Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement of a sign pole used as a symbol of a barber shop.

(Prior Art) In order to display a barber shop, a display device that rotates a sign pole having a band-like spiral pattern of red, white, blue, etc. is widely known.

Conventionally, a handwritten signboard has been added to such a sign pole type display device to display, for example, a store name or advertising text.

In addition, there is also a type of billboard that places light sources along the edge of the signboard and makes them blink in sequence to give the illusion that the light sources are circulating.

Furthermore, there is also a type in which an electronic display panel having a large number of dot matrix display sections is integrally assembled with the above-mentioned sign pole type display device, and advertising text is displayed statically or in a continuous manner on the display panel.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, monotonous displays with handwritten signboards lack freshness and cannot be expected to produce effective advertising effects.

Furthermore, a signboard that circulates light along the edge of the signboard is noticeable at night, but has the disadvantage that the letters on the signboard are difficult to see.

Furthermore, in those equipped with an electric display panel, the electric characters are easy to read at night, but during the day they are difficult to see due to direct sunlight.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was made against such a background, and the display device according to the present invention includes a transparent protective case and a sign pole that can be rotated within the protective case. and a display panel provided in a fixed position within the protective case in close proximity to the sign pole, the display panel having the shape of characters, figures, symbols, etc. It is characterized by having a monochrome representation part and a large number of light emitting means disposed along the representation part and emitting light of the same color as the representation part.

(Function) Therefore, the barber shop is symbolically displayed by the sign pole, and figures such as characters, figures, or symbols colored in a single color are illuminated by light of a similar color.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Base 2 of display device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4
As is clear from FIG. 5, pillars 2a are erected, and a see-through protective case 3 made of, for example, acrylic is fixed to the base 2 and the roof 4.
Inside the protective case 3, a fluorescent lamp 5a (see FIG. 5) is rotatably supported on the base 2 and the roof 4.
A sign pole 5 with a built-in sign pole 5 and a display panel 10 fixed to a pillar 2a of a base 2 are housed. The display panel 10 of this example has an integral form in which two symmetrical display sections are butted against each other in a dogleg shape when viewed from above. In this embodiment, the sign pole 5 has a built-in fluorescent lamp 5a, but the sign pole 5 may be illuminated from the outside by an independent light source. As shown in FIG. 4, a motor 6 serving as rotational driving means for the sign pole 5 is housed in the base 2. As shown in FIG.

As is clear from FIGS. 5 and 6, the display panel 10 is made by stacking a wiring board 12, a colored acrylic board 14, and a transparent acrylic board 15. For example, a part of the white colored acrylic board 14 is is a figure such as a character, figure or symbol, such as "CUT STUDIO",
A groove 14a in which English letters such as "PERM SALON" are cut out is formed, and the wiring board 12 is printed or painted, for example, in red, in approximately the same size and shape as the shape represented by the groove 14a, as shown in FIG. As shown, a large number of light emitting diodes 13 that emit red light are arranged approximately along the center of the contour of the figure.

In the case of this embodiment, the display parts such as characters (with light emitting diodes) are respectively provided on two display panel parts that form a predetermined angle, and the front, except for the back of the display device 1,
The above-mentioned representation part is designed to be visible from either the left or right direction.

Instead of printing or painting on the wiring board 12, the wiring board 12 itself may be a colored board. It is also possible to use a red light bulb instead of the red light emitting diode 13, and it is also possible to print a shape on the colored wiring board. It is also possible to omit the colored acrylic plate 14. In addition, instead of the colored acrylic 14, transparent acrylic is used to engrave, for example, the font CUT, and the font on the engraved side is colored green and the surrounding area is colored black, and the green color arranged along the font CUT is printed on the wiring board. A light emitting diode may be fitted therein, and instead of the transparent acrylic 15, a white material with incisions made so as to surround the colored printed portion with a frame may be used. Although not shown in the drawings, the wiring from the wiring board 12 is connected to the light emission control section.

As shown in FIG. 3, a slit 2c is formed on the back surface of the base 2 by cutting and bending.
As shown in FIG. 5, a hole 2b is opened in the upper surface of the holder. These slits 2c and holes 2b form a ventilation path together with the space behind the display panel 10 and the through hole (not shown) in the roof 4, and the air flowing through this ventilation path prevents the temperature of the wiring board 14 etc. from rising. This will be suppressed.

The roof portion 4 is surrounded by a transparent colored acrylic cover or the like to form a decorative roof style,
A plurality of light emitting means such as small light bulbs are provided inside. Note that there is a ventilation hole (not shown) on the lower surface of the roof portion 4, which communicates with the outside air through a slit provided in the side portion of the roof. The fluorescent lamp 5a inside the sign pole 5, the light emitting means inside the roof 4, and the motor 6 of the sign pole 5 are connected to a power source through predetermined electrical connections.

When the power is turned on, sign pole 5 and roof section 4
is lit, and the sign pole 5 is rotated by the operation of the motor 6 serving as a rotational drive means. Light emission is supported on the display panel 10 via a light emission control section, and the light emitting diode 13 is turned on. The light emission timing is controlled by the control section. For example, there are ways to control the light emission, such as keeping all the light emitting diodes 13 lit, blinking them in a certain cycle, or making them turn on or blink sequentially to create a kind of neon sign effect. Various choices can be made. The form of colored characters and the like color of the light emit light provide a vivid display both during the day and at night.

In addition, for example, under the scorching sun, the display device 1 itself becomes hot and the inside becomes hot, but since a ventilation path including the holes 2b, slits 2c, etc. in the base 2 is formed, heat does not accumulate inside. , the light emitting transistor 13, etc. are protected from heat, and there is no fear that moisture will accumulate inside and cause cloudiness in the protective case 3.

In addition to arranging the light emitting means such as the light emitting diodes 13 along the center of the shape of the character, for example, it is also possible to arrange them along the edge of the shape from the start end to the end or in a border pattern that surrounds the shape in an endless manner. It is.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, characters,
A monochromatic representation in the shape of a figure or symbol is illuminated by light of a similar color placed along the representation, highlighting the color tone of the representation, and contrasting this with the change in the sign pole. The color scheme is harmonious,
Advertising effectiveness can be enhanced by giving a vivid impression to people passing by.

In addition, even when direct sunlight hits the representation, it does not become difficult to see, and during the day it is easy to see by the representation itself or in combination with a light emitting means, and at night, the representation illuminated by the light emitting means and the representation illuminated by it is easy to see. A clear display is achieved depending on the area. Therefore, effective advertising effects can be achieved both during the day and at night.
