Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a self-supporting screen assembly, and more particularly, to a screen assembly capable of independently standing on the ground only by an assembled structure of a plurality of poles and a screen. Background Art

[0002] The support structure is arranged upright in front of an event venue or exhibition and serves as an advertising device having phrases, shapes, photos, etc. held thereon so that passers-by (viewers) can easily learn event details, product information, etc. Typically, a fabric, resin sheet, or other material containing an advertisement (such as a photo and text) is attached to a support on a base.

[0003] A typical support structure is configured to be arranged at a desired location by filling a base with sand, water, etc., and the height of a support frame for coupling the banner is adjustable, thereby allowing banners of various sizes to be accommodated.

[0004] However, when assembling the conventional bracket structure, a separate assembly tool is required to fasten each coupling component, and it must have a certain weight to prevent it from easily falling due to external forces such as wind, making it difficult to move and manipulate it. Summary of the invention

[0005] [Technical issues]

[0006] For example, the support structure described in Korean Patent No. 10-1414279 forms a support structure with a central component through a plurality of rods. However, since the central component is the center of gravity, the structure is prone to shifting the center of gravity under certain external forces when the support rods bear the entire weight.

[0007] Therefore, the bracket structure described in Korean Patent No. 10-1414279 is suitable for indoor use, but is difficult to use outdoors where external forces such as wind may act.

[0008] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a screen assembly that can stably stand independently on the ground only by an assembly structure of a plurality of rods and a screen.

[0009] [Technical solution]

[0010] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, a self-supporting screen assembly according to the present disclosure is provided. The self-supporting screen assembly may include: a plurality of front bars and a plurality of rear bars, each of which extends symmetrically from a central connector in the front-to-rear direction to form an X-shaped frame; a front screen member having corner portions respectively coupled to end portions of the plurality of front bars; a rear screen member having corner portions respectively coupled to end portions of the plurality of rear bars; and a plurality of connecting members, the plurality of connecting members connecting each end portion of the plurality of front bars to each end portion of the plurality of rear bars symmetrically corresponding thereto.

[0011] Furthermore, the front screen member and the rear screen member may each be arranged vertically with respect to the ground.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of front rods and a plurality of rear rods may be assembled and coupled to a plurality of rod insertion holes formed in the connector.

[0013] Furthermore, each corner portion of the front screen member and the rear screen member may have an eyelet formed therein, and a protrusion formed on each end portion of the rod may be inserted into each eyelet.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of each of the plurality of connection members in the front-rear direction may be adjustable, each of the plurality of connection members may include a front connection member and a rear connection member, and the front connection member and the rear connection member may be coupled and decoupled by snaps.

[0015] In addition, the self-supporting screen assembly of the present disclosure may further include additional connecting members, which are connected to points on the side edges of the front screen member and points on the side edges of the rear screen member at positions corresponding to points on the side edges of the front screen member and points on the side edges of the rear screen member, wherein the additional connecting members may include additional front connecting members and additional rear connecting members that can be connected and separated with snaps, and the additional connecting members can be fixed to the ground using ropes and fixing members.

[0016] Furthermore, the central connector may be formed as a single unit.

[0017] Furthermore, the central connector may be separated into a front connector and a rear connector, a plurality of front rods are assembled and coupled to the front connector, and a plurality of rear rods are assembled and coupled to the rear connector.

[0018] Furthermore, the front connector may include one of the male coupling portion or the female coupling portion, and the rear connector may include the other of the male coupling portion or the female coupling portion, and the male coupling portion and the female coupling portion may be assembled together and coupled.

[0019] In addition, the front connector and the rear connector may each include a central connecting hole at a position opposite to the male connecting part or the female connecting part, and the front connector and the rear connector may be supported and connected to each other by a central rod between the central connecting hole of the front connector and the central connecting hole of the rear connector.

[0020] In addition, the center coupling hole and the center rod may be threadedly coupled.

[0021] [Beneficial Effects]

[0022] With the self-supporting screen assembly of the present disclosure, since the screen member contacts the ground, stability can be provided for the independent standing of the screen assembly.

[0023] With the self-supporting screen assembly of the present disclosure, the rigidity of the entire screen assembly can be maintained only by the structure of the screen and the rod, and the tension of the screen surface can be adjusted according to the length of the connecting member.

[0035] Hereinafter, a self-supporting screen assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Before the description, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word “comprise” or “comprising” and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” will be understood to imply the inclusion of stated constituent elements but not the exclusion of any other constituent elements.

[0037] Furthermore, in various embodiments, generally in an embodiment, constituent elements having the same configuration will be described using the same reference numerals, and in other embodiments only different constituent elements will be described.

[0038] Furthermore, although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, they are described for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the technical spirit of the present disclosure and its configuration and application.

[0039] The self-supporting screen assembly 1 of the present disclosure will be described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Figure 1 A perspective view of a self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 2 A side view of a self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 4 Connection of end portions of a plurality of front bars 11 a and end portions of a plurality of rear bars 11 b with the connection members 30 in the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically illustrated.

