Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of advertising devices, and more particularly to the rotation of a housing having display windows on the front and back sides of a mechanical rotary multi-surface display advertising device and the display of a divided strip of pixel pieces by a sliding method. The present invention relates to a structure of a rotary multi-screen display advertising device in which screen switching is performed by one drive motor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a general advertisement display device, in addition to a conventional signboard and neon sign, an electric display panel and a screen, in which a large number of light-emitting diodes and light bulbs are arranged vertically and horizontally to change the display content one after another, have become widespread. However, although the former simple signboard is inexpensive, it is a single static expression and the advertising effect appealing to the public can not be expected so much, and the latter means of displaying electric lighting such as an electric light display panel can be any display contents Can be said to be an excellent dynamic advertisement device in that it can be displayed by computer control, but the structure is complicated due to the introduction of electronics, and it is inevitably an extremely expensive advertisement display device.

[0003] In this respect, a mechanical advertisement device which is structurally simple, can switch a plurality of advertisement screens alternately, is easy to use, and is inexpensive is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-8-7.
No. 6701, “Indicator and method of manufacturing the same”, and Japanese Patent Application No. 9-90, filed by the inventor of the present application.
There is a "mechanical two-screen switching display device" described in the specification of Japanese Patent No. 190823.

An example of the display conversion principle of the mechanical switching display device is described in detail in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 9-190823, but in short, FIG.
As shown in (b), which shows the front view shown in FIG. 1 and a cross-section taken along the line D-D, the upper surface of the divided display sheet 5 divided so as to form one advertisement screen as a whole on the surface is transparent. A plurality of divided strip-shaped pixel pieces α having a configuration formed by pasting the overlapping margin portion so as to extend the transparent film 6 are arranged in a horizontal line, and each of the strip-shaped pixel pieces α, α,.
The split screen unit A in which the upper and lower ends are connected and fixed to the frame body 4 and the front view shown in FIG. A plurality of strip-shaped pixel pieces β, β,... Composed of a divided display sheet 7 and a transparent film 8 as shown in FIG. 9 are arranged and connected and fixed to a frame 4 ′. a) As shown in FIG.
1, α2, α3,... And β1, β2, β3,.
The advertisement screen of the divided screen unit A of 1, α2, α3,. 9), one of the divided screen units B is intermittently slid in the direction of the arrow to form the strip-shaped pixel pieces β1, β2, β of the divided screen unit B as shown in FIG.
3. All of the strip-shaped pixel pieces α1, of the divided screen unit A
(The advertisement screen of the divided screen unit B can be seen from above.) so as to appear on α2, α3,... in each of the strip-shaped pixel pieces α1, α2, α3 in the divided screen units A, B.
.. And β1, β2, β3... Are alternated so that the screen appearing in the display window is alternately switched.

[0005] The transparent films 6 and 8 serve as a guide for correctly sliding each strip-shaped pixel piece.

The sliding (intermittent reciprocation) of the split screen unit A or B is performed by driving a motor.
Conventionally, the display window itself of the display panel of the switching display device is not moved, and the display screen is fixed in a fixed direction after installation. Therefore,
On the back side of the display window, a drive motor and a transmission mechanism for rotating the motor and intermittent slide drive and an electric circuit were disposed.

The split screen units A and B2
Draw four advertising screens according to the front and back sides of each of the two sheets, so that two display windows provided in front and back (= front and back) of a housing (display board) containing two split screen units of the device can be seen from two directions. In this case, four advertisement screens are sequentially switched and displayed on the entire switching display device, and it can be said that the advertisement effect is enhanced.

[0008] Even if the advertisement screens can be seen from two directions by using both sides of the display panel as display windows as described above, if the direction of the display window of the switching display device is fixed as in the prior art, it can be seen well. Since the direction is restricted to two fixed front and rear directions, the installation direction of the switching display device is actually a problem, and after all, it is impossible to see all four intermittently switched advertisement screens when viewed from a certain direction. Because it is not possible, the advertising capacity is small and the advertising effect is still not enough.

