Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a "hanging type" information display medium used for safety and cautionary purposes, as well as advertising and promotion. [Background technology]

[0002] The methods and structures for displaying hanging information display media (for example, banners) are as follows: (1) Methods and structures using bars (horizontal bars) (Patent Document 1, etc.) (2) Ceiling-based methods and structures (Patent Document 2, etc.) (3) Methods and structures using string-like objects such as wires and ropes (Patent Document 3, etc.) [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-182596 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3022686 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3073708 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In addition to the above, other known display structures for information display media include attaching with tape, fastening with screws using metal fittings, and inserting into a pocket or the like. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In contrast, the present invention is characterized by a structure in which a single vertically standing rod serves as a support, and two locking members are attached to the support to hang the information display medium.

[0006] The two locking members are rigid enough to stand on their own, and have a restoring force even if the information display medium rotates. The rigid parts of the locking members can be used as gripping parts to increase height, allowing the information display medium to be hung in a high position.

[0007] As a result, it has a simple connection structure in which two fastening members are attached to only one side of the information display medium.The information display medium has a bag-like structure and can be placed so that it is sandwiched between a single vertically standing post, making it possible to post on both sides.

[0008] First of all, the information display medium of the present invention is placed on a single vertically standing pole, so there is no need to spread the legs like with a standing sign, and the installation width can be kept small. Also, with this structure, the installation width does not change even if the pole is lengthened and the information display medium is displayed at a higher position, but the higher the standing sign, the more the legs spread apart, and the wider the installation width required.

[0009] Because the posts are placed inside the information display media, the width of the information display media can be minimized.In contrast, flag banners are placed outside the posts, so they extend outward from the posts.

[0010] The information display medium, road cones, and circular rods (including cone bars) can be easily separated and carried, and the information display medium can be folded to make it small, the road cones can be stacked, and the cone bars can be bundled and stored, thereby saving space and improving convenience.

[0011] By displaying information not only on the information display media but also on the conical body of the road cone, the road cone itself can be used effectively, making it possible to display information in all directions (360 degrees).

[0012] The above-mentioned invention of the present application can be summarized as follows. The first invention of the present application is a method of displaying information display media by using a single vertically standing rod as a support and attaching two or more rigid locking members to the support, all or part of which are capable of standing on its own, and the information display media is hung so that it is sandwiched between the support and is displayed on both sides of the support. The second invention is a method of displaying information display media according to the first invention, characterized in that the support is a rod-shaped body erected on a base consisting of a road cone with a conical main body. Here, the "rod-shaped body" may be a so-called "cone bar" that is installed between the main body portions of the road cone (the same applies to other aspects of the present invention). A third invention is a method for displaying information on an information display medium according to the second invention, characterized in that a cone cover capable of displaying information is attached to a road cone. The fourth invention is a display structure that uses a single vertically standing rod as a support pillar, and two or more rigid locking members that can stand upright in whole or in part are attached to the support pillar to hang information display media, and the information display media is hung so that it is sandwiched between the support pillar, and the information display media is displayed on both sides of the support pillar. The fifth invention is a display structure for an information display medium relating to the fourth invention, characterized in that the support pillar is a rod-shaped body erected on a base consisting of a road cone with a conical main body. A sixth invention is a display structure for an information display medium according to the fifth invention, characterized in that a cone cover capable of displaying information is attached to a road cone. The seventh invention is an information display medium that uses a single vertically standing rod-shaped body as a support and hangs from the support by attaching two or more rigid locking members that can stand upright in whole or in part, characterized in that the information display medium is hung so that it is sandwiched between the support and the information display medium is displayed on both sides of the support. The eighth invention is a locking member for hanging an information display medium from a vertically standing rod-shaped support, wherein all or part of the locking member has rigidity that allows it to stand on its own, and this rigid part is used as a gripping part to lock the information display medium to the support. [Effects of the Invention]

[Figure 7] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram (4) illustrating another embodiment of the present invention (posting structure of information posting medium). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the information display medium will be described using the information display medium shown in the figure. However, the information display medium is not limited to this, and any medium that is hung to display information is included in the "information display medium" of the present invention. The embodiment described below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0016] First, an embodiment of the "locking member for information display media" will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in (1-1), the locking member 35 uses a self-supporting core material 36 (for example, a urethane rod) covered with an exterior material 37. The upper end of the locking member 35 is provided with a hook 38 as a locking portion, and the lower end is provided with a fastener 40 via a fold 39.

[0017] The locking member 35 shown in (1-1) has the hook 38 (locking portion) as a separate body, but as shown in (1-2), the locking member 50 may have curved locking portions 51 and 52 as an integral part. The locking portion 51 corresponds to the hook 38 of the locking member 35, and the locking portion 52 corresponds to the fold 39 and the hook 40 of the locking member 35.

