First Embodiment
A first embodiment of a protruding signboard 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Basic structure of protruding signboards]
An example of a basic configuration of a protruding signboard 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an example of the appearance of a protruding signboard 1 according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a plan view illustrating an example of the structure of the base portion 20 shown in FIG.
FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating an example of the structure of the pressing portion 40 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment is composed of a sign portion 10, a base portion 20, an intermediate portion 30, and a pair of pressing portions 40, 40.

In this embodiment, all of these components are made of synthetic resin, for example, acrylic resin, but are not limited to this. For example, they may be molded from a metal material, for example by pressing, or may be made of a mixture of metal and resin, or some of the components may be made of metal or resin. The material may be any material depending on the embodiment, but it is preferable to use synthetic resin for light weight and ease of handling.

In this embodiment, the components other than the sign section 10, namely the base section 20, the intermediate section 30, and the pair of pressing sections 40, 40, are molded from a transparent or semi-transparent material. As described below, the sign section 10 and the intermediate section 30 are integrally formed, for example, by injection molding, but are not limited to this. The sign section 10 and the intermediate section 30 may be provided as separate bodies, and each may have a corresponding convex section or concave section, which may be connected to each other by a fitting structure. Alternatively, the sign section 10 and the intermediate section 30 may be configured to be bonded to each other with double-sided tape DT.
In this embodiment, the base portion 20 and the intermediate portion 30 are provided to be transparent or semi-transparent, but are not limited thereto. Either or both of the base portion 20 and the intermediate portion 30 may be provided to be colored with a predetermined color (colored) like the sign portion 10.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the base portion 20 is the base portion of the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment. The base portion 20 has a wall surface engagement portion 23 (wall surface engagement surface) and a first flat surface portion 24.

The wall surface engaging portion 23 is a portion that directly engages with the wall surface. The first flat surface portion 24 is a portion that is formed flat in areas other than the wall surface engaging portion 23. The base portion 20 is attached to the wall surface via the wall surface engaging portion 23.

Specifically, the base portion 20 is formed in a rectangular thin plate shape (one example of "extending in a plate shape"), that is, the wall surface engaging portion 23 described above is the back surface of the base portion 20, and the first flat surface portion 24 described above is the front surface of the base portion 20. Before being attached to the wall surface, the double-sided tape DT is attached to the wall surface engaging portion 23, which is the back surface of the base portion 20, with one side of the double-sided tape DT adhered and the other side having a release liner attached (see FIG. 4).
In this embodiment, the base portion 20 is formed in a thin plate shape, but is not limited to this. The base portion 20 may be formed in a mesh shape or the like, extending in a plate shape with weight removed, or may be formed in a block shape without being limited to a plate shape. This is determined as desired depending on the embodiment.

In the base portion 20, a first mating groove 21 is formed in a straight line (an example of "extending linearly") along the longitudinal direction of the first flat surface portion 24, i.e., in the widthwise center of the surface.

In this embodiment, the first fitting groove 21 is formed as a through groove, but is not limited to this. The first fitting groove 21 may be formed as a bottomed groove. The first fitting groove 21 is also formed in a straight line, but is not limited to this. As long as a fitting structure can be realized with the protrusion 31A of the intermediate portion 30 described later, various linear extending shapes such as a wave shape or a rectangular wave shape can be adopted. In this case, the protrusion 31A of the intermediate portion 30 is also formed, for example, in a wave shape or a rectangular wave shape corresponding to the shape of the first fitting groove 21.

Further, a pair of upper and lower second fitting grooves 22, 22 are formed in the first flat surface portion 24 (surface) of the base portion 20.
In this embodiment, the pair of upper and lower second fitting grooves 22, 22 are through grooves similar to the first fitting groove 21, but are not limited thereto and may be formed as bottomed grooves.

Furthermore, one of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 (the upper side as viewed in FIG. 1) is disposed at the upper end (an example of "one end") of the first fitting groove 21, and is formed in a straight line (an example of "extending in a line") so as to be perpendicular (an example of "intersecting") to the first fitting groove 21 at its upper end. At that time, one of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 is bisected by the first fitting groove 21 and has a first groove portion 22A and a second groove portion 22B.

Meanwhile, the other of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 (the lower side as viewed in FIG. 1) is disposed at the lower end (an example of the "other end") of the first fitting groove 21, and is formed in a straight line (an example of "extending in a line") so as to be perpendicular (an example of "intersecting") to the first fitting groove 21 at its lower end. Similarly, the other of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 is bisected by the first fitting groove 21 and has a first groove portion 22A and a second groove portion 22B.

Four nail holes 25 are formed through each of the four corners of the foundation 20 so that the foundation 20 can be fixed to the wall surface using nails NL.

