Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a display device with improved appeal. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the display device shown. [Figure 3] This is a front view of the second component as seen from the front. [Figure 4] This is a front view showing the operation of the display component when the display device is in its display state. [Figure 5] This is a rear view of the display unit. [Figure 6] This is a perspective view showing an example of how to play with the display device. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention, a display device, will be described with reference to the figures. In the following description, "front" refers to the front side of the display device, and "rear" refers to the back side of the display device.

[0010] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the display device 1. As shown in Figure 1, the display device 1 comprises a rectangular base member 20 in plan view that is placed on the mounting portion 60, and a display member 10 that is mounted perpendicularly to the base member 20. The base member 20 and the display member 10 are formed in a flat plate shape as shown in the figure. The display member 10 also has a circular through hole 11 formed on its lower end. As shown in the figure, when the display member 10 is mounted on the base member 20, this through hole 11 is sized to allow the insertion of a part of the human body, such as a finger 50.

[0011] The base member 20 and the display member 10 are made of light-transmitting material. The display member 10 has a surface fs on which the pattern De can be seen, but this surface fs does not have a pattern De, while the other surface rs has a pattern De of the character. In other words, the pattern De is seen from the front side through the transparent display member. Furthermore, the pattern De of the display member 10 is not formed on the lower end 10d, which is one end of the display member, and the area around the through hole 11 is made of a transparent portion.

[0012] In the display member 10, the lower end portion 10d, in which the through hole 11 is formed, has a curved outer surface 10ds. This lower end portion 10d has an outer surface 10ds with approximately the same curvature as the inner surface 11is of the through hole 11. When the display member 10 is mounted on the base member 20, this lower end portion 10d is held in place.

[0013] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the display device 1. As shown in Figure 2, a hole 21 is formed in the base member 20 of the display device 1. The hole 21 is configured as a relatively elongated, rectangular through-opening in plan view, consisting of a first short side 21a (length W1) in the width direction and a first long side 21b (length L1) in the longitudinal direction. The lower end portion 10d of the display member 10 is fitted into this hole 21 to support the display member 10.

[0014] Figure 3 is a front view of the display device 1. As shown in Figure 3, the display member 10 has a contour shape in which at least a portion of it has a recessed portion 10c that follows the outer edge of the character's image De. For example, the second short side (W2), which is the width of the display member 10, is configured so that its width changes depending on its position in the height direction in the figure. More specifically, the middle section in the height direction of the display member 10 in Figure 3 is the maximum length (W2-1) of the second short side (W2), and the length decreases in the order of the lower end length (W2-2) of the lower end 10d, and the upper end length (W2-3) of the upper end 10u. Also, the second long side (H2), which is the vertical width of the display member 10, is configured to be longer than the maximum length (W2-1) of the second short side (W2). That is, the display member 10 is configured to be longer in the direction from the lower end 10d to the upper end 10u (from the character's feet to the head).

[0015] In the base member 20, the rectangular hole 21 is configured such that its first long side 21b (length L1) in the longitudinal direction is shorter than the maximum length (W2-1) of the second short side (W2) and the lower end length (W2-2) of the lower end 10d. In this way, because the longitudinal length (L1) of the hole 21 is shorter than the lower end length (W2-2) of the display member 10, the lower end 10d is held in a state where one end is inserted into the hole 21.

[0016] On the other hand, the upper end length (W2-3) of the upper end portion 10u of the display member 10 is shorter than the length (L1) of the first long side of the hole 21. Therefore, the upper end portion 10u of the display member 10 cannot be fitted into the hole 21 and is not supported by the base member 20. In other words, the display member 10 is not held upside down with respect to the base member 20, with the character design De facing inverted.

[0017] Figure 4 is a front view showing the operation of the display member 10 when the display device 1 is in display mode. In the state where the display member 10 is attached to the pedestal member 20, as shown in FIG. 4, it is held upright with respect to the pedestal member 20. This is because in the state where the lower end portion 10d of the display member 10 is inserted into the hole 21 of the pedestal member 20, both the front and back surfaces of the lower end portion 10d are engaged with the front and back inner wall surfaces along the first long side 21b of the hole 21, and the outer peripheral surface 10ds is engaged with the first short side 21a of the hole 21. Thereby, the display member 10 is held in the hole 21 by the frictional force of the engagement portion.

[0018] With respect to this upright state, as shown in FIG. 4, the display member 10 can be tilted in the first direction (A) to the left and the second direction (B) opposite thereto. This is because the tilted state can be maintained by the frictional force between the lower end portion 10d and the hole 21. Therefore, for example, by inserting the finger 50 into the through hole 11 and shaking it left and right, the character picture De can be made to move and tilt left and right for play. Also, the display member 10 can be displayed in a tilted state. In this case, an impression different from the impression of the character picture De in the upright state can be created.

[0019] FIG. 5 is a rear view of the display device 1. In the display device 1, when viewed from the surface fs side of one side, the character picture De is displayed as a picture rich in colors using various colors. However, when viewed from the back surface rs side of the other side, as shown in FIG. 5, it is a picture significantly different from that when viewed from the surface fs side. This is because when a picture is provided on the back surface rs of the display member 10 by printing or the like, or when a printed sheet is pasted and provided, a white-based layer is provided at the back in consideration of the color development when viewed from the surface fs side.

