Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) The invention can be widely used in advertising media, displays in stores, etc., or decorative devices (hereinafter simply referred to as displays). Also,
This invention relates to an air-based display that can also be used as a toy for infants.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventional air-based displays are made by filling a bag shaped like a doll with air and standing it upright in a store. They were nothing more than figurines, such as dolls, and lacked any kinetic effect to please the consumer's eyes, and lacked interest. In addition, some displays of this type have a bottom shaped like an erected small box filled with weight such as sand, but with this type of structure, when floating on water, the weight impairs buoyancy. Therefore, there was a problem that it was not suitable as a water play toy for infants.

The present invention is an air-using display developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is a display that uses compressed air at a constant pressure and constant flow rate to be supplied from an appropriate location and expanded into a regular shape.
On the other hand, the air can be ejected from other parts and the ejected force can be used to make the ball float in the air, or to give a circular motion to the string, giving a power effect to the display, so that it can be used as a display at a store. To provide an air-utilizing display which increases the value and, when the air inlet and outlet is closed with a stopper, can be safely used by infants and children to play inside and outside the house as air dolls, etc., or can also be used as a swim bladder when playing in the water. The purpose is to

Effects of the invention (means for solving the problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention uses a material with appropriate elasticity and airtightness to form a hollow body in an appropriate shape such as an animal or a doll. In this hollow body,
An air intake hole is provided for supplying compressed air at a constant pressure and a constant flow rate from a compressed air supply source, and the hollow body is further provided with an air jet hole at a position separated from the air intake hole. The air ejection hole is formed to a size such that enough air is supplied into the hollow body to inflate the hollow body, and the air inside the hollow body is blown out while maintaining the expanded state. A display that utilizes air was constructed by allowing the nozzle to open and close with a plug.

(Function) When compressed air at a constant pressure and a constant flow rate is continuously supplied to the display of the present invention from the air intake hole to inflate the display into a regular shape, at the same time, the display moves to a position away from the air intake hole. Compressed air is continuously ejected from the provided air ejection holes. Using this jet of compressed air, it is possible to perform actions such as making a ball float in the air or giving a circular motion to a string. On the other hand, if you supply compressed air to the display and inflate it to a regular shape, then close the air outlet and air intake holes with plugs to trap the compressed air inside, it will become the same as a normal air doll, etc. It can be used for playing with dolls inside and outside the house, or as a swim bladder when playing in the water.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figures, 1 is a synthetic resin sheet with appropriate elasticity or other air-tight material that can be used to make any object such as an animal or doll. It is a hollow display body (hereinafter referred to as a hollow body) formed in the shape of , and in this example, it is formed in the shape of a seal, and 2 is air for filling compressed air supplied into the inside of this hollow body 1. It is a full room.

This stretchable hollow body 1 is made by, for example, forming the peripheral edges of two vinyl sheets cut into the various shapes mentioned above (in this example, the shape of a horse seal) into a bag shape by high-frequency heating bonding. However, the one shown in Figures 3 and 4 has a soft airtight sheet 3 inside.
A suitable sheet 4 that does not impair the elasticity of the sheet 3 is polymerized on the outside, and the ends of the two sheets 3 and 4 are joined by airtight joining means such as welding to form the elastic hollow body 1, Airtightness within the hollow body 1 is maintained.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an air intake hole provided at the tail of the above-mentioned seal-shaped hollow body 1, and a nozzle 7 provided at the tip of an air supply tube 6 is formed in this intake hole 5 so that it can be connected and separated. . This air supply tube 6
For example, compressed air is supplied from a compressed air supply source (not shown) such as an electromagnetic reciprocating compressor to fill the air-filled chamber 2 of the hollow body 1 with compressed air.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an air blowout hole provided at the mouth of the seal-shaped hollow body 1. This air blowout hole 8 is for blowing out the compressed air in the air filling chamber 2, which has been sequentially supplied, to the outside. The blowout hole 8 and the air intake hole 5 are arranged at a set position so as to be separated from each other.

