It is a conceptual diagram explaining the structure outline | summary of the pin cap concerning 3rd embodiment. It is a conceptual diagram explaining the structure outline | summary of the pin cap concerning 4th embodiment. It is a figure explaining the outline of composition of the conventional pin cap. (A) is a diagram illustrating an example in which four pin caps are attached to a stage curtain or curtain, and an arrow-shaped marker that is visible to the audience and stage performers is formed by connecting the pin caps with a guide string. In (b), 15 pin caps were attached to stage curtains and curtains at relatively small intervals in the shape of arrows, and light-emitting diodes were lit even in the dark to form overall arrow-shaped markers that were visible to the audience and stage performers. It is a figure explaining an example.

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an outline of the configuration of a pin cap 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the pin cap 200 includes an outer case 210 and a filler 220 filled therein. In the following description, the pin is not limited to a thumbtack, and includes other locking parts having a sharp needle tip such as a nail, an insect pin, and a waiting needle.

  The outer case 210 is formed of a relatively hard material that can maintain and maintain the outer shape of a plastic material or the like. On the other hand, the filler 220 is formed of a material such as a silicon resin or a rubber material that can be repeatedly inserted and removed, and is typically formed of a gel material.

  Since the filler 220 is made of a gel material, the needle tip of the pin 100 can be easily inserted into the filler 220 through the opening of the outer case 210. Further, the filler 220 generates an appropriate frictional force with the needle tip of the inserted pin 200 and holds the pin 200 so that it does not fall out regardless of its direction.

  Preferably, the filler 220 can be prevented from falling off due to its own weight even when the pin 100 is directed vertically downward due to the maximum static frictional force generated by the interaction with the insertion site of the pin 100.

  As a result, the pin cap 200 not only protects the needle tip of the pin 100, but can also reduce the risk of harm to the human body. Further, the pin 100 and the pin cap 200 may be used such that cloth, curtains, clothes, etc. are sandwiched between the pin 100 and the pin cap 200. The pin cap 200 may be a marker indicating a temporary fixing position, It can be used as a mark or various indicators for the viewer.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a configuration outline of the pin cap 300 according to the second embodiment. As can be understood from FIG. 2, the outer case 310 of the pin cap is filled with a filler 320, and a strap, a guide string or the like is inserted and locked at the opposite end of the opening into which the pin is inserted. An arm 330 is provided that can be provided.

  The arm 330 can be integrally formed of the same material as the outer case 310. The arm 330 forms a through hole 340 between the arm 330 and the outer case main body, and a guide string or the like can be inserted into the through hole 340.

  For example, if the pin caps of the second embodiment are attached to a plurality of arbitrary locations on the stage curtain in a theater, the attached pin caps are connected with guide strings, and a pattern of an arbitrary shape is drawn on the stage curtain. It is also possible.

  In addition, the connected guide string forms guide arrows and mark shapes that are visible to the performers and spectators on the stage, and can be used as markings that indicate a predetermined position on the stage or as a means for notifying the audience of location information It is. On the stage curtain, it is possible to turn on and display signs, landmarks, arrows, arbitrary marks, etc. of desired shapes to the audience and stage performers.

  FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the outline of the configuration of the pin cap 400 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the pin cap including the outer case 410 and the filler 420 filled therein further includes a light emitter 450 therein.

  In FIG. 3, the lower half of the outer case 410 is removed to show the perspective view for the purpose of explaining the light emitter 450. The light emitter 450 may preferably be a light emitting diode. In addition, a storage battery 440 for supplying power to the light emitter 450 is provided. The storage battery 440 is preferably a small and lightweight secondary battery such as a button battery.

  In the third embodiment, the outer case 410 made of plastic or the like is made of a transparent or translucent material that transmits light of the light emitter 450 such as an LED at least to the extent that it can be seen by a viewer. Further, preferably, the filler 420 formed of a silicon resin or a rubber material is also formed of a transparent or translucent material that can transmit light from the light emitter 450.

  The light emitter 450 and the storage battery 440 may be included so as to be embedded in the filler 420 at the deepest portion of the outer case 410, and the light emitter is attached to a locking portion (not shown) provided on the inner wall of the outer case 450. 450 may be locked and fixed.

  FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the outline of the configuration of the pin cap according to the fourth embodiment. In FIG. 4, the description of the filler 520 is partially omitted. The light emitter 550 disposed inside the outer case 510 is turned on when electricity is supplied from the storage battery 540 by the switch 560 that is turned on when the pin 500 is inserted.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the switch 560 may be of a type that is turned on by a pressing operation of the tip of the pin 500, or may be of a type in which the tip of the pin 500 bypasses the current by the inserted pin 500. In general, a conductive material is often used for the pin 500. In this case, the pin tip can mediate electricity by using a bypass type, so that electrical conduction can be completed. In other words, the switch can be configured so that both ends of the open wiring can be electrically connected to each other when the pin is inserted when the pin is not inserted.

  FIG. 6A shows an arrow shape that is visible to the audience and stage performers by attaching four pin caps 300 (1) to 300 (4) to a stage curtain or curtain and connecting them with a guide string 610. FIG. 6B is a diagram for explaining an example in which a marker is formed. FIG. 6B shows a case where 15 pin caps 400 (1) to 400 (15) are attached to a stage curtain or curtain in an arrow shape at relatively small intervals. However, it is a figure explaining the example which formed the arrow-shaped marker as a whole which can be visually recognized by a spectator or a stage performer by lighting of a light emitting diode.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the pin caps 300, 400, etc. themselves are small and light, and are easy to carry and store. On the other hand, a relatively large marker etc. can be easily configured at a marker display site such as a theater. It becomes possible. In addition, the display structure can be easily visually recognized even at night or during the performance by the light emitting diode.

  In particular, in the case of a temporary theater that assumes movement such as a special stage, an arena concert, or an outdoor concert, it is necessary to embed a fixed marker in the wall of the building, such as a concert hall in a fixed building. I don't get used to it. Large sign boards are not easy to carry and store. By using a plurality of pin caps proposed in the present embodiment, it is possible to easily form even relatively large arbitrary-shaped signs and markers, and the burden on carrying and storage can be extremely reduced. . In addition, if it is attached to a stage curtain, etc., the desired marker can be seen only by either the performer or the audience separated by the stage curtain. Very useful for display. In addition, since the light emitting diode can emit light only when it is mounted, waste of the battery can be reduced.

  The pin cap and the lighting method of each embodiment described above are not limited to the description in each embodiment described above, and the shape, structure, and usage can be appropriately changed within a self-evident range. , Can be combined as appropriate within the obvious range.
