Description

The present invention relates to an alarm device.

Conventionally, for example, when a gas company promotes a business other than gas (electric power retail business or remodeling business), it is often the case that a leaflet is created and distributed to customers, but the leaflet will eventually be discarded, so the validity period as an advertisement. Was short.

Therefore, in order to prolong the validity period of the advertisement, for example, a water supply device in which a fixture is externally fitted and attached to the outer circumference of the bottle and an advertisement medium is attached to the bottle via the fixture has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). .. Further, a liquid crystal display is provided on the front surface and the side surface of the housing of the water supply device, and an advertisement is displayed on the liquid crystal display (see Patent Document 2). Further, there has been proposed a method in which a sheet on which advertising information is printed is attached to an advertising space on the surface of a container in which granular food can be stored and taken out (see Patent Document 3).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-308234 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-56699 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-61928

However, the advertising method described in Patent Document 1 requires a separate part for advertising, which is a fixture, which leads to an increase in the size of the water supply device. Further, also in the advertising method described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to provide a liquid crystal display exclusively for advertising.

Therefore, it is preferable to add advertising information to a housing such as a container as described in Patent Document 3, but a container for food is often discarded together with the container when the food is consumed. It cannot be said that the validity period as an advertisement is long.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to have a longer validity period as an advertisement, and to require a large size without requiring a separate part dedicated to the advertisement. The purpose is to provide an alarm that can prevent the change.

The alarm device of the present invention determines whether an abnormality has occurred in the surroundings based on a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal according to the surrounding environment, and outputs an alarm when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred. An alarm that includes a housing consisting of an upper case on the front side and a lower case on the rear side, and advertisement information for other items, stores, or corporations is stored in the advertisement displayable area located on the surface of the upper case. The advertisement information given and given to the advertisement displayable area is characterized in that it is extended in a vertical direction when mounted on a wall surface .

According to this alarm, advertisement information is given to the advertisement displayable area located on the surface of the upper case, so that the alarm itself, which is installed for a long period of time such as 5 years or 10 years in each home, is advertised. Information will be added, and the advertisement can have a longer validity period. Further, since the advertisement information is given to the case, a separate part dedicated to the advertisement is not required, and the size of the separate part is not increased. Therefore, it has a longer validity period as an advertisement, does not require a separate part dedicated to the advertisement, and can prevent an increase in size.
In addition, since the advertisement information is extended in the vertical direction when mounted on the wall surface, the visually recognized advertisement information is flat when the alarm is installed near the ceiling or floor of the wall surface. It can be prevented from being visually recognized as if it was crushed.

Further, in the alarm device of the present invention, the advertisement information is printed in the advertisement displayable area, and the advertisement displayable area has a height difference in the depth direction within 2 mm or a curved surface. When the portion is provided, it is preferable to have a printing unevenness reduction structure in which the radius of curvature of the curved surface portion is within 3 mm.

According to this alarm, since the advertisement displayable area has a print unevenness reduction structure, it is possible to suppress printing unevenness of advertisement information even if the alarm has a curved surface or the like and requires three-dimensional printing technology.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an alarm that has a longer validity period as an advertisement, does not require a separate part dedicated to the advertisement, and can prevent an increase in size.