In order to maximize the advertising effect of the switching display device, it is conceivable to change the direction of the display window in the device with time. For example, a frame-shaped housing (display plate) having display windows on both front and rear sides is slowly rotated around its vertical center axis, and the advertisement display screens appearing on the front and rear display windows are viewed from one direction, and time elapses. In addition, if all the advertisement screens are made completely visible sequentially, all four advertisement screens can be viewed from one direction.

[0010]

However, as described above, in the conventional mechanical two-screen switching display device, two advertisement display screens are alternately provided only from one display window in a direction fixed to the device. The drive mechanism and the like are disposed on the back side on the premise that switching appears. Therefore, with the same transmission mechanism and drive motor arrangement, the display windows are provided on the front and rear two sides (front and back two sides) of the housing. Was impossible.

Further, in order to perform intermittent slide drive while rotating the housing (display panel) around its vertical center axis, a drive mechanism for switching the screen slide and a drive mechanism for rotating the housing (display panel). If both drive motors are provided, the manufacturing cost of the apparatus will inevitably increase, and maintenance will be troublesome.

Of course, if the intermittent slide drive is to be realized electrically, considering the severe use environment, there is a high possibility of contact failure of switches and relays and failure of computer circuit wiring, and frequent maintenance is required. It will be clear that this will be the case.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances in a conventional mechanical multi-screen display advertising apparatus for switching display screens by sliding strip-shaped pixel pieces for split screen display, with the aim of further enhancing the advertising effect. Things.

That is, in order to solve the above-described problems, a simple mechanical mechanism is used while ensuring low cost and reliability.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary multi-face display advertising device having a novel drive transmission mechanism for realizing intermittent slide switching of a display screen and rotation of a housing by a single drive motor by integrally combining a housing rotating unit and a slide switching unit. .

In FIGS. 2, 4, and 6, the contours of components such as gears are described in an overlapped manner, ignoring the vertical relationship of components.

First, the rotary multi-face display advertising device 50 of the present invention.
Is composed of a plurality of divided strip-shaped pixel pieces having transparent overlapping portions forming two advertisement screens on the front and back surfaces as a whole, and the upper and lower ends of each strip-shaped pixel piece are connected to a support frame. Split screen unit A 'having a fixed configuration,
B '(It has substantially the same shape as the conventional split screen units A and B, except that the advertisement screen is drawn on both sides and the support frame is provided not only on the upper and lower sides but also on the left and right side edges. 2) slides one of the divided screen units A ′ left and right with respect to the other divided screen unit B ′, thereby forming each of the strip-shaped pixel pieces of the two divided screen units A ′ and B ′. The front and back overlap as shown in FIG. 1 while overlapping the front and back while sandwiching the overlap margin portion for each of the strip-shaped pixel pieces so that the front and rear overlaps are alternated. Display windows M1, M on the surface
2 (A transparent plastic protective plate is stuck on the surface.)
(Advertising display board having display windows on both sides).

