Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transparent figurine such as an embossed glass.

[0002]

Conventionally, Buddha statues have been carved using various materials, for example, wood, stone, clay and the like. There are also Buddha statues carved on the walls and painted on the boards. There have also been various means of awe for various Buddha statues, such as an amulet enclosing paper depicting the Buddha statue in glass.

[0003]

[0005] However, in the past, in all cases, the Buddha statue was directly viewed (it is said that the talisman itself is the picture itself). There was something that was not enough to make it. In addition, even though the workmanship was good, it often lacked the so-called godliness. In addition, even if it is a general sculpture or a painting that is not a Buddha statue, if it is directly viewed, it seems to be instantaneous and lacks interest. The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem. Its purpose is to provide an ornament that exhibits a special appearance and a special aesthetic.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, according to the invention of claim 1, a reflecting means for reflecting light toward the inside of the transparent block is formed below the transparent block, and the transparent block is formed. The gist of the present invention is that a slanted surface is formed on the body from the upper side to the lower side and faces obliquely upward, and a relief corresponding to the rear surface of the same slanted surface of the block body is embossed so as to be visible through the slanted surface. In such a configuration, light reflected by the reflecting means is reflected toward the inside of the block body. On the other hand, the relief on the back is visible from the inclined surface through the block body. At this time, the light from the reflecting means is reflected on the inclined surface. According to a second aspect of the invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the gist is that the reflecting means is provided on a bottom surface. According to the third aspect of the present invention, a transparent block body is provided with a bottom surface that can be installed on a horizontal plane, and a light source that projects light from the bottom surface toward the inside of the block body is disposed below the block body. The gist of the present invention is to form an inclined surface obliquely upward from the upper part to the lower part, and to provide a relief that can be seen through the inclined surface at a position corresponding to the back surface of the inclined surface of the block body. In such a configuration, light is emitted from the light source toward the inside of the block body. On the other hand, the relief on the back is visible from the inclined surface through the block body. At this time, the projected light is reflected on the inclined surface. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect of the present invention, the embossment has a gist in which the carved portion has a rough surface with a cloudy surface. Further, with such a configuration, the outline of the relief that is visually observed through the block body is raised white by light that is irregularly reflected on the rough surface.

[0005]

According to the first or third aspect of the present invention, the relief is visually reflected through the block body, which is not instantaneous as compared with the case where the relief is directly viewed, and is reflected on the inclined surface from below. The light and the relief are combined to give the relief a deeper impression and at the same time give it a sublime atmosphere as if wrapped in light. According to the invention described in claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention described in claim 1, it is possible to attach the reflection means after forming the block body. In the invention described in claim 4, in addition to the effect of the invention described in any one of claims 1 to 3, the relief becomes slightly less visible than when the relief is directly viewed because it is visually observed through the block body. The light reflected irregularly makes the outline stand out white, which makes it easy to see. In addition, an interesting atmosphere is provided in which white light diffusely reflected and light reflected on the inclined surface are combined.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The ornament of the present embodiment comprises a block body 11 made of high-purity glass. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the block body 11 has a cylindrical shape and has a side surface 12 having a circular cross section. On the front side of the block body 11, the inclined surface 1 is cut off diagonally.
3 is molded. The inclined surface 13 is formed in an elliptical plane. Since the inclined surface 13 is largely shaved from the upper portion of the rear side surface 12 to the lower portion of the front side surface 12, there is no ceiling portion in the present embodiment. A Buddha Buddha image 15 is sculpted on the back of the inclined surface 13 by a grinding tool such as a router. As shown in FIG. 2, the Buddha Buddha image 15 is sculpted on the surface of the curved block body 11, so that the image is curved in the circumferential direction. The Buddha Buddha statue 15 is shaped like a cloudy glass by shaving the glass and using the shaved portion as a rough surface, and appears white on the surface of the block body 11.
However, in this application, the Buddha Buddha statue 15 is
Conversely, portions that appear white in the drawing are black. A gold foil 19 is attached to the bottom surface 17 of the block body 11 so that light is reflected toward the inside.

