  According to the plant ornamental set of the present invention, the light emitting member can emit any of red, green, blue, purple, light blue, yellow, and white by emitting red light emitting diode, green light emitting diode, and blue light emitting diode in a single color or in combination. Colors are formed, and the colored light is transmitted through the transparent container and reflected on the surface of the transparent hydroponics jelly so that the transparent container shines brightly. Compared to the case, the decorative effect can be enhanced.

In addition, the plant ornamental set of the present invention is such that light emitted individually from the red light emitting diode, green light emitting diode, and blue light emitting diode is mixed well when passing through the diffusion lens, so that the light emitting member irradiates the transparent container. The color of the light to be played can be made vivid.
In addition, according to the plant ornamental set of the present invention, the light emitting state of the red light emitting diode, the green light emitting diode, and the blue light emitting diode is switched by the control circuit, and the color of the light emitted from the light emitting member to the transparent container is switched. You can change the color inside. Note that the color of light emitted from the light emitting member may be switched sequentially or randomly. Further, the light emitting state of each light emitting diode may be switched continuously so that the color in the transparent container changes in a gradation manner, or each light emitting diode is caused to emit light intermittently to change the color in the transparent container. It may be.
In addition, according to the plant ornamental set of the present invention, since the light emitting member is made to emit light using a light emitting diode with low power consumption, the light emitting member emits light for a long time only with the battery built in the coaster without providing an outlet or the like. Can be made.

In addition, according to the plant ornamental set of the present invention, ceramics placed in a transparent container together with jelly generates negative ions in the transparent container to purify the transparent container, thereby eliminating turbidity in the transparent container and The permeability can be improved and the growth of the plant can be activated.
Moreover, according to the plant appreciation set of the present invention, the coaster, the dried jelly powder obtained by drying the jelly, and the transparent container are transported in one packing material, so the plant appreciation set is transported in the transaction distribution process. Can be reduced.

One embodiment of the plant ornamental set of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of the plant appreciation set 1 and shows a state where the light emitting member 10 emits light. FIG. 2 is a front view of the plant appreciation set 1 and shows a state where the light emitting member 10 does not emit light.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plant appreciation set 1 includes water 3, hydroponics jelly (hereinafter simply referred to as “jelly”) 4, and ceramics 5 in a transparent container 2, and plants 6 in the jelly 4. The roots of the are inserted. The transparent container 2 of the plant appreciation set 1 is placed on a coaster 7 and irradiated with light from the lower surface by a light emitting member 10 described later provided on the coaster 7.

  The transparent container 2 may be a transparent container that can transmit light, and may be colorless and transparent or colored and transparent. The transparent container 2 may be made of any material such as plastic or glass as long as it has transparency. In the present embodiment, a fish bowl-shaped glass container that is colorless and transparent and has an opening formed in a corrugated shape is used as the transparent container 2.

  The jelly 4 is obtained by expanding a commercially available dried jelly grain into a predetermined amount of water. The jelly 4 may have any shape such as a round shape, an oval shape, a cube shape, and a split ice shape as long as it can reflect light. The jelly 4 of the present embodiment has a split ice shape and has an uneven surface in view of manufacturing cost and light reflectivity. The shape and size of the jelly 4 may be the same or different, but in this embodiment, the shape and size of the jelly 4 are individually different. The jelly 4 may be colorless and transparent or colored and transparent as long as it has transparency. Further, the jelly 4 may be used by mixing colorless or multiple-colored jelly. In this embodiment, a transparent pink jelly is used.

  Since the specific gravity of the jelly 4 is lighter than that of the water 3, when the jelly 4 is put in the transparent container 2, the jelly 4 gathers on the surface of the water. Therefore, the transparent container 2 is separated into a transparent layer of transparent water 3 and a jelly layer of jelly 4 filled with ice, and an uneven surface is formed between the transparent layer and the jelly layer. The Moreover, as for the transparent container 2, a part of jelly 4 is floating in the water 3 like a bubble. The water 3 may be preliminarily placed in the transparent container 2 or may be a part of the jelly 4 that has been compressed and melted.

