[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an eaves signboard, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the eaves signboard, and FIG. 3 is an LED dot matrix on the eaves signboard. FIG. 4 is a front view of an eaves signboard, and FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged vertical cross-sectional view when the display surface of the LED dot matrix display is inclined downward. Components having the same functions as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

As shown in FIG. 1, the eaves signboard 1 of this embodiment has a frame 2 projecting above the entrance of the store, ie, at the eaves. The panel plate 3 is fitted on each surface, and the louver 3 'is fitted on the lower surface. The frame body 2 may be made of any material as long as it is thin and rigid. Here, an aluminum frame formed by drawing out an aluminum material and forming a square pipe shape is used. As shown in FIG. 2, a light source 4 such as a fluorescent lamp or a mercury lamp is disposed inside the frame 2.

The panel plate 3 may be any material as long as it is a translucent plate material or a flexible sheet. In this case, a milky half-color acrylic resin plate is used. A cutting sheet on which characters and patterns are printed as appropriate is attached to the panel plate 3. Usually, it is often attached to the front panel plate 3 that is noticeable to passers-by, but may be attached to the left and right side panels or other panel panels 3. Instead of the cutting sheet, it is also possible to attach a cut letter made of acrylic, vinyl chloride, or the like, or to draw a letter or pattern directly on the panel plate 3. In this case, only the flat panel material 3 is used, and only the panel material 3 fitted in the center of the upper surface is slightly curved and fitted. However, the panel material 3 is further curved or processed into an arbitrary curved surface. The panel material 3 can also be used.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the panel plate 3 includes a receiving plate 5 temporarily fixed to the side surface of the frame 2 and a pressing plate 6 fitted into the receiving plate 5 and screwed to the frame 2. Is attached by sandwiching an edge portion between them through a packing material 7. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent water from entering from a gap between the frame body 2 and the panel plate 3 and to waterproof the interior of the eaves signboard 1. However, in the present embodiment, the panel plate 3 attached to the lowermost portion is not particularly likely to enter water.
The lower edge and the peripheral edge of the panel plate 3 attached to the lower surface of the frame 2 are directly supported by the frame 2, but the lower edge is also formed by the receiving plate 5 and the holding plate 6. May be attached.

The louver 3 ′ attached to the lower surface of the frame 2 is formed by combining flat plates in a lattice shape to provide a gap in order to release heat from the light source 4.
Further, the surface exposed on the front side of the frame 2 and the holding plate 6 and the like is colored black to enhance the appearance.

In the eaves signboard 1 of this embodiment, the front center surface is vertically divided by a horizontal frame 2, and an LED dot matrix display 8 is inserted between the upper and lower frames 2 on the lower surface. Is attached. The LED dot matrix display 8 controls the lighting of a large number of LED lamps provided in a dot matrix on the display surface 8a, so that arbitrary characters, figures, and the like can be switched and displayed or a flowing character can be displayed. The display surface 8a is arranged to face forward.

A panel panel 3 of a non-glare type different from the other panel panels 3 is mounted in front of the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8. The non-glare type panel plate 3 is obtained by performing fine graining on the surface of an acrylic resin plate, thereby suppressing unnecessary reflection of light from the outside and also using each LED lamp of the LED dot matrix display 8. Are made visible from the outside only when lit, so that the display is clear.

Also, by dividing the front central surface up and down by the frame body 2 and attaching a panel plate 3 different from the upper side in front of the LED dot matrix display 8 in this manner, the surface of each panel plate 3 The display is prevented from being difficult to see by preventing the deflection from increasing. Reference numeral 8b denotes a connector used to change the display content of the LED dot matrix display 8.

According to the eaves signboard 1 having the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 4, not only the characters and patterns of the cutting sheet attached to the front panel plate 3 are displayed by being raised by the backlight of the light source 4, but also displayed. The LED dot matrix display 8 arranged behind the lower panel 3 at the center of the front can display moving characters, figures, and the like, thereby further attracting the attention of passersby. become able to. And the light source 4 in the daytime
Even if is displayed on the LED dot matrix display 8 without turning on, the same effect can be obtained because the characters and patterns on the cutting sheet are displayed by sunlight. This LED dot matrix display 8 is
Because it is easy to change display characters and graphics, for example, when a new product is sold at the store or when a campaign product is defined for a certain period of time, it can be immediately replaced with these promotional displays. become able to. Further, since different displays can be made with the passage of time by switching the display or displaying the flow characters, it is possible to perform a display with a larger amount of information than when the display is fixed.

In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8 is arranged vertically as in the panel plate 3. However, since the eaves signboard 1 is installed at a position where a person passing in front thereof looks up a little, the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8 is inclined slightly downward as shown in FIG. However, it is also possible to make it easier to see when looking up from below. For example, when the LED dot matrix display 8 is installed at a position of 2.3 to 2.5 m from the road surface, when a passerby having an eye height of 1.5 m looks at the display at a distance of 5 m, 9 to 9 m Looking up at an angle of about 12 °.
Therefore, the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8
Is tilted downward by about 9 to 12 degrees, a passerby can see the display surface 8a from the front, and an easy-to-view display is possible.

In the above embodiment, the case where the non-glare type panel plate 3 is mounted in front of the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8 has been described.
This panel plate 3 may be omitted, and the display surface 8a of the LED dot matrix display 8 may be directly exposed.
However, in this case, it is necessary to perform waterproof processing on the LED dot matrix display 8 itself. In addition, when the LED lamp is exposed, the appearance may be deteriorated.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the LED dot matrix display 8 for displaying characters and figures is used has been described.
By using the ED dot matrix display 8, a color image can be projected. Further, as long as it is a moving image display capable of performing a moving display, it is not necessary to limit to such an LED dot matrix display 8, and a liquid crystal display device, a CRT display device, or the like is used instead. It is also possible.

[0026]

As is clear from the above description, according to the eaves signboard of the present invention, characters, figures, etc. are sequentially switched and displayed on the display surface of the moving image display, or the characters are displayed in a floating manner.
Alternatively, since a moving image can be displayed, attention of passers-by can be attracted more than before, and a more effective signboard or advertising medium can be provided. In addition, the display contents on the display surface of the moving image display can be easily changed, and more information can be included.

Further, by using an LED dot matrix display, or by sealing and attaching a panel plate to a frame, the moving image display can be made inexpensive and have a long life.

Further, by inclining the display surface of the moving image display downward, it is possible to make the display easy to see when a pedestrian looks up.
