Description

The present invention relates to nameplates.

Conventionally, nameplates showing the resident's first and last name and first name are generally attached to relatively conspicuous places in the building such as the side of the entrance and the outer wall of the gate pillar. Examples of the material used for the nameplate include stone, wood, and various organic and inorganic materials. Recently, a nameplate using a translucent base material has been used for the purpose of improving the design. ..

Further, in the nameplate using the above-mentioned translucent base material, for example, when receiving light from a lighting fixture provided in the surroundings at night, bright light can be transmitted inside the nameplate, so that the resident's first and last name written on the surface. The display such as and name is emphasized, and visibility is improved.

When attaching a nameplate, it is usually attached using a fixing tool such as a screw for ease of attachment. In a non-translucent nameplate, a fixture is usually arranged on the back side of the nameplate so as not to spoil the appearance on the notation side so that the fixture cannot be seen from the notation side (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in a translucent nameplate, even if the fixture is placed on the side to be attached to the nameplate, the fixture can be seen from the notation side. (For example, see Patent Document 2).

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a nameplate having both excellent design and visibility of notation in a translucent nameplate.

It is a perspective view which shows the nameplate which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a front view which shows the nameplate which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a back view which shows the nameplate which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the nameplate which concerns on embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and includes improved / modified versions of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a nameplate according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view showing a nameplate according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The nameplate 10 is a plate-shaped nameplate composed of a translucent base material 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the nameplate 10 having a rectangular cuboid shape is provided with a notation part 2 and a decoration part 20 on the front side (notation surface 11) on which the resident's first and last name and first name are written, and is notated by the reader. The information described in the part 2 is made visible, and the back surface (mounting surface 12) side is mounted so as to face the mounted surface 5 to be mounted, such as the side of the entrance or the outer wall of the gate pillar.

FIG. 3 is a rear view showing a nameplate according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a nameplate according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 3, the nameplate 10 has a mounting portion 4 formed at an arbitrary position on the mounting surface 12. As shown in FIG. 4, the fixture 3 is arranged on the mounting surface 12 side of the nameplate 10, and the nameplate 10 can be fixed to the mounted surface 5 via the mounting portion 4. Although a part of the fixture 3 may invade the inside of the nameplate 10, it is not exposed to the notation surface 11 side.

The notation surface 11 of the nameplate 10 is provided with a decorative portion 20 within a range in which the fixture 3 is shielded, at least in the front view of the nameplate 19. The decorative portion 20 is formed by processing the translucent base material 1.

The translucent base material 1 is not particularly limited, but may be composed of a resin material such as an acrylic plate, a plate glass, or a fusing glass or the like. Fusing glass is made by superimposing colored glass on transparent glass and heat-sealing it in an electric furnace.

The notation unit 2 usually describes the surname and first name of the resident, but from the viewpoint of design and convenience, for example, a picture, a character string, or the like can be arbitrarily described.

The shape and material of the fixture 3 are not particularly limited, but for example, screws made of metal, ceramics, and other materials can be easily attached to the surface 5 to be attached of various materials and shapes. It is also more durable than fixing with adhesive. The fixture 3 of the nameplate 10 of the present invention may be an adhesive, but in view of the purpose of increasing the invisibility of the fixture 3, the present invention fixes the nameplate 10 with high visibility at first glance. It is more preferable that it is applied to a nameplate 10 that uses a fixing tool 3 such as a screw, which is a tool.

The mounting portion 4 can be set at an arbitrary position on the mounting surface 12 side according to the shape, material, and the like of the nameplate 10. From the viewpoint of the design of the nameplate 10 as a whole, it is preferable to set it in a narrow range, and it is set in a range that does not impair the stability of mounting, for example, it is provided at the lower part of the nameplate 10.

The decorative portion 20 is formed at least on the notation surface 11 of the nameplate 10 on which the decorative portion 20 is not formed, in a range in which the fixture 3 is shielded by the decorative portion 20 in the front view 10 of the nameplate. As a result, the fixture 3 is less likely to be visually recognized when the nameplate 10 is viewed from the front, and the design of the nameplate 10 is improved.

Here, the above-mentioned "shielding" means that the visibility of the fixing tool 3 from the observer is lowered by the intervention of the decorative portion 20 between the observer and the fixing tool 3. As long as the design of the nameplate 10 is improved by this shielding effect, the fixture 3 does not necessarily have to be completely visible.

The range in which the fixing tool 3 is shielded by the decorative portion 20 does not necessarily mean only the range in which the image of the fixing tool 3 is projected perpendicularly to the notation surface 11, and the nameplate is used under normal usage conditions. 10 is set in consideration of the angle range in which 10 is viewed from the notation surface 11 side. That is, the decoration portion 20 is usually formed so as to be wider in the vertical and horizontal directions than the range in which the image of the fixture 3 is projected vertically on the notation surface 11.