[0020] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of how to play with the display device 1. In the display device 1, the display member 10 can be played with even when it is not attached to the base member 20. For example, with a finger 50 inserted into the through hole 11, the finger 50 can be rotated by moving it upwards or sideways. This action allows the display member 10 to rotate, as shown in Figure 6. This is because, as mentioned above, the display member 10 is configured such that its vertical width (second long side) is larger than its horizontal width (second short side), and the through hole 11 is located at the lower end 10d which is biased to one side of the vertical width, making rotation easier.

[0021] As described above, the display device 1 in this embodiment has a configuration in which a display member 10, which is equipped with a through hole 11 that can be attached to a base member 20, can be easily removed from the base member 20 by inserting a finger into the through hole 11 while the display member 10 is still attached to the base member 20. Furthermore, it is possible to transition from the state in which the display member 10 has been removed from the base member 20 by inserting a finger into it to a play state in which the display member 10 is rotated with a finger.

[0022] Furthermore, according to the display device 1 of this embodiment, a finger can be inserted into the display member 10 on which the pattern De is drawn and rotated, so a colorful circular striped pattern can be created using the colors of the pattern De.

[0023] Furthermore, in the display device 1 of this embodiment, since the through-hole 11 is configured in a circular shape, when it is displayed mounted on the base member 20, for example, the through-hole 11 can be used as the outline design of the inside of the character's legs. In addition, because the through-hole 11 is circular and corresponds to the shape of a finger, it is easy to insert a finger and easy to use in a rotating play state.

[0024] In this embodiment of the display device 1, the display member 10 is configured to be tiltable when mounted on the base member 20, allowing for enjoyment of different display configurations. In particular, by tilting the character depicted on the display member 10, different images of the character can be evoked, even though the same image is used.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the display device 1 has a curved outer surface 10ds of the lower end portion 10d that engages with the base member 20, allowing it to be tilted to any position with stepless adjustment of the tilt angle. In addition, the display member 10 can be played with by moving it like a pendulum from side to side (first direction, second direction) so as to slide and rotate along the curved surface 10ds of the lower end portion 10d.

[0026] In this embodiment of the display device 1, the outer peripheral surface 10ds of the lower end portion 10d having a through hole 11 is formed as a curved surface with substantially the same curvature as the inner peripheral surface 11is of the through hole 11. This provides a smooth and pleasant tactile feel when inserting a finger into the through hole 11 for play, allowing for a firmer grip. Furthermore, while holding the display member 10 with a finger inserted into the through hole 11, it is possible to rotate it for play or photograph the display member 10 together with a background (in a state where it is integrated with the background). Moreover, even while holding the display member 10 with a finger inserted into the through hole 11, it is possible to grip an object (e.g., a cup), resulting in good handling.

[0027] In this embodiment of the display device 1, the upper end portion 10u on the side opposite to the mounting side to the base member 20 is configured in a shape that is not held by the base member 20, thereby preventing incorrect mounting orientation of the display member 10.

[0028] In the display device 1 of this embodiment, the base member 20 has a hole 21 formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and the display member 10 is configured to fit into the hole 21 with a width (W1) (first short side 21a) corresponding to its thickness. Therefore, the display member 10 can be mounted using its own thickness, without requiring any special mounting members.

[0029] Furthermore, in the display device 1 of this embodiment, the lower end length (W2-2) of the lower end portion 10d is larger than the length (L1) of the first long side 21b of the hole 21 of the base member 20, so that it can engage with the display member 10 and hold the display member 10, and moreover, the outer peripheral surface 10ds of the lower end portion 10d can be moved to slide relative to the hole 21.

[0030] In the display device 1 of this embodiment, the base member 20 and the display member 10 are formed in a flat plate shape, and both can be easily manufactured simply by cutting a flat plate.

[0031] In the display device 1 of this embodiment, the pattern De of the display member 10 is not formed on the lower end portion 10d where the through hole 11 is provided, so that the position of the pattern De can be raised when the display device 1 is on display. As a result, even if the display member 10 has a relatively small configuration that can be operated with a finger, the appearance of the pattern De can be improved.

[0032] In the display device 1 of this embodiment, at least a part of the display member 10 has the shape of an uneven portion 10c that follows the outer edge of the pattern De, so that the pattern De or character can be emphasized by the contour of the display member 10.

[0033] In the display device 1 of this embodiment, the pattern De is formed on the back surface rs of, for example, an acrylic plate with a predetermined thickness and light transmittance. Therefore, when viewed from the front surface fs, it appears glossy and beautiful, and the thickness of the acrylic plate gives a sense of depth. Furthermore, on the back surface rs, the rear side of the pattern De is coated with a white-based paint. This results in a different pattern De when viewed from the back surface rs compared to when viewed from the front surface, and allows the pattern De to be displayed more beautifully when viewed from the front surface fs.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base member 20 is made of a colorless, transparent material without the pattern De depicted on it, so that only the pattern De can be emphasized when it is on display.

[0035] Although one aspect of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the shape of the base member 20 is rectangular, but it is not limited to this, and can be polygonal, disc-shaped, elliptical, etc.
