Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a display device installed in a store or the like for guiding the store or advertising.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional sign poles, which are display devices installed at barber shops, include the following. The sine pole is provided with a cylindrical rotary cylinder rotatably about its own central axis inside a vertically long transparent cylinder (or square cylinder) case member. The rotary cylinder is opaque, and the surface of the rotary cylinder is provided with a spiral pattern of red, blue, and white colors. Then, as the rotating cylinder rotates, the observer feels as if the spiral pattern rises (or falls).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, it is desirable that such a sine pole be beautiful and prominent in nature, but it is desirable that the manufacturing cost be low. However, in the above sign pole, since the design (pattern, color, etc.) is applied to the surface of the opaque rotating cylinder, it is applied to the observer on the entire surface of the sign pole. Only the design of the part on the side where the viewer is located can be recognized. Therefore, compared to the cost of designing, the impact on the viewer is small, and conversely, the cost is high.

Therefore, an object of the invention according to claim 1 is to provide a display device such as a sign pole which can reduce the cost as compared with the magnitude of the impact given to the viewer.

In addition to the above, it is an object of the invention according to claim 2 to provide a display device such as a sign pole capable of giving a larger impact having a stereoscopic effect.

Further, as described above, in the conventional barber's sign pole, since the spiral strip-shaped patterns of red, blue, and white provided on the rotary cylinder are straight strips, respectively. It gives the viewer the feeling that the spiral pattern rises smoothly when the rotary cylinder rotates. However, because the rise was smooth, it could not have a great impact on the viewer. For this reason, a display device for giving a greater impact to the viewer is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-81992. This is to form a display body by stacking a number of strip-shaped blades with the center of each blade shifted as an axis so that their phases are sequentially shifted in the same direction. It is configured to rotatably support the display body. However, since the display device is actually configured by laminating a plurality of blades, it is inevitable that the cost will be high. In addition, it is not possible to emit light from the inside so that light can pass through, and there is no choice but to adopt a structure in which light is emitted from the outside.

Therefore, in addition to the problem of the invention according to claim 1, the device according to claim 3 adds a vibrational element to the ascending (or descending) of the spiral pattern to give a greater impact to the viewer. At the same time, it is an object to provide a display device which can reduce the cost and can emit light from the inside.

[0008]

And a rotating cylinder provided, wherein the rotating cylinder is formed of a transparent material, and the rotating cylinder has various designs.

The display device according to a second aspect of the present invention is provided with a cylindrical case member having a transparent portion, and a cylindrical case member that is rotatable inside the case member about its own vertical axis. A rotary cylinder, and a cylindrical inner cylinder concentric with the rotary cylinder on the inner side of the rotary cylinder.

[0014]

First Embodiment Next, a first embodiment corresponding to the invention of claim 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this sine pole S1 has a base portion 10, a case member 20, a rotary cylinder 30, and an inner cylinder 60.

The base portion 10 has a cylindrical shape having a flange-shaped bottom plate, and a saucer-shaped substrate portion 12 for receiving the case member 20 is formed at an upper end portion thereof.

The case member 20 has a long cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the base portion 10, and is made of transparent synthetic resin or glass. Then, it is received and fixed to the substrate plate 12 of the base portion 10. A lid plate portion 22 is attached to the upper part of the case member 20, and an upper decorative member 24 is fitted on the upper part thereof. The upper decoration member 24 is made of white synthetic resin, and an annular fluorescent lamp 26 is provided inside the upper decoration member 24 so that white light is emitted from the upper decoration member 24 to the outside. Further, at appropriate places (three places in this example) near the inner peripheral surface of the case member 20, reinforcing columns 28 are provided from the base plate portion 12 to the cover plate portion 22 of the case member 20. Along with it, the upper decorative member 24 is supported (see also FIG. 4).

The rotary cylinder 30 is provided inside the case member 20. The rotary cylinder 30 is made of transparent synthetic resin and has a cylindrical shape with an outer diameter that does not contact the reinforcing columns 28 inside the case member 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, on the surface of the rotary cylinder 30, a bluish-white belt-shaped pattern 32 and a red-white belt-shaped pattern 36 are spirally formed (spiral upward toward the counterclockwise direction) over the entire circumference thereof. It has been subjected. The blue-white belt-shaped pattern 32 has a blue thick belt-shaped blue belt portion 34B and white thin belt-shaped white belt portions 34W on both sides thereof. Further, the red-white belt-like pattern 36 similarly has a red belt portion 38R and a white belt portion 38W.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, circular upper plates 40 and lower plates 42 that close the mouth of the rotary cylinder 30 are fixed to the upper and lower portions of the rotary cylinder 30. A support shaft 44 projects from the center of the upper plate 40, the support shaft 44 penetrates the cover plate portion 22 via a bearing 46, and a large-diameter stopper portion 48 is provided at the tip thereof. In this way, the rotary cylinder 30 is suspended so as to be rotatable with respect to the cover plate portion 22. On the other hand, a motor 50 is attached to the inside of the base portion 10, and the rotary shaft 52 of the motor 50 penetrates through the through hole 54 of the substrate portion 12 with a gap, so that the rotary shaft 52 can be prevented from slipping. The square-axis-shaped protruding portion is inserted into the square-hole-shaped stopper hole 56 of the lower plate 42. The rotary cylinder 30 is adapted to rotate clockwise.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the inner cylinder 60 is a thin tube having an inner diameter of a fraction of the inner diameter of the rotary cylinder 30 and the same length as the rotary cylinder 30. It stands upright on the vertical axis. The inner cylinder 60 is made of white synthetic resin and is fixedly supported in the rotary cylinder 30 by the upper plate 40 and the lower plate 42 of the rotary cylinder 30. Inside the inner cylinder 60, a vertical support column 62 is provided from the upper plate 40 to the lower plate 42, and a plurality of straight tube fluorescent lamps 64 are attached to the support column 62 so that the fluorescent lamps 64 can be turned on.

