Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative article in which a clock is installed on a substrate, and in particular, the pattern on the substrate is
The present invention relates to a decorative article that naturally emits light with high brightness in the dark and can exhibit sterilization, antifouling, and air purification functions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, ornaments are used in a wide range of items such as ornaments, gifts, gifts, souvenirs, and congratulatory items. The ornaments include wall hanging type, standing type, and hanging type, and the overall shape is rectangular type, circular type, and object type expressing various shapes. The surface of the ornament is printed with a design, a design, a photograph showing a landscape or a person, and the like.

[0003] Further, a decorative piece having a decorative property and a practical aspect in which a watch is installed on a part of the decorative piece is commercially available. Furthermore, by incorporating a light source inside the ornament,
At night, ornaments that emit a fascinating light from the inside have also been developed.

However, the conventional decorative article has a drawback that the pattern provided on the surface cannot be confirmed in the darkness where sunlight or electric illumination is not applied. In addition, in order to eliminate the drawbacks, a method of illuminating a small spotlight and projecting a pattern in the dark was also done, but the cost of installing lighting equipment and the cost of electricity were required, and there was a problem in convenience and economy. there were.

Further, during long-term use, dirt such as dust and dust adheres to the surface of the ornamental product to cause a poor appearance, so that it must be cleaned regularly.

In view of the above points, therefore, the present invention allows the pattern provided on the substrate to spontaneously emit light with high brightness in the dark.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a decorative article which can reduce the installation cost of lighting equipment and electric power cost, and can further exhibit sterilization, antifouling and air purification functions by a photocatalytic function.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the decorative article of the present invention is a decorative article in which a timepiece is installed on a substrate, and a phosphorescent agent is applied to the substrate and the surface of the phosphorescent agent is applied. It is characterized by having a design. Therefore, the phosphorescent agent applied to the substrate stores sunlight or light of a lighting fixture, and the pattern applied to the substrate can be spontaneously emitted with high brightness in the dark.

Further, by applying a metal oxide glass film on the surface of the light storage agent and the pattern, the photocatalytic function of the metal oxide glass film reduces dust and dirt from adhering to the ornaments, and the ambient air is removed. Can be purified.

Further, by applying a glaze to the surface of the luminous agent and the pattern, the luminous brightness of the luminous agent can be improved.

Furthermore, by applying white paint between the substrate and the phosphorescent agent, the luminous brightness of the phosphorescent agent can be further increased.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a decorative article of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, FIG. 1 is an ornamental product with a campus landscape pattern on its surface, FIG. 2 is an ornamental product with a foreign landscape pattern on its surface, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the ornamental product.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a decorative article showing another preferred example.

The decorative article 1 of the present invention is used in a wide range of objects such as ornaments, gifts, gifts, souvenirs, and congratulatory items. Further, although the ornamental article 1 is shown as a standing type in the figure, it is not limited to this, and it may be a wall hanging type or a hanging type, and the overall shape is also rectangular or circular. It may be a mold, or an object type expressing various shapes.

The substrate 2 is made of a material such as synthetic resin, wood, metal, or pottery, and a clock 10 is installed at an appropriate place on the substrate 2. Further, the surface of the substrate 2 is coated with a light storage agent 3. The phosphorescent agent 3 is formed by mixing a plurality of well-known metal compounds and rare earths and a general-purpose color-developing agent. The fluorescent color can be naturally emitted. As a method of applying the phosphorescent agent 3 to the surface of the base material 2, spray coating, electrodeposition coating, electrostatic coating and the like can be mentioned, but the method is not particularly limited.

On the surface of the phosphorescent material 3, a pattern 4 composed of a photograph, a design, a design, etc. is provided. In addition,
The design 4 is not particularly limited, but in the ornament 1 shown in FIG. 1, the design 4 including a photograph or an illustration showing the campus landscape of a university is provided.
In addition, the ornament 1 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with a pattern 4 consisting of a photograph or an illustration expressing a foreign landscape.

As another preferred example, it is preferable to apply a metal oxide glass film 5 on the surface of the light storage agent 3 and the pattern 4. The metal oxide glass film 5 uses a hydrolyzable organometallic compound in a reaction solution composed of water and an organic solvent with halogen ions as catalysts in the presence of boron ions, and has a pH of 4.5 to 5. Hydrolysis while adjusting to 0,
After dehydration and condensation, the reaction product is applied to the surface of the substrate,
It is produced by vitrifying at a temperature of 00 ° C. or lower.

Further, since the metal oxide glass film 5 has a coating effect such as weather resistance, rust resistance, acid resistance, abrasion resistance and insulation property, the phosphorescent agent 3 provided on the surface of the base material 2 Can be protected efficiently. Further, since the metal oxide glass film 5 has a photocatalytic function, it also has effects such as sterilization and antifouling of the decorative article 1.

As another preferred example, it is preferable to apply a glaze 6 to the surfaces of the luminous agent 3 and the pattern 4. The glaze 6
Is a glassy material that is applied to the surface of ordinary ceramics,
It is formed mainly of a silicate compound. By applying the glaze 6 to the surface of the phosphorescent agent 3 and the pattern 4, it is possible to obtain a coating effect on the surface of the phosphorescent agent 3 and improve the emission brightness.

As another preferred example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable to apply a white paint 7 between the substrate 2 and the luminous agent 3. When the material of the substrate 2 has a dark color, by applying the white paint 7 on the surface of the substrate 2 in advance, it is possible to further increase the emission brightness of the phosphorescent agent 3. The type and material of the white paint 7 are not particularly limited.

[0019]

As described above, the decorative article of the present invention has the following effects as described above.

By applying a phosphorescent agent to the substrate of the decorative article on which the clock is installed and providing a pattern on the surface of the phosphorescent agent, the phosphorescent agent applied to the substrate stores sunlight or light of a lighting fixture. , It is possible to spontaneously emit high-intensity light in a pattern on a substrate in the dark.

Further, by applying a metal oxide glass film on the surface of the light storage agent and the pattern, the photocatalytic function of the metal oxide glass film reduces dust and dirt from adhering to the ornament, and the ambient air is removed. Can be purified.

Further, by applying a glaze to the surface of the luminous agent and the pattern, the luminous brightness of the luminous agent can be improved.

Furthermore, by applying white paint between the substrate and the phosphorescent agent, the luminous brightness of the phosphorescent agent can be further increased.
