また、直流筒部は、送風ファンに近接して配置されて送風ファンからの風の流れを分割しつつそれぞれの噴出口を上向きに設けられた複数の小分割円筒部材を含む構成とすることにより、簡単、低コスト構造で良好な直流状の上昇流を発生しうる上昇流発生装置を製造できる。また、流れの速い上昇流を広い範囲で形成することができる。   In addition, the direct current cylinder part is disposed in the vicinity of the blower fan and includes a plurality of small divided cylindrical members provided with the respective outlets facing upward while dividing the flow of air from the blower fan. Thus, it is possible to manufacture an upflow generator that can generate a good DC upflow with a simple and low-cost structure. Moreover, the upward flow with a fast flow can be formed in a wide range.

また、規制枠及び/又は浮遊体に光を照射する照明装置が設けられた構成とすることにより、浮遊体の浮遊動作による視覚効果等に加えて照明効果によりディスプレイ効果を相乗的に向上させうる。   In addition, the display frame can be synergistically improved by the lighting effect in addition to the visual effect due to the floating action of the floating body by providing the lighting device that irradiates light to the regulation frame and / or the floating body. .

The display device according to the present embodiment is installed in, for example, department stores, restaurants, pachinko stores, other stores and amusement halls, venues such as parties and events, and other various places, and is used for decoration, atmosphere creation, etc. It is. And it is an interesting display apparatus which can see and enjoy the movement of the floating body which floats by a unique movement within the regulation frame while floating the floating body by the upflow generator. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of a display device of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the display device 10 includes an upflow generator 12, a floating body 14, and a restriction frame 16.

本実施形態では、ディスプレイ装置10全体を支持する基台18を有している。基台18は、例えば、ある程度強度がある金属製の中空円筒管状の筒型部材からなり、軸方向を縦に向けて配置されている。基台18の円筒周面には、中空内部と外部とを連通させた複数の連通間隙19が設けられている。本実施形態では、基台18を介して、例えば、床面上、台面上、棚上等の平面上にディスプレイ装置10を安定的に載置させることができ、設置場所に自立させて設置させることができる。なお、基台18は、円筒形状のものに限らず、たとえば、角筒や多角形筒、その他任意形状の筒形、箱形、フレーム構成、その他任意の構成としてもよく、ディスプレイ装置を10自立させた状態で配置できる態様とすると好適である。本実施形態では、基台18に上昇流発生装置12と規制枠16が一体的に組み付けられている。   In this embodiment, it has the base 18 which supports the display apparatus 10 whole. The base 18 is made of, for example, a metal hollow cylindrical tubular member having a certain degree of strength, and is arranged with the axial direction directed vertically. A plurality of communication gaps 19 are provided on the cylindrical peripheral surface of the base 18 so that the hollow interior communicates with the outside. In the present embodiment, the display device 10 can be stably placed on a flat surface such as a floor surface, a base surface, or a shelf, for example, via the base 18, and can be installed independently on the installation site. be able to. The base 18 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be, for example, a rectangular tube, a polygonal tube, a cylindrical shape of any other shape, a box shape, a frame configuration, or any other arbitrary configuration. It is preferable to adopt an embodiment that can be arranged in a state in which they are placed. In the present embodiment, the upflow generator 12 and the restriction frame 16 are integrally assembled to the base 18.

本実施形態において、図1、図4、図6に示すように、上昇流発生装置12は、噴出部21より空気を上向きに噴出して上昇流Fを生起させる上昇流発生手段である。さらに、この上昇流発生手段としての上昇流発生装置12は、後述するように上昇流Fを発生させて浮遊体14を浮遊させるための浮遊手段である。本実施形態では、上昇流発生装置12は、送風ファン20と、直流筒部22と、を含む。送風ファン20は、例えば、回転軸周りにその径方向に取り付けられた複数のプロペラ羽根を軸回転させて主として回転軸方向に風を送るプロペラファンからなり、ファンモータが例えば図示しない電源コード等を介して100V電源に接続される。本実施形態では、送風ファン20は、円筒形状の基台18の上端側に回転軸を鉛直方向に向けた状態でフレームを基台18に固定させており、ファンの回転作動時には下から上方向へ向けて連続して略一定風量の風を送るようになっている。この際、送風ファン20は基台18の連通間隙19を介して外部から空気を給気される。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 6, the upward flow generation device 12 is upward flow generation means that generates upward flow F by ejecting air upward from the ejection portion 21. Further, the upward flow generating device 12 as the upward flow generating means is a floating means for generating the upward flow F and floating the floating body 14 as described later. In the present embodiment, the upward flow generation device 12 includes a blower fan 20 and a direct current cylinder portion 22. The blower fan 20 is composed of, for example, a propeller fan that rotates a plurality of propeller blades attached in the radial direction around the rotation axis to send air mainly in the rotation axis direction. To the 100V power supply. In the present embodiment, the blower fan 20 has a frame fixed to the base 18 with the rotation axis directed in the vertical direction on the upper end side of the cylindrical base 18, and from the bottom upward when the fan is rotating. It is designed to send an almost constant amount of wind toward the sea. At this time, the blower fan 20 is supplied with air from the outside through the communication gap 19 of the base 18.

