[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display unit that can be easily transported and manufacturing method of the display unit thereof.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] As means for solving the above problems, the present invention includes a display sheet to be displayed, a covering sheet that covers the surface of the display sheet, a covering sheet that covers the back surface of the display sheet, a sheet laminate that can be wound into a roll shape, and a stand that maintains the unfolded sheet laminate in a standing state 1 a covering sheet that covers the surface of the display sheet, a covering sheet that covers the back surface of the display sheet, a sheet laminate that can be wound into a roll shape, and a stand that maintains the unfolded sheet laminate in a standing state 2nd a covering sheet that covers the back surface of the display sheet, a sheet laminate that can be wound into a roll shape, and a stand that maintains the unfolded sheet laminate in a standing state A backing sheet provided on the back surface of the unfolded sheet laminate to increase the rigidity of the sheet laminate, and is provided with The stand is constructed by assembling a stand sheet, the stand sheet is rollable, and in the planar direction, the outer edge of the backing sheet is smaller than the outer edge of the unfolded sheet laminate. a display unit characterized by this.

[0007] With this configuration, the sheet laminate can be rolled up (spiral-shaped), allowing it to be compactly stored. This makes it easy to transport the display unit.

[0008] Furthermore, since the covering sheet covers the surface and / or back surface of the sheet being displayed, the covering sheet can protect the sheet being displayed.

[0009] Furthermore, the stand allows the unfolded sheet stack to be maintained in an upright position.

[0010] Furthermore, the stand is The second covering sheet comprises a base portion extending upward from the central lower end, a left portion extending rearward from the left end of the base, and a right portion extending rearward from the right end of the base. The stand sheet comprises the base portion, the left portion, and the right portion. The second covering sheet and the stand sheet are a single component. It can also be used as a composition. Furthermore, as a means to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a method for manufacturing an exhibition unit, characterized in that the sheet laminate is formed by pouching the sheet to be exhibited with the first covering sheet and the second covering sheet, and that in the planar direction, a lip is formed on the outside of the sheet to be exhibited where the first covering sheet and the second covering sheet are in close contact. Furthermore, as a means to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a method for manufacturing an exhibition unit, characterized in that the second covering sheet and the stand sheet are formed by cutting a single roll of raw material.

[0011] With this configuration, the covering sheet and the stand sheet are formed as a single continuous part by cutting a single roll of raw material. As a result, the number of parts is reduced compared to when they are separate parts, making them easier to handle.

[0024] ≪First Embodiment≫ A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. Here, as shown in Figure 1, for convenience, we define front, back, left, right, top, and bottom. The front side is the front surface side of the exhibited sheet 20 (sheet laminate 10), and the back side is the back surface side of the exhibited sheet 20 (sheet laminate 10).

[0025] ≪Exhibition Unit Configuration≫ Exhibition Unit 1 is an exhibit that is displayed to visitors in an upright (self-supporting) state at events, etc. Exhibition Unit 1 comprises a sheet laminate 10 and a stand 50.

[0026] <Sheet Laminate> The sheet laminate 10 is a sheet-like laminate that can be wound into a roll (see Figure 6). The sheet laminate 10 comprises a display sheet 20, a front (surface) covering sheet 30, and a rear (back) covering sheet 40.

[0027] In other words, the sheet laminate 10 is made by laminating the sheet to be displayed 20 with a front covering sheet 30 and a rear covering sheet 40, and a lip 11 is formed on the outside of the sheet to be displayed 20 in the surface direction, where the covering sheets 30 and 40 are in close contact. The lip 11 has a predetermined width and is generally annular. That is, the sheet laminate 10 is a three-layer structure in which the sheet to be displayed 20 is sandwiched between two covering sheets 30 and 40. The width of the lip 11 can be freely changed as appropriate.

[0028] <Sheet Lamination - Exhibited Sheets> The exhibited sheet 20 is a sheet-like component that is the subject of the exhibit, with its front surface 21 being displayed to visitors. The exhibited sheet 20 is composed of, for example, paper or film on which a photograph or illustration (picture) is printed. In Figure 1, etc., the exhibited sheet 20 is schematically represented as a circle, but the shape of the exhibited sheet 20 can be freely changed as appropriate.

[0029] <Sheet Laminate - Covered Sheet> The front covering sheet 30 is a transparent sheet that covers and protects the front surface 21 of the display sheet 20. The rear covering sheet 40 is a transparent sheet that covers and protects the rear surface 22 of the display sheet 20. In addition, the covering sheets 30 and 40 increase the rigidity (strength) of the sheet laminate 10.

[0030] The covering sheets 30 and 40 are made of, for example, polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC), PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, or acrylic resin. The thickness of the covering sheets 30 and 40 is not particularly limited and can be freely changed as appropriate.

[0031] Such a sheet laminate 10 has moderate flexibility, and its form can be appropriately changed between a state where it is unfolded into a sheet (plate) for display (see Figures 1 to 4) and a state where it is wound into a roll for transport (see Figure 6).

