Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to an indicator that is attached to an item such as a baggage used in a distribution system to indicate the destination and type of the item. etc. are represented by encoded numbers that can be read by optical means.

(Prior art) For example, the destination, type, etc. of an item can be indicated using a multi-digit number, and a single number for each digit can be set using reflective tape of the same shape in two rows and two columns on a base plate. Conventionally, there have been known display boards in which the destination, type, etc. of an item can be read by optical means by selectively pasting it on a predetermined position among the four pasting positions. However, with this conventional display board, if the reflective tape is pasted in the wrong position, the numbers will be written incorrectly, and if the reflective tape is misplaced, for example if it is pasted diagonally, the reading device will not be able to read the numbers properly. In addition, when the destinations and types of goods are diverse, the work of applying reflective tape is extremely complicated.

Therefore, a sheet encoded with numbers using an optically detected reflective surface or other display device is placed at a predetermined position on the base plate, and a cover plate with multiple window holes is superimposed on the base plate. However, a display device has been devised in which the display on the sheet exposed through the window hole represents coded numbers that can be read by optical means.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) The above-mentioned display device has "0" on the sheet
Since the numbers ``9'' and ``9'' are encoded, there is no need to worry about the numbers being written incorrectly.
Furthermore, even if the sheet is slightly slanted, the display is corrected by the window hole, so there is no need to worry about misreading the numbers, and workability is improved. It was necessary to prepare 10 types of sheets of ``9'', and improvements in this point were desired.

The present invention has been developed in view of these points, and is an attempt to reduce the number of types of sheets to be prepared while making use of the advantages of the above-mentioned display device.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The display device of the present invention uses a plurality of areas 17 in a predetermined row and a predetermined column as one unit, and a display is optically detected in a large number of areas 17 corresponding to the plurality of units. For example, by selectively representing the reflective surfaces 15, 15a, each unit consisting of the plurality of areas 17 in the predetermined rows and columns is coded with "0" to "9" read by optical means. Sheets 3, 31, 32 representing optically detected indicators 15, 15a are attached to the base plate 1 to represent a number of one unit.
A cover plate 2 is placed on the base plate 1 at a predetermined position, and a cover plate 2 having a large number of window holes 11 smaller than the area 17 corresponding to the large number of areas 17 of the plurality of units is superimposed on the base plate 1. Display 15 of the sheets 3, 31, 32 exposed from
15a, in which the sheets 3, 3
At least a part of 1, 32 is indicated by 15, 15a
A plurality of coded numbers are expressed by sharing a part of the coded numbers and changing the direction, and the numbers 16 for visual inspection corresponding to these coded numbers are displayed in the direction of the corresponding display 15, 15a. It is characterized by being expressed together.

(Function) The display device of the present invention includes displays 15, 15a on the sheets 3, 31, 32 arranged on the base plate 1.
is exposed in a state bordered by the window hole 11 of the cover plate 2. When using sheets 3, 31, 32 representing a plurality of numbers, the arrangement direction can be changed by changing the arrangement direction. Displays 15 and 15a corresponding to the numerals 16 for visual viewing facing in the direction corresponding to the above are exposed through the window hole 11.

(Example) An example of the display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the display device, 1 is the base plate,
2 is a cover plate, and 3 is a sheet.

The upper surface of the base plate 1 is formed, for example, in a matte black color so as to minimize the reflection of light, and as shown in FIG. It is shown by printing etc.

The cover plate 2 is superimposed on the upper surface of the base plate 1 and is integrated with the base plate 1 by a suitable removable method such as fitting. For example, it is formed in a matte black color so as to minimize A rectangular viewing window hole 12 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sheet 3 has a reflective surface 15 and visual Arabic numerals 16 printed or the like on its front surface, and an adhesive applied to its rear surface. The reflective surface 15a, which is located in the center of the sheet 3 and occupies half of the total area, functions as a code, and the reflective surfaces 15b, which are located in both ends of the sheet 3 and occupy 1/4 of the total area, function as synchronization. The Arabic numerals 16 are displayed on the reflective surfaces 15b, either overlapping or independently, with the center of the sheet 3, where the reflective surface 15a is located, facing upward.

As shown in FIG.
By dividing the column into four areas 17 and selectively representing 0 to 3 of these four areas 17, these four areas 17 are considered as one unit, and this one unit is made up of four areas 17. It represents one of the numbers "0" to "9", and the Arabic numeral 16 corresponding to this encoded number is below the reflective surface 15a for the code of each sheet 3 (reflective surface 1
5a) in the vertical direction of the number represented by 5a.

Note that the cover plate 2 is provided in each area 17.
This corresponds to the code window 11, which is formed smaller than the corresponding area 17.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the sheets 3 corresponding to the numbers "1" and "8" and "2" and "4" are shared, and by changing their directions, "1" or "8", "2"
Or it can represent "4".

Further, these sheets 3 are connected to a continuous sheet body 1 through a cutting line 18, as shown in FIG.
9, and when used, it is peeled off from the mount 20.

Then, this display device is manufactured by pasting a predetermined sheet 3 peeled off from the mount 20 at a predetermined position on the base plate 1, and overlapping and integrating the cover plate 2 with the base plate 1. The numbers "0" to "9" are encoded and expressed depending on the presence or absence of the reflective surface 15a of each sheet 3 exposed through the code window 11, and thereby,
For example, as shown in FIG.
The reflective surface 15b of the cover plate 2 is exposed, and the Arabic numerals 16 of each sheet 3 are exposed through the viewing window 12 of the cover plate 2, and the Arabic numerals 16 corresponding to the code numbers indicated through the code window 11 are exposed. "14285"
It is used by attaching it to the item in this state.

The encoded code number displayed on this display device is exposed from the code window 11 in synchronization with the reflective surface 15b exposed from the synchronization window 10 by optical means. It can be read by detecting the presence or absence of the reflective surface 15a, and thereby the destination, type, etc. of the item can be detected.

At this time, the reflective surface 15a for the code is exposed in a state bordered by the code window 11, so even if the sheet 3 is affixed in a misaligned or slanted position, the code window 11, the display by the sign reflecting surface 15a is corrected to a predetermined size, position, and direction. Therefore, the display is not misread, and the pasting work of the sheet 3 is also improved. It can be rough and easy to work with.

In addition, since this display device represents the code number using Arabic numerals 16, even if the optical reading means fails, the operator can read the code number, thereby preventing problems. Even in the event of a problem, it can be dealt with quickly and contribute to productivity.

Moreover, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 each show other examples of sheets, and each of these sheets 31, 32
This further advances the common use, and while the above-mentioned seat 3 changes the direction only in the vertical direction, it also utilizes the horizontal direction. When using the sheets 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 6 and FIG.
It is necessary to polymerize the ends of 1 and 32.

Note that if each sheet 3, 31, 32 can be positioned using the base plate 1 and cover plate 2, thereby eliminating the need for pasting these, the sheets 3, 31, 32 can be reused.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, in the display device of the present invention, the display on the sheet is exposed in a state surrounded by a small window hole, so even if the sheet is shifted or placed at an angle, the window hole will still be visible. The display is corrected to a predetermined size, position, and direction, so that the coded numbers represented by the display will not be misread, and the sheet placement process will be easier. The sheets can be relatively rough, and the sheets have visual numbers in addition to coded numbers, which prevents mistakes in sheet placement and improves workability. Only 4 to 8 types of sheets can be used instead of 10 types of numbers, which reduces costs.
