［飲料用演出グラスの第１の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の飲料用演出グラスの第１の実施の形態を図面を用いて示す。
図１（ａ）に示すように、本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１はグラス本体１０と携帯型通信装置８０を固定するための固定機構１５と電波透過トンネル２０とから概略構成される。
グラス本体１０は上部開口１１を有する有底の筒状体であり、その内部に飲料を充填する事が出来る飲料用容器である。グラス本体１０の形状としては図１（ａ）のような通常のコップ型の形状の他に、取っ手を備えるビールジョッキ等が挙げられる。なお、グラス本体１０は通常のコップやビールジョッキと同じく水平方向に湾曲している（つまりグラス本体１０の形状は通常のコップやビールジョッキと同じく円筒形状の筒状体である）。図１（ｂ）の例のようにグラス本体１０の側面には電波を通過させることが可能な誘電体から成る第１電波透過面１２と第４電波透過面１３が形成されており、第１電波透過面１２と第４電波透過面１３は互いに対向して配置されている。なお、図１（ａ）の例ではグラス本体１０の側面全体を電波を通す誘電体で構成している（つまり図１（ａ）ではグラス側面全体を誘電体とすることで第１電波透過面１２と第４電波透過面１３のエリア両方とも誘電体にしている）。
固定機構１５は映像を表示する映像表示部、アンテナを備える無線通信部８５、音声を出力する音声出力部８６（つまりスピーカー）及びこれらの駆動を制御する制御部から成る携帯型通信装置８０をグラス本体１０の側面（又は側面近傍）に固定するための固定機構である。図１（ａ）の例では固定機構１５としてポケット機構を用いて携帯型通信装置８０をグラス本体１０側面に固定している。固定機構１５としてポケット機構以外にマグネット機構やネジ等を用いても良い。図１（ｂ）の例のように携帯型通信装置８０は（固定機構１５により）第４電波透過面１３の近傍に固定されており、固定機構１５により携帯型通信装置８０はグラス本体１０の外側に固定されている。
なお、本発明の飲料用演出グラス１で想定している携帯型通信装置８０はディスプレイ（つまり映像表示部８０）と無線通信部８５、音声出力部８６、及びこれらの駆動を制御する制御部（つまりコンピュータ）から成るスマートフォンや携帯電話、スマートフォン、ＰＤＡ、小型のノートパソコン等の通常の市販の携帯型通信装置又は携帯型通信端末装置を想定している。
電波透過トンネル２０はグラス本体１０の内部に固定されることによりグラス本体１０内に入射した電波をグラス本体１０の外部へ貫通させるための部材であり、電波を通過させることが可能な誘電体から成る。図１（ｂ）の例のように電波透過トンネル２０の側面には電波を通過させることが可能な誘電体から成る第２電波透過面２２と第３電波透過面２３が形成されており、第２電波透過面２２と第３電波透過面２３は互いに対向して配置されている。なお、図１（ａ）、図１（ｂ）中の破線矢印は説明のために携帯型通信装置８０に入射する電波の経路Ｐのイメージを表現した物である。第１電波透過面１２と第２電波透過面２２は両者間に飲料Ｌが存在した状態で電波（厳密には携帯型通信装置８０の電波）を通過させることが可能な程度に密着して配置されており、同じく、第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３は両者間に飲料Ｌが存在した状態で電波（厳密には携帯型通信装置８０の電波）を通過させることが可能な程度に密着して配置されているため、グラス本体１０が飲料充填時の場合でも第１電波透過面１２を通過した携帯型通信装置８０の電波が第２電波透過面２２と第３電波透過面２３を通過した後に第４電波透過面１３を通過して携帯型通信装置８０（より厳密には携帯型通信装置８０に内蔵されている無線通信部８５又はアンテナ部）に至る。電波透過トンネル２０はその内部も含めて全て（電波を通す）誘電体で構成されているためその電波透過トンネル２０により電波を遮蔽する飲料Ｌの悪影響を極力抑えてグラス本体１０内に電波の経路Ｐ（より厳密には電波の貫通経路Ｐ）を作り出す事が出来る。なお、図１（ａ）の例では電波透過トンネル２０はコの字フレーム２９と支持棒２８によりグラス本体１０内に固定（又は支持）されているが、電波透過トンネル２０のグラス本体１０内の固定方法としてはマグネット機構やネジ機構、係止爪機構などを用いても良い。[First embodiment of beverage presentation glass]
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of a drinking glass according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1(a), the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present embodiment is generally composed of a glass body 10, a fixing mechanism 15 for fixing a portable communication device 80, and a radio wave transmission tunnel 20.
The glass body 10 is a bottomed cylindrical body having an upper opening 11, and is a beverage container into which a beverage can be filled. Examples of the shape of the glass body 10 include the usual cup shape as shown in FIG. 1(a), as well as a beer mug with a handle. Note that the glass main body 10 is curved in the horizontal direction like a normal cup or beer mug (that is, the shape of the glass main body 10 is a cylindrical body like a normal cup or beer mug). As shown in the example of FIG. 1(b), a first radio wave transmitting surface 12 and a fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 made of a dielectric material capable of transmitting radio waves are formed on the side surface of the glass body 10. The radio wave transmitting surface 12 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 are arranged to face each other. In the example shown in FIG. 1A, the entire side surface of the glass body 10 is made of a dielectric material that transmits radio waves (that is, in FIG. 12 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 are both made of dielectric material).
The fixing mechanism 15 attaches to the glass a portable communication device 80 consisting of a video display unit that displays images, a wireless communication unit 85 that includes an antenna, an audio output unit 86 (that is, a speaker) that outputs audio, and a control unit that controls the driving of these units. This is a fixing mechanism for fixing to the side surface (or near the side surface) of the main body 10. In the example of FIG. 1A, a pocket mechanism is used as the fixing mechanism 15 to fix the portable communication device 80 to the side surface of the glass body 10. As the fixing mechanism 15, a magnet mechanism, a screw, or the like may be used in addition to the pocket mechanism. As in the example of FIG. 1(b), the portable communication device 80 is fixed near the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 (by the fixing mechanism 15), and the portable communication device 80 is fixed to the glass body 10 by the fixing mechanism 15. fixed on the outside.
