Description

The invention also relates to an air-ion conditioning device which performs an information function and is particularly intended for desk use.

It is well-known that most people, such as office workers, engineers, students, etc., spend several hours a day working at their desk or at home, mostly in enclosed spaces where there is a great deal of discomfort and health. This is primarily due to the fact that natural (especially mountain, forest, waterfront) air has the most important health benefits - optimal temperature and humidity; the proper concentration of ions and purity - except at optimum temperatures - cannot be widely ensured in enclosed spaces, especially during the heating season. The cleanliness of the air in the rooms is largely due to the so-called cleanliness. It depends on the mesoclimate, that is, on the environmental-urban factors, but even in such bad (or even good) external climatic conditions, the improvement of the indoor climate - the microclimate - should not be abandoned.

Climate conditions in indoor spaces are improved by ventilator air movement in the summer and by a variety of water vaporizers in the winter, but these methods are not always effective and do not affect ion concentration in the room, although recent bioclimatic studies have the fact that the biological effect of air ions on the human body is very important and, in particular, light negative air ions have a very positive effect on indoor air quality. (Note that the human race has evolved over millions of years in atmospheres that have always had negative air ions.) However, in enclosed spaces where humans are present, the amount of light negative ions decreases significantly over time because they are partially trapped on objects, partly transformed into heavy positive ions which have a deleterious effect on the human body; this latter process occurs faster in low humidity, dry air rooms typical of the heating season. Heavy positive ions, which are characteristic of such a microclimate of rooms, adversely affect well-being, induce psychological stress, increase blood pressure, reduce reserve alkaline blood supply and respiratory mucosa, and contribute to the feeling of air dryness. On the other hand, light negative ions produce beneficial effects which are in contrast to the disadvantages described above. Note that centralized (or even room-based) air conditioning, as well as the electronization and computerization of workplaces, further worsens the ionic climate, that is, virtually eliminates physiologically important negative ions, so that large molecules of positive health, work quality and well-being the predominance of ions continues to grow.

According to the Hungarian Application No. 12, an air humidifier and ionizer is intended for improving the climatic conditions of a room and which must be kept in the room heating device (radiator, gas convector, etc.) during the heating season to ensure humidification. The effect of such a device is no longer sufficient for larger work areas at desks further away from the heater. The device ionizer does not even neutralize the negative ion concentration reduction effect of the computerized workplace screen, so negative ionization beyond the threshold is not sufficient to produce a positive physiological effect. By transferring the ion-rich air produced by such a device to the fan, the efficiency of negative ionization can be increased, but the noise of the fan may disturb the worker. Such devices are not suitable for uniform, efficient ion conditioning of the desk environment, but for larger airspace; they are used mainly in the living room.

There are also known attempts to attach an ionizer to a desk lamp to achieve spot ionization near the brain or eye. However, this solution has not worked in practice, on the one hand, because its reception has not been clearly positive, and, on the other, because modem workstations are getting less desk lighting, so often it is not even possible to place ionizers in the lamp. Another problem is that at computerized desks there is not only one seat, but it is usually roll-up, so there is actually movement at the table, so the air space here needs to be ionized.

Larger, more expensive ionizers are also known which are equipped with air purifying filters and possibly air humidifiers. They are also not suitable for workplace (desk) ion conditioning due to their size, goods and airflow performance.

There are many advertising methods that, among other things, attract the attention of executives and managers. This is the case, for example, for fancy publications or forms for managers, which are handed over, for example. Mail ads, personalized, personalized promotions, and advertising in newspapers that are supposed to reach a wide range of managers or managers serve a similar purpose.

The common mistake of the methods listed above is that most advertisers and executives, in their experience, do not read such advertisements, and only read articles in the newspapers that are of interest to them.

The usual advertising media are the so-called. corporate gifts, such as disposable lighters, writing instruments, key holders, etc., and horizontal paper notebooks, with the name of the gift company on a vertical surface formed by the edges of the pages. The disadvantage of these generally low-value advertising media is that they are usually received by people who are already in contact with the advertising company and are no longer able to carry newer, more detailed information, and advertising is lost when the advertising object is dropped or consumed.

