DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water cave body, and more particularly, to a portable tabletop water cave body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tone generators for enjoying a tone in an atmosphere have been prized. One of them is the so-called Suikin cave, which was conceived in the Edo period. Suikoto cave generates a tone similar to a koto like a character, and since the tone is a clear and distinctive tone, it can calm down and calm people's mind when listened in silence. Therefore, it was used in training places such as tea ceremonies and flower arrangements, and was mainly installed and used in the garden corner beside the tea house.

[0003] In many cases, the suikin cave installed in the garden is buried, and a pot with no bottom in the ground is buried while securing space inside, and the water is collected at the bottom. A drop of water is dropped from the head and a dripping sound is emitted. Since the bottom is usually made of laid soil, stones, sand, etc., water drops dropped from the head accumulate at the bottom, but on the other hand, the accumulated water penetrates into the soil below and escapes Also. Suikin cave emits a good sound when a certain amount of water is collected at the bottom, which is caused by the water that is dripped and supplied to the bottom and the water that permeates into the soil from below and escapes. There needs to be a certain balance. It is extremely difficult to maintain this balance and requires unique techniques.

[0004] In particular, if the amount of water that permeates and escapes becomes more and the balance is lost, the water at the bottom is depleted and the water drops directly fall on the soil, stones, sand, etc. laid on the bottom and the sound is lost at all. There is no. Also, moss and grime tend to reach the pots buried in the ground, and if the moss and grime increase, the tone deteriorates, so it is necessary to clean them at regular intervals. At that time, it is extremely troublesome because the user has to dig up and work. In view of the above, a type of water cave that is not buried in the ground, that is, does not use soil, sand, gravel, etc., that is, a tabletop water cave using two containers, has been developed. For example,
Nos. 24398 and 63-150999.

[0005] These water cave caves include a resonance container having no bottom and a receiving container for receiving the container. Water is dropped from the hole in the head of the resonance container into the receiving container to generate sound. However, since these water cave is only a container with a resonance container placed in the receiving container, the appearance of the tasteless container is directly visible, so there is no further step,
Even when transported, it was directly in contact with Suikoto cave and transported, so it was apt to be stained and scratched.

[0006]

The present invention has been made in view of such a background. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a water cave body that can enjoy both the tone and the decoration, and is hardly stained or damaged.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings by giving specific embodiments. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a water harp cave body showing a first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof.
In the first embodiment, the frame A is in the shape of a square tower and has 12 frame sides 1. A bottom plate 2 is provided at the bottom of the frame A, and serves as an installation portion for installing the water cave C. Usually, there is no ceiling plate at the upper part of the frame A, and only the frame side 1 is provided, and the frame side 1 is a mounting portion for placing the decorative body B (although the ceiling plate is provided and the mounting portion is placed thereon). It is also possible to do.)

In order to carry the body of the water cave C, it is possible to move with the frame side 1 of the frame A, and it is not necessary to directly contact the water cave C. Decorative body B spreads the soil on the container body,
Plants such as flowers and trees are planted, and lanterns and ponds are made to create a garden. In the first embodiment, the pond is one in which the water container B1 is buried in the soil, and is used for storing water for dripping water into the water cave C. From the pond, i.e., the water container B1, the water guide member S is suspended over the water cave C through the passage B2. The water conducting member S moves the water in the water container B1 to the water cave C using capillary action, and a rope, a string, or the like that absorbs water well is used.

Next, the description of the water cave C will be described. Suikin Cave C
A resonance container C1 and a receiving container C2 for receiving the resonance container C1,
It is configured by placing the resonance container C1 face down on the receiving container C2. Hard materials such as ceramics, ceramics, plastics, and metals are used for the material of each container of the Sukintoku.
The resonance container C1 is open without a bottom, and has a slightly depressed portion at the top, and at least one hole 4 is opened in the depressed portion, that is, the depressed bottom 3. A plurality of pointed projections 5 that gradually taper downward are provided on the back of the recess bottom 3 as shown in FIG. Also, a plurality of sound holes 6 are provided in the side wall of the resonance container C1, and the sound holes 6 can be closed and closed by the stopper 6A. Thus, a subtle change can be given to the tone.

