Description

  In the present invention, a mirror surface that can be normally used as a hand mirror can also function as a display window, for example, a window for displaying various characters, so that these can be easily switched and used and enjoyed. The display toy.

Conventionally, a hand mirror has a circular mirror surface portion with a long handle for use in the hand, and is used as a normal mirror without any change. On the other hand, many optical display devices that apply known principles such as a phantom lamp that enlarges and projects pictures, photographs, charts and the like onto a screen, or a transmissive phantom lamp that projects a slide or the like with transmitted light have been proposed.
nothing special

  However, in the past, a display toy in which a thin and compact mirror surface itself has been variably functioned as a window for displaying pictures and characters by using an optical display device that applies a well-known principle such as a phantom lamp or a transmission phantom lamp. Did not exist.

  Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of various circumstances that existed in the past, and is usually an interesting and light-weight display that can be switched and displayed so that pictures, characters, etc. suddenly appear on the mirror surface itself that is normally used as a mirror. The purpose is to provide a compact and compact display toy.

In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, the mirror body 2 formed with the half mirror (semi-transparent mirror) layer 2A disposed in the window portion R of the housing P, and the mirror body 2 should be disposed opposite to each other. A mask member 3 disposed inside the window portion R and formed with perforations 3A, a light guide plate 4 disposed inside the mask member 3 so as to face the mask member 3, and irregular reflection that diffusely reflects the surface of the light guide plate 4 The display toy 1 comprises means 5 and a light source S that can be turned on and off and arranged at the edge of the light guide plate 4.
The mirror body 2, the mask member 3, the light guide plate 4, and the irregular reflection means 5 can be configured to be symmetrically provided on the front and back sides through a light shielding plate (non-transparent member) 7.
Further, the light guide plate 4 can be processed into a rough reflection means 5 by processing its front or back surface to a rough surface (texture surface). The irregular reflection means 5 can also be formed of Japanese paper disposed inside the light guide plate 4. it can.

In the display toy 1 according to the present invention configured as described above, the light guide plate 4 that emits light by light irradiation from the light source S illuminates the entire surface of the mask member 3 from the back side.
That is, the light of the lit light source S passes through the inside from the edge of the light guide plate 4 and is guided to the entire surface of the light guide plate 4 to uniformly irradiate the entire rear surface of the mask member 3. By transmitting the display contents outward through the half mirror layer 2A of the mirror body 2, the mirror body 2 itself functions as a display window through which the display contents can be viewed.
On the other hand, by turning off the light source S and darkening the light guide plate 4, the entire mirror surface 2 on which the half mirror layer 2A is formed functions as a normal mirror.
Further, since the light guide plate 4 itself can be formed thin, the hand mirror housing P itself is made thin and compact even if the light source S is incorporated.
Then, the irregular reflection means 5 uniformly disperses the light guided from the light source S into the light guide plate 4 toward the mask member 3 side. Further, the irregular reflection means 5 made of Japanese paper diffuses the light dispersed by the light guide plate 4 from the inside of the light guide plate 4 toward the surface side of the light guide plate 4.
In addition, the mirror body 2, the mask member 3, the light guide plate 4, and the irregular reflection means 5 are provided symmetrically on the front and back through the light shielding plate 7 (non-translucent member), thereby improving the usability for using either the front or back side. The display contents of the front and back mask members 3 can be made different.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an interesting thin and compact display toy 1 that can be switched as a mirror or a display device so that a picture or a character suddenly appears on the mirror surface itself used as a mirror.