Note that the portable communication device 80 assumed in the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present invention includes a display (that is, a video display section 80), a wireless communication section 85, an audio output section 86, and a control section ( In other words, the present invention assumes ordinary commercially available portable communication devices or portable communication terminal devices such as smart phones, mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, and small notebook computers (computers).
The radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is a member that is fixed inside the glass body 10 to allow the radio waves that have entered the glass body 10 to penetrate to the outside of the glass body 10, and is made of a dielectric material that allows the radio waves to pass through. Become. As shown in the example of FIG. 1(b), a second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and a third radio wave transmitting surface 23 made of a dielectric material through which radio waves can pass are formed on the side surface of the radio wave transmitting tunnel 20. The second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 are arranged to face each other. Note that the dashed arrows in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) represent an image of the path P of radio waves incident on the portable communication device 80 for the purpose of explanation. The first radio wave transmitting surface 12 and the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 are arranged in close contact with each other to the extent that radio waves (strictly speaking, radio waves from the portable communication device 80) can pass through them while the beverage L is present between them. Similarly, the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 are capable of passing radio waves (strictly speaking, radio waves of the portable communication device 80) in a state where the beverage L exists between them. Because they are arranged in close contact with each other, even when the glass body 10 is filled with a drink, the radio waves from the portable communication device 80 that have passed through the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 are transmitted to the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the third radio wave transmitting surface. 23 and then the fourth radio wave transmission surface 13 to reach the portable communication device 80 (more precisely, the wireless communication section 85 or antenna section built into the portable communication device 80). The radio wave transmission tunnel 20, including its interior, is entirely made of a dielectric material (which allows radio waves to pass through), so the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 minimizes the negative effects of the beverage L that shields radio waves, and allows the radio waves to pass through the glass body 10. P (more precisely, a radio wave penetration path P) can be created. In the example of FIG. 1(a), the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is fixed (or supported) inside the glass body 10 by the U-shaped frame 29 and the support rod 28, but the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 inside the glass body 10 As a fixing method, a magnet mechanism, a screw mechanism, a locking claw mechanism, etc. may be used.
電波透過トンネル２０について図１（ｂ）を用いて補足説明をする。
第１電波透過面１２と第２電波透過面２２との間の距離Ｇ１および第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３との間の距離Ｇ２をどの程度の距離まで近接させれば（携帯型通信装置８０が受信可能な程度の）電波が通過するかは、ターゲットとなる携帯型通信装置８０の電波の周波数及びグラス本体１０に充填する飲料Ｌの種類（より厳密には飲料の導電率）により異なる。マクスウェル電磁方程式や電波の平面波を記述した式により物体の導電率が高い程、電波の周波数が高い程、物体内に侵入した電波の減衰は激しくなることが知られている（詳細は電磁気学及び電波工学の基礎の専門書を参照されたい）。別の言い方をすれば、飲料Ｌの導電率が高い程、電波の周波数が高い程、表皮深さδ［ｍ］が短くなる（詳細は電磁気学及び電波工学の基礎の専門書を参照されたい）。そのため電波が高周波の場合は電波が低周波の場合に比して距離Ｇ１および距離Ｇ２は短く設定しなければならない。また、グラス本体１０に充填する（つまりターゲットとする）飲料Ｌの導電率が高い場合は導電率が低い場合に比して距離Ｇ１および距離Ｇ２は短く設定しなければならない。
原理的には距離Ｇ１＝０［ｍ］（つまり第１電波透過面１２と第２電波透過面２２を密着させる）及び距離Ｇ２＝０［ｍ］（つまり第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３を密着させる）にすれば（電波の経路Ｐには電波を遮蔽する原因となる飲料Ｌが一切存在しなくなるため）どのような周波数の電波でもどのような種類の飲料でもグラス本体１０を貫通出来るようになるが、むやみに距離Ｇ１と距離Ｇ２を０［ｍ］にするとその分だけグラス本体１０内に充填出来る飲料Ｌの容積が減るというデメリットが存在するため注意が必要である。
本発明の飲料用演出グラス１を設計或いは製造する際は、グラス本体１０を貫通（通過させる）携帯型通信装置８０の電波の周波数、飲料Ｌの種類（厳密には飲料Ｌの導電率）、携帯型通信装置８０に最低限受信させたい電波の振幅の強さ（つまり電界強度）、そしてグラス本体１０に充填したい飲料Ｌの容積を事前に決定しておき、それらパラメータに合わせて最適な距離Ｇ１と距離Ｇ２を求めておくと良い。なお、具体的な距離Ｇ１と距離Ｇ２の算出方法ついては、コンピュータを用いた有限要素法やＦＤＴＤ法などの電磁場数値解析又は実際の飲料や電波を用いた実験による実測により算出すると良い。A supplementary explanation will be given regarding the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 using FIG. 1(b).
How close should the distance G1 between the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 and the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the distance G2 between the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 be ( Whether radio waves that can be received by the portable communication device 80 pass through depends on the frequency of the radio waves of the target portable communication device 80 and the type of beverage L filled in the glass body 10 (more precisely, the conductivity of the beverage). rate). It is known that the higher the electrical conductivity of an object and the higher the frequency of radio waves, the more severe the attenuation of radio waves that enter the object will be (for details, refer to electromagnetism and (Please refer to specialized books on the basics of radio engineering). In other words, the higher the conductivity of the beverage L and the higher the frequency of the radio waves, the shorter the skin depth δ [m] (for details, please refer to specialized books on the basics of electromagnetism and radio engineering. ). Therefore, when the radio waves are high frequency, the distance G1 and the distance G2 must be set shorter than when the radio waves are low frequency. Moreover, when the electrical conductivity of the beverage L to be filled into the glass body 10 (that is, the target) is high, the distance G1 and the distance G2 must be set shorter than when the electrical conductivity is low.
