Description

Container with image output function {RECEPTACLE DISPALYING IMAGE}

The present invention relates to a container having an image output function having a function of displaying the image to the outside when the user's gripping, or conductive material is contained.

Generally, containers, such as cups, bowls, cans, and baskets, have a main purpose of storing food, fluids, and objects.

Containers such as cups, bowls, baskets, etc., which perform such a storing function, are used in all homes, and the ratio of exposure to the general public is higher than that of commercial media. That is, in the case of advertising using the containers used in everyday life, the cost of the advertisement is significantly reduced, but the effect is very high.

In the prior art, various advertising methods using such a container have been proposed. For example, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-209493 sets an advertisement area for advertising other food products or products in addition to an area for displaying food items contained in containers containing food items, and performs line advertisements and short advertisements. "Container with Advertisement Function" configured to be disclosed.

However, the advertising method applied to the containers of the prior art described above has a very static characteristic by printing and displaying simple advertisement letters or images on the surface, so that the effect of attention is not so small that the effect of advertisement is not so great. Has

As a countermeasure to solve this problem, the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-248408 to the user's curiosity to increase the advertising effect is formed on the outer side of the paper cup is printed with ink that reacts with temperature "Paper Cups That Change Patterns or Colors at Constant Temperatures" are disclosed.

However, the Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-248408, "Paper cups that change the pattern or color at a certain temperature" is also a certain image is output according to the temperature change, but the change in the image does not have any difference in the point of static advertising effect There is a problem that is difficult to expect the increase of.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and configured to output an image that is dynamically changed on the surface of the container, the output of the image is stored in the container or carried out by the user's grip It is an object of the present invention to provide a container having an image output function for performing advertisements using the container, as well as expressing various effects in the use of the container.

A container having an image output function of the present invention for achieving the above object includes a body portion for storing food, objects and the like; An image output unit formed on the body portion; A battery unit supplying power to the image output unit; A conductive part for supplying the power of the battery part to the image output part by short-circuiting the conductive material or the user's skin as a conductive medium when the conductive part is stored in the body part or the user grips the body part; When the energization unit is energized, the image output unit is driven to output an image and when the material contained in the body is emptied or when the user releases the body unit, the energization unit becomes an open circuit and stops the output of the image output unit. do.

In the above-described configuration, the image output unit and the body portion to which the battery unit is attached are provided with a socket-type connection terminal having a socket so that the pin-type connection terminal of the battery unit and the image output unit can be inserted therein, and the socket-type connection terminal has a wire It may be configured to be connected to the energizing unit by various conduction methods such as. In order to enable the battery unit and the image output unit to be electrically connected to the energizing unit, the battery unit and the image output unit are formed with a pin type connection terminal inserted into the socket type connection terminal. This configuration allows the battery and the image output to be detachable from the recess.

When the body portion is formed of an opaque material rather than a transparent material, the image output part is provided with a transparent part that is mounted inside to display an image.

The transparent part has a concave portion formed from a surface of the body portion so that the image output portion and the battery portion are seated. After the image output part and the battery part are seated on the bottom of the concave part, a transparent plate such as glass or acrylic is attached to the inlet of the concave part formed in the body part, or the transparent part is formed by applying an epoxy resin to the entire concave part. The battery and the image output unit are sealed to the outside. At this time, the concave portion may be provided with the socket-type connection terminal as described above.
