The figure which shows the specific example of the display member of the signboard of this invention. The figure which shows the specific example of the display member of the signboard of this invention.

The signboard of the present invention includes a foldable frame and an integral sheet stretched to cover the frame. The signboard of the present invention has two forms: an assembled form and a folded form. The signboard of the present invention has a bottom part and three or more side parts in the assembled form, and can be used as a signboard. Moreover, the signboard of the present invention can be easily carried in the folded form.

The skeleton is the skeleton of the sign placed at the bottom of the sign and the peripheral edge of each side. In the framework, two surfaces may share one framework at a boundary portion between two surfaces such as a boundary portion between the bottom portion and the side surface portion or a boundary portion between two adjacent side surface portions. Moreover, in the whole signboard, the framework may be connected or may be divided. The skeleton may be fixed to the sheet and configured integrally with the sheet.

The framework may be a foldable structure. Further, the framework can be a structure that can be folded while being integrated with the seat. The framework in the present invention may have any structure. For example, the skeleton has a structure that can be easily folded and assembled by a single operator. In addition, the framework in the present invention can be of a size and weight that can be easily carried by one operator when folded.

In the signboard of the present invention, the skeleton may have flexibility (or elasticity), and the skeleton and the sheet may be folded by being elastically deformed integrally. If it is such a signboard, it can be assembled with almost one touch from the state of being elastically deformed and folded with almost no force.

For example, if the framework is flexible, the billboard can be folded in half by pushing one or several side frames into the inside of the billboard. In addition, for example, the side portions can be folded so as to overlap each other to have a size corresponding to one side portion. Furthermore, by folding the top apex of the folded signboard to the bottom side and rounding it inward, and overlapping the left and right frames rounded in a circle, they can be folded further smaller.

In this specification, “flexibility” refers to the property of being flexible and flexing when a force is applied.

The material used for the framework can be any material that is normally used as the framework of a structure, such as steel, synthetic resin, and alloy. In addition, the material used for the framework can be any material that allows the framework to be flexible. For example, the skeleton can be a thin steel material having a width of about 0.5-1 cm and a thickness of about 0.5-3 mm. The material used for the framework may be a natural material such as bamboo. Further, as shown in the upper left of FIG. 1, the framework may be configured together with the sheet material so that the four steel materials each have an arch shape.

The sheet is an integral sheet that covers the entire surface of the framework, that is, the bottom and each side part. The sheet only needs to cover the skeleton integrally, and may have a seam or a seam in the middle. The sheet may cover the entire skeleton. When the signboard is in the assembled form, the sheet is tightly spread by the tension of the skeleton. When the signboard is assembled, tension is applied to the sheet, so that the structure becomes stronger. As the material of the sheet, a material that is excellent in tensile strength and can be folded together with the framework can be used. Although a sheet | seat is not specifically limited, For example, synthetic fiber sheets, such as nylon, tetron, and polyester, and other arbitrary cloth materials etc. can be used.

The bottom part is an area formed between the lower ends of the side parts, and is a part in contact with the installation surface such as the ground or the floor when the signboard is installed. The bottom part is comprised by the frame | skeleton arrange | positioned at the peripheral part of the bottom part, and the sheet | seat stretched on this frame | skeleton.

An opening may be provided in the sheet stretched on the bottom. The opening may be, for example, a hole formed in the sheet or a cut line. By providing the opening, even when the sheets are stuck to each other due to static electricity when assembled from a folded state, the sheets can be easily separated by accessing the inside from the opening. . The size of the opening may be the same as the size of the bottom or may be smaller than the size of the bottom. When the opening is smaller than the size of the bottom, a weight or luggage for supporting the signboard can be placed on a cloth stretched on a portion other than the opening at the bottom.

The side part is a part located on the side of the signboard in the assembled form. The side surface portion is composed of a frame arranged at the peripheral edge of the side surface portion and a sheet stretched on the frame. Each side part is located side by side so as to surround the periphery of the signboard. The size and shape of each side part may be the same or different. The number of side portions of the signboard of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is 3 or more, but is preferably 3 to 8, more preferably 3 to 6, and most preferably 4. The signboard of the present invention may have, for example, four side portions on four sides.

Also, an opening such as a hole or a cut may be provided below the sheet stretched on at least one of the side surfaces. By providing the opening on the side surface, a weight or the like can be easily placed inside.

The signboard of the present invention may further include an upper surface portion formed between the upper end portions of the side surface portions. Moreover, the signboard of this invention may not have an upper surface part, but the upper part may be covered by the upper end part of each side part.

In the signboard of the present invention, a display unit is provided on the surface of a sheet stretched on at least one of the side surfaces. The display unit is an area for displaying information for guidance or advertising. The information for guidance is information for guiding the viewer to an appropriate place, for example, specifically, a route to the destination or an arrow indicating the direction of the destination. The information for guidance may be information for so-called triage in which, for example, in an emergency such as a disaster, the information is guided to an appropriate accommodation location according to the severity of the injured person. The information for advertisement is, for example, an advertisement.

The display unit may be the surface of the sheet itself, and information for guidance or advertisement may be directly printed on the surface of the sheet. In the display unit, a display member on which information for guidance or advertisement is displayed may be attached to the surface of the sheet. The display member can be, for example, an arbitrary cloth, and can be the same material as the sheet or a different material.

