2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an optical fiber has been used as an optical material family as a transmission path of light energy, or as a transmission cable utilizing the propagation of a light signal. Are known. On the other hand, it is known that such light is propagated and the property that only the end of the fiber shines is used, and it is also used for a product aimed at a color rendering effect of light, which is not an intended purpose.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 1, as an interior decoration, when the ends of optical fibers A are bundled and light is applied to the ends of the bundled fibers, the unbundled fiber of the unbundled side is expanded. The terminal E shines as a point of light, aiming at the effect of blooming light, or as shown in FIG. When the terminal of the optical fiber A containing the base end is buried in the box G with the built-in and illuminated, it is known that the light spot of the night view photograph B shines like illumination. I have.

[0004] In the production for producing the light effect by such an optical fiber, taking a night view photograph as an example, a fine hole is formed at a point where the plate material expressing the night view photograph is desired to shine.
To this end, through a fine optical fiber, the end cross section is made to protrude from the plate material surface, so that the color rendering effect by the light of the cut end of the optical fiber is obtained, but such a high color rendering effect is obtained, It is known that fabrication is not easy.

[0005] Therefore, if this color rendering effect is used, the range of use and the degree of freedom of expression are limited due to difficulty in production, although various expressions and industrial use are conceivable. Are known.

[0006] The back of the plate material expressing the color rendering effect is:
Since the optical fibers passed through are complicated, they need to be obscured.For this reason, opaque materials are used for the front panel material, and the back is covered with a box shape. It is known to narrow.

[0007] When using an optical fiber aiming at a color rendering effect of light as described in the prior art, this manufacturing method is accompanied by difficulty, so that it does not meet the demand of those who want to use it if it can be manufactured more easily. Had problems. Or, if you need a box for a cover on the back or an opaque material for the front plate, you want to use this in various industries, or want to express color rendering effects more freely Did not respond to the demands of those who think it was.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms a partial cross section by scratching an optical fiber in a point or line, or removing a light-shielding film, and light is emitted in the partial cross section. An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber decoration device in which a light emitting portion can be easily set by leaking.

In the invention of claim 2, a technical measure is taken in which the optical fiber is sandwiched between a transparent substrate serving as a base and a plate or face material facing the transparent substrate, and is integrally attached to both. I have. According to the invention of claim 3, the optical fiber of the transparent substrate is used.
Technical measures are taken that the decorative surface is formed on the surface that is not attached .

[0010]

By forming a partial cross section at an arbitrary position of the optical fiber and emitting light by light leaking from the partial cross section,
Conventionally, the light emitting portion of the optical fiber, which has been performed only on the end face, can be freely formed.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the optical fiber decoration device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Decorative device of the optical fiber, as in FIG. 3, is formed on one
Based on a plastic plate D that is a transparent substrate
A large number of optical fibers A are attached at equal intervals over the entire back surface of the transparent substrate . Although not shown in the figure, the base end of each optical fiber is arranged near the light source as shown in FIG. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited as long as a plurality of optical fibers A can be attached. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3. At this time, the optical fiber A
Are bundled with the size of the plate surface or as shown in FIG. Further, the plurality of optical fibers A may be attached at appropriate intervals as shown in FIG. 3, or may be attached densely without any intervals.

In this decoration device, in addition to the method of using the substrate D as it is, as shown in FIG.
A transparent or opaque plate material or face material K may be further attached so as to cover the surface side on which the optical fiber A is attached. Thus, the optical fiber A can be held between the substrate D and the plate material (or face material) K from both sides.

[0013] The manufacturing procedure will be described with reference to FIG. 7 as an example.
An inverted version of an original such as a photograph on which the point to be illuminated is drawn. J is placed underneath, and a transparent substrate D with an optical fiber is placed on top of it. Point, or damage the upper surface of the wire to such an extent that it will not be cut with a cutter or a router, or remove the light-shielding film covering the optical fiber
Is formed.

With the transparent substrate D thus processed, the side where the optical fiber A is not stuck is on the front side, the side where the optical fiber A is stuck is on the back side, and the original is placed on the rear side. The end portion of the optical fiber A on the transparent substrate D thus obtained is connected to the light source C.
When light is incident in the vicinity, the light travels on the inner surface of the fiber due to the characteristic effect of the optical fiber A, but the light leaks from the cut partial cross section or the damaged partial cross section, and a light spot E is obtained.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a decorative device using the transparent substrate D to which the optical fiber A is attached. Compared with the example of the prior art shown in FIG. 2, a box on the back is unnecessary. FIG. 8 is an example of a guidance display panel using the transparent substrate. In this case, a transparent plastic plate without a box etc. on the back not only increases the degree of freedom of design, but also increases the clear visual effect required for the guidance display board by the color rendering effect by flickering or increasing or decreasing the incident light. .

Alternatively, FIG. 9 is used as a transparent partition glass plate in a room, and it is possible to express a decorative effect such as a blink of light in a space. In FIGS. 8 and 9, G is a box that covers the light source. In addition, various changes can be obtained in the light effect expression by devising the plate material into a tubular shape or making the optical fiber into a spiral shape when the plate material is made into a tubular shape.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] The production of a product (decorative device) aiming at the color rendering effect of light has conventionally had various restrictions. However, with the decorative device of the present invention, a light point is easily created and, at the same time, a transparent substrate is formed. Since there is no bundled optical fiber on the back surface of the device, there is no need to cover them, and a transparent substrate can be used. In addition, the degree of freedom in arranging the light points is increased, and the range of use and the possibility of expression can be expanded.
