Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a signboard device, and more specifically, it is a signboard device that is installed, for example, at a storefront to attract the attention of people passing by. The present invention aims to provide a signboard device having a structure in which mist is ejected by an atomizing device so that the image of steam such as food is mainly associated with warm and delicious food.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, various signs that rotate or blink a lamp are placed at a storefront such as a coffee shop or a restaurant so as to attract people who pass by.

"Problems to be solved by the device" However, with the conventional method as described above, it is difficult for people who pass by with care to notice the eyes, even for those who pass by with caution. there were.

Therefore, there has been a strong demand for the appearance of a signboard device having a novel structure that makes it easier to attract people's attention, improves the image of the product, and makes the product want or eat at a glance.

"Means for solving problems" The present invention was made as a result of repeated thoughts and errors day and night in order to satisfy the conventional demand in view of such a situation. It has been found that it is best to provide a signboard that shows, and as a result, an appropriate advertising material model body is placed above the appropriately shaped housing, and the water in the water storage tank is atomized inside the housing. And an air blower for sending out the mist generated by the atomizer, and a duct for guiding the mist guided by the air blower is provided with a discharge port formed on the upper surface of the advertising material model body. This is a signboard device in which

"Operation" Therefore, if you open the door provided on the back side of the housing and put water in the tank and turn on the power, fog will be generated by the atomizing device, and the generated fog will be blown through the duct by the blower to It can be discharged from a discharge port formed on the upper surface.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view, FIG. 2 is an external perspective view, FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of essential parts, and FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram. For example, a metal plate such as stainless steel is bent to form a hollow box. An advertising material model body 3 made of, for example, a synthetic resin imitating a bowl shape is placed above a housing 1 which has a door 2 which is formed on the back side and which can be opened and closed, and a water tank inside the housing 1. 4. A so-called ultrasonic atomizer that atomizes water by a ceramic vibrator connected to an electronic circuit such as a transmission circuit, or a device that produces steam by evaporating water, or An atomizing device 5 including a device that atomizes water by blowing it onto a cloth that has absorbed water
And a blowing device 6 for sending out the fog generated by the atomizing device 5.
And a duct 7 for guiding the mist guided by the air blower 6 is connected via a joint 8 to a discharge port 9 formed in the upper surface of the advertising material model body 3 to form a signboard device. A substrate 10 is provided on the bottom of the housing 1 and casters 11, 11, ... Are attached to the bottom, and a device for moving the signboard device of the present invention on both sides of the upper surface 1
1'is provided.

In addition, there is a fluorescent tube 12 inside the housing 1, and it illuminates through a translucent body 13 on which an advertising phrase or a trade name is printed on the outer surface made of, for example, an acrylic resin fitted on the side surface of the housing 1. It is like this.

Further, the advertising material model body 3 is formed in a hollow shape, the upper surface is formed in a concave shape with a high outer circumference, and a slightly high slope is formed toward the center, and a duct 7 is inserted in the center. 14 is provided, and several drainage holes 15 are drilled at the lowest portion, and the bottom portion is a wall body 16 on which the outer peripheral portion of the duct 7 is erected and falls from the drainage hole 15. A gutter-shaped part 17 for receiving the collected water is provided, and the outlet is provided at a proper place on the outer periphery.
18 is perforated so that water can be discharged to the outside, so that rainwater or the like does not enter the casing 1 through the sealed set screw portion 19 or the like.

Further, a lid 9B provided with a large number of small holes 9A for forming the discharge port 9 is fitted into the hole 14. Discharge port 9
Since the lid 9B with the small hole 9A is fitted in the inside, the flow of fog is dark and can be clearly seen, and even if this signboard device is installed outdoors and the outdoor advertising material model body 3 is exposed to rainwater. , A mist can be discharged from a small hole.

In particular, the ultrasonic atomization device, unlike atomization by heating and evaporation, does not depend on the outside air and can visualize the mist well regardless of whether the outside air is high or low, and can express steam or cold air well.

Further, the lid 9B hardly allows rainwater to enter the inside thereof, so that the atomizing device can be operated smoothly, and it also serves as a cover for preventing foreign substances such as cigarettes from being thrown in.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a switch 20 is connected in series to the fluorescent tube 12 so that only the lighting is turned off after the store is closed to prevent water from freezing in winter. In order to do so, an example is shown in which the heating element 22 and the fan motor 23, the temperature of which is controlled by the temperature control device 21 such as a bimetal, can be operated continuously.

Therefore, if water is put in the tank 4 and the power is turned on, mist is generated by the atomizing device 5, and the blower 6 guides the mist to the discharge port 9 to discharge the mist, thus creating a state as if steam is being emitted. You can

Further, the housing and ducts are detachable so that they can be easily cleaned, and the surface of the bowl may be in the form of ramen, for example.

(Second Embodiment) FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention, which is a model of a coffee cup instead of the bowl of the above embodiment. The same effect can be achieved.

(Other Embodiments) The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and for example, the amount of fog generated by the atomizing device can be appropriately set or adjusted by adjusting the amount of atomization and the amount of blown air. It can be equipped with a timer circuit so as to have it, or it can be made to intermittently discharge every predetermined time, water can be supplied directly from the water supply instead of the tank, and the advertising model The number of bodies may be plural, the animal or monster other than food may be imitated, and the lighting device may be based on other means or forms. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Is.

"Effect of device" As described above, this device can spray fog as if steam is coming out, which attracts people's attention and gives a good image intensely, which is highly effective in advertising, safe and convenient. It becomes a signboard device that can be used for.
