Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the quantity of light from a board from extremely lowering because a photoconductor is bent greatly and to prevent the photoconductor from slipping off from the board by fixing the photoconductor to the board through a bending metallic tube. CONSTITUTION:The photoconductor 4 is inserted into the bending metallic tube 3 to fix it to a perforated board 2. Since the entire surrounding of the photoconductor 4 is protected with the metallic tube 3 for practical use, the bending part of the photoconductor 4 is not damaged. Moreover this protection is very instrumental in the partial excessive bending even if peripheral temperature is raised and the photoconductor is softened. As a result, the title signboard provides novel and excellent decorating effects as an effective, high durability, decorating signboard for interior and exterior.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the adhesives that can be used with plastic optical fibers are limited due to chemical resistance issues, and the photoconductor from the board to the light source is left with both ends gripped. ing. Therefore, during practical use, the photoconductor softens due to solar heat or heat from a light source, causing the center portion of the photoconductor to sag. The stress was concentrated on the board part, causing problems such as the photoconductor being extremely bent, resulting in an extremely low amount of light emitted from the board part, or the photoconductor coming off the board.

At this time, if necessary, it is desirable to press the tip of the photoconductor inserted into the metal tube against a hot plate and melt it, and to carry out the edge method for the purpose of prevention and finishing of the end surface. After that, bend the metal tube by holding it between iron plates. Next, the tip of the bent metal tube is inserted and fixed into a hole in a porous board made of plastic board, plywood, iron plate, etc.

Basically, it is sufficient to fix the difference between the outer diameter of the photoconductor and the inner diameter of the metal tube, but if the difference is large, the photoconductor will not be fixed enough even when bent, and conversely, if the difference is small, the photoconductivity will be poor. Body insertion is difficult. Therefore, the difference between the outer diameter of the photoconductor and the inner diameter of the metal tube is preferably 5 mm or less, more preferably 0.02 to 0.15 mm.

The curved portion of the photoconductor will not break. For this reason, it is extremely effective in preventing local extreme bending even if the ambient temperature rises or the photoconductor softens, resulting in a highly durable interior.