In principle, the distance G1 = 0 [m] (that is, the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 and the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 are brought into close contact) and the distance G2 = 0 [m] (that is, the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 22 are brought into close contact with each other). If the transmitting surface 13 is brought into close contact with the glass body 10 (because there will be no beverage L on the radio wave path P that would block the radio waves), the glass body 10 can be used for radio waves of any frequency and for any type of beverage. However, if you unnecessarily set the distance G1 and the distance G2 to 0 [m], there is a disadvantage that the volume of the beverage L that can be filled into the glass body 10 will be reduced accordingly, so care must be taken.
When designing or manufacturing the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present invention, the frequency of the radio waves of the portable communication device 80 that penetrates (passes through) the glass body 10, the type of beverage L (strictly speaking, the conductivity of the beverage L), Determine in advance the minimum amplitude strength of radio waves (that is, electric field strength) that you want the portable communication device 80 to receive and the volume of the beverage L that you want to fill in the glass body 10, and then determine the optimal distance according to these parameters. It is better to calculate G1 and distance G2. Note that the specific method for calculating the distance G1 and the distance G2 is preferably calculated by electromagnetic field numerical analysis using a computer, such as the finite element method or the FDTD method, or by actual measurement through experiments using actual drinks and radio waves.
本発明の飲料用演出グラス１ではグラス本体１０内に（電波を通す）誘電体から成る電波透過トンネル２０が存在するため図２（ａ）のように携帯基地局Ｂからの電波はグラス本体１０及びその内部の飲料Ｌを貫通する事が出来る。
一方、仮に電波透過トンネル２０がグラス本体１０内に存在しない場合は図２（ｂ）のように携帯基地局Ｂからの電波をグラス本体１０側面の携帯型通信装置８０の方向に向けて貫通させる事が不可能なため（電波は飲料Ｌに吸収されるか飲料Ｌの表面で反射する）、携帯型通信装置８０が受信可能な電波は（壁などの）他の物体で反射した電波かグラス本体１０の周囲を（回り込んで）回折した電波しか受信出来なくなる。つまり、図２（ｂ）の例（電波透過トンネル２０が存在しない場合）では携帯基地局Ｂと携帯型通信装置８０の間の電波送信距離が図１（ａ）の例（電波透過トンネル２０が存在する場合）に比して長くなる。その為、電波透過トンネル２０を備える本発明の飲料用演出グラス１では携帯基地局Ｂの電波の受信効率が（電波透過トンネル２０が存在しない場合に比して）良い。
なお、本発明の飲料用演出グラス１では電波透過トンネル２０はその内部も含めて全て（電波を通す）誘電体で構成されている必要が有る。In the drinking glass 1 of the present invention, there is a radio wave transmission tunnel 20 made of a dielectric material (through which radio waves pass) in the glass body 10, so that the radio waves from the mobile base station B are transmitted through the glass body 10 as shown in FIG. 2(a). and can penetrate the beverage L inside it.
On the other hand, if the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 does not exist inside the glass body 10, the radio waves from the mobile base station B are passed through in the direction of the portable communication device 80 on the side surface of the glass body 10, as shown in FIG. 2(b). Since this is impossible (the radio waves are absorbed by the beverage L or reflected by the surface of the beverage L), the radio waves that can be received by the portable communication device 80 are radio waves reflected by other objects (such as walls) or glasses. Only radio waves that have been diffracted around (around) the main body 10 can be received. That is, in the example of FIG. 2(b) (when the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 does not exist), the radio wave transmission distance between the mobile base station B and the mobile communication device 80 is the same as the example of FIG. (if it exists). Therefore, in the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present invention including the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, the reception efficiency of radio waves from the mobile base station B is better (compared to the case where the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 does not exist).
In addition, in the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present invention, the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, including its interior, must be entirely composed of a dielectric material (through which radio waves pass).
［飲料用演出グラスの第２の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の飲料用演出グラスの第２の実施の形態を図面を用いて示すが、上記第１の実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１と同一の構成となる箇所については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１は図３（ａ）や図３（ｂ）に示すように、電波透過トンネルは透明な材料から成る上端面２４を備え、電波透過トンネル２０は（その内部も含めて）全て透明な誘電体から成り、第３電波透過面２３は透明な誘電体から成り、第４電波透過面１３（つまり携帯型通信装置８０が存在する側のグラス本体１０の側面）は透明な誘電体から成るため、ユーザーＵは携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２（厳密には映像表示部８１の画像８２）を第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３とその上端面２４越しにグラス本体１０の外部から視認することが可能である。なお、図３（ａ）や図３（ｂ）の例ではグラス本体１０側面全体を透明な誘電体とすることで第４電波透過面１３のエリアも含めて透明な誘電体にしている。
図３（ａ）や図３（ｂ）の画像８２の投射光路Ｗに示されるように、携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２（厳密には画像８２の光）は第４電波透過面１３と第３電波透過面２３を透過した後に上端面２４を透過し上部開口１１に至る。
電波透過トンネル２０は透明な誘電体（より厳密には無色透明な誘電体）から成るため、飲料Ｌが光透過性が低い飲料の場合（例えば濃い色のお茶や赤ワインなど）でもユーザーＵ１は上部開口１１から携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２（厳密には画像８２の反射像８８）を第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３とその上端面２４越しに視認する事が可能である（つまり、電波透過トンネル２０により画像８２の光の投射光路Ｗ周囲の空間に光透過性が低い飲料Ｌが入り込む事を防いでいる）。電波透過トンネル２０により画像８２の投射光路Ｗ周囲の空間を飲料Ｌの色や透明度に関わらず強制的に透明化（厳密には無色透明化）することでユーザーＵは上部開口１１から画像８２の光を視認可能になる。また、ユーザーＵがグラス本体１０内の飲料Ｌを飲むことにより飲料Ｌの水位が下がり上端面２４が空気に触れるようになるため、本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１はユーザーが飲んだ飲料Ｌの量に応じて（つまり飲料Ｌのグラス本体内の水位に応じて）第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３と上端面２４越しに見える携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２の明るさが調整可能である。[Second embodiment of beverage glass]
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the beverage presentation glass of the present invention will be shown using drawings, and parts having the same configuration as the beverage presentation glass 1 of the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals. The explanation will be omitted.