As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the foundation part 20, respectively, and press the intermediate part 30 against the foundation part 20 when the intermediate part 30 is attached to the foundation part 20. Each of the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 is formed with a first fitting part 41A, a second fitting part 41B, and an engagement recess 43 formed between the first fitting part 41A and the second fitting part 41B. The first fitting part 41A fits into the first groove part 22A. The second fitting part 41B fits into the second groove part 22B.

Specifically, the pressing portion 40 is formed in a generally U-shape and in a thin plate shape (one example of "extending in a plate shape") and has a pair of legs 41, 41 and a connecting portion 42 that connects the tips of the pair of legs 41, 41. Each of the base end bottom edges of the pair of legs 41, 41 is the first fitting portion 41A or the second fitting portion 41B described above. The portions of the pair of legs 41, 41 and the connecting portion 42 that extend to each of their inner side edges are the engagement recesses 43 described above.

Then, as described below, when the intermediate portion 30 is attached to the foundation portion 20 by fitting its protrusion 31A (one side edge of the first frame portion 31 described below) into the first fitting groove 21 of the foundation portion 20, the first fitting portion 41A (one leg portion 41) of the pressing portion 40 is fitted into the first groove portion 22A of the second fitting groove 22 in each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40. At the same time, the second fitting portion 41B (the other leg portion 41) of the pressing portion 40 is also fitted into the second groove portion 22B of the second fitting portion 41B. In this way, each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 is fitted into and fixed in the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22.

When fixed, each of the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 presses the intermediate part 30 towards the base part 20 by engaging its engagement recess 43 with at least a part of the part opposite the part where the protrusion 31A is arranged in the intermediate part 30 (i.e., one side edge part of the first frame part 31 of the intermediate part 30 (left side edge part as viewed in FIG. 1)) (i.e., the other side edge part of the first frame part 31 of the intermediate part 30 (rear side, right side edge part as viewed in FIG. 1)).

As shown in FIG. 1, the sign unit 10 displays figures and the like to inform (inform) the viewer, and in this embodiment displays pictograms representing both male and female. Furthermore, the sign unit 10 in this embodiment is composed of a frame that has a roughly rectangular cross section and extends like a curved rod, and the frame is appropriately bent to express the pictogram as if it were drawn in one stroke. Furthermore, the female portion of the pictogram is colored red, and the male portion is colored blue. In this embodiment, the sign unit 10 and the middle unit 30 are provided as a single unit.

The intermediate portion 30 is disposed between the base portion 20 and the sign portion 10, with one end (the left end as viewed in FIG. 1) attached to the first flat surface portion 24 of the base portion 20 and the other end (the right end as viewed in FIG. 1) supporting the sign portion 10. The left end of the intermediate portion 30 is provided with a protrusion 31A that is formed in a straight line (an example of "extending in a line") and fits into the first fitting groove 21 described above.

Specifically, the intermediate portion 30 has a first frame portion 31, a second frame portion 32, and a third frame portion 33, each of which has a generally rectangular cross section and is formed in a straight rod shape (an example of "extending in a rod shape").

The first frame portion 31 is disposed on the left side as viewed in FIG. 1 and extends vertically. Therefore, one side edge of the first frame portion 31 (the left edge as viewed in FIG. 1) is configured as the linear protrusion 31A described above. In other words, the left edge of the first frame portion 31 of the intermediate portion 30, which is configured as the linear protrusion 31A, is fitted into and fixed to the first fitting groove 21 of the base portion 20 described above.

The second frame portion 32 and the third frame portion 33 extend horizontally (left-right direction as viewed in FIG. 1), with their base ends (left end as viewed in FIG. 1) connected to the other side edge portion (right edge as viewed in FIG. 1) of the first frame portion 31 and their tip ends (right end as viewed in FIG. 1) supporting the sign portion 10.

In this embodiment, the second frame portion 32 is connected to the first frame portion 31 between the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 along the longitudinal direction of the first frame portion 31 with the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 attached to the foundation portion 20. The third frame portion 33 is connected to the first frame portion 31 outside one of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 (in this embodiment, the lower side as viewed in FIG. 1) along the longitudinal direction of the first frame portion 31 with the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 attached to the foundation portion 20.

The protruding sign 1 thus constructed is attached to a specified wall surface and assembled as a sign, as described below.

[Procedure for installing protruding signs]
The procedure for mounting the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a state before the foundation portion 20 is attached to a wall surface.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how the foundation portion 20 is attached to a wall surface.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how the foundation portion 20 is fixed to a wall surface.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how the intermediate section 30 and the display section are attached to the base section 20 fixed to a wall surface.
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how a pair of pressing sections 40, 40 is attached to an assembly of the base section 20, the intermediate section 30 and the display section.

