Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a signboard decoration and a signboard decoration method that can be detachably attached to an existing signboard, and more particularly to a signboard decoration and a signboard decoration method that can be used in a variety of ways depending on the usage scene, such as the purpose, budget, or installation environment. [Background technology]

[0002] For store advertising, portable, freestanding stand signs or standing signs are used that display the store name, product or service name, menu, etc. These signs come in illuminated and non-illuminated types, and are generally rectangular or rectangular in plan view.

[0003] One of the purposes and effects of installing signs is to attract customers or to increase attention, so various kinds of signs that are designed to catch people's attention have appeared.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a standing signboard in which side panels are connected to both edge sides of a front panel, and both side panels are bent backwards by the tensile force of an elastic string-like member, with their inward bending being regulated by a back panel that rises rearward from the front panel, in which both ends of the string-like member are connected to each side panel, and the connecting parts are spaced away from the base ends of the side panels and positioned lower than the base end of the back panel, so that when both side panels and the back panel are laid down and flat, the string-like member passes from the rear of the side panels to the front of the front panel, and as the side panels are bent rearward, the back panel is pushed up by the string-like member.

[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses a lucky beckoning cat signboard that utilizes a design of a beckoning cat, which originated in the Edo period and is known as a lucky charm for business prosperity.

[0006] Patent Document 3 discloses a human-shaped signboard that features a head and hand sticking out from the top center of two back-to-back signboards and waving the hand to attract the attention of passersby.

[0007] Patent Document 4 discloses an internally changeable signboard characterized by having a pocket on the signboard and a lid (cover) on the top to prevent rain and water droplets from entering. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] Signs are a powerful tool for attracting customers or increasing attention. Therefore, it is desirable to prepare multiple signs according to the purpose, installation environment, season, etc. However, the economic burden of preparing multiple signs is large.

[0010] In particular, small and medium-sized stores have limited budgets for signboards, so they have no choice but to use standardized or rectangular, ordinary signs.

[0011] The use of the signs disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 can increase the level of attention. However, in order to create a unique sign that is suited to the purpose, installation environment, season, etc., it is necessary to prepare multiple signs that are suited to the desired usage scenario. Therefore, it is not possible to reduce the economic burden.

[0012] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a signboard decoration and a signboard decoration method that can be used in different ways depending on the usage scene. Another object of the present invention is to provide a signboard decoration body and a signboard decoration method that can utilize an existing signboard while providing decoration suited to the usage scene. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] The present invention has the following configuration.

[0014] (1) A signboard decoration made of resin with a desired design that can be detachably attached to the outer periphery of a signboard body having an advertising board that displays advertisements.

[0015] (2) A plate-shaped resin sign decoration with a desired design that can be freely attached and detached to the outer periphery of a rectangular, free-standing sign body having a translucent advertising board for displaying advertisements, a base for installing the advertising board, and an internal light source.

[0016] (3) A signboard decorating method in which a resin signboard decoration having a desired design is detachably attached to the outer periphery of a signboard body having an advertising board that displays advertisements. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, it is possible to perform billboard advertising according to the usage scene without preparing a plurality of billboards. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the entire signboard decoration according to one embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the entire signboard body in the embodiment. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the signboard decoration attached to a signboard in the embodiment; [Figure 4] 10 is a diagram showing the flow of the process of attaching and detaching a signboard decoration to a signboard in the embodiment. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The signboard decoration (hereinafter referred to as "decoration") 100 of this embodiment is attached to the outer periphery 200a of the signboard body 200 in a detachable manner.

[0020] That is, the decorative body 100 is formed from a resin, for example, a thermoplastic resin such as FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), ABS resin, or other resin foam such as foamed plastic, or hard silicon. In particular, a lightweight resin is preferably used. When viewed from the front (the side opposite the surface displaying the advertisement on the billboard 220), the decorative object 100 has a rounded rectangular outer periphery and an open U-shape at the bottom. The decorative body 100 has a predetermined thickness (thickness M) and has a front part, a back part, a top part, a right side part, a left side part, and a bottom part. The front part 100a (corresponding to the wooden surface) and the back part 100b (corresponding to the wooden back) are each decorated with a desired design (including letters, symbols, figures, and patterns).

[0021] Additionally, the ornament 100 has an attachment portion 120 for removably attaching to the outer periphery 200a of the signboard main body 200. This attachment portion 120 has the same shape and size (area) as the signboard main body 200 in a plan view. That is, in the plan view of the decorative body 100 and the signboard 200, The length of the long side of the outer periphery 200a of the signboard body 200: SL The length of the short side of the outer periphery 200a of the signboard body 200: SW Length of the long side of the mounting part 120: ML Length of the short side of the mounting part 120: MW Then, the relationship is SL=ML and SW=MW. Furthermore, the thicknesses S and M of the signboard body are in an equivalent relationship.

[0022] It is preferable to prepare multiple decorative bodies 100 with designs on the front part 100a and the back part 100b according to the usage scene. In addition, the mounting part 120 is provided with an L-shaped metal fitting (not shown) as a reinforcing tool when mounting to the signboard body 200.

