Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display device for displaying trademark images and / or threaded bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] In today's footwear manufacturing industry, most manufacturers adopt an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) production model, producing the same or similar styles of shoes for different brands. Typically, a specific trademark is placed on the shoe for later sales, but different brands or customized needs place diverse requirements on trademark placement, increasing the complexity of the production process and consequently raising OEM manufacturing costs.

[0003] Currently, there are various ways to present trademarks on shoes, such as embroidery, heat transfer printing, embossing, or adhesive bonding. However, these technologies require specific processes for different trademark designs, which means that the production line needs to be adjusted when branding the same shoe model. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also reduces production efficiency. Furthermore, these traditional methods are particularly costly for handling small-batch orders or customized needs.

[0004] On the other hand, with increasing environmental awareness, the recycling and reuse of PET bottles has received widespread attention. However, current recycling systems mainly target PET bottle bodies, while PP bottle caps are often not effectively recycled and reused. This results in a large number of PET bottle caps being discarded after use, failing to fully realize their recycling value and burdening the environment.

[0005] Against this backdrop, developing an innovative device that combines text and / or graphic display with the reuse of PET bottle caps has become an urgent priority. Summary of the Invention

[0020] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 10 The embodiments are described below.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 The image shows a first embodiment of the graphic and / or threaded bottle cap display device of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the display device mainly includes a display base 10, an adapter 20, and a limiting piece 40, for displaying trademark text or patterns on a graphic cap 30.

[0022] like Figure 1 The display stand 10 has a base plate 11, on the surface of which an assembly groove 12 is integrally formed. The assembly groove 12 has opposing inner and outer wall surfaces; an external thread 14 is formed on the outer wall surface. Both the inner and outer wall surfaces of the assembly groove 12 of the display stand 10 are circular cross-section grooves. A limiting hole 15 is provided in the center of the base plate 11. The adapter 20 has a base 21, on the center of which a central post 22 protrudes. The end of the central post 22 is formed into a snap-fit ​​part 24. The central post 22 tapers near its end to form a ring neck 23 adjacent to the snap-fit ​​part 24. A through hole 41 is provided in the center of the limiting piece 40.

[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 The central post 22 of the adapter 20 passes sequentially through the through hole 41 of the limiting piece 40 and the limiting hole 15 of the display base 10; therefore, the display base 10 and the adapter 20 are inserted into the assembly groove 12 through the snap-fit ​​part 24 and are mutually locked and fixed to each other on the bottom surface 121 of the assembly groove 12, so that the limiting piece 40 is clamped between the display base 10 and the adapter 20; Figure 3 The display stand 10 has its maximum outer diameter at its base plate 11, and the adapter 20 has its maximum outer diameter at its base 21. The outer diameter of the limiting piece 40 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the display stand 10 and the adapter 20, so that the display device is fixed to the surface of a soft substrate layer A of a product by sewing a stitch 60 along the periphery of the limiting piece 40. The base 21 of the adapter 20 is clamped and fixed between the limiting piece 40 and the soft substrate layer A, so that the display stand 10 can be fixed to the surface of the soft substrate layer A by the adapter 20 and the limiting piece 40.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the graphic cover 30 is installed in the assembly slot 12 of the display stand 10 to achieve the display effect. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 , Figure 3The graphic cover 30 is shaped into a round cover corresponding to the inner wall of the assembly groove 12. The graphic cover 30 has a display cover 31 and an annular wall 32 that is sealed around the periphery of the display cover 31. The graphic cover 30 is inserted into the assembly groove 12, and the annular wall 32 of the graphic cover 30 fits tightly with the inner wall of the assembly groove 12, so that the display cover 31 is exposed in the groove of the assembly groove 12, and the text and / or patterns formed on the outer surface of the display cover 31 are displayed.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the limiting hole 15 of the display stand 10 is sequentially formed with a large diameter portion 151, a constricted neck 153, and a small diameter portion 152 along the opening direction from the outside to the inside; the central post 22 of the adapter 20, which is assembled through the limiting hole 15, is formed with an annular plane 25 adjacent to the snap-fit ​​portion 24 and the annular neck 23. When the central post 22 passes through the limiting hole 15, the central post 22 is mainly accommodated in the large diameter portion 151, the annular neck 23 is accommodated in the constricted neck 153 and the small diameter portion 152, the snap-fit ​​portion 24 is accommodated in the assembly groove 12, and the annular plane 25 is in contact with the bottom surface of the assembly groove 12, thereby enhancing the bonding strength between the display stand 10 and the adapter 20 and effectively preventing the display stand 10 from detaching from the adapter 20.

