A part or the whole of an optical disc is provided for an image object, the optical disc is disposed in a visible range on the extension from the front end part of the tube body, and an arrangement holding part having means for holding the arrangement of the optical disc is constituted in the kaleidoscope.

Description

  The present invention uses a part or all of an optical disc, that is, an optical disc type storage medium, as a video object so that both a geometric pattern and a non-geometric pattern can be viewed in a complex and diverse manner. Related to the kaleidoscope.

  In recent years, kaleidoscopes using light emitting diodes have been developed in pursuit of better visual beauty.

  As an example, the kaleidoscope of Patent Document 1 is an oil wand type kaleidoscope. However, a colored plastic piece in a cylindrical object case made of a transparent material provided perpendicular to the axial direction of the kaleidoscope body and filled with oil. There is an attempt to enhance the image formed by the slow movement of the backlight more beautifully by controlling the light emission of three types of light emitting diodes of red, green and blue in the backlight, to make the object stand out and to pursue further high-quality image beauty Has been.

  In the kaleidoscope of Patent Document 1, the three primary colors of light, red, green, and blue, are used for the light of the light emitting diode, but the root of the three colors starts with red of the sun rays and ends with purple. This is due to visible light.

  Therefore, it can be said that there is a limit to the reproduction of sunlight by the light emission control of the light emitting diodes of the three colors because it is artificial.

  The three elements of the kaleidoscope are the object of the mirror, light, and object, but the kaleidoscope is able to realize the better visual beauty unique to the kaleidoscope by efficiently taking in sunlight, which is natural light, and combining the daylighting with visualization. It is considered as one of the technical themes in making

  JP 2007-33974 A

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a conventional problem, and illuminates the sunlight-lighted surface of the optical disk on the information unwritten surface of the optical disk, and visualizes the reflected light subjected to the spectral processing with a kaleidoscope. To do.

  Therefore, in the conventional kaleidoscope, the geometric pattern made up of a collection of real images and virtual images with different rotation angles was the image, but in the present invention, the spectral analysis of sunlight is performed very easily. It is an object of the present invention to provide a kaleidoscope that realizes a colorful image by splitting it into monochromatic visible light, and simultaneously forms a non-geometric pattern as well as a geometric pattern.

  In order to achieve the above object, a kaleidoscope according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with a cylindrical cylinder that accommodates a triangular mirror arranged in a triangular shape with the mirror surface facing inward, and the rear end of the cylindrical body In the kaleidoscope provided with a viewing window in the section, a part or all of the optical disk of the kaleidoscope image object is arranged on an extension of the front end of the cylindrical body, and means for holding the arrangement of the optical disk is provided It is characterized by that.

  Examples of the optical disk include a CD and a DVD.

  The CD or the DVD is suitable for a state in which no information is written in order to realize a clearer image beauty.

The invention's effect

  In the present invention, when the object optical disc is irradiated with sunlight as described above, when the reflected light of a specific daylight enters the field of view of the practitioner, a radial is placed on the information writing surface of the optical disc. Iridescent stripes of light can be seen in the direction.

  Observing the streaks of light from the viewing window of a kaleidoscope, the kaleidoscope of the triangular mirror type has a geometrical shape of the light streaks that shines in rainbow colors against the background of the optical system CD-based green or DVD-based blue. Because it is a collection of traditional patterns, it becomes possible to enjoy the fantastic and mysterious images of kaleidoscopes of different dimensions that could not be experienced before.

  As a second visual effect of the present invention, it is possible to realize a non-geometric pattern instead of the conventional kaleidoscopic geometric pattern.

  In the conventional kaleidoscope, it was an image of a geometric pattern interwoven with a real image and a virtual image with an infinite number of rotation angles. In the present invention, however, the rainbow-colored streaks appearing on the information unwritten surface of the optical disc Since there is a slight difference in the reflection angle of the daylight between the real image and the virtual image on the triangular mirror, the hue of the light streak changes.

  Therefore, in the image appearing in the kaleidoscope of the present invention, the difference in the hue of the light streak increases the difference in the light streak for each virtual image that appears one after another in the triangular mirror in the kaleidoscope cylinder. Thus, it enables an image of a set of non-geometric patterns that are not geometric patterns.

  The non-geometric pattern that the optical disk, which is a kaleidoscope object according to the present invention, emerges from a new concept of spectrally processing the daylight, is a visual effect that could not be experienced by the conventional method of virtualizing the kaleidoscope object itself, Further expand the world of kaleidoscope visual beauty.