The air intake hole 5 and the air outlet hole 8 are each provided with a plug 9, an example of which is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, so that the holes 5 and 8 can be opened and closed freely. The air intake hole 5 and the air ejection hole 8 may be formed in a nozzle shape with a suitably small diameter to increase the ejection force, and the hole diameter and hole shape of the air ejection hole 8 are determined to be suitable for inflating the hollow body 1. When sufficient compressed air is supplied into the hollow body 1, settings are made according to the intake pressure and intake flow rate of the compressed air so that the compressed air is jetted out from the hole while maintaining the expanded state.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a hollow ball made of a lightweight polystyrene foam resin or a suitable material (hereinafter referred to as an operating member), which is formed to float in the air at the mouth of the seal-shaped hollow body 1 by the jet force of compressed air jetted from the air jet hole 8. It is.

The actuating member 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned ball, but may be, for example, a string ring, a tape ring, etc., which is passed in an endless ring from the air intake hole 5 of the seal-shaped hollow body 1 toward the air jet hole 8. Good too. Also,
A large number of thin strings may be attached to the edge of the air outlet 8.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, the hollow body 1 (hollow seal-shaped display) is placed in a predetermined place, and the nozzle 7 provided at the tip of the air supply tube 6 is connected to the air intake hole 5.
Next, a compressed air supply source (not shown) such as an electromagnetic reciprocating compressor is driven to supply compressed air into the hollow body 1 . Compressed air is supplied into the air-filled chamber 2, and the seal expands into a regular shape as shown in the figure, but is then ejected forcefully from the air ejection holes 8. It is preferable for the seal to be shaped like the one shown in Figure 1, which causes the air to blow upward. Moreover, the operating member 10
When the actuating member 10 is positioned above the air jet hole 8 using the ball and the user's hand is released, the actuating member 10 floats in space due to the jet force of the compressed air. This floating state of the ball continues as long as compressed air is supplied, and since the ejection force of the compressed air is constant throughout, the ball is located in the space above the mouth and rotates by itself, giving movement to the ball.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, contrary to the above embodiment, air is taken in from the air outlet 8 and air is blown out from the air intake hole 5. If you change the way the seal shown in the figure is placed and place it with its tail up as shown in Figure 2, the air will blow straight upward from the air intake hole 5, unlike the case shown in Figure 1. can create different display effects. In this way, it is also possible to switch the roles of the air intake hole 5 and the air jet hole 8.

In addition, if the hollow body 1 is formed into a doll with a large base area and a stable shape, as in the example of the above-mentioned animal seal, it is possible to float it on water and increase the display effect in the same way.

In addition, when the actuating member 10 is replaced with a string ring, for example, in order to increase the effect of the circulation movement of the thin ring, it is better to arrange the air intake hole 5 and the air jet hole 8 in a line in the vertical direction, In this case, the string ring expands into an annular shape due to the jet force of the compressed air and moves in circulation.
It is possible to apply rotational force and subtle movements to the string ring.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, compressed air supplied from a compressed air supply source is continuously ejected from the air outlet of a display formed into a predetermined shape such as an animal or doll. Because the ball can be suspended in the air and the circular motion can be applied to a string or tape ring, a dynamic display effect that cannot be seen with conventional displays can be obtained. The user's name or company name can attract the attention of the consumer, and the user can be entertained as a unique display that has not been seen before. Therefore, in addition to the shape of the hollow body, the advertising letters placed at appropriate locations have tremendous advertising value that attracts the attention of consumers and induces them to purchase, and their utility value as advertising media is low. big. In addition, it can be used not only as a display in a store or as a decorative device, but also on the water, so it has extremely high utility value.Furthermore, because the structure is simple, it can be mass-produced at low cost. There are effects such as being able to do it.

In addition, as described above, the present invention provides plugs in the air intake hole and the air outlet hole, respectively, so that air can be confined in the hollow body.
It can be presented to infants as a conventional air-filled toy (air doll), and it can also be used as an advertising medium, and small ones can be used as playthings.
Large ones can be used as ornaments or as floating bladders for playing in the water or in the pool, and have the effect of being toys that can be safely given to infants and young children.