[0007] In the ornament having such a configuration, the Buddha Buddha image 15 is diffusely reflected and appears white due to ambient light. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the viewer looks at the Buddha image 15 from the inclined surface 13 through the block body 11. On the other hand, of the light reflected on the gold foil 19 on the bottom surface 17, the light reflected upward reaches the inclined surface 13 directly or while reflecting on the side surface. The light incident on the inclined surface 13 is refracted at the boundary surface with the air layer in the outside world and travels in the direction of the line of sight of the viewer. Therefore,
The Buddha's Buddha statue 1 wrapped in golden light on the slope 13
5 will have an atmosphere like floating in the air. The appearance of this golden light varies depending on the position, brightness, and type of light of the light source where the ornament is placed. Further, the distribution of the golden light changes due to slight movement of the line of sight of the viewer. Further, light incident on the boundary surface between the side surface of the block body 11 formed by the curved surface and the air layer in the outside world is refracted and diffused, so that the surrounding scene passing through the block body 11 is significantly deformed as compared with the actual case. Will be visible.

With this configuration, the present embodiment has the following effects. (1) The Buddha Buddha statue 15 is seen through the block body 11 in combination with the golden light reflected on the gold leaf 19, so that the Buddha Buddha statue 15 floats in a recessed position and has a goddess as if wrapped in light. Will give the atmosphere. (2) Since Buddha Buddha image 15 is processed into a cloudy glass, it does not appear white in gold light and is hard to see. (3) Since the block body 11 has a cylindrical shape, the surrounding scene passing through the block body 11 is significantly deformed as compared with the actual situation. Therefore, the Buddha image 15 that floats in the golden light can be visually observed in a shining atmosphere that is far from reality. (4) The Buddha Buddha image 15 is visually observed through the block body 11 and in combination with the golden light reflected on the gold leaf 19, so that the image can withstand appreciable viewing without the need for fine sculpting.

The present invention can be embodied with the following modifications. In the above-described embodiment, the outer shape of the cylindrical block body 11 is used. However, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the block body 11 is set on a box 22 in which a light bulb 21 is disposed so as to project light upward without attaching a gold foil 19 to the bottom face 17 of the block body 11. You may. Top plate 23 of this box 22
Is formed with a communication hole 24 communicating the inside and the outside, and a transparent glass plate 25 is mounted in the communication hole 24. A reflector 26 for collecting light is provided above the light bulb 21. In this embodiment, the power source is a dry battery 27, and the light bulb 21 is turned on and off by turning on and off a switch 29 provided on the side surface of the box 22. In FIG. 6, the light bulb 21 is used as the light source. In addition, a light source such as a fluorescent lamp or a so-called black light can be freely used. In the above embodiment, the inclined surface 13 is formed integrally when the block body 11 is formed. However, the inclined surface 13 may be cut obliquely after the block body 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape. -The gold foil 19 is stuck on the bottom surface 17, but it can be freely changed to another reflection means having metallic luster. In addition, painting or vapor deposition may be used instead of foil. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, it is attached to the bottom surface 17, but may be embedded in the block body 11 in a cylindrical shape. Also, the shape need not be a foil shape. In short, it is only necessary that the light can be reflected upward from below and reflected on the inclined surface 13. In the above embodiment, the Buddha Buddha image 15 is processed into a frosted glass shape. Therefore, when the block body 11 is formed, the block body 11 may be integrally embossed (actually, it is not carved, but is customarily referred to as such). The angle of the inclined surface 13 is not limited as long as the relief on the back surface can be visually observed. -Of course, it is possible to change to a god and Buddha other than the Buddha statue 15. You can also sculpt motifs other than Shinto and Buddha. -The glass may be colored or translucent. In addition, the material may be a synthetic resin such as acryl other than glass, or a natural transparent block such as quartz, and the embodiment may be freely implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0010] Other technical ideas of the present invention that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below as additional notes. (1) In addition to the structure of the invention described in any one of claims 1 to 4, the gist is that the block body is a cylindrical body. With such a configuration, the light reflected or bent at the boundary surface between the outer peripheral surface having the curvature of the cylindrical body and the outside world (air) is greatly diffused in the block body, so that an atmosphere that is a goddess is obtained. It will be further improved.