直流筒部22は、送風ファン20により発生した風を略直流状の上昇流Fとして噴出させる。すなわち、本実施形態では、直流筒部22により上昇流は、横方向への分散を少なくし、略真っ直ぐに鉛直上方向に空気を噴出するようになっている。本実施形態では、直流筒部22は、図4、図5にも示すように、送風ファン20の直上に近接して配置されて、送風ファン20からの風の流れを分割しつつそれぞれの噴出口24aを上向きに設けられた複数の小分割円筒部材24を含む。本実施形態では、直流筒部22は、長さ、大きさが同一の7個の小分割円筒部材24を軸方向を鉛直方向に揃えて、平面視で1個の円筒部材を中心に配置させしながら他の円筒部材が軸対称状に配置されるように束ねた状態で設けられ、送風ファン20上に固定されている。複数の小分割円筒部材24の噴出口24aが集まって、上昇流の流れる範囲の水平断面が円形に近似した上昇流発生装置12の噴出部21を形成する。複数の小分割円筒部材24により送風ファン20で発生した風を小断面積の流路で分割することで、各小分割円筒部材24では風速が増加した状態で、しかも横方向への分散が低減した直流状の上昇流の発生を期待できる。したがって、直流筒部22の噴出部21から噴出される全体としての上昇流の流れる範囲は、略円筒状に収束した範囲となり、上昇流が略直流状に形成される。本実施形態では、小分割円筒部材24は、例えば、プラスチック等の合成樹脂製で両端開口した円筒形直管から形成されている。小分割円筒部材24は、軸方向にある程度長く設けられており、上端側開口を噴出口24aとし、下端側開口を吸込み口としている。図5にも示すように、平面視では、小分割円筒部材24を束ねた外形輪郭の大きさが、送風ファン20の羽根の大きさより若干大きく設けられており、送風ファン20の風はいずれかの小分割円筒部材24内に送られるようになっている。   The direct current cylinder part 22 ejects the wind generated by the blower fan 20 as a substantially direct current upward flow F. In other words, in the present embodiment, the upward flow of the direct current cylinder portion 22 reduces the dispersion in the lateral direction, and the air is ejected substantially vertically upward. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the direct current cylinder portion 22 is disposed in the immediate vicinity of the blower fan 20 to divide the flow of wind from the blower fan 20 and to It includes a plurality of small divided cylindrical members 24 provided with an outlet 24a facing upward. In the present embodiment, the DC cylinder portion 22 has seven small divided cylindrical members 24 having the same length and size, with the axial direction aligned in the vertical direction, and is arranged around one cylindrical member in plan view. However, the other cylindrical members are provided in a bundled state so as to be arranged in an axially symmetrical manner, and are fixed on the blower fan 20. The jet outlets 24a of the plurality of small divided cylindrical members 24 gather to form the jet part 21 of the upflow generator 12 in which the horizontal cross section of the range through which the upflow flows approximates a circle. By dividing the wind generated in the blower fan 20 by a plurality of small divided cylindrical members 24 in a flow passage having a small cross-sectional area, the wind speed is increased in each small divided cylindrical member 24 and the dispersion in the lateral direction is reduced. The generation of a direct current upward flow can be expected. Therefore, the range in which the upward flow as a whole ejected from the ejection portion 21 of the direct current cylinder portion 22 flows is a range converged in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the upward flow is formed in a substantially direct current shape. In the present embodiment, the small-divided cylindrical member 24 is formed of a cylindrical straight pipe made of synthetic resin such as plastic and having both ends opened. The small divided cylindrical member 24 is provided to be somewhat long in the axial direction, and has an upper end side opening as a jet port 24a and a lower end side opening as a suction port. As shown in FIG. 5, in plan view, the size of the outer contour bundle of the small divided cylindrical members 24 is slightly larger than the size of the blades of the blower fan 20. Is sent into the small divided cylindrical member 24.