FIG. 3 is a view of the top of the resonance vessel C1 as viewed from the inside of the vessel, from which the installation state of the holes 4 and the projections 5 in the recess bottom 3 can be understood. This recess bottom 3
When a large amount of water is supplied, that is, water that falls along the water guide member S, the water is prevented from leaking from the top. In addition, the projections 5 of the depression bottom 3 disperse the water that falls down through the holes 4 of the depression bottom 3 to form a plurality of water droplets. The water guide member S is,
Since the amount of water that conducts varies depending on the number, thickness, and material, it is possible to finely adjust the amount of water that falls into the water cave C by appropriately selecting them.

For example, when the number of the water guide members S is increased, the amount of water supplied to the depression bottom 3 is increased. On the other hand, when the material of the water guide member S is made of a material that easily absorbs water, the same applies. The amount of water increases. Conversely, if the number of the water guide members S is reduced, the amount of water supplied to the depression bottom 3 is reduced. On the other hand, when the material of the water guide members S is made of a material that does not easily absorb water,
Similarly, the amount of water is reduced. If the amount of water is reduced, the water supplied to the depression bottom 3 falls down through the hole 4 and drops down along only one projection 5 as dripping water. Conversely, if the amount of water is increased, the water that has fallen into the depression bottom 3 falls down through the hole 4 and drops down along the plurality of protrusions 5 as dripping water.

In the former case, the tone of the sound is monotonous and delicate because each drop of water is one drop, but in the latter case, the sound is really thrilling due to the plurality of drops of water. In this case, the protrusion 5
If the size of the dripping water is different, the size of the dripping water will also be different, so that the tone of the dripping sound changes and it becomes a dancing sound, which is extremely interesting. On the other hand, a discharge hole 7 is provided at the bottom of the receiving container C2, and a stopper is usually inserted.
When the water is full, the stopcock can be removed and drained from here.

By the way, the tone of the water cave C depends on the space length L in the water cave C. In order to obtain the best tone,
There is a specific optimum space length L depending on the shape and size of the resonance container C1. Now, assuming that the height of the receiving container C2 is M and the depth of the water accumulated in the receiving container C2 is N, L = M−N, and the depth N of the water is the space length L in the Suikoto Cave C. It is specified. Here, focusing on the water level, the receiving container C
After the water starts to accumulate in 2, the water level rises, albeit very slowly, and the space length L changes with it. A change in the space length L means that the timbre is not stable.

FIG. 4 shows a receiving container C2 devised so as to always keep the space length L constant in the sense of stabilizing the timbre. FIG. 4 (a) is a side view, FIG. 4B is a top view. A circular standing wall 8 is further provided in the receiving container C2, and the size of the circular shape is large enough to accommodate the bottom of the resonance container C1. In this case, since the area surrounded by the circular upright wall 8 has a small area, the water level, that is, the water depth becomes the height P of the upright wall 8 after the water droplets fall and the water starts to accumulate in the receiving container C2. Is relatively fast in terms of time. However, after that, water overflows from the upper end of the standing wall 8 and the receiving container C
2 spread throughout.

Since the area of the container is large, the water level other than the portion surrounded by the standing wall 8 gradually increases. In this state, the water depth N is always maintained at the height P of the standing wall 8. Eventually, when the water level reaches the height of the standing wall 8, the portion surrounded by the standing wall 8 and the other portions thereafter have the same water level. After this, the water level, ie the depth of the water, also rises very slowly. When the predetermined height is reached, the plug 7A is removed before the water overflows from the receiving container C2, and the water in the container is drained from the drain hole 7. As described above, in the embodiment of FIG. 4, if the resonance container C1 is set from the beginning in a state where the water is fully stored in the portion surrounded by the upright wall 8 of the receiving container C2, the depth of the water is maintained for a certain period. Since N is constant, the spatial length L is also fixed, and the timbre is stabilized.