As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment includes a radio wave transmission tunnel having an upper end surface 24 made of a transparent material, and a radio wave transmission tunnel 20 (inside thereof). The third radio wave transmitting surface 23 is made of a transparent dielectric material, and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 (that is, the side surface of the glass body 10 on the side where the portable communication device 80 is present) is made of a transparent dielectric material. is made of a transparent dielectric material, so the user U can view the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (more specifically, the image 82 of the video display section 81) on the third radio wave transmitting surface 23, the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13, and their upper end surfaces. It is possible to visually recognize it from the outside of the glass body 10 through 24. In the examples shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the entire side surface of the glass body 10 is made of a transparent dielectric, including the area of the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13.
As shown in the projection optical path W of the image 82 in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (strictly speaking, the light of the image 82) After passing through the third radio wave transmission surface 23, the light passes through the upper end surface 24 and reaches the upper opening 11.
Since the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is made of a transparent dielectric material (more precisely, a colorless and transparent dielectric material), even if the beverage L has low light transmittance (for example, dark tea or red wine), the user U1 can It is possible to visually recognize an image 82 (more specifically, a reflected image 88 of the image 82) of the portable communication device 80 through the opening 11 through the third radio wave transmitting surface 23, the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13, and the upper end surface 24 thereof. (In other words, the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 prevents the beverage L with low light transmittance from entering the space around the projection optical path W of the light of the image 82.) By forcibly making the space around the projection optical path W of the image 82 transparent (strictly colorless and transparent) by the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, regardless of the color and transparency of the beverage L, the user U can view the image 82 from the upper opening 11. Light becomes visible. Further, when the user U drinks the beverage L in the glass body 10, the water level of the beverage L decreases and the upper end surface 24 comes into contact with the air. The brightness of the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 seen through the third radio wave transmitting surface 23, the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13, and the upper end surface 24 depends on the amount of L (that is, according to the water level in the glass body of the beverage L). The height is adjustable.
［飲料用演出グラスの第３の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の飲料用演出グラスの第３の実施の形態を図面を用いて示すが、上記第１の実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１と同一の構成となる箇所については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
図４（ａ）に示すように、本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では電波透過トンネル２０の内部に空気が充填可能なチャンバー２５（又は気密性を有した空気室）を備える。
チャンバー２５により電波透過トンネル２０を軽量化出来る。更に、空気は非常に電波を通し易い優秀な誘電体であるため（空気はガラスや樹脂よりも電波を通し易い）、電波透過トンネル２０にチャンバー２５を設けて（電波透過トンネル２０を）中空構造にすることで電波透過トンネル２０の電波透過率を飛躍的に高める事が可能である。なお、チャンバー２５は空気が外部の空間に逃げないように気密性を有する事が望ましい。[Third embodiment of beverage glass]
Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the beverage presentation glass of the present invention will be shown using drawings, and parts having the same configuration as the beverage presentation glass 1 of the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals. The explanation will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment includes a chamber 25 (or an airtight air chamber) that can be filled with air inside the radio wave transmission tunnel 20.
The chamber 25 allows the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 to be made lighter. Furthermore, since air is an excellent dielectric material that allows radio waves to pass through easily (air passes radio waves more easily than glass or resin), a chamber 25 is provided in the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 (radio wave transmission tunnel 20) to form a hollow structure. By doing so, it is possible to dramatically increase the radio wave transmittance of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20. Note that the chamber 25 is desirably airtight so that air does not escape to the outside space.
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では図４（ａ）のようにチャンバー２５は携帯型通信装置８０内蔵の音声出力部８６（つまりスピーカー）から発生する音波に曝される位置に有るため、チャンバー２５内の空間で音声出力部８６の音波を共振増幅させる事が可能である。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では図４（ａ）のように携帯型通信装置８０の音声出力部８６（つまりスピーカー）の音波をチャンバー２５内の空間で効率良く伝送させるために、第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３との間の距離Ｇ２（厳密には最短距離Ｇ２）を１８［ｍｍ］（可聴領域の音波の波長のうち最も短い音波の波長）より短くしても良い。
物理の基本法則（厳密には最小作用の原理）又は音波の基本的な性質により音波発生源（つまり音声出力部８６又はスピーカー）から放射された音波のエネルギーは図４（ｂ）のように音波発生源から離れれば離れる程、放射状に拡散して弱くなる。例えば音声出力部８６から１波長（λ［ｍ］）分離れた位置で受信できる音声出力部８６の音波のエネルギーは音声出力部８６から５波長（５λ［ｍ］）分離れた位置で受信できるエネルギーに比して低くなる。
また、人間の耳が聞きとれる音の周波数範囲は、２０［Ｈｚ］から２０，０００［Ｈｚ］の範囲（これを可聴領域と言う）だと言われており、空気中の音の速度は約３４０［ｍ／ｓ］～約３６０［ｍ／ｓ］のため、空気中を伝わる２０，０００［Ｈｚ］（つまり可聴領域の最も高い周波数）の音の波長は約１７［ｍｍ］から１８［ｍｍ］になる（詳細は音響工学の専門書を参照されたい）。そのため携帯型通信装置８０の音声出力部８６（スピーカー）の音波又は音のエネルギーを効率よく電波透過トンネル２０のチャンバー２５内の空間に伝えるためには第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３との間の距離Ｇ２は少なくとも１８［ｍｍ］以下である事が望ましい。別の言い方をすると距離Ｇ２は人間の可聴領域の最も高い周波数（２０，０００［Ｈｚ］）の１波長分（１８［ｍｍ］）以下の長さであることが望ましい。