[0018] Next, an embodiment of the "posting structure for information posting media" using the locking member 35 will be described with reference to FIG. The information display medium 30 shown in FIG. 2 is a bag-shaped information display medium made up of two sheet bodies 31, 31. Then, the hook 40 is fastened to the attachment hole 311 formed on the upper end side of the sheet body 31 through the lower end of the attachment member 35, thereby attaching the attachment member 35 to the information display medium 30. Furthermore, the information display medium 30 is suspended by engaging the hook 38 of the engaging member 35 with the annular engaging portion 21 provided at the tip of the erected support 29.

[0019] The information display medium 30 is sandwiched between the two sheet bodies 31, 31 and the support 29. A fastener 34 (for example, a hook or a zipper) for fastening the two sheet bodies 31, 31 together may be used for the sandwiching. In addition, both outer surfaces of the information display medium 30 are used as display spaces 32, 32 for displaying information (for example, "Watch your step" as shown in the figure).

[0020] 2 is hung using two fastening members 35, 35, but it may be hung using three or more. However, in terms of the "posting method for information posting media" explained in the following Figure 3, it is most preferable to use two fastening members 35 (because it allows working with both hands at the same time).

[0021] Furthermore, an embodiment of a "method for posting information on a notice board" using a locking member 35 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in Figure 3, when hanging the information display medium 30, the self-supporting rigid part of the locking member 35 (where the core material 36 is located; see Figure 1) is used as the gripping part, and the hook 38 is locked to the locked part 21 while gripping this part. Here, since the gripping portion of the locking member 35 is a rigid portion that can stand on its own, the hook 38 can be locked to the locked portion 21 by gripping the gripping portion from below the locked portion 21, even for locked portions 21 that are located at a position higher than a person's height. In the case of the locking member 50 shown in FIG. 1-2, the linear main body portion 53 can serve as a gripping portion, and the locking portion 51 is locked to the locked portion 21 while being gripped.

[0022] Next, another embodiment of the "posting structure of the information posting medium" will be described with reference to FIG. The left figure in Figure 4 is a front view of the "information display structure," and the right figure in Figure 4 is a plan view of the "information display structure." Here, the support (rod-shaped body) used is a so-called "cone bar" (with fittings on both ends) that is installed between the main bodies of road cones. As shown in the figure, the "information display medium display structure" uses a road cone 10 with a conical main body 11 as a base (pedestal), a cone bar 20 is erected to serve as a support 29, and the information display medium 30 is hung from a ring-shaped engaging portion 21 (whose original purpose is to be a fitting portion for fitting into the main body 11 of the road cone 10) provided at the tip of the cone bar 20.

[0023] The information display medium 30 can be displayed using the known road cone 10 and cone bar 20, and the information display medium 30 can be displayed at a height that makes it easily visible. An "information display medium" with a high information transmission effect can be provided by using very ordinary equipment (road cone 10 and cone bar 20) that is not equipment specifically designed for information display media. Some existing road cones 10 have an opening at the tip of the main body 11, so it is possible to insert the cone bar 20 using this opening. Also, existing cone bars 20 have fitting portions at both ends for fitting into the main body 11 of the road cone 10, but it is possible to insert the cone bar 20 into the road cone 10 by removing the fitting portion on the side that is inserted into the road cone 10. However, it is also possible to use a new cone bar that has a fitting portion that can be deformed and stretched, allowing it to be inserted without removing the fitting portion.

[0024] Further, other embodiments of the "display structure of the information display medium" will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, attention is focused on the road cone 10. That is, the road cone 10, which serves as a base (base) for erecting the cone bar 20 serving as the support 29, is given the role of an information display medium.

[0025] For example, information (such as "No right turn") is written on a cone cover 15 shown in FIG. 5, and the cone cover 15 is then placed over or wrapped around the main body 11 of the road cone 10. 6, information can be posted in directions that cannot be covered by the information display medium 30. This is an effect of the main body 11 of the road cone 10 being conical, and it can better function as an information display medium. This makes it possible to display information in all directions (360 degrees), allowing for flexible use in a variety of locations and situations (for example, at crossroads).

[0026] Further, other embodiments of the "posting structure of the information posting medium" will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 illustrates variations of the locked portion 21 of the cone bar 20. The locked portion 21 in FIGS. 2 to 6 is annular, but the locked portion in FIG. 7 is shown to have a different shape. In FIG. 7(1), the locked portion 21 is V-shaped. In FIG. 7(2), the locked portion 21 is of a horizontally straight type. In FIG. 7(3), the locked portion 21 is U-shaped. The locked portion 21 shown in FIG. 7 is different from the annular locked portion in that it is open at the top, and therefore can be locked even if the locking member is annular. [Industrial Applicability]

[0027] The "information display medium display method," "information display medium display structure," "information display medium," and "locking member" of the present invention can be widely used in a variety of situations, such as roads, parking lots, construction sites, event venues, and commercial facilities, by utilizing road cones and cone bars.
