Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dissolve a problem that a whole projector is not floated high in the air at night for projection since an image screen is regarded as the one for projection on the ground in a conventional manner. <P>SOLUTION: An image device is obtained by injecting helium to a balloon, and the whole projector is floated high in the air at night to project images on the balloon from outer and inner parts. The device is provided with propellers having a remote controller to assist the floating force of helium with the weight of apparatuses. The propellers are rotated by solar power or electric power from the ground to generate a strong ascending force. The ascending force is applied to a conventional advertising balloon or a hot air balloon, etc. A simple lightning rod for preventing a lightning stoke is provided, and flash lamps and illumination are arranged for decoration and signals. The images are projected even on the clouds in the air. Air is put into the balloon to obtain on-water level images reflected against a water level or waves, and the distortion of a pattern image. The projector is also used as illumination for a stage. The images and the balloon are utilized as a large television set or a billboard. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image projected by a balloon and a projector.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional ad balloons are fried in the daytime, but recently they are used for lighting such as TVs where a light source is placed in a balloon to illuminate special construction such as a dike, which I acquired earlier. There was a spherical screen that was filled with air and inflated to project the image on the ground.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

Considering the present invention in another way, even if an image is projected from a ground to a balloon in the high night sky at a distance of 2 to 300 m by a video projector, the image is swayed left and right due to wind and air currents, and the position of the balloon deviates. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly correct the deviation and redirect the projector, and it is impossible to always operate manually so that the screen does not shift even a little. Even if we develop a machine for that purpose, the next time we project from the ground, the distance between the projector and the balloon is so far that the image is dark and the focus is unclear, so it is a special bright special super bright that can always project to the balloon It takes a huge amount of research cost and a long period of time to manufacture a large projector. Even if the machine is completed, it is projected from the ground, so only the lower half of the balloon is visible. In addition, it is a very expensive estimate to rent out the balloon to the user for the purpose of recovering the enormous development cost and for profit, and it is considered that it will not be used. Other than what was pointed out above, the first purpose of ad balloons is to attract attention and stand out, but the fact is that it has not changed since ancient times, but from several years ago, it has become common to see balloons in the shape of products or animals. But it has nothing to do with aerial images

[0004]

According to the present invention, since the projector always floats together with the screen of the balloon, the screen is not displaced even if the wind blows on the balloon. It is bright and clear, and spherical 360-degree images and conventional rectangular flat screens can be projected in the air by the buoyancy of a balloon. In recent years, a compact, lightweight, high image quality, bright projector that can be output from a personal computer has been developed for office use, and because of its small size, light weight, and high performance, it can be suspended in a helium so that images can be projected in the sky. Moreover, more than one projector can be installed by equipping the lightweight assisting propeller to the levitation assistance of claim 2. In addition, since the balloon naturally looks small when it is raised high in the sky at night, the propeller and helium's rising power is sufficient because it is made large so that it is easy to see even from a distance. Also, if the buoyancy of the propeller is sufficient, it is economical to reduce the amount of helium. Therefore, it can be provided to a considerable number of users at a low price compared to the conventional cost, which can contribute to economic development.

[Example] As shown in FIG.
The bases 1A2A and 3A are arranged, the capsule 3 is provided inside the balloon 2 in the partially enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the door 3-1 is provided so that the projector can be inserted from the outside, and the capsule can be closed so that hot air is blown by the fan. 3-3, the light source from the projector 1A is provided with a transparent heat-insulating glass window 3-7, and the image thereof is transmitted through the transmission screen 2+.
The image is projected from the inside of the balloon to the outside A and B, and is sent from the power source on the ground by the cable input 3-9 such as the power source of the projector 1A, video, and audio.

Further, the storage 3 inside the capsule 3 shown in FIG.
In -6, a VCR, a DV camera DVD, a CD, a personal computer and other small things can be stored, and from here, it is possible to directly output not only video but also audio and other data. Also, depending on the model of Projector 1A, a card 3-
Although 8 can be inserted and output can be performed, it is not always necessary to send a video or the like depending on the content from the ground.

Further, the capsule 3 is not provided inside the balloon like the capsule 3 shown in FIG. 2 but is provided outside like the 3+, a heat insulating glass window is provided directly on the balloon, and the projector 1A is inserted into the capsule and provided outside the balloon. Is also possible.

FIG. 3 is a bottom view, but explaining the positional relationship in which the image is reflected, the image projected from the projector 1A passes through the inside of the balloon and is projected in the range of the transmissive screen 1A + between 2A and 3A. You will see it from outside the balloon. Similarly, the other projectors 2A and 3A also project on the oppositely facing portions on the opposite side. Of course, if you are floating in the high night sky, you will look up at the night sky.

