Furthermore, a warning film (20) that reflects or emits light is formed on the outer circumference of the body (19).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a nobori (vertical banner) and a curling prevention device for a nobori for preventing the nobori cloth from curling up.

Background Art

[0002] A nobori has a vertically elongated nobori cloth attached to a vertically extending vertical pole and a horizontal bar horizontally provided at an upper end of the vertical pole. Annular loop cloths are provided on side edges and an upper edge of the nobori cloth at intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions, and these loop cloths are sequentially inserted through the vertical pole and the horizontal bar.

[0003] This nobori is often installed outdoors. In strong winds, the nobori cloth is curled upward along the vertical pole, and further continuous strong wind causes the nobori cloth to get across the horizontal bar, making it impossible to visually recognize the display of characters, figures, etc. written on the nobori cloth.

[0004] For this reason, a curling prevention device for nobori has been conceived, in which insertion portions are formed in the lowermost loop cloth and the loop cloth immediately above the lowermost loop cloth, and insertion rods are inserted into the upper and lower insertion portions to prevent curling of the nobori cloth (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the above-mentioned conventional curling prevention device for nobori requires processing to be performed on the nobori (loop cloth), and thus cannot be applied to existing nobori.

[0007] Furthermore, strong winds caused the anti-flapping devices for the banners to detach, making it impossible to effectively prevent the banner fabric from flapping up. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, a banner anti-rolling device for a banner that is formed by inserting loops of cloth, which are provided at vertical intervals on the side of the banner cloth, onto a vertical pole, has a hollow body that is slidable vertically along the vertical pole between the loops of cloth provided at vertical intervals and is rotatable around the vertical pole.

[0009] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 2, a warning film that reflects or emits light is formed on the outer circumference of the main body, in the present invention according to claim 1.

[0010] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 3, the main body is made to have a flexible cylindrical shape, as in the present invention according to claim 1.

[0011] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 4, in the present invention according to claim 1, the main body is in the form of a rolled-up material, with the left and right ends overlapping or touching each other, and is made openable and closable from side to side.

[0012] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 5, the main body comprises a cylindrical first main body as described in claim 3 and a rolled second main body as described in claim 4, and the second main body is transported while housed inside the first main body.

[0013] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 6, in a banner formed by inserting a vertical pole through a ribbon cloth provided at vertical intervals on the side edge of the banner cloth, the banner anti-flipping device described in any of claims 1 to 4 is provided between the uppermost ribbon cloth and the ribbon cloth directly below it. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention provides the following effects.

[0015] In other words, the present invention provides a banner anti-rolling device for banners formed by inserting loops of cloth, which are provided at vertical intervals on the sides of the banner cloth, onto a vertical pole, to prevent the banner cloth from rolling up. The device has a hollow body that is slidable vertically along the vertical pole and rotatable around the vertical pole between the loops of cloth provided at vertical intervals. Therefore, the banner anti-rolling device can be attached to existing banners and used with them. Furthermore, it prevents the banner anti-rolling device from falling off the banner due to strong winds, etc., thereby ensuring that the characters, diagrams, and other markings on the banner cloth are clearly visible even in strong winds.

[0016] In particular, if a warning film that reflects or emits light is formed on the outer circumference of the main body, it is possible to draw the attention of passersby (pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) with light, and damage to the anti-flipping device for banners can be prevented.

[0017] Furthermore, if the main body is made into a flexible cylindrical shape, damage to the anti-flipping device for the banner can be prevented even if it is struck by pebbles, dust, etc.

[0018] Furthermore, if the main body is made in the form of a rolled-up material with an elastic plate-like structure, where the left and right ends overlap or touch each other, and is made to be openable and closable from side to side, then the anti-roll-up device for banners can be attached to the vertical pole without removing the banner cloth from the pole.

[0019] Furthermore, if the main body consists of a cylindrical first body and a rolled-up second body, and the second body is housed inside the first body during transport, then two types of anti-rolling devices for banners can be transported simultaneously, and the elastic second body can prevent the flexible first body from deforming during transport.

