DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 is a front view of a card holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 5 is a rear view, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view.
As shown in FIG. 1, the card holder includes a main body 1 and a bag 2 for holding a card. The main body 1 is a flexible bag made of a colored synthetic resin so that an internal device cannot be seen, and is composed of a front sheet 1a and a back sheet 1b as shown in FIG. The main body 1 is formed with a decorative portion 3 protruding upward, on which characters and designs of a theme park on which the card holder is sold are printed. The bag part 2 is made of transparent vinyl, and is bonded to the back sheet 1b of the main body part 1 through an adhesive piece 6 at its upper end, and an opening 4 is formed below the adhesive part as shown in FIG. Can be inserted.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2, a hook clip 5 is attached to the back of the main body 1 so as to be attached to a pocket of clothes. In addition, as this mounting means, a safety pin, a band wound around the arm, or the like may be used.
As shown in FIG. 2, sponge-like front and rear protective plates 7 and 8 made of synthetic resin are held in the main body 1, and concave portions 10 and 11 are formed in the rear protective plate 8 as shown in FIG. 6. The time display device 12 and the sound generation device 13 are housed therein. The time display device 12 is provided with a time display unit 14 and two push buttons 15 and 16. The push button 15 is for time adjustment, and the button 16 is for alarm setting.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 7, the sound generator 13 includes a front synthetic resin housing 17, a substrate 18, and a back plate 19. The housing 17 is formed with a large number of sound emitting holes 20 and two push button portions 21 and 22. The push button is flexible and crushed.
On the substrate 18, an IC 23, a speaker 24, a battery 25, a start switch button 26, and a stop switch button 27 are attached and connected by wirings 28, 29, and 30, respectively. The IC 23 is an integrated circuit in which a program for generating a melody, an alarm, a synthesized voice, etc. is recorded. As a melody, it is preferable to play a theme song such as a theme park or an amusement park as long as it is a card holder for inserting a free passport ticket such as a theme park or an amusement park. The speaker 24 is made of a piezoelectric semiconductor. The battery 25 is a thin mercury battery. The switch button 26 is a start button for generating sound, and the switch button 27 is a stop button, both of which are push-type flexible rubber switches.
[0019]
A timer circuit that stops the power supply to the speaker after operating the speaker for a predetermined time in the IC 23 can also be incorporated. Moreover, a predetermined melody can be played only once. In such a case, the stop button 27 can be eliminated. The housing 17 and the back plate 19 are joined by ultrasonic welding or adhesion with the IC 23 interposed therebetween.
In the assembled state, the insides of the push button portions 21 and 22 are in contact with the upper surfaces of the switch buttons 26 and 27. The time display unit 14 is positioned at a time display window 31 made of a transparent synthetic resin thin plate of the main body unit 1 and is visible from the outside.
[0020]
Further, the operation display units 32 and 33 are displayed on the main body 1 at positions facing the push buttons 15 and 16 of the time display device 12, and the push buttons 15 and 16 are pushed by pressing this part with a finger. Be able to.
In addition, operation display units 34 and 35 are displayed opposite to the push button units 21 and 22. By pressing this, the switch buttons 26 and 27 are pressed so that sound can be generated and stopped. It has become.
[0021]
Because of the structure as described above, for example, a free passport of an amusement park is put in the bag part 2, and the alarm time is set by pressing the operation display unit 33 for the valid time of the passport or the waiting time with the accompanying person. Can be operated. The holder can be attached to clothes to enjoy the garden freely. Further, by pressing the operation display unit 34, a melody can be generated and the atmosphere can be enhanced.
Each internal device is protected by the front and rear protection plates 7 and 8, so that the holder will not break down or be damaged even if the holder hits a foreign object or the user falls.
[0022]
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of the first embodiment.
In this example, the main body portion 40 is made of a hard synthetic resin, and the portion facing the push button portion 41 is made of a flexible soft synthetic resin 40a. The hard synthetic resin and the soft synthetic resin can be integrally formed by injection molding using a different material molding machine or insert molding. Other parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0023]
FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view showing still another modified example.
In this example, the clock circuit of the timepiece movement of the time display device 12 and the IC 23 are connected by the wiring 42. Thereby, the speaker 24 can be automatically operated at a predetermined time. For example, if the melody is played from the speaker at the closing time of the theme park, the carrier can know the closing time without looking at the clock. Instead of a melody, you can generate a message such as “It ’s close soon”. Or you may sound a melody for every predetermined time (for example, 1 hour).
In this example, as shown in FIG. 10, a groove 43 for inserting the wiring 42 is formed in the rear protection plate 8.
[0024]
FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the main part.
In this embodiment, the entire main body 45 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin bag, and a protective plate (not shown) is also made of a transparent material. Four LEDs 48 are provided around the speaker 47 on the substrate 46, and a circuit for starting the LEDs is provided in the IC 50.
When the start switch button 52 is pressed, an electronic sound is generated and the LED 48 emits light. In particular, the time display can be easily read by emitting light at night. Further, a program for blinking the LED may be stored in the IC 50. In addition, the clock circuit of the time display device 53 and the IC may be connected to operate the speaker and the LED at a predetermined time. Thereby, for example, sound and light can be generated at a time when a specific event such as a parade is started in a theme park or the like, so that the user can be notified of the start of the event.
[0025]
FIG. 13 is a plan view showing a modification of the second embodiment.
In this example, an opaque and colored printing layer is applied to the main body portion 45 made of a transparent synthetic resin bag, except for the annular portion 54 including LEDs.
Further, in the modification shown in FIG. 14, a colored print layer A capable of transmitting light is applied to the annular portion 54. Furthermore, by changing the color tone of the printing layer A, the emission color of the LED 48 can be changed.
[0026]
In the example shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, disc-shaped EL (electroluminescence) 56 and 57 are provided adjacent to the LED 48. By providing the EL in this way, the main body can be illuminated with a larger area than the LED.
FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 18 is a plan view thereof.
In the present embodiment, a vibration device 60 is provided. The vibration device includes a motor 61 and an eccentric weight 62 attached to the rotating shaft. In this apparatus, when the activation button 63 is pressed, the motor is activated, the eccentric weight 62 rotates, and the main body vibrates.
[0027]
Note that the time measurement function of the time display device 64 may be used to notify the predetermined time by causing vibration to occur at a predetermined time.
In the above example, the clock circuit of the timepiece movement is used, but it is not necessary to connect the clock circuit to the IC of the additional device. In this case, the time display device may be eliminated.
It goes without saying that the types of additional devices in the above embodiments can be interchanged or combined.
[0028]
