Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a pen stand with a destination display function.

Conventionally, the following two methods have been proposed as specific examples of this type. A pointer type that allows you to see all destination names from the outside and points to one of them. All destination names are hidden, and only one of them appears in the window leading to the outside. Among these, the more common configuration mentioned above is ``a window is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the pen stand,
By writing a plurality of destination names on a rotatable body placed inside the window, or by fixing a piece of paper with the names written on it by an appropriate means, and rotating the body by hand, you can One destination name will appear in the window above. However, these conventional products each have advantages and disadvantages for those viewing the destination and those performing the operation (hereinafter referred to as "setting"). In this method, when setting the destination, you can immediately select the name of the destination you want to go to, but the viewer has to search for a guide to the destination name that has been set among all the destination names, and it is difficult to see at first glance. It is difficult to distinguish it from other destination names. In the other method, only the set destination name appears in the display window, so
Although it is impossible to confuse the destination names with other destination names, the person setting the destination must memorize them all, or else make a list of all the destination names, as they cannot be seen from the outside. Supplementary measures are required, such as posting it in a place where it can be easily seen.

This invention aims to improve the shortcomings of these conventional products,
This is a pen stand with a destination display that is easier to use, and its purpose is (1) to make all destination names visible from the outside despite using the display window method described above, and (2) to make the display window visible. The reason is that the direction can be changed according to the position of the viewer.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the main part sectional view of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

The base 1 is integral with the cylinder 11, and the cylinder 1
A display window 13 is provided at one corner of the peripheral wall 1. The rotating body 2 includes an inner cylinder 22 having a bottom 23 that functions as a pen stand, an outer cylinder 21 made of a transparent material connected to this at the upper part, a collar 26 and an operation plate 28 to be described later.
The cylinder 11 of the base 1 is interposed between the two cylinders 21 and 22 with constant distances a, b, and c. The display tube 4 is made of general-purpose paper and has a display window 1.
Divide the vertical direction of the surface facing 3 into equal parts according to the number of destinations, write the name of each destination on each division band created by this, and then write this on the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 22 as shown in Figure 1. It is wrapped and fixed with transparent tape. In this embodiment, destination names in the case of eight destination names are shown, and the destination names are expressed by numbers "1" to "8". In the diagram,
Among them, the destination name "1" is appearing on the display window 13. The destination name written on the display tube 4 is for communicating the destination to the person viewing the destination, and will be referred to as the "transmission side destination name." The display ring 5 is also made of general-purpose paper, and is fixed to the lower side of a transparent collar 26 extending outward from the lower end of the outer cylinder 21 by an appropriate means such as fitting. The circumference is equally divided by the number of all destinations, and the same individual destination names as on the display cylinder 4 are also written here. Therefore, this destination name can be visually seen from the outside through the transparent collar 26. This destination name is for the person setting it to see, and will be referred to as the "set destination name." The operation plate 28 is connected to the tsuba 26
The circumference of the collar 26 is equally divided and the same number of destinations are arranged. A retaining ring 6 made of rubber or the like is inserted into the groove 19 of the base 1, and comes in contact with a desk top (not shown) to prevent the base 1 from rotating as a whole. The set screw 7 having a knurled knob has a shaft 25 protruding from the bottom 23 of the inner cylinder 22.
It is screwed into the female thread 24 of. The label 8 is provided to determine the front position of the product, and is fixed to the cylinder 12 of the base 1. The rotating body 2 is rotatable by loosely fitting the integral shaft 25 into a hole 15 formed in the center of the base 1 and riding on the sliding member 3. Illustrated symbols a to f are used to prevent the rotating body 2 from coming into contact with other parts when rotating.

In the above configuration, the pen P is placed against the inner cylinder 22. When setting a destination, the user selects the desired destination name from the display ring 5 in which the set destination names are written, puts his hand on the operation panel 28, and turns the rotating body 2. Then, the display cylinder 4 rotates together with the pen P placed thereon, so that the transmission side destination names written here appear in the display window 13 one after another. This destination name can be visually seen from the outside through the transparent material of the outer tube 21, so when the previously selected destination name appears in the display window 13, it is only necessary to stop.

