Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-22234 Registered Utility Model No. 3048060 JP 2003-341267 A

  In the fixtures described in Patent Literatures 1 to 3, since the attracting surface of the permanent magnet is fixedly set, characters or designs are printed on the fixture, or sheets on which the characters or designs are printed are fixed to the fixtures. There are the following problems when using the side surface of the fixture as a display surface by pasting it on the side surface. That is, at least the attracting surface of the permanent magnet cannot be used as a display surface, and the surface adjacent to the attracting surface can be used as a display surface, but it is difficult to ensure sufficient visibility. There may be. Therefore, normally, only the surface opposite to the suction surface of the fixture is used as a display surface, and there is a problem that effective display using the entire side surface of the fixture cannot be performed. For example, in a sales promotion product or the like, it is preferable to increase the advertisement area as much as possible. However, the fixtures described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have a problem that the advertisement area cannot be sufficiently secured. Moreover, it had only the basic function of fixing the fixture to the mounting surface, and was less playful and lacking in fun.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a magnet bar that can be used effectively as an advertising surface, has fun, and can be manufactured at low cost.

  In the magnet bar according to the present invention, a permanent magnet is movably housed in a hollow elongated casing having a polygonal cross section, and the side surface of the casing serves as a display surface.

  In this magnet bar, the fixed piece and the magnet bar are attached to the mounting wall so that a sheet-like fixed piece made of paper or the like is sandwiched between the mounting wall such as a steel wall that can be attracted by the magnet and the magnet bar. Thus, the magnet bar and the fixed piece are attracted and held on the mounting wall surface by the magnetic attraction force of the permanent magnet built in the magnet bar. Further, at this time, the permanent magnet moves to the mounting wall surface side by the magnetic attraction force in the casing, and the magnet bar and the fixed piece are attracted and held on the mounting wall surface, so that sufficient magnetic attraction is achieved while using a small permanent magnet. As well as securing the force, even if any side of the casing with a polygonal cross section is on the mounting wall side, the fixed piece can be fixed to the mounting wall surface, so characters and designs can be printed or stamped on the entire outer surface of the casing, A sheet on which characters and designs are printed can be pasted and used as a display surface. Also, if you hold the magnet bar by hand or roll it so that the attracting surface is switched sequentially on the mounting wall surface, the permanent magnet will move with a rattling noise in the casing. Not only functions as a fixture, but also a simple toy-like fun can be provided to users.

  Here, the casing may be provided with partition walls that divide the internal space into a plurality of storage spaces, and permanent magnets may be installed in the plurality of storage spaces arranged at intervals. In this case, a small permanent magnet can be used, and the manufacturing cost of the magnet bar can be reduced.

  It is also preferable that the permanent magnet is housed in the casing so that the south pole and the north pole of the permanent magnet are arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the casing. In this case, the magnetic attraction force between the side surface around the longitudinal direction of the magnet bar and the mounting wall surface can be set uniformly on all side surfaces, and the fixed piece can be fixed to the mounting wall surface with a uniform magnetic attraction force. It becomes possible to do.

  A permanent magnet is housed in the casing so that the S pole and N pole of the permanent magnet are arranged on both sides of the casing in the longitudinal direction, and the S pole and N pole of the permanent magnet are larger than the permanent magnet. It is also preferable to attach a yoke. With this configuration, the magnetic attraction force between the side surface around the longitudinal direction of the magnet bar and the mounting wall surface can be set uniformly on all the side surfaces, and the fixed piece can be attached to the mounting wall surface with a uniform magnetic attraction force. It can be fixed. In addition, since the magnetic path of the permanent magnet is formed by the yoke so as to extend to the outer peripheral side in the longitudinal direction of the casing, a sufficient magnetic attractive force can be secured even for a permanent magnet with a relatively weak magnetic force and available at low cost. It becomes possible to do.

  With the magnet bar according to the present invention, the entire outer surface of the casing can be used as a display surface. Further, since the permanent magnet moves with a rattling sound in the casing, not only a function as a fixing tool for fixing the fixed piece but also a simple toy-like fun can be provided to the user. Furthermore, if the casing is made opaque, it is possible to realize an attractive product that intrigues the user regarding the internal structure.