  Since the optical disk that is the object of the kaleidoscope of the present invention has a disk shape, it takes the form of a wheel-shaped kaleidoscope to be configured as a kaleidoscope, but as a second object between the optical disk and the triangular mirror, By providing a chamber containing the colored plastic pieces and colored glass pieces used in the above, a combined form of a wheel-type kaleidoscope and a changeable-type kaleidoscope may be taken.

  In the image of the kaleidoscope in the form of a combination of the wheel-type kaleidoscope and changeable kaleidoscope, the color of the first object, the optical disc, is different from the background of the non-geometric pattern of green on CD or blue on DVD There is also a pseudo 3D visual effect that makes the geometric pattern of the second object appear three-dimensionally.

  In carrying out the kaleidoscope of the present invention, the practitioner looks into the mirror housing part from the viewing window 2, and the position of the light source for collecting light is as shown in the overall perspective view of the kaleidoscope according to the present invention of FIG. The mirror body housing portion is located above the bolt 11 in the drawing, in other words, the mirror body housing portion must be in a kaleidoscope position closer to the light source than the bolt 11.

  When the kaleidoscope is in the above-described condition, a single rainbow-colored light streak is generated on the unrecorded surface 12 of the optical disc 13 by the daylighting, but the light streak is in the visible range when viewed through the viewing window 2. Adjust the lighting position of the kaleidoscope so that it falls within.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lens housing portion formed by the eyepiece cap 3, the cylindrical body 4, and the objective cap 7 is opposite to the state in which the lens body housing portion is located above the bolt 11 in the drawing. 11, the bolt 11 interferes with daylighting, so that the light streaks do not appear on the information unwritten surface 12 of the optical disc 13 in the visible range as viewed from the viewing window 2. The kaleidoscope visual effect does not appear.

  In the case where information is written on the information unwritten surface 12 of the optical disk 13 used for the object of the kaleidoscope of the present invention, a minute unevenness is formed on the information writing surface. Since the reflected light is irregularly reflected and the hue and saturation of the entire reflected light are extremely lowered, the image seen from the viewing window 2 of the kaleidoscope is considerably faded, and the image beauty of the original color of the kaleidoscope cannot be realized.

  Therefore, the information unwritten surface 12 of the optical disk 13 used in the present invention must be in an unwritten information state before the information is written without exception in other embodiments.

  The form of Example 2 of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows a partial use of the optical disk 13 that is used entirely in Example 1 of FIG. 2 by cutting it to 90 degrees, which is considered necessary for the purpose of cost reduction and weight reduction.

An image in which the non-geometric pattern and the geometric pattern are combined is seen so that the geometric pattern by the object 17 appears to appear.

  In the synthesized image, both the non-geometric pattern by the first object and the geometric pattern by the second object 17 are synthesized and seen, so that a pseudo 3D that could not be experienced with a conventional kaleidoscope is seen. The visual effect is obtained, and there is an advantage that the operability at the time of implementation is lighter than that of the third embodiment shown in FIG.

  The form of Example 5 of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the objective cap 7a and the object case 15 made of a transparent material have a detachable structure, and implement a changeable kaleidoscope that allows object exchange.

  In FIG. 6, the transparent object case 15 and the lid 16 made of transparent material or translucent material are detachable, and the lid 16 is partially used for the optical disk 13b as the first object. The direction of the information unwritten surface 12b of the optical disc 13b when the lid 16 is bonded to the object case 15 is partially assembled according to the inner diameter of the lid 16, and is assembled. This is performed on the surface where the information unwritten surface 12b can be seen from the viewing window 2 of the kaleidoscope.

  In the above, when processing the partial circular shape of the information unwritten surface 12b of the optical disc 13b, in order to generate a rainbow-colored light streak at the time of implementation, Cutting is performed so that a center line in the radial direction formed by connecting a line in a direction perpendicular to the side of the circumferential curve becomes a center line of the optical disk 13b of the partially circular processing.

  When the above-described optical disk 13b is used as the first object, a change in the image can be seen by rotating the mirror housing part or adjusting the lighting angle from the upper light source.

  In FIG. 6, the kaleidoscope of the fifth embodiment is a changeable kaleidoscope capable of exchanging objects. Therefore, when the lid 16 is removed, a second object such as a colored plastic piece, a colored glass piece, or a plant is placed inside the object case 15. It can be accommodated as an object and enjoyed by watching a video with a pseudo 3D visual effect.

  The form of Example 6 of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.
