  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a sound generator according to an embodiment, and shows an example in which a music box is used as a sound source. As shown in the figure, the schematic configuration is such that a music box 12 is disposed at the lowermost part of the sound generator 10, a transmission unit 14 is coupled and fixed to the music box 12, and a holding unit 16 is coupled and fixed to the transmission unit 14. Yes.

  First, the music box 12 does not have a special configuration, but a general configuration is sufficient. In the present embodiment, a hand-wound cylinder music box is used, and a screw portion 12a for winding a mainspring screw, a cylinder 12c having a pin 12b on the outer peripheral surface, and the like are illustrated. An automatic performance is performed by flipping a comb-shaped metal plate (not shown) aligned in a row of metal pieces by a pin 12b by the rotating operation of the cylinder 12c.

  The transmission unit 14 includes a transmission plate 14a having a substantially circular planar shape and a coupling unit 14b that couples the music box 12. Each of the transmission units 14 is made of a hard material having good acoustic vibration transmission. In the present embodiment, the transmission plate 14a is made of hard plastic, and the coupling portion 14b is made of metal bolts and nuts. The transmission portion 14 is coupled and fixed to the base portion 12d of the music box 12, for example, at two locations.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of the coupling and fixing portion. As shown in the drawing, the transmission plate 14a and the base 12d of the music box 12 are fastened by a bolt 14b-1 as a coupling portion 14b and a spacer 14b-2. Are connected. As the spacer 14b-2, a member having good acoustic vibration transmission property, for example, a metal member is used. This fastening connection is performed at two locations in the present embodiment, but may be at three locations or more. The acoustic vibrations emitted from the music box 12 are reliably transmitted to the transmission plate 14a by the coupling and fixing by the bolts 14b-1 and the spacers 14b-2.

  Next, installation of the holding unit 16 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the holding portion 16 is configured by installing a plurality of cylindrical holding containers 16 a. Each holding container 16a has a configuration capable of storing a plant stem or the like, and is sized so that the stored plant directly contacts the inside of the holding container 16a. That is, it is easy to obtain a contact state with the plant accommodated by taking the structure of the cylindrical body which has an appropriate internal diameter. That is, since the stored plant contacts the inner wall of the holding container 16a in a leaning manner, a contact state can be obtained with certainty.

  Each holding container 16a and the transmission part 14 are coupled by fitting and fixing the vicinity of the lower end of each holding container 16a to the transmission plate 14a. That is, a hole is provided in each holding container installation location of the transmission plate 14a, and a lower end portion of each holding container 16a is fitted therein and fixed with an adhesive or the like. Thereby, the transmission of the acoustic vibration from the transmission plate 14a to the holding container 16a is reliably performed.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of an arrangement position of the holding container 16a on the transmission plate 14a. As shown in the figure, for example, it is distributed in about 10 places. Of course, the arrangement is not limited to this, and it is possible to provide a larger number of holding containers 16a, or to increase the inner diameter of the holding containers 16a and reduce the number of installed containers.

  With the above configuration, the acoustic vibration oscillated from the music box 12 is reliably transmitted from the base portion 12a of the music box 12 to the transmission plate 14a via the coupling portion 14b of the transmission portion 14. The acoustic vibrations transmitted to the transmission plate 14a are transmitted to the plurality of holding containers 16a, respectively. Since each holding container 16a contains a plant and each plant is in contact with the holding container 16a, the acoustic vibration from the holding container 16a is transmitted to each plant and emitted as sound from the whole plant to the outside. For example, when the leaf portion is greatly expanded from the stem portion accommodated in the holding container 16a to the outside of the holding container 16a, the sound transmission function to the outside becomes better, and the listener can start from the leaf. You can enjoy the soft sound emitted. In addition, the sound emitted from the plant varies in tone color depending on the type, shape and size of the plant to which it mediates, and there are many variations as sound generators.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, no external power supply is required to operate the sound source, and no signal transmission means from the sound source to the plant is necessary. Furthermore, since it is not a configuration that requires an external sound source, it is not necessary to perform wiring with the outside, and a compact configuration that is well-organized as a sound generator including plants is achieved. What is important is that the acoustic vibration from the sound source is transmitted mechanically by the mechanical coupling and fixing structure directly without being converted electrically and electronically. The structure of the process from plant to plant is extremely simple compared to the structure of conventional devices. That is, the sound source and the transmission unit, and the transmission unit and the holding unit are connected by being directly coupled and fixed, and transmission of mutual acoustic vibration is also performed by mechanical transmission.

  As described above, an independent acoustic vibration generation source called a music box and an extremely simple acoustic transmission structure can easily achieve weight reduction and miniaturization as a whole, and can be carried not only as a sound generator as a figurine but also as a portable object. It can be applied to a bouquet of plants such as bouquets. Note that the music box 12 is not limited to a hand-wound type, and may be a small battery type structure that does not require external wiring.

