【Example】

(First Embodiment) Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a display device for displaying a healthy ball according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 (a perspective view showing the entire display device of FIG. 1).
The receiving tray 20 has a concave inner surface 22 that can hold a healthy ball 50, which is an exhibit such as a sphere, at a predetermined angle or less so as to roll freely and not to spill out. When a healthy ball 50 rolls and collides with a resilient portion that forms a concave inner surface 22, an elastic portion that cushions the impact can be formed on the peripheral inner surface portion 23 to suppress generation of sound due to the collision. It is possible to prevent the sound of the original sound of the healthy ball 50 from becoming difficult to hear.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a central axis of the tray, which extends downward from the center 20a of the lower surface of the tray 20 and is provided so as to coincide with the axis of the tray 20 in this embodiment. In order to make the movement of the tray 20 more complicated, the center axis 24 of the tray and the axis of the tray 20 do not necessarily need to coincide with each other. The central axis 24 may be eccentrically or inclined with respect to the axis of the tray 20 as appropriate. Further, the center axis 24 of the saucer is not limited to the rod-shaped shaft having the same diameter over the entire length as in the present embodiment.
Of course, it can be provided in a configuration that satisfies conditions such as strength and retaining prevention (not shown).

Reference numeral 10 denotes a main body, which has a support plate 12 which supports the tray 20 from below and has a through hole 15 through which a central axis 24 of the tray is inserted. The tray 20 is positioned at a predetermined height. And to incorporate a drive mechanism described later,
A frame-like skeleton 16 is provided. At the time of actual exhibition, a decorative plate may be attached to the outside of the frame-shaped skeleton, and the outer surface may be used as a sign plate for performing various signs.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a fixed bearing, which is fixed to the main body 10 and has a central shaft 24 of a tray inserted into the through hole 15 of the support plate.
At the middle portion 24a of the center axis 24 of the tray. Further, the fixed bearing 18 can use a spherical bearing specifically, is a universal joint type bearing as described above, and rotatably supports the center shaft 24 of the tray. Accordingly, the pan 20 can rotate around the central axis of the pan.

Reference numeral 30 denotes a slewing bearing, which is disposed below the fixed bearing 18 and is orthogonal to the support plate 12 of the main body.
About the axis L passing through the approximate center of the axis. In addition, the swing bearing 30 receives the center axis 24 of the pan at the tip end 24b of the center axis 24 of the pan so as to be tiltable. Further, the slewing bearing 30 can use a spherical bearing specifically, is a universal joint type bearing as described above, and rotatably supports the center shaft 24 of the tray. Therefore, the pan 20 can rotate around the center axis 24 of the pan by the swing bearing 30 and the fixed bearing 18.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a motor, and reference numeral 34 denotes an arm piece. One end of the arm piece 34 has an output rotary shaft 3 of the motor 32.
The pivot bearing 30 is fixed to the other end, and is provided so as to pivot. That is, this motor 3
A drive device for rotating the swing bearing 30 by the arm piece 34 and the arm piece 34 is configured. As the motor 32, an electric motor is generally used, but the driving device of the present invention is not particularly limited, for example, a pneumatic motor or a hydraulic motor can be used depending on mounting conditions.

Further, in the present embodiment, the inner surface 22 of the receiving tray 20 for receiving the exhibit is formed with irregularities. This is effective for causing the healthy ball 50 to perform more complicated exercise. That is, when the pan 32 is rotated by operating the motor 32,
Healthy ball 50 tends to roll only on the outer peripheral portion of saucer 20 due to centrifugal force. On the other hand, as described above, by providing the protrusion 26 (see FIG. 2) on the inner surface 22 of the saucer with which the healthy ball 50 comes into contact, it is possible to change the way the healthy ball 50 rolls. As a result, the occurrence of bell sounds changes,
The display effect of healthy balls can be enhanced. It should be noted that the healthy ball is to be enjoyed by rolling in the hand, and by forming the projection 26 in the shape of a hand, it is possible to convey an image of how to enjoy the ball.

The contact portion between the support plate 12 and the tray 20 may be made of a material having a large friction coefficient, for example, a material such as cork or rubber. Thereby, the exhibit can be suitably moved (rolled), and the rotation of the tray 20 can be suitably suppressed. Further, the contact portion between the support plate 12 and the tray 20 can be prevented from slipping even with a gear such as a rack. Can be set to

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described peripheral inner surface portion 23.
When the healthy ball 50 of the saucer 20 is covered with a resilient sponge or the like in order to suppress the generation of sound due to the contact, the contact sound is suppressed and the healthy ball rolls and moves. Sound (bell sound) can be heard more easily. If the rotation speed of the motor 32 is too fast, the healthy ball 50
0 When the motor 32 stays in the outer peripheral portion and cannot roll down the inclined surface on the pan 20 and the rotation of the motor 32 is too slow, the healthy ball 50 cannot continuously roll and generate sound. A fractional rotation to several tens of rotations are appropriate.

(Second Embodiment) A display apparatus for displaying a healthy ball according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a main part of the display apparatus of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a side view showing a main part of the display apparatus of the second embodiment. Upper roller 60 and first lower roller 62 positioned lower than upper roller 60
The second lower roller 64 is rotatably disposed on a disk-shaped turntable 70, and the tray 20 is placed on the three rollers. The tray 20 is supported by the three rollers in a state of being inclined at three points. ing.

A rotating shaft 2 is provided at the center of the back of the pan 20.
5 is fixedly provided. The rotating shaft 25 is connected to the first motor 7 via a universal joint 74 by a through hole 72 provided at the center of the turntable 70.
6 output shaft 76a. Therefore, the saucer 20
Can rotate by the driving force of the first motor 76 in an inclined state. Thereby, the healthy ball 50 rotates on the spot.

The upper roller 60 and the first lower roller 6
2. A turntable 70 on which a second lower roller 64 is rotatably mounted is rotatably provided on a support disk 80, and an outer peripheral side surface of the turntable 70 is rotationally driven by a second motor 82 for transmission. It is in contact with the friction wheel 84. Therefore, the turntable 70 is rotated about the axis by the second motor 86. When the turntable 70 is rotated, the lowermost portion of the tray 20 is in a state of sequentially rotating around the outer periphery of the tray 20 and moving. Thereby, the healthy ball 50 rolls around the outer periphery of the tray 20. By combining the above two movements, for example, by reversing the rotation directions, the healthy ball 50 rotates faster and can continuously generate a bell sound. Note that one of the above operations can be used alone.

As described above, according to the display apparatus of the present embodiment, since the healthy ball can be rolled appropriately, the characteristic of generating a bell sound by moving the healthy ball so as to roll is described manually. And it is not necessary to perform a demonstration, and it is possible to exhibit it continuously and suitably. Also,
A device for generating sound may be provided in addition to the above devices. Speaking of the healthy ball, the sound recording may be performed by sounding the sound of the healthy ball in accordance with the movement of the healthy ball exercised by the display device. Also, the sound generator has I
Of course, the voice generated by C can be used. It is needless to say that the present invention can be suitably used for displaying not only a healthy ball but also other spherical or granular articles. As described above, the present invention has been described in various ways with reference to preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
Of course, many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0021]

According to the display device of the present invention, the pan is controlled to rotate and pivoted while maintaining a constant inclination angle about the axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane or the reference plane. The exhibit can be rolled in the pan. That is, unlike simple rotation, the centrifugal force is less likely to act, and the tilt direction can be sequentially moved. Therefore, the exhibit can be rolled and moved in a complicated manner, and the merchandise can be made to stand out favorably to the consumer.