本実施形態では、略直流状の上昇流として噴出させることにより、浮遊体14を規制枠16内の空中のある高さ位置まで上に浮揚させる。上昇流のみで他の空気の流れがほとんど無視できる状態では、その空中位置近傍で浮遊する浮遊体14は横にそれて落下することなく、上昇流の流れる範囲内に留まるように浮遊状態を安定的に保持される。すなわち、直流筒部22は、浮遊体14を所要の規制枠16内空中位置で停止保持させ得るような略直流状の上昇流として噴出させるように設けられている。よって、本実施形態では、直流筒部22により直流状の速い流れで噴出させて上昇流を形成することにより、浮遊体14を所要の空中高さ位置で浮揚させ続けて、ふわふわと漂うような独特の浮遊動作を実現できる。さらに、上昇流が流れる速い流れの近傍では、上昇流の範囲から離脱している浮遊体14を上昇流の速い流れ内へ引き込むような力が作用する。なお、上昇流の流れの中に浮遊体が空中で保持される現象は、例えば、上昇流の風圧と浮遊体の重量とのバランスや、流れの速いところは圧力が小さくなる作用(ベルヌーイの定理)、流れが曲がると曲がりの内側の圧力が低く、外側が高くなる作用(流線曲率の定理)、流れが浮遊体の表面に沿って流れる作用(コアンダ効果)等が複合的に組み合わさって生じるものと推測される。なお、上昇流を例えば放射状に分散するように噴出させるようにしてもよいが、直流状の上昇流と比較して、浮遊体14の浮揚高さが減少するとともに、空中の浮遊時間が短くなると予想される。   In the present embodiment, the floating body 14 is levitated up to a certain height position in the air within the regulation frame 16 by being ejected as a substantially DC upward flow. In a state in which the flow of other air is almost negligible with only the upward flow, the floating body 14 that floats in the vicinity of the aerial position stabilizes the floating state so that it stays within the range where the upward flow flows without falling sideways and falling. Retained. That is, the direct current cylinder part 22 is provided so as to eject the floating body 14 as a substantially direct current upward flow that can stop and hold the floating body 14 at a required air position in the restriction frame 16. Therefore, in this embodiment, the floating body 14 continues to be levitated at a required height in the air by causing the direct current cylindrical portion 22 to eject the direct current fast flow to form a rising flow, so that it floats softly. A unique floating motion can be realized. Further, in the vicinity of the fast flow in which the upward flow flows, a force acts to draw the floating body 14 that is separated from the range of the upward flow into the fast flow of the upward flow. In addition, the phenomenon that the floating body is held in the air in the upward flow is, for example, the balance between the wind pressure of the upward flow and the weight of the floating body, or the action that the pressure decreases at a fast flow (Bernoulli's theorem ), When the flow bends, the pressure inside the bend is low and the outside is high (streamline curvature theorem), the flow flows along the surface of the floating body (Coanda effect), etc. Presumed to occur. Although the upward flow may be ejected so as to be distributed radially, for example, the floating height of the floating body 14 is reduced and the floating time in the air is shortened as compared with the direct current upward flow. is expected.

浮遊体14は、図1、図4、図6に示すように、上昇流発生装置12からの上昇流により空中に浮遊し、その浮遊動作による視覚効果を生じさせる。浮遊体14は、本実施形態では、例えば、内部に大気と同じ空気を封入した紙製やゴム製の風船玉からなる。浮遊体14は、略球体に形成されている。風船玉は、全体的に軽量であるから、浮遊体14は、上記のような上昇流Fの影響下で、空中を左右前後に緩やかにふわふわと浮遊しうる。また、上昇流や空調等その他の空気の流れの影響を受けて容易に動きやすい。本実施形態では、浮遊体14の径の大きさは、例えば、噴出部21の径よりも大きな径で設けられている。なお、浮遊体14の径は、噴出部21の径と略同じか小さくてもよく、浮遊体14の径と噴出部21の大きさや噴出力との関係で浮遊体の動き方や動くスピードに変化が生じると考えられる。浮遊体14の形状は、球体に限らず、上昇流を受ける面がなだらかな凸状の円弧状曲面であると好適であり、例えば、楕円球体、たまご型、外側に凸状の任意曲率の曲線の回転体等の形状でも良い。浮遊体14の表面全体には例えば、光を反射するアルミニウム等の金属箔等からなる光反射材が貼り付けられており、後述する照明装置26の照明を反射するようになっている。なお、浮遊体14は、表面に模様や絵を施したり、無色または着色透明の素材で形成したり、蛍光塗料を塗布したり、その他種々の形態で形成してもよい。   As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 6, the floating body 14 floats in the air by the upward flow from the upward flow generation device 12, and generates a visual effect due to the floating operation. In this embodiment, the floating body 14 is made of, for example, a paper or rubber balloon ball in which the same air as the atmosphere is enclosed. The floating body 14 is formed in a substantially spherical body. Since the balloon ball is lightweight as a whole, the floating body 14 can float gently and gently in the air from side to side under the influence of the upward flow F as described above. Moreover, it is easy to move under the influence of other air flows such as upward flow and air conditioning. In the present embodiment, the floating body 14 is provided with a diameter larger than the diameter of the ejection portion 21, for example. In addition, the diameter of the floating body 14 may be substantially the same as or smaller than the diameter of the ejection part 21, and it depends on the movement of the floating body and the moving speed depending on the diameter of the floating body 14, the size of the ejection part 21, and the jet power. Changes are likely to occur. The shape of the floating body 14 is not limited to a sphere, and is preferably a convex arcuate curved surface having a gentle upward surface that receives an upward flow, for example, an elliptical sphere, an egg shape, or a curve with an arbitrary curvature convex outward. The shape of a rotating body or the like may be used. For example, a light reflecting material made of, for example, a metal foil such as aluminum that reflects light is attached to the entire surface of the floating body 14 so as to reflect illumination of the lighting device 26 described later. The floating body 14 may be formed in various forms such as a pattern or a picture on the surface, a colorless or colored transparent material, a fluorescent paint applied, or the like.