  Ceramics 5 is a negative ion that is obtained by putting viscosity grains in a kiln and baking them at a high temperature (for example, 1600 degrees), or by putting a lump of viscosity in a kiln and baking them at high temperatures to break them finely. It is the one that is applied and baked with a glaze that generates odor. The ceramic 5 is mixed in advance with the jelly 4 swelled with water and then placed in the transparent container 2. Since the ceramic 5 has a small granular shape, the ceramic 5 enters between the jelly 4 and is dispersed in the transparent container 2. Further, the ceramic 5 is colored to enhance the decoration effect.

  The plant 6 stands in the vertical direction supported by the jelly 4 around the stem. The type of the plant 6 is not limited as long as it is suitable for hydroponics. In the present embodiment, bamboo is used as the plant 6.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the coaster 7.
As shown in FIG. 3, the coaster 7 includes a plastic housing 8. In the coaster 7, three light emitting members 10 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the mounting surface 9 of the housing 8, and the light emitting members 10 emit light by being switched simultaneously or sequentially.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the coaster 7.
The coaster 7 has a main body 11 and a cover 12 connected by four bolts 13.

FIG. 5 is a view showing the internal structure of the coaster 7.
A substrate 15 is screwed to the main body 11 of the coaster 7. The substrate 15 has three light emitting members 10 arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The light emitting member 10 has a small rectangular parallelepiped shape of several millimeters square, and a green light emitting diode 10a, a red light emitting diode 10b, and a blue light emitting diode 10c are arranged side by side. The green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c are small ones having a size of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and are arranged close to each other at a small pitch. The light emitting member 10 is wired so that the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c can emit light individually. Therefore, the light emitting member 10 can emit light in seven colors by using light emitted from the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c in a single color or in combination.

  That is, the light emitting member 10 emits green, red, and blue by emitting the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10b, respectively. In addition, the red light emitting diode 10b and the blue light emitting diode 10c are simultaneously formed. When it emits light, it turns purple, when the green light emitting diode 10a and the blue light emitting diode 10c emit light simultaneously, it turns light blue, when the green light emitting diode 10a and the red light emitting diode 10b emits light simultaneously, it turns yellow, and green The light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c emit light at the same time, thereby producing a white color.

  The coaster 7 includes batteries 17 and 17, and supplies the power of the batteries 17 and 17 to the substrate 15 to cause the light emitting diodes 10 a, 10 b, and 10 c to emit light. The batteries 17 and 17 can be exchanged by removing the cover 12 from the main body 11 and attaching / detaching it in the oblique direction in the figure. The substrate 15 has a control circuit 16 that sequentially switches the light emission states of the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c at regular time intervals by a timer (not shown). A switch 18 provided on the side surface of the main body 11 is connected to the substrate 15 via a wiring 19 so that the on state of the light emitting member 10 is switched between the off state.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the coaster 7, when the cover 12 is placed on the main body 11 so as to cover the substrate 15, the diffusion lens 14 is disposed at a position corresponding to the light emitting member 10. The diffusion lens 14 is a plastic lens, and is configured to refract and mix the light received from the light emitting member 10 in the lens, and further spread the mixed light and pass it to the side opposite to the light emitting member 10.

Next, handling of the plant appreciation set 1 will be described.
The plant appreciation set 1 is sold, for example, at a department store or mail order. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plant ornamental set 1 is sold in a state where water 3, jelly 4, ceramic 5 and plant 6 are put in a transparent container 2 and placed on a coaster 7, and the assembly is completed. It is transported by purchasers and transportation company workers. However, the transparent container 2 is a glass container with an opening having a corrugated shape, and when the plant ornamental set 1 is conveyed, something may hit the opening of the transparent container 2 and damage the transparent container 2. Further, if the plant appreciation set 1 is defeated during transportation, the water 3 and the jelly 4 may spill out of the transparent container 2. Such inconvenience is particularly likely to occur when a plant worker who does not fully grasp the state of the plant ornamental set 1 is bought and sold by mail order sales and delivers the plant ornamental set 1 to the purchase destination. Conceivable.

