Description

  The present invention relates to a decorative body that irradiates light from the outside and shines an image.

Lanterns are used in front of gods and buddhas or in gods and buddhists. However, there is a need for alternatives to lights in small rooms, travel destinations, or environments where the fire of lights is not available, such as in personal beliefs and prayers. In response to this, there has been proposed a god Buddha tool that draws an image of a lamp or the like inside a transparent glass solid by laser irradiation and irradiates light from a light emitting body such as an LED from the outside to make the image shine. (For example, Patent Document 1). In addition, the decorative body in which an image is drawn by laser irradiation inside such a transparent glass solid body and light is irradiated from the outside to make the image shine is not limited to gods and buddhists but also used for interior decoration. It is done.
Utility Model Registration No. 3093500

  Such conventional ornaments and gods and Buddhist wares are images in which an image is drawn by laser irradiation inside a transparent glass solid, and when the glass solid is irradiated with light from the outside, the image shines and exists inside the glass. The bubbles that shine also shine. Since many of these bubbles are randomly generated inside the glass when manufacturing a glass solid from molten glass, if the bubble part shines, the impression of the brilliant image is reduced, and the aesthetics and the solemnity of the god and buddha are reduced. . However, it is technically and economically difficult to completely prevent bubbles from being mixed. The object of the present invention is to solve the problems caused by such bubbles.

  The present invention provides a decorative body in which an image drawn on a transparent solid having bubbles inside is irradiated with light from the outside to shine the image, and a plurality of sub-images having a fine shape are formed on the transparent solid. The present invention relates to a characteristic decorative body.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main image and the sub-image are drawn inside the transparent body by laser irradiation, drawn by enclosing a glittering member inside the transparent body, or indented on the surface of the transparent body. Thus, the present invention relates to a decorative body characterized in that the decorative body is any one drawn.

  Another preferable aspect of the present invention relates to a decorative body characterized in that the size of the sub-image is indistinguishable from bubbles inside the transparent solid.

  Another preferred aspect of the present invention relates to a decorative body characterized in that the sub-image is selected from at least one of stars, petals, leaves, rain, and snow.

  In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the decoration is characterized in that when the main image and the sub-image are drawn inside the transparent body by laser irradiation, the optical axis direction of the laser irradiation has an angle with the direction of observing the decoration body It is about the body.

  In a further preferred aspect of the present invention, the decorative body is a god Buddha.

  When the decorative body of the present invention is irradiated with light from the outside, the main image is brilliant, and a number of fine sub-images are brilliant, providing a decorative effect by the sub-image and distinguishing from bubbles shining simultaneously. It is possible to prevent the presence of bubbles or make the presence of bubbles inconspicuous and prevent the decorative value from being reduced by the bubbles. Further, when the bubbles are brilliant, there is an effect of giving a beautiful appearance together with a decorative effect by the sub-image. In addition, even when the surface of the transparent solid that is the main body of the decorative body of the present invention is damaged, it is possible to prevent a reduction in aesthetics due to the presence of scratches as in the case of bubbles. In particular, when the decorative body of the present invention is used as a god Buddhist instrument, by such effects, there is no loss of religious majestic and aesthetics due to the presence of bubbles or scratches, but rather by observing integrally with the sub-image. Can improve religious dignity and aesthetics.

  The material of the transparent body may be transparent or almost transparent. For example, glass, particularly crystal glass is preferable because of its high transparency. Plastic can also be used. Among plastics, acrylic resin is particularly excellent in transparency, surface hardness, rigidity, and weather resistance, and is lighter than glass and is not easily damaged. Therefore, it is preferable in consideration of portability.

  The main image is a person, a plant such as a flower or tree, an animal, a building, a landscape, etc. as a general decorative body. In the case of gods and Buddhist tools, there are images of lanterns and images of worship such as god images, buddha images, honten, name, god names, and symbols of faith. The main image may be either a planar image or a stereoscopic image, but a stereoscopic image is preferred. In the present invention, characters are also handled as main images.

  The sub-image is a large number of fine images, and preferably has a size that cannot be distinguished from bubbles when shining by light irradiation. In the case of gods and Buddhist tools, it is preferable to scatter symbolic images. For example, images of a large number of stars such as constellations and galaxies; images of a large number of petals such as when cherry blossoms are scattered; a large number of images of grass, grass leaves, trees, leaves, etc .; rain and snow Images and the like are preferred.