規制枠16は、図1、図2、図4に示すように、浮遊体14を内部に収容し、かつその移動範囲を規制する規制手段であり、さらに該浮遊体14の概ねの動きを外部から目視できるような間隙28を有する。規制枠16は、内部に浮遊体14が自由に移動できる移動空間Sを形成するとともに移動空間S内に浮遊体14を拘束する。本実施形態では、規制枠16は、上昇流Fが流れる範囲よりも横方向に広がった浮遊体14の移動空間Sを形成するように設けられている。これにより、浮遊体が移動しうる範囲が広く、浮遊体14は上昇流Fから離脱して落下するような動きも可能とし、浮遊体14の複雑な動きを期待できる。本実施形態では、正面視で規制枠16の左右中央位置の下側に上昇流発生装置12が配置されるとともに、規制枠16内に上昇流発生装置12の噴出部21を臨ませており、規制枠16で形成される移動空間Sが左右両側に広がるように設けられている。間隙28は、例えば、外部から見た場合に、移動空間S内で浮遊している浮遊体14が、規制枠16で隠れる面積よりも大きな部分を目視できるように設けられており、浮遊体の概略の外形と動きを容易に把握できるようになっている。同時に、間隙28は、浮遊体が離脱しない程度の大きさに設けられる必要があり、本実施形態では、例えば、間隙28の大きさが、略球体径状の浮遊体14の直径よりも小さく設定されている。さらに、間隙28は、規制枠16の内外に自在に空気の流れを出入させうることができる。本実施形態では、間隙の連通方向が上昇流Fの流れに対して交差方向に設けられている。間隙28を介して、例えば、空調設備や風等が浮遊している浮遊体に作用させて、浮遊体14をより面白味のある独特な動きで浮遊させることができる。なお、上昇流Fは、一部が規制枠16の上部側に当たりながら間隙28から外部に排出される。   As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the regulation frame 16 is a regulation unit that accommodates the floating body 14 and regulates the movement range thereof, and further controls the movement of the floating body 14 to the outside. The gap 28 is visible from the outside. The restriction frame 16 forms a moving space S in which the floating body 14 can freely move and restrains the floating body 14 in the moving space S. In the present embodiment, the restriction frame 16 is provided so as to form a moving space S of the floating body 14 that extends in the lateral direction from the range in which the upward flow F flows. As a result, the range in which the floating body can move is wide, and the floating body 14 can move so as to fall off the upward flow F, and a complicated movement of the floating body 14 can be expected. In the present embodiment, the upward flow generating device 12 is disposed below the left and right central positions of the restriction frame 16 in a front view, and the ejection portion 21 of the upward flow generation device 12 faces the restriction frame 16. A moving space S formed by the restriction frame 16 is provided so as to spread on both the left and right sides. The gap 28 is provided so that, for example, when viewed from the outside, the floating body 14 floating in the moving space S can visually recognize a part larger than the area hidden by the restriction frame 16. The outline and movement of the outline can be easily grasped. At the same time, the gap 28 needs to be provided in such a size that the floating body does not leave. In this embodiment, for example, the size of the gap 28 is set smaller than the diameter of the floating body 14 having a substantially spherical shape. Has been. Further, the gap 28 can allow the air flow to freely enter and exit the inside of the restriction frame 16. In the present embodiment, the communication direction of the gap is provided in a direction intersecting with the flow of the upward flow F. For example, the floating body 14 can be floated with a more interesting and unique movement by acting on a floating body in which air-conditioning equipment, wind, etc. are floating through the gap 28. The upward flow F is discharged to the outside through the gap 28 while a part of the upward flow F hits the upper side of the regulation frame 16.

