Definitions
- This device has the major drawback of not making it possible to reproduce a plane image from a book or any reproduction whatsoever.
- the invention presented in this document is positioned essentially in relation to problems with the brightness of the object to be reproduced. This kind of problem only arises with natural scenes and does not arise with images.
- the present invention intends to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a device for assisting in the production of drawings or paintings based on the ability of human vision to accept the superposition of images which seem to be in the same plane thanks to mirrors.
- This device thus allows the designer or the painter to learn to evaluate the perspectives and to reproduce in a simple and effective way either scenes in perspective, or plane representations.
- the present invention is, in its broadest sense, of the type claimed in claim 1.
- the reproduction device comprises a secondary support for the reproduction of plane images, capable of being inserted between the scene and said second eye, in order to provide a nearby scene.
- said secondary support consists of a transparent element and of one or more movable holding rod (s), pressed against the rear face of the transparent element thanks to one or more springs (s), in order to allow the reproduction of models presented, for example in thick books.
- the device according to the invention comprises adjustment means allowing the translation of said secondary support on said device.
- the device consists of a hollowed-out central part, the support and the secondary support being articulated at the base of this central part, to allow it to be closed and thus form a case.
- Said central part preferably includes a means for adjusting the height of the eyecup.
- the device also preferably includes a handle to facilitate gripping.
- the handle and said first mirror form a single piece which is movable in rotation along the central part.
- the first mirror and the second mirror are perpendicular to the same longitudinal plane and are offset by an angle of 20 degrees.
- the second mirror the one closest to the eye, can be a semi-transparent mirror, so that the first eye can also see the scene.
- the device may include at least a second eyepiece, fitted with a filter which can be positioned in front of a second eye, in order to reduce the brightness of the scene perceived by the second eye.
- the device can also include at least a second eyepiece, associated with at least two scene mirrors, making it possible to return an image of the scene to a second eye.
- This second eyecup can be movable relative to said first eyecup, in order to leave the user free to choose which eye, left or right, he positions in front of the first eyepiece and which eye he positions in front of the second eyecup.
- the first mirror and / or the second mirror preferably have a trapezoidal shape in order to free up the maximum space for the movement of the hands and arms.
- the first eyecup and / or the second eyepiece may or may further include means for enlarging or reducing the perceived image.
- the support is inclined at an angle of 60 ° relative to said first mirror and by an angle of 47 ° relative to a reference plane of said device.
- Said first mirror and / or said second mirror may or may have means for adjusting their flatness, in order to allow the scale of the perceived image to be changed.
- the device preferably comprises means making it possible to vary the distance or distances between said first mirror and / or said second mirror and / or said support according to the same longitudinal plane.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to produce drawings or paintings thanks to the fact that the images of the scene to be reproduced and of the reproduction medium are superimposed before the eyes.
- This device thus creates a tool for learning to draw or paint for children and adults.
- the device according to the invention is portable and can be adapted to the brightness of the scene observed and makes it possible to vary the size of the scene observed and / or of the support.