HU 213 656 Β

For higher value durables, if they are manufactured by a lesser-known company, it is common to use the trademark of a known global company on a contract basis, thereby making the product more marketable, while helping to publicize the branding company. However, due to the relatively small number of durable goods, such advertising is not very effective.

Wall or desktop calendars can be considered workplace advertising, but desktop calendars are slowly disappearing due to computer technology, computer projection, pocket calendars, databases, calculators, and clock clocks, and wall calendars are predominantly artistic or touristy, usually they are out of reach of readability, so they essentially do not function as an advertising medium.

Computer screens can also be used as workplace advertising media, but this requires both the will of the operator and the time, which may not be available in sufficient quantities.

Thus, there is no simple advertising or other information dissemination process that automatically, periodically, always mindfully, but not intrusively, ie primarily by attracting attention, promotes services, public interest and other purposes in conjunction with an existing persistent function in the desktop environment.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device which is capable of ionizing the desktop (desk) environment efficiently and smoothly, in addition to being simple, noiseless and inexpensive, non-cyberly placed on the desk and other desk functions including advertising. to fill.

The present invention is based on the following insights: It is known to have a simple and efficient, fan-free, therefore, noise-free, small ionizer that can be operated for ion conditioning and for uniform flow of ionized air by utilizing indoor air flow, i.e. thermo-aerodynamic, whereby the physiologically necessary ionic concentration can be assured in the entire environment of the desk (desk). It has also been discovered that the small ionizer can also be mounted on a small stand that fits perfectly with other conventional desk objects and is particularly harmonious when it functions as a support for a conventional rectangular notepad. Finally, it is an object of the present invention to recognize that if each sheet of a notepad is divided into two sections, one of which is printed text, such as advertising text, information, etc. contains the text, the other part is empty, and the two parts can be separated after pulling out a sheet of note paper (for example, due to transverse linear perforation), preferably separated by approx. and a business-size text section (one edge of the block paper) that can be torn, read, and studied (both sides of the card may contain information or advertising text).

On a notepad, advertising or other text may change periodically, with the text always in mind. For example, the front of a text card may have a text-highlighting part (either by printing technology, a magnifying glass that is part of the device, or both), while more detailed information may be on the back. Ripped text information or advertising cards may be collected, distributed, included in, for example, prize draws, etc. On the other hand, tear-off blank note paper can be used for its original purpose, such as written answering, memo, calculation, etc. The main content and / or details of the next paper remaining in the advertising device, as already indicated, include other, periodically changing, advertising, public interest, etc. Thus, on the one hand, the content of advertising changes automatically, and on the other hand, the consequence of the habit that reduces the effectiveness of advertising is avoided. Thus, the present invention provides an effective advertising method for the desk (desk) based on a known, useful and usable notepad of rectangular sheets of paper that is positioned vertically or substantially vertically on the ionisation support, which in turn provides optimum ion conditioning in the desk environment.

Based on the above findings, the object of the present invention has been solved by the use of a device having a rack mounted ionizer, the device of which

- a high-voltage negative DC ionizer operating on a thermo-aerodynamic principle at the top of the stand;

- underneath the ionizer, the stand contains space for taking notes;

- the elementary pages of the note block have a separable information card and a blank page section.

In a preferred embodiment, the space for receiving the note block is at least partially bounded, preferably in the area before the information card, by a sheet of transparent material; it may be expedient for the transparent disk to be designed as a magnifying glass.

In another embodiment, the device has a notepad force exerting from the rear. Preferably, the force exerting means is a spring mechanism having a cavity formed in the rack body, a flanged sleeve member receiving the spring, and a related clamping plate which is resting on the inner surface (back) of the note block by the force of the spring. This device holds the notepad like a magnifying glass to the transparent disk.

According to a further feature of the invention, the bottom cavity for receiving the note block extending into the scaffold body of the stand is bordered by an L-shaped lower rear support plate on which the note block rests.

It may also be advantageous to have an example in which each sheet of a note block is rectangular and the note block is on a stand, vertical or nearly hanging3.