本実施形態では、規制枠16は、浮遊体14が該規制枠16の拘束から離脱して逃げないような大きさの間隙28を形成するように互いに離隔して配置された複数のリボン状の帯部材301〜307を含む。図3にも示すように、規制枠16は、アーチ状に湾曲された7個の帯部材301〜307を組み付けて形成されたアーチ状枠体32からなる。これにより、規制枠16にリボン装飾のようなデザイン性を兼用させることができ、ディスプレイ装置としての商品価値を向上させうる。さらに、簡単な構造で規制枠16を構成でき、低コストでディスプレイ装置を製造できる。帯部材301〜307は、例えば、長手方向に一定の横幅で形成され、種々の色に着色された着色透明または無色透明で、アーチ湾曲形状を保持できるような可撓性のある塩化ビニル樹脂等の合成樹脂で形成されている。なお、帯部材は、それぞれの色を異ならせても良い。帯部材301〜307は、側面視でアーチ状に形成されるように、前面側から斜め上方向又は真上方向に延長されて背面側に向かうようなアーチ状に湾曲して設けられており、その両端が基台18から上方向に突設された一対の支持片34を介して基台18に固定されている。支持片34は、基台18の上端に前後方向に対向して一体的に固定された略L字状の金属細帯板からなり、例えば、ボルト、ナット等の固定手段により帯部材301〜307の端部が固定される。   In the present embodiment, the restriction frame 16 has a plurality of ribbon-like shapes that are spaced apart from each other so as to form a gap 28 having a size that prevents the floating body 14 from escaping from the restraint of the restriction frame 16 and escaping. Band members 301 to 307 are included. As shown in FIG. 3, the restriction frame 16 includes an arch-shaped frame body 32 formed by assembling seven band members 301 to 307 curved in an arch shape. Thereby, the design nature like ribbon decoration can be used for the regulation frame 16, and the commercial value as a display apparatus can be improved. Furthermore, the restriction frame 16 can be configured with a simple structure, and the display device can be manufactured at a low cost. The band members 301 to 307 are, for example, colored transparent or colorless transparent colored with various colors in the longitudinal direction, and flexible vinyl chloride resin that can maintain the curved shape of the arch. Made of synthetic resin. The belt members may have different colors. The band members 301 to 307 are provided so as to be curved in an arch shape that extends obliquely upward or directly upward from the front side and goes to the back side so as to be formed in an arch shape in a side view, Both ends thereof are fixed to the base 18 via a pair of support pieces 34 protruding upward from the base 18. The support piece 34 is formed of a substantially L-shaped metal thin strip that is integrally fixed to the upper end of the base 18 in the front-rear direction. For example, the strip members 301 to 307 are fixed by fixing means such as bolts and nuts. The end of is fixed.

本実施形態では、アーチ状枠体32は、アーチ状に湾曲された帯部材301〜307の湾曲内側で囲まれる空間を左右に連続させた空間により浮遊体14の移動空間Sを形成している。アーチ状枠体32は、図1の実施形態において、正面視で帯部材301〜307が支持片34を支点として扇の骨のように放射状に広がるように設けられている。即ち、アーチ状枠体32は、帯部材301〜307のそれぞれの両端部を支持片34に収束するとともに、中間の湾曲部分が互いに離隔するように設けられている。帯部材同士の離隔配置により形成される間隙28は、アーチ状に形成され、その間隙幅が規制枠16の下方側(帯部材の端部側)では小さく、規制枠の上方側(帯部材の中央部側)に向かうにしたがって徐々に大きくなるように形成されている。間隙28の最大幅となる帯部材の中央部分同士間の離隔大きさは浮遊体14の直径より小さく設定される。さらに、帯部材の長さは、規制枠16の下方側を形成している左右下部側に配置された帯部材301,307から、水平方向からの傾斜角度が高くなるものにしたがって長く形成されており、左右中央に配置される鉛直方向に向きの帯部材304の長さが最大になるように設けられている。よって、移動範囲Sは、上昇流が流れる範囲周辺、浮遊体14が浮遊移動する範囲が上下又は左右方向に比較的広く形成され、上昇流を受けながら浮遊動作している浮遊体14が帯部材に比較的衝突しにくいようになっている。   In the present embodiment, the arch-shaped frame body 32 forms a moving space S of the floating body 14 by a space in which a space surrounded by the curved inner side of the belt members 301 to 307 curved in an arch shape is continuous left and right. . In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the arch-shaped frame body 32 is provided such that the band members 301 to 307 spread radially like a fan bone with the support piece 34 as a fulcrum in front view. That is, the arch-shaped frame body 32 is provided so that both end portions of the band members 301 to 307 converge on the support piece 34 and intermediate curved portions are separated from each other. The gap 28 formed by the separation between the band members is formed in an arch shape, and the gap width is small on the lower side of the regulation frame 16 (on the end side of the band member) and on the upper side of the regulation frame (on the band member). It is formed so as to increase gradually toward the center side). The size of the separation between the central portions of the band member that is the maximum width of the gap 28 is set smaller than the diameter of the floating body 14. Further, the length of the band member is increased from the band members 301 and 307 arranged on the lower left and right sides forming the lower side of the restriction frame 16 in accordance with the increase in the inclination angle from the horizontal direction. In addition, the length of the band member 304 oriented in the vertical direction arranged at the center of the left and right is set to be the maximum. Therefore, the moving range S is formed around the range in which the upward flow flows, the range in which the floating body 14 floats and moves is relatively wide in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the floating body 14 that is floating while receiving the upward flow is the belt member. Is relatively difficult to collide with.

