Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to beads mainly for decorative purposes and bead products made using the beads.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Bead products as bracelets, necklaces, rings, or decorative strings are well known and consist of a number of beads made of precious metals, jewelry, artificial jewelry, minerals, plants, glass, synthetic resin, etc., arranged in a row by strings. It gives a variety of aesthetic sensations depending on the material and shape of the beads.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, conventional bead products can change the appearance by reflecting light depending on the material of the beads, but many of them always have the same appearance and texture. For this reason, the appearance and texture of each bead product are constant, so the same impression is given and there is no change. In addition, since it is not visible in a dark place, it is often troublesome to misplace or search for it.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve these problems of the conventional bead product, and can be visually recognized in a dark place, and has a different impression between a bright place and a dark place. The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to easily find the location in a dark place.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A first means according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is that the beads are formed by applying a fluorescent paint to a string passing hole of a light-transmitting bead body. Further, the second means is a method of arranging a large number of beads obtained by applying a fluorescent paint to the through-holes of a light-transmitting bead body and arranging the bead products in a row by a string inserted through the through-holes. And

[0006] The fluorescent paint is applied to the through-hole without being mixed into the beads or applied to the surface, so that the original transparency and clarity of the material of the beads are not lost, and the fluorescent paint is used in a bright place. Not only does it not impair the appearance and texture of the product, but there is no fear of peeling during use. The light emitted by the fluorescent paint is refracted or diffusely reflected inside the bead body and radiated from the surface in multiple directions, so that the entire bead body appears to shine in a dark place.

[0007] For this reason, a different impression is given between a bright place and a dark place, and the place becomes rich in change, and the location can be easily known in a dark place.

[0008] Here, as the beads in the first means, if the beads are colored and the fluorescent paint emits light of the same color or a different color, it dislikes the appearance of different colors depending on the brightness. It is suitable in each case or when preferred.

[0009] Further, the third means according to the present invention includes a bead obtained by applying a fluorescent paint to a string passing hole of a light-transmitting bead body and a bead having no fluorescent paint applied to the string passing hole. Are arranged in a line by a string inserted through the string through hole.

[0010] In this case, the beads to which the fluorescent paint has not been applied cannot be seen in a dark place, so that various kinds of beads can be given an array of two kinds of beads.

[0011] In addition, the beads formed by applying a fluorescent paint to the string through holes in the second and third means include a bead body that is colorless and transparent, and a bead body that is colored and the fluorescent paint has the same color. Use at least one of those that emit light or those whose bead body is colored and the fluorescent paint emits light of a different color, or apply fluorescent paint to the string through hole in the third step It is preferable to use at least one kind of beads that are colorless and transparent, colored and translucent, and opaque as beads that are not used.

In the present invention, the term “fluorescence” is used synonymously with photoluminescence, and includes all those which emit light by stimulating light, which are generally called luminous paints, luminous paints, and the like.

[0013]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a bead according to the present invention, in which a stringless hole 2 is provided through the center of a colorless and transparent spherical bead body 1 made of glass or acrylic resin. Fluorescent paint 3 is applied to almost the entire wall of the through hole 2 to form a coating film having an appropriate thickness.

The bead body 1 is not limited to a colorless and transparent one, but may be colored in an arbitrary color and have translucency. These may be selected from commercially available products having a desired shape and size. It can be easily selected and obtained. The fluorescent paint 3 can emit light of any color when the bead 1 is colorless and transparent, and emits light of the same color when the bead 1 is colored. Alternatively, a material emitting light of a different color can be selected and used according to preference. In the case of a material emitting light of a different color, light of a color synthesized with the color of the bead body 1 is emitted.

Such a fluorescent paint 3 can also be easily obtained by selecting a desired one from commercially available products, and can be easily attached to a brush or a thin stick and inserted into the string through hole 2. Can be applied. The light emitted by the fluorescent paint 3 is refracted and irregularly reflected inside the bead body 1, and when it reaches the surface, it is refracted more variously depending on its shape and radiated to the outside, so that it looks as if the whole is shining brightly.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the bead product according to the present invention, in which a bead A1 composed of a colorless and transparent bead and a fluorescent paint emitting light of an arbitrary color, a colored translucent bead and a bead A1. Beads A2 made of fluorescent paint that emits light of the same color, beads A3 made of colored translucent beads and fluorescent paint that emits light of a different color, and in addition to these, a fluorescent paint applied to the string through hole The beads B1, the beads of which are colorless and transparent, the beads B2 of which the beads are transparent and the beads B3 of which the beads are opaque, can be arbitrarily formed by the strings S inserted through the holes. They are arranged in a line in order.

Both ends of the string S are inserted into and fastened to the fastener K from one end, and a row of beads A1... B3 forms a loop, and the attachment string M is connected to the other end of the fastener K from the other end. It is extended.

The bead product according to the present embodiment can be attached to a key holder, a mobile phone, or the like using the attachment string M. Therefore, the bead product according to the present embodiment is suitable as an accessory for a small portable item that can be stored in a pocket or a bag. In addition, when the key holder or the mobile phone to which such a bead product is attached is placed on a table or the like in a dark place, or when it is taken out of a bag or the like in a dark place, the location of the bead product can be known very easily.

In this embodiment, three types of beads A1, A2, and A3 that emit light and three types of beads B1, B2, and B3 that do not emit light are used. However, three types of beads that emit light are used. Bead A1, A2, A3, or at least one of three types of beads B1, B2, B3 that do not emit light. It is possible to give various appearances and textures depending on the selection and arrangement order. Beads B1, B2, and B3 that do not emit light can also be obtained by selecting a desired material, shape, and size from commercially available products.

When a bead product is used as a bracelet or a necklace, it goes without saying that components suitable for the intended use can be attached to the string S, such as attaching connecting metal fittings to both ends of the string S. Further, it is possible to produce a bead product exactly the same as a conventional handicraft, for example, by binding some of the beads A1 to B3 in a petal shape to make a ring accessory.