  Here, if the casing is provided with partition walls that divide the internal space into a plurality of housing spaces, and permanent magnets are housed in the plurality of housing spaces arranged at intervals, a small permanent magnet can be used. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the magnet bar can be reduced.

  Further, when a permanent magnet is housed in the casing so that the S pole and N pole of the permanent magnet are arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the casing, magnetic adsorption between the side surface around the longitudinal direction of the magnet bar and the mounting wall surface. The force can be set uniformly on all sides, and the fixed piece can be fixed to the mounting wall surface with a uniform magnetic attraction force.

  Further, a permanent magnet is provided in the casing so that the S pole and N pole of the permanent magnet are arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the casing, and the S pole and N pole of the permanent magnet are more than the permanent magnets. When a large plate-shaped yoke is attached, the magnetic attraction force between the side surface around the longitudinal direction of the magnet bar and the mounting wall surface can be set uniformly on all the side surfaces. It can be fixed to the mounting wall surface. In addition, since the magnetic path of the permanent magnet is formed by the yoke so as to extend to the outer peripheral side in the longitudinal direction of the casing, a sufficient magnetic attractive force can be secured even for a permanent magnet with a relatively weak magnetic force and available at low cost. It becomes possible to do.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the magnet bar 1 includes a hollow elongated casing 2 having a polygonal cross section, and a magnet 3 made up of a plurality of permanent magnets movably mounted in the casing 2. This is for fixing the fixed piece 4 to the mounting wall portion 5 made of a metal material such as iron adsorbed by the magnet 3.

  The casing 2 is composed of a main body 10 and a lid 11 and can be composed of any synthetic resin material or metal material as long as the material is not attracted by the magnet 3. Moreover, the cross-sectional shape of the casing 2 can be formed into an arbitrary shape such as a square, a rectangle, a triangle, or a hexagon. Further, both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the casing 2 can be configured to be flat, or can be configured to have a shape imitating a train or the like. Moreover, the length of the casing 2 can be appropriately set according to the size of the fixed piece 4 to be fixed.

  The main body 10 is provided with partition walls 12 that divide the inside of the casing 2 into a plurality of rooms at set intervals. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, three sets of two partition walls 12 are provided at intervals, and the inside of the casing 2 is partitioned into seven spaces by six partition walls 12, and one set of two sheets An accommodating space 13 for accommodating the magnet 3 is formed between the partition walls 12. In the present embodiment, three sets of two partition walls 12 are provided for the purpose of loading three magnets 3 in one magnet bar 1, but the number of partition walls 12 is the number of magnets 3 housed in the casing 2. It can be set appropriately depending on the situation.

  However, the partition wall 12 on the main body 10 side may be omitted, the partition wall 12 may be provided on the lid body 11 side, and the internal space of the casing 2 may be divided into a plurality of sections in the closed state. The main body 10 and the lid body 11 may be provided with a partition wall 12 so that the inner space of the casing 2 is partitioned into a plurality of sections with the lid closed. In addition, the partition wall 12 is preferably formed in a plate shape in order to ensure the sliding stability of the magnet 3, but it can also be configured in one or more bar shapes. Furthermore, instead of the partition wall 12, a block-like or box-like partition member made of another member can be fixed inside the casing 2, and an accommodation space 13 for accommodating the magnet 3 can be formed in the casing 2. is there.

  The lid 11 may be of any configuration as long as the magnet 3 is loaded in the main body 10 and the main body 10 can be closed.

  As the magnet 3, a permanent magnet made of any material such as an alnico magnet, a ferrite magnet, an iron / chromium / cobalt magnet, a manganese / aluminum / carbon magnet, a rare earth magnet, and a bonded magnet can be employed. Further, in the present embodiment, the magnet 3 is formed in a columnar shape as shown in FIG. 2, but may be formed in a polygonal column shape such as a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped. When configured in a columnar shape, the casing 2 can be suitably used when the cross-sectional shape of the casing 2 is, for example, a triangle, other than a square or a rectangle. The magnet bar 1 can be attracted and held on the mounting wall 5 with a strong magnetic force.

