Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a notice board.

The invention proposes to attach a plurality of segments with contrasting color double-sided surfaces to the body in an eight-movement manner.

Pivotal rotation of each segment allows selective viewing of one or the other side of the segment, and proper positioning of the segments allows for the formation of a display. One side of each segment is usually the same color as the body of the notice board.

The segments are created by making corresponding notches in the body (cut sections usually form segments) and by attaching the segments into these notches with a rotation axis so that the segments can rotate freely. In one preferred embodiment, preferably formed, the segments are hexagonal and are attached to the body by pivots at opposite corners of the hexagon.

A support plate larger than the bodies can hold one or more of the bodies with corresponding segments in juxtaposition or alignment, thus forming a desired symbol or symbol group.

The billboard may also be equipped with a lighting system to illuminate the display.

These plates and segments are preferably made of plastic material, although other suitable materials can of course be used.

The notice board has a body and a plurality of suitably arranged segments rotatably mounted on the body. These segments have two sides of different colors, one side may be the same color as the body and the other side is a color that contrasts with the body color. , rotation of the segment allows selective display of either side, depending on whether the segment visually contrasts with the body of the notice board or melts away.

The body and its segments are preferably attached to the support plate by a hinge at the top and a magnet or other attachment at the bottom.

By appropriately positioning multiple segments on the body and visual representations of these segments, the desired character (possibly made possible by having several such bodies and multiple corresponding segments), The formation of numbers and other data groups is possible.

Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The notice board (forming a display panel) according to the invention has a body 1 supporting a plurality of elongated hexagonal shaped segments 2, which segments are in an 8'' shaped array. The segments are sections having the full thickness of the body 1 and are connected to the body 1 by pivots 3, of which there are two for each segment 2.
They are located at diametrically opposite corners of the rectangular segment 2. Its pivot 3 allows each segment 2 to rotate in place.

Each segment 2 has one face whose color (eg white) is different from the color of the body 1 (eg blue).

Thus, pivoting a segment will cause it to face one or the other side as desired, depending on whether the segment 2 visually contrasts with the body 1 of the notice board or melts into the body 1 and disappears. It can be displayed.

The body 1 is itself mounted on a support plate 4 of a larger size that supports the segment 2 and can accommodate one or more other bodies 1, similar or different. Thus, by suitably juxtaposing a plurality of notice boards and suitably positioning a plurality of segments 2 on each body 1, a desired group of letters, numbers or other data can be formed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the body 1 is hingedly connected at its uppermost portion 5 to a support plate and is supported by a magnet 6 on the support plate.

Alternatively, the magnet may be replaced by a clip 7 or any other equivalent mounting means, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, as another alternative, the hinge 5 may also be replaced by a clip or any other equivalent attachment means.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

1 is a perspective view of a notice board according to the invention having segments of the notice board somewhat rotated relative to the plane of the body of the notice board; and FIG. , shows an enlarged plan view of a portion of the notice board of FIG. 1;

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. It has a main body and a plurality of segments rotatably mounted on the main body, and the segment has one side of a color different from the main body and the opposite side of the same color as the main body, A notice board characterized in that the rotation of each segment selectively reveals one side or the other of the segments, and the appropriate positioning of the segments forms a display. 2. The notice board of claim 1, wherein the plurality of segments are attached to corresponding notches in the body and are freely rotatable within the notches. 3. The notice board according to claim 2, wherein said segments are hexagonal and have a pair of diametrically opposed pivot axes for rotation of each segment. 4. The notice board according to claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein the main body is supported on a support plate. 5. The notice board of claim 4, wherein a plurality of bodies each having a corresponding segment are mounted on a support plate. 6. The notice board according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein the plurality of segments are arranged to form a desired symbol, letter, or number. . 7. The notice board according to any one of claims 1 to 6, comprising means for illuminating the main body and a plurality of segments. 8. A notice board substantially as herein described with reference to and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