[0041] like Figure 1, as shown in 2 and 4, the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a plurality of front rods 11a and a plurality of rear rods 11b, and the plurality of front rods 11a and the plurality of rear rods 11b extend symmetrically from the central connector 12 in the front-to-rear direction to form an X-shaped frame symmetrically arranged in the front-to-rear direction.

[0042] In addition, a corner portion of the front screen 20 a is coupled to an end portion of each of the plurality of front bars 11 a , and a corner portion of the rear screen 20 b is coupled to an end portion of each of the plurality of rear bars 11 b .

[0043] In addition, the plurality of connection members 30 connects the end portions of the plurality of front bars 11 a and the end portions of the plurality of rear bars 11 b symmetrically corresponding thereto.

[0044] Therefore, the self-supporting screen assembly 1 can be easily installed by simply assembling the corner portions of the front and rear screen members 20 a and 20 b respectively coupled to the end portions of the plurality of front and rear bars 11 a and 11 b with the connection members 30 .

[0045] Furthermore, since each of the plurality of front bars 11a and rear bars 11b of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is curved in an arc shape in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the screen members 20a, 20b are coupled, the plurality of front bars 11a and rear bars 11b can bring about a tension 20F that pulls the screen members 20a, 20b toward each corner portion by means of an elastic force 11F that attempts to return to the inside of the screen assembly 1. Thus, the screen members 20a and 20b can be kept taut.

[0046] Therefore, the front screen member 20a and the rear screen member 20b can each be arranged vertically relative to the ground. When the self-supporting screen assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is installed, a shape approximately equal to a rectangular parallelepiped can be formed, so that the screen assembly 1 can be arranged stably.

[0047] Figure 3 The coupling of a plurality of front bars 11a and a plurality of rear bars 11b from a central connector 12 to form a framework of a self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 5 It is schematically shown that the central connector 12 is separated into a front connector 12a and a rear connector 12b, which are coupled together in the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the plurality of front bars 11 a and the plurality of rear bars 11 b of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be connected and coupled to the plurality of bar insertion holes 121 a and 121 b formed in the center connector 12 by mating.

[0049] Meanwhile, the center connector 12 may be formed as a single unit, but it may also be divided into a front connector 12a for mating and connecting with a plurality of front rods 11a and a rear connector 12b for mating and connecting with a plurality of rear rods 11b, and then the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b are assembled together to form the center connector 12.

[0050] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the front connector 12a of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may have a male connecting portion 122a, and the rear connector 12b may have a female connecting portion 122b, thereby allowing these male connecting portions 122a and female connecting portions 122b to fit together and connect.

[0051] In addition, after the entire self-supporting screen assembly 1 is assembled by fitting and coupling the male coupling portion 122a and the female coupling portion 122b together, a force that pulls the front screen member 20a and the rear screen member 20b in an inward direction is applied due to the connecting member 30, which will be described below. Thus, the coupled male coupling portion 122a and the female coupling portion 122b are prevented from being separated.

[0052] Therefore, there are advantages in that the front and rear portions of the screen assembly 1 can be easily assembled independently, and the entire screen assembly 1 can be assembled simply by fitting the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b together.

[0053] Figure 4 Connection of end portions of a plurality of front bars 11 a and end portions of a plurality of rear bars 11 b to connection members in the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically illustrated. Fig. 9 Schematically illustrating coupling of the front screen member 20a and the rear screen member 20b to the end portions of the front bar 11a and the rear bar 11b, respectively, in the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] like Figure 4 and 9 As shown, the length of the connecting member 30 of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is adjustable in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, the length of the connecting member 30 can be adjusted to maintain the tension 20F at each corner portion of the screen member 20 depending on the elastic force 11F of the front and rear rods 11a and 11b.

[0055] Therefore, since the end portions of the front and rear bars are connected by the connecting member 30, additional forces that push the front and rear bars toward the screen member 20, respectively, can be applied, thereby allowing the screen member 20 to be kept more taut.

[0056] In addition, if Fig. 9As shown, by dividing each connection member 30 into a front connection member and a rear connection member, and coupling and separating the front connection member and the rear connection member with a coupling member such as a buckle 31, as described above, the front and rear parts of the screen assembly 1 can be assembled independently of each other. This provides the following advantages: the entire screen assembly 1 can be easily assembled simply by coupling the front connection member and the rear connection member together.

[0057] At the same time, if Fig. 9 As shown, by forming holes 211a at each corner portion of the front screen member 20a and the rear screen member 20b, and inserting the protrusions 13a formed at the end portions of the rods into the holes 21a of these holes 211a to couple the rods 11 and the screen members 20, it is possible to prevent the screen members 20a and 20b from being damaged due to repeated installation and removal.

