Description

  The present invention relates to a method of expressing a scale in an article with a scale and an article with a scale that expresses a scale by the method, and more specifically, an illustration of a character or the like is displayed instead of a mere uniform scale.

JP-A-5-164501

  As described above, the scales of conventional general rulers and other scaled articles are uniform with no change as described above, are not interesting in design, and become so-called fancy stationery. It was not obtained. Therefore, the present invention has a scale that has an interesting and playful design that does not exist in the past, so that a ruler or other scaled article has the qualities of a fancy stationery, thereby creating new demand for the article. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for expressing a scale for the purpose, and an article with a scale expressing the scale by the method.

  The invention described in claim 1 for solving the above-described problem is a method for expressing the scale of a ruler, a major, a toothpick, a clock, and other articles with a scale, and by designing the scale itself. A scale expression method characterized by providing fancy.

  In one embodiment, the height of the scale is expressed in a non-uniform manner, the line connecting the top ends of the scale is expressed as a predetermined line, and the number added to the scale is designed and expressed, In addition, the scale is expressed by color coding as appropriate.

  Further, in one embodiment, an illustration and / or a character / figure is appropriately expressed in a blank portion or over the scale, in relation to or without relation to the scale, and the scale and the illustration and / or character / A graphic expresses a meaningful or story-like pattern, and expresses the scale, the illustration, and / or characters / graphics with irregularities. In one embodiment, the article is a ruler and has a shape other than a rectangle or a three-dimensional shape. In the case of a three-dimensional shape, the scale, the illustration, and / or characters / graphics can be expressed on each surface by different expression methods.

  The invention according to claim 12 for solving the above-mentioned problem is a ruler, a major, a toothpick, a watch or other scaled article in which a scale is expressed by any one of the above methods.

  As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the scale has a fun and unsophisticated design that is unprecedented in expressing scales in major, hakari, watches, and other scaled articles. Since the design is applied to the product itself, the entire product has fancy properties, and thus there is an effect that a new demand for the product can be expected.

It is a front view showing one embodiment of a scaled article (ruler) according to the present invention. It is a front view which shows other embodiment of the article | item with a scale (ruler) which concerns on this invention.

  Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scale expression method according to the present invention is a method for expressing a scale of a ruler, a major, a toothpick, a clock or other article with a scale, and the scale itself is designed to have fancy. It is a feature. The scaled article in the example shown and described below is a ruler, but it goes without saying that the contents can be applied as it is to the scale expression of major, peeled, watch and other scaled articles.

  FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are front views showing different embodiments of the present invention, respectively. As shown in the figures, the scales 2 of the ruler 1 are expressed with non-uniform heights. Here, the term “non-uniform” does not necessarily mean random, but a conventional line representing each millimeter is displayed thin and short, a line representing each centimeter is displayed thick and long, and 5 between each centimeter. This means that the line representing the millimeter is not displayed in a uniform manner such as expressing the line in the middle length and thickness.

  For example, a line connecting the upper ends of the scale 2 can be expressed as a specific line such as a wavy line or a zigzag line, or can be expressed in a bar graph shape. Further, the scale 2 can be expressed so as to represent a grassy spot (see FIG. 1), or can be expressed as a distant view of a building group. Further, the scale 2 may be expressed by color coding as appropriate.

  In one embodiment, a number representing the centimeter value or millimeter value of the scale 2 is designed. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the scale 2 is regarded as a flower, and the number is expressed by overlapping the flower portion. In the example shown in FIG. 2, some numbers are expressed in a thick and inclined state, and some numbers are expressed by various formulas and figures (0 is expressed as 100-100, 2 Is represented by incorporating 2 in the duck figure, 5 is represented by the strawberry (15) figure-10, 6 is represented by 3 × 2, 8 is represented by a bee figure, and 10 is a handgun figure. It is expressed by.)

  In this way, the illustration 3 and / or characters / graphics may be appropriately expressed in relation to the scale 2 in the blank portion of the ruler 1 or superimposed on the scale 2, but the illustration is appropriately displayed regardless of the scale 2. 3 and / or characters / graphics may be expressed. The scale 2 and the illustration 3 and / or characters / graphics can also represent a meaningful or story-like pattern.

  The ruler 1 can be a curved ruler by using a flexible resin. Further, the ruler 1 is not limited to a simple flat plate shape, but may have a shape other than a rectangle, for example, a circle, an ellipse, a shape imitating the contour of an animal, or any other shape. In addition, the shape is not limited to a flat shape, and may be a three-dimensional shape such as a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped, and the scale 2, illustration 3 and the like may be expressed on one surface or a plurality of surfaces. In this case, for example, different scenes of a certain story can be expressed on each side.

  Although the present invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention being defined by the appended claims. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.
