Abstract
A display device comprises a base panel having a plurality of [base] unit panels. Each [base] unit panel has an arm projecting perpendicular to the plane of the base panel. The arm has a [flat portion parallel to the plane of the base panel at an upper end of the arm, and slat area at a lower end of the arm. A pin is disposed at the end of the arm to suspend freely a reflecting plate, which moves about by breeze to provide an attractive shimmering effect.] terminal top end surface, a width of which is greater than the height thereof in front view. A rod, having a head, extends from the terminal top end surface of the projecting arm, to which a reflector plate is loosely and swingably fitted .
Claims14
A display device comprising a base panel having a plurality of [plastic] unit panels, each of said unit panels having a [plastic] projecting arm formed integrally with said unit panel at the center of said unit panel and near the top of said unit panel, a [rivet] rod , having a [rivet] head, [embedded in] extending from the terminal top end surface of said projecting arm, and a reflector plate loosely and swingably fitted to said [rivet] rod , wherein said terminal top end surface of said projecting arm and said [rivet] rod comprise means for restricting the swinging movement of said reflector plate about said [rivet] rod in a direction toward and away from said [unit] panel as the back surface of said reflector plate contacts one end of said terminal top end surface of said projecting arm and the front surface of said reflector plate contacts [one end of said rivet] said rod during swung positions of said reflector plate, said terminal top end surface of said projecting arm [has] having a width greater than the height thereof in front view [and comprises a vertical upper surface section and an inclined lower surface section, said upper surface section being parallel to said unit panel while said lower surface section being inclined toward said unit panel as it extends downwardly from the upper surface section, the degree of inclination of said lower surface section and the height of said rivet being such that when said reflector plate positioned in a normal suspended position is swung backward about said rivet, the upper front surface of said reflector plate contacts the upper end of the head of said rivet, and the lower end of said reflector plate is still slightly spaced from said unit panel].