The center of the side edge of the support frame of one of the split screen units A 'is fixed through the horizontally long through hole 2 provided substantially at the center of the one side edge of the housing 1 and fixed inside the housing 1. Can be slid left and right with respect to the other divided screen unit B '.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a drive motor 12 for rotating the housing 1 erected perpendicularly to the base 15 as shown in FIG. 1 around a vertical center axis (shaft) 11 thereof. Rotating means T1 comprising a combination of a pinion gear 13 and a large reduction gear 14 is fixed to a base 15 via two octagonal horizontal fixed support plates 16a and 16b. A first pinion gear 18 that meshes with a large gear 17 fixed to 15 and revolves around it while rotating, and a second pinion gear 19 that meshes with the first pinion gear 18 are fixed to the bottom side of the housing 1. 20
Two cams 21 fixed to the first pinion gear 18 and the second pinion gear 19 coaxially and integrally with the first pinion gear 18 and the second pinion gear 19, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 22 denotes an arrangement in which the housing 1 rotates counterclockwise about two to four times as shown by an arrow while rotating once relative to the base 15 (that is, the gear ratio with the large gear 17). Are approximately 2 to 4), and a reciprocating motion transmission combining a lever 25 and a link 26 for transmitting an intermittent reciprocating motion to the center of the side edge of the housing 1 by reciprocal rotation of the two cams 21 and 22. By disposing the mechanism T2 on the bottom side of the housing 1, the end 25 a of the lever 25 is pushed out to one side by the cam 21, and the link 26, which is axially attached to the point of application of the lever 25, is drawn toward the vertical center axis 11. After a lapse of time, the cam 22
Pushes back the end 25a of the lever 25 in the opposite direction to push out the link 26 toward the side edge of the housing 1, and the lever 28 disposed on one side edge of the housing 1 as shown in FIG.
The lower end 28a locked to the link 26 reciprocates left and right, and the upper end 28b of the lever 28, which is the point of application, reciprocates left and right.

Thus, the split screen unit A 'locked on the upper end 28b of the lever 28 intermittently slides left and right, and the housing 1 rotates while rotating about the vertical center axis 11. In the front and back display windows M1 and M2, two advertising screens (a total of four advertising screens) before and after (front and back) of the two split screen units A 'and B' are alternately displayed at predetermined time intervals. (Corresponding to claim 1).

The mechanical reciprocating motion transmission mechanism T2 using the cams 21 and 22 can switch the screen quickly with a slight rotation of the cam, and can use an elastic body such as a spring or an electric circuit such as a timer or a relay circuit. There is an advantage that a reliable mechanism can be obtained with a simple mechanism that is not required.

Here, the display time interval of the advertisement screen is determined by the rotation speed of the housing 1, the gear ratio, the shape of the cam, and the lever 2
5 determined by the engagement relationship. Normally, the rotation speed of the housing 1 is preferably 2 to 6 rotations per minute as an advertising effect. It is appropriate that the number of screen switching in one rotation of the housing is two to three reciprocations, that is, four to six switching times. Therefore, the time during which one advertisement screen is continuously displayed is generally about 2 seconds to 7 seconds, but this time is noticeable to the passerby and the contents are understood, and the screen is switched to see the new advertisement contents. It is necessary and sufficient time to understand.

The setting of the number of times of switching is performed by simply fixing a large gear 17 and a pinion gear 18 revolving therearound.
The gear ratio of No. 19 (in other words, the rotation ratio between the rotation and the revolution of the pinion gear) may be changed, and the setting of the rotation speed may be changed by changing the reduction ratio of the reduction gear box built in the drive motor 12.

Next, in the multi-screen display advertising device 50,
In addition to the above-described structure having the rotating means T1 and the reciprocating motion transmitting mechanism T2, one display window M1 of the housing 1 as shown in FIG.
An additional display body 37 (for example, a pointing hand indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 1) intermittently reciprocating (rotating at an amplitude angle of about 110 degrees in FIG. 3) is disposed on the front surface of the camera. The two pinion gears 30 and 31 mesh with a large gear 17 similar to the reciprocating motion transmission mechanism T2 in FIGS. 2 and 3 provided separately below the housing 1, and two cams 3 coaxially integrated therewith.
The reciprocating motion transmitting mechanism T3 for transmitting the intermittent reciprocating motion of the combination of the levers 33 and 34 and the link 35 is driven by engaging the lever 36 serving as an arm of the additional display body 37 with the end of the link 35. (Corresponding to claim 2).

The movement of the additional display body 37 due to the addition of the reciprocating motion transmission mechanism T3 is a three-dimensional, dynamic expression in which the screen is rotated and the displayed content is replaced on the back surface, and further moves out of the display window. It is expected that the degree of attention will be greatly increased by integrating with the advertisement screen. Of course, it is possible to easily set the movement of the additional display 37 so as to match the switching timing of the advertisement screen.

