Definitions
- the invention relates to an expiration date display de ⁇ ice, and more particularly to an expiration date display de ⁇ ice wherein the customers may eas ⁇ y perceive the expiration date of the goods like as food or medicine.
- the goods like as food or medicine goes bad as time goes by, and the goods gone bad may cause a food poisoning or a side effect.
- the manufacturer has to mark the expiration date of the goods at the container like as a bottle, box, or paper bag and etc.
- the expiration date or a manufacture date is marked at the container by means of ink printing.
- the manufacture date is printed at the container, the eatable term from the manufacture date is marked additionally.
- the invention is created to solve the above described problems and the object of the invention is to provide an expiration date display devicewherein the customers may eas ⁇ y perceive that the expiration date is passed by so that the accident like as food poisoning or drugs side effect may be prevented.
- an expiration date display device compriang a first expiration date display device compriang:
- a controller 15 which is attached to the container 10 containing goods like as food or medicine, the expiration date of the goods is stored therein, and outputs electric signal when the stored expiration date expires;
- a battery 20 which is attached to the container 10 and supplies the power to the controller 15; and [11] a display means 30 which is electrically connected to the controller 15 and is exposed at the surface of the container 10, and displays the expiration symbol 25 notifying expiration of the expiration date if the electric signal is outputted from the controller 15.
- the expiration date display device wherein the controller 15 is a RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) chip, and the data of the expiration date may be wirelessly transmitted to the RFTD chip at the manufacturing step of the container 10.
- the controller 15 is a RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) chip
- the expiration date display device wherein the expiration symbol 25 is formed at the display means 30 by applying electrically discoloring material.
- the expiration date display device wherein the display means 30 is a thin film LCD, and the controller 15 includes a CPU 35, a ROM 40 in which the data to be displayed at the display means 30 have been stored, a timer 45 which counts the expiration date, and an I/O interface 50 which connects the CPU 35 to the display means 30.
- the invention has a number of important technical advantages.
- One advantage is providing an expiration date display device wheran the controller 15 attached to the container 10 of the goods may output the electric signal if the expiration date is expired, and then the display means 30 displays the expiration symbol 25. Accordingly, the customers may eas ⁇ y perceive the expiration of the expiration date so that they are not troubled under the accident owing to taking the foods or the medicines whose expiration date is passed by.
- Figure 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the expiration date display device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a front view showing the state that the expiration date has been expired.
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of the expiration date display device according to a varied embodiment of the invention.
- the expiration date display device of the invention comprises a controller 15 which is attached to the container 10 containing goods like as food or medicine and outputs electric signal when the previously stored expiration date expires, a pad type battery 20 which supplies power to the controller 15, and a display means 30 which displays the expiration symbol 25 if the electric signal is outputted from the controller 15.
- FIG. 1 and Figure 2 are the front views of the preferred embodiments of the invention, which show the case that the expiration date display device of the invention has been attached to the container 10.
- the controller 15 and the battery 20 are attached to the outer surface of the container 10 in order that they may be hidden as shown in dotted line.
- the display means 30 is attached to the outer surface of the container 10 in order that it may be exposed outwardly.
- the controller 15 is to output the electric signal if the expiration date of the goods contained in the container 10 is expired.
- RFID chip is used as the controller 15.
- the RFID chip is attached to the container 10 at the packing step of the goods, and the data of the expiration date of the goods may be transmitted from a wireless station to the RFID chip.
- the expiration date of the goods may be stored in the RFID chip, and the RFID chip outputs the electric signal when the expiration date is expired.
- the data of the expiration date may be wirelessly inputted. Accordingly, the manufacturers of the goods may quickly perform the input process of the data of the expiration date, and may eas ⁇ y change the data by operating the wireless station simply.
- the battery 20 is a thin f m pad type battery, and it supplies power to the controller 15.
- the battery 20 may be designed with the controller 15 in one body type as the RFID chip is designed as an active tag type.
- the display means 30 is connected to the controller 15, and it displays the expiration symbol 25 in which includes the figure and/or characters notifying expiration of the expiration date when the electric signal is outputted from the controller 15.
- the expiration symbol 25 is formed at the display means 30 by applying electrically discoloring material.
- the electrically discoloring material is made by mixing a electrically discoloring rean and a conductive paint. In this case, if the electric signal is inputted to the display means 30 and it is transmitted to the conductive paint, said electrically discoloring rean is discolored reacting to the electric signal so that the expiration symbol 25 may be exposed visually.
- the display means 30, as shown in Figure 1 displays the advertisement or the ingredient of the goods and so on before the expiration date is expired.
- the display means 30, as shown in Figure 2 displays the expiration symbol 25 when the expiration date is expired and the electric signal is outputted from the controller 15. Accordingly, even before the expiration date is expired, the region of the display means 30 is utilized for displaying the advertisement or the ingredient of the goods.
- FIG. 3 is a bbck diagram of the varied embodiment of the invention.
- the display means 30 may be formed with a thin f ⁇ m LCD.
- the controller 15 includes a CPU 35 which controls the output of the display means 30, a ROM 40 in which the data to be displayed at the display means 30 have been stored, a timer 45 which counts the expiration date, and an I/O interface 50 which connects the CPU 35 to the display means 30.
- the ROM 40 stores the data to be displayed before the expiration date is as well as the data of the expiration symbol 25 to be displayed when the expiration date is expired.
- the timer 45 is the circuit connected to the CPU 35 or the program written into the ROM 40 and counts the expiration date. If the timer 45 do not count the expiration date yet, the CPU 35 read the data like as the advertisement or the ingredient of the goods from the ROM 40 and outputs them through the display means 30. And then, if the timer 45 has counted the expiration date, the CPU 35 read the data of the expiration symbol 25 from the ROM 40 and outputs it to the display means 30.
- the expiration symbol 25 is displayed in the combination of the figure and the characters that the customers may eas ⁇ y perceive. And, it may be displayed irreversibly even after the expiration date is passed by.
- the expiration date display device of the invention is attached to the surface of the container 10 of the goods like as food or medicine. According to the invention, if the expiration date is expired, the controller 15 outputs the electric signal to the display means 30. And then, the display means 30 displays the expiration symbol 25 which notifies the expiration of the expiration date.
- the expiration symbol 25 may be formed at the display means 30 by applying electrically discobring material. Also, the expiration symbol 25 may be displayed through the LCD.
- the customers may eas ⁇ y perceive that the expiration date of the goods is expired although they do not pay carefiil attention. Accordingly, the invention may prevent the accident(like as food poisoning or drugs side effect) that the customers take the foods or the medicines whose expiration date is passed by.