  Therefore, the plant appreciation set 1 puts an empty transparent container 2 in a buffer material, and transports the jelly 4 together with the dried jelly powder and the coaster 7 in one packing material, and transports the set 1 at the transport destination. You may make it assemble. That is, the purchaser who has received the assembly kit of the plant appreciation set 1 adds a predetermined amount of water to the dried jelly powder contained in the packing material to inflate it, and puts the favorite plant 6 into the transparent container 2 taken out from the cushioning material. Alternatively, the jelly 4 inflated with water may be put into the transparent container 2 from around the plant 6 so that the plant 6 can be decorated, and the transparent container 2 may be placed on the coaster 7. In this case, the plant 6 or the ceramic 5 may be packed together in the packing material, or the purchaser of the set 1 may purchase the desired plant 6 and the ceramic 5 separately and put them arbitrarily in the transparent container 2. Good.

  The plant appreciation set 1 is used, for example, by being placed on a table installed in a restaurant room. The plant appreciation set 1 is a figure until the switch 18 of the coaster 7 is switched from the off state to the on state after the transparent container 2 is placed on the placement surface 9 of the coaster 7 placed on the table to decorate the plant 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting member 10 does not emit light, and the plant 6 is decorated in the same manner as in the prior art.

  On the other hand, for example, when the switch 18 of the coaster 7 is switched from the off state to the on state when the room where the table is placed becomes dark, the light emitting member 10 irradiates the transparent container 2 with light as shown in FIG. To do. The light emitted from the light emitting member 10 passes through the diffusion lens 14 and further passes through the transparent container 2 and the water 3 to reach the jelly 4. The jelly 4 has a transparent pink color. Further, the jelly 4 has a grainy surface, and when it is placed in the transparent container 2, it terminates on the water surface and forms a rough boundary surface with the water 3. Further, the jelly 4 floats in the water 3 due to the specific gravity. Therefore, when the light of the light emitting member 10 is dispersed in the water 3 as shown in the P part described by dots in FIG. 1, the jelly 4 that floats in the water 3 and the jelly 4 at the boundary surface between the water layer and the jelly layer. In addition to being reflected by the light 4, the light passes through the transparent jelly 4 from the lower side to the upper side, and is also reflected by the jelly 4 stacked on the opening side of the transparent container 2 from the boundary surface. As a result, in the plant appreciation set 1, the light of the light emitting member 10 spreads over almost the entire transparent container 2, is scattered and reflected at different positions in the height direction, the width direction, and the depth direction of the transparent container 2. It shines in the container 2 like stardust. In particular, since the surroundings of the plant appreciation set 1 are dim, the light in the transparent container 2 is more prominent and the beauty is increased.

  Further, since the jelly 4 is pink and transparent, if the transparent container 2 is irradiated with red light of the same color from the light emitting member 10, the red light shines more vividly in the transparent container 2, while the light emitting member If the transparent container 2 is irradiated with light of a color other than red from 10, the contrast between the color of the jelly 4 and the color of the light can be enjoyed.

  Here, for example, when green, red, and blue light emitting diodes are large, the light emitting diodes cannot be disposed close to each other. In this case, for example, even when green, red, and blue light emitting diodes are caused to emit light at the same time, light of all colors is not mixed. When such a light emitting diode is applied to the coaster 7, the coaster 7 irradiates the transparent container 2 with green, red, and blue light instead of white light, so that the transparent container 2 can be illuminated with a sense of unity. Can not.

  In this respect, since the light emitting member 10 of the present embodiment has the small green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c arranged close to each other, the light emitting diodes 10a, 10b, and 10c are combined to emit light. When mixing, light is sufficiently mixed. In addition, the light of the light emitting member 10 is further mixed when passing through the diffusing lens 14 and is applied to the transparent container 2. Therefore, the light of the light emitting member 10 is irradiated to the transparent container 2 with a single vivid color.

