Description

The present invention relates to a banner flag. In particular, it relates to a small banner used indoors.

Nobori flags with various shapes of flags are known. A general banner flag has a structure in which a rectangular flag is supported by a support column having a height of about 2 meters and a horizontal axis member protruding vertically from the support column. Such relatively large banners are often installed outdoors.

In addition, small banners with a height of several tens of centimeters are known for arranging on product display shelves and desktops. Small banners are installed at counters of public facilities and financial institutions, or lined up on the tabletops of restaurants, and are used for decoration, announcements, advertisements, and the like.

The banner flag installed outdoors can draw the attention of the viewer by fluttering the flag in the wind. However, the banners installed indoors are less noticeable because they move less and are often stationary.

Various techniques have been studied to give the ornaments installed indoors an action that flutters in the wind. Patent Document 1 discloses an indoor carp streamer fluttering device for creating a natural fluttering feeling. The indoor carp streamer fluttering device of Patent Document 1 uses an electric motor and a plurality of transmission mechanisms to rotate a support column in a certain angle range, move the carp streamer up and down, and swing the carp streamers in opposite directions alternately. Is giving.

With an electric motor, it is possible to move a small banner like a carp streamer. However, electric power is required to operate the motor, and when the electric power supply is stopped, the movement of the banner flag is stopped. In addition, the structure using the motor becomes complicated, and the entire device becomes expensive.

JP 2011-92688

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the provision of a small banner for indoor installation, which moves so as to flutter in the wind by a simpler mechanism, has been made as a problem to be solved.

The banner of the present invention includes a strut, a horizontal shaft member mounted so as to be orthogonal to the strut, a strut mounting member arranged at the end of the horizontal shaft member, and a strut mounting member for arranging the horizontal shaft member above the strut, and a strut. And a flag portion attached to the horizontal shaft member. The support of the banner flag of the present invention is provided with a step between the lower part of the support having a large diameter and the upper part of the support having a small diameter, and a magnet is fixed to the upper end. The strut mounting member includes a cover portion that covers at least a part of the upper portion of the strut, and a magnet housed in the cover portion. In the banner of the present invention, the magnet at the upper end of the support and the magnet of the support member are arranged so that the same magnetic poles face each other and form a pair, and the repulsive force of the paired magnet causes the upper end of the support. It is characterized in that a space is formed between the magnet of the portion and the magnet of the support column mounting member.

Since a space is formed between the upper end of the support column and the support column mounting member of the horizontal axis member by the repulsive force of the magnet, the horizontal axis member can move up and down with respect to the support column. When the flag portion receives a breeze from the outside, the flag portion and the horizontal shaft member move up and down in conjunction with each other and operate so as to flutter in the wind.

It is preferable that the support support member of the banner of the present invention is further provided with a head portion that is fitted to the cover portion and supports the horizontal shaft member, and a magnet is fixed to the lower end portion of the head portion. Further, it is preferable that the cover portion has a cylindrical shape that covers the upper portion of the column, and the outer diameter of the cover portion is formed to be the same as the diameter of the lower portion of the column.

The support of the banner of the present invention is preferably a support having a length of 200 to 500 mm, a diameter of the lower part of the support of 5 mm to 12 mm, and a diameter of the upper part of the support of 4 mm to 10 mm. The flag portion is preferably a rectangle having a length of 150 mm to 450 mm and a width of 50 to 200 mm.

In the banner of the present invention, the horizontal axis member can move up and down with respect to the support column by forming a space between the upper end portion and the support column mounting member of the horizontal axis member. When the flag portion receives a breeze from the outside, the flag portion and the horizontal shaft member move up and down in conjunction with each other and operate so as to flutter in the wind. Indoors, breeze is generated by the passage of air conditioners and people, so the banner of the present invention can be constantly fluttering and attracting attention.

The banner of the present invention can operate semi-permanently without supplying energy from the outside. Further, since a motor or the like is not required, it is possible to provide a banner with a very simple structure at low cost.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the banner of the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the mounting positions of the banner support and the horizontal shaft member of the embodiment.

Hereinafter, the most preferable embodiment of the banner flag of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a front view of a banner flag of a suitable embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged view of a mounting position of a banner flag support and a horizontal shaft member. The banner flag 1 of the present embodiment includes a support column 2, a horizontal shaft member 3, a support column mounting member 4, and a flag portion 5.

