Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a photographic mount that can be used to hold an instant-developed photograph or a popular version of a photograph at a predetermined position on the mount surface.

In addition to photo mounts that use glue or corners to allow you to select the desired attachment position, for example, the mount shown in the figure has a window hole and is fixed in a predetermined position in the form of a frame. There is something I did. The former does not cause problems in pasting even if the size of the photo changes, but the latter has the inconvenience that it can only be used for one type of photo that fits the size of the pocket pre-formed on the mount. Ta.

In addition, ``Jikko No. 40-20656'' discloses a structure in which cut holes are provided for pasting vertical and horizontal photographs on album sheets, but even in this case, horizontal Photographs are simply inserted into cut holes at predetermined positions in the horizontal direction of paper sheets, and vertical photographs are simply inserted into cut holes at predetermined positions in the vertical direction. It is impossible to use a common hole to hold two types of photographs, for example. On the other hand, excluding professional photographs, most photographs can be divided into two types: popular size, generally referred to as economy size or service size, and instant developed photographs, which do not require printing. These two types of photos are instant developed photos and are divided into two sizes depending on the manufacturer.
The size of each size is constant.

Therefore, in the present invention, four protrusions are arranged on a mount so that they form a rectangle, with an interval in one direction equal to the width of an instant developed photograph, and an interval equal to the short side of a popular format photograph in the other direction. By placing both the instant developed photo and the popular version photo between the protrusions, the two can be held together by simply fitting them between the protrusions. The present invention provides a photo mount that can be used for any of the photos.

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

In the figure, 1 is a mount with sufficient margins so that it can be used like a colored paper, 2 is a window hole formed in the center of the bottom of the mount 1, and 3 is a window hole 2 from the front side of the mount 1.
A picture frame 4 is provided at the four corners of the back side of the picture frame 3, and when it is fitted into the window hole 2 of the picture frame 3, it penetrates the mount 1 and projects on the back side, respectively, with a total of four projections, Reference numeral 5 designates a back cover having a small hole 5' on the back surface of the mount 1 that elastically fits into the projection 4.

The mutual spacing between the four protrusions 4 is such that the horizontal spacing a is equivalent to the width of the instant developed photograph A shown by the phantom line in the figure, and the vertical spacing b is the same as the width of the popular size B, which is also shown by the phantom line in the figure. They are each formed equally to the short sides and are arranged in a square.

Next, the use of this photographic mount constructed as described above will be described. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, fit the picture frame 3 from the front side of the window hole 2, and fit it vertically between the four protrusions 4 protruding from the back side of the mount 1. Both side edges are elastically inserted into the space a and fixed, and the popular version photo B
In the case of , the upper and lower edges are elastically inserted into the space b by being fitted horizontally and fixed. If the above-mentioned fixed state is to be further strengthened, a back cover 5 is fitted to the protrusion 4 which holds the photo A or B, and the frame 3 is fixed together with the photo.

In addition, when carrying out the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, four protrusions 4 integrally formed with the mount 1 are made to protrude from the front side of the mount 1 to hold the photograph A or B, and a small hole 3a is made from above. A picture frame 3 provided at the four corners is fitted, or a photo A or B is held between four projections 4 formed at the four corners of the frame 3, and the projections 4 are inserted into small holes formed on the mount 1 side. By fitting, the formation of the window hole 2 is eliminated and the mount 1 is directly attached.
In some cases, a photo is fixed on the front side. In these cases, it is desirable to increase the width of the frame 3 so as to cover the edge of the photo. Further, the shape of the protrusion 4 that holds the photograph is not limited to a circular cross section, but may be any shape that can fix the four corners of the crossed photographs A and B as shown in FIG.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the case where the paper is used as a colored paper with a photo with sufficient margins as in the illustrated embodiment, but it also allows multiple photos to be pasted on a single mount 1, and the thickness is as large as possible. It is sometimes made thinner to make a mount that can be bound into an album, or it is sometimes added with legs and hangers to make a photo frame that can be hung on a table or on a wall.

As described above, the present invention arranges four protrusions on the mount surface whose spacing in two orthogonal directions is equal to the width of the instant developed photo and the short side of the popular version photo, and allows the above two types of photos to be printed. Both can be clamped between the protrusions, and each type of mount can hold two
Since it is possible to fix various types of photos, it can be used for pasting most types of photos, making it suitable for mass production, reducing costs, and can be expected to have the practical effect of cultivating demand for photo mounts.
