Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a magnetically attached illumination device, and more particularly to an advertising device that is installed in, for example, a show window, a storefront, a booth at an exhibition hall, or the like, or to a device that is suitable for decorating an interior wall. [Background technology]

[0002] Illuminated signs have traditionally been used as advertising devices installed in show windows, storefronts, booths at exhibition halls, etc. There are various types of illuminated signs, including direct-light-emitting types that use the light emitted by multiple LEDs (light-emitting diodes) to display characters, figures, etc., and backlit types that use the light emitted by illuminators installed on the back of the screen to make characters, figures, etc. appear.

[0003] For example, the information display sign of Patent Document 1, which adopts the former type, has a display board as one of its components. This display board is equipped with LEDs and a drive circuit board, etc., and has a large number of LEDs arranged in a dot pattern so that letters and / or numbers can be displayed. Meanwhile, the luminous sign of Patent Document 2, which adopts the latter type, has a back panel on which LEDs are attached and a front light-shielding sheet with letter-shaped through-holes of a certain width, and the through-holes act as light-transmitting sections for light from the LEDs on the back, causing the letters to light up.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3232611 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3016684 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] By the way, it is often desirable to change the content displayed on signs, such as phrases to introduce exhibits in a show window that change with the seasons, or phrases in an exhibition booth that are updated with each event. With the sign of Patent Document 1, if you want to change the characters or graphics, you need to replace the display board itself, which is costly and time-consuming to manufacture. Also, with the luminous sign of Patent Document 2, if you want to change the characters or graphics, you need to change the shape of the through-holes, which means you need to change the front light-blocking sheet, which also adds cost and time to manufacture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the scales and angles of components and the like shown in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily correspond to the actual objects, but have been adjusted to make them easier to understand.

FIG. 7 is an external view of the fixed chip 6, with (a) showing a perspective view, (b) showing a front view, and (c) showing a bottom view.

[0015] As shown in Figure 1, the magnetic illumination device 1 has an electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, a flexible tubular light 4, a current collecting tip 5, a fixing tip 6, and a power source 7. In the magnetic illumination device 1, the flexible tubular light 4 can be fixed and positioned in any position on the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 in a desired shape, and can be made to emit light.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2, the magnet sheet 2 with electrodes has a magnet sheet 20, a first electrode pattern 31, and a second electrode pattern 32.

[0017] The magnet sheet 20 is a flexible sheet-like magnet with a thickness of 0.4 mm to 5 mm, and has a parallel-striped multi-pole magnetization pattern formed on its surface, with alternating band-like north and south poles. That is, as shown in Fig. 2, magnetic poles of constant width (north pole 21 and south pole 22) of opposite polarity are formed alternately in equally spaced stripes on both sides of the magnet sheet, forming a multi-pole magnetized type with magnetization lines 23 of a constant pitch P. Here, the magnetization line 23 refers to the imaginary boundary line between any one magnetic pole 21 on the surface of the multi-pole magnetized magnet sheet 20 and the adjacent magnetic pole 22 of the opposite polarity.

[0018] In reality, this is the area that appears white when a magnetic viewer sheet (a film in which magnetic fluid microcapsules are uniformly dispersed) is attached, and is an area where the magnetic field in the normal direction to the surface of the magnetic sheet, i.e., the direction perpendicular to the surface, is extremely weak or zero. In other words, the magnetization lines 23 are imaginary lines on the sheet surface. In the side view of Figure 2(b), the magnetization lines 23 are located at both ends of the magnetic sheet 20 in the thickness direction. The pitch width P of the magnetization lines 23, i.e., the distance between adjacent magnetization lines 23, is 1.5 to 7.0 mm.

[0019] The first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32 are both made of a thin conductive material, such as steel foil, stainless steel foil, aluminum foil, copper foil, or conductive rubber having a thickness of 25 μm to 200 μm, or 300 μm to 1 mm, and are laminated on the surface region of the magnet sheet 20 via an adhesive (not shown). Specifically, the first electrode patterns 31 are laminated on the surface area of ​​the magnet sheet 20 corresponding to the N pole 21, and one end portions 31T are electrically connected to each other. The second electrode pattern 32 is insulated from the first electrode pattern 31, and is laminated on the surface area of ​​the magnet sheet 20 corresponding to the south pole 22, and the other end portions 32T different from the first electrode pattern 31 are electrically connected to each other.