If a plurality of propellers 5 in FIG. 1 are provided to assist the buoyancy of the balloon, the number of propellers 5 may start to rotate in the opposite direction to the direction in which the propeller 5 rotates. If you change it, you can change the direction. The power that can consciously rotate the balloon can be sent by AC electricity from the ground, or the buoyancy can be added by rotating the propeller 5 with the energy of the sun from the solar 4 of the balloon, or a small and lightweight battery. Operation can be done with the remote control 13 on the ground. The present invention can also be applied to conventional balloons. A general balloon is injected with a helium and used for several days, and the buoyancy is weakened because it gradually slips out and the buoyancy is increased by providing a small and lightweight propeller of the present invention. It can be used for a long time compared to other products, and its shape is also unusual, so the advertising effect of ad balloons will be improved. The shape can be changed to UFO or any other shape, and a model is also acceptable.

The angle of the rudder 14 of the third turn can be slightly changed to slowly rotate or stop the balloon caused by the wind. It can also be applied to conventional ad balloons. The twisting stopper was attached to the rope and featured a wind that the rudder receives and a balloon that rotates with the propeller.

Since the present invention often uses electricity at high altitudes, a simple lightning rod 10 of FIG. 1 is provided so that lightning can be prevented as much as possible. This is an invention that can deal with the thunder and is not used during the thunder, and can be applied to a conventional balloon to contribute.

The speaker 9 shown in FIG. 1 is indispensable to the image. If the image is seen in a high night sky, a balloon is provided so that sound can be heard from the same sky. You can expect to hear three-dimensional spatial sound. It can also be used for music and information in the daytime when no image is displayed. It should be noted that even more dynamic sound can be expected by playing sound from the ground as well as the balloon at the same time.

Wheels 5 are provided in the lower part of FIG. 1 and are used for moving or moving on the ground. The arm also serves as a guard of the propeller, and the guard 13 reinforces the arm and also guards the propeller. The above equipment can be removed in order to reduce the weight in the air.

The night balloon image device of the present invention not only has a projector installed therein, but also vertically arranges the balloons as shown in FIG. 4 and projects them from the outside. The image is projected on the half 1A + portion, and the upper half of the screen 2A * is projected by the projector 2A of the upper balloon S2. By projecting from the top and bottom, 360-degree full-screen images are possible. The rope 8 that connects the upper and lower balloons makes the image a little obtrusive, so use a thick matte transparent tegu. Also, use it depending on the situation such as illumination 7, strobe 6 and propeller 5 in FIG. As for the wiring of the upper balloon S2, a thin cable is passed through at the portion of the Tegs 8 at the same time.
The material of the upper balloon umbrella 20 and the lower dish 20 ^* of FIG. 4 is the same as that of FIG. 1, but the solar 4, lightning rod 10, strobe 6 and FIG. Directly adhered and the Teg slope 8 ^* in the balloon S2 in FIG.
0 and plate 20 ^* are fixed.

In FIG. 5, both ends of a balance-type support are fixed to the ground by ropes, and 2A is provided opposite to the projector 1A, and when projected from both on the central balloon screen, a normal image of 360 degrees can be seen. Two small balloons and propellers assist the buoyancy, suspend the illumination below, and on a cloudy night, project the image to the clouds by projecting the projector upwards. Is also the first projection world. In the structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the pillar of the pipe passes through the center of the balloon to support both balances.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of a conventional square rectangular screen. The right figure is a plan view seen from the top. It is a combination of three square plates arranged vertically and three projectors combined. It is a transmissive screen that projects downwards and a normal square screen can be seen from outside in three directions using the tilt of the projector's performance. The inside of the screen 02 is hollow and is floated in the air by the helium of the balloon 2. It is also possible to inject helium into the screen 02 itself. The description of the irradiation of FIG. 4 is the same as that of FIG.

In FIG. 8, instead of the helium, air is injected into the balloon 2 and floated on the water surface, and when an image such as the pattern 1 is projected from the projector 1A, the image is distorted and deformed due to the sphere, and the shape of the original pattern 1 is completely lost. Strange images are of course changed, and moving images and colors multiply the mysterious image effect by tens of times by moving, the image is reflected on the water surface and reflected in ripples and ripples, and at the same time fireworks, lasers and smoke screens It is still fantastic if cooked. When a real person comes out from the bottom of the screen like image 2A + on the flat screen H on the right in FIG. 8, it is reflected on the water surface and is not an image. The illusion that a real person suddenly appeared in the water can be seen, and a mysterious and fantastic image of the water surface can also be seen on the flat screen 2 of the balloon.
The water surface below the flat screen on the right side is rippled, and the balloon on the left side has no waves on the water surface and looks like a kagami, a light and wave art created by nature. A pattern image is projected on the screen of a balloon floating on the surface of the water, and the distortion of the projected image and the effect of glare reflected on the ripples on the surface of the water are obtained. Invention of pattern distortion and water surface image of the balloon, which is characterized by the combination of the spherical distortion of the pattern and the illusion of real and unreal images that occur even when the image is realistic.

