AI Technical Summary
Traffic safety flags alone are not sufficient to capture public attention effectively, and there is a need to enhance public relations through innovative reuse of discarded items.
Transform PET bottles into 'bottle information tubes' by cutting off their bottoms, inserting promotional paper strips, and attaching them to traffic safety flag poles, securing the PET bottle spout to the pole with tape to prevent detachment and water ingress.
Enhances the visibility and effectiveness of traffic safety flags by leveraging commonly discarded PET bottles for promotional messages, increasing public engagement.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention involves processing discarded PET bottles, pasting strips of paper such as publicity materials on the inside, and then displaying them together with traffic safety flags, thereby contributing to increasing their effectiveness. [Background technology]
[0002] Traffic safety flags are usually displayed as flags only, with the poles at the bottom not being used much, so it is believed that displaying a "plastic bottle information tube (hereinafter referred to as "bottle information tube")" alongside a traffic safety flag in a highly visible location would be quite effective. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 2] [Non-patent literature]
[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] [Non-patent document 2] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Traffic safety flags catch the attention of many people, but simply displaying the flags is not enough, so strengthening public relations to supplement this is significant. The idea of easily transforming everyday unwanted items into something useful would be readily accepted by many people. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The bottom of a cylindrical PET bottle is cut off with a cutter or similar tool to prevent the contents from being scorched by the heat of sunlight, and then a strip of paper with an appropriate publicity message is inserted inside and attached with adhesive.The top part of the traffic safety flag pole is removed from the base and inserted into the spout at the top of the PET bottle, and the spout is secured to the pole with vinyl tape to prevent it from falling off or rainwater from seeping in.The bottle is then returned to the base of the traffic safety flag, and the publicity message is made available to the public. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] Displaying standardized traffic safety flags only produces a certain level of effect, but this invention is expected to increase that effect, and its ingenuity in utilizing commonly found, unnecessary items is worthy of attention. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is the spout of the PET bottle. 2 is the bottom of the PET bottle. [Figure 2] 1 is the top of the flag pole. 2 is the joint between the plastic bottle and the top of the flag pole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] To reuse 1.5 liter PET bottles used for soft drinks, the caps are removed, the bottoms are cut off with a cutter or similar tool, strips of paper with promotional messages written on them are inserted, and the bottles are attached with adhesive (they can also be hung from the spout with a string) to create "bottle information tubes." The top of the bottle is then removed from a traffic safety flag pole and inserted into the spout of the "bottle information tube," which is then secured with vinyl tape (a wide rubber band is also acceptable) to prevent it from falling off and rainwater seeping in, and then returned to the base of the traffic safety flag pole for display. Practical example
[0010] The following description will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings. In "Figure 1," 1 is the spout with the cap removed, and 2 is the cut bottom. In "Figure 2," 1 is the top of the traffic safety flag pole, and 2 is the joint between the spout and the pole of the "bottle information tube."
[0011] The following provides additional explanation using the photos attached to the "Property Submission Form." The photo shows the actual situation in which the traffic safety flag is being used. The adjustment device for extending the flag has been loosened and the top of the pole has been removed, which is then inserted into the "bottle information tube" and joined together, allowing it to be displayed together with the traffic safety flag. [Industrial Applicability]
[0012] By rewriting the strips of paper attached to the "bottle publicity tubes" with commercial advertisements, it is possible to infer that they are being diverted for commercial purposes. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims
[Claim 1] Unwanted plastic bottles are processed and publicity strips are attached to the inside for public viewing. By displaying these alongside highly visible traffic safety flags, the project aims to increase the publicity effect.