左右下部側に配置された帯部材301、307は、それらのアーチ内側空隙が間隙28bとなり、浮遊体14が間隙28bから離脱しないようにその長さ及び間隙の広さが設定されている。さらに、左右下部側に配置された帯部材301、307が上昇流発生装置12側が低くなるように斜めに傾けて設けられているので、帯部材301、307上に落下してきた浮遊体(図6上、仮想線14f)は、該帯部材301,307に当たりながら、図6上、矢印D方向に転がるように上昇流発生装置12側に誘導される。すなわち、規制枠16は、上昇流から横に離脱して移動空間の下方側に落下する浮遊体14を上昇流発生装置の噴出部側近傍に誘導させる落下誘導部36を有しており、本実施形態では、規制枠の一部を構成する帯部材301,307が落下誘導部36となる。これにより、上昇流から横に離脱して移動空間Sの下方側に落下した浮遊体14を再び上昇流で浮遊させることができ、監視や複雑な制御等を必要とすることなく、浮遊体の動きによるディスプレイ効果を維持できる。なお、規制枠16は、上昇流が流れる範囲から浮遊体14が横に離脱しないように、すなわち浮遊体14が落下しないような大きさの移動空間Sを形成するように設けられてもよい。また、規制枠16を構成している帯部材301〜307の個数や長さ、横幅、離隔幅等は任意に設定できる。また、アーチ状に湾曲した帯部材を交差させることとしてもよい。規制枠16は、実施形態に限らず、細い枠部材によるフレーム構造や、格子枠構造、網目枠構造、箱型や筒型形状に孔を設けた構造、一本の長い帯部材や針金等の索条部材を内部に空間を形成しながら螺旋状等に形成した構造等その他任意の構成でもよい。また、規制枠16は、例えば、面ファスナやボタンのような雌雄一対の着脱部材を用いて、帯部材の端部側に設けられた係着部と、上昇流発生装置側に設けられて帯部材の係着部を受ける係着受部と、を有する着脱機構を構成し、枠体を形成している一部又は全部の帯部材301〜307を上昇流発生装置12や基台22に対して着脱自在に設けることとしてもよい。これにより、浮遊体の交換や装置のメンテナンスが簡単に行なえる。さらに、大きさ、形状、デザイン等の異なる複数種類の規制枠又は帯部材を用意しておくと、必要に応じてそれらを自由に交換できる。なお、着脱機構は、例えば、帯部材の端部自体を係着部とし、該帯部材を自在に差し込み離脱出来る受穴を係着受部とした構成や、帯部材の端部に切り欠きを形成して係着部とし、上昇流発生装置側にフック状に突設した突起部材を係着受部としてもよい。また、ボルト・ナット等の他の連結部材を用いた構成やその他任意の着脱構成でもよい。また、規制枠16は、帯部材301〜307同士の離隔幅を自在に変更できるように構成して、間隙28の大きさ又は移動空間Sの大きさを自在に変更できるようにしてもよい。この際、例えば、帯部材301〜307が、その端部が組みつけられている支持片34との接続部を支点として回動するように構成し、該帯部材301〜307同士が扇状に自在に収束、展開可能な構成としてもよい。これにより、持ち運びや収納等する際に、装置全体をコンパクト化でき、設置場所では簡単に浮遊体の規制手段を形成できる。また、帯部材301〜307の一端又は両端部側に長手方向に沿って互いに離隔した複数の孔や長手方向に沿って長く形成された長孔を予め穿孔しておき、それらを任意の孔の位置で支持片34と連結できるように構成して、アーチの円弧長さを変更できるようにしてもよい。また、規制枠16は、例えば、湾曲、折り曲げ、伸ばし自在に変形でき、かつその形状を自己的に保持できる素材、例えば、薄いアルミニウム等の軟金属製の帯部材や、布や薄い合成樹脂等の帯部材に針金等を心材としたもの、モール等の針金に色糸やビニル等をより合わせたもの等で構成してもよい。これにより、帯部材等に手で力を加えるだけの簡単な操作で、規制枠を所望の形状に自在に変形でき、装飾の変更等を図ることができる。また、帯部材301〜307は、上昇流や空調等の風の影響を受けて振動するように設けられていてもよい。また、規制枠16は、例えば、上昇縦軸又は横軸回りに回転できるように構成しても良い。この際、規制枠16の回転駆動としては、例えば、モータ駆動でもよく、上昇流等の風の流れを受けて回転するような構成等その他任意に設けてもよい。規制枠にも動作を与えることで、より趣向性のあるディスプレイ効果が期待できる。   The band members 301 and 307 arranged on the left and right lower sides have a gap 28b in the gap inside the arch, and the length and the width of the gap are set so that the floating body 14 does not leave the gap 28b. Furthermore, since the band members 301 and 307 disposed on the lower left and right sides are provided obliquely so that the upward flow generating device 12 side is lowered, the floating body that has fallen on the band members 301 and 307 (FIG. 6). The upper virtual line 14f) is guided to the upflow generator 12 side so as to roll in the arrow D direction in FIG. 6 while hitting the band members 301 and 307. That is, the regulation frame 16 has a drop guide portion 36 that guides the floating body 14 that is laterally separated from the upward flow and falls to the lower side of the moving space to the vicinity of the ejection portion side of the upward flow generation device. In the embodiment, the band members 301 and 307 constituting a part of the restriction frame serve as the drop guide portion 36. Thereby, the floating body 14 that has left the side of the upward flow and has fallen to the lower side of the moving space S can be suspended again in the upward flow, and without the need for monitoring or complicated control, The display effect by movement can be maintained. Note that the restriction frame 16 may be provided so that the floating body 14 does not separate laterally from the range in which the upward flow flows, that is, so as to form a moving space S having such a size that the floating body 14 does not fall. Further, the number, length, lateral width, separation width, and the like of the band members 301 to 307 constituting the restriction frame 16 can be arbitrarily set. Moreover, it is good also as making the belt | curve member curved in the shape of an arch intersect. The restriction frame 16 is not limited to the embodiment, but includes a frame structure using thin frame members, a lattice frame structure, a mesh frame structure, a structure in which holes are formed in a box shape or a cylindrical shape, a single long band