Before mounting on the wall, the aforementioned sign section 10, the integrated base section 20 and middle section 30, and the retaining section 40 are each prepared separately as assembly parts. The worker mounts the protruding sign 1 on the wall by assembling each assembly part together in the appropriate time.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the double-sided tape DT is attached to the back surface (wall surface engagement portion 23) of the base portion 20 with one side adhered and the other side having a release liner attached. The worker peels the release liner off the double-sided tape DT to expose the adhesive surface (adhesive portion) on the other side of the double-sided tape DT.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, with the adhesive surface of the other side of the double-sided tape DT exposed on the back surface (wall surface engagement portion 23) of the foundation portion 20, the worker aligns the foundation portion 20 with a predetermined wall surface and then abuts the adhesive surface against the wall surface. This abutment causes the foundation portion 20 to be adhesively fixed to the wall surface. In this embodiment, the foundation portion 20 is fixed so that its longitudinal direction is approximately aligned with the vertical (up and down) direction.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, a worker uses, for example, a hammer to insert nails NL into each of the nail holes 25 at the four corners of the base part 20 that is glued and fixed to the wall surface. This causes the base part 20 to be nailed firmly to the wall surface. As a result, the strength of the base structure of the protruding signboard 1 is increased, and for example, the protruding signboard 1 is prevented from falling.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the worker inserts the linear protrusion 31A of the intermediate section 30, i.e., the left edge of the first frame section 31, into the first fitting groove 21 of the base section 20 to fit it together. This fitting fixes the integrated intermediate section 30 and sign section 10 to the base section 20.

Next, as shown in Figure 8, the worker attaches the pair of retaining sections 40, 40 with the intermediate section 30 and the sign section 10 integrated together being fitted into the first fitting groove 21 of the base section 20 at its linear protrusion 31A, i.e., the left edge of the first frame section 31, and fixed to the base section 20.

The worker inserts the first fitting portion 41A (one leg portion 41) of each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 into the first groove portion 22A of the second fitting groove 22, and also inserts the second fitting portion 41B (the other leg portion 41) into the second groove portion 22B of the second fitting groove 41B. By inserting each of the first fitting portion 41A into the first groove portion 22A of the second fitting groove 22, and the second fitting portion 41B into the second groove portion 22B of the second fitting groove 22, in each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40, respectively. In this way, each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 is fitted and fixed into each of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22.

By this fixation, the engagement recess 43 of the pressing portion 40 engages with the left edge portion of the first frame portion 31. By this engagement, each of the pair of pressing portions 40, 40 presses the intermediate portion 30 toward the base portion 20 at its upper and lower ends. As a result, the integrated intermediate portion 30 and sign portion 10 is stably and firmly fixed to the base portion 20.

By following this procedure, each component of the protruding sign 1 of this embodiment is assembled to the wall in the appropriate time, completing the installation on the wall.

[Features and advantages of this embodiment]
As described above, the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment includes the sign section 10, the wall surface engaging section 23 that directly engages with the wall surface, the first flat surface section 24 that is formed flat in the portion other than the wall surface engaging section 23, the base section 20 that is attached to the wall surface via the wall surface engaging section 23, and the intermediate section 30 that is disposed between the base section 20 and the sign section 10, that is attached to the first flat surface section 24 at one end thereof and that supports the sign section 10 at the other end thereof. The first fitting groove 21 is formed linearly (an example of "extending linearly"). At one end of the intermediate section 30, a protrusion 31A that is formed linearly (an example of "extending linearly") and fits into the first fitting groove 21 is provided.

For this reason, a linear protrusion 31A is provided at one end of the intermediate section 30 that supports the sign section 10, and a linear first fitting groove 21 is formed in the first flat surface section 24 of the base section 20 that is attached to the wall surface in correspondence with the protrusion 31A. When attaching the sign section 10 to the base section 20 via the intermediate section 30, the mounting structure is realized by the fitting of the protrusion 31A and the first fitting groove 21. This fitting allows even a beginner who is not accustomed to installing signs to easily and stably install the sign section 10 on the wall surface. In addition, because the sign is attached using a fitting structure, the overall structure of the protruding sign 1 can be simplified, and the material can be appropriately made of synthetic resin or the like.

