Description

The present invention has a lighting device inside the edge of a box-shaped picture frame, and a picture frame, a photo stand, etc. for illuminating an object to be illuminated (hereinafter called the object to be illuminated) such as a drawing, photograph, document or workpiece disposed on the bottom surface thereof. The present invention relates to a device and a method for a display board (hereinafter referred to as a frame).

In recent years, as a so-called “digital photo frame”, dedicated devices for displaying various digital photographic information obtained by a digital camera on a liquid crystal display device have been commercialized and are spreading. In addition, display devices that print photographs in a translucent state on a film or transparent resin plate using a special method and irradiate with a so-called backlight light source from the back are also popular. Currently, there are few devices on the market, such as picture frames and photo frames, that illuminate and display the actual material such as paper or cloth that has been printed or printed.

Actual application 2009-007946

The frame of the present invention is an interaction between a light source provided along the inside of the housing wall surface and a transparent reflector such as glass provided on the frame portion with the illumination object mounted in the housing as it is. Provided is a structure that can be illuminated integrally and that the frame portion can be separated from the casing, divided, or opened and closed to attach the object to be illuminated and to exchange the frame.

Challenges to solve the idea

As described above, the frame has a smaller thickness than the surface area of the object to be illuminated, such as a drawing. Therefore, the object to be illuminated is stored and mounted in the center of the bottom surface of the frame housing without any special processing. The light source housed in the peripheral part (edge part) of the casing that can be taken is configured to irradiate the object to be illuminated from the upper surface. Usually, the frame part and the housing part that houses the illumination mechanism are illuminated. Pre-integrated to illuminate the body most evenly. At this time, it is possible to open and close by adding another bottom surface that also serves as a lid so that the object to be illuminated is housed and mounted on the bottom surface of the housing so that the illumination light source system is not affected. As described above, it is inserted and housed from here, or inserted and housed with a gap provided on the side surface. For this reason, the object to be illuminated is not a thin sheet or plate-like planar object, but it is difficult to insert or store the object in the housing for three-dimensional objects such as oil paintings, pressed flowers, patchwork or dolls, models, and reliefs. Not only was it possible to install and install while confirming the lighting effect. Also, it was difficult to change the design, such as the size, shape, and color of the frame part from the initial selection state, and it was difficult to obtain consistency with the object to be illuminated.

Means for solving the problem

The illuminated frame of the present invention mainly consists of two parts, a frame part and a box-shaped housing, both of which are in close contact with each other during normal use, but both are stored when the object to be illuminated is stored in the housing. The object to be illuminated can be arranged on the bottom surface of the casing without being obstructed by the frame part from the frame side, and the above-described three-dimensional object to be illuminated can be freely displayed and arranged. A transparent plate such as glass or acrylic is provided on the top surface of the central portion of the frame, and a light source and a transparent plate similar to those described above are provided on the outer peripheral wall surface of the box-shaped housing. To illuminate the object to be illuminated. The light from the light source not only directly irradiates the object to be illuminated, but also radiates well to the center of the face by reflection of the transparent plate, so that a relatively uniform illumination effect is easily obtained. In addition, since the frame part can be exchanged, various frame designs can be selected.

Effect of device

The frame according to the present invention is not limited to normal flat drawings, photos, documents, etc. but also oil paintings