BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device installed at a gasoline filling station where automobiles and the like are refueled.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, at a gasoline filling station where a suspended refueling system is installed, a refueling hose having a refueling nozzle 3 at the tip extends from a canopy 2 that covers the upper part of the site 1 of the refueling station. A display meter 7 for displaying refueling data such as the amount of refueling and the amount of refueling is installed at an easily visible position such as on the wall of a building 6 such as an office.

[0003]In addition, the unit price of oil, product information, and business information are posted in a location adjacent to the fire wall 8 surrounding the site 1 that does not obstruct the entry and exit of vehicles and is easily visible from the driver's seat of a vehicle traveling on the road. A display device 9 is installed to display information that customers want to know, such as, and to call the driver's attention. As shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-152526, this display device 9 has a case 25 fixedly mounted on a support 24 erected from the ground. It is an arrangement of a large number of display bodies incorporating diodes (LEDs), and by appropriately changing the light emitting diodes that emit light, numbers indicating the unit price of oil, etc. are displayed.

0004

Since the display case is fixed to the upper end of the support column, the height of the case is fixedly determined by the height of the support support. By the way, this display device is installed not only for drivers of cars driving on the road, but also for drivers of cars that have already entered the premises of a gas station to refuel, and displays various information. Therefore, it is desirable to install an indicator case in a high position so that it can be seen at a glance even from a distance, in order to inform drivers of cars driving on the road of the presence of refueling stations. For refueling customers inside a gas station, if the case is installed at a high position, the customer will have to turn his or her face upward, making it too high and difficult to see, so it is desirable to install the case at approximately the same height as the customer's line of sight.

[0005] However, in conventional display devices, the mounting height of the case is determined by the height of the support at the time of installation. The case of the display is too high for customers inside the gas station to see, and conversely, if a display is installed for customers inside the gas station, it will be too low for drivers of cars driving on the road to see. Become. Furthermore, even if it is installed at an intermediate height, the result will be halfway and it will not be easy for both parties to see. Furthermore, due to factors such as surrounding objects obstructing the view,
If you want to change the installation height of the case, you will need to replace the supports, which will be a large-scale construction work.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, and to make it possible to freely change the installation height of the display case depending on the installation purpose, installation location, and other conditions, and to easily make this change on-site. The object of the present invention is to provide a display device that can be used for various tasks.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized in that a display device is attached to a column so as to be rotatable up and down.

[0008]

[Operation] According to the present invention, for example, when displaying information targeted at drivers of automobiles traveling on the road, the display device can be moved upward along the pillar and installed at a high position. The driver can clearly see the displayed contents. Furthermore, if you want to display information targeted at refueling customers inside the gas station, move the display device downward along the pillar and install it at a lower position, making it easier for the refueling customers to see the displayed content. Further, depending on the presence of obstacles obstructing the view near the display device, or other conditions of the installation location and time, the display device is appropriately moved up and down and set at the optimal position. Furthermore, depending on the display content, it may be easier to see in the vertical or horizontal direction.
