Description

This invention relates to a receipt holder for use in establishments such as restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, and to a receipt holder with a decorative light-emitting function that can decorate and illuminate the exterior of the receipt holder with LEDs to display the store name, pattern, etc.

Conventional slip holders generally have a simple structure, consisting of a board made of resin or thick paper, with a spring-type or magnetic holder for holding the slip attached to the top of the board. However, in applications where a luxurious feel is to be created in establishments such as restaurants, bars and nightclubs, the resin board or thick paper is covered with leather, synthetic leather, Japanese paper or cloth to give it thickness, and is even folded into a book shape to create a sense of weight and luxury, as well as to have distinctive designs such as logos. However, there was nothing that offered any added value beyond this.

In recent years, light-emitting materials such as full-color LEDs and organic/inorganic ELs have become inexpensive and easily available, and coupled with the miniaturization and high capacity of batteries, they are used everywhere, not only for lighting but also for decorations, advertising materials, etc. Regarding slip holders, which are the subject of the present invention, Patent Document 1 describes a binder board with an illumination function, which is configured by arranging an illumination device composed of a light source such as an LED on the back of a light-transmitting binder board, and Patent Document 2 describes a clipboard with a light-emitting function, which uses an inorganic EL as the illumination device instead of the LED.

Patent Publication 2008-290344 Patent No. 5865543

The binder board and clipboard described in the above patent documents are intended to enable slips and documents placed on the board to be read in a dark place without the need for a separate lighting device. Many stores such as restaurants, bars, and nightclubs with a luxurious and ambience have relatively dark interiors, but they are not so dark that the text cannot be read, so they are not necessary. However, in the current situation where luminous materials such as full-color LEDs and organic/inorganic ELs are widespread, there is a demand to improve the image of such stores by using slip holders that have added value such as decorative effects and advertising effects in addition to the conventional heavy and luxurious feel.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a slip holder with a decorative light-emitting function for use in establishments such as restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, which can add value by using LEDs to decorate and illuminate the store name, pattern, etc. on the outside of the slip holder, thereby providing decorative and advertising effects.

In order to solve the above problems, the slip holder with decorative light-emitting function of this invention is a slip holder constructed by connecting a main body board and a door board via a connecting part, a main body LED case with LEDs arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface is fixed to the lower outer surface of the main body board, and a main body light guide plate with characters and designs engraved on it is fitted into the main body LED case, and a door LED case with LEDs arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface is fixed to the lower outer surface of the door board, and a door light guide plate with characters and designs engraved on it is fitted into the door LED case. Also, a holder part for clamping slips is arranged on the upper inner surface of the main body board, and a case containing an LED light emission control circuit consisting of a control part and a power supply part for emitting light from the LEDs is arranged in the center of the inner surface of the door board.

If the decorative light-emitting receipt holder of this invention is used in establishments such as restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, in addition to its use as a receipt holder, the exterior of the receipt holder can be decorated with light-emitting LEDs to display the store's name and pattern, adding value such as decorative and advertising effects, which has the enormous effect of significantly improving the image of the store.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the slip holder 1 with decorative light-emitting function of the present invention is a slip holder configured by connecting a main body board 2 and a door board 3 via a connecting part 4, a main body LED case 9 with LEDs arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface is fixed to the lower outer surface of the main body board 2, and a main body light guide plate 12 with characters and designs engraved is fitted into the main body LED case 9, and a door LED case 10 with LEDs arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface is fixed to the lower outer surface of the door board 3, and a door light guide plate 13 with characters and designs engraved into the door LED case 10 is fitted into the door LED case 10.

In addition, a holder section 5 for holding a slip 6 is provided at the upper part of the inner surface of the main body side board 2, and a case 8 containing an LED light emission control circuit consisting of a control section and a power supply section for illuminating each of the LEDs is provided at the center of the inner surface of the door side board 3.

