center from the observation hole 8 of the pen tray. If the bubble is not located at the center, the bubble is located at the center while checking the inclination of the pen tray. Adjust the tilt until Thereby, the writing instrument receiving part 6 of a pen tray will always be kept horizontal, and the inconvenience that a writing instrument etc. fall from a pen tray can be eliminated completely. In addition, since the pen tray itself is always attracted to the whiteboard without being inclined, for example, when the entire wall surface of the office is used as a whiteboard, the pen tray may impair the aesthetics of the office. Can be resolved.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which one level 4 is attached to the tray body 1 and the number of viewing windows 8 of the tray body 1 corresponding to this is one. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of level levels and a plurality of viewing window holes may be provided. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the magnet 3 showed the example of a horizontally long plate shape, it is not necessarily limited to this, The shape can select arbitrary shapes, Moreover, the magnet of the magnet to be used is used. The number can be arbitrarily selected. Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the level level which consists of a cylindrical container was shown as an example, the shape of a level level can also select arbitrary shapes. Similarly, an arbitrary shape can be selected for the fitting portion into which the level is fitted according to the shape of the level. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the fitting part showed the example extended over the whole longitudinal direction of a pen tray, it is not restricted to this, The width | variety etc. will be arbitrarily if it comes to fit a spirit level Selectable. Furthermore, although the example in which the fitting portion is provided on the back side of the pen tray has been shown, it does not necessarily have to be provided on the back side. That is, the upright plate part and the writing instrument receiving part may be provided in the vicinity of the corner part in contact with each other, and may be provided, for example, on the lower surface side of the writing instrument receiving part.