[0026] In the first embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 As shown, the graphic cover 30 and the display base 10 can be assembled and positioned through a convex-concave fit, further ensuring the bonding strength between the graphic cover 30 and the display base 10. Specifically, the display base 10 may have a limiting groove 13 formed on its inner wall surface; the annular wall 32 of the graphic cover 30 may have a limiting rib 33 formed on its outer surface corresponding to the limiting groove 13 of the display base 10; when the graphic cover 30 is inserted into the assembly groove 12, the limiting rib 33 and the limiting groove 13 engage in a convex-concave fit, and the display cover 31 is exposed in the groove of the assembly groove 12. Furthermore, the convex-concave fit structure formed by the limiting groove and the limiting rib may be formed in opposite directions on the annular wall 32 of the graphic cover 30 and the inner wall surface of the assembly groove 12, respectively. Furthermore, the limiting groove 13 and the limiting rib 33 can be formed into a complete circular continuous annular concave-convex fit structure, or into a concave-convex fit structure with intervals.

[0027] In the first embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the external thread 14 of the display stand 10 is used to lock a threaded bottle cap 50; the threaded bottle cap 50 is formed with a top sealing portion 51 and a side sealing portion 52, and the inner surface of the side sealing portion 52 is provided with an internal thread 53 corresponding to the external thread 14 of the display stand 10; the threaded bottle cap 50 is screwed into the external thread 14 of the display stand 10 through the internal thread 53.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the threaded bottle cap 50 is preferably a PET bottle cap, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the maximum outer diameter (including the thickness of the external thread 14) of the assembly groove 12 of the display base 10 is approximately 28 millimeters (mm), and the external thread 14 on the outer wall of the assembly groove 12 can be a single-turn thread (360°), a 1.5-turn thread (540°), or a 2-turn thread (720°).

[0029] like Figure 7 The diagram illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention and / or the threaded bottle cap display device. The main difference between the second and first embodiments is that the display base 10 is not mounted via an adapter 20, but rather the display base 10 itself is bonded to the surface layer A of the flexible substrate. In the second embodiment, the display base 10 has a base plate portion 11, and an assembly groove 12 is integrally formed on the surface of the base plate portion 11. The assembly groove 12 has opposing inner and outer wall surfaces. An external thread 14 is formed on the outer wall surface. The outer wall surface of the assembly groove 12 of the display base 10 is a groove with a circular cross-section. The base plate portion 11 is formed as a circular plate with the same center as the assembly groove 12, and the outer diameter of the base plate portion 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the assembly groove 12. The display base 10 is then mounted and fixed to the surface of the product via the base plate portion 11.

[0030] In the second embodiment, the base plate 11 can be directly adhered to the surface layer A of the flexible substrate using known technical means, or it can be sewn onto the surface layer A of the flexible substrate in conjunction with the limiting piece 40. Specifically, as Figure 7 The limiting piece 40 has a through hole 41 through which the assembly slot 12 passes; the display base 10 is positioned so that its assembly slot 12 passes through the through hole 41; for example... Figure 7 The display stand 10 has its maximum outer diameter at its base plate 11. The outer diameter of the limiting piece 40 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the display stand 10 and the adapter 20. The display device is fixed to the surface of a soft substrate layer A of a product by sewing a sewing thread 60 along the periphery of the limiting piece 40. The base plate 11 of the display stand 10 is clamped and fixed between the limiting piece 40 and the soft substrate layer A, so that the display stand 10 can be directly fixed to the surface of the soft substrate layer A through the limiting piece 40.

[0031] like Figures 8 to 10This illustrates various implementations of the graphic and / or threaded bottle cap display device of the present invention applied to different products. The graphic and / or threaded bottle cap display device of the present invention can be applied to products having a soft substrate surface layer A, such as: a shoe body A1 (…). Figure 8 , Figure 9 ), backpack A2 ( Figure 10 (or clothing); the soft substrate surface layer A can be selected from materials such as fabric, leather, or soft plastic. Specifically, such as Figure 8 The display device B is sewn onto the shoe tongue A11; as shown Figure 9 The display device B is sewn onto the side A12 of the shoe; as shown. Figure 10 The display device B is sewn onto the front surface of the backpack A2. Therefore, the product's trademark text or image can be displayed by simply installing the graphic cap 30 into the assembly slot 12 of the display base 10, or the user can replace different PET bottle caps at any time according to personal preference to display a unique design on the product.

[0032] In summary, the "Graphic and / or Threaded Bottle Cap Display Device" provided by this invention aims to combine environmental protection, innovation, and practicality to offer personalized and differentiated design solutions for various products with soft substrate surfaces (such as shoes, backpacks, and clothing). This display device cleverly utilizes discarded threaded bottle caps, combined with replaceable trademarks, text, or patterns, not only giving waste a second life and achieving environmental benefits, but also adding fun to use with its flexible display function, meeting consumers' demand for personalized products. The device has a simple design, supports various fixing processes (such as bonding, ultrasonic welding, sewing, etc.), and can be firmly installed on the product surface, with a stable structure that is not easily detached. The modular design further enhances ease of use, allowing users to easily replace the display caps or threaded bottle caps to showcase diverse design styles at any time.

[0033] Furthermore, the device's size and structural design are compatible with various threaded bottle cap sizes (such as PET bottle caps) and adaptable to flexible substrates of different materials such as fabrics, leather, and soft plastics, making it widely applicable.
