Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a character display sheet that can easily display desired characters.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, when displaying desired characters, for example, when displaying the price of a product in a store, supermarket, etc., a price tag is attached to each product, and a predetermined price display card is attached to each product. It is common to write the price of a product with a writing instrument on the display shelf, and to display the price by fixing it with thumbtacks or adhesive tape on each product display shelf.

However, depending on the type of product whose price is displayed, there may be special sales of perishable foods whose prices are likely to fluctuate depending on various factors such as purchase quantity and harvest quality, and service goods with limited sales dates and times. When doing so, it is necessary to rewrite the price on the price display card every time the price changes or every time there is a special sale, which takes time and effort to create the price display card.
Not only was this inconvenient, but it also hindered operations such as purchasing management, inventory management, displaying products, and aggregating sales proceeds.

Furthermore, if the handwriting of the person filling out the price display card differs, the shapes and sizes of the displayed characters will vary, resulting in an unsightly appearance and, at times, the inconvenience of misreading the displayed characters.

In addition, in the courier service business, which has become popular in recent years, carriers have set up their own classification codes for each shipping area according to the destination address written on the delivery slip attached to the delivered item, and have classified the items using a writing instrument in a designated section of the delivery slip. We aim to make delivery operations smoother by entering codes, but when the number of delivered items is concentrated depending on the time of year, the characters of the classification codes entered become jumbled and difficult to decipher. This has caused various inconveniences, such as making it difficult to read and causing mis-delivery due to mis-reading.

In addition, the above-mentioned problems should be solved not only in price display cards and delivery slips, but also in general display sheets that function by displaying desired numbers and symbols, such as seat tickets and number tickets for examinations. This was the problem.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The object of this invention is to provide a character display sheet that can express desired characters simply and easily, and in a unified and orderly manner.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, this invention
A character display part is provided on the front side of the sheet, and a coloring agent is applied to the character display part in the shape of a segmented font, so that the position of each segment making up the segmented font can be visually recognized. do.

[Function] The character display sheet of this invention is provided with a character display portion on the front side of the sheet, a normally colorless coloring agent is applied to the character display portion in the shape of a segmented font, and the segmented font is configured. Since the position of each segment is formed so that it can be visually recognized, a coloring dye is applied to the normally colorless coloring agent applied in the shape of a segment typeface, and the coloring agent and coloring dye are allowed to react. Therefore, desired characters can be easily expressed by developing a desired color tone.

Further, various types of characters can be expressed by the combination of the segments forming the segment typeface.

[Example] Next, an explanation will be given based on an example in which the character display sheet of this invention is used as a price display card that is displayed together with products on a display shelf in a store to display prices.

1 and 2 are surface plan views of the character display sheet of this invention, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of the usage state of this invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the character display sheet 1 of this invention has four character display areas 3 on the front side of the sheet 2, and a colorless coloring agent 4 is applied to the character display areas 3. Segments 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5
It is applied in the form of a segmented typeface 5 consisting of e, 5f, and 5g, and the form of the segmented typeface 5 is indicated by dotted outline printing 6, so that it can be distinguished from the non-coloring agent-applied area of the sheet, The segment typeface 5 is configured to be visible.

Note that the sheet 2 that constitutes the character display sheet 1
In addition to high-quality paper, the material may be synthetic paper, synthetic resin sheet, etc., and it is preferable that the surface side has excellent printability and has good fixation properties when applied with printing ink or coloring agent 4, and the character display to be provided on the surface side. Regarding the number of parts 3, it is convenient to prepare several types of character representation sheets in the required number depending on the business application in which the character representation sheet 1 is used.

In addition, the coloring agent 4 applied to the character display area 3
For this purpose, activated clay, clay minerals such as bentonite or kaolin, or organic acidic substances such as phenol formaldehyde polymers prepared with binders and auxiliaries such as SBR may be used.

Note that the segment typeface used in this specification is a typeface in which characters of a predetermined form, such as numbers 0 to 9, alphanumeric characters, etc., are broken down into segments (partial sections) and subdivided.

