Description

  The present invention relates to a placing base for a shaped object for illuminating a placed shaped object or functioning itself as a decorative lighting fixture.

  There is a well-known table for illuminating a mounted object, which has a light source inside and a light emitting window for emitting light from the light source to the outside. ).

  As a modeled object, it can be assumed that it is made of an opaque material that is illuminated by the reflection of light from the pedestal, but light is introduced into the light-transmitting resin material such as acrylic or resin or glass. Since it emits light by itself, it is more beautifully illuminated.

  Needless to say, there are various types of objects and their sizes are also various. Therefore, the illumination method according to each is needed. It is desirable that the light emitting window is suitable for the size of the modeled object. If the light emitting window is too large for the modeled object, the direct light from the light emitting window enters the eyes and impairs the lighting effect of the modeled object. Conversely, the light emitting window is too small. If the light is not sufficiently introduced into the model, the lighting effect of the model will be impaired. Further, depending on the degree of transparency of the modeled object, it may be desirable to irradiate with direct light or to illuminate with diffused light.

  On the other hand, the above-mentioned conventional stage has a problem that the size of the light emission window and the type of irradiation light are uniform, and it cannot be applied to various shaped objects.

  In addition, when an LED is used as a light source, a light source is formed by mounting LED elements at intervals, but since there is a dark portion between the mounted LED elements, light ripple is caused by scattered LED element light. In particular, when the shaped object is transparent, the ripples hinder the surface light emission.

  The cradle of the present invention has been created in view of the above problems, and has at least two housing units that can be stacked on each other, and one of the light emitting units has a light source inside. In addition, the upper surface has a light emitting window for emitting light from the light source to the outside, and the other diffusion unit has a cylindrical shape with an open lower end, and the upper surface is a light transmissive material rich in light diffusibility. It has a top plate made of

  Further, in the cradle according to claim 2, in the cradle, the light emitting unit covers a light emitting window provided on the top plate with a light cover made of a translucent material, and an LED light source is arranged immediately below the light cover. It is characterized by that.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a table according to the third aspect, wherein the upper and lower ends of each unit are provided with engaging portions for engaging each other when stacked.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the table is a top plate that covers the entire upper surface of the diffusion unit with a light cover in the table.

  Further, the cradle according to claim 5 is characterized in that in the cradle, the light cover of the diffusion unit is provided on a part of the top plate.

  According to the cradle of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the cradle is configured by units that can be stacked on each other, so that usage corresponding to various shaped objects can be made by selecting and stacking the units.

  That is, when the light emitting unit U1 is positioned upward as shown in FIG. 5 and the upper surface thereof is used as the mounting surface of the modeled object S1, light can be directly introduced into the modeled object placed on the light emitting window. It becomes possible. This mode of use is optimal for illumination of a model made of an opaque material that has translucency, and the light emission window itself is covered with the model, so that direct light from the light emission window enters the eyes and illumination of the model. There is no loss of effectiveness. In this case, the height of the cradle can be adjusted according to the modeled object by stacking the light emitting unit U1 on the diffusion unit U2 or using the light emitting unit alone.

  On the other hand, when the diffusion unit U2 is overlaid on the light emitting unit U1 as shown in FIG. 6 and its upper surface is used as a mounting surface for the shaped object S2, the light from the light emitting window of the light emitting unit U1 has its lower end opened. The light cover is introduced from the diffusing unit U2 into a light cover made of a light transmissive material rich in light diffusibility, and the entire light cover emits light with soft light. When the top cover that covers the entire top surface of the diffusing unit is provided with the light cover as in the invention described in claim 4, the light emitting area is expanded to the entire top panel, and the light ripple due to the LED element light does not occur. Since the whole emits light uniformly, it is optimal for illumination of a shaped object made of a transparent material having a size covering the entire top plate.

  Further, the object to be illuminated is not limited to a modeled object, and tableware and accessories can be assumed. Various illuminations can be realized by properly using direct light from the light emitting unit U1 and soft light from the diffusion unit U2.