Next, the stage lighting is related to FIG. 9, and in the past, special lighting was performed by cutting out a pattern using a color filter or mask. For example, 2A + star lighting in FIG. 9 is simply rotated. , Even if the next screen is displayed, the same process is repeated. Therefore, if you use a projector and project the pattern along with the production as in the case of Fig. 8 for example, the pattern will change infinitely and the color can be changed freely, and the patterns of the stars 2A + and 1A + in Fig. 9 will be replaced one by one. You can change the color and size of the screen naturally according to the content without patterning. You can change the light quantity of the projector in recent years, so the stage distance is enough for high illumination models. The feature is that it is projected as special stage lighting with pattern software and a video projector.

The present invention shown in FIG. 10 is one in which a propeller is provided on a balloon or a hot air balloon so that the propeller can be rotated by the solar energy of sunlight to be operated. Even in competitions, there are some accidents such as electric wires getting caught in the goal.

As described above, according to the present invention, as in the name of the multi-purpose night balloon image device (except for a part), it is mainly for multi-purpose at night, and in particular, it has a dream feature that the balloon floats around an event. We have been researching and developing so that the shape can be used in various ways. 1 Explaining below, it is a dream-like invention that can be seen in the high night sky by projecting the image on the balloon of Fig. 5 or Fig. 4, and for example, the image of the universe and the image of the earth in a high starry sky. When projected, it looks as if the real earth or the moon were floating there, and the stars in the background are real, and I'm surprised. Since it's night, I don't know what it was projected on the balloon at first, so in the daytime, I use it as a 3D surround stereo sound from the sky and the ground at the same time. 3 By installing a lightweight propeller on this balloon,
It is a dream that the balloon itself can fly in the sky of a child as well as helping to float, and the propeller can be provided on the dream balloon with this invention.
Also, installing a propeller on the conventional ad balloon will give children a dream and save energy for helium gas. 4 Providing a propeller on a hot-air balloon that leaves the wind will also make it easier to control and double the fun. You can also reduce accidents. It can also be enjoyed as a model for operating Mokon. 5 It is also often used in high skies, and electrical appliances are installed (sometimes even in indoor stadiums such as domes), so a lightning rod is installed on this balloon to prevent lightning strikes. 6 Flashing flash allows you to confirm your location and prevent aircraft accidents and eye-catching effects. 7 Illuminations are as good as fireworks. For example, you can project a very large Christmas tree even in the sky over 300 m as shown in Fig. 8. Fantasy. This can be done by raising the altitude of the balloon and projecting the clouds onto the screen when the stars are cloudy, such as when it is cloudy, and adjusting the angle of the high-illuminance projector in FIG. (There was a story of projecting onto a cloud in the past, but even the conventional large-scale high-intensity projector was too far from the ground and all failed. With the balloon of the present invention, the irradiation distance of the cloud is infinite. If you use a projector to project an image of a pattern, such as the horizontal lines in Fig. 8, a flat screen is only an enlargement of the original image, but since the balloon has a spherical surface, the horizontal pattern The line pattern looks distorted and rounded like if it were clinging to a spherical surface, and it looks completely different depending on where you look at it. And the image projected on the spherical balloon is
It's more than you can imagine seeing at 1-300m above the night sky with a full starry sky. 9. Also, inflate the balloon with air instead of the helium to inflate it and fix it on the surface of the pond or lake at night with a floating rope so that it does not flow out, or by fixing a dedicated stand on the outside of the balloon, Fig. 8 and Fig. With the propeller of 1 removed. If you project the pattern on the balloon with a projector in the same way as above, the distorted pattern is reflected on the water surface, if the water surface is quiet, it looks like a mirror, and even in the breeze it becomes ripples and ripples and the pattern pattern is reflected on the lake surface And if you create a smoke screen, fireworks, or laser with a loud sound, you can see a new fantastic event that no one has experienced. 10 In addition, a realistic image is projected on the flat screen provided on the water surface on the right side of FIG. 8 by a projector as well. For example, when a person puts his / her hand out from the bottom of the screen and the head comes out next, it becomes the water surface. There is an illusion that a person appears from the real water surface, not the image. Characterized by a water surface image that no one has experienced after the above experiments11, a large-sized image advertising tower or pattern image is projected on a spherical surface or a flat surface with a high-illumination projector (conventional large-sized vision is 100 million Even if the equipment on the ground of the present invention can contribute at a low cost of 10% or less compared to the conventional equipment 12, the special stage lighting for theaters, TV stations, etc. As the event progresses, we collect a number of lighting colors, cutout patterns and filters and replace them according to the content.The same pattern can be swirled.The music related lighting also has an automatic rotating device, but it is still the same pattern. is there. This is an old-fashioned method. Electricity consumption is also huge. Therefore, of course, the above-mentioned pictures and patterns are CG-produced using a personal computer, etc., and many kinds of designs are selected and used according to the contents at that time, with the software of the pattern that is innovative and moves freely and the color pattern changes infinitely. Therefore, if the projector is used as stage lighting, it will be free from nerves because of the large number of labor, labor and cost as in the past. With pattern software for studio and stage lighting,
Featuring projector lighting. 13. Air can be injected into the balloon of the present invention so that it can be projected on the ground. When the helium is mixed with the air and the propeller rotates at full speed, it can rise slowly like a helicopter.