  FIG. 4 shows an embodiment for further improving the transmission of acoustic vibrations from the holding container 16a to the plant. As shown in FIG. 5A, a filling member 20 having a pointed protrusion 18 at the tip is fitted and installed at the bottom of the holding container 16a. The pointed protrusions 18 and the filling member 20 are formed of a hard member having good acoustic vibration transmission. This bottom portion is fitted and fixed to the transmission plate 14a as shown in FIG. And as shown to the figure (C), the acoustic vibration by the contact in the inner wall to the holding | maintenance container 16a of a stem part is made by setting it as the state which inserted the pointed protrusion 18 in the stem part of the plant 200 to load. In addition to the transmission, acoustic vibrations are transmitted from the pointed protrusion 18 to the stem portion, and the function of acoustic transmission from the holding container 16a to the plant is improved.

  FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a plant holder for sound generation configured using the sound generator according to the present invention, and shows an example configured as a bouquet that is a portable bouquet as a whole. As shown in the figure, the music box 12, the transmission unit 14, and the holding unit 16 that are sound sources are arranged at the lower end of the bouquet, and a holding container 16 a of the holding unit 16 is loaded with a flower stem portion that constitutes the bouquet. . The screw portion of the music box 12 is exposed to the outside from the lower end portion of the bouquet, and the tone of the music box 12 can be emitted from the bouquet flower by winding the screw when necessary. The music played by the music box can be selected in various ways, so if you choose a song that suits the situation of the place being used, for example, a wedding, you can make the atmosphere more exciting by selecting a song that is related to marriage. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the music box 12 is not limited to the hand-wound type, and a small battery type structure that does not require external wiring is also possible. In that case, sound can be easily generated from the bouquet by exposing the on / off switch of the music box 12 to the lower side of the bouquet.

  FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the plant holder for sound generation configured using the sound generator 10 according to the present invention, and shows an example configured as a vase 22 as a whole. As shown in the drawing, the music box 12 as a sound source is fixed to the outside of the bottom 22 a of the vase 22, and the transmission plate 14 a of the transmission unit 14 is installed on the bottom 22 a inside the vase 22. The music box 12 and the transmission plate 14a are coupled to each other by a bolt 24 serving as a coupling portion 14b. By the coupling by the bolt 24, the music box 12 is also attached to the vase 22 at the same time.

  As shown in the figure, the bolt 24 passes from the transmission plate 14 a through the bottom 22 a of the vase 22 to reach the base 12 d of the music box 12 and is fixed by a nut 26. By this coupling and fixing, the coupling state between the transmission plate 14a and the music box 12 is secured, and the mounting state to the vase 22 of the music box 12 is also secured. In addition, a buffer member 28 is laid between the transmission plate 14 a and the bottom 22 a of the vase 22 in order to make the transmission of acoustic vibration from the music box 12 to the transmission plate 14 a and the acoustic oscillation to the outside more effective. Has been. That is, the transmission of acoustic vibration from the music box 12 to the transmission plate 14a is made direct, and the transmission plate 14a directly touches the bottom 22a of the vase 22 to transmit the acoustic vibration to the vase 22, and from the vase 22 itself to the outside. A buffer member 28 is laid in order to oscillate the sound and prevent the sound oscillation from the plant from becoming relatively inconspicuous.

  In addition, a ring-shaped packing 29 is also installed in the penetrating portion of the bolt 24 at the bottom of the vase 22 to prevent water leakage and direct contact with the vase 22 of the bolt 24. Furthermore, the spacer 30 between the base part 12d of the music box 12 and the outer surface of the vase bottom part 22a is also composed of an elastic member having a buffer function.

  On the upper surface of the transmission plate 14a, a plurality of pointed protrusions 32 are provided in the form of a sword mountain, whereby the transmission plate 14a is configured as a sword mountain portion. And by inserting this pointed protrusion 32 into the stem portion of the plant in which it is housed, it is possible to more efficiently transmit acoustic vibration from the transmission plate 14a to the plant.

  FIG. 7 schematically shows a state in which plants are actually stored in the vase, and the specific configurations of the sound generator 10 and the vase 22 are simplified. As shown in the figure, the sound generating plant holder can be configured as a single vase 22 without external electrical wiring. Therefore, it becomes easy to install a vase that emits sound from a plant even in a place where there is no power source or sufficient space. Moreover, since the screw of the music box 12 is exposed to the outside of the bottom 22a of the vase 22, the winding operation can be easily performed by lifting the vase 22. Further, similarly to the above-described embodiments, the music box 12 is not limited to the hand-wound type, and may be a battery type structure. In this case, the vase 22 of the portion where the music box 12 is provided is provided. A push button may be provided on the side wall, and the music box 12 may be turned on and off by operating this button.

As illustrated, the sound generator 10 is fixedly installed on a base 34. This fixing is performed by fixing the screw portion of the music box 12 to the base 34. Therefore, the music box 12 is rotated while emitting sound by rotating the base portion 34 and installing the base 34 with the holding portion 16 facing upward. Therefore, when the plant is loaded on the holding unit 16 and rotated, the plant emits sound while rotating and can be more interesting for the viewer. The music box 12 can also be of a small battery type, and can have a similar configuration by providing a shaft that rotates during operation.

  Moreover, although it is also possible to put water in the holding container 14a in each of the above-described embodiments, the individual for ornamental plants that absorbs water and becomes a water-retaining jelly-like member and performs the same function as water. It is also suitable to fill with water (commercially available).
