Description

Device which can dispaly multiple images using the label of CD case}

The present invention divides and prints a plurality of images on a label fitted to a cover of a CD case and moves a label to compose an image of a specific image through a screen enlargement means, thereby inducing interest to the user and associated with the CD content. The present invention relates to a multi-image display apparatus using a label of a CD case that can display contents and thus enhance an advertisement effect and an information providing effect.

Compact discs (CDs) or DVDs (hereinafter referred to as "CDs") are widely used as storage media (audio CDs and data CDs) for music and video because of their large data storage functions. In the case of audio and music videos, a label printed with a photo is attached to a case containing a CD for advertisement of a singer or a group. In the case of movie CDs, the actor's face or impressive scenes in the movie are printed and attached. However, these labels are simple photographs and do not change, and thus fail to induce the curiosity of the users of the labels.

In addition, in the CD case, the outer surface is limited to two surfaces of the surface and the rear surface, so that labels are manufactured in the form of several sheets to provide various information, but it causes inconvenience in use. For example, in order to view the lyrics of a song contained in the audio CD, a user must open the cover of the CD case, remove the label, and expand it to find the lyrics of the desired song. In the case of the data CD, it is preferable that the user can easily find the type or index of the contents contained in the data CD. However, the data CD can be confirmed only after the label is removed from the CD case. Accordingly, there is a demand for a CD case that may cause interest to a user who purchases a CD, and also allows a user to easily check the contents stored in the CD.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to divide and print a plurality of images on a label fitted to a cover of a CD case, and to move a label to compose an image of a specific image through a screen enlargement means. In addition, the present invention provides a multi-image display device using a label of a CD case that can induce interest to a user and display content related to a CD content, thereby enhancing an advertisement effect and an information providing effect.

In order to achieve the above object, the multi-image display apparatus using the label of the CD case of the present invention is installed on the cover 12 of the CD case 10, and a convex portion 14a is formed on the upper portion and a flat portion (on the lower portion). A lens unit 14 in which a plurality of lenses in which 14b) is formed are adjacently installed; A plurality of images movably fixed to the lower portion of the lens unit 14 and divided so as to completely display one image selected through the plurality of convex portions 14a of the lens unit 14 according to the moving state of the image combining unit; Image combining unit 16 in which the pieces are combined sequentially; A space cutout 18 formed on the fixing part 11 of the CD case 10 so that one end of the image coupling part 16 is exposed to the outside; And a base 22 provided with a moving means for moving the image coupler 16 exposed through the space cutout 18.

According to another feature of the present invention, instead of automatic operation, there is provided a moving unit formed in the image combining unit so as to display various images or information by manual operation of the user.

Hereinafter, a multi-image display apparatus using a label of a CD case of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view of a multi-image display device according to the present invention. As illustrated, a plurality of images are divided and printed with a CD case 10 having a label (collectively referred to as an “image combining unit”), and the CD case 10 is accommodated to move a plurality of images combining unit. The base 22 is configured to display images sequentially. In the drawing, the still image of the butterfly is displayed through the lens unit, but the images printed on the image combining unit are combined and printed in a fragmented state, respectively, so that it is impossible to accurately identify the naked eye.

A lens unit (not shown) having a plurality of convex portions is attached to the inside of the cover of the CD case 10 to enlarge and display the image printed on the image combining unit when the image is displayed on the outside. The image printed on the image combining part of the CD case 10 is moved at a constant speed by a moving means (not shown) provided in the base 22. As the image combiner is moved by the moving means, another image is displayed after the complete image is displayed for a predetermined time.

The image displayed is either an image representing any continuous motion or an independent image. An example of a series of images could be a series of pitches for a baseball player, or a butterfly or bird flying away. For example, the faces of the singers or the members of the group may be sequentially displayed. It is apparent that the base 22 can be manufactured in various forms as well as the shape of the wine glass shown in the drawing.

The CD case 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the plan view of FIG. 2 and the cutaway view of FIG. 3.

As shown, the CD case 10 of the present invention is similar to a CD case used in the related art, and a lens portion 14 having a plurality of lenses formed in a vertical direction is attached to the inside of the cover 12, and the cover 12. ), A space cutout 18 is formed at the center of the fixing portion 11 to rotatably fix the. The lens unit 14 is used to enlarge and display images (pictures) printed on labels so that a user can visually recognize them. In addition, the space cutout 18 is formed such that one end of the label is exposed. The cam (26 in FIG. 3) of the moving means provided in the base 22 through the space cutout 18 contacts the exposed end of the image coupling part 16 to move the image coupling part 16.