member, a wire, or the like. Any other configuration such as a structure in which the rope member is formed in a spiral shape while forming a space therein may be used. In addition, the restriction frame 16 is formed by using a pair of male and female attachment / detachment members such as hook-and-loop fasteners and buttons, for example, an engaging portion provided on the end side of the band member, and a band provided on the upflow generator side. The attachment receiving part which receives the engagement part of a member is comprised, and the part or all the belt members 301-307 which form the frame with respect to the upward flow generator 12 and the base 22 are comprised. It is good also as providing detachably. Thereby, the replacement of the floating body and the maintenance of the apparatus can be easily performed. Furthermore, if a plurality of types of restriction frames or belt members having different sizes, shapes, designs, etc. are prepared, they can be freely exchanged as necessary. Note that the attachment / detachment mechanism has, for example, a configuration in which the end portion of the band member itself is an engaging portion, and a receiving hole through which the band member can be freely inserted and removed is an engaging receiving portion, or a notch is formed in the end portion of the band member. The engaging member may be formed as an engaging portion, and a protruding member protruding in a hook shape on the upward flow generating device side may be used. Moreover, the structure using other connection members, such as a volt | bolt and a nut, and other arbitrary attachment / detachment structures may be sufficient. Further, the restriction frame 16 may be configured such that the separation width between the band members 301 to 307 can be freely changed so that the size of the gap 28 or the size of the moving space S can be freely changed. At this time, for example, the band members 301 to 307 are configured to rotate around the connecting portion with the support piece 34 with the end portions assembled, and the band members 301 to 307 are freely fan-shaped. It is good also as a structure which can be converged and developed. Thereby, when carrying or storing, the entire apparatus can be made compact, and the floating body regulating means can be easily formed at the installation location. In addition, a plurality of holes spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction or long holes formed along the longitudinal direction are previously drilled on one end or both end sides of the band members 301 to 307, and these holes are formed as arbitrary holes. It may be configured such that it can be connected to the support piece 34 at a position so that the arc length of the arch can be changed. The restriction frame 16 is, for example, a material that can be deformed so as to be bent, bent, stretched and can hold its shape, such as a band member made of soft metal such as thin aluminum, cloth, thin synthetic resin, etc. The belt member may be composed of a wire or the like as a core material, or a wire such as a molding obtained by combining colored yarn, vinyl, or the like. As a result, the restriction frame can be freely deformed into a desired shape by a simple operation by simply applying force to the band member or the like, and the decoration can be changed. Moreover, the belt members 301 to 307 may be provided so as to vibrate under the influence of wind such as upward flow or air conditioning. Moreover, you may comprise the control frame 16 so that it can rotate to a raise vertical axis | shaft or horizontal axis periphery, for example. At this time, as the rotational drive of the regulation frame 16, for example, a motor drive may be used, and a configuration such as a configuration that rotates in response to a wind flow such as an upward flow may be provided arbitrarily. By giving an action to the regulation frame, a more interesting display effect can be expected.