Next, the operation of this sine pole S1 will be described. When the sign pole S1 is used, the fluorescent lamp 64 in the inner cylinder 60 is turned on, and the inner cylinder 60 serves as a white light source. When the motor 50 is energized and the motor 50 is driven, the rotary cylinder 30 and the inner cylinder 60 rotate clockwise. As a result, the viewer can see the rising feeling of the blue-white band-shaped pattern 32 and the red-white band-shaped pattern 36 of the rotary cylinder 30 through the transparent case member 20. At that time, since the rotary cylinder 30 is made of a transparent material, the blue-white belt-shaped pattern 32 and the red-white belt-shaped pattern 36 (excluding the portion blocked by the inner cylinder 60) on the inner wall of the rotary cylinder 30 facing the viewer are excluded. ), The viewer can recognize it at the same time. Therefore, with this sign pole S1, it is possible to give a greater impact to the viewer, and the effect as a sign pole becomes greater. Since the upper decoration member 24 is a white light that does not rotate, the pattern of the rotating cylinder 30 has a complicated rotation pattern against this immovable white light, so that the viewer can see it from a distance. The impact will be great. As described above, according to the sign pole S1, it is possible to give a large impact in view of the cost of applying the same design, and it is possible to reduce the cost as compared with the magnitude of the impact given to the viewer. is there.

Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment corresponding to the invention of claim 2 will be described based on FIG. 5 focusing on the difference from the first embodiment. The same members as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The sine pole S2 has a larger diameter and is lower than the sine pole S1 of the first embodiment. Further, the upper decorative member 24 is not provided, but the flat upper lid cylindrical cylindrical lid 80 is provided. The outer rotary cylinder 82 corresponding to the rotary cylinder 30 is made of a transparent synthetic resin as in the first embodiment, but has a spiral shape that is upwardly directed in the counterclockwise direction on its surface. Only the blue-white belt-like pattern 84 (having the blue belt portion 86B and the white belt portion 86W) is applied.

The inner rotary cylinder 90 corresponding to the inner cylinder 60 is formed of white synthetic resin as in the first embodiment, but has a larger diameter than that of the first embodiment, and A spiral red band-shaped pattern 92 is provided (that is, in a direction opposite to the above-described blue-white band-shaped pattern 84) directed downward in the clockwise direction.

Next, the operation of the sine pole S2 will be described. The outer rotary cylinder 82 and the inner rotary cylinder 90 are rotated clockwise by the motor 50. As a result, the viewer feels as if the bluish-white striped pattern 84 of the outer rotary cylinder 82 rises and the red striped pattern 92 of the inner rotary cylinder 90 descends inside thereof. Therefore, according to the sign pole S2, not only a three-dimensional impression is given to the viewer, but also an unusually strong impact that one belt-like pattern rises and one belt-like pattern descends can be given.

<Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment corresponding to the invention of claim 3 is different from the first embodiment based on FIGS. 6 (a), 6 (b) and 7. The points will be mainly described. The case member 120 (corresponding to the case member 20 of the first embodiment) of this sine pole S3 has a square tubular shape.

The rotary cylinder 130 (corresponding to the rotary cylinder 30 of the first embodiment) is made of a transparent synthetic resin as in the first embodiment, and has a blue discontinuous spiral pattern 135B and a white color on its surface. A discontinuous spiral pattern 135W and a red discontinuous spiral pattern 135R are provided. The blue discontinuous spiral pattern 135B is formed by stacking a large number of elongated blue rectangular block pattern elements (basic pattern elements) 137B laterally offset from each other. Similarly, the red discontinuous spiral pattern 135R is formed from a number of laterally elongated rectangular red block pattern elements 137R. Further, the white discontinuous spiral pattern 135W is configured by arranging a large number of square-shaped white block pattern elements 137W in the horizontal direction while being displaced upward.

The upper decorative member 124 is formed by stacking a rectangular frame 124b inside a transparent cased cylindrical case member 124a.

In the sine pole S3, the rotating cylinder 130 rotates clockwise so that the blue discontinuous spiral pattern 135B, the white discontinuous spiral pattern 135W, and the red discontinuous spiral pattern 135R vibrate. Will rise. This has a greater impact on the viewer.

In the first embodiment, the inner cylinder 60 is fixed to the rotary cylinder 30 and does not rotate together with the rotary cylinder 30, but the inner cylinder 60 is not fixed to the rotation 30 and is fixed in an immovable state. It may have been done. Further, the inner cylinder 60 may be provided with a pattern or the like. Further, in the above embodiments, the case members 20 and 120 are not limited to the cylindrical shape and the quadrangular cylindrical shape, and various kinds such as a hexagonal cylindrical shape can be applied. Further, the surfaces of the rotary cylinder 30 (first embodiment), the outer rotary cylinder 82, and the inner rotary cylinder 90 (above, second embodiment) are not limited to spiral band-shaped patterns, but various shapes such as a polka dot pattern. Can be patterned. Further, although the above sign pole has a transparent case member as a whole, the case member does not necessarily have to be transparent as a whole. May be viewed. Further, the upper decoration member is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and various kinds can be applied. Further, both of the above examples are sign poles installed at barber shops, but the present invention is not limited to those for barber shops, and is widely applied as a display device in a broad sense such as for beauty salons and cosmetics stores. can do. In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in a mode in which various modifications are made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
