Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rotating display device used for advertising and decoration inside a store or for decorating a study room or the like.

[Prior art]

In particular, display devices placed in stores must have an eye-catching effect.

An element that attracts people's attention is the sense of mystery and mystery that appears when viewing a display, but it is extremely difficult to create such mystique and wonder technically.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a rotating display device that, when viewed, makes one think of the relationship between planets and satellites in space, and makes the satellites appear to be floating in space.

[Structure of the invention]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an obliquely installed stationary shaft,
The invention is characterized in that it supports a sphere that is rotationally driven by a motor built inside, a transparent disk that protrudes like a brim is attached to the outer periphery of the sphere, and a small object is attached to the periphery of the transparent disk. It is something to do.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a spherical body made of a mirror ball having a large number of mirror pieces 2 on its surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a stationary shaft serving as the center of rotation of the sphere 1, and the arm 4 attached to the upper end is suspended by a chain 5, so that it can be tilted. The inclination state of the stationary shaft 3 can be arbitrarily changed by changing its position with respect to the plurality of mounting holes 4a provided in the arm 4. The inclination state of the stationary shaft 3 can be changed by changing the attachment position of the chain 5 to the arm 4.

The spherical body 1 is composed of two halves 1a and Ib that are divided in half along a perpendicular plane that crosses the stationary axis 3, and these two halves 1a and lb can be detachably separated. The lower half body 1b has two upper and lower support plates 6, 7.
The gear motor 8 is rotatably supported on a stationary shaft 3 via a support plate 7 on the lower side thereof. A gear 10 provided on the drive shaft 9 of the geared motor 8 is connected to the stationary shaft 3
It meshes with a gear 11 fixed above, and by rotating using a battery 12 as a power source, the support plate 7 and the sphere 1 are rotated around the stationary shaft 3. Reference numeral 13 denotes a switch for turning on and off the circuit of the guard motor 8, which can be turned on and off by pulling a string 13a hanging down to the outside of the sphere 1.

14 is a transparent disk. This transparent disc 14 has its inner edge portion removably sandwiched between the halves ia and ib,
Moreover, it largely protrudes outward from the outer periphery of the sphere 1 in the shape of a flange. One or more small spherical objects 15 are detachably attached to the peripheral edge of the transparent disk 14. Further, a ring-shaped painted color 16 is applied to the peripheral edge of the transparent disk 14.

The transparent disk 14 rotates around the stationary shaft 3 together with the spherical body 1 with such a small object 15 attached thereto.

Only one small object 15 may be provided, but if two or more small objects 15 are provided, it is desirable that they be arranged point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the transparent disk 14. By providing point symmetry in this manner, the weight can be balanced and the rotation of the sphere 1 and the transparent disk 14 can be stabilized. Furthermore, the small object 15 is not limited to a sphere, but may be a square or triangular small three-dimensional object.

In the above embodiment, the sphere 1 is a mirror ball, but it does not necessarily have to be a mirror ball. for example,
By making a sphere with patterns such as maps or constellations on it, you can create the atmosphere of a planet in space. However, in the case of a mirror ball, by placing it in the dark and shining a spotlight on it, the reflected light can be projected onto walls, etc., creating a very dazzling atmosphere.

Although the ring-shaped painted color 16 of the transparent disk 14 is not necessarily necessary, by providing it, the atmosphere of Saturn's rings can be created.

In the embodiment, the stationary shaft 3 is suspended by a chain 5, but the stationary shaft 3 may be directly installed diagonally on a table or wall without being suspended in this manner.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the above-described rotating display device of the present invention, a sphere automatically rotates around an inclined stationary axis, and a small object is rotated via a transparent disc protruding from the outer periphery of the sphere. It appears as if it were a planet and small objects were rotating around it as satellites. Moreover, because the small object is passing through a transparent disk, the transparent disk is invisible and it appears as if it were floating independently in space. Therefore, it can greatly attract people with its mystery and wonder.

In particular, when the sphere is made into a mirror ball and suspended in the dark, the above effect can be further enhanced in combination with the reflection effect of the spotlight.
