Description

  The present invention relates to a light reflector used for various things.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of light reflectors that attract attention on the viewer side by changing various aspects of light reflection. As an example of such a light reflector, for example, a decoration or the like that is used by being affixed to the outer surface of a mobile phone, a digital camera, or the like can be given (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  As a specific configuration of the light reflector as described above, a typical structure in which a decorative transparent stone is mounted on a colored base is typical. In such a typical one, since the colors and patterns drawn on the base are artificially set, the design of the finished product often remains within a generally monotonous and predictable range. Also, even if the colors and patterns on the base are complex, the artificial ones have limited variations, and moreover, complex patterns can be effectively expressed for such ones. No special device was made.

  As described above, the conventional light reflectors lack the variety of colors and patterns, and in most cases no specific measures are taken to express the colors and patterns. It could not be said that it would satisfy the side.

  The present invention has been made by paying attention to the circumstances as described above, and provides a light reflector excellent in design property that has a variety of colors and patterns and can appropriately express the colors and patterns. It is to provide.

  That is, the light reflector of the present invention includes a base material having a reflecting surface made of a shell, and a transparent raised layer that is provided so as to cover the base material and that has a central portion larger in thickness than a peripheral portion. It is characterized by becoming.

  If this is the case, the reflective surface of the base material is made up of shells, so it represents a variety of patterns that are difficult to achieve artificially due to the natural patterns unique to shells. Thus, a light reflector excellent in design can be realized. Moreover, since the thickness of the central part is larger than the thickness of the peripheral part so as to cover the base material, the natural pattern peculiar to the shell is moderately irregularly reflected through the transparent raised layer. The pattern can be refracted and a variety of patterns can be displayed on the viewer side.

  In addition, as a suitable use of a light reflector, what is used as an eyeball of the pseudo bait used by fishing can be mentioned. If it is such, since a complicated and diverse pattern can be displayed on the eyeball of the pseudo food, attention of swimming fish such as fish and squid aiming at the pseudo food can be suitably attracted.

  Further, the base is circular, and the central part of the circular base is printed corresponding to the black eye part of the eyeball in the pseudo bait, and the transparent ridge is covered so as to cover the base If a layer is provided, the eyeball of the pseudo food can be made very close to the real one in appearance, and the natural shell pattern can be exposed to the viewer through the transparent raised layer. It becomes possible to attract attention of a swimming fish or the like aiming for food.

  In addition, as another aspect which applied this invention to the pseudo bait, what is provided in the predetermined location of the pseudo bait used by fishing and used as targets, such as swimming fish, can be mentioned. If it is such, since the target which expressed various patterns can be provided in a pseudo bait, attention, such as a swimming fish aiming at a pseudo bait, can be attracted | sucked suitably.

  The light reflector which is this invention can be used suitably also as a decoration used by attaching to a predetermined target object. If this is the case, it is possible to use a variety of patterns unique to shells that are difficult to achieve artificially, as well as a variety that conforms to the viewer's preference by appropriately irregularly reflecting or refracting the pattern. A decoration having a characteristic appearance can be provided. The “predetermined object” includes, for example, electronic devices such as personal computers, mobile phones, and digital cameras, personal items such as wallets, various cases, and key holders, and human nails. .

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a light reflector that has a variety of colors and patterns and is capable of suitably expressing the colors and patterns and having excellent design.

Schematic which shows what applied the light reflector which is this invention to a pseudo food. The perspective view which shows one Embodiment of this invention. The side view in the embodiment. The perspective view which shows multiple other embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The light reflector R which is one embodiment of the present invention is applied to the pseudo bait G used in fishing. Here, the case where the light reflector according to the present invention is mainly used as the eyeball (light reflector) R of the pseudo bait G used for fishing will be described.

  The eyeball R (light reflector R) of the pseudo bait G includes a base material 1 in which the reflecting surface 11 is configured by a shell S, and a thickness Wa of the central portion 21 provided so as to cover the base material 1 and a peripheral portion 22. And a transparent raised layer 2 larger than the thickness Wb.

  The pseudo bait G is used for fishing and is generally called a lure. The pseudo food G imitates the outer shape of fish, insects, and the like, and a needle G1 is provided at a portion corresponding to, for example, a tail fin in order to catch and catch a swimming fish or the like coming to prey. The pseudo bait G according to the present embodiment is a model that simulates a general fish shape (for example, so-called egi), and has an aspect in which eyeballs R are attached to predetermined positions on both the left and right side surfaces.

  Hereinafter, the base material 1 and the transparent raised layer 2 of the eyeball R that is a light reflector will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

  The base material 1 has a substantially circular shape in plan view, the upper surface reflecting surface 11 that may affect the visual perception of the viewer side, and the lower surface side that adheres to predetermined locations of the pseudo food G via various adhesives. The adhesive surface 12 is provided.

  The base material 1 is formed by molding a shell such as an abalone with a machine tool such as a grinder. In the present embodiment, the base material 1 has a sheet shape. In addition to abalone, shellfish, Takase shellfish, and other various shells can be used as the shell. Shells originally have a unique pattern on the inner or outer surface, and are easily realized artificially or artificially depending on the type of shell or even individual shells of the same type. It is possible to express various patterns that cannot be done. In addition, due to its nature, even in an environment that may come into contact with seawater or the like as in the present embodiment, the possibility of decay is low, and it has excellent resistance.