3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 2, and shows the lens unit 14 located inside the cover 12 and the image combining unit 16 located below the lens unit 14. The CD 32 is fixed to the lower portion of the image combiner 16 as in the prior art. In addition, a space cutout 18 is formed at the center of the fixing portion 11. A portion of the image combiner 16 is exposed through the space cutout 18. A portion of the image combiner 16 may be configured to protrude outward for exposure.

The externally exposed portion contacts the cam 26 of the moving means when the CD case 10 is seated on the base 22, and the end of the image coupling portion 16 exposed through the space cutout 18 is camd. It is moved by (26). The detailed structure of the vehicle is shown in FIG. The lens unit 14 and the image combiner 16 are positioned so that the image combined in the engraving state can display a single complete image through the lens unit 14 as the image combiner 16 moves. .

The lens portion 14 is formed by convex portion 14a formed on the upper side and a plurality of lenses having a flat portion 14b formed on the lower side thereof. The surface of the image coupling portion 16, on which the image located below the lens portion 14, is printed, faces the flat portion 14b, and the image is divided into a number of pieces. The lens unit 14 is positioned so that one complete image of the divided images of the image combining unit 16 is displayed.

In addition, the cover 12 itself may be configured as the lens unit 14. In other words, the cover 12 is made of a plastic of transparent material, the shape of the lens unit 14 is also made of a plastic of transparent material can be used in place of the cover.

4 and 5 are for explaining the image coupling state of the image coupling unit 16 used in the present invention.

A (A1-A6), B (B1-B6), C (C1-C6), ... shown in FIG. 4 are images (pictures), respectively, and represent a series of associated operations. In the figure, the butterfly flies while flying. The images A, B, C, D, ... which perform the continuous operation as described above are respectively divided into a plurality of pieces (A1, A2, .... A6, B1, B2, ... B6, C1, C2, ... Divide into D1, ..). Each divided piece has the same size.

Each of the divided image fragments as described above is combined by the image combiner 16. At this time, the combined order is as shown in A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, A2, B2, C2, D2, .... As described above, since the images are newly arranged in a segmented state, it is difficult to visually identify which image. However, through the lens unit 14, the user can recognize it as a normal image.

In the figure, although the image combining portion 16 is configured as a rectangle, it can be configured in a square by adjusting the size of the actual image and the size of the pieces, the image combining portion in the present invention can be manufactured in any form. This also applies to the shape of the lens portion 14.

In the above description, it is described that the image manipulations are rearranged and combined, but in practice, it is advantageous for mass production to print and manufacture the image combining unit 16 using each of the combined pieces as the original. In addition, in the drawings, the images are displayed as separate pieces, but since they are actually printed on paper, it is impossible to check them from the side.

The display state will be described using the image combiner 16 configured as described above using one lens of the lens unit 14 and a portion of the image combiner 16 corresponding thereto.

Referring to FIG. 6, when one piece (C1 in the figure) of the image coupling portion 16 is positioned at a predetermined position (center portion OP in the figure) of the planar portion 14b of the lens, the image of the positioned portion is convex. It is enlarged and displayed through the portion 14a. At this time, the other pieces C2, C3, ... C6 of the same image are displayed while being simultaneously enlarged through the convex portions 14a of the other adjacent lenses of the lens portion 14. Due to this enlarged display state, one unified image C is displayed on the entire lens unit 14. Therefore, the user can visually check the image C in the stationary state.

When the image combining part 16 is slightly moved in the stationary state as described above and the image piece D1 is positioned at the center part OP of the flat part 14b, the piece D2, through the convex part 14a of another adjacent lens, is placed. D3, .., D6) is displayed at the same time to display a single unified image. Therefore, the user can visually check the image. When the image combiner 16 moves the display state of the still image quickly, the user can recognize the moving image as a continuous motion.

The size of the lens (also the size of the OP) can be changed depending on the number of fragments in the image. Although the image is separated into six pieces of A1-F1 in the drawing, reducing the number of pieces to three or four can reduce the size of the lens and the size of the OP. As described above, it is apparent that the size of the lens unit 14 may be changed to an optimal state with each other in accordance with the size of the image coupling unit 16.

FIG. 7 shows a partial cutaway view of the base 22 with moving means for moving the image combiner 16. The moving means formed on the upper side of the base 22 includes a drive motor 24, a cam 26 arranged on a rotation shaft of the drive motor 24, and a fixed plate 30 for fixing the drive motor 24. And the on / off switch 28. Although not shown in the figure, a battery for supplying power to the drive motor 24 is provided on the back side. In addition to batteries, batteries can use AC power with a built-in stop.