距離Ｇ２を１８［ｍｍ］以下（つまり１波長分λ［ｍ］以下）にすることにより可聴領域の最も高い周波数部分（２０，０００［Ｈｚ］）の音波も（周囲の空間に無駄に）拡散させずに効率よくチャンバー２５内の空間に伝える事が可能である。つまり、距離Ｇ２を１８［ｍｍ］以下にすることによりチャンバー２５の空間で共振させる２０，０００［Ｈｚ］近傍の帯域の音量又は音のエネルギーを大きくする事が可能になる。
なお、可聴領域の低周波部分（例えば２０［Ｈｚ］）の音波は１波長の長さが約１８［ｍ］と（可聴領域の高周波部分の波長１８［ｍｍ］に比して）非常に巨大な値になる。そのため、距離Ｇ２が可聴領域の最も高い周波数（２０，０００［Ｈｚ］）の１波長分（１８［ｍｍ］）以下の条件を満たしてさえいれば自動的に距離Ｇ２が可聴領域の最も低い周波数（２０［Ｈｚ］）の１波長分以下（１８［ｍ］）の条件も満たすことになる（これは音波の周波数が低くなる程その音波の波長が長くなるという音波の基本原理による）。つまり、距離Ｇ２が１８［ｍｍ］より短ければ全可聴領域（２０［Ｈｚ］から２０，０００［Ｈｚ］）に渡ってチャンバー２５内の空間（共振用空間）に音声出力部８６の音波を効率よく伝送できる。なお、本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３との間に存在する（つまり距離Ｇ２内に在る）飲料Ｌは音波伝達媒質として機能する（水や飲料の音響インピーダンスは空気のそれに比して大きいが距離Ｇ２が１８［ｍｍ］と非常に短い値に設定すれば、特に問題無くチャンバー２５内空間に音波は届く）。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では電波透過トンネル２０を高効率の音の共振増幅器としても利用できる方法を説明した。ユーザーは本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１を用いれば携帯型通信装置８０の音声出力部８６（スピーカー）のサウンドボリュームを上げる（或いは電気的に増幅する）事無しに大きな音や通話音声を楽しめる。In the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the chamber 25 is located at a position where it is exposed to the sound waves generated from the audio output section 86 (that is, the speaker) built into the portable communication device 80. It is possible to resonate and amplify the sound waves of the audio output section 86 in the space inside the chamber 25.
In the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The distance G2 (strictly speaking, the shortest distance G2) between the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 is made shorter than 18 [mm] (the shortest sound wave wavelength among the sound wave wavelengths in the audible range). Also good.
According to the basic laws of physics (strictly speaking, the principle of least action) or the basic properties of sound waves, the energy of the sound waves radiated from the sound wave generation source (that is, the audio output section 86 or the speaker) becomes a sound wave as shown in FIG. 4(b). The further away you are from the source, the weaker it becomes as it spreads out radially. For example, the sound wave energy of the audio output unit 86 that can be received at a position one wavelength (λ [m]) away from the audio output unit 86 can be received at a position five wavelengths (5λ [m]) away from the audio output unit 86. It is low compared to the energy.
The frequency range of sound that the human ear can hear is said to be from 20 [Hz] to 20,000 [Hz] (this is called the audible range), and the speed of sound in the air is approximately 340 [m/s] to approximately 360 [m/s], the wavelength of sound at 20,000 [Hz] (that is, the highest frequency in the audible range) that travels through the air is approximately 17 [mm] to 18 [mm]. ] (Please refer to specialized books on acoustic engineering for details). Therefore, in order to efficiently transmit the sound waves or sound energy from the audio output section 86 (speaker) of the portable communication device 80 to the space inside the chamber 25 of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, it is necessary to use the third radio wave transmission surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmission surface. 13 is desirably at least 18 [mm] or less. In other words, the distance G2 is preferably one wavelength (18 [mm]) of the highest frequency (20,000 [Hz]) in the human audible range or less.
By setting the distance G2 to 18 [mm] or less (that is, one wavelength λ [m] or less), the sound waves in the highest frequency part of the audible range (20,000 [Hz]) can also be spread (uselessly into the surrounding space). It is possible to efficiently transmit the information to the space within the chamber 25 without causing any damage. In other words, by setting the distance G2 to 18 [mm] or less, it becomes possible to increase the volume or the energy of sound in a band around 20,000 [Hz] that resonates in the space of the chamber 25.
In addition, the length of one wavelength of a sound wave in the low frequency part of the audible range (for example, 20 [Hz]) is approximately 18 [m], which is extremely large (compared to the wavelength of 18 [mm] in the high frequency part of the audible range). becomes the value. Therefore, as long as the distance G2 satisfies the condition that it is one wavelength (18 [mm]) or less of the highest frequency (20,000 [Hz]) in the audible range, the distance G2 automatically becomes the lowest frequency in the audible range. This also satisfies the condition of one wavelength (18 [m]) of (20 [Hz]) (this is based on the basic principle of sound waves that the lower the frequency of the sound wave, the longer the wavelength of the sound wave). In other words, if the distance G2 is shorter than 18 [mm], the sound waves of the audio output unit 86 are efficiently transmitted to the space (resonance space) in the chamber 25 over the entire audible range (20 [Hz] to 20,000 [Hz]). Can be transmitted well. In addition, in the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present embodiment, the beverage L that exists between the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 (that is, within the distance G2) functions as a sound wave transmission medium. (Although the acoustic impedance of water and beverages is larger than that of air, if the distance G2 is set to a very short value of 18 [mm], the sound waves will reach the interior space of the chamber 25 without any problems).
In the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, a method has been described in which the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 can also be used as a highly efficient sound resonance amplifier. By using the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, the user can make loud noises or call voices without increasing the sound volume (or electrically amplifying) the audio output unit 86 (speaker) of the portable communication device 80. You can enjoy it.