EN 213 656 Β placed, for example at a 6-10 ° tilt position; the information card, which may be separated from the blank by, for example, a perforation, comprises a smaller portion, for example about one third, of a rectangle on its own, with an inscription on the front containing a brief, essential information; Preferably approx. 250 sheets, approx. Notebooks are 2.5 cm thick and 13.5 * 9 cm in size, placed vertically or nearly vertically on the 13.5 cm edge, preferably approx. 8 ° tilted back for optimal viewing of an average person sitting at a desk with average width and height - placed on the stand. For example, the information card may have a width of 4.5 cm and a height of 9 cm. We would like to emphasize that the notepad can be placed anywhere on the stand in any other way between the vertical and horizontal position, the point being that informational text, such as periodically altered advertising, should be clearly legible, with or without enlargement, printing technique. For example, the 45 ° position of the block (notepad) may be appropriate.

In another preferred embodiment, the ionizer preferably has an elongated closed curved, cross-sectional housing made of stainless steel sheet, extending in one direction, with elongated openings extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing at the top and bottom of the wall. and inside there are electrodes, which can be connected to a power source and ionize the air passing through the housing in a transverse direction from below; it is expedient to have a panel comprising a printed circuit board and ionizing electrodes lying on the tabs on the inside of the housing in the longitudinal direction.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show a preferred embodiment of the device and some structural details. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the device;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the device of Figure 1; Figure 4 is an axonometric drawing showing a preferred embodiment of a notebook for use with the device;

Fig. 5 is a back view of a cut-off and / or tear-off information card that is part of the notepad of Fig. 4, and contains more detailed text than the front page.

Figure 1 is a front view of the main parts of the device; these are the ionizer 1, the stand with reference numeral 2 throughout, and the notepad 3. The stand 2 holds, on the one hand, the complete ionizer 1 attached to its upper part and, on the other hand, serves to record the notepad 3 (information carrier and sketch paper). The oblong cylindrical housing 4 of the ionizer 1 is preferably made of stainless steel sheet and has longitudinal openings 4a extending from below, above and to the side, and transmitting the thermal air flow through the housing 4, which is closed at its ends by end members 5. . Referring now to Fig. 1, the role of the magnifier 2, referenced by reference numeral 16, located in front of one end of the notepad 3, will be discussed below.

Figures 2 and 3 show the ionizer 1 in more detail. Accordingly, at the end members 5, a panel support tab 6 is mounted inside the housing 4, into which a panel 7 containing a printed circuit board fits. The latter also holds the ionizing electrodes 8; preferably, the ionizer 1 contains four or two such electrodes. A high-voltage (about 6 kV) shielded cable 10 is connected to the panel 7 via a lead-in breaker 9, starting from the voltage amplifier rectifier power supply 11 shown in FIG. this includes a grounded plug 12.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the ionizer 1 is secured to the stand 2 by the screws 13.

The stand 2, which, as discussed above, is an information and advertising tool in addition to holding the ionizer 1, is also illustrated in more detail in Figures 2 and 3. The rack 2 preferably has a rack body 15 made of openings made of plastic; the longitudinally extending apertures 25, 26 serve only to facilitate the rack body while the aperture 18 also serves as a writing compartment. The magnifying glass 16 already mentioned in connection with FIG. 1 is fixed in the body 15 as shown in FIG.

For example, the bottom-rear profiled support (about right angled) 17 of the one-piece molded plastic rack body 15 provides support for the notepad 3. (Figure 2). A spring mechanism is provided for clamping the notepad 3 underneath the magnifying glass, which includes a cavity 19 receiving the notepad 3 and extending into the space 27 behind the magnifier 16, a spring 20 therein, and a clamping plate 23 which abuts the notepad the screw-shaped disk-shaped head 22, the flanged sleeve member 28 and the intermediate pin 21 are continuously under tension of the spring 20 so that the respective front face of the notepad 3 is pressed against the inner surface of the magnifier 16 and the text on it is clear, magnified.