  In addition, a placing table may be used alone as a decorative lighting fixture without placing a modeled object, and a diffusion unit as a decorative lighting fixture that emits sharp direct light when the light emitting unit U1 is positioned upward. If U2 is positioned above, it can be used in two ways as a decorative lighting fixture that emits soft light with a large light emitting area.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which each unit of a placing table for a modeled object according to the present invention is separated. This pedestal has at least two housing-like units that can be stacked on each other. As these units, in this embodiment, a plane rectangular cube is illustrated, but the shape is not limited to this, and for example, a plane circular or polygonal shape may be used.

  Reference numeral U1 in the figure denotes one of the light emitting units. This light emitting unit U1 has a light source inside, and has a light emitting window 4 on the upper surface for emitting light from the light source to the outside. In this embodiment, a plurality of LEDs 6 are used as a light source, and the plurality of LEDs 6 are arranged in a circular shape on an LED substrate 8 provided on the base 7 so that these LEDs 6 are positioned immediately below the light emitting window 4. Distributed. In this case, in order to give the LED board 8 light reflectivity, the LED board may be made of a highly reflective material, or a reflective material may be applied to the surface. The light emission window 4 has a circular shape opened in the top plate 2 of the light emission unit U1, and is covered with a light cover 5 made of a translucent material. The light cover 5 may be transparent or opaque as long as it has translucency. The LED 6 is driven to be dimmable by a drive circuit (not shown) housed in the light emitting unit U1. Reference numeral 9 in the figure denotes a dimming knob. In this embodiment, power is supplied from the outside by the power supply terminal 10, but it goes without saying that the power supply may be provided inside.

The diffusion unit U2 is configured in a cylindrical shape with the lower end opened, and the upper surface is covered with a light cover 22 made of a light-transmitting material rich in light diffusibility. As this light cover 22, in this embodiment, an opaque and translucent resin material whose surface is processed into an uneven light scattering surface is adopted. However, if it is a translucent material rich in light diffusibility, Of course, it is not limited to this. Here, the light cover 22 is used as a top plate that covers the entire top surface of the diffusion unit U2, but the light cover may be provided on a part of the top plate (not shown). In this embodiment, one diffusion unit U2 is combined with the light emitting unit U1, but it goes without saying that a plurality of diffusion units U2 may be combined with one light emitting unit U1.

  The light emitting unit U1 and the diffusing unit U2 can be stacked on each other. In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of each unit are provided with engaging portions for engaging each other when stacked, thereby preventing lateral displacement. doing. That is, the four side wall ends on the upper surface of the light emitting unit U1 are formed as annular protrusions 3, the four side wall ends on the lower surface are formed as annular recesses 11, and the four side wall ends are formed on the upper surface of the diffusion unit U2. It is set as the convex part 23, and it becomes an engaging part by making the side wall edge of 4 circumferences into the annular recessed part 21 in a lower surface, and engages the annular recessed part and annular convex part of each unit in the case of stacking.

  5 and 6 are views showing a method of using the placing table for a modeled object of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a case where the light emitting unit U1 is positioned upward and the upper surface thereof is used as a mounting surface of the modeled object S1. In this case, light can be directly introduced into the shaped object S1 placed on the light emitting window 4. Here, an example of a petal model made of an opaque acrylic resin having translucency as the model S1 is taken as an example. In this case, in addition to stacking the light emitting unit U1 on the diffusion unit U2 as shown in the figure, the height of the pedestal can be adjusted according to the modeled object by using the light emitting unit alone.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a case where the diffusion unit U2 is overlaid on the light emitting unit U1, and the upper surface thereof is used as a mounting surface for the shaped object S2. In this case, the light from the light emitting window 4 of the light emitting unit U1 is introduced into the light cover 22 made of a light transmissive material rich in light diffusibility from the inside of the diffusion unit U2 whose lower end is opened, and the entire light cover is soft. It emits light. Here, as the modeled object S2, for example, a modeled object in which a modeled object of a petal is enclosed in a cube of a transparent resin such as a resin is taken as an example. In the case of this type of shaped object, since the main body is transparent, a sufficient lighting effect cannot be obtained unless uniform light is introduced to the entire surface. This method of use is suitable in which the entire light is uniformly emitted without causing light ripple.