［飲料用演出グラスの第４の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の飲料用演出グラスの第４の実施の形態を図面を用いて示すが、上記第３の実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１と同一の構成となる箇所については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１は図５に示すように、（電波透過トンネル２０内の）チャンバー２５の空間に着脱可能なビームスプリッター３０を備え、チャンバー２５内の空間にビームスプリッター３０を挿入（或いは着脱または装着）するための挿入口３１を（電波透過トンネル２０に）備え、第１電波透過面１２は透明な誘電体から成り、第２電波透過面２２は透明な誘電体から成り、第３電波透過面２３は透明な誘電体から成り、第４電波透過面１３は透明な誘電体から成り、電波透過トンネルは全て透明な誘電体２０から成り、携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２は第４電波透過面１３と第３電波透過面２３と第２電波透過面２２と第１電波透過面を（順番に）透過し、ビームスプリッター３０で反射された携帯型通信装置８０（より厳密には映像表示部８１）の画像８２が電波透過トンネル２０の上面部又は上部を透過して上部開口１１（つまりグラス本体１０の外部）に至ることが特徴である。（なお、ビームスプリッター３０は画像８２の光を上部開口１１方向へ反射するために図５のようにグラス本体１０底面に対して傾斜してチャンバー２５内に固定されている）。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では図５のようにビームスプリッター３０は透明な電波透過トンネル２０の内部に収納される構造になっているため、飲料Ｌが光透過性が低い飲料の場合（例えば濃い色のお茶や赤ワインなど）でもユーザーＵ１は上部開口１１から携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２（厳密には画像８２の反射像８８）を視認する事が可能である（つまり、電波透過トンネル２０によりビームスプリッター３０の周囲の空間に光透過性が低い飲料Ｌが入り込む事を防いでいる）。電波透過トンネル２０によりビームスプリッター３０周囲の空間を飲料Ｌの色や透明度に関わらず強制的に透明化（厳密には無色透明化）することで画像８２の光の投射光路Ｗ１及び光の投射光路Ｗ２の大部分或いは全てを強制的に透明化している（なお、図５の例では画像８２の光がビームスプリッター３０で反射する投射光路を投射光路Ｗ１とし、画像８２の光がビームスプリッター３０で透過する投射光路を投射光路Ｗ２と記載している）。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では透明（厳密には無色透明）な電波透過トンネル２０内（チャンバー２５内）にビームスプリッター３０を挿入口３１より挿入（装着）することにより電波透過トンネル２０全体を巨大なビームスプリッターとして使用する事が可能である。なお、電波透過トンネル２０をビームスプリッターとして用いたくない場合は挿入口３１よりビームスプリッター３０を電波透過トンネル２０の外に取り出せば良い。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では飲料Ｌの透明度や状況に応じて電波透過トンネル２０のビームスプリッター化をＯＮ－ＯＦＦ出来るのが大きなメリットである。
ビームスプリッターで反射した反射像８８について一つ注意点が有る。図５のように電波透過トンネル２０内に配置されたビームスプリッター３０は携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２の光の一部（ビームスプリッター３０がハーフミラーの場合は５０％）を第２電波透過面２２（又は第１電波透過面１２）方向に透過するため、その透過による損失分だけ必ず電波透過トンネル２０の上部又は上面を透過する画像８２の光（つまり反射像８８の光）は減衰するので注意が必要である。そのため、ビームスプリッター３０で反射した反射像８８はビームスプリッター３０を介さないで第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３越しに直接視認した場合の画像８２に比して暗くなる。そのため明るい光の画像８２を上部開口１１から電波透過トンネル２０越しに視認したい場合はビームスプリッター３０を介さずに直接第３電波透過面２３と第４電波透過面１３越しに見た方が良い（その方がユーザーはビームスプリッター３０を介して視認する場合に比して画像８２が明るく見える）。
なお、ビームスプリッター３０をチャンバー２５内に固定する方法はマグネット機構や係止爪機構又はネジ等の取り外しが可能な機構や方法を用いるが望ましい。また、挿入口３１は電波透過トンネル２０のどこに設けても構わない。[Fourth embodiment of beverage glass]
Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the beverage glass according to the present invention will be described with reference to drawings, and parts having the same structure as the beverage glass 1 of the third embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals. The explanation will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 5, the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment includes a beam splitter 30 that is detachable in the space of a chamber 25 (inside the radio wave transmission tunnel 20). An insertion opening 31 (in the radio wave transmission tunnel 20) for insertion (or attachment/detachment or mounting) is provided, the first radio wave transmission surface 12 is made of a transparent dielectric, and the second radio wave transmission surface 22 is made of a transparent dielectric. , the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 is made of a transparent dielectric, the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 is made of a transparent dielectric, the radio wave transmitting tunnel is entirely made of the transparent dielectric 20, and the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 is transmits (in order) through the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13, the third radio wave transmitting surface 23, the second radio wave transmitting surface 22, and the first radio wave transmitting surface, and is reflected by the beam splitter 30 of the portable communication device 80 (more precisely The feature is that the image 82 of the video display section 81) passes through the upper surface or upper part of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 and reaches the upper opening 11 (that is, the outside of the glass body 10). (The beam splitter 30 is fixed in the chamber 25 at an angle with respect to the bottom surface of the glass body 10 as shown in FIG. 5 in order to reflect the light of the image 82 toward the upper opening 11.)
In the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, the beam splitter 30 is housed inside the transparent radio wave transmission tunnel 20 as shown in FIG. (for example, dark-colored tea or red wine), the user U1 can visually recognize the image 82 (more precisely, the reflected image 88 of the image 82) of the portable communication device 80 through the upper opening 11 (that is, the radio wave transmission The tunnel 20 prevents the beverage L with low light transmittance from entering the space around the beam splitter 30). By forcibly making the space around the beam splitter 30 transparent (strictly, colorless and transparent) by the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, regardless of the color and transparency of the beverage L, the light projection optical path W1 of the image 82 and the light projection optical path Most or all of W2 is forcibly made transparent (in the example of FIG. The transmitted projection optical path is referred to as a projection optical path W2).