Next, the point that the direction of the display window 13 can be changed will be explained.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1, and shows the display window 1.
3 is the same as the front direction of this embodiment product. In the figure, the numbers ~ between the outermost arrows indicate the transmission side destination names "1" to "8" written on the display cylinder 4, and in the example shown, the destination name "1" is This is what appears on the display window 13.
The surface on which the label 8 is located is defined as the front when viewed from the direction of the white arrow mark in the figure, and the display window 13 is located in the same direction. Therefore, if you set a destination from the front, the result will appear right in front of the person who set it.

However, since the purpose of the destination is to communicate the destination to others, using it in this way causes some inconvenience. For example, if the desk on which this product is placed is facing the people to whom you wish to convey the name of the destination, and if the upper part of Fig. 2 is the direction, then the important display window 13 is 180 It is in the direction of 3 degrees and cannot be seen at all. Although it is only necessary to turn the entire product 180 degrees after setting it,
Next time I set it up, I would have to get up from my seat and go to the front of the desk, or I would have to turn the product 180 degrees back.

The present invention is an attempt to solve these drawbacks, and the front position of this embodiment is always constant, and the direction of the display window 13 can also be directed in other directions. A specific example will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3A, B, and C. The line row common to A, B, and C in the figure indicates the front position of the present product, and the △ mark indicates the direction of the display window 13, respectively. Further, the illustration of the display tube 4 is omitted, and the destination name on the transmission side written here is indicated by the numbers ~ in circles. As described above, the present invention has a display tube 4 on the transmission side and a display ring 5 on the set side, each of which has the same destination name written on it, the former on the inner tube 22 and the latter on the collar 26.
Since the structure is such that it is fixed to both sides, it is only necessary to shift the positional relationship when fixing either one of them. First, figure A
shows a state in which the front position and the direction of the display window 13 are 180 degrees, and the transmission side destination name "1" appears on the display window 13. As is clear from the figure, the label 8 is pasted at a position 180 degrees from the display window 13,
Next, when the set side destination name "1" of the display ring 5 comes to the front position, the display tube 4 may be fixed so that the transmission side destination name "1" comes to the display window 13. As a result, each destination name on the sender and setter is always
Since they rotate together while maintaining a positional relationship shifted by 180 degrees, the other destination names "2" to "8" also match with a shift of 180 degrees. The figure B is
This is an example in which the display window 13 is at 90 degrees to the left, and C is at 90 degrees to the right, both of which show a state in which the destination name "1" is set.

In this figure, the case where the display window 13 can be moved in three directions has been described above, but in the illustrated example, it can be seen that a total of eight directions are possible. That is, according to this configuration, the direction of the display window 13 can be changed by the number of destination names. As described above, the present invention has sufficiently achieved the intended purpose, and also has the following effects. Both the display tube 4 and the display ring 5 are made of general-purpose paper and can be easily made by the user himself. Commercially available adhesive tape can be used to secure it, so no special parts are required when changing the destination name. The current position of the set-side destination name written on the display ring 5 can be seen from the outside. Therefore, the shortest distance at the time of setting, that is, the selection of whether to rotate the transmission side destination name written on the display tube 4 clockwise or counterclockwise can be made instantly. Since the destination name on the set side that appears in front and the destination name on the transmitting side that appears in the display window 13 are the same destination name, there is no need to look into the display window 13 each time to check the destination name that has been set. This is particularly effective when changing the direction of the display window 13 as explained in FIG. 3.

Note that the following method can also be used to display the destination name.

In case a sudden or fragmented destination occurs, write ``Memo'' as one of the destination names, and make a promise to ``see the memo'' when this message appears. put. The memo may be placed against the pen along with the pen, but it is better to divide the inner cylinder 22 into two large and small rooms, and use the smaller one as a storage space exclusively for the memo. Furthermore, the transmission side destination name and the set side destination name do not necessarily have to be exactly the same name. The latter is essentially an index of the former, so as long as the person who sets it understands it, there is no problem with abbreviations or codes.

Although the present invention has been described above as a destination display, it is of course not limited to this and can be applied to other similar uses.