  That is, this is because the present invention is arranged on the mirror surface 2 formed with the half mirror layer 2A disposed on the window portion R of the housing P, and on the inner side of the window portion R so as to be opposed to the mirror surface 2, and the display contents are perforated 3A. The formed mask member 3, the light guide plate 4 disposed inside the mask member 3 so as to face the mask member 3, irregular reflection means 5 for irregularly reflecting the surface of the light guide plate 4, and the edge of the light guide plate 4 This is because the light source S that can be turned on and off is provided, and by this, the light source S is turned on and the entire surface of the light guide plate 4 is caused to emit light, thereby uniformly illuminating the rear surface of the mask member 3. As a display window through which the display content of the mask member 3 can be viewed through the half mirror layer 2A of the mirror body 2, and by turning off the light source S, the entire surface of the mirror body 2 can function as a normal mirror. it can. In particular, since the light guide plate 4 itself can be configured as thin as possible, the light guide plate 4 can be hardly subjected to restrictions on installation space, can exhibit bright light emission, and can be downsized and easily carried.

  Further, since the mirror body 2, the mask member 3, the light guide plate 4, and the irregular reflection means 5 are provided symmetrically on the front and back sides through the light shielding plate 7, they can be used from either the front or back side, and are easy to use. Not only can it be improved, but the shape of the perforations 3A formed in the mask member 3 can be made different so that it can be enjoyed both front and back.

  Since the light guide plate 4 is processed into a rough reflection means 5 by processing the front or back surface thereof into a rough surface, the light guided from the light source S to the inside of the light guide plate 4 is efficiently and uniformly dispersed toward the entire surface of the mask member 3 side. In addition, attenuation of illuminance on the mask member 3 can be prevented.

  Furthermore, since the irregular reflection means 5 is formed of Japanese paper disposed inside the light guide plate 4, light emitted from the light guide plate 4 can be efficiently diffusely reflected toward the surface side of the light guide plate 4, and the light guide plate 4 itself The luminance can always be maintained, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced because the paper is inexpensive.

  Note that the reference numerals added in the means for solving the above-mentioned problems and the effects of the invention are given for easy reference to the parts showing the respective components described in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the structure and shape indicated by the reference numeral.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is an abbreviation of the front surface of a casing P having a rectangular thin plate shape with a back cover Q on the rear surface side. The display toy is configured by attaching a mirror body 2 in which a half mirror (semi-transparent mirror) layer 2A as a semi-transparent mirror is attached to a window portion R having a rectangular opening. The display toy 1 may be constituted by, for example, a circular hand mirror-shaped casing P having a handle portion below the window R of the casing P, and the outer shape of the display toy 1 itself is The present invention is not limited in any way.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the window R is formed with a holding frame portion having a small width and slightly protruding inward, and a half mirror layer 2A is formed on the end face of the transparent plate. A substantially rectangular thin plate-like mirror body 2 is attached. That is, the mirror body 2 is formed by forming a half mirror layer 2A instead of forming a complete reflection layer on the back surface of a transparent plate as a light transmission layer. At this time, the half mirror layer 2A has a thin metal film or a thin non-metal film that transmits visible light only from the rear side (inner side) to the outer side (front side) due to a difference in refractive index with the transparent plate. It is formed by vapor deposition or pasting.

  For example, a mask member 3 formed by forming perforations 3A in the shape of various characters, display contents such as pictures or characters is formed on the inner side (back side) of the mirror body 2 in the window portion R of the housing P. 2 is arranged to face 2. A light guide plate 4 is disposed inside the mask member 3 so as to face the mask member 3, and a light source S that can be turned on and off is provided at the lower edge of the light guide plate 4. Further, irregular reflection means 5 such as Japanese paper is disposed inside the light guide plate 4 so as to face the light guide plate 4.

  The light guide plate 4 is formed of, for example, an acrylic thin plate material, and the back surface or front surface thereof is processed into a rough surface (texture surface) by, for example, photoetching processing, sandblasting processing, or the like. In addition, an insertion concave portion 8 is formed at the lower edge portion of the light guide plate 4 and is cut out into a substantially U shape for inserting and holding, for example, a spherical light emitting portion of the light source S. The entire surface of the light guide plate 4 emits light with uniform light intensity (luminance) by turning on the light source S in the insertion recess 8.