[0032] <Stand> The stand 50 is a base that maintains the unfolded sheet laminate 10 (see Figures 1 to 4) in an upright (self-supporting) state. The stand 50 is made of the same material as the covering sheet 30 and the covering sheet 40.

[0033] The stand 50 comprises a slender base 51 extending upward from the central lower end of the rear covering sheet 40, a roughly right-angled triangular left side 52 extending to the rear from the left end of the base 51, and a roughly right-angled triangular right side 53 extending to the rear from the right end of the base 51. However, the shape of the stand 50 is not limited to this and can be freely changed as appropriate.

[0034] The stand 50 is constructed by appropriately folding (assembling) a stand sheet 55 (see Figure 5), which is sheet-like (plate-like) and has a base 51, a left side 52, and a right side 53. The lower end of the base 51 that constitutes the stand sheet 55 is continuous and integral with the central lower end of the covering sheet 40, and the covering sheet 40 and the stand sheet 55 are one part. This reduces the number of parts in the display unit 1 and prevents, for example, the loss of the stand 50. The covering sheet 40 and the stand sheet 55, which are one part, are formed by punching (cutting) a large single sheet of raw material 60 (so-called web). The stand sheet 55 (stand 50) may be made up of a single sheet, or it may be made up of multiple sheets stacked (laminated).

[0035] ≪Effects and benefits of the exhibition unit≫ Next, we will explain the effects and benefits of Exhibition Unit 1.

[0036] <At the time of exhibition> The display of display unit 1 is described below. The sheet laminate 10 is unfolded into a plate shape, and the assembled stand 50 supports the unfolded sheet laminate 10 from the rear. This allows the unfolded sheet laminate 10 to be maintained in an upright position.

[0037] <During transportation> The transportation of display unit 1 is described below. The stand 50 is unfolded into a flat shape to form the stand sheet 55. Next, the sheet laminate 10 and the stand sheet 55 are rolled up (see Figure 6). As a result, the sheet laminate 10 and stand sheet 55 are more compact than conventional display panels that have a polystyrene foam base plate, making them easy to transport and store.

[0038] ≪Variations≫ Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be modified as follows, for example, or may be appropriately combined with the configuration of the embodiments described later.

[0039] In the above-described embodiment, the sheet laminate 10 was shown as having a three-layer structure in which the sheet to be displayed 20 is sandwiched between two covering sheets 30 and 40, but other configurations are also possible. For example, the sheet laminate 10 may have a five-layer structure in which the sheet to be displayed 20 is sandwiched between two front covering sheets 30, 30 and two rear covering sheets 40, 40. In this case, the two front covering sheets 30, 30 may have different thicknesses. The same applies to the two rear covering sheets 40, 40.

[0040] Furthermore, the number of front covering sheets 30 and the number of rear covering sheets 40 may be different. Also, the sheet laminate 10 may be configured to cover only one side (front 21 or rear 22) of the sheet to be displayed 20.

[0041] In the above-described embodiment, the sheet laminate 10 is shown as having a configuration in which the sheet to be displayed 20 is pouched with a front covering sheet 30 and a rear covering sheet 40. However, for example, the sheet laminate 10 may also be configured in which the sheet to be displayed 20 is laminated with a front covering sheet 30 and a rear covering sheet 40, and does not have a tab 11.

[0042] In the embodiment described above, the stand 50 is shown as being continuous with the rear covering sheet 40 and forming a single component. However, for example, the stand 50 and the covering sheet 40 may be configured as separate, independent components.

[0043] ≪The 1 Reference Form≫ This invention 1 Reference The morphology will be explained with reference to Figures 7 and 8.

[0044] ≪Exhibition Unit Configuration≫ The display unit 100 comprises a base sheet 110, a display layer 120, a backing sheet 130, and a stand 150.

[0045] <Base Sheet> The base sheet 110 is a sheet-like member that can be rolled up. The base sheet 110 has the same configuration as the covering sheet 30 and covering sheet 40 described above.

[0046] <Exhibition layer> The display layer 120 is a display layer located on the front surface 111 of the base sheet 110, and is displayed to visitors. The display layer 120 is formed, for example, by UV printing images, illustrations, etc., onto the front surface 111 of the base sheet 110. UV printing is a printing method in which UV printing ink is instantly cured and dried by irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light. In the surface direction, the display layer 120 has substantially the same shape (substantially the same outer edge) as the base sheet 110.

[0047] <Backing sheet> The backing sheet 130 is provided on the rear surface 112 (back surface) of the base sheet 110 and is a sheet that increases the rigidity of the base sheet 110. The backing sheet 130 has the same configuration as the covering sheet 30 and covering sheet 40 described above.

[0048] In the planar direction, the outer edge 135 of the backing sheet 130 is smaller than the outer edge 115 of the base sheet 110. As a result, the backing sheet 130 is less visible from the front, improving the aesthetics (design) of the display unit 100.

