Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To increase the appeal to the viewer as a novel thing. SOLUTION: Indications 2 such as characters are fitted and joined to a base plate 1 made of a fluorescent plate with a gap 6 therebetween. The display 2 is cut out from the fluorescent plate by laser. A milky white acrylic plate 7 is fixed to the back surface of the base plate 1, and a fluorescent lamp 9
Illuminate with The illumination is diffused by the acrylic plate 7 so that the lamp 9 does not become a shadow, but reaches the base plate 1 and the display 2 and shines. At this time, due to the presence of the gap 6, a border is obtained with the color of light, and the display 2 emerges.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a signboard that appeals to a viewer by emitting fluorescent material.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 As a signboard of this kind, there is generally a signboard disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-185513, in which a film on which various displays are drawn is attached to a fluorescent plate, light is irradiated from behind, and the display is raised by light emission from the fluorescent plate. It is a target.

However, the display mode has a poor three-dimensional effect and a low appeal.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 7-319409 and 7-152334 disclose signboards that cut out the display to give a three-dimensional effect, but lack sufficient appeal.

[0005] Under the circumstances described above, the present invention has an object to provide a signboard with a high degree of appeal to a viewer.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention has made a display appealing to a viewer made of a fluorescent material, and the display is swelled from the base plate. If it is made of a fluorescent material, it will emit light from the entire display when it receives light, increasing its appeal. In addition, the bulging gives a three-dimensional effect, and the whole shines by emitting light, thereby further increasing the appeal.

[0007] Specifically, a display made of a fluorescent material is provided on a base plate in an expanded state. In this configuration, the display can be fitted and joined to the base plate, and in this case, the number of joining surfaces increases and the joining degree becomes stable. The joining may be performed only by the fitting force, but it is preferable to use an adhesive. As the adhesive, fluorescent adhesives of various colors can be used.

[0008] Various types of characters, pictures, patterns, and the like can be used for the display, and the production may be performed by cutting out from a plate with a laser. This is because laser cutting can perform various kinds of cutting with an accuracy of several microns.

[0009] A fluorescent material can also be used for the base plate. If both the base plate and the display are made of a fluorescent material, both of them shine and shine, and the degree of appeal increases. The taste changes. Also, when the display is fitted to the base and joined, if a gap is formed between the fitting hole (recess) and the entire periphery of the display, the color of the light in the gap further lifts up the display and refreshes it. Increase.

A light-shielding layer can be formed on the back surface of the display, and by adjusting the light-shielding degree of the light-shielding layer, the degree of light emission of the display can be changed and the taste can be changed. Silk screen printing or the like is used to form the light shielding layer.

In the signboard having the above-described structure, it is preferable that light is positively applied to the display. For this purpose, the base plate is made translucent, a light diffusing plate is provided on the back surface of the base plate, and a light source from behind is provided. Thus, a configuration for supplying the light can be adopted. A milky white acrylic plate or the like can be used as the light diffusion plate, and various types of light sources such as a fluorescent lamp can be used as the light source. In this signboard, if the display penetrates the base plate and the back surface is in contact with the light diffusing plate, the light is directly illuminated from the light diffusing plate to the display and the brightness increases.

Embodiment

 FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment, which relates to a timepiece type signboard, in which a base plate 1 is made of a fluorescent plate, and a display 2 such as a character is cut out from the same fluorescent plate. As the two fluorescent plates, for example, an acrylic plate manufactured by Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. and having a trade name of Acrylite (registered trademark) is used. The fluorescent color is appropriately selected, and the base plate 1 and the display 2 have different colors. For example, it is assumed that the base plate 1 has a mountain-blow color and the display 2 has a red color.

As shown in FIG. 4, the display 2 is manufactured by cutting out the fluorescent plate 3 with a laser 4. When the board 3 is thin, several boards 3 may be cut out by bonding, or a plurality of the same display 2 may be cut out and stacked.

A hole 5 in which the display 2 fits is cut out by the laser 4 in the base plate 1, and a small gap 6 is formed between the hole 5 and the periphery of the display 2. This gap 6 can be formed by an inclined surface at the time of laser cutting. By doing so, the entrance of the hole 5 is wide and the bottom is narrow, and the display 2 is in the fitted state, so that the mounting property is increased. A milky white acrylic plate (light diffusion plate) 7 is adhered to the back surface of the base plate 1, and the display 2 is adhered to the acrylic plate 7. For the bonding, a double-sided tape or various adhesives are used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the base plate 1, the acrylic plate 7, and the laminated plate of the display 2 are housed in a casing 8, and a round fluorescent lamp 9 is provided on the back side of the acrylic plate 7. . When the fluorescent lamp 9 emits light, the light is diffused by the acrylic plate 7 so that the shadow of the lamp 9 disappears and enters the base plate 1 and the display 2 to emit light. At this time, due to the presence of the gap 6, the border is obtained with the color of light, and the display 2 emerges.

A clock drive (not shown) is provided in the casing 8, and the hand 10 is moved by the drive. A cover 11 made of a transparent plate is put on the front surface of the casing 8. Various patterns 11 can be formed on the base plate 1 by cutout or bulging joint similar to that of the display 2.

As a mode of attaching the display 2 to the base plate 1, as shown in FIG. 5A, the display 2 is simply bonded without forming the hole 5, and as shown in FIG. 5 and joining. Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, a white light-shielding film (layer) 12 can be formed on the back surface of the display 2 by silk-screen printing. By changing the print density, the degree of light blocking can be adjusted.

Although the above embodiment is of a watch type, it is a matter of course that the present invention can be applied to various signs of other aspects.

[Effect of the invention]

 In the present invention, the display to be conveyed to the viewer is made of a swelled fluorescent material, so that it is a novel and unprecedented one and the degree of appeal is increased.