  The magnet 3 can be configured such that the S pole and the N pole of the magnet 3 are arranged on a line segment perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the casing 2, but the four side surfaces around the longitudinal direction of the casing 2 can be used. In order to set the magnetic attraction force of each of 14 uniformly, the accommodating space 13 is arranged so that the axial direction of the magnet 3 is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the casing 2 and the S pole and the N pole are arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the casing 2 It is loaded inside. A slight gap is formed between the magnet 3 and the partition wall 12, and the magnet 3 can move freely in the accommodation space 13 with its axial direction being the longitudinal direction of the casing 2, but the axial center is the longitudinal direction of the casing 2. It is guided by the partition wall 12 so as not to face in any other direction. The number of magnets 3 can be set to an arbitrary number according to the size and thickness of the fixed piece 4 to be fixed.

  On the four side surfaces 14 around the longitudinal direction of the casing 2, display surfaces on which characters, pictures, and the like are directly printed or stamped are formed. However, a display surface can be formed by sticking a sheet or film on which characters or designs are printed to the casing 2, or a character or design can be printed on a film that shrinks when heated to form a cylinder. It is also possible to provide a display surface on which characters and patterns are formed by thermally shrinking the film in a state of being packaged on the casing 2 and integrally packaging the film on the casing 2. The characters and patterns to be printed or stamped can be arbitrarily set according to the purpose of use of the magnetic bar 1, for example, when used as a promotional product, a display screen on which a product advertisement is printed or stamped is provided. In the case of using as a stationery, a display surface on which characters or characters of various animations are printed or stamped can be provided. In addition, it is possible to print or stamp characters, pictures, etc. so that the entire magnet bar 1 has a design imitating a train or a trailer. Furthermore, both end surfaces of the casing 2 in the longitudinal direction can be used as display surfaces.

  In the magnet bar 1, the fixed piece 4 and the magnet bar 1 are attached to the attachment wall 5 so that the sheet-like fixed piece 4 made of a piece of paper is sandwiched between the attachment wall 5 and the magnet bar 1. The magnet 3 housed in the magnet bar 1 moves to the mounting wall 5 side in the casing 2 by the magnetic attraction force, and the magnet bar 1 and the fixed piece 4 are attracted to the mounting wall 5 by the magnetic attraction force of the magnet 3. The fixed piece 4 is held and fixed to the mounting wall 5.

  Thus, since the magnet 3 can move toward the mounting wall 5 in the casing 2, a sufficient magnetic attractive force can be secured while using the small magnet 3, and any side surface of the casing 2 having a polygonal cross section can be secured to the mounting wall. Even in the state of being on the portion 5 side, the fixed piece 4 can be fixed to the mounting wall portion 5 with a uniform suction force. In this way, the magnet bar 1 can be attracted with a uniform magnetic attraction force on each of the four side surfaces 14 around the longitudinal direction of the casing 2, so that these four side surfaces 14 can be printed or engraved with characters or patterns. It can be used as a display surface. Further, when the magnet bar 1 is shaken by hand or rolled so that the attracting surface is sequentially switched on the mounting wall 5, the magnet 3 moves with a rattling noise in the casing 2. In addition to the function as a fixing tool for fixing, a simple toy-like fun can be provided to the user.

  In place of the magnet 3 made of a permanent magnet alone, as in the magnets 3A and 3B shown in FIG. It is also possible to employ a disk-shaped two yokes 21 with the yokes 21 fixed to both the S-pole side and the N-pole side of the permanent magnets 20A, 20B by an adhesive or the like. In this case, the magnetic attraction force between the four side surfaces 14 and the mounting wall 5 around the longitudinal direction of the magnet bar 1 can be set uniformly on all the side surfaces 14, and the uniform magnetic attraction force can be set. Thus, the fixed piece 4 can be fixed to the mounting wall 5. Further, since the magnetic paths of the permanent magnets 20A and 20B are directed to the side surface 14 of the casing 2 by the yoke 21, even if the permanent magnets 20A and 20B are relatively weak and can be obtained at a low price, a sufficient magnetic attractive force can be obtained. It can be secured. The yoke 21 is formed in a polygonal plate shape other than a circle, such as a rectangle or a square, if the size is slightly larger than the side surfaces of the permanent magnets 20A and 20B on the S pole side and the N pole side.