Although the figure also mentioned that the on / off switch 28 was installed in the inside of the base 22, it is also possible to provide the on / off switch 28 outside the base 22. As shown in FIG. In the latter case, when the image change is not desired, the CD case 10 can be controlled while the base 22 is inserted into the base 22.

When the CD case 10 is vertically inserted into the base 22 and fully engaged, the outer end of the cam 26 contacts the exposed end of the image coupling part 16 as shown in FIG. 3. At this time, when the on / off switch 28 is turned on by the insertion of the CD case 10 and the power is supplied, the cam 26 rotates to move the image coupling unit 16, and thus the lens unit ( The image is displayed through 14).

The cam 26 is in contact with the image coupler 16 through the space cutout 18. As the cam 26 rotates, different images printed on the image combiner 16 are continuously displayed through the lens unit 14. The display speed of the image can be adjusted by adjusting the rotational speed of the drive motor 24. Alternatively, the display speed of the image may be adjusted by adjusting the size and shape of the cam 26.

In the above description, the moving means uses the drive motor and the cam as an example, but other variations and modifications are possible, and it is apparent that such changes and variations are also within the scope of the present invention.

If the image printed on the image combiner 16 is a series of continuous motions, the user recognizes it as a continuous motion. In addition, if the image is an independent image, mainly a photo, the user recognizes each individual photo. This recognition action may be changed according to the speed of image change by the driving motor 24.

In the above description of the present invention, the image coupling unit 16 is operated by the driving motor 24, but a structure for moving the image coupling unit 16 by manual operation is also possible.

8 illustrates an example of an installation state of the moving unit 21 for moving the image combining unit 16. As shown, the moving part 21 is formed in the shape (shown by the dotted line) which protruded on one side and the lower surface of the image coupling part 16. As shown in FIG. The moving part 21 may be formed integrally with the same material as the image coupling part 16 or may be separately manufactured and combined using a soft material such as plastic. It is also apparent that the installation position of the moving part 21 can also be attached to the side of the image coupling part 16. Particularly, when the moving part 21 is formed on the side, the moving part 21 may be used as the image coupling part 16 that moves in contact with the cam 26 when the moving means provided in the base 22 is used.

FIG. 9 illustrates a side surface of the CD case 12 to which the image combining unit 16 having the moving unit 21 shown in FIG. 8 is applied. The moving unit 21 is exposed to the outside, and the moving unit ( A slide 20 is shown which limits the movement of the 21 and also provides a connection space so that the moving part 21 and the image coupling part 16 can interlock with each other. The sliding part 20 is actually a space formed on the cover side of the CD case 10.

When the user moves the moving part 21, the image (butterfly of butterfly) as shown in Figure 4 according to the moving state of the moving part 21 is displayed continuously to show the operating state. The user can visually check the dynamic state different from the simple still image conventionally used by a simple operation.

10 is another embodiment in which the attachment position of the moving part 21 is changed. As shown in the figure, the moving part 21 is attached to the cover 12 side of the CD case 10. The moving unit 21 may be integrally formed with the image coupling unit 16 or manufactured by a separate material and combined. This is an embodiment in the case where the moving part 21 attached to the side of the image coupling part 16 is actually used in FIG.

Since the image combiner 16 is operated manually, it is possible to use recovery means to automatically return to its original position after moving using the mover 18. In other words, an elastic means such as a spring is installed at the other end of the image coupling part 16, and the image coupling part 16 is moved by using the moving part 18 to display a specific motion and then released. To return to the initial position. Of course, in the case of displaying the character information instead of the image, it is also possible not to use the recovery means so that the user can select arbitrarily. In the drawing, the reference position in the stopped state is set such that the SP of the piece A1 coincides with the left end of the center portion OP.

In the above description of the present invention, the dynamic operation state using the image is taken as an example, but contents related to the contents of the CD can be similarly provided. It is not a dynamic operation but is provided as a general still image, and can be information such as text, not pictures or figures. Therefore, according to the present invention, as compared with providing one side through a conventional cover, it is possible to provide information corresponding to 7 to 8 sides as much as possible without removing the label.

In addition, although the display device of the present invention has been described as being applied to a CD case, it is obvious that the display device can be equally applied to a picture frame or a billboard for a picture or an advertisement. In the case of a frame, the CD case 10 accommodates the CD 32, removes the space, and replaces the image combining unit 16 with a photograph. In addition, the billboard can also be applied to print the advertisement on the image combining unit 16.

According to the present invention by displaying a variety of instantaneous images on the label attached to the cover of the CD case, it can be interesting to the user or display the content associated with the content of the CD can provide advertising effects or information There is an effect that can increase the effect.