  The method for forming the main image and the sub-image inside the transparent body can be performed by a known laser irradiation method. For example, by irradiating a plurality of (for example, 3) ultra-high high heat generation lasers to a target point inside the transparent body, the target point where a plurality of pinpoint laser beams are gathered causes a thermal change and is “stipulated”. By attaching this point continuously or intermittently in three dimensions, an arbitrary image can be drawn inside the transparent body. Laser light oscillation is programmed by computer control based on image information corresponding to an image design drawing. The light luminance of the image can be adjusted according to the drawing density.

  In order to clearly observe the main image and the sub-image when the light is irradiated from the outside, the direction of the line of sight observing the main image and the sub-image, generally the front of the decorative body, and the optical axis direction of the laser irradiation are angles. It is preferable to have. This angle is preferably within a range of about 45 degrees around 90 degrees.

  Another method for forming an image inside the transparent body is a method of enclosing a separately prepared glitter member in glass, acrylic resin or the like. The glittering member is preferably a material that diffuses and reflects light such as glass powder or metal powder, or a molded body that is sealed in a material such as acrylic resin or glass. The shape is arbitrary, but a spherical shape is preferable when representing an image of a light flame. As an example of a method for encapsulating the glitter member in the transparent body, an acrylic plate having a recess having a shape corresponding to the glitter member is prepared, and the glitter member is embedded in the recess, and an acrylic resin is formed thereon. The method of pouring and curing to a predetermined transparent body shape is preferable. Alternatively, a recess may be provided behind the acrylic resin body, and a glittering member may be embedded therein.

  Since the main image and the sub-image formed by such a method are drawn only inside the transparent body, the smoothness of the surface of the transparent body is not impaired, and the surface of the transparent body can be maintained even if it is used for a long time. Will not get dirty and the image will not disappear.

  As another method of drawing an image on a transparent body, there is a method of indenting an image on the surface of the transparent body. Specifically, the image is indented from the surface opposite to the observation side of the transparent body, that is, the back surface. The intensity of the brightness varies depending on the depth of the recess. For example, taking a lighting image as an example, the flame part to be strongly shined is recessed deeper than the candle body part. The indentation method can be formed from the back surface of the transparent body by a mechanical indentation method such as sandblasting or drilling, a laser irradiation method, or in the case of plastic.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the inner surface of the indented portion is a sparse surface. By doing in this way, when a light beam directed from one end surface of the transparent body toward the other end surface of the transparent body is irradiated, the flame part shines stronger than the candle main body, and the sense of reality as a lamp increases. Furthermore, since the inner surface of the indented portion is a sparse surface, the image shines more strongly. In order to make the concave surface rough, it is sufficient not to finish the surface after sanding by means such as sandblasting or drilling. However, in the case of plastic molding or laser irradiation, sandblasting or chemical loosening is used as appropriate. It is preferable to take an imposition means. The higher the degree of sparse surface, that is, the rougher the concave surface, the higher the luminance. Therefore, in order to make the flame part shine more intensely than the candle main body part, it is preferable to make the concave inner surface of the flame part sparser than the concave inner surface of the candle main body part. As the means, for example, the candle body can be indented with sand blast and the flame with a drill. As an embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to fill the brilliant member that shines by irradiating light into the indented portion or to apply the brilliant member to the inner surface of the indented portion instead of or with the roughening included. With respect to the drawing of the sub-image, the luminance can be increased or decreased from the viewpoint of design. For example, aesthetics can be further improved by rendering stars, petals, leaves, rain, snow, and the like so as to partially differ in luminance.

  Since the image formed by such a method is drawn indented from the back surface of the transparent body, the smoothness of the surface of the transparent body is not impaired, and the surface of the transparent body becomes dirty even after long-term use. And the image never disappears.

  By applying light from the outside of the transparent body to the main image and the sub-image drawn on the transparent body in this way, the light is irregularly reflected at the image portion and the image is brilliant. Various light sources such as light bulbs, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) can be used as light sources. However, LEDs are particularly useful in terms of low power consumption, low heat generation, long life, light weight, and portability preferable. It is preferable to provide one or a plurality of LEDs in the support or frame of the transparent body. The LED light source can use light of an appropriate color in addition to white light, and can also combine light sources of a plurality of colors. Reflecting the light that has passed through the transparent body by providing a reflective surface such as an aluminum foil or a mirror on the surface opposite to the surface of the transparent body on which the LED light is incident is effective for reducing the amount of light. It is preferable because the amount of light used to irradiate the image can be increased.

  An appropriate type of power source can be used, but a battery is preferable from the standpoint of portability and portability. The power can be turned on and off manually, but in the case of portable gods and Buddha tools, a transparent body is stored in a portable container and a contact switch that automatically enters when the transparent body is raised is used. You can also It is also possible to use a known switch means that turns on in response to voice and automatically turns off after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