[0020] Further, when the anti-curling tool for a nobori is provided between the uppermost loop cloth and the loop cloth immediately therebelow, it is possible to more effectively prevent the upper part of the nobori cloth from crossing over the horizontal bar. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[Figure 4] A plan view (a), a front view (b), a front cross-sectional view (c), and an explanatory plan view (d) showing the anti-curling tool for a nobori. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0022] Hereinafter, specific configurations of the nobori and the anti-curling tool for a nobori according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, the nobori 1 has a display member 3 detachably attached to a support member 2, and an anti-curling tool 4 for a nobori is detachably mounted on the support member 2.

[0024] The support member 2 has a vertical pole 6 extending vertically (in the vertical direction) attached to a pedestal 5, a base end portion of a horizontal bar 8 extending horizontally (in the lateral direction) attached to the upper end portion of the vertical pole 6 via a rotary head 7, and a barb 9 attached to the tip end portion of the horizontal bar 8.

[0025] The display member 3 has a plurality (five in this example) of annular loop cloths 11 to 15 attached at vertical intervals to the side edge of a vertically elongated rectangular nobori cloth 10, and a plurality (three in this example) of annular loop cloths 16 to 18 attached at left-right intervals to the top edge of the nobori cloth 10. Indications such as characters and figures are written on the nobori cloth 10 (not shown).

[0026] This banner 1 has detachable anti-flapping devices 4 attached between the breast cloth 11 located at the top of the side edge of the banner cloth 10 and the breast cloth 12 located directly below it (second from the top), and between the breast cloth 15 located at the bottom of the side edge of the banner cloth 10 and the breast cloth 14 located directly above it (second from the bottom).

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the banner anti-flipping device 4 has a hollow cylindrical body 19 with light-reflecting or radiating warning films 20, 20 on the outer circumference of the upper and lower ends. The body 19 has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the vertical pole 6 and a diameter larger than the maximum diameter that can be formed by the annular ribbing fabrics 11-15 provided on the sides of the banner cloth 10, so that it does not fall off below the ribbing fabrics 11-15. In addition, the cross-section of the body 19 is not limited to a circular shape, but may be polygonal or elliptical, etc.

[0028] This banner anti-flapping device 4 can be detachably attached to the vertical pole 6 together with the banner cloth 10. By inserting the vertical pole 6 through the hollow part of the main body 19 between the upper and lower ribbing cloths 11-15, it can slide up and down along the vertical pole 6 and rotate around the vertical pole 6.

[0029] Furthermore, by attaching the banner anti-rolling device 4 to the banner 1, the banner cloth 10 can be prevented from rolling up due to the weight of the banner anti-rolling device 4. The banner anti-rolling device 4 is designed to slide up and down and rotate horizontally independently of the banner cloth 10 (folding cloth 11-15) when attached to the banner 1.

[0030] In the banner 1 described above, anti-flapping devices 4 for banners are attached between the uppermost fabric 11 and the fabric 12 directly below it, and between the lowermost fabric 15 and the fabric 14 directly above it. Anti-flapping devices 4 for banners may be attached between all of the upper and lower fabrics 11-15, or they may be attached to only one of them.

[0031] Furthermore, the warning film 20 of the banner anti-rolling device 4 described above is not limited to a part of the outer circumference of the main body 19, but may cover the entire circumference. The warning film 20 may be a reflective film that reflects light, or it may be a light-emitting film or a phosphorescent film that emits light.

[0032] As described above, the banner anti-rolling device 4 is used to prevent the banner cloth 10 from rolling up in a banner 1 formed by inserting loops 11-15, which are provided at vertical intervals on the sides of the banner cloth 10, onto a vertical pole 6.

[0033] Furthermore, the above-mentioned banner anti-flipping device 4 has a hollow body 19 that is slidable vertically along the vertical pole 6 and rotatable around the vertical pole 6 between the ribbed cloths 11 to 15 which are spaced apart vertically.

