Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of the invention] This invention relates to advertisements and promotional displays for attracting customers.

[Technical background of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various displays are displayed in shop windows of department stores, sales floors, and entrances of movie theaters to attract the attention of passing customers and to stimulate their desire to purchase. These displays are replaced with new ones each season and festival, pleasing the eyes of passersby and customers visiting the area. Traditionally, such exhibits have been products, dolls (mannequins), or various imitations, such as clothed animals, plants, etc., but most of them have been fixed and motionless. For this reason, it plays an advertising role for customers who are actively looking for some kind of product or trying to enter a movie, etc., but it simply does not attract the attention of people passing by, so the advertising role is small. It had the disadvantage of becoming.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and it is designed to make it possible for all people who visit shopping centers, shops, department stores, theaters, etc. The object of the present invention is to provide sales promotion and advertising display items that arouse interest and desire to purchase products, etc., and fully fulfill the role of advertising.

[Key points of the idea]

The gist of this idea was to make tree-climbing monkeys vocalize and move on trees in order to achieve the above objectives.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 7 is an external view of the promotional display of the present invention, which is an imitation of a tree-climbing monkey.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped support stand, and an imitation tree 2 is planted on this support stand 1. this tree 2
has a cylindrical trunk 3 with a leaf at the upper end, and a tree-climbing monkey 4 is attached to the trunk 3. This tree-climbing monkey 4 moves up and down along the trunk 3 by means of a vertical movement mechanism to be described later, and also moves its mouth 5 to make sounds (kiyakiya, etc.).

1 to 5 are diagrams showing the internal structure of the trunk 3 and the support base 1. The trunk 3 is hollow and is erected so as to reach from the upper surface to the lower surface of the support base 1. A frame body 7 is provided inside the support base 1, and a drive motor 8 is provided on the side surface of the frame body 7. A drive pulley 9 having a horizontal axis is rotatably supported inside the frame 7, and a drive motor 8
The drive pulley 9 and the drive pulley 9 are connected by a clutch portion 10 so that they rotate together. Clutch part 1
0 is equipped with a clutch wheel 11 coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 8, and a shaft portion 12 formed at the tip of the clutch wheel 11 is threaded. and a double nut 13 is screwed into it. A coiled clutch spring 17 is interposed between the double nut 13 and one side of the drive pulley 9, and presses washers 14 and 15 at both ends.

Further, a chrome skin 19 for sliding is interposed between the clutch wheel 11 and the drive pulley 9, and a chrome skin 20 for sliding is interposed between the drive pulley 9 and the washer 14, respectively. Therefore, due to the tension of the clutch spring 17, the clutch wheel 11 and drive pulley 9 are brought into pressure contact via the chrome skins 19 and 20, and rotate integrally.

On the other hand, when an excessive rotational load is applied to the drive pulley 9, the drive pulley 9 slides on the sliding surfaces of the chrome skins 19 and 20, causing the clutch wheel 11 and the drive motor 8 to idle. The trunk 3 is located at one end opening of the frame 7, and the trunk 3 is formed with a vertical groove 22 extending along the trunk 3 in the direction of the opening of the frame 7 (a second
figure). An upper pulley 23 and a lower pulley 24 are rotatably provided at the inner upper and lower ends of the trunk 3, respectively, and a relay pulley 25 is rotatably provided inwardly of the frame 7 close to the vertical groove 22. ing. The axes of the drive pulley 9, upper pulley 23, lower pulley 24, and relay pulley 25 are all in the same direction, and a steel wire 27 is stretched around each of these pulleys. Both ends of the steel wire 27 are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the drive pulley 9, respectively.
One end of 7 is wound around a pulley 9 a plurality of times. An idler roller 28 is also provided on the frame 7, and this idler roller 28 presses the steel wire 27 using a predetermined mechanism to adjust its tension.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, a wire catch 30 is fixed to the portion of the steel wire 27 facing the longitudinal groove 22 of the trunk 3. As shown in FIGS. The wire catch 30 consists of a sliding frame 31 having a straw-like semicircle surrounding the trunk 3 and a catch plate 32 parallel to the trunk 3.
A steel wire 27 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the catch plate 32 and the catch plate 32. The tree-climbing monkey 4 is fixed to both ends of the sliding frame 31 so as to surround the trunk 3 with both arms.

As shown in FIG. 6, the mouth part 5 of the tree-climbing monkey 4 is made of flexible plastic or the like, and the inner package is provided with a mouth part driving mechanism 35. A support rod 37 is erected on a framework 36 provided inside the monkey 4, and the support rod 3
A cross rod 38 is rotatably supported at the intermediate portion of the cross rod 7 . One end of the cross bar 38 is fixed to the inside of the mouth 5, and the other end is pulled to the tip of the support bar 37 by a coiled spring 40. The frame 36 is provided with an electromagnet 41 facing the other end of the cross bar 38, and a movable iron piece 42 of the electromagnet 41 is connected to the other end of the cross bar 38.

In FIG. 7, the support base 1 includes a control unit and a sensor 4.
5. A speaker 46 and the like are provided to control the motor 8 and electromagnet 41. Incidentally, limit switches (not shown) are also provided at the upper and lower ends of the trunk 3 to be turned on and off by contacting the wire catch 30.

Next, the operation will be explained. First, when a customer approaches the tree-climbing monkey 4, the sensor 45 sends a sensing signal to the control section. Then, the control section rotates the drive motor 8. The rotation of the motor 8 rotates the pulley 9 via the clutch portion 10, so that the steel wire 27 runs along the trunk 3. Then wire catch 30
At the same time, the tree-climbing monkey 4 ascends along with the trunk 3.
In synchronization with this operation, the control section sends an excitation signal to the electromagnet 41 and causes the speaker to emit a sound (such as a chirping sound). Therefore, the tree-climbing monkey 4 can move the mouth part 5 while moving up and down the tree 2 and utter a loud voice to attract the customer's interest. When the monkey 4 reaches the upper or lower end of the trunk 3, a limit switch signal is sent to the control section and the motor 8 is stopped. monkey 4
If for some reason the motor 8 gets caught in the middle of the trunk 3, the motor 8 will continue to rotate, but the clutch portion 10 will slip, so the motor 8 will not be damaged.

Note that the imitation animal is not limited to a monkey, but may be another climbing animal such as a squirrel.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, the imitation tree-climbing animal moves while climbing the tree while moving its mouth and making sounds, which further attracts customers' attention to the displayed products at shopping centers, theaters, etc. be able to. In addition, it can be used as an interior display item for sales promotion or advertising, and can improve the interest of shop windows and attracting customers.
