DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display panel suitably used for providing a display wall such as a painting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a picture exhibition is held in a large venue, it is essential to use a central space because the wall area of the venue is limited. Conventionally, a large number of panels of one type, which are basic structural units, are prepared and connected to each other, so that the panel surface is continuously developed at the center of the venue to freely configure the display wall. Display panels that can be used have been developed and are being used.

[0003]

By the way, the panel conventionally used as a basic structural unit of the display panel is as follows.
As shown in FIG. 25, auxiliary panel elements b are arranged at right and left sides of the main panel element a at right angles to each other in an H shape in plan view, and the main panel element a and the auxiliary panel element b are hinged so as to be foldable. As shown in FIG. 26, auxiliary panel elements d are arranged at right and left sides of the main panel element c in a U-shape in plan view, and the main panel element c and the auxiliary panel element d are hinged so as to be foldable. Depending on.

However, if the display panel is composed of only such basic structural unit panels, in the case of FIG. 25, there is a disadvantage that the auxiliary panel element b overlaps in the connecting direction between the main panel elements a, a. Even the main panel element c,
There is a disadvantage that the auxiliary panel element d overlaps in the connecting direction between the points c. For this reason, there is a problem that the space factor is reduced due to bulkiness, and there is an inconvenience that the use of the auxiliary panel element unnecessarily increases the cost and weight. In addition, since the U-shaped panel easily falls down to the rear side, there is a drawback that the panel lacks independence which is indispensable for this type of panel.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27, an auxiliary panel element f is hinged to one side edge of the main panel element e in a T-shape in plan view, and a half-width auxiliary panel g is mounted on the other side edge in plan view L. It is considered that a panel hinged in a letter shape is used as a basic structural unit. According to this panel, when the next panel is invertedly arranged on the side of the first panel, the half-width auxiliary panels g are joined together to form one auxiliary panel by joining the side edges. The superimposition of the auxiliary panel in the direction can be avoided.

However, also in this panel, when the third and subsequent panels are arranged, the auxiliary panels f and f overlap with each other, so that various problems caused by bulkiness are essentially eliminated. You don't get it.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and has been made in consideration of the independence of the panel , the assembling / disassembling function, and the yield.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a display panel in which a problem in which an auxiliary panel is overlapped between panels when panels are arranged side by side is preferably eliminated without impairing a delivery function .

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

That is, the display panel of the present invention includes a single basic panel and a plurality of expansion panels detachably connected to each other via a connecting mechanism, and the basic panel is a main panel element. Auxiliary panel elements are arranged orthogonally to the H shape in plan view on both side edges of the main panel element and the auxiliary panel elements are hinged so as to be foldable via a butterfly mechanism, and the expansion panel is An auxiliary panel element is arranged at one side edge of the main panel element at right angles in a T-shape in plan view, and the main panel element and the auxiliary panel element are hinged so as to be foldable via a butterfly mechanism. . Then, between the basic panel and the expansion panel and between the expansion panels,
Sequentially connected in the plane direction of the main panel element via the connection mechanism ,
Exhibits divided into a U-shape in plan view on both sides of the main panel element
It is characterized in that a large number of areas are continuously provided .

As another configuration of the basic panel and the expansion panel, there is an embodiment in which an auxiliary panel element is orthogonally arranged in a T-shape in plan view on one side edge of the main panel element.

In still another configuration of the basic panel and the expansion panel, the basic panel has an auxiliary panel element arranged on one side edge of the main panel element at right angles in a T-shape in plan view and a half-width auxiliary panel element on the other side edge. Panel elements are arranged orthogonally in an L-shape in plan view, and the expansion panel has an auxiliary panel element having a half width on one side edge of the main panel element orthogonally arranged in an L-shape in plan view and a half-width auxiliary panel element on the other side edge. There is an embodiment in which the auxiliary panel elements are orthogonally arranged in an inverted L shape in plan view.

In order to reliably connect the panels with a simple structure, it is desirable to employ a buckle in the connection mechanism.

To stabilize the self-sustaining state of the panel,
It is effective to provide a lock mechanism for fixing the auxiliary panel element to the main panel element in a state where the main panel element and the auxiliary panel element are arranged orthogonally.

[0014]

In such a configuration, the basic panel and the expansion panel have a plan view H-shape, a T-shape, a so-called Z-shape composed of a combination of an L-shape and an inverted L-shape, and a so-called J-shape composed of a combination of a T-shape and an L-shape. The main panel element has an extended portion of the auxiliary panel element on either the front side or the rear side of the main panel element. Therefore, when placed on the floor,
Separate front and rear sides with auxiliary panel elements
Many highly-exhibitive display areas are formed with extremely high efficiency
In addition, the inclination of the main panel element toward the front side and the rear side is reliably supported by the auxiliary panel element, and the panel has independence indispensable as this type of panel.

According to the present invention, at a position adjacent to the panel, an auxiliary panel element is attached to a side edge of one panel in a T shape and an auxiliary panel element is not attached to an adjacent side edge of the other panel. Alternatively, a half-width auxiliary panel may be attached to the adjacent side edges of both panels in an L-shape or inverted L-shape, respectively. For this reason, when the expansion panels are connected to the side of the basic panel, only one auxiliary panel element exists at the position adjacent to each panel, or the half-width auxiliary panels have their side edges attached to each other. Thus, the presence of one auxiliary panel prevents the auxiliary panel elements from overlapping in the connection direction.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the extension panel is added to the side of the basic panel, the total number of auxiliary panel elements used can be reliably reduced as compared with the conventional case.

Of course, since each panel is hinged between the main panel element and the auxiliary panel element via the butterfly mechanism, a compact storage mode is realized by folding.

[0018]