[0034] Therefore, with the above-described configuration of the banner anti-flipping device 4, there is no need to perform any additional processing on the existing banner 1, and the banner anti-flipping device 4 can be attached to and used with the existing banner 1.

[0035] Furthermore, since the banner anti-flipping device 4 is attached between the upper and lower ribbing cloths 11-15, it can prevent the banner anti-flipping device 4 from falling off the banner 1 due to strong winds or the like.

[0036] Furthermore, the banner anti-flipping device 4 is slidable up and down along the vertical pole 6 and rotatable around the vertical pole 6, so it can avoid external forces such as strong winds by moving up and down or rotating, thereby preventing damage.

[0037] Thus, the banner anti-flapping device 4 with the above configuration can prevent the banner cloth 10 from flapping up, and even in strong winds, the characters, diagrams, and other displays on the banner cloth 10 can be clearly seen.

[0038] Furthermore, the above-mentioned banner anti-flipping device 4 has a configuration in which a warning film 20 that reflects or emits light is formed on the outer circumference of the main body 19.

[0039] Therefore, the banner anti-flipping device 4 with the above configuration can alert passersby (pedestrians, vehicles, etc.) with light, and can also prevent damage to the banner anti-flipping device 4.

[0040] Furthermore, in the banner 1 described above, the banner anti-flipping device 4 is installed between the uppermost fabric 11 and the fabric 12 directly below it.

[0041] Therefore, with the above configuration of banner 1, the mounting position (height) of the banner anti-flipping device 4 is higher, eliminating the risk of contact with passersby, and moreover, it is possible to more effectively prevent the upper part of the banner cloth 10 from straddling the horizontal bar 8.

[0042] In the above-described banner anti-flipping device 4, the main body 19 is made of a flexible material such as plastic and has a hollow cylindrical shape. This allows the main body 19 to deform and mitigate the impact even if small stones or dust collide with the banner anti-flipping device 4, thus preventing damage to the banner anti-flipping device 4.

[0043] Furthermore, the banner anti-rolling device 4 only needs to have a hollow section formed in the main body 19 through which the vertical pole 6 can be inserted. As shown in Figure 3, the main body 19' may be made of a thin, elastic material such as urethane, and may be rolled up with the left and right ends overlapping. In this case, the banner cloth 10 can be attached to the vertical pole 6 by opening the main body 19', and the banner anti-rolling device 4 can be easily attached to an already installed banner 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the cylindrical first body 19 shown in Figures 2(a) to (c) and the rolled-up second body 19' shown in Figures 3(a) and (b) can be combined and packaged for transport with the second body 19' housed inside the first body 19, as shown in Figures 3(c) and (d). In this case, the two types of anti-rolling devices 4 for banners (body 19 and body 19') can be transported simultaneously, and the elastic second body 19' can prevent the flexible first body 19 from deforming during transport.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4(a) to (c), the banner anti-flipping device 4 can also be shaped by providing notches 21 in the first body 19 and / or the second body 19', which are made of a hollow tubular (cylindrical) elastic body, so that the left and right ends come into contact with each other.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4(d), by opening and closing the notches 21 in the first body 19 and / or the second body 19', the first body 19 and / or the second body 19' can be attached to the vertical pole 6 without removing the banner cloth 10 from the vertical pole 6, and the banner anti-flipping device 4 can be easily attached to the banner 1 that has already been installed.

[0047] In this case as well, as shown in Figures 4(a) to (c), the second body 19' can be housed inside the first body 19 and packaged for transport, allowing the two types of anti-flipping devices 4 for banners (body 19 and body 19') to be transported simultaneously, and preventing the flexible first body 19 from deforming during transport due to the elastic second body 19'.

[0048] Thus, the banner anti-rolling device 4 is shaped like a roll, in which the first body 19 and / or the second body 19' are wound in an elastic plate state with their left and right ends overlapping or touching each other, and is made openable and closable from side to side. This allows the first body 19 and / or the second body 19' to be attached to the vertical pole 6 without removing the banner cloth 10 from the vertical pole 6, and the banner anti-rolling device 4 can be easily attached to an already installed banner 1.
