Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to articles, such as toys, ornaments, and stationery, to which visual amusement has been added, and more specifically, a three-dimensional anamorphic design is added to the surface of a three-dimensional article body. It relates to various amenities.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Various items such as toys, ornaments, and stationery are given their own three-dimensional shapes, and the surface is patterned as necessary to enhance the decorative effect. The example of the design in that case is generally closely related to the article. For example, in the case of an animal toy or an animal figurine, the face, limbs, etc. of the animal are drawn at predetermined positions in order to give an impression similar to the animal. Alternatively, stationery such as erasers and pencil cases often have various patterns applied to the main surface (flat surface).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the case of toys, etc., simply depicting a pattern related to the toy itself lacks surprising or entertaining. Therefore, further measures may be required to increase the product value, but no measures have been proposed yet.

[0004] In the field of plastic arts, a technique called anamorphose is known. This is because a picture that looks distorted when viewed normally, such as a painting, can be drawn so that it looks normal only when viewed from a specific direction, such as a diagonal direction with respect to the page, or it can be drawn vertically. This is a technique that allows the image to appear normal when projected on a cylindrical mirror surface.

However, when this technique called anamorphosis is applied only to the main surface (flat surface) of various articles having a three-dimensional shape, unlike a normal line of sight, it is viewed obliquely or viewed in a mirror. That is, it lacks interest.

An object of the present invention is to apply anamorphosis three-dimensionally to a three-dimensional object such as a toy or a figurine, and to recognize an intended concrete figure only when viewed from a specific direction. The aim is to provide amenity items that can be seen as mere abstract patterns from other directions, add extraordinaryness and entertainment, and increase product value.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is based on a design in which the intended concrete figure can be recognized only when viewed from a specific direction on the surface of the three-dimensional article main body, but only looks like an abstract pattern from other directions. This is an amenity product that uses a three-dimensional anamorphose that is characterized by being provided.

The present invention also provides a concrete figure which has no relation to the article main body only when viewed from the front of the tapered section on the surface of the tapered section of the article body having a concrete three-dimensional shape having a tapered section. Amenity goods using 3D anamorphosis, which is characterized by providing visual entertainment by providing a pattern that can be recognized as a mere abstract pattern from other directions is there.

The amenity articles in the present invention include everyday articles such as toys, ornaments, and stationery. Stuffed animals and balloons with animal three-dimensional shapes, toys like robots, figurines with similar three-dimensional shapes, stationery like erasers and paperweights with similar three-dimensional shapes are suitable, and concrete three-dimensional shapes with tapered portions It is particularly preferable to form a pattern over the entire surface of the tapered portion of the article body.

[0010] For example, a toy or figurine named "Princess Grasshopper" or the like is drawn on an article main body (object) having a three-dimensional shape of an insect locust so that the picture of the lord is visible only when viewed from the front. Or, on a product body (object) that has a three-dimensional shape of a fish, draw a figure so that the picture of the angel can be seen only when viewed from the front, and have fun (funny) such as toys and figurines named "Angelfish" etc. Can be made.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an example of an amenity article using a three-dimensional anamorphose according to the present invention, which is an example of a stuffed dolphin or a figurine of a dolphin (which may be any of wooden, metal, plastic, etc.). is there. Therefore, the article main body 10 has a concrete three-dimensional shape corresponding to a dolphin, and is tapered from the head toward the mouth.

In the present invention, a concrete figure irrelevant to the article main body 10 can be recognized over almost the entire tapered portion only when viewed from the front, but a simple abstract pattern can be recognized from other directions. Provide a design that can only be seen. Here, an owl shape (indicated by reference numeral 12) is drawn. In A of FIG. 1 showing a plane or B of FIG. 1 showing a side surface, it is completely unknown what pattern is drawn. However, only when viewed from the front, only the pattern shown in FIG. Thus, it can be clearly recognized that the pattern is an owl. In order to make such effects remarkable, the surface on which the pattern is drawn should not be a shape close to a plane, but rather be an entire projecting surface such as a cone (such as a cone) or a frustum (such as a truncated cone). preferable. It goes without saying that the parts other than the owl design may be colored according to the dolphin.

FIG. 2 shows another example of an amenity article using the three-dimensional anamorphose according to the present invention, such as a toy or a figurine of an insect grasshopper. Therefore, the article main body 20 has a concrete three-dimensional shape corresponding to a grasshopper, and is tapered from the head to the mouth.

In the present invention, a concrete figure irrelevant to the article main body can be recognized over almost the entire tapered portion only when viewed from the front, but a simple abstract pattern can be recognized from other directions. Provide a design that can only be seen. Here, a figure of the lord (shown by reference numeral 22) is drawn. In A of FIG. 2 showing a plane and B of FIG. 2 showing a side, it is completely unknown what pattern is drawn, but only when viewed from the front, as in C in FIG. It is clearly recognizable as a pattern of the lord.

There are the following methods for drawing a figure on a three-dimensional article body surrounded by an arbitrary curved surface so that the figure looks correct only when viewed from a specific direction. One method is to mathematically express the surface shape and the position of the viewpoint of the three-dimensional object (main body of the article) that draws the figure, and the image to be drawn (original image) placed between the three-dimensional object and the viewpoint using numerical values. In this method, a point (projection point) at which the extension line connecting the points of the original image intersects the surface of the three-dimensional object is calculated theoretically and drawn by a set of projection points.

Another method uses a point light source and a film. A film is a transparent film on which an image serving as an original image is drawn, such that an image can be obtained by transmitting light and projecting it on a screen. By setting the film between the light source and the three-dimensional object (main body of the article) and projecting an image on the three-dimensional object from an intended direction, a figure to be drawn on the surface of the three-dimensional object can be obtained. The figure to be drawn should be formed on the surface of the three-dimensional object by any method, or by applying a photosensitive agent that is sensitive to the light from the light source used on the surface of the three-dimensional object and exposing and fixing it. Can be done.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the present invention applies three-dimensional anamorphosis to three-dimensional objects such as toys and figurines, and can recognize the intended concrete figure only when viewed from a specific direction. It is designed to look like a mere abstract pattern from other directions, thereby giving it a uniqueness and amusement, and increasing its commercial value.