[0020] To produce the first electrode pattern 31, for example, a plurality of strips of conductive material cut into strips with a width slightly narrower than the width of the N pole of the magnet sheet 20 are arranged parallel to and facing each other at a distance slightly wider than the pitch width P of the magnet sheet 20, and one end of each conductive material in the longitudinal direction is electrically connected to each other by a conductive material to form a roughly comb shape. Alternatively, the first electrode pattern 31 may be produced by punching using a mold that can be formed into the roughly comb shape. The same applies to the second electrode pattern 32.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, the flexible tube light 4 has a configuration in which a tape LED 40 is covered with an exterior tube GT. As shown in Fig. 4(a), the LED strip 40 is configured by continuously connecting multiple unit strip lights 41 in the longitudinal direction. Each unit strip light 41 has an elongated, sheet-like substrate 42. The substrate 42 is made of a flexible synthetic resin sheet and is connected in a continuous tape-like manner in the longitudinal direction. This flexibility is in the normal direction to the substrate surface.

[0022] An LED chip 43 and a resistor 44 are attached to one surface (front side surface) of the substrate 42, and printed wiring 46 is laminated on the other surface (rear side surface) of the substrate 42. A pair of bypass conductors 451, 452 is provided on the back side of the substrate 42 over the entire length of the LED strip 4. The bypass conductors 451, 452 are intended to compensate for increased electrical resistance of the positive wiring 461 and the negative wiring 462 in the printed wiring 46. They also serve to ensure that power is supplied to the unit light strip 41 even when the unit light strip 41 is cut at a cut line CL (described below). The pair of bypass conductors 451, 452 are insulated from each other by an insulating material. The LED chips 43 may be of various colors such as blue, red, green, orange, and pink, but all of them are the same color as one tube-type LED 4 .

[0023] The printed wiring 46 includes a positive wiring 461, a negative wiring 462, and a connection wiring 463. The negative wiring 462 is provided at a distance from the positive wiring 461, and the connection wiring 463 is provided between the positive wiring 18a and the negative wiring 18b. The positive electrode wires 461 of adjacent unit strip lights 41 are continuously connected to each other (see FIG. 5). The negative electrode wires 462 of adjacent unit strip lights 41, 41 are continuously connected to each other.

[0024] The LED chip 43 and resistor 44 are connected in series by a connection wire 463. The positive terminal of the LED chip 43 is connected to the positive wire 461 directly or via the resistor 44. The negative terminal of the LED chip 43 is connected to the negative wire 462 directly or via the resistor 44.

[0025] The outer tube GT is a long, hollow body made of silicone resin that is flexible and has the ability to maintain a bent state. The top surface G1 of the outer tube GT is made of a translucent material that transmits light, while the other surfaces are non-transparent (for example, non-transparent white). By making only the top surface translucent, light from the light-emitting diode (described below) can be concentrated and emitted in only one direction (the translucent surface side). Furthermore, by providing an aluminum wire, for example, with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm to 2 mm, inside or outside the long hollow body, the bent state can be maintained even more effectively against the force that restores the bend, thereby making it possible to improve shape-following ability. The flexible tube light 4 can be cut (separated) along the cut line CL into unit tape lights 41, and each cut element is flexible and can emit light, so it can be used alone or by combining cut pieces or pieces with different light colors to form various letters, figures, symbols, etc., and by attaching it to a base plate (for example, a magnetic sheet 2 with electrodes), a colorful illuminated signboard can be created.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 6, the current collecting tip 5 is composed of a magnet piece 50 and two electrode pins P1 and P2. The magnet piece 50 is, for example, a magnet sheet having the same thickness and magnetization pitch as the magnet sheet 20 in the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, cut into a roughly square shape in plan view with a magnetization line 53 located in the center and one north pole 51 and one south pole 52 on either side. The magnet piece 50 has pin holes 54a and 54b that penetrate through the thickness direction symmetrically about the magnetization line 53.