As a fixing means for the body side LED case 9, the body side board 2 is sandwiched between a fixing plate 7 arranged on the lower part of the inner surface of the body side board 2 and the body side LED case 9, and fixed by screwing in a fixing screw 11a. As a fixing means for the door side LED case 10, the door side board 3 is sandwiched between a lower part of a case 8 arranged on the inner surface of the door side board 3 and the door side LED case 10, and fixed by screwing in a fixing screw 11b.

3, a control unit 16 for controlling the light emission of the LEDs 15a arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface of the main body side LED case 9 and the LEDs 15b arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface of the door side LED case 10, and a power supply unit 17 for supplying power to the control unit 16, the LEDs 15a and the LEDs 15b are built into the case 8. If a rechargeable battery 18 is connected to the power supply unit 17, it can be used cordlessly, which is preferable.

4, a power switch 20 for turning on/off the power supply to the control unit 16 and the LEDs 15a and 15b, and a power connector 21 for supplying power from an external source to the power supply unit 17 are provided on the side of the case 8. An AC adapter plug or a USB connector is connected to the power connector 21 to supply power from an external source. Note that, although the LEDs 15a and LEDs 15b are each constituted by six pieces, the number is not limited to six and may be any number.

The control unit 16 is not particularly limited, but a one-chip MPU is preferable. The LEDs 15a and 15b are also not particularly limited, but a serial LED that can be serially connected and driven with a built-in control circuit is preferable. The serial LEDs can control the emission color and emission intensity by inputting a 24-bit pulse train with different pulse widths and storing them in a shift register, and all the serial LEDs can be controlled by outputting a pulse train for the number of connected LEDs from the control unit 16. The control mode can be freely selected from a single color, blinking, gradation emission in which the color changes sequentially, and a combination of these. The LEDs 15b in the door-side LED case 10, which has the case 8 with the built-in LED emission control circuit, and the LEDs 15a in the main body-side LED case 9 are connected via a flat cable 19.

2 and 4, the main body side light guide plate 12 is decorated with a decorative processing 14a, and the door side light guide plate 13 is decorated with a decorative processing 14b. The decorative processing 14a, 14b is a special engraving of a design such as a store name, advertisement, or pattern on the back side of each light guide plate, and may be of any content. The design of the decorative processing 14a of the main body side light guide plate 12 and the decorative processing 14b of the door side light guide plate 13 may be different from each other. The main body side light guide plate 12 and the door side light guide plate 13 are preferably made of a transparent resin plate such as an acrylic plate, but are not particularly limited thereto.

The light emitted from the LEDs 15a arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface of the main body side LED case 9 passes through the inside of the main body side light guide plate 12 and is diffusely reflected by the processed surface of the decorative processing 14a, so that letters, patterns, etc. can be seen as decorative light emission from the front of the main body side light guide plate 12. Similarly, the light emitted from the LEDs 15b arranged in a line on the inner bottom surface of the door side LED case 10 passes through the inside of the door side light guide plate 13 and is diffusely reflected by the processed surface of the decorative processing 14b, so that words and patterns such as the store name, advertisement, etc. can be seen as decorative light emission from the front of the door side light guide plate 13.

Figure 4 shows the decorative light-emitting document holder 1 in an upright position when being used, with the underside of the main body side board 2 consisting of the main body side LED case 9 and the fixing plate 7 having a certain degree of width, and the underside of the door side board 3 consisting of the door side LED case 10 and the case 8 having a certain degree of width, allowing the document holder to stand on its own.

By using the slip holder 1 with decorative light-emitting function of this invention in this way, in addition to its use as a slip holder, the exterior of the slip holder can be decorated with LEDs to emit light with the store name, pattern, etc., thereby adding value such as decorative effects and advertising effects.

In addition, in FIG. 1, if a magnet 22 is embedded in the center of the fixed plate 7 and an iron plate 23 or the like is attached to the lower center of the case 8 facing it, this is preferable because it can prevent the main body side board 2 and the door side board 3 from opening accidentally when they are closed.

As described above, the decorative light-emitting document holder 1 of this invention has been described as a book-type in which the main board 2 and the door board 3 can be opened and closed, but it can also be used as a single board type that does not open and close.