  The light emitting member 10 can automatically switch the light emitting states of the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c at regular time intervals, and can be changed to red, green, blue, purple, yellow, light blue, and white. Light is emitted sequentially. Therefore, in the transparent container 2, the color of the light reflected and reflected from the jelly 4 is sequentially switched as the color of the light emitted from the light emitting member 10 changes. In this case, the color of the light may be continuously displaced to change in gradation, or may be displaced intermittently. Here, the light emitting member 10 sequentially changes the color, but the color may be changed at random. Furthermore, the light emission time may be changed for each color.

  In the above description, the light emitting member 10 is caused to emit light and the transparent container 2 is illuminated in a dimly lit room. However, since the light emitting diodes 10a, 10b, and 10c themselves emit strong light, a bright room with a fluorescent lamp is used. Even if it is etc., the light emitting member 10 can be light-emitted and the inside of the transparent container 2 can be made to shine beautifully.

  By the way, it is desirable for the coaster 7 to prevent condensation on the surface of the transparent container 2 because the substrate 15 in the housing 8 dislikes water droplets. The jelly 4 has a smaller temperature change width associated with a change in the outside air temperature than the water 3. In the plant ornamental set 1, the jelly 4 is placed in the transparent container 2 so that the surface of the transparent container 2 is less likely to form condensation than when only the water 3 is placed in the transparent container 2, and water enters the substrate 15 of the coaster 7. Thus, it is possible to prevent problems that cause short circuits.

  Therefore, according to the plant ornamental set 1 of the present embodiment, the light emitting member 10 emits red, green, blue, and purple by emitting the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c in a single color or in combination. , Light blue, yellow, or white, and the colored light is transmitted through the transparent container 2 and reflected on the surface of the transparent jelly 4, so that the inside of the transparent container 2 shines brightly. The decoration effect can be enhanced as compared with the case of growing in a jelly.

Further, the plant ornamental set 1 of the present embodiment emits light because light emitted individually from the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c is mixed well when passing through the diffusion lens 14. The color of the light that the member 10 irradiates the transparent container 2 can be made vivid.
Further, according to the plant ornamental set 1 of the present embodiment, the light emitted from the light emitting member 10 to the transparent container 2 by switching the light emitting states of the green light emitting diode 10a, the red light emitting diode 10b, and the blue light emitting diode 10c by the control circuit 16. Since the color of is switched, the color in the transparent container 2 can be changed.
Moreover, according to the plant ornamental set 1 of this embodiment, since the light emitting member 10 is light-emitted using the light emitting diode 10a, 10b, 10c with small power consumption, the lifetime of the batteries 17 and 17 becomes long. Therefore, the plant appreciation set 1 can cause the light emitting member 10 to emit light for a continuous period of 70 hours or longer with only the batteries 17 and 17 built in the coaster 7 without providing an outlet or the like.

Moreover, according to the plant appreciation set 1 of the present embodiment, the ceramics 5 placed in the transparent container 2 together with the jelly 4 generates negative ions in the transparent container 2 to purify the transparent container 2. The turbidity inside can be eliminated, the light transmittance can be improved, and the growth activation of the plant 6 can be achieved.
In addition, according to the plant ornamental set 1 of the present embodiment, the coaster 7, the dried jelly powder obtained by drying the jelly 4, and the transparent container 2 are carried in one packing material, so that the plant is transferred in the transaction distribution process. The restriction | limiting at the time of conveying the ornamental set 1 can be reduced.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible.
For example, in the above embodiment, the switch 18 is slid to switch the on / off state. On the other hand, when the switch 18 is provided on the back surface of the coaster 7 so as to be able to enter and exit, and the transparent container 2 is placed on the placement surface 9, the switch is turned on by the weight of the transparent container 2, so The switch may be turned off when lowered from 9. In this case, since the switch protrudes from the back surface of the coaster 7, it becomes somewhat uneasy when the transparent container 2 is placed, but the trouble of operating the switch can be reduced.
For example, although the transparent layer and the jelly layer are formed in the transparent container 2 in the above embodiment, the jelly layer may be used.
For example, in the above embodiment, the ceramic 5 coated with a glaze that generates negative ions is used. However, a ceramic formed by mixing a material that generates negative ions into a ceramic material may be used.