In the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, the beam splitter 30 is inserted (installed) into the transparent (strictly colorless and transparent) radio wave transmission tunnel 20 (inside the chamber 25) through the insertion opening 31. The whole can be used as a giant beam splitter. In addition, if it is not desired to use the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 as a beam splitter, the beam splitter 30 can be taken out of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 through the insertion port 31.
A major advantage of the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment is that the beam splitter of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 can be turned on and off depending on the transparency of the beverage L and the situation.
There is one point to note regarding the reflected image 88 reflected by the beam splitter. As shown in FIG. 5, the beam splitter 30 disposed inside the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 directs part of the light of the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (50% if the beam splitter 30 is a half mirror) to the second radio wave transmission surface. 22 (or the first radio wave transmission surface 12) direction, the light of the image 82 (that is, the light of the reflected image 88) that necessarily passes through the upper part or top surface of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is attenuated by the loss due to the transmission. Caution must be taken. Therefore, the reflected image 88 reflected by the beam splitter 30 is darker than the image 82 when viewed directly through the third radio wave transmitting surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13 without passing through the beam splitter 30. Therefore, if you want to view the bright light image 82 through the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 from the upper opening 11, it is better to view it directly through the third radio wave transmission surface 23 and the fourth radio wave transmission surface 13 without going through the beam splitter 30 ( In this case, the image 82 appears brighter to the user than when viewed through the beam splitter 30).
Note that, as a method for fixing the beam splitter 30 in the chamber 25, it is preferable to use a removable mechanism or method such as a magnet mechanism, a locking claw mechanism, or a screw. Further, the insertion port 31 may be provided anywhere in the radio wave transmission tunnel 20.
図６（ａ）や図６（ｂ）のようにチャンバー２５内外の空間を繋げるための下部開口２６を電波透過トンネル２０の下端近傍（または下部エリア）に備えても良い。これは、グラス本体１０を傾斜させた際にチャンバー２５内の空間に飲料Ｌが流れ込まないようにするための工夫である（グラス本体１０内の飲料Ｌの水圧によりチャンバー２５内の空気は常に上方向に向かうため、電波透過トンネル２０の下端近傍に下部開口２６を設けても下部開口２６からチャンバー２５内の空間に飲料Ｌが流れ込むことは殆ど無い）。
下部開口２６はチャンバー２５内にビームスプリッター３０を出し入れするための挿入口３１としても機能する。
図６（ｂ）のように下部開口２６を塞ぐための蓋２７を備えても良い。下部開口２６に取り付けられた蓋２７が受ける水圧はグラス本体１０の上部開口１１方向に掛かるため蓋２７によりチャンバー２５内の空間に飲料Ｌが流れ込むのを強固に防げる（チャンバー２５の気密性を強固に高められる）。
なお、本願発明と直接関係無いが、我が国においては空気を充填する空間や部屋をチャンバー（英：ｃｈａｍｂｅｒ）ではなくチェンバーと発音することもあるが、本願明細ではチャンバーの表記に統一する。As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, a lower opening 26 for connecting the space inside and outside the chamber 25 may be provided near the lower end (or lower area) of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20. This is a device to prevent the beverage L from flowing into the space inside the chamber 25 when the glass body 10 is tilted (the air inside the chamber 25 is always raised due to the water pressure of the beverage L inside the glass body 10). Therefore, even if the lower opening 26 is provided near the lower end of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, the beverage L hardly flows into the space inside the chamber 25 from the lower opening 26).
The lower opening 26 also functions as an insertion port 31 for inserting and removing the beam splitter 30 into and out of the chamber 25 .
A lid 27 for closing the lower opening 26 may be provided as shown in FIG. 6(b). The water pressure that the lid 27 attached to the lower opening 26 receives is applied in the direction of the upper opening 11 of the glass body 10, so the lid 27 can strongly prevent the beverage L from flowing into the space inside the chamber 25 (reinforces the airtightness of the chamber 25). ).
Although not directly related to the present invention, in Japan, a space or room filled with air is sometimes pronounced as "chamber" instead of "chamber", but in the present specification, it is unified as "chamber".
［飲料用演出グラスの第５の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の飲料用演出グラスの第５の実施の形態を図面を用いて示すが、前述の第１の実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１と同一の構成となる箇所については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１は図７（ａ）に示すように、電波透過トンネル２０は全て透明な誘電体から成り、第１電波透過面１２は透明な誘電体から成り、第２電波透過面２２は透明な誘電体から成り、第３電波透過面２３は透明な誘電体から成り、第４電波透過面１３は透明な誘電体から成り、第２電波透過面２２は平坦であり、第１電波透過面１２はグラス本体１０の外側に向けて凸形状に湾曲しており、携帯型通信装置８０（厳密には映像表示部８１）の画像８２の光は第４電波透過面１３、第３波透過面２３、第２電波透過面２２、第１電波透過面１２の順に透過し、グラス本体１０に飲料充填時に携帯型通信装置８０（厳密には映像表示部８１）の画像８２が第２電波透過面２２と第１電波透過面の間の飲料を透過することにより携帯型通信装置８０（映像表示部８１）の画像８２が拡大されることを特徴とする。
図７（ｂ）に示すように、第２電波透過面２２と第１電波透過面１２の間の飲料Ｌ（又は飲料Ｌ２）は平凸レンズと同じ形状になるため、携帯型通信装置８０の画像８２がその平凸レンズの形状になった飲料のエリア（つまり第２電波透過面２２と第１電波透過面１２間の飲料Ｌ２のエリア）を透過することにより図７（ａ）の透過画像８７のように画像８２に比して水平方向に拡大される。水の光の屈折率は約１．３３であり空気の屈折率に比して高いため平凸レンズ形状になった飲料Ｌ２のエリアが光学レンズ（飲料レンズ）として画像８２を拡大する。
本実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１では、第２電波透過面２２と第１電波透過面１２の間の飲料Ｌ（又は飲料Ｌ２）を平凸レンズとしているため、図７（ａ）や図７（ｂ）に示すように飲料Ｌによる（平凸レンズの形状の）飲料レンズＬ２のエリアをユーザーＵから見て電波透過トンネル２０よりも手前側に配置できるため（つまりユーザーＵの眼前に配置出来るため）、ユーザーＵから見た透過画像８７（画像８２の拡大像）の迫力や臨場感を高める事が可能である。[Fifth embodiment of beverage glass]
Hereinafter, a fifth embodiment of the beverage presentation glass of the present invention will be shown using drawings, and parts having the same configuration as the beverage presentation glass 1 of the first embodiment described above will have the same reference numerals. , and the explanation thereof will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 7(a), in the beverage presentation glass 1 of this embodiment, the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is entirely made of a transparent dielectric, the first radio wave transmission surface 12 is made of a transparent dielectric, and the second radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is made of a transparent dielectric. The radio wave transmission surface 22 is made of a transparent dielectric, the third radio wave transmission surface 23 is made of a transparent dielectric, the fourth radio wave transmission surface 13 is made of a transparent dielectric, and the second radio wave transmission surface 22 is flat. , the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 is curved in a convex shape toward the outside of the glass body 10, and the light of the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (strictly speaking, the video display section 81) passes through the fourth radio wave transmitting surface 13. , the third wave transmitting surface 23, the second radio wave transmitting surface 22, and the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 in this order, and an image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (strictly speaking, the video display section 81) is transmitted when the drink is filled into the glass body 10. is characterized in that the image 82 of the portable communication device 80 (image display section 81) is enlarged by transmitting the beverage between the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the first radio wave transmitting surface.