The strut 2 is a columnar member, and includes a strut lower portion 21 having a large diameter and a strut upper portion 22 having a small diameter. A step 23 is formed between the lower part 21 of the support column and the upper part 22 of the support column. A disk-shaped magnet 6a having the same diameter as the upper part 22 of the support is fixed to the upper end of the support 2. The support column 2 can be formed of any hard material such as wood, resin, paper, or metal.

The horizontal axis member 3 is arranged on the upper part of the support column 2 so as to be orthogonal to the support column 2. The horizontal shaft member 3 is made of a rod material thinner than the support column 2, and a support column mounting member 4 for attaching the horizontal axis member 3 to the support column 2 is arranged at one end. The horizontal shaft member 3 can be formed of any hard material such as wood, resin, paper, or metal.

The support column mounting member 4 includes a cylindrical cover portion 41 and a head portion 42 fitted to the upper end portion of the cover portion 41. The head portion 42 is formed in a columnar shape as a whole, and a through hole for passing the horizontal shaft member 3 is opened in the radial direction. The strut mounting member 4 can be attached to the horizontal shaft member 3 by inserting the horizontal shaft member 3 into the through hole of the strut mounting member 4 and fixing it with a fixture 43 such as a pin or a screw.

A magnet 6b is fixed to the lower end of the head portion 42 of the support column mounting member 4. The magnet 6b is a disk-shaped magnet having the same diameter as the magnet 6a.

The inner diameter of the cover portion 41 of the support column mounting member 4 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the support column upper portion 22, and the cover portion 41 can cover at least a part of the outer circumference of the support column upper portion 22. When the cover portion 41 covers the column upper portion 22, it is preferable that a predetermined distance is maintained between the column upper portion 22 and the cover portion 41 so that there is a gap.

The outer diameter of the cover portion 41 of the support column mounting member 4 is preferably the same as the diameter of the support column lower portion 21. Since the outer diameter of the cover portion 41 and the diameter of the lower portion 21 of the column are the same, the cover portion 41 does not stand out unnecessarily. At the same time, as described below, the strut insertion portion 52 of the flag portion 5 does not get caught in the boundary between the cover portion 41 and the strut 2, and the aesthetic appearance of the entire banner 1 is maintained.

The magnet 6a at the upper end of the support column 2 and the magnet 6b at the lower end of the head portion 42 are arranged so that the same magnetic poles face each other and form a pair, and the repulsive force of the paired magnet causes the magnet 6a and the magnet. A space having a distance S when standing still is formed between the magnet and the magnet 6b. Therefore, the horizontal shaft member 3 and the support column mounting member 4 are not fixed to the support column 2, but are arranged in a state where the cover portion 41 is locked to the support column upper portion 22. The cover portion 41 has a length that does not reach the step 23 while covering a part of the upper portion 22 of the column when it is in a stationary state.

In the present embodiment, the flag portion 5 has a rectangular flag body 51. An annular strut insertion portion 52 is provided on one long side of the flag body 51, and a horizontal axis insertion portion 53 is provided on one short side. At the time of use, by passing the support 2 through the support insertion portion 52 and the horizontal shaft member 3 through the horizontal shaft insertion portion 53, the flag portion 5 is supported by the support 2 and the horizontal shaft member 3, and the flag portion 5 can be used as a banner flag 1. It becomes a state. It should be noted that the column insertion portions 52 at the uppermost portion and the central portion are actually arranged outside the cover portion 41 that covers the upper portion 22 of the columns. Since the plurality of support column insertion portions 52 are supported by the cover portion 41, the flag portion 5 swings left and right in accordance with the operation of the cover portion 41, resulting in a more natural movement.

The shape of the flag body 51 can be any shape other than a rectangle as long as the support column insertion portion 52 and the horizontal axis insertion portion 53 can be attached. Further, the flag portion 5 can be made of any sheet-like material such as cloth, resin sheet, or paper. By writing characters and figures on the flag body 51, advertisements and announcements can be made.

Preferably, the banner flag 1 can be used by attaching the lower end portion of the support column 2 to an arbitrary pedestal 7. Further, if a jig for fixing the lower end portion of the support column is used, it can be fixed to a wall surface or the like. The banner flag 1 can be fixed and used at an arbitrary angle within a range in which the support column mounting member 4 does not fall out from the support column 2.

In the present embodiment, the support column 2 preferably has a length in the range of 200 to 500 mm, a diameter of the support column lower portion 21 of 5 mm to 12 mm, and a diameter of the support column upper portion 22 in the range of 4 mm to 10 mm. Further, the flag portion 5 is preferably a rectangle having a length of 150 mm to 450 mm and a width of 50 to 200 mm. This dimension is a size that maintains a preferable distance between the support column 2 and the support column mounting member 4 due to the repulsive force of the magnets 6a and 6b, and as a result, a size suitable for the flag portion 5 to flutter in a breeze. That's right.

