Abstract

A mark unit includes a holding section that is disposed at the top of a display section so that a light-emitting section is positioned on a side of a display screen of the display section and a weight section is positioned on a side opposite to the display screen to hold the light-emitting section on the side of the display screen that intersects a horizontal plane.

Claims (37)

1. An indication position calculation mark unit disposed on a placement target that has a predetermined positional relationship with an indication surface in order to calculate an indication position of an indicator on the indication surface, the mark unit comprising:

a mark section that allows light to travel in a predetermined direction;

a weight section that has a weight substantially equal to a weight of the mark section; and

a holding section that has a given length, flexibility, and coefficient of friction, and connects the mark section and the weight section, the holding section holding the mark section on a surface parallel to the indication surface by means of a frictional force between the holding section and the placement target based on the weight of the mark section and the weight of the weight section.

2. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the holding section connects the mark section and the weight section so that the position of at least one of the mark section and the weight section with respect to the holding section can be changed.

3. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the holding section connects the mark section and the weight section so that the direction of the holding section with respect to the mark section can be changed.

4. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the length of the holding section can be adjusted.

5. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of weight sections can be connected to the holding section, wherein

a weight of the plurality of the weight sections are substantially equal to the weight of the mark section.

6. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the mark section includes:

a back side facing in a direction opposite to the travel direction of the light;

a rotation shaft being provided at the top of the back side and parallel to the back side; and

a rotation section having a rotation side that can be rotated so that a rotation angle around the rotation shaft with respect to the back side can be adjusted, wherein

the holding section connects the rotation section and the weight section.

7. The mark unit as defined in claim 1 , wherein

the mark section includes:

a back side facing in a direction opposite to the travel direction of the light;

a pull-out opening provided in the back side, a cord that supplies power to the mark section being pulled out from the pull-out opening; and

a cord groove provided in the back side in rightward and leftward directions from the pull-out opening, the cord pulled out from the pull-out opening being buried in the back side along the cord groove.

8. An indication position calculation mark unit disposed on a placement target that has a predetermined positional relationship with an indication surface in order to calculate an indication position of an indicator on the indication surface, the mark unit comprising:

a mark section that allows light to travel in a predetermined direction; and

a holding section that is connected to the mark section and has a given length, flexibility, and coefficient of friction, the holding section holding the mark section on a surface parallel to the indication surface by means of a frictional force between the holding section and the placement target based on the weight of the mark section and the weight of the holding section.

9. The mark unit as defined in claim 3 , wherein

the holding section includes a plurality of holes arranged along the longitudinal direction of the holding section, wherein

the rotation section includes insertion portions that can be inserted into one of the plurality of holes of the holding section.

10. The mark unit as defined in claim 6 , wherein

the holding section includes a plurality of holes arranged along the longitudinal direction of the holding section, wherein

the rotation section includes insertion portions that can be inserted into one of the plurality of holes of the holding section.

11. The mark unit as defined in claim 4 , wherein

the holding section includes a plurality of link members to adjust the length of the holding section.

12. The mark unit as defined in claim 8 , wherein

the weight of the holding section extending on a back side of the placement target has a weight substantially equal to a weight of the mark section.