[0027] The electrode pins P1 and P2 are headed pins made of a conductive material such as stainless steel or steel, and pass through terminal holes 54a and 54b of the magnet piece 50, respectively, from the back surface (magnetic surface) of the magnet piece 50 toward the front surface, with heads P1T and P2T on the back surface. The heads P1T and P2T protrude the same small distance from the back surface of the magnet piece 50. The protrusion amount is preferably 1 mm or less. This protrusion amount corresponds to the thickness of the heads P1T and P2T. The non-protruding ends of the electrode pins P1 and P2 are connected to the power supply lines D1 and D2 of the flexible tube light 4, respectively. In the current collecting chip 5, the tip P1T of the positive electrode P1 of the magnet piece 50 and the tip P2T of the negative electrode P2 are each arranged symmetrically on both sides of the magnetization line 53 of the magnet piece 50 at a width position less than the pitch width P of the magnet sheet 20 of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 from the magnetization line 53, and protrude the same small length from the back side of the magnet piece 50.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 7, the fixed chip 6 is made up of a clip CP and a magnet piece 60 that are fixed together with an adhesive. The clip CP is a clamping body made of metal or synthetic resin and is roughly U-shaped when viewed from the front. It consists of a rectangular bottom plate CP1 and side plates CP2 that extend from both ends of the bottom plate CP1 in the same direction perpendicular to the bottom plate surface and are arranged facing each other. A flexible tubular light 4 can be installed inside the roughly U-shaped space S1 formed on the inside by clamping it between the side plates CL2. The installed flexible tubular light 4 can slide longitudinally within the clip CP. This allows fine adjustment of the attachment position of the flexible tubular light 4 to the electrode-equipped magnetic sheet 2. The magnet piece 60, like the magnet piece 50 of the current collecting chip 5, is made by cutting a magnet sheet of the same thickness and magnetization pitch as the magnet sheet 20 in the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 into an approximately square shape in plan view, with a magnetization line 63 located in the center and one north pole 61 and one south pole 62 on either side of it.

[0029] The power supply 7 is a DC power supply, and as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 described later, its positive side is connected to the first electrode pattern 31 and its negative side is connected to the second electrode pattern 32 via a switch 71.

[0030] Next, the function of the magnetic illumination device 1 will be explained using Fig. 8. Fig. 8 shows the state in which the flexible tube light 4 is attached to the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a side view (viewed from the direction of arrow A in (a)). In FIG. 8, the switch 81 of the power supply 7 is in an on state.

[0031] When attaching the flexible tubular light 4 to the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, first, the flexible tubular light 4 is patterned into the desired shape (e.g., the number "1" in FIG. 1). Next, the fixing tip 6 is attached to an appropriate position on the patterned flexible tubular light 4. Next, the flexible tubular light 4 with the fixing tip attached is brought to a position on the surface of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 near the target position. Then, at this position, the back surface (magnetic surface) of the magnet piece 60 of the fixing tip 6 is brought close to the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2. At this time, because both the first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32 are thin, the north pole 61 of the magnet piece 60 and the south pole 22 of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 will attract each other with the second electrode pattern 32 interposed therebetween, and the south pole 62 of the magnet piece 60 and the north pole 21 of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 will attract each other with the first electrode pattern 31 interposed therebetween.

[0032] In other words, the magnet piece 60 is magnetically attracted to a position where its magnetization line 63 coincides with the magnetization line 23 of the magnet sheet 20 of the magnet sheet with electrodes 2, and the magnetic poles 61, 62 on either side of the magnetization line 63 are opposite to each other on the magnet sheet with electrodes 2. Therefore, if there is a deviation between the center line of the target position and the position where the magnetization line 23 coincides, the magnet piece 60 will be magnetically attracted to a position that is slightly deviated from the target.

[0033] If it is desired to magnetically attach the fixed chip 6 to a position where the magnetic poles of the magnet sheet 60 and the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 are of the same polarity, they will repel each other, so in this case the fixed chip 6 is positioned by being flipped 180 degrees around a central axis perpendicular to its bottom surface. As a result of the above, one flexible tube-type light 4 is fixed to the target position on the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2.

[0034] Next, the current collecting tip 5 is held and magnetically attached onto the nearest magnet sheet 2 with electrodes. Like magnet piece 60, magnet piece 50 is magnetically attracted at a position where its magnetization line 53 coincides with the magnetization line 23 of magnet sheet 20 of electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 and the magnetic poles 51, 52 on both sides of the magnetization line 53 are opposite to each other on electrode-attached magnet sheet 2.