[0049] <Stand> Stand 150 has the same configuration as Stand 50 described above. That is, Stand 150 comprises a base 151, a left side 152, and a right side 153. Stand 150 is constructed by appropriately folding (assembling) the stand sheet 155 (see Figure 8). The lower end of the base 151 that constitutes the stand sheet 155 is continuous with the central lower end of the backing sheet 130, and the backing sheet 130 and the stand sheet 155 are a single part.

[0050] ≪Effects and benefits of the exhibition unit≫ Next, we will explain the effects and benefits of the display unit 100.

[0051] <At the time of exhibition> The display unit 100 is described below. The base sheet 110 and backing sheet 130 are unfolded into a board shape, and the assembled stand 150 supports the unfolded base sheet 110, etc. from the rear. This allows the unfolded base sheet 110, etc. to be maintained in an upright position.

[0052] <During transportation> The transportation of the display unit 100 is described below. The stand 150 is unfolded into a flat shape to form the stand sheet 155. Next, the base sheet 110 and backing sheet 130 and the stand sheet 155 are stacked together and rolled up. As a result, compared to conventional display panels that have a polystyrene foam base plate, the base sheet 110 and backing sheet 130 are compact and can be easily transported and stored.

[0053] ≪Variations≫ In the embodiment described above, the display layer 120 is exemplified as being UV printed on the front surface 111 of the base sheet 110. However, other configurations are also possible, for example, in which a sheet of paper or film with a photograph or illustration (picture) is attached to the front surface 111 of the base sheet 110.

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the base sheet 110 was exemplified as being, for example, a single polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet, but other configurations are also possible, for example, in which multiple polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheets are stacked on top of each other.

[0055] In addition to the embodiments described above, the front side of the display layer 120 may be covered by the covering sheet 30.

[0056] ≪The 2 References Form≫ This invention 2 References The morphology will be explained with reference to Figures 9 and 10.

[0057] ≪Exhibition Unit Configuration≫ The display unit 200 comprises a baseboard 210, a display sheet 220, and a stand 230.

[0058] <Baseboard> The baseboard 210 is a foldable, thin plate-like member, and is made of, for example, expanded polystyrene board. In this embodiment, the baseboard 210 comprises three baseboard pieces 211 and tapes 212 connecting adjacent baseboard pieces 211. That is, the baseboard 210 is divided into three baseboard pieces 211.

[0059] As a result, the baseboard piece 211 can be folded using the tape 212 as a joint. Therefore, by folding the baseboard 210 to make it compact, the display unit 200 can be easily transported. It is preferable that the tape 212 be placed on the valley side (inside) of the folding line. Alternatively, a cut of about 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 in the thickness (depth) direction may be formed in the polystyrene foam board, and this cut may be used as the folding line. Furthermore, adjacent baseboard pieces 211, 211 may be connected with hinges, and the unit may be made foldable with hinges. The number of connected baseboard pieces 211 can be freely changed as appropriate.

[0060] In its unfolded state, the outer edge 215 of the baseboard 210 is smaller than the outer edge 225 of the display sheet 220. This makes the baseboard 210 less visible from the front, enhancing the aesthetics (design) of the display unit 200. In addition, the rear corners of the baseboard 210 (baseboard piece 211) are chamfered and rounded. This makes the rear corners less susceptible to damage and also prevents injuries to those transporting the display unit 200.

[0061] <Exhibition Sheet> The display sheet 220 is provided on the front surface 213 of the baseboard 210 and is a sheet member that is the object of display and can be rolled up. The upper part of the rear surface 214 of the display sheet 220 is attached (fixed) to the uppermost baseboard piece 211. The display sheet 220 has the same configuration as the display sheet 20 described above.

[0062] <Stand> Stand 230 has the same configuration as stand 50 described above. That is, the base 231 of stand 23 is fixed to the rear surface 214 of baseboard 210.

[0063] ≪Effects and benefits of the exhibition unit≫ This section explains the effects and benefits of display unit 200.

[0064] <At the time of exhibition> The display unit 200 is described below. The baseboard 210 is unfolded and supported by the stand 230. Then, the display sheet 220 is unfolded on the front surface 213 of the baseboard 210 to complete the display unit 200.

[0065] <During transportation> The transportation of the display unit 200 is described below. The baseboard 210 becomes compact by folding the three baseboard pieces 211 with tape 212. Also, the display sheet 220 becomes compact by rolling it up into a roll. In this way, the display unit 200 becomes compact, making it easy to transport and store.

[0066] ≪Variations≫ In the above-described embodiment, a configuration in which the baseboard 210 is a polystyrene foam board was illustrated, but other configurations are also possible, for example, in which the baseboard 210 is a corrugated cardboard board, or in which three pieces of corrugated cardboard board are connected in a foldable manner.
