Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a mechanical device that can obtain great display effects with a relatively simple structure.

Conventionally, there have been a variety of display devices that can be seen on the streets. For example, you can see it on the walls of buildings, etc., where columns with an equilateral triangular cross section are placed along the horizontal line, and the
One that rotates the surface 120 degrees and changes the screen to three types (
(Fig. 1), but the number of images that could be displayed was only three, and they were limited to static images with no movement at all. This type of device is relatively common, and when it first appeared on the streets as an advertising device, it attracted a lot of attention because the screen changed, but sometimes there were only three types of images that changed. Gradually, I stopped attracting the attention of Person 9.

Another type of screen is used for destination displays on the front of buses and traffic signs that change depending on the time of day, where one screen is displayed for a certain period of time and then the next screen is displayed. In this case, the screen is rolled up using a roller or the like and then slid (Figure 2). The disadvantages of this device are that it takes a long time to move to the next screen, and during that time it performs unnecessary operations such as showing the seams between images, and that the number of images that can be displayed is not very large. This device is sometimes seen as a small device placed in a store as an advertising device, but when pedestrians see it, it takes time to move on to the next screen, so only the seams can be seen. Both were inefficient.

Another type of display is the one used in airport lobbies and train station platforms to display information such as departure and arrival times and destinations of planes and trains, with letters and numbers printed on two thin plates. In some cases, the display is divided into upper and lower halves, and when changing the displayed content, the display is turned over using the center line of the two boards as a fulcrum (Figure 4). This device can still be seen today, but due to structural constraints, the device itself has a size limit and can only display a certain amount of letters and numbers, so it can only be seen from a short distance. When actually using it, you have to get very close to confirm the contents.
The drawback was that the displayed content could not be confirmed.

As described above, conventional image and character display devices of this type have many drawbacks. However, the device of the present invention has C
Their drawback is that the number of images that can be displayed is small. It takes a long time to move to the next screen, and there are unnecessary movements such as showing the seams. There are restrictions on the size of characters and numbers that can be displayed. This device overcomes all the drawbacks of the conventional device.

In other words, the number of images that can be displayed is surprisingly large, in principle more than 1,000 types, and it takes almost no time to move from the previous image to the next. The letters and numbers displayed therein have no size restrictions. It seems that the display effect will be significantly increased.

Another feature of the device of the present invention is that by simply changing the design on the sheet (2), it is possible to display moving images, although not complete movements. Nowadays, television and other devices have developed, and the information that the general public receives from them accounts for an extremely large amount of information. However, the form of this information is one that has ``movement'' that is directly visible. On the other hand, most of the advertisements and signs that you see on the street are static, and for people who are used to moving information on TV, they do not attract much attention and remain in the memory. There were also few. However, since the device of the present invention can attract attention with moving images, its display effect is tremendous.

The operating principle of this device will be explained in Fig. 5, but in order to make it easier to understand the structure and operating principle, the arrangement of each part is simplified in Fig. C. First, there is a sheet that can be easily bent (2), for example, a sheet that has a structure such as paper that can be moved on it without resistance (1), such as a plate. Place plastic etc. after njf at intervals, and place many similar ones next to it.Next, insert the sheet (2) from the gap at the end of the side (X) where one gap is lined up. , take it out from the first gap on the surface (Y) where the gaps on the opposite side are lined up.Then, put it in from the second gap on the surface (Y), and place it in the first gap on the surface (x).
Take it out from the second gap, put it in again from the second gap on surface (X), and take it out from the second gap on surface (Y).
...and so on, the number of (1) arbitrarily set is passed through all. Then, a collection of vertically divided sheets (2) appears in part (5). In this stationary state, draw some design in the area surrounded by (5) on the surface of (1). Next, if you slide the sheet (2) to either side by the length of the gap, the design you just drew will be hidden and a blank sheet (2) will come out. Draw a pattern here again in the same way. In this way,
When you have finished drawing on all sheets (2), roll up to the first drawn pattern and move sheet (2) by the distance between the gaps (by the width of one (1)) in order.
It can display an extremely large number of still images that change instantly.

The design drawn on this sheet (2) can also be produced in large quantities in advance by printing or the like. For example, the first
When displaying a still image as shown in Figure 4,
The developed view of (2) is as shown in FIG. 15, and when the sheet (2) is actually in the device, the positional relationship of each design is as shown in FIG. 16.

Applying this to an actual device and calculating the number of displayed images, we get the following.