By the way, as described above, the optimum spatial length L of the timbre changes depending on the size and shape of the resonance container C1, and when the resonance container C1 is changed,
The space length L also needs to be changed. 5 corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 (a) shows a side view of the receiving container, and FIG. 5 (b) shows a top view. In this embodiment, circular standing walls 8A, 8B and 8C of the embodiment of FIG. 4 are provided in a multiplex manner (in this case, triple), and the height of each standing wall 8 is changed. Since the standing wall 8 other than the necessary standing wall 8 is removed because the standing wall is multiple, the resonance container C1 is removed.
The vertical wall 8 is optimal for the size and shape of the vertical wall. The material of the receiving container C2 is plastic (especially styrene).
When is used, for example, by providing a thin wall portion such as a groove at the base of the standing wall 8 at the time of molding, the standing wall 8 that is not used can be easily removed.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a water cave C according to a second embodiment. A drawer is provided below the installation part of the above-mentioned water cave C, and the frame A is the same as that of the first embodiment. Originally, in the first embodiment, since the upper and lower portions are closed by the placing portion and the setting portion, the sound is easily trapped. However, by providing the drawer portion, the tone of the water cave C is further resonated and increased. be able to. The drawer can also be used to store things, two birds per stone.

The decorative part placed on the placing part on the upper part of the frame A has a double-bottomed container body, and water is stored in the lower bottom B3. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the water accumulated in the lower bottom B3 can be used without the need for providing the pond, that is, the water container B1. The water guiding member S can be used to guide the water to the water cave C below. In this case, the water guide member S is hung from the lower bottom B3 on the water cave C through the passage B2, and the water in the lower bottom B3 is guided to the water cave C.

FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a third embodiment of the present invention. In this case, in the first embodiment, ten mirror surfaces are fitted on one deep surface of the frame A, and the other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description is omitted. By imparting a sense of depth to the body of the water cave C, a similar psychological effect can be given to the tone emitted from it.

FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment, in which first to third embodiments are shown.
This is a type C of Sukinoto cave different from the embodiment. The U-shaped frame A is composed of an upper surface 11, a support portion 12, and a lower surface 13. The upper surface 11 is a mounting portion on which the decorative body B is placed. It is the installation part of. A drawer section is provided below the installation section to obtain a resonance effect, and is also used for storing equipment and the like.

The decorative body B is obtained by storing water in a wide-mouthed vase B4 and decorating a flower plant. The wide-mouthed vase is used as a water source. The water in the wide-mouth vase B4 travels along the water-guiding member S, and
It is led to. Unlike the first to third embodiments, the frame A does not have the frame side 1, so when the water in the receiving container C2 of the water cave C is discarded or the water C is washed, it is easy to take out and extremely convenient. is there. Normally, in order to carry the body of the water cave C in the room, it is possible to move with the support portion 12 of the frame A, and
There is no direct contact with.

Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited only to the embodiments, and it goes without saying that other various modifications are possible without departing from the essence of the present invention. As the decoration body, other things can be adopted as long as they can be used as a water source. The circular standing wall of the receiving container of Suikinkutsu may have a shape other than circular,
Any size is possible as long as it can accommodate the bottom of the resonance container.

[0027]

According to the present invention, it is possible to enjoy both the sound of the Suikoto cave and the aesthetics of the decorative body, and by having the frame, it is possible to carry the Suikoto cave without directly touching it. In addition, when a drawer is provided under the installation portion, in addition to the resonance of the resonance container, it is possible to obtain a double resonance effect with the whole resonance of Suikinkutsu. Also,
When a large number of protrusions for guiding water are provided in the resonance container, it is possible to give a change to the tone dropped down. Further, when a circular standing wall is provided in the receiving container, the tone can be stabilized, and when a plurality of the standing walls are provided, an optimum space length for the resonance container can be selected.
