Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a display device in which a large number of vertically suspended display boards can be circulated and displayed in sequence.

Such a display device has already been proposed by the applicant, and in order to better understand the present invention, an overview of the previously proposed display device will first be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the display device is constructed entirely of a box indicated by 1, and a window hole 2 is formed in the front surface of the box. Four sprockets 3, 4, 5, and 6 are provided on each side of this box 1 (only one side is shown in FIG. 2), and a chain 7 is stretched across these sprockets in a rectangular manner. There is. This chain 7 is provided with a grip part 10 for gripping the end of a bar 9 supporting a large number of display boards 8. Further, a bar guide path 11 is provided from just below the upper rear sprocket to the front, and in front of this guide path 11, a bar delivery vehicle 13 having a plurality of bar engaging portions 12 is provided. In the figure, 14 is a motor for driving the chain 7, 15 is a switch, and 16 is an electric sound generator, which is used to explain the display panel 8, for example.

When the motor 14 is driven during operation, the chain 7
moves in the direction of the arrow, and the gripping section 10 moves in the direction of the arrow.
3 to rotate the bar material delivery vehicle 13, and the bar 9 of the display board 8, which had been displayed through the window hole 2, is gripped by the grip part 10 and moved downward. At that time, the next display board will be visible from the window. The display board 8 gripped by the gripper 10 moves from the bottom to the right and then to the top in FIG. 2, and is sent to the right side of the bar guiding path 11.

By repeating this operation, a large number of display boards can be sequentially displayed from the window, making it extremely suitable as a display device.

However, in such a display device, since the display plate 8 circulates within the box 1, a long vertical space is required, resulting in a long structure. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 27-370 discloses a system in which continuous display curtains are circulated in sequence, and since they are continuous, there is no need to provide a display section at the top and a circulation space at the bottom. However, in the case of continuous display curtains, when replacing some of the displays, all of them must be replaced. For this reason, it is extremely convenient to circulate a large number of display panels in sequence, as they can be replaced one by one. However, as described above, a display device that circulates through a large number of suspended display panels inevitably has the disadvantage that the overall structure becomes large.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device in which a large number of vertically suspended display boards are circulated and displayed in sequence, and the vertical length of the box at the bottom of the window hole can be shortened.

According to the present invention, in a display device in which a large number of vertically suspended display boards can be circulated and displayed in sequence, and has a display section at the top and a space for the circulation section at the bottom, the display board is made of a bendable member. The box is configured such that the vertical dimension B of the lower circulation section space is smaller than the vertical dimension A of the display section, and the display board is bent when moving through the lower circulation section space. .

Therefore, the display board circulates downward from the display position facing the window hole, but at this time, because the vertical length of the bottom box is short, the bottom of the display board collides with the bottom plate of the box, but the display board does not move. Because it is bendable, it curves in a rounded shape, which prevents the hanging rod from coming off. Therefore, the entire box can be made more compact by taking advantage of the inherent advantages of the hanging type. Furthermore, since the display board itself is bendable, there is less damage.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
Components corresponding to the figures and FIG. 2 are labeled with the same reference numerals. That is, in FIG. 3, a box 1 has a display window 2 on its front surface, and a chain 7 extending over sprockets 3, 4, 5, and 6 holds a bar 9 from which a display board 8 is suspended. A gripping part 10 is attached, and a bar guiding path 11 is provided. The height B of the space below the sprockets 4 and 6 below the box 1 is shorter than the length A of the upper display panel 8, and is, for example, about 1/2 of the length of the display panel. When the vertical length of the box is formed as described above, in the conventional example, the lower end of the display plate 8 is located at the bottom of the box bottom plate 1.
The bar 9 at the upper end of the display board 8 collides with the grip part 10.
There is a risk that it will come off. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the inclined plate 17 is positioned approximately 30 degrees from the end of the box bottom plate 1a.

With the above configuration, the display plate 8 is guided by the inclined plate 17 and quickly curved in the circulation space at the bottom of the box, bent into a rounded shape, and the bar 9 is moved to the grip part 1.
It never deviates from 0.

In this embodiment, a guide rod 19 is further arranged inside the chain 7 along the chain. This guide rod 19 is provided to prevent the bar 9 held within the gripping portion 10 from coming off during transportation. Therefore, even if the inclined plate 17 is not provided, the bar will not fall off from the gripping part 10.

In this embodiment, a rear window hole 18 is also provided on the opposite side of the box 1 from the window hole 2 side, almost symmetrically with the window hole 2, and by providing this rear window hole 18, the display board can be viewed from both sides. In this case, it goes without saying that characters and pictures are also drawn on the back side of the display board 8.

As described above, the present invention makes the entire display device compact by forming the vertical dimension B of the circulation space at the bottom of the box smaller than the vertical dimension A of the display section in the box constituting the display device. This not only saves vertical space, but also allows for smoother circulation of the display board, making it possible to display information in two directions.