  In the present embodiment, the reflective surface 11 which is one surface of the substrate 1 is given an arbitrary color, for example, a black color, and the natural shell pattern is raised. The coloring process is an optional process for making it easy to visually recognize the natural shell pattern, and the sheet-like shell is exposed on the outer surface even when not colored. It has been made to.

  After the base material 1 is formed in a sheet shape, the base material 1 is cut into a shape corresponding to the eyeball, specifically, a substantially circular shape in plan view. Further, a printing P corresponding to the black-eye portion of the eyeball R in the pseudo bait G is applied to the central portion of the base 1 having a substantially circular shape. In other words, a black display portion displayed by printing or other methods is provided at the center of the substantially circular base 1. By applying such printing P, the eyeball R can be made more similar to a real fish as having a black eye, and the same atmosphere as that of a real fish can be given to the entire pseudo food G.

  Therefore, the eyeball R according to the present invention is provided with the transparent raised layer 2 having the thickness Wa of the central portion 21 larger than the thickness Wb of the peripheral portion so as to cover the base material 1.

  The transparent raised layer 2 is made of a transparent epoxy resin or the like, and is formed in a mountain shape with a raised central portion, in other words, a convex shape in plan view, and has a thickness Wa of the central portion 21. Is set larger than the thickness Wb of the peripheral portion 22. In the present embodiment, the surface in contact with the outside is a substantially spherical surface. If the outer surface has a spherical shape as in the present embodiment, the shell pattern shown on the reflecting surface 11 of the substrate 1 is turned into a smooth curved pattern by refraction through the transparent raised layer 2. It can be converted and exposed to a spherical outer surface. Moreover, the appearance of the fish as an eyeball is improved.

  Here, the transparent raised layer 2 only needs to have a thickness Wa of the central portion 21 larger than a thickness Wb of the peripheral portion 22. For example, in addition to the shape of various plano-convex lenses, the transparent raised layer 2 has a diamond shape, a conical shape, Various shapes such as a pyramid shape are conceivable. Of course, the transparent raised layer 2 does not need to be set to the right and left shapes, and may have a dent formed in a part of the central portion. That is, the “center portion” refers to a range excluding the peripheral portion.

  As described above, by making the transparent raised layer 2 into various shapes, the color and pattern of the shell S formed on the reflecting surface 11 of the base material 1 are appropriately irregularly reflected or refracted through the transparent raised layer 2. Furthermore, since it can be displayed on the viewer side, the eyeball R of the pseudo bait G having a variety of colors and patterns can be realized.

  Note that “transparent” refers to a transparent aspect, but even if the transparent raised layer includes a non-transparent one, the reflective surface 11 of the substrate 1 is interposed through the transparent raised layer. If you can see a part of, it is “transparent”.

  A target X such as a swimming fish is provided at the base end of the tail fin of the pseudo bait G in the present embodiment. The target X such as swimming fish is also referred to as an attack point, and is a member that serves as a mark used for a part to be attacked in order for the swimming fish or the like to prey on the pseudo food G. Therefore, the light reflector according to the present invention is used as the target X of the swimming fish or the like. If it is such, since the target X which expressed various patterns can be suitably provided in the pseudo bait G, the attention of the swimming fish etc. aiming at the pseudo bait G can be attracted suitably. In addition, the shape of the target X such as the swimming fish can be various, and may be a shape approximate to the shape of the eyeball R of the pseudo bait G described above, or other various shapes are adopted. can do.

  As described above, the light reflector according to the present embodiment is such that the base material 1 is represented by a natural pattern peculiar to the shell and the pattern of the natural shell is exposed to the outside through the transparent raised layer 2. Therefore, it is possible to express a variety of diverse patterns that cannot be artificially realized, and it is possible to realize a light reflector excellent in design by utilizing the refractive action of light. it can. Moreover, in the case of mass production of products, there has been a limit to variations in patterns with conventional artificial ones. According to the present invention, natural shell patterns can be colored arbitrarily. In all individual products, it is possible to make a light reflector that expresses colors and patterns having individuality different from those of other products.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used as a decoration used by being attached to a predetermined object, in addition to a pseudo bait eyeball used in fishing and a target such as swimming fish. If it is such, the complicated and diverse pattern which is not in the past can be used for a predetermined target object as a decoration, and the attention of the viewer can be attracted. In addition, the user can select from various colors and patterns, and the selection range is increased, which is preferable. The “predetermined object” includes, for example, electronic devices such as personal computers, mobile phones, and digital cameras, personal items such as wallets, various cases, and key holders, and human nails.

  Here, what is shown in FIG. 4 schematically illustrates various shapes of decorations according to the present invention. By molding the present invention into an appropriate shape as in the illustrated example, it can be adapted to the user's preference as a so-called accessory, and the intended purpose can be achieved.

  The light reflector can be applied to various simulated baits, and is not limited to this embodiment. In other words, the present invention can be applied not only to so-called hard lures but also to soft lures such as worms, and to various other things.

  Various shapes of the substrate are conceivable, and the substrate is not limited to a sheet shape as in the present embodiment.

  Further, the material of the transparent raised layer is not limited to the epoxy resin, and other materials may be used as long as it is transparent, and various materials such as glass can be applied. The transparent raised layer may be a single layer or a multilayer structure.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