As the magnets 6a and 6b, it is preferable to use neodymium magnets containing neodymium, iron, and boron as main components. In this embodiment, the neodymium magnet is plated with nickel or the like to prevent the occurrence of rust. By using magnets 6a and 6b having a magnetic force of 200 to 400 mm terrace and 2000 to 4000 gauss in surface magnetic flux density, the distance between the magnets 6a and 6b can be preferably maintained.

The operation and effect of the banner 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The banner flag 1 installed indoors stands still in a state where the horizontal shaft member 3 and the flag portion 5 are not fixed to the support column 2 due to the repulsive force between the magnet 6a and the magnet 6b. Therefore, the horizontal shaft member 3 and the flag portion 5 sway up and down with respect to the support column 2 due to a slight movement of air such as the passage of a person or the wind of an air conditioner. Here, even when a large external force is applied to push down the support column mounting member 4, the lower end portion of the cover portion 41 abuts on the step 23 of the support column 2, so that the flag portion 5 is further lowered. Is prevented. When the external force is removed, the horizontal shaft member 3 and the flag portion 5 continue to move up and down again due to the repulsive force between the magnet 6a and the magnet 6b.

Further, in the present embodiment, the difference between the inner diameter of the cover portion 41 and the outer diameter of the upper portion 22 of the column is 0.2 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, so that the flag body 51 sways in the horizontal direction so as to flutter in the wind. The operation can be repeated. If the difference between the inner diameter of the cover portion 41 and the outer diameter of the upper portion 22 of the support column is larger than 2 mm, the distance between the cover portion 41 and the support column 2 will be larger than 2 mm. The portion 41 is tilted and comes into contact with the upper portion 22 of the support column, and the movement of fluttering in the wind is unlikely to occur. Further, in some cases, the horizontal shaft member 3 and the flag portion 5 rotate around the support column 2, and even at this time, the movement of fluttering in the wind is unlikely to occur. On the other hand, when the difference between the inner diameter of the cover portion 41 and the outer diameter of the upper portion 22 of the column is smaller than 0.2 mm, the lateral swing of the flag portion 5 becomes extremely small. When the difference between the inner diameter of the cover portion 41 and the outer diameter of the upper part 22 of the support column is 0.2 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, the vertical movement and the horizontal sway become an operation that flutters in the wind of the banner 1. , Brings an eye-catching effect.

An example of the banner flag 1 in which the effect of fluttering in the wind was obtained by the indoor test is shown below.

The pedestal 7 was attached to the support column 2 having a diameter of 10 mm, and the support column 2 was erected perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the horizontal shaft member 3 having a diameter of 3 mm was attached to the support column mounting member 4, and the distance between the magnet 6a and the magnet 6b at rest was adjusted to be 15 to 20 mm.

Using three types of samples of the banner flag 1, the operation of the banner flag 1 was observed indoors. The details of the sample dimensions are as follows.
Sample 1 in which a cloth flag portion 5 having a width of 70 mm and a height of 210 mm is attached to a support column 2 having a height of 304 mm and a horizontal shaft member 3 having a length of 100 mm.
Sample 2 in which a cloth flag portion 5 having a width of 90 mm and a height of 270 mm is attached to a support column 2 having a height of 354 mm and a horizontal shaft member 3 having a length of 120 mm.
Sample 3 in which a cloth flag portion 5 having a width of 100 mm and a height of 300 mm is attached to a support column 2 having a height of 404 mm and a horizontal shaft member 3 having a length of 140 mm.

As a result, for all of Samples 1 to 3, the effect of fluttering in the wind was observed, causing vertical movement and horizontal sway with a breeze that a person passed by.

Although examples of suitable banner flags have been described above, the dimensions and shapes of the banner flag 1 shown here are for the purpose of exemplification, and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model registration claims. Absent. The scope of the utility model claim includes banners that are variously modified and applied to the examples. For example, the shape of the flag portion 5 may imitate the shape of an animal or a plant. It is also possible to integrate the horizontal shaft member and the flag portion in advance by adhesion or the like.

The banner flag of the present invention can be suitably used for decoration, announcements, advertisements, etc. by installing it at an indoor tourist facility or a counter of a government office, or arranging it on the table of various stores or restaurants.
