DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a decorative structure according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative structure A is composed of a plurality of rods 20, for example, about 200 rods 20, which are held by a fixing member 30 and stand upright. Installed outdoors. The rod-shaped body 20 has a lower end 2
1, a rod portion 22, and an upper end portion 23. The fixing member 30 is buried in the ground,
It can be held not only from the ground but also from a wall or ceiling.

The rod portion 22 is a hollow rod made of a flexible material, for example, carbon fiber, Kevlar, whisker, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, organic glass, or the like. The rod portion 22 may have the same length uniformly for the plurality of rod-shaped bodies 20, or may have a mixture of rods having different lengths. In this case, the rod portion 22
The length and the thickness can be appropriately set in consideration of the bending strength of the material forming the rod portion 22, the average strength of the wind, a desired way of fluttering, and the like.

The light emitting body 40, the power supply unit 50, and the support member 60 are accommodated and supported in the upper end portion 22. Luminous body 40
Is a light emitting diode, for example, and the power supply unit 50 is a solar cell, which is unitized. The light emitting diode can be turned on for a long time by using the power generated by the solar cell. A male screw portion 51 a is formed below the light-emitting body 40, and is screwed with a strong female screw of the power supply unit 50. The support member 60 is made of, for example, a transparent acrylic resin.
The light-emitting body 40 and the power supply unit 50 are fixed to the rod-like body 20 between the rod-shaped body 20 and the vicinity of the upper end of the rod part 22.

In the decorative structure A, the rod 20
Since the rod portion 22 has flexibility, the bar-shaped body 20 fluctuates in the wind when it receives a natural wind, sways, or fluctuates, so that natural comfort can be provided. . As described above, when the decorative structure A of the present invention is used, as compared with the conventional fixed or mechanically movable decorative and ornamental decorative structure, the natural structure is remarkably natural. You can taste. Also,
Since there is no complicated mechanical / electrical control mechanism, the entire apparatus is inexpensive and easy to maintain and maintain. In addition, the lighting effect of the light emitting means 51 provided on the rod-shaped body 20 can provide a presentation effect. Therefore, the decorative structure A in the present embodiment can be suitably applied to decorative and ornamental decorative structures such as environmental sculptures, display devices, sign devices, and objects.

Also, the light emitting body 40 is located at the upper end 2 of the rod 20.
3, the light-emitting body 40 is
The effect can be reliably exhibited without being hidden by the camera. Further, since power for lighting the light emitter 40 is obtained from the power generated by the solar cell, energy can be saved, and the light emitter 40 is
Since the light emitting device is provided with the light emitting diode, power consumption required for light emission can be reduced, and further energy saving can be achieved.

If the rod portion 20 has a hollow structure,
A configuration in which the electric power generated by the solar cell can be temporarily stored in a battery additionally provided by the electric wiring during the day, and the electric power is transmitted from the battery to the light emitting body 40 at night can be passed through the wiring. It can also be. In this case, it is possible to effectively use the power generated by the solar cell.

In the middle of the wiring from the battery to the light emitter 40, a light emission controller for controlling blinking of the light emitter 40 may be provided. It is preferable that the light emission control unit can individually control the light emitters 40 of the plurality of rods 20 individually. Under this configuration, the plurality of light-emitting bodies 40 can be blinked freely, and a flexible effect can be created.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. According to the present embodiment, a light source 60 such as a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, or an incandescent bulb is provided near the base of the rod 20, and the light of the light source 60 is reflected by the reflective lens 70 on a substantially spherical surface to form the internal space Is irradiated upward. Electric power is supplied to the light source 60 via the power supply unit 80.

If the rod 20 is made of a transparent or translucent material, the light irradiated to the hollow portion by the reflection lens 70 passes through the rod 22 and the tip 23 of the rod and leaks to the outside. The entire bar looks shiny.

As shown in FIG. 4, if a fluorescent paint layer 90 is provided on the outer periphery of the rod-shaped body 20, the fluorescent paint shines when irradiated with ultraviolet light in the dark, and these sway in the wind. Can create a fantastic atmosphere. Also, if a reflective layer is provided instead of the fluorescent paint,
You can see the decorative structure shimmering and shining under natural or artificial light.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show that electric power is supplied to the luminous body 40 by providing grooves 100 and 101 on the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the control gargling 20, respectively, and wiring the grooves. The aesthetic appearance is not impaired by the additional wiring, and consideration is given not to damage. According to this structure, a structure that is less likely to be soiled and that is easier to maintain can be obtained.

It should be noted that the decorative structure of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment at all, and the following modifications do not depart from the gist of the present invention. a) Instead of using 200 rods 20, any number of rods 20 may be used. b) Instead of placing the bar 20 outdoors, place it indoors. In this case, the rod-like body 20 is swept by the wind existing in the indoor space. Generally, since the wind power is weak indoors, it is preferable to use a rod portion that is more flexible than an outdoor arrangement. c) Instead of using the ground 10 as the fixed body, various fixed bodies such as a plastic plate, a fixed body having a curved surface, a wall surface, a ceiling surface, and a plate surface which is hollowed out are used. d) Instead of using the light emitting body 40 as the light emitting means, an arbitrary light emitting means is used. Use a light-emitting body other than a light-emitting diode. e) The light emitting means is provided in a portion other than the upper end portion 23 of the rod 20. Alternatively, the entire rod 20 is caused to emit light. f) As the constituent material of the rod portion 22, any other highly flexible material such as glass fiber reinforced plastic is used. g) Using another power source without providing a solar cell in the luminous body 40. h) Wiring is performed outside the rod part 40 instead of making the inside of the rod part 40 hollow and housing the wiring. In this case, wiring can be easily performed. i) A material other than the transparent acrylic resin is used for the support member 60.