In addition, in order to make the segment typeface 5 visible, each segment 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5
The outline printing 6 provided on e, 5f, and 5g may be a thin solid line or various chain lines, and may be printed by some printing means so that it can be identified without being noticeable from the surface of the sheet 2. Bye.

Further, it is convenient to provide printing 10 of ¥, product name, etc. on the front side of the character display sheet 1 for easy visual recognition, if necessary.

FIG. 2 is a surface plan view of the character display sheet 1 of this invention, and is an embodiment in which the form of each segment 5a to 5g of the segment typeface 5 is made visible without relying on the outline printing 6.

In this embodiment, the coloring agent 4 applied inside the character display area 3 is colored differently from the background color of the sheet 2, such as a piece of paper or a synthetic resin sheet, which is the base of the character display sheet 1. After mixing pigments or colored dyes in advance to make them less noticeable,
The colored coloring agent 4 is applied to the segment typeface 5 to make it visible.

Next, the method of using the character display sheet 1 of this invention will be explained based on FIG. 3, taking as an example the case where it is used as a price display card.

First, when the character display sheet 1 is used as a price display card, the creator of the price display card prepares a character display sheet with a number of character display parts 3 that matches the number of digits of the price to be displayed. Select 1,
If you want to display a number in a predetermined format, for example, the number "5", using the dotted lines as the outline printing 6 of each segment 5a to 5g of the segment typeface 5 in each character display section 3 as a guide, 5a, 5b, 5
Color-forming dye solution 7 is applied to each segment c, 5d, and 5e.

As a result, each of the segments 5a to 5e coated with the color-forming dye solution 7 develops color due to a color-forming reaction between the color-forming agent 4 and the color-forming dye of the color-forming dye solution 7.
Characters in the form of "5" appear in the character display section 3. The above operation is repeated for the number of character display parts 3 to display desired characters on all the character display parts 3 to complete the price display card.

The character display sheet 1 on which characters are displayed in this way is displayed on a display shelf together with the products for which the price is to be displayed, and can perform a character display function with orderly and uniform characters. .

Note that the color-forming dye solution 7 refers to colorless color-forming dyes such as chlorinated diphenyl, alkylated diphenyl,
It is dissolved in synthetic or natural oils such as chlorinated naphthalene, kerosene, paraffin, and naphthenic oil, and adjusted with a binder.The color tone also includes crystal violet lactone (blue), rhodamine-b-lactone (red), A desired color tone can be developed by using auramine lactone (yellow type) dye. In this case,
It is convenient to use the color-forming dye solution 7 by impregnating a core material with excellent impregnating properties, such as felt, in advance and forming it into a pen shape.

Furthermore, the form of the segments constituting the segmented typeface 5 of the character display sheet 1 of this invention is expressed by being configured as a square shape as shown in Fig. 4 or as a collection of small circles as shown in Fig. 5. It is also possible to do so.

[Effects] As mentioned above, the character display sheet of this invention has the following effects:
A character display part is provided on the front side of the sheet, a coloring agent is applied to the character display part in a segmented font shape,
In addition, since the position of each segment constituting the segment typeface is formed so that it can be visually recognized, a color-forming dye solution is applied to the coloring agent applied to the segment typeface, and the color-forming dye of the color-forming dye solution is mixed with the color-forming dye of the color-forming dye solution. By reacting with a coloring agent, desired characters can be displayed simply and easily, the time and effort of creating character display cards can be saved, and business efficiency can be further improved.

In addition, since the coloring agent in the character display area is applied in a visible manner in the shape of a segmented typeface, the combination of each segment that makes up the segmented typeface allows for the desired form of characters to be expressed and to be visually recognized. Simply apply a color-forming dye solution to the desired segment and color it.
Regardless of differences in the handwriting of the person who created the character representation sheet, or changes in the amount of character representation sheets created, the characters can always be represented in an orderly and uniform font, improving the appearance and preventing misreading.
