Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a variable display panel in which display contents such as numbers and characters can be easily changed manually.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Electronic bulletin boards and neon signs are well known as variable information advertisement posting means. Such advertisement posting means has a large installation cost. For example, installing them to display variable information such as price is too uneconomical, but prepare a panel of several digits that display numbers 0 to 9 and replace them. Therefore, it is difficult to change the panel to a desired numerical value, and it is difficult to change the panel when these are installed at high positions. Moreover, since ten panels for one digit are required, the overall thickness increases, and installation may be difficult.
[0003]
An object of the present invention is to provide a variable display panel in which display contents such as numbers and characters can be easily changed manually.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the first invention, as a variable display panel for advertising display that variably displays numbers, characters, etc. in a plurality of segments, two sheets of different color films having flexibility are stacked and cut into these. Thus, a pair of front and back tongue pieces with overlapping segment areas are formed so that the direction of coming out on the surface is switched when they are pushed in the front and back direction .
[0005]
In the second invention, the pair of tongue pieces in the first invention is formed such that the area of the back film is larger than that of the front film .
[0006]
In a third invention, in the first invention, a reinforcing plate is bonded to a laminate of two films .
[0007]
In 4th invention, in 1st invention, a small circular hole is formed in the edge part of the notch which each forms a tongue piece in two films .
[0009]
[Action]
In the first invention, when the segment area is pushed in the front and back direction, the pair of tongue pieces flex flexibly, and when these warps increase, the front side tongue piece and the back side tongue piece are interchanged, and the segment area on the panel surface The color changes. Therefore, by selectively exchanging a pair of front and back tongue pieces of each segment area, numbers and the like can be variably displayed on the panel surface. Moreover, the replacement can be easily performed manually .
[0010]
In the second invention, the front and back can be smoothly exchanged only when the pair of tongue pieces are pushed from the front side of the panel. In other words, even if something is pushed from the back side, the front and back will not be switched unnecessarily .
[0011]
In the third invention, the panel is formed of two flexible films, but the strength necessary for the panel can be sufficiently secured by the reinforcing plate in the region excluding the pair of front and back tongue pieces .
[0012]
In the fourth aspect of the invention, the bending stress of the tongue piece can be effectively prevented by the small circular hole from concentrating on the end of the notch and causing cracks .
[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 to 6 show a variable display panel for one character. This panel 1 is made up of two different colors of flexible film fabrics, and these numbers are overlapped after being cut, so that numbers can be displayed. Seven segments are variably displayed.
[0015]
The front film 2 is cut as shown in FIGS. For the six segments excluding the central portion of the seven segments, a cut 10 is formed along the partition line b between adjacent segments from the outer edge line a, and the cut 10 of the partition line b is extended inward, and the extended end thereof By forming the small circular holes 11 for preventing cracks, the tongue pieces 12 that bend flexibly from between the small circular holes 11 are formed when the insides of these cuts 10 are pushed in the front and back direction.
[0016]
With respect to the remaining one segment, a notch 10 is formed along the partition line b between adjacent segments from the lower edge line c, and this notch is formed by forming a small circular hole 11 for preventing cracks at the extended end. When the inner side of 10 is pushed in the front and back direction, a tongue piece 12 that flexes smoothly from between the small circular holes 11 is formed.
[0017]
The film 3 on the back side is cut as shown in FIGS. For the six segments excluding the central portion of the seven segments, a notch 20 enters from the inner edge line x along the partition line y between the adjacent segments, and the notch 20 of the partition line y extends outward, and its extended end. By forming the small circular holes 21 for preventing cracks, the tongue pieces 22 that flexibly bend from between the small circular holes 21 are formed when the insides of these cuts 20 are pushed in the front and back direction.
[0018]
The inner side of the six segments of the film 3 is separated from the outer side by a continuous notch 20, and the remaining one-segment flexible piece 22 is formed on the separating film 3a. The separation film 3a is cut at the upper edge line z of the segment, the cut 20 is extended inward along the partition line y between the adjacent segments, and a small circular hole 11 for preventing cracks is formed at the extended end. Thus, when the upper edge line z side is pushed in the front and back direction, a tongue piece 22 that flexes smoothly from between the small circular holes 11 is formed.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the film 2 on the back side including the film portion 3a having the one-segment flexible piece 22 is overlapped on the film 2 on the front side, and these are partially bonded to overlap each segment region. A pair of front and back tongue pieces 12 and 22 are configured to be interchangeable. In this case, two cuts 10 are formed in parallel so that the film 3 on the front side forms a separation band 13 (see FIG. 3) between adjacent segments. Since the film 3 on the back side has one notch forming each tongue piece 22, even when pushed from the back side, each tongue piece 22 is restrained from being caught on the separation band 13 between the segments and bent to the front side. That is, the front and back of the pair of flexible pieces 12 and 22 can be smoothly exchanged only when they are pushed from the front side.
[0020]
When the segment region is pushed from the front side as shown in FIG. 4, the tongue pieces 12 and 22 are flexibly bent to the back side, and when these warps increase, the back side tongue piece 22 (or 12 ) is elastically elastic and the front side tongue piece 12 ( Or it changes so that it may wrap around to the surface of 22). That is, the front and back are interchanged, and the color of the segment area on the panel 1 surface changes. Therefore, the numbers 0 to 9 can be variably displayed on the surface of the panel 1 by selectively replacing the tongue pieces 12 and 22 of each segment area. For example, in the segment areas A, C, D, E, and G as shown in FIG. 5, when the back side tongue piece 22 is put out on the front side, the surface of the panel 1 displays the numeral 2, and the segment area A as shown in FIG. , C, D, F and G, when the tongue piece 22 on the back side is put out on the front side, the surface of the panel 1 displays the numeral 3.