In addition, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the intermediate portion 30 is further included in the pressing portion 40 that presses the intermediate portion 30 against the foundation portion 20 when the intermediate portion 30 is attached to the foundation portion 20. The first flat surface portion 24 of the foundation portion 20 is formed with a second fitting groove 22 that is formed in a straight line (an example of "extending in a line") so as to be perpendicular (an example of "intersecting") to the first fitting groove 21, and the second fitting groove 22 is bisected by the first fitting groove 21 to have a first groove portion 22A and a second groove portion 22B. The pressing portion 40 has a first fitting portion 41A that fits into the first groove portion 22A, a second fitting portion 41B that fits into the second groove portion 22B, and an engagement recess 43 formed between the first fitting portion 41A and the second fitting portion 41B. When the intermediate portion 30 is attached to the foundation portion 20 by fitting the protrusion 31A into the first fitting groove 21 of the foundation portion 20 and the first fitting portion 41A is fitted into the first groove portion 22A and the second fitting portion 41B is fitted into the second groove portion 22B, the engagement recess 43 of the pressing portion 40 engages with at least a part of the portion of the intermediate portion 30 opposite the portion where the protrusion 31A is disposed, thereby pressing the intermediate portion 30 toward the foundation portion 20.

The retaining portion 40 presses the intermediate portion 30 toward the base portion 20 by engaging its engagement recess 43 with at least a portion of the portion of the intermediate portion 30 opposite the portion where the protrusion 31A is disposed. This pressure ensures the engagement structure between the protrusion 31A and the first engagement groove 21 and prevents them from coming apart, allowing for stable installation of the sign.

In addition, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the base portion 20 is formed in a thin plate shape (an example of "extending in a plate-like shape"), the wall surface engagement portion 23 is the back surface of the base portion 20, and the first flat surface portion 24 is the front surface of the base portion 20. The middle portion 30 has at least a first frame portion 31 and a second frame portion 32, each of which is formed in a generally rectangular cross section and in a straight rod shape (an example of "extending in a rod-like shape"). One side edge portion of the first frame portion 31 is formed as a protrusion 31A. The second frame portion 32 is connected at its base end to the other side edge portion of the first frame portion 31 and supports the sign portion 10 at its tip end.

This allows the base section 20 and the middle section 30 to be made lighter and the structure of the sign body to be further simplified. In addition, the assembly of the base section 20 and the middle section 30 can be made easier.

In addition, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the pressing portion 40 is formed in a generally U-shape and in a thin plate shape (an example of "extending in a plate shape"), and has a pair of legs 41, 41 and a connecting portion 42 that connects the tips of the pair of legs 41, 41. Each of the base end bottom edges of the pair of legs 41, 41 is a first fitting portion 41A or a second fitting portion 41B. The portion of the pair of legs 41, 41 and the connecting portion 42 that extends to their inner side edges is an engagement recess 43.

This allows the pressing section 40 to be made lighter and the structure of the signboard body to be further simplified. In addition, the pressing section 40 can be attached more easily to the base section 20, making it easier to achieve stable installation of the base section 20 and the middle section 30.

In addition, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the pressing portion 40 and the second fitting groove 22 are provided in pairs corresponding to each other. One of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 is formed at one end of the first fitting groove 21. The other of the pair of second fitting grooves 22, 22 is formed at the other end of the first fitting groove 21.

This allows for more reliable installation stability of the base section 20 and the intermediate section 30.

In addition, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the base portion 20 is formed in a thin plate shape (an example of "extending in a plate-like shape"), the wall surface engagement portion 23 is the back surface of the base portion 20, and the first flat surface portion 24 is the front surface of the base portion 20. The middle portion 30 has at least a first frame portion 31, a second frame portion 32, and a third frame portion 33, each of which is formed in a substantially rectangular cross section and in a straight rod shape (an example of "extending in a rod-like shape"). One side edge portion of the first frame portion 31 is formed as a protrusion 31A. Each of the second frame portion 32 and the third frame portion 33 is connected at its base end to the other side edge portion of the first frame portion 31 and supports the sign portion 10 at its tip end. The second frame part 32 is connected to the first frame part 31 between the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 along the longitudinal direction of the first frame part 31 with the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 attached to the foundation part 20. The third frame part 33 is connected to the first frame part 31 outside one of the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 along the longitudinal direction of the first frame part 31 with the pair of pressing parts 40, 40 attached to the foundation part 20.

As a result, the intermediate section 30 and the pressing section 40 can be made lighter and the structure of the sign body can be further simplified. Also, the assembly of the base section 20, intermediate section 30 and pressing section 40 can be achieved more easily and reliably.

In addition, according to the protruding sign 1 of this embodiment, the sign portion 10 and the middle portion 30 are integrally formed.

This allows for a reduction in the number of parts, reducing manufacturing costs and improving ease of use.

Furthermore, according to the protruding signboard 1 of this embodiment, the base portion 20 and the middle portion 30 are made of a transparent or translucent material.

This makes the sign portion 10 stand out, thereby enhancing the overall design and impact of the sign on viewers.