  The irregular reflection means 5 can be either one of roughening the light guide plate 4 itself or arranging Japanese paper or the like on the back surface inside the light guide plate 4. In addition, a thin plate member such as a non-translucent film or sheet having a rough writing surface can be provided in place of the Japanese paper, and the diffused light of irregular reflection is made so-called soft by using only Japanese paper. be able to. Furthermore, Japanese paper is arranged on the back side of the light guide plate 4 and the surface of the light guide plate 4 is processed into a rough surface so that the light guide plate 4 itself is irregularly reflected on the entire surface to make it more fantastic. You can also

  The light source S uniformly illuminates the entire surface of the mask member 3 inside the housing P from the back side so that the display content of the mask member 3 can be seen from the outside through the half mirror layer 2A. For example, a light emitting diode or the like that can be turned on by applying or cutting off a voltage from the power source V by turning on / off a power switch SW such as a push button type disposed on the lower side is used.

  A frame-shaped battery storage box 6 in which a circular through-hole for fitting, for example, a button-type battery, which is a power source V, is disposed below the light guide plate 4 inside the housing P. For example, a pair of electrode lead terminals SA and SB of a light-emitting diode having different lengths, which are S, straddle the side surface of the battery storage box 6 and then face the through hole side, and the shorter electrode lead terminal SA is a button The longer electrode lead terminal SB is placed in contact with the other electrode of the button-type battery in contact with one electrode of the battery. For example, a push button type power switch SW for pushing the longer electrode lead terminal SB into the inside of the through hole of the battery storage box 6 is disposed. By pressing the power switch SW, the longer electrode lead terminal SB is The light source S enters a conductive input state by being pressed and in contact with the other electrode of the button-type battery.

  5 and 6 show another example of the display device according to the present invention. That is, the mirror body 2, the mask member 3, the light guide plate 4, and the irregular reflection means 5 in the above-described configuration are arranged symmetrically on the front and back through the light-shielding plate 7 made of a non-translucent member, and are configured as a pair symmetrical in the front-rear direction. It is assumed that each of the interiors of the housings P is installed.

  At this time, each of the light shielding plate 7 and the pair of front and rear irregular reflection means 5 is formed with an insertion recess 8 that is cut out in a substantially U shape for inserting the light emitting portion of the light source S, and further, each of the front and rear light guide plates 4. A recess 9 that matches the shape of the front and rear halves of the light emitting portion is provided at a portion of the lower edge that faces each other. In this way, when the pair of light guide plates 4 and the pair of irregularly reflecting means 5 are assembled through the light shielding plate 7, an insertion hole portion is formed in which the light emitting portion of the single light source S can be stored exactly. It is like that.

  Thus, when the light guide plate 4 can emit light in a uniform surface light source state by turning on the light source S and the entire rear surface of the mask member 3 is irradiated with light, a picture or characters of the mask member 3 through the half mirror layer 2A of the mirror body 2 The display contents can be viewed as a display window. That is, this uses a well-known principle such as a phantom lamp that enlarges and projects pictures, photographs, charts, etc. on a screen, or a transmissive phantom lamp that projects a slide or the like with transmitted light. On the other hand, by turning off the light guide plate 4 by turning off the light source S and darkening the entire surface of the mask member 3, the entire mirror body 2 on which the half mirror layer 2A is formed functions as an original mirror.

  Next, an example of use and operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the mirror body 2 of the display toy 1 is used as an original mirror, the power switch SW is turned off. The entire surface of the light guide plate 4 is extinguished by the light source S to be extinguished, and the surface of the mask member 3 becomes dark, so that the entire surface of the half mirror layer 2A functions as a mirror.

  On the other hand, when the power switch SW is turned on, the light source S is turned on, the light guide plate 4 emits light in the uniform surface light source S state, and the entire surface of the mask member 3 is illuminated from the rear side, thereby perforating the mask member 3. The display contents such as character figures, pictures or characters by 3A appear on the mirror body 2 as they are through the half mirror layer 2A.