[0021]
A reinforcing plate 30 is provided on the back side of the two films 2 and 3. The reinforcing plate 30 is formed from an acrylic plate in a frame shape surrounding the outside of the tongue piece 22 in the film 3 on the back side, and is overlapped and adhered to the back surface. Such a variable display panel 1 is assembled in an advertisement posting apparatus as described later. In this example, a tetron film is used as the films 2 and 3 of different colors. However, they may be formed of steel or plastic if necessary flexibility can be obtained.
[0022]
Even if the films 2 and 3 do not have flexibility, although not shown, a pair of front and back tongues are punched out from two films, and these are attached to each film so that the front and back can be exchanged with each hinge. A variable display panel having a similar function can be formed by providing means for biasing the hinge so that the pair of tongues overlap each other on the same plane in the region.
[0023]
FIG. 7 shows an advertising display device for one character as a minimum unit . A panel 1 that variably displays numbers and the like, a transparent case 50 in which the panel 1 can be pulled out, and an illumination light for the case 50 As a fluorescent lamp 60. The case 50 is entirely formed of a transparent acrylic resin in the form of a door pocket, and the two panels 1 are placed inside each other in a back-to-back manner. In this case, the fluorescent lamp 60 is disposed on both sides of the case 50 as an edge light system because a backlight system is impossible. The illumination of the case 50 may be an external lighting type.
[0024]
The case 50 is installed together with the fluorescent lamp 60 at the place where the panel 1 is posted. In this case, the panel 1 is used as a guide plate, and by placing two sheets in the back-to-back case 50, numbers and the like are displayed on both sides of the case 50. When changing the display of numbers or the like, the panel display can be easily changed manually by pulling out the panel 1 from the case 50 and replacing the tongue pieces 12 and 22 as described above. As described above, the display of the panel 1 can be easily changed manually, but since it is posted in the transparent case 50, a third person can avoid touching the panel. That is, the case 50 can effectively restrict arbitrary display changes.
[0025]
In the embodiment of FIG. 7, a plurality of window holes 52 are formed side by side in the mounting plate (post board) 51, and the plurality of panels 1 are respectively screwed (or adhesive) so as to close each window hole 52 from the back side. Attached through. In this case, the mounting plate 51 is assumed to be used as a menu board in a store, for example, so that a third party does not touch it directly. It is arranged. Even when the panel 1 is out of reach, the tongue pieces 12 and 22 can be easily and easily replaced by using a bar-like one on the panel surface exposed to the window hole 52 of the mounting plate 51.
[0026]
The embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 10 assumes a standing signboard used at a gas station, and the case 53 has a frame-like frame body 54 and two window plates that define a door pocket space inside the frame. 55. The frame body 54 is formed so that the upper edge portion 54a is detachable, and two panels 56 are removably assembled back-to-back on the inner side faced between the window plates 55. The window plate 55 is formed of a transparent acrylic resin, and the upper edge portion 54a is set on the frame body 54 with the panel 56 placed between them.
[0027]
In this case, each panel 56 is a bulletin board that variably displays a plurality of product prices, and three product names are fixedly displayed in three upper and lower stages using approximately 1/2 of the front, and the remaining approximately 1 / 7 segments of 3 digits (total of 9 characters) are arranged as the price of each product using 2. The basic structure of the panel 56 is composed of the front-side film 2, the back-side film 3, and these reinforcing plates 30, similar to the panel 1 (see FIGS. 1 to 3) for one character. Although not shown in the figure, the tongue 12 is formed so that nine holes are formed in the reinforcing plate 30 in a predetermined arrangement state, and the front and back can be exchanged by one character for each hole by cutting into the film 2 on the front side and the film 3 on the back side. , 22 are formed in pairs of seven.
[0028]
In the case 53, each edge of the frame 54 is formed of a transparent acrylic resin in a hollow cross section, and a fluorescent lamp 58 is housed inside the side edges on both sides as an illumination light. The frame body 54 is coated with an opaque coating on the outer surface except for the frame-shaped inner surface to concentrate the light from the fluorescent lamp 58 toward the panel 56 as an edge light. Reference numeral 57 denotes a stand for the case 53, which is composed of a pair of leg posts 57a and these installation plates 57b. A safety device 58a of the fluorescent lamp 58 is mounted on the installation plate 57b, and a cord (not shown) for turning on the fluorescent lamp 58 through the safety device 58 is provided.
[0029]
When changing the display price, the upper edge portion 54a of the frame body 54 is lifted from the case 53, the two panels 56 are pulled out from between the window plates 55, and the back-to-back panels 56 are removed from the upper edge portion 54a. When the pair of front and back tongue pieces 12 and 22 are replaced in 56 equal seven segments, the price posted on the panel 56 is changed. After the change, the panel 56 is assembled again to the upper edge portion 54 a and set between the window plates 55 of the case 53. In this way, the display change of the product price can be easily performed manually, and since the case 53 includes the stand 57, it can be easily used as a standing signboard. Of course, lighting at night and the like is also possible, and the panel 56 is protected by the window plate 55 of the case 53, so that it is possible to prevent a third party from touching and changing the display.