Figures 4 and 5 illustrate a preferred embodiment of a notepad 3 in the above-described stand 2, but note that each device may have a plurality of notepads 3. Each side of each notepad 3 has a left side, such as a business card, smaller in size than the right hand side, in the form of an information card 3a, which has a short, important notation 29 on its front panel (FIG. 4). a line as shown), which is raised by the magnifier 16 (Figures 1-3) and placed in the field of view. The information card 3a is provided from the blank page portion 3b - which is used for writing, counting, answering, recording, etc. can be used - separated by a separating line 3c, which can be formed, for example, by a perforation, or only by a linear signal along which the two parts can be separated by, for example, scissors4

HU 213,656. Figure 5 shows the back of information card 3a; these 30 subtitles contain more detailed, longer information (such as address, phone number, prices, profile, longer advertising slogan, etc.) than the one on the front. The information cards 3a of the pages in the notepad 3 should preferably be arranged within the block so that various advertising or other (for example, public interest) content is periodically displayed to the user of the device.

1-5. The device according to Figs.

the apparatus is placed on a desk, a notepad 3 is placed in the space 27 of the stand 2 (Figures 2 and 3) and the ionizer 1 is connected to a power source. In accordance with the dotted arrows 14 in Figure 2, the air flowing through the housing 4 of the ionizer 1 is ionized inside the housing 4 and the air exiting the upper openings 4a is already ionized.

As the user of the device requires note paper, he takes out pages of information cards 3a containing different information contents, such as different advertisements, the blank space of which is known for recording, counting, taking notes, transmitting messages, and so on. and the information becomes known as the information card 3a is ejected. Simultaneously with the use of the notepad 3, an ion-conditioned atmosphere is present in a forced relationship with the desk environment. The information cards 3a may also be collected, distributed to friends and used for other purposes, such as lotteries.

Advantageous effects of the invention may be summarized as follows:

Due to the fact that the work desk or student desk atmosphere can be effectively ion-conditioned with the device of the present invention, providing "alpine" fresher, partially germinated, cleaner, physiologically optimal air with a high negative ion concentration significantly improves long-term health and well-being of the individual, thereby improving concentration, employability and learning, and reducing the likelihood of illness.

We find it highly advantageous that ion-conditioning with a fanless, i.e., perfectly silent, ionizer for the desk work space is forced by the use of the ubiquitous paper notebook, which however differs fundamentally from presently used information, within advertising service. The advertisement can thus be placed directly at the desk, student or other person engaged in the activity (such as a telephone caller), and periodically changed series advertising or other information, such as information of public interest, is effectively directed at the individual sitting at the desk. For example, information (advertising) cards that have been ripped off or cut off - such as contacts can be collected, redistributed, etc. After pulling out one of the hundreds of pages of basically periodic information (advertising) note pads, the next page usually contains other advertising or other information, which of course does not exclude advertiser series ads where the advertiser may be the same, only the information (for example, by article! brief description) varies from page to page; this essentially corresponds to a sample catalog. In order to increase efficiency - up to a certain number of pages - complete identity is also conceivable.

Note that the device, in addition to its ion-conditioning, advertising-information, notepad and pen holder functions, can also be equipped with other standard functions such as a clock, digital calendar, thermometer, etc.

The ionizer utilizes the room air (for example, thermal) airflow to produce an almost uniform, efficient ion conditioning even without a noisy, distracting, larger space fan. Utilizing the existing indoor air flow, the ions propagation is primarily due to the thermo-aerodynamic principle or effect, in addition to the usual non-uniform polarity difference ion propagation.

The device according to the invention can be used to advertise on the desks, workplace callouts, slogans, quotes or anything else, such as health, tourism, political, religious, etc. information - preferably alternately, can be kept periodically in the employee's field of view so that the information is not disturbing. The worker is forced to use the white paper parts of the notepad to automatically change the information, so that no topic for publication can become familiar or bored. Of course, in spite of the periodicity, an advertisement can dominate within a block, if this is the demand.

Each device may have more than one notepad and each may contain a significant amount of information (for example, hundreds). For example, a total of thousands of advertisements should be made up of less than a hundred varieties because periodic repetition increases the effectiveness of advertising as well as the fact that the device is expected to be used in a large number of managerial offices.

Finally, it should be noted that, for example, as a gift advertising device, the device may also have a fixed inscription. In this case, periodically changing information cards provide a series of information about the advertiser.

The invention is, of course, not limited to the embodiment detailed above, but may be practiced in a number of ways within the scope of the claims.
