Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device for direct lighting on a wall surface, and more particularly, to a signboard surface material provided directly on a wall surface of a building or a building, and illuminated from the back side of the signboard to provide a bright light. The present invention relates to a signboard configured to make a display stand out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a signboard is provided directly on a wall of a building or a building. Then, in the signboard, a milky white translucent flat plate with a pattern or characters displayed on the front surface is provided on the front surface, and by illuminating from the back side, a bright display that is easy to catch the observer's eyes appears, so-called Many interior-illuminated signboards are also used.

[0003] Such an internally illuminated signboard has a flat shape that can be observed only from the front, a stand-alone signboard that can be placed in front of a store or the like and can be observed from both front and rear, or a signboard that can be viewed from both the front and rear. Such as a three-dimensionally shaped wall-mounted signboard that is installed at the eaves or the space between the eaves and can be observed from diagonally forward,
There are various forms. And these three-dimensional signboards, for example, using a light-transparent milky white translucent synthetic resin plate (milk halfplate) and the like, to form a signboard face material of a desired shape by means such as vacuum molding or blow molding, For example, it is usually formed by fitting it into a frame made of metal or the like.

[0004] By the way, such an internally illuminated signboard needs to use a rigid signboard surface material mounting frame made of metal or the like because a device or the like for attaching a light source for illumination is provided inside the signboard. Since there is expansion and contraction of air due to heat generated from a light source, the signboard cannot have a sealed structure. Therefore, the moisture penetrates into the interior of the signboard as the air is breathed, thereby corroding the frame material and shortening the service life.
Alternatively, there has been a problem that the inner surface of the signboard face material is contaminated by the rust generated in this way, dust or insects that have entered the inside, and therefore extra maintenance costs are required for disassembling and cleaning.

[0005] Among the internally illuminated signboards, a signboard directly attached to a wall is generally designed according to the situation of the installation place, and particularly, a signboard directly attached to a large wall provided at the eaves of a store or a space between stores. For a signboard or the like, the design cannot be changed after the refraction state of the mounting wall surface, the mounting position, the dimensions, and the like are once determined. Therefore, when changing or expanding a store, it is necessary to dispose of the existing wall-mounted signboard and create and install a new wall-mounted signboard. However, since the entire signboard surface material must be replaced, there is a problem that not only waste that cannot be collected and reused is generated but also uneconomical.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional wall-mounted lighting signboard, and there is no possibility that contamination or the like inside the signboard face material will occur. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved wall-mounted direct-lighting signboard device that can easily and easily perform maintenance work and can easily and economically deal with pattern change and breakage.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wall-mounted direct-lighting signboard device comprising a pair of upper and lower signboard mounting rails provided substantially horizontally on a wall surface. A light source for illumination provided at an intermediate position between the pair of signboard mounting rails, and a light-transmitting synthetic resin straight cylinder having a substantially elliptical cross section, and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the center of the rear wall in the minor axis direction. A line portion signboard unit having a concave portion for accommodating a light source and having a coupling member with respect to the signboard mounting rail at an upper portion and a lower portion with the concave portion interposed therebetween.

Further, in the wall-mounted signboard lighting device of the present invention, one or more of the line signboard units, the front side shape of the longitudinal section substantially matches the front side shape of the substantially oval cross section, and the cross section is fan-shaped. One or more corner signboard units made of an arc-shaped light-transmitting synthetic resin curved cylindrical body and provided with a connecting member to the signboard mounting rail or wall surface are assembled so that their ends are adjacent to each other. Not only can a signboard with a rounded part be installed along the wall surface, but also a corner signboard unit can be attached to the bent part of the wall, and a line signboard unit can be assembled adjacent to this to bend in the middle Then, even along the wall surface extending in both directions, a continuous signboard can be installed according to the situation. Then, by arranging a light-impermeable end cover body on the end face of the assembly of the line part sign unit or the corner part sign unit, the shape of the end part of the sign is reduced to a shape cut at a right angle and roundness. There is an advantage that the degree of freedom which can be arbitrarily selected from the shape having the position and can correspond to the situation of the installation position is further increased.

Further, if the connecting member is configured to be detachable from the signboard mounting rail, an arbitrary signboard unit can be removed and replaced even in the signboard apparatus after installation, and therefore, It is possible to easily replace or repair the illumination light source provided at an arbitrary position. Moreover, when the coupling member to the signboard mounting rail is configured to be slidable along the signboard mounting rail,
When the signboard unit is damaged, for example, after the damaged signboard unit is removed, the adjacent signboard units can be sequentially moved, and the damaged signboard unit can be removed until the replacement signboard unit is refilled. External damage can be minimized very easily, such as by mounting it in the least visible position. Furthermore,
When repairing a signboard, it is possible to easily avoid deterioration in appearance due to adjacent old and new signboard units.