[0023] The signboard main body 200 has a light-transmitting advertising board 220 that is rectangular in plan view. A planar advertisement is displayed on the advertising board 220. The signboard main body 200 also has a base section 240 for installation at the lower section 200b, and functions as a freestanding signboard. The signboard main body 200 also has a light source section (not shown) built in, and functions as an illuminated signboard.

[0024] The hardness of outer periphery 200a of signboard main body 200 is greater than the hardness of signboard main body 200. Outer periphery 200a of signboard main body 200 is formed of, for example, a metal frame, and has a breakage prevention function.

[0025] The operation of the above configuration will now be described.

[0026] First, the ornament 100 is attached to the signboard body 200 so that the outer periphery 200a of the signboard body 200 is positioned on the inner periphery 120a of the attachment portion 120 (see step S410 in FIG. 4). Here, the decorative part 120 and the signboard body 200 have a relationship of SL=ML, SW=MW. Therefore, the inner peripheral part 120a of the mounting part 120 is pressed toward the outer peripheral part 200a of the signboard body 200 so as to enclose the signboard body 200 and is fitted in. In this way, the decorative body 100 is mounted on the signboard body 200. At this time, the inner peripheral part 120a of the mounting part 120 is fitted in as if resisting the force of the outer peripheral part 200a of the signboard body 200 directed outward. In other words, the decorative body 100 made of resin has more elasticity than the outer peripheral part 200a made of metal. Therefore, the mounting part 120 is mounted on the outer peripheral part 200a of the signboard body 200 by being pushed outward.

[0027] After the decorative body 100 is attached to the signboard body 200, if necessary, the decorative body 100 and the surface of the signboard body 200 having the advertisement board 220 are screwed together using the attached L-shaped metal fittings (step S420). This makes the decorative body 100 and the signboard body 200 firmly attached to each other.

[0028] When removing the decorative body 100 attached to the signboard main body 200, first, the L-shaped metal fittings that secure the decorative body 100 to the signboard main body 200 are removed (step S430).

[0029] Thereafter, the ornament 100 is pulled out from the signboard body 200 to release the pressure contact between the inner periphery 120a of the mounting portion 120 and the outer periphery 200a of the signboard body 200, and the two are separated from each other. This allows the ornament 100 to be removed from the signboard body 200 (step S440).

[0030] When a new decorative body 100 is to be attached to the signboard body 200 (Y in step S450), the processes from step S420 onward described above may be carried out.

[0031] According to the above embodiment, the decoration 100 can be detachably attached to the signboard body 200 according to the usage scene such as the purpose, installation environment, or season, so it is possible to use one signboard in different ways. In addition, by using the attractive and innovative decoration 100 and the signboard body 200, it is possible to expect an increase in attention and a wide range of customer attraction effects.

[0032] Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, the decorative body 100 can be made with a very simple structure, and can be formed using resin that is easily available. This makes it possible to provide a decorative body that is excellent both economically and in terms of productivity. In addition, it is no longer necessary to prepare multiple signs to meet various usage scenarios, which reduces the environmental impact and contributes to the SDGs.

[0033] Furthermore, since the ornament 100 can be made of resin, it is possible to provide an ornament 100 that is lightweight, easy to carry, easy to store, and durable.

[0034] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0035] Specifically, the decorative body may be made of a resin other than FRP, thermoplastic resin, resin foam, or hard silicone resin. The shape of the decorative body may be other than U-shaped, so long as the decorative body can be removably attached to the outer periphery of the signboard body. The same goes for the shape of the attachment part. The size of the attachment part does not have to be the same shape or size (area) as the planar shape of the signboard body, so long as the decorative body can be removably attached to the outer periphery of the signboard body. Furthermore, the decorative item 100 may have a desired design on either the front surface 100 or the back surface 100b. Furthermore, the jewelry item 100 may be shaped as a whole to resemble an animal or a person. In addition, there is no particular limitation on the manufacturing method of the jewelry body 100. For example, the jewelry body 100 may be manufactured by injection molding or extrusion molding, or may be manufactured using a 3D printer. Furthermore, the decorative body 100 does not need to cover the entire outer periphery of the signboard body, but only needs to be attached so as to contact a portion of the outer periphery.

[0036] The sign may be of a type other than a freestanding type. In this case, the decorative body may be attached to the sign body so as to be surrounded by the attachment portion.

[0037] The sign body may have a shape other than a rectangular shape in plan view. In this case, the shape of the decoration may be any shape that allows the decoration to be detachably attached to the sign body, and it is preferable that the attachment portion is shaped to correspond to the outer periphery of the sign body. Furthermore, the advertisement display portion of the signboard body (corresponding to the advertisement board 220 in the above embodiment) is not limited to being flat, and may have recesses and protrusions.

[0038] Furthermore, SL and ML, and SW and MW do not have to be in an equal relationship as long as the decoration can be detachably attached to the signboard body. For example, SL≧ML and SW≧MW may be satisfied. Furthermore, thickness M and thickness S do not have to be equal as long as the decorative body can be attached to the signboard body in a detachable manner. [Explanation of symbols]
