Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water submergence detecting label capable of lessening the occurrence of sticking defect and decreasing the man-hours for working of sticking work. SOLUTION: This label is stuck to the inside of the case for a precision apparatus through a window format at the case so as to be made visible. A base 11 is interspersed with many point parts 12 of a color different from the color of this base 11 in an alignment state so as to provide the same patterns as a whole even if the label is turned upside down. As a result, exactly the same patterns are formed even if the label is rotated 180 deg.. In addition, the occurrence of a signification odd feel in the state of viewing from the window is averted even if the label bends slightly, deviates slightly in a vertical direction and a lateral direction, rotates 90 deg. or rotates 270 deg..

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a submersion detection label attached to a submersible device such as a cellular phone for detecting that submersion has occurred.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A submergence detection label is sometimes attached to a submersible device such as a mobile phone to detect the occurrence of submersion. That is, a window is formed in a case of a precision instrument, and a submergence detection label is attached to the inside of the case so as to be visible through the window. As shown in FIG. 6, this conventional submergence detection label has a rectangular shape, and one half of the center line in the short side direction has a base color such as white, and the other half has the other half. It is colored with a color such as red which is different from the base color.

[0003]

In the conventional submergence detection label 100 as described above, depending on the way of attachment, FIG.
In the pasting state in which the positional relationship with the window 101 shown in FIG. 7A is correct, the pasting bent as shown in FIG.
A vertical displacement as shown in FIG. 7C, a 180 ° rotation as shown in FIG. 7D, a 90 ° rotation as shown in FIG. 7E, or a 270 ° rotation may occur. (In each figure, the outline of the submergence detection label is indicated by a broken line.)
In any of these pasting states, when viewed from the window, there is clearly a sense of incongruity, so that it can be seen that the pasting is mistaken. For this reason, it is inevitable to judge that the sticking failure has occurred as a defective product. Conversely, in order to prevent such a sticking defect from occurring, the sticking operation must be performed using a nerve, and there is a problem that it takes a long time and the man-hour for the sticking operation is increased. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a submergence detection label that can reduce the occurrence of sticking failure and reduce the number of man-hours for sticking work.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, a submergence detection label according to claim 1 of the present invention can be visually recognized inside a case of a precision instrument through a window formed in the case. Is attached to the base,
It is characterized in that a number of point portions having a color different from that of the base are arranged in an aligned state so as to have the same pattern as a whole even when inverted. In this manner, a large number of point portions of a color different from that of the base are scattered in an aligned state so as to have the same pattern as a whole even when the base is inverted. It becomes a pattern, and it is slightly bent, slightly shifted vertically, slightly shifted left and right, rotated 90 degrees,
Even if rotated by 270 °, there is no great discomfort when viewed from the window. In addition, since the point portions are scattered, water droplets and the like can be detected at almost all positions.

In the submergence detection label according to the second aspect of the present invention, the plurality of point portions are scattered so as to have the same pattern as a whole even when rotated by 90 ° with respect to the first aspect. It is characterized by: As described above, since a large number of point portions are scattered so as to have the same pattern as a whole even when rotated by 90 °, the same pattern is obtained even when rotated by 90 ° or 270 °. .

A submergence detection label according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that it is square in relation to the first or second aspect. As described above, since the shape is square, it is not necessary to consider the direction of the outer shape in the sticking operation, and as a result, the number of man-hours for the sticking operation can be further reduced.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a submergence detection label according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The submergence detection label 10 has a square outer shape, and a plurality of point portions 12 of a color different from the base are provided on a base 11.
Are arranged in an aligned state on the entire surface so that the same pattern is obtained as a whole even when the submergence detection label 10 is inverted (rotated by 180 °), and the same pattern is obtained as a whole even when the label is turned 90 °. Here, specifically, the base 11 is a predetermined color (for example, white), and the point portion 12
Is a predetermined color (for example, red) different from the base 11. The point portions 12 are all circular with the same diameter (that is, the same shape), and are arranged at equal intervals in one direction and in a direction orthogonal thereto. In other words, they are arranged at the respective intersections of the imaginary lines along the one diagonal line and equally spaced along the diagonal line and the imaginary lines along the other diagonal lines and equally spaced along the square outer shape. This allows
The submergence detection label 10 is 0 °, 90 °, 180 °, 27
The pattern is in the same state at any rotation position of 0 °. In other words, the pattern is in the same state when viewed from any of up, down, left, and right directions.

As shown in FIG. 2, such a submergence detection label 10 is a front case 1 of a mobile phone (precision equipment).
No. 4 Label sticking part 1 of I / O connector 16 of Pr plate 15
7, and then the rear case 18 is fitted to the front case 14. In this state, the submergence detection label 10 is attached to the front case 14 and the rear case 1.
8 and is visible through a window 19 for confirmation of a submergence detection label, which is formed in the rear case 18 and is smaller than the submergence detection label 10. And FIG.
With respect to the pasting state in which the positional relationship with the window 19 shown in FIG.
し て も Even if rotated, the pattern is exactly the same.
As shown in FIG. 3 (b), bending may occur,
Even if a vertical shift or a horizontal shift occurs as shown in FIG. 7, since the aligned point portions 12 are confirmed in the window 19, the state as viewed from the window 19 is large. There is no discomfort (the outline of the submergence detection label 10 is indicated by a broken line in each figure).

Therefore, there is no problem of incorrect attachment at 90 °, 180 °, and 270 ° in the rotation direction, and there is hardly any problem such as bending, vertical displacement, and lateral displacement. The occurrence of defects can be reduced, and the number of man-hours for the sticking operation can be reduced because there is no need to use nerves for the sticking operation.

Further, since the point portions 12 are scattered on the entire surface, as shown in FIG. 4A, even if the water droplet 20 adheres to a position where it could not be detected in the past, the position shown in FIG. As shown, the water droplet 20 falls on the point portion 12. Therefore, the water droplet 20 can be detected at almost any position. Therefore, submersion detection accuracy is improved.

[0011] In addition, since the outer shape is a square, it is not necessary to be bound by the direction of the outer shape in the sticking operation. As a result, the number of man-hours for the sticking operation can be further reduced.

In the above description, the case where the point portion 12 has a circular shape has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this case. It is possible to adopt. Furthermore, it is preferable to adopt a shape which is the same even when rotated by 90 °. For example, a cross shape having the same shape as shown in FIG. 5A or a square shape having the same shape as shown in FIG. 5B is employed.

[0013]

As described in detail above, claim 1 of the present invention
According to the submergence detection label described above, a large number of points having a color different from that of the base are scattered in an aligned state so as to have the same pattern as a whole even when the base is inverted. Even if you do, it will be exactly the same pattern,
Even if it is slightly bent, slightly shifted in the vertical direction, slightly shifted in the horizontal direction, rotated by 90 °, or rotated by 270 °, there is no great discomfort when viewed from the window. Therefore, there is no problem of misplacing at 180 ° in the rotation direction, and problems such as bending, vertical displacement, lateral displacement, misplacing at 90 ° in rotation direction and 270 ° misplacing. Is unlikely to occur, so that the occurrence of defective sticking can be reduced,
Since it is not necessary to use nerves for the attaching operation, the number of attaching steps can be reduced. Moreover, since the point portions are scattered, water droplets can be detected at almost all positions. Therefore, submersion detection accuracy is improved.