Further, the decorative portion 20 may be formed at a location other than the above. As a result, for example, by forming the fixture 3 into a band-like shape including a portion that can be seen through, the width of the decorative design is widened, and the designability is further improved.

Further, the decorative portion 20 may also be formed on the side surface and the bottom surface of the nameplate 10. As a result, in the side view or bottom view of the nameplate 10, a part of the fixture 3 that has penetrated into the nameplate 10 is shielded, and the design is further improved. Further, especially at night, if the upper part of the attached surface 3 is provided with illumination, the light incident on the nameplate 10 from the upper part is internally reflected by the decorative portions 20 formed on the notation surface, the side surface and the bottom surface of the nameplate 10. By making the nameplate 10 look bright, the visibility of the notation unit 2 can be improved.

Further, the decorative portion 20 may also be formed on the mounting surface 12 side of the nameplate 10. As a result, the effect of improving visibility due to the reflection of light inside the nameplate is amplified. This decoration may be applied on the nameplate 10 or on the surface to be attached.

The decoration processing method in the decoration unit 20 is not particularly limited, and methods such as painting, printing, transfer, and sticking of a film, or a combination thereof can be used for decoration. Further, the decoration may be performed in a plurality of layers, for example, and an arbitrary method is selected according to the desired design design.

Further, the decorative portion 20 may have translucency as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired. As a result, the translucent nameplate 10 realizes a sophisticated design with a sense of unity as a whole, and the design is improved.

Further, the nameplate 10 may be textured at least in part. As a result, the light incident on the inside of the nameplate 10 is diffusely reflected by the uneven portion of the surface formed by the embossing, and the nameplate 10 can be made to appear brighter, so that the visibility of the notation portion 2 is further improved.

Further, when the decorative portion 20 has translucency, the transparency of the nameplate 10 is lowered due to the textured base of the decorative portion 20, so that the decorative portion 20 is arranged on the mounting surface 12 side or inside the nameplate. The fixture 3 that has penetrated into the fixture 3 becomes less visible, and the range of decorative processing that can be applied to the decorative portion 20 is expanded.

Although the nameplate having a rectangular cuboid shape that is generally used has been described so far, the nameplate 10 of the present invention may have another shape such as a rounded shape, and the notation portion 2 is formed. The same effect can be obtained by forming the decorative portion 20 at the locations corresponding to the front surface, the back surface, the side surface, and the bottom surface, with the front side as the front side.

Hereinafter, the effect of the nameplate 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

The nameplate 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a plate-shaped nameplate composed of a translucent base material 1, and has a notation portion 2 and a decorative portion 20 on the notation surface 11 and is located below the mounting surface 12. It is attached to the attached surface 5 of the gate post by a screw-shaped fixative 3 via two attachment portions 4. The decorative portion 20 is formed in a band shape on the lower portion of the notation surface 2, as well as on the lower side surface, the entire bottom surface, and the entire mounting surface 12. Further, the decorative portion 20 has a translucency to such an extent that the fixture 3 cannot be seen through. Further, the nameplate 10 is textured on the entire surface.

Although the nameplate 10 is translucent, the fixture 3 is shielded by the decorative portion 20 formed on the notation surface 11 when the visitor sees it from the notation surface 11 side. As a result, the translucent nameplate 10 can be provided with a high aesthetic appearance without impairing the design.

Further, the decorative portion 20 is formed not only in a range that shields the fixture 3 when viewed from the front of the nameplate 10, but also in a band shape at the lower portion of the notation surface 2. As a result, the range of decorative designs is widened, and the design is further improved.

Further, the decorative portion 20 is also formed on the lower portions of both side surfaces in the same manner, and the fixture 3 is shielded by the decorative portion 20 in the side view of the nameplate 10. As a result, the design is further improved.

The decorative portion 20 is also formed on the bottom surface thereof, and the fixture 3 is shielded by the decorative portion 20 when viewed from the bottom surface of the nameplate 10. As a result, the design is further improved.

Further, an illumination (not shown) is provided on the upper part of the attached surface 5 of the gate pillar, and the visibility of the nameplate 10 is improved by illuminating the nameplate 10 from the upper part, for example, at night. The nameplate 10 having translucency can transmit light from the illumination to the inside from the upper surface thereof. Here, the decorative portion 20 is formed on each surface other than the upper surface of the nameplate 10, and the light incident from the upper surface is reflected inside the nameplate, so that the nameplate 10 can be made to look brighter. As a result, the notation unit 2 on the nameplate 10 is emphasized, and the visibility of the notation unit 2 is improved. Further, since the decorative portion 20 is slightly translucent, the nameplate 10 as a whole is realized with a unified and sophisticated design while exhibiting the above-mentioned effects, and the design is improved.

In addition, the surface of the nameplate 10 is textured, and the light is diffusely reflected even in the fine irregularities, so that the effect of making the nameplate 10 look bright is amplified. As a result, the visibility of the notation unit 2 is further improved.