The width of (1) is Icm, the distance between (+) in the front row and (1) in the handling row is 50 cm % The number of sheets lined up horizontally in (1) is 10
If it is 0, one image will be composed of 100 divisions.

In this case, the number of images that can be displayed is calculated using (sub)7 cm, and a completely different display of 101 meters can be made. Moreover, since another image can be displayed on the back side of the sheet (2), the number of images that can be displayed is doubled to 202 types. Furthermore, if the width of (]) is halved to 0.5cm, the number of still images will be doubled to 404k, and if the front and back doors of (1) are made to be 100cm, the number of still images will be doubled to 808, which is a completely different type of still image. can be displayed. In addition, the number of images can be increased by winding up the sheet (2) in advance on a delivery roll and sending it out in sequence. Furthermore, this device can be used without having to draw a design by gluing a ready-made poster or the like to the part (3) and cutting it along the gap. Another possible method is to stack two sheets (2) and sandwich a cut piece of poster or the like between them.

The display principle of moving images is basically the same as that of still images, however, the design of the sheet (2) is different. When displaying static images, the image displayed in the first scan and the image displayed in the second scan could be completely unrelated; however,
In the case of a video, the second image to be displayed next to the first displayed image.
The 3rd image is a slightly changed version of the 1st image.
The second image is also displayed with slight changes to the second image. The fourth item is similarly displayed with a slight change. (Figure 6) If you display images that change the previous image little by little one after another in this way at a fast speed, the images that appear will not be static, but will have movement. In other words, it is similar to the principle of movies, in which a movie is originally a static photograph frame by frame, but by continuously changing the frames one after another, it can be shown as a moving image. Also, the animation that is broadcast on TV etc. was originally created by drawing pictures on boards called cels, changing them one by one, and then showing them continuously to create movement. There is.

The reason why the device of the present invention is able to display moving images and the conventional devices cannot is because the device can instantly change the screen to the next one. Although it is possible to display a still image with the screen shown in FIG. 2, it is impossible to display a moving image because it takes a considerable amount of time to move the sheet from at least a to a before moving to the next screen. However, as shown in Fig. 3, the device of the present invention displays one screen divided into 8 parts even if the length from b to a is the same. Since it is possible to change to the next screen in - time, it is possible to display videos that require the next screen to be displayed instantly. C
If the number of divisions constituting one image is 100,
The time required to move to the next screen is also -100%. (1)
If you make the width as small as possible, you will be able to make finer movements.

What can be displayed as a video can, for example, change a person's reward or make a car or person run on the screen.

Next, embodiments of the apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 5 shows the first embodiment, in which a take-up roll (3) and a delivery roll are provided at both ends of the sheet (2), and the delivery roll (4) is used to transfer the sheet (2) to the delivery roll (4). The number of images that can be displayed is increased by wrapping the screen around the screen.

Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the second embodiment, in which (1) is shaped like a curved plate, and the arrangement is not in a horizontal straight line but in a circle, with the inside (7) (1) A roller with good slippage. Of course, the shape of the inner part (1) may be a rectangle.

The advantage of C-resist is that it can be viewed from all directions at 300 degrees, making it ideal for outdoor advertising. In particular, since its shape is cylindrical, the design of canned soft drinks,
C can be displayed exactly as it is (Fig. 18), and
Since it is possible to display several different types of drinks, it would be possible to display Kunghura, then an orange drink, then a grape drink, and so on. In the above example, it is possible to arrange the arrangement in (1) in a circular or rectangular manner, and in the case of C, it can be seen from all four directions, so it is thought to be suitable for advertisements on the roof of a building.

FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment, in which the delivery roll and take-up roll of the first embodiment are omitted, and both ends of the sheet (2) are joined. This repeats the same content in a certain cycle, so it is suitable for applications where the same thing must be displayed many times. Also, since the back side of sheet (2) is not used, it is conceivable to make sheet (1) transparent and sheet (2) translucent, and install lighting equipment inside or behind (1). .

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the fifth embodiment. This is the surface (X)
A roller ": (6) is provided between the surface (Y) and the surface (Y).
Since the length of the surface (X) and the length of the surface (Y) can be reduced, the size of the entire device can be made very compact.

FIG. 1I shows the fifth embodiment, in which the take-up roll and the delivery roll have a removable structure so that they can be easily replaced when the display contents are completely replaced.

Figures 12 and 13 show sheet (2) of (1).
Leaving only the part that directly corresponds to , omitting the middle part 11
