Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a mascot graphic form attractive by providing a display body and a transparent body which has specific mutual relation one over the other, and adjusting the display body finely and generating visual variation. CONSTITUTION:The display body 1 for the mascot graphic form consisting of characters and a figure (b) on an advertisement board (a) is displayed in pattern which causes a moire phenomenon. The transparent body 2 where a pattern which causes moire interference with the pattern of the display body 1 is superposed on the display body 1. When the transparent body 2 is arranged on the top side and the display body 1 is arranged on the reverse side, the display body 1 is adjusted finely by rotating an eccentric disk 7 by a windmill 3. Then the mascot graphic form generates visual variation by the moire interference and extremely attractive characters and a figure are displayed according to the speed of the fine adjustment. Thus, the mascot graphic form of the display body 1 which is selected on the advertisement board (a) can be displayed and practical effect is obtained in a commercial advertisement field.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a display method that makes characters and graphics on signboards, decorations, etc. stand out in a way that makes them very eye-catching.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention]

Conventionally, in order to make advertising letters and figures on signboards and decorative items stand out in a way that attracts people's attention, various methods have been proposed to make them more interesting, such as lighting methods such as neon signs and luminous methods such as reflectors. However, they all have the disadvantage of high costs.

When printed characters are expressed as a collection of dots, by printing halftone dots on other parts, it is possible to create the feeling of two-color printing with dark-colored characters arranged on a light-colored background, even though it is one-color printing. There is a halftone technique that can be obtained.

When printing such a halftone dot area to create a multicolor effect, for example, a green halftone dot area and a red halftone dot area are used together to produce brown, and although it is actually two-color printing, it is possible to print a green halftone area and a red halftone area together. When creating the impression of three-color printing with a red part and a brown part used together, it is common sense to take care to avoid moiré interference.

This means that when two transparent films with scattered halftone dots are placed on top of each other and one is rotated, there will be areas where the dots are enlarged and look like a lattice pattern, and areas where nothing will change, and this changing area is the moiré area. This is the area affected by interference. .

This phenomenon is not limited to halftone dots, but always occurs in patterns that are arranged in a regular, constant manner, and typical examples include parallel line arrangement and halftone dot arrangement. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the occurrence of moiré interference.

Normally, printing is done with care taken to avoid moiré interference, but the applicant realized that by using this moiré interference, it might be possible to cause visual changes in characters and figures, and so he published this book. Completed the invention.

[Means to solve the problem]

The details are as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A display body 1 such as characters or figures is displayed in a pattern that causes a moire phenomenon, and a transparent body 2 having a pattern that causes moire interference with the pattern of the display body 1 is arranged in a superposed state on the display body 1. The present invention relates to a display method for making characters and figures stand out, which is characterized by imparting visual changes to the display body 1 by moving the transparent body 1 or the transparent body 2.

[For production]

To explain based on an example, among the characters and figures on the advertising board a, the mascot figure is displayed! is displayed in a pattern that causes a moiré phenomenon.

A transparent body 2 having a pattern that causes moiré interference with the pattern of the display body 1 is placed on the display body 1 in a superposed state, and the display body 1 or the transparent body 2 is slowly slightly moved back and forth by an appropriate method.

The drawing illustrates the case where the display body 1 is moved.

Then, the visual appearance of the mascot figure changes due to moiré interference, and this change changes the visual appearance of the mascot figure with a flickering sensation depending on the speed of the reciprocating micromovement, making it extremely eye-catching.

〔Example〕

The reciprocating slight movement of the display body 1 may be moved mechanically using the power of a small motor, or wind turbines may be rotated when there is wind by using wind power, or other methods may be used. You may use the means described above, but the point is that you just need to move it, and it is not a condition that you move it regularly, so you can move it as needed or from time to time.

In the figure, 3 is a windmill, 4 is a rotating shaft, 5 is a bearing, 6 is a bevel gear, 7 is an eccentric disk, 8 is a slide provided integrally with the display 1, and 9 is a slide guide that allows the display 1 to move. It is.

The display body 1 and the transparent body 2 may be superimposed on the front side, and either side may be moved, but the drawing shows the transparent body 2 on the front side, the display body 1 on the back side, and the display body 1 on the front side. The figure shows the case where the .

All of the characters and figures may cause a visual change, or only a portion of them may cause a visual change.

It can be used in a variety of places, not just signboards and decorations.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention is a display method for making characters and graphics stand out, which is practical in the field of advertising, because the present invention is configured as described above, so that very conspicuous and interesting characters and graphics that cause visual changes can be easily displayed. becomes.