As shown in FIG. 7B, since the beverage L (or beverage L2) between the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 has the same shape as a plano-convex lens, the image of the portable communication device 80 is 82 transmits through the area of the beverage that has the shape of a plano-convex lens (that is, the area of the beverage L2 between the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the first radio wave transmitting surface 12), thereby creating the transmitted image 87 of FIG. 7(a). The image is enlarged in the horizontal direction compared to the image 82. Since the refractive index of water light is about 1.33, which is higher than that of air, the area of the beverage L2, which is shaped like a plano-convex lens, magnifies the image 82 as an optical lens (beverage lens).
In the beverage presentation glass 1 of the present embodiment, the beverage L (or beverage L2) between the second radio wave transmitting surface 22 and the first radio wave transmitting surface 12 is made of a plano-convex lens. As shown in (b), the area of the beverage lens L2 (in the shape of a plano-convex lens) formed by the beverage L can be placed in front of the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 when viewed from the user U (that is, it can be placed in front of the user U's eyes). ), it is possible to enhance the power and sense of realism of the transparent image 87 (enlarged image of the image 82) seen from the user U.
［電波透過装置の第１の実施の形態］
以下、本発明の電波透過装置の第１の実施の形態を図面を用いて示すが、上記第１の実施の形態の飲料用演出グラス１と同一の構成となる箇所については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
図８（ａ）に示すように、本実施の形態の電波透過装置１００では電波透過トンネル２０と、電波透過トンネル２０をグラス本体１０の内部に固定（又は支持）するための支持棒２８と、コの字形状のコの字フレーム２９とを備える。
支持棒２８の上端と前記コの字フレーム２９が連結しており、支持棒２８の下端と電波透過トンネル２０が連結しており図８（ａ）や図８（ｂ）に示すように上部開口１１の端部をコの字フレーム２９に挿入することで電波透過トンネル２０がグラス本体１０内に固定される。
上部開口１１の端部をコの字フレーム２９に挿入した状態で第１電波透過面１２を通過した携帯型通信装置８０の電波が第２電波透過面２２と第３電波透過面２３を通過した後に第４電波透過面１３を通過して携帯型通信装置８０に至ることを特徴とする。
電波透過装置１００は支持棒２８を備えるためユーザーはグラス本体１０内の飲料Ｌに触れること無しに電波透過トンネル２０をグラス本体１０の内部に配置出来る。
なお、図８（ａ）の例ではコの字フレーム２９及び支持棒２８は板形状にしている。板形状にすることでグラス本体１０と支持棒２８やコの字フレーム２９の摩擦に寄与する接触面積が支持棒２８が棒形状の場合に比して増えるためグラス本体１０と電波透過装置１００の固定強度がその分だけ増す。[First embodiment of radio wave transmission device]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a radio wave transmitting device of the present invention will be shown using drawings, and parts having the same configuration as the drinking glass 1 of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals. The explanation will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 8A, the radio wave transmission device 100 of this embodiment includes a radio wave transmission tunnel 20, a support rod 28 for fixing (or supporting) the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 inside the glass body 10, A U-shaped frame 29 is provided.
The upper end of the support rod 28 is connected to the U-shaped frame 29, the lower end of the support rod 28 is connected to the radio wave transmission tunnel 20, and the upper opening is opened as shown in FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b). The radio wave transmission tunnel 20 is fixed within the glass body 10 by inserting the end portion of the glass body 11 into the U-shaped frame 29.
With the end of the upper opening 11 inserted into the U-shaped frame 29, the radio waves from the portable communication device 80 that passed through the first radio wave transmission surface 12 passed through the second radio wave transmission surface 22 and the third radio wave transmission surface 23. It is characterized in that it later passes through the fourth radio wave transmission surface 13 and reaches the portable communication device 80 .
Since the radio wave transmission device 100 includes the support rod 28, the user can place the radio wave transmission tunnel 20 inside the glass body 10 without touching the beverage L inside the glass body 10.
In the example of FIG. 8(a), the U-shaped frame 29 and the support rod 28 are plate-shaped. By forming the glass body 10 into a plate shape, the contact area that contributes to friction between the glass body 10 and the support rod 28 or the U-shaped frame 29 increases compared to when the support rod 28 is rod-shaped. The fixing strength increases accordingly.