[0058] In addition, if Fig. 9 As shown, since the protrusion 13a is formed with a step so that the diameter of the end portion of the protrusion is larger than the diameter of the inner side of the protrusion, it is possible to prevent the eyelet 211a from being accidentally detached from the protrusion 13a.

[0059] Figure 6 The connection of the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 through the center pole 14 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 7 It schematically shows that in a self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a central connector 12 is separated into a front connector 12a and a rear connector 12b, which are supported and connected to each other by a central pole 14.

[0060] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, by exchanging Figure 4 and 5 The positions of the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 further reduce the width of the self-supporting screen assembly 1.

[0061] Specifically, the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b may each further include a central coupling hole, which is located opposite to the male coupling portion 122a or the female coupling portion 122b formed thereon. The center rod 14 may be arranged between the central coupling hole of the front connector 12a and the central coupling hole of the rear connector 12b, thereby allowing the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b to be connected and supported to each other.

[0062] In addition, threaded portions 14a and 14b are formed at both ends of the center rod 14, and threaded portions 124a and 124b are formed at the inner surfaces of the center coupling holes in the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b. Thus, the center coupling holes of the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b can be threadedly coupled to the center rod 14, thereby allowing the user to easily couple the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b to the center rod 14.

[0063] That is to say, in order to further adjust the width of the screen assembly 1, Figure 1 A front connector 12a and a rear connector 12b are shown in FIG. Figure 4 and 7 Need to be positioned closer to the screen side. In this case, each of the plurality of front bars 11a and the plurality of rear bars 11b needs to maintain their bent state to maintain the tension of the screens 20a and 20b.

[0064] Therefore, since the plurality of front rods 11a and the plurality of rear rods 11b connected to the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b have forces tending to expand in opposite directions, the space between the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b needs to be connected and fixed with the center rod 14.

[0065] Figure 8 8A and 8B schematically illustrate an embodiment of a method of coupling the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b in the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure to adjust the width of the entire screen assembly 1.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 8B , in an embodiment where the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b are connected by the center rod 14 , the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b can be moved as far as possible in the screen direction, thereby significantly reducing the width of the screen assembly 1 .

[0067] For example, Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1A , when the center connector 12 is formed as a single unit, or when the front connector 12a and the rear connector 12b are assembled and connected using the male coupling portion 122a and the female coupling portion 122b, the width of the screen assembly 1 is set to 2L. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 8B , in an embodiment where the front connector 12 a and the rear connector 12 b are connected by the center rod 14 , the width of the screen assembly 1 can be reduced to about 1.1L.

[0068] Fig.10 10A and 10B are conceptual diagrams schematically showing the application of the self-supporting screen assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure as a golf ball screen.

[0069] As in Fig. 9As described in the description of , there is a movable gap space at the coupling position between the hole 21a of the eyelet 211a and the protrusion 13a of the end portion of the rod. Fig.10 As shown, when an impact such as from a golf ball is applied, the impact can be mitigated by the aforementioned gap space.

[0070] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, even if an impact is applied to the screen member 20, the elastic force of the rod 11 itself is used to absorb the impact. At the same time, when the connecting member 30 made of a material such as a webbing is used, the screen member 20 can move in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the golf ball does not rebound in the opposite direction, but falls downward.

[0071] Although not specifically shown in the drawings, as described above, due to the tension pulling each corner portion of the screen member 20 outward, no wrinkles or other deformations are formed on the screen member. Therefore, for example, the screen assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be used as an outdoor screen used in an outdoor environment.

[0072] In addition, when a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped-form screen assemblies 1 are arranged using a simple installation method, the size of the screen member 20 can be expanded as needed, thereby allowing it to be used as a large screen for a large outdoor stage.

[0073] Fig.11 The arrangement of the additional supporting structure in the self-supporting screen assembly according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0074] like Fig.11 As shown, an additional supporting structure may be provided on the screen assembly 1 to further ensure the self-supporting capability of the screen assembly 1 .

[0075] Specifically, by arranging additional connection members 40 at points on the side edges of the screen members 20, similar to the aforementioned connection members 30, the front screen member 20a and the rear screen member 20b can be further connected. When the additional connection members 40 are fixed to the ground using ropes 42 and fixing members 43 (e.g., bolts), additional self-supporting stability of the screen assembly 1 can be ensured in an outdoor environment where wind and other factors have a greater influence.

[0076] In addition, if Fig.11 The additional connecting member 40 can also be separated into an additional front connecting member and an additional rear connecting member, and these can be connected and separated using an additional buckle 41.

[0077] Those skilled in the art can understand that, without changing the technical spirit or basic features of the present disclosure, the present disclosure can be implemented in other specific forms with reference to the above description.

[0078] Therefore, it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and are not intended to limit the present disclosure to the embodiments, and the scope of the present disclosure is represented by the patent claims cited hereinafter rather than by the foregoing detailed description, and the meaning and scope of the patent claims and all modifications or changes derived from equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present disclosure.