Further, the display unit may be detachably mountable with a display member on which information for guidance or advertisement is displayed. For example, the display portion and the display member may be provided with a hook-and-loop fastener so that they can be detachably attached to each other. As the surface fastener, for example, Velcro (registered trademark), Velcro (registered trademark), or the like can be used. In addition, the display unit is not limited thereto, and the display member may be detachably attached by any means. For example, in the signboard of the present invention, the display member on which information for guidance or promotion is displayed may be detachably provided so as to surround the side surface portion. As a result, information for guidance or promotion is displayed on the surface of the sheet stretched on at least one of the side surfaces. Surrounding the side surface means surrounding all the side surface portions while covering the surface of each side surface portion. The display member may cover at least part of the surface of each side surface part, or may cover the entire surface. The display member may have any shape such as a belt shape or a ring shape. For example, the display member may be annularly wound around the side surface portion. The place where the display member is wound may be any of the upper part, the middle part, the lower part and the entire surface of the side part. When the display member has a belt-like shape, the display member may be configured to be annular by connecting both ends after being wound around the side surface portion. Further, the display member may have a cap shape, and may be configured to cover the upper part of each side part or the entire side part by being covered from the upper part of the side part. The display member is not limited to these, and may have any shape that can surround the side surface portion. There may be one or a plurality of display members provided on the signboard. For example, the display member may be a combination of a plurality of strip-shaped or annular display members, a combination of a plurality of cap-shaped display members, or a combination of a strip-shaped or annular display member and a cap-shaped display member. .

The display unit may be capable of attaching one display member, or may be capable of attaching a plurality of display members at the same time. In the case where the display unit can be detachably attached to the display unit, the framework and sheet of the signboard can be left as they are, and only the display member can be replaced and used for different purposes. Therefore, for example, when the information to be displayed changes while being used as a signboard, it can be easily and quickly replaced with a display member that displays appropriate information.

The display member may have a structure that can be folded together with the signboard. The display member can be, for example, a sheet such as an arbitrary cloth, and can be the same material as the sheet constituting the sign or a different material. In addition, the display member may be configured by a flexible framework like a signboard and a sheet stretched on the framework, for example. The display member may have a structure that cannot be folded together with the signboard. In this case, the display member is installed after the signboard is assembled, and is removed before the signboard is folded.

When the display member is detachable, the signboard of the present invention can be used for different purposes by replacing only the display member without changing the framework and sheet of the signboard. Therefore, for example, when the information to be displayed changes while being used as a signboard, it can be easily and quickly replaced with a display member that displays appropriate information. In addition, since only the display member needs to be replaced while keeping the framework and sheet of the signboard, it is not necessary to remake the entire signboard, and costs can be reduced.

The display member may display information on the surface of one side part, may display information on two or more side parts, or may display information on all side parts. When the display member displays information on two or more side portions, the same information may be displayed on each side portion, or different information may be displayed on each side portion. When the display member displays information on all side surfaces, the information displayed on the signboard can be viewed from all directions of 360 degrees.

In the signboard of the present invention, a light source may be provided inside the bottom and side portions. The light source may be any lighting fixture, and may be an LED, for example. The light source may be detachably provided, may be installed after the sign is assembled, and may be removed when the sign is folded. By providing the light source, the sign can be brightly illuminated from the inside, so that the viewer can easily find the sign even from a distance.

The information displayed on the display member is not limited to characters and figures, but may be any color painted on a part or the entire surface of the display member, for example. For example, a signboard provided with a display member painted in a specific color can be used as a signboard for indicating a meeting place of a specific group corresponding to the specific color. Since such a signboard is easy to see even from a distance, the viewer can quickly find the target location.

In the signboard of the present invention, the height from the bottom to the top of the side surface is not particularly limited, but may be 150 cm or more. At this height, the viewer can easily find the signboard even from a distance. The height from the bottom to the top of the side surface is not particularly limited, but may be 200 cm or less. If it is this height, it can be easily folded by one worker.

The signboard of the present invention can be used with a weight placed inside, for example, on the inner surface of a sheet stretched on the bottom. Thereby, even when the weight of a signboard is light, it can fix to the place to install.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a signboard according to the present invention.

The signboard 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a skeleton 11 and a cloth 12. A signboard 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an assembled form, and includes a bottom portion 13, four side surface portions 14 having the same shape in the front and rear, and right and left, and an upper surface portion 15, respectively. The skeleton 11 is made of a thin steel material having a width of about 1 cm and a thickness of several millimeters, and has flexibility. Since the sign 1 uses such a thin steel material and is light, it can be easily carried by a single operator when folded.

As shown in the left side of FIG. 1, the skeleton 11 is arranged at the peripheral edge of each of the four side surfaces 14. The peripheral edge portion of the side surface portion 14 of the signboard 1 shown on the right in FIG. 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape by sewing the edges along the peripheral edge portion. By passing the framework 11 through the cylindrical portion, the framework 11 can be arranged in an arch shape on the peripheral edge portion of the side surface portion 14. The bottom portion 13, the side surface portions 14, and the top surface portion 15 are covered with an integral cloth 12. The integral cloth 12 is integrated by sewing the edges of each surface. In the framework 11 housed in the cylindrical peripheral portions of the front and rear side surface portions 14, the steel material is bent in an arch shape, and the covered cloth 12 is pulled. Thus, since the covered integral cloth 12 is pulled, the strength of the signboard 1 can be increased.

The bottom portion 13 is a rectangle, and each side of the bottom portion 13 shares a side with each of the four side surface portions 14. A hole 17 is formed in the bottom 13 as an opening. In this way, since the holes 17 are formed, even when the cloths 12 are stuck to each other due to static electricity when assembled from the folded state, the cloths 12 can be easily accessed by accessing the inside from the holes 17. Can be separated. Further, since the hole 17 is smaller than the size of the bottom portion 13, a cloth 12 is stretched on a portion other than the hole 17, and a weight, a luggage, or the like can be placed on the cloth 12.
