[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the transparent decorative case of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of an example of the transparent decorative case of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 2, and FIG. The annular outer frame 1 is made of synthetic resin or metal and has a short annular tubular shape with a circular cross section, and has an annular projecting edge 2 projecting inward at the edge of the front surface on one side. It is desirable that the outer surface of the annular outer frame 1 is appropriately plated so as to have an appropriate appearance as a decoration. The annular outer frame 1 may have an elliptical shape other than the circular shape shown in FIG. 1, or may have a polygonal shape such as a hexagonal shape or an octagonal shape.

A transparent plate 3 made of glass or synthetic resin is fitted in contact with the annular protruding edge 2 on the inner side of the annular outer frame 1. One or more annular spacers 4 are fitted behind the transparent plate 3. The annular spacer 4 preferably has an outer shape that is inscribed in the annular outer frame 1, and has a radial width d that is substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the annular protruding edge 2. The thickness w of the annular spacer 4 is appropriately selected to be about 1 to 5 mm depending on the size of the transparent decorative case and the width D of the annular outer frame 1, and an appropriate number of annular spacers 4 should be selected and fitted. Thus, the thickness W of the space 5 inside the transparent decorative case can be appropriately adjusted to the required thickness.

Behind the annular spacer 4, a back plate 6 having the same outer shape as the inner peripheral shape of the annular outer frame 1 is fitted. The back plate 6 is made of synthetic resin, metal or any other material. When a transparent plate made of glass or synthetic resin is used as the annular spacer 4, both sides of the transparent decorative case are made of transparent plates so that the inside can be observed from both sides and illumination can be applied from the back side. As the back plate 6, it is possible to use a mirror plate whose reflective surface faces the inside of the transparent decorative case. When a mirror plate is used as the back plate 6, the depth increases when the inside of the transparent decoration case is observed from the front side, and the back side of the exhibits inside can also be observed, so that the exhibits are observed lively. The mirror surface plate may be a normal mirror surface plate in which the back surface of glass or transparent synthetic resin is plated with silver, or a mirror surface plate in which metal such as aluminum is deposited on the surface of the synthetic resin plate.

An annular pressing ring 7 is fitted behind the back plate 6 and the pressing ring 7 is fixed to the inner surface of the annular outer frame 1 by an appropriate fixing means. As the fixing means of the pressing ring 7, any known fixing means may be selected and fixed by an adhesive, a female screw provided on the inner periphery of the annular outer frame 1 and a male screw provided on the outer periphery of the pressing ring 7 may be screwed together. Can be used.

As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2 and the enlarged sectional view of FIG. 4, an annular groove 8 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the annular outer frame 1, and the holding ring 7 is made of synthetic resin or the like having a slight elasticity. By forming an annular projection 9 tightly fitted to the annular groove 8 on the outer periphery of the pressing ring 7, and fitting the annular projection 9 into the annular groove 8, the pressing ring 7 can be fixed. When the annular projection 9 of the pressing ring 7 is fitted into the annular groove 8 of the annular outer frame 1, the pressing ring 7 is pressed, and the elasticity thereof is used to slightly reduce the diameter of the pressing ring 7 so that the pressing ring 7 is pressed. The pressing ring 7 can be fixed very easily by simply pushing the ring into the ring-shaped outer frame 1, and once the exhibit is placed inside the transparent decorative case and the pressing ring 7 is fitted once, the transparent decorative case is assembled. The holding ring 7 can be easily held and the exhibit can be held stably.

As shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, a holding ring 7 having an L-shaped cross section is fitted on the outer periphery of the annular outer frame 1, and an annular groove 8 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the annular outer frame 1 to hold it. A method in which an annular projection 9 is provided on the inner peripheral surface 11 of the ring 7 that contacts the annular outer frame 1 and these annular groove 8 and the annular projection 9 are tightly fitted, or conversely, an annular projection is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the annular outer frame 1. 9 is provided, and an annular groove 8 is provided on the inner peripheral surface 11 of the above-mentioned L-shaped pressing ring 7 so as to be fitted tightly to each other, and further, a male screw provided on the outer peripheral surface of the annular outer frame 1; Any fixing means of the pressing ring 7 can be applied, such as a method of screwing the female threads provided on the inner peripheral surface 11 of the pressing ring 7 having the L-shaped cross section with each other.

The annular groove 8 and the annular projection 9 do not have to be continuously provided in an annular shape over the entire circumference, and the annular groove 8 and the annular projection 9 may be partially cut off. The groove may be provided along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface, and the streak projection may be provided along the circumferential direction on the outer circumference of the holding ring so as to fit tightly with the groove. In particular, when the annular outer frame 1 and the pressing ring 7 are formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin or the like, the annular groove 8 and the annular protrusion 9 are mutually inserted in order to facilitate the demolding of the molded product from the mold. It is desirable to lack a part at one or two corresponding locations.

In the method of fixing the annular outer frame 1 and the pressing ring 7 by the annular groove 8 and the annular projection 9, since the position of the annular groove 8 is fixed, a part of the certain number of annular spacers 4 is transparent plate. It is necessary to fit the remaining annular spacers 4 between the back plate 6 and the pressing ring 7 by using only the number necessary to adjust the thickness of the space 5 between the back plate 6 and the back plate 6 to an appropriate thickness W. The plurality of annular spacers 4 do not necessarily have to have the same thickness w, and annular spacers 4 having different thicknesses can be combined and their arrangement can be changed. The thickness W of the space 5 can be arbitrarily adjusted by changing the arrangement and order of the plurality of annular spacers 4 and the back plate 6.

When a partition plate made of thin metal, synthetic resin or the like is sandwiched between a plurality of annular spacers 4 to divide the space 5 into two front and back sides, and a transparent plate is used as the back plate 6, the front side and the back side are different from each other. It can hold exhibits and can be used as different decorations on the front and back.

Appropriate suspending means are provided on the upper part of the annular outer frame 1, or suitable upright means are provided on the lower part. A known suspending means is used as the suspending means, and a suspending ring, a chain, a suspending string or the like is fixed. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a hanging projection 10 having a through hole may be provided. As a standing means, a leg portion capable of stably standing a transparent decorative case on a horizontal plane can be provided at the bottom. Also, two transparent decorative cases according to the present invention may be arranged side by side and joined to each other by a hinge or the like, and the two transparent decorative cases may be bent to stand up or folded so as to form an angle with each other. .