さらに本実施形態では、図1、図2、図3に示すように、ディスプレイ装置10には、浮遊体14と規制枠16に光を照射する照明装置26が設けられている。照明装置26により、浮遊体14の独特の動きが与える視覚効果とともに照明による効果も相俟って、より趣向性の高いディスプレイ効果を期待できる。本実施形態では、照明装置26は、図1において、基台18の左右に固定された白色電球からなり、光の照射方向を上方向に向けて設定され、末広がり状に光を照射する。照明装置26から照射された光は、浮遊体14の表面で反射すると同時に、着色透明(又は無色透明)の帯部材301〜307を通過、又は規制枠16の間隙28を通過して、外部で目視されることとなり、意匠感のある独特な照明効果をあらわすことができる。なお、照明装置26は、浮遊体14のみまたは規制枠16のみに照明が当たるように取付けられることとしてもよい。また、照明装置26の取り付け位置は上記位置に限定されず、例えば、基台18や規制枠自体の任意の場所に取り付けることとしてもよい。また、電球等の個数は1個又は2個以上の複数個でもよい。   Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the display device 10 is provided with an illumination device 26 that irradiates light to the floating body 14 and the regulation frame 16. The lighting device 26 can be expected to have a more interesting display effect in combination with the visual effect given by the unique movement of the floating body 14 as well as the effect of illumination. In this embodiment, the illuminating device 26 is composed of white light bulbs fixed to the left and right of the base 18 in FIG. 1, and the light irradiation direction is set upward, and irradiates light in a divergent shape. The light emitted from the illuminating device 26 is reflected on the surface of the floating body 14, and at the same time, passes through the colored transparent (or colorless and transparent) belt members 301 to 307, or passes through the gap 28 of the restriction frame 16, It will be visually observed, and a unique lighting effect with a sense of design can be expressed. The illumination device 26 may be attached so that only the floating body 14 or only the restriction frame 16 is illuminated. Moreover, the attachment position of the illuminating device 26 is not limited to the said position, For example, it is good also as attaching to the arbitrary places of the base 18 or the control frame itself. The number of light bulbs may be one or more than two.

ディスプレイ装置10を使用する際には、例えば、室内の床面上に配置させる。上昇流発生装置12の送風ファンを稼働させて上昇流を発生させる。同時に照明装置26を点灯させて、浮遊体14や規制枠16を照らす。浮遊体14は、上昇流発生装置12からの略直流状の上昇流Fにより、規制枠16内である高さ位置まで空中に浮揚される。浮遊体14は、上昇流Fにより空中に浮かんだ状態で、該上昇流の流れの範囲内に留まるように左右前後上下あらゆる方向にふわふわと漂うように浮遊する。この際、例えば、規制枠16の間隙28を介して規制枠16内に入る空調装置からの風や外から風の影響や、上昇流Fが規制枠16に当たって発生する乱流や渦流等により、上昇流Fの他に複雑な空気の流れが浮遊体に作用すると考えられる。そして、浮遊体14には上昇流Fの中心軸に向かう方向(X1)へ移動させうる力と上昇流Fの中心軸から外側に向かう方向(X2)へ移動させる力が働くと考えられ、浮遊体14は面白味のある独特な動きで浮遊する。浮遊体14が左右に浮遊している際に上昇流Fの流れる範囲を超えて離脱した場合にも該浮遊体は規制枠16で移動を規制され移動空間内で浮遊する。また、上昇流Fの流れる範囲を超えて離脱した浮遊体14は移動空間内を緩やかに落下して、規制枠16下方側の帯部材301,307上に落下する。この際、該帯部材301、307が落下誘導部36として上昇流発生装置12の噴出部に浮遊体を誘導する。そして、浮遊体14は、再度、上昇流の流れの範囲内に引き込まれて空中位置に浮揚されて、空中を浮遊動する。このように、特殊な風の制御や監視を必要としなくても、規制枠16内で略連続的又は断続的に浮遊体を浮遊させて、その動きを楽しむことができる。   When using the display apparatus 10, it arrange | positions, for example on the floor surface of a room | chamber interior. An upflow is generated by operating the blower fan of the upflow generator 12. At the same time, the lighting device 26 is turned on to illuminate the floating body 14 and the regulation frame 16. The floating body 14 is levitated in the air up to a height position in the regulation frame 16 by the substantially DC upward flow F from the upward flow generator 12. The floating body 14 floats in the air by the upward flow F so as to float in all directions in the left, right, front, rear, top and bottom directions so as to stay within the range of the upward flow. At this time, for example, due to the influence of wind from the air conditioner that enters the restriction frame 16 through the gap 28 of the restriction frame 16 or from the outside, the turbulent flow or vortex generated when the upward flow F hits the restriction frame 16, It is considered that a complicated air flow other than the upward flow F acts on the floating body. And it is thought that the force which can move to the direction (X1) which goes to the central axis of the upward flow F and the force which moves to the direction (X2) which goes outside from the central axis of the upward flow F act on the floating body 14 The body 14 floats with a unique and interesting movement. Even when the floating body 14 floats to the left and right, the floating body is restricted from moving by the restriction frame 16 and floats in the movement space even if the floating body 14 is separated beyond the range in which the upward flow F flows. In addition, the floating body 14 separated beyond the range in which the upward flow F flows gently falls in the moving space and falls on the band members 301 and 307 below the restriction frame 16. At this time, the band members 301 and 307 guide the floating body to the ejection portion of the upward flow generation device 12 as the drop guide portion 36. Then, the floating body 14 is again drawn into the range of the upward flow and floated to the air position, and floats in the air. As described above, even if special wind control and monitoring are not required, the floating body can be floated substantially continuously or intermittently in the regulation frame 16 and the movement can be enjoyed.
