JPH02176694A - Tube body for foaming decoration - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve advertisement effect, etc., by providing a means which supplies foaming liquid into the tube body and a means which discharges the foaming liquid from the tube body. CONSTITUTION:A pump 3 is put in operation to send the foaming solution from a solution tank 5 to a foaming machine 2 and the solution is supplied into the tube body 1 while foamed. At this time, an air discharge fan 6 is put in operation to produce negative pressure in the tube body 1 and consequently foams are charged entirely in the tube body 1 without any gap. The charged foams break naturally with time, so foams are supplemented intermittently. Liquid reduced from foams in the tube body 1 is discharged from a discharge pipe 62 from a discharge port 12 through a pipe 61 or returned into the solution tank 5. Consequently, the color of light reflected from the discharge pipe 61 is changed easily and speedily to improve the effect of advertisement decoration, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a decorative foam tube in which a foaming liquid is supplied.

<Prior Art> Neon signs have conventionally been used for advertising, decoration, etc., in which various characters, patterns, pictures, etc. are formed using neon tubes.

This neon sign attracts attention because it emits light, and can be colored to emit light of various colors.

<Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention> However, conventional neon signs have the following problems.

<B> If you want to change the light of a neon sign to a different color,
- The discoloration must be removed and recolored, or a new neon sign made.

Therefore, it is very time-consuming and costly (
Become.

<Mouth> Nowadays, neon signs have become so popular that they no longer attract attention as something particularly novel.

Therefore, it is not currently possible to expect much effect from advertising or decoration.

<Object of the present invention> The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it can quickly and easily change the color of the light reflected from the tube body, and can improve the effects of advertising, decoration, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foamed decorative pipe body that can be improved.

<Configuration of the Present Invention> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<A> Tube The tube 1 is made of a material that transmits light, such as transparent or translucent glass or synthetic resin.

Then, by applying heat to this tube body 1, predetermined characters,
Compose a pattern or picture, etc.

An inlet 11 and an outlet 12 are provided at both ends of the tube body 1.

[tube configured in a predetermined shape] is fixed to a boat 13 or the like.

<Port> Foaming liquid supply and discharge means A foaming machine 2 is connected to the inlet 1 of the tube body 1.

The foaming machine 2 is a device that includes, for example, a jet nozzle and a mesh, and performs foaming by injecting a foaming solution from the jet nozzle toward the mesh.

In addition, the foaming machine 2 is connected to a water tank 4 via a pump 3 on the way.
and is connected to the solution tank 5 by a pipe 21.

A foaming solution such as a synthetic surfactant that can be foamed is stored in the solution tank 5 .

Further, in this solution tank 5, there are cases in which a coloring agent of any color made of natural or artificial pigments is mixed in, or a natural or artificial flavoring agent is mixed in.

On the other hand, an exhaust fan 6 is attached to the discharge port 12 of the pipe body 1, and connected to the solution tank 5 by a vibro.

A discharge vibro 2 is connected to the middle of the vibro 1.

In addition, each pipe is equipped with valves where necessary.

<C> Illumination device A required number of illumination devices 7, which do not illuminate the pipe body 1 and have a structure in which a plurality of colors of light can be selected, are installed on the board 13, for example.

<Action of the present invention> When the device of the present invention is operated, the following effects can be obtained.

B) The foaming liquid supply pump 3 is operated, and the foaming solution in the solution tank 5 is sent into the foaming machine 2, and is supplied into the pipe body 1 while being foamed.

At this time, by operating the exhaust fan 6 at the same time to generate negative pressure within the tube 1, the entire tube 1 can be filled with bubbles without any gaps.

Since the filled foam naturally breaks down over time, the foam must be replenished intermittently.

The reducing liquid from the bubbles in the pipe body 1 passes through the vibro 1 from the discharge port 12 and is discharged to the outside from the discharge vibro 2, or
Or it is returned to the solution tank 5.

<Port> When discharging the bubbles in the foaming liquid discharge pipe 1, the water in the water tank 4 is sent into the foaming machine 2 by the pump 3, and is extinguished by injecting it into the pipe 1 from the injection port 1. It bubbles and is expelled from the outlet 12 of the tube body 1.

The defoamed liquid passes through the vibro 1 and is discharged to the outside from the discharge vibro 2, or is collected into the solution tank 5 and used again.

Further, the inside of the tubular body 1 is cleaned by injecting water into the tubular body 1 from the injection port 11 in the same manner as described above.

In addition, if the position of the discharge port 12 of the tube body 1 is provided at a position lower than other parts, the bubbles in the tube body 1 can be discharged and cleaned by natural drainage.

<C> Diffuse reflection of light by bubbles When the tube 1 is filled with bubbles as described above and light is irradiated by the illumination device 7, the countless bubbles in the tube 1 will diffusely reflect the light, causing the conventional neon You can obtain beautiful and excellent decorative effects that cannot be obtained with signs.

Furthermore, by changing the color of the irradiated light from the lighting device 7 or by changing the color of the foaming liquid itself, the color of the diffused reflection from the bubbles can be freely changed.Furthermore, fragrance can be mixed into the foaming liquid. This not only stimulates people's sense of sight but also their sense of smell, making them more interesting.

<Other Examples> As other examples, the inlet 11 and the outlet 1 of the pipe body 1
2 and foaming machine 2) A plurality of exhaust fans 6 may be provided at any position.

In addition, when removing bubbles inside the pipe, it is possible to remove them by supplying not only liquid such as water but also gas.

<Effects of the Present Invention> Since the present invention has been described above, the following effects can be expected.

<A> Conventional neon signs are no longer particularly innovative and eye-catching, so they cannot be expected to have much effect in advertising or decoration these days.

However, in the present invention, bubbles are injected into a decorative tube and the bubbles are irradiated with light.

Therefore, the countless bubbles inside the tube diffusely reflect light, creating a beautiful and excellent decorative effect that cannot be obtained with conventional neon lights.

Therefore, it can attract the attention of many people and significantly improve the advertising effect.

<Mouth> When changing the light of a conventional neon sign to a different color, the discoloration must be removed and recolored, or a new neon sign must be created, which is extremely time-consuming and costly. .

In contrast, the present invention quickly, easily, and at low cost can eliminate the light diffusely reflected by the bubbles by simply changing the color of the light of the lighting device that irradiates the tube body, or by changing the color of the foaming liquid itself. You can freely choose the color.

<C> By mixing fragrance into the foaming liquid, it is possible to stimulate not only the human sense of sight but also the sense of smell, thereby attracting interest.