[0035] The tip P1T of the positive electrode P1 and the tip P2T of the negative electrode P2 of the magnet piece 50 on the current collecting chip 5 are arranged symmetrically across the magnetization line 53 of the magnet piece 50 at a width position from the magnetization line 53 that is less than the pitch width P of the magnet sheet 20 of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, and they protrude the same small distance from the back surface of the magnet piece 50. Therefore, when the magnet piece 50 is magnetically attached as described above, the tip PT of the positive electrode P1 of the flexible tubular light 4 abuts against the surface of the first electrode pattern 31, and the tip P2T of the negative electrode P2 of the current collecting chip 5 abuts against the surface of the second electrode pattern 32. This causes electricity to flow through the LED chip 43, and the flexible tubular light 4 emits light.

[0036] If it is desired to magnetically attach the collector chip 5 to a position where the magnetic poles of the magnet sheet 50 and the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 are of the same polarity, they will repel each other, so in this case the collector chip is positioned flipped 180 degrees around an axis perpendicular to its bottom surface. In other words, the collecting chip can be magnetically attached to the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 only where the magnetization line 53 of the magnet piece 50 and the magnetization line 23 of the magnet sheet 20 of the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2 coincide with each other and the magnetic poles on both sides are opposite to each other in the electrode-attached magnet sheet 2. The other light emitting chips 4 can be magnetically attached in the same manner, and for example, "U1" as shown in FIG. 1 can be depicted as light emitting characters.

[0037] In this way, the flexible tube light 4 is fixed to the surface of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 with the fixing chip 6 attached. The fixing chip 6 can be magnetically attached at any position in the longitudinal direction of the magnetic pole or electrode on the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, and in the direction perpendicular to this in units of the pitch width P of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2. In other words, it can be attached and detached at almost any position on a two-dimensional plane. Furthermore, since the flexible tube light 4 is flexible and has the ability to maintain a bent state, it is possible to draw any illumination pattern on the surface of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, and it is also possible to draw an illumination pattern while making modifications to it. It is also easy to change to a completely different illumination pattern. As described above, the magnetic illumination device 1 can reduce production costs by eliminating the need to manufacture new items when changing the characters or figures displayed. Furthermore, since the fixed chip 6 is made up of the magnet piece 60, it can be easily attached to and detached from the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, which serves as the base plate, and the aesthetic appearance of the base plate can be maintained even after the flexible tube light 4 is removed.

[0038] [First Modified Example] In the magnetic illumination device of the first modification, an insulating material is interposed between the first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32 in the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2. Examples of the insulating material include non-conductive synthetic resin. According to this example, a short circuit between the first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32 can be reliably prevented.

[0039] [Second Modification] In the magnetic illumination device of the second modified example, the positive electrode P1 and the negative electrode P2 of the current collecting tip 5 are pointed. Additionally, a thin decorative sheet made of soft magnetic material is magnetically attached to the side of the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2 on which the first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32 are formed. This thin decorative sheet is made by spreading a mixture of soft magnetic powder and a binder into a sheet and laminating a design layer on the surface of the sheet. In this example, the positive electrode P1 and the negative electrode P2 are pointed, so that when attaching the current collecting chip 5 to the electrode-equipped magnet sheet 2, the positive electrode P1 and the negative electrode P2 of the current collecting chip 5 can be inserted through the thin decorative sheet. The positive electrode P1 and the negative electrode P2 that have inserted through the thin decorative sheet come into contact with the first electrode pattern 31 and the second electrode pattern 32, respectively, and the LED 40 lights up.

[0040] [Third Modification] In the magnetic illumination device of the second modification, the function of the current collecting tip 5 is integrated with the function of the fixing tip 6. For example, the clip CP is configured to be rotatably supported with the central axis of the magnet piece 50 as the rotation axis.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments disclosed above are merely examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims. That is, the structure, shape, material, number, mounting position, application, etc. of the magnetic illumination device 1 as a whole or in part can be modified as appropriate in accordance with the gist of the present invention. For example, the ferromagnetic wall (2) uses a magnet sheet as the main component of the magnetic attraction means, and the fixed part also uses a magnet sheet as the main component, but a soft magnetic material such as steel foil or stainless steel foil can also be used as the main component of the ferromagnetic wall (2).Furthermore, the fixed part also uses a magnet sheet as the main component, but a soft magnetic material can also be used as the main component. [Industrial Applicability]

[0042] The present invention can be widely used as an advertising device installed in a show window, in a storefront, in a booth at an exhibition hall, etc., or as a device suitable for decorating an interior wall. [Explanation of symbols]
