The tool is convenient when used in open areas, including at high altitudes, and also provides additional aesthetic appeal and entertainment.

Description

The utility model relates to advertising and exhibition business, media for open spaces and can be used when holding mass entertainment events, advertising campaigns, exhibitions, as well as decorating stage venues of any cultural and entertainment programs, for example, in theaters, concert halls, on television etc.

It is known to use gas-filled shells, balloons, balloons, as image carriers of advertising and informational nature [1]. The disadvantages of these devices in the demo information plan are the impossibility or complexity of changing the image during the event, the static image.

Known demo information tool, the closest to the declared purpose and functionality, containing an image forming device (projector) and a projection screen [2], which has higher demo information capabilities. The disadvantages of this tool are the inconvenience of their use in open areas, if necessary, the presentation of the image at a high height, as well as the lack of additional attractiveness and entertainment, which is especially important when holding mass entertainment events, advertising campaigns, exhibitions, as well as the design of stage venues of any cultural and entertainment programs.

The purpose of the claimed utility model is to create a mobile demonstration and information tool with high demonstration and information capabilities with convenience

use in open areas, including at high altitude, with the achievement of additional aesthetic appeal and entertainment.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the proposed demonstration and information tool containing an image forming apparatus and a projection screen, in which the projection screen is made in the form of a closed shell filled with gas, and the image forming device is mechanically connected to the shell with the possibility of transmitting the image through the gas medium to the internal the surface of the shell, while the execution of the shell ensures its translucency in the image acquisition zone.

Moreover:

- depending on the specific constructive implementation of the image forming device can be placed on the outer surface of the shell, or inside the shell;

- the shell is made of at least two layers, an inner sealed transparent and an outer protective translucent;

- depending on the purpose and conditions of use, the shell may be filled with air or gas lighter than air;

- the shell in working condition may have the shape of a sphere, as the simplest form to perform;

- the shell in working condition may have a droplet shape, this form is economical in terms of material consumption and provides better image quality;

- a laser device or a video projector can be used as an image forming device;

- a mask of opaque material can be made on the shell, overlapping the projection zone and forming the dimensions and shape of the image zone with its transparent part, thereby expanding the possibilities of image representation.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, where:

Figure 1 - structural diagram of an example implementation of the demonstration and information tools;

Figure 2 is an example of the placement of the image forming apparatus;

Figure 3 is a diagram of a tool with a drop-shaped shell;

Figure 4 is an illustration of the projection area, image area using a mask.

According to a utility model, the demonstration and information tool comprises (Fig. 1) an image forming device 1 (a video projector or a laser device with horizontal and vertical scanning of a beam), a projection screen made in the form of a closed shell 2 filled with gas (in a specific example, gas is easier air, for example helium).

The imaging device is mechanically connected to the shell. In this example of a structural embodiment, the image forming apparatus 1 (FIG. 2) is attached to the outside of the shell by means of a flange 3 of the protective housing 4 and stretch marks 5. In other embodiments, the imaging device may be placed inside the shell on stretch marks. The imaging device through the optical window 6 in the shell and the gas medium 7 projects an image onto the inner surface of the shell. The translucency of the shell in the projection area of the image provides image visibility from the outside.

The shell is made of flexible material and can be of two layers: an internal transparent transparent 8 (for example, PVC) and an external protective translucent 9 (for example, nylon). This ensures the translucency of the shell in the image acquisition zone.

The shape of the shell in the working position can be various, for example in the form of a sphere, cylinder, cigar-shaped, droplet-like, etc.

The most preferred forms are spherical and droplet-like. The first is due to the simplicity of implementation and the smoothness of the technology, and the second is due to the economy of the shell material and higher image quality.

The imaging device using the communication cable 10 is connected to the service device and control module 11, which contains a power source, the necessary converting devices, information input devices and a control device. The nomenclature of service devices is determined by the purpose of the demonstration and information tool. The service device and control module 11 can be mechanically connected to the shell using cables 12 or is located on the ground.

With respect to land, the demo information tool is held by leash 13.

To expand the possibilities of presenting the image on the shell, a mask 14 is made of opaque material.

At the place of use, the shell is delivered folded. During installation using a leash, it is fixed relative to the ground, after which it is filled with gas (in this example, helium) and then the means are raised to the required height. Management of the operation of the tool can be carried out by cable or remotely by radio signal.

All elements of the demonstration-informational means can be made from materials and devices mastered by the industry.