The whole operation of driving the rotating means T1 and the reciprocating motion transmitting mechanisms T2 and T3 by one drive motor 12 will be described with reference to FIG.

Pinion gear 13 mounted on a drive motor
Rotates to the right as shown by the arrow, and engages with the large reduction gear 1
4 slowly rotates counterclockwise around the vertical central axis 11 of the housing 1.

Then, the pinion gears 18 and 30 pivotally mounted at the positions defined with respect to the housing 1 slowly revolve around the vertical center axis 11 together with the housing 1 and are fixed to the base so that the center axes are fixed. It meshes with an immobile large gear 17 that coincides with the vertical center axis 11 and rotates counterclockwise at a relatively high speed. Also, of course, the pinion gears 18, 30
Pinion gears 19, 31 of the same shape meshing with
Rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow.

Then, cams 21 and 22 coaxially integrated with the respective pinion gears 18 and 19 and the pinion gears 30 and 31.
The cams 32 and 33 rotate in opposite directions.

The cams 21, 22, 32, and 33 form a protruding arc portion E having a long diameter of about 1/3 turn.
As shown by the broken line in the figure, one end 25a, 34a of the lever 25, 34 pivotally supported on the point J as the fulcrum is pushed in the rotational direction as the point of action.

Then, the operation timing of the set of cams 21 and 22 and the cams 32 and 33 is appropriately adjusted to a predetermined interval, so that the levers 25 and 34 can move two to three while the housing 1 makes one rotation.
Left and right with several tens of degrees of amplitude as shown by the arrow four times (leverage 25⇔2
5 ', lever 34 (34') intermittently reciprocates.

As a result, the links 26 and 35, which are pivotally attached to the distal end of the lever 25, slide approximately linearly and intermittently to the left and right like 26⇔26 'and 35⇔35'.

It should be noted that the rotary multi-face display advertising device 5 according to the present invention.
In the case of 0, the slide amount of the split screen unit is required to be accurate. For this purpose, the amplitude angle of the lever 25 and the position of the fulcrum J, the position of the fulcrum K of the lever 28, the cam 21,
It is important to accurately design the dimensions, shape, etc. of the 22.

As a result, in a short time during which the rotating cams 21 and 22 come into contact with each other, the lever 28 quickly rotates about the fulcrum K, and the divided screen unit A 'intermittently slides right and left sequentially to the display window. Is quickly converted.

As described in detail above, it can be seen that the rotary multi-face display advertising device 50 according to the present invention has a very simple configuration with only mechanical operations, requires little maintenance, and is highly reliable.

As a reminder, in FIG. 1, in addition to the above configuration, a round fluorescent lamp 41 that constantly illuminates the front and back advertising screens rotating from below is provided on the bottom surface of the base 15, and A diamond-shaped cover 43 and a dish-shaped cover 42 (which are fixed to the housing 1) are provided to cover the moving means T1 and the reciprocating transmission mechanisms T2 and T3, but these are adapted to the structure of the apparatus. The base 15 can be appropriately set, and the base 15 can have any shape.

Thus, the rotary multi-face display advertising device 5 of the present invention.
Since 0 is simple, highly reliable, and can be manufactured at low cost, it is expected that its use and demand as a simple advertising device will dramatically expand.

For example, assuming a beer advertisement in a liquor store, an advertisement drawn on one of the four advertisement screens to be switched is used as a face of a large-scale person, and a lever 36 that reciprocates.
Represents the arm of a person, and if the beer mug held in the other hand is used as the additional display body 37, the operation of bringing the beer mug close to the mouth is dynamically expressed in conjunction with the switching of the advertisement screen to “ It is possible to effectively promote "delicious beer" in all directions along with other advertising screens.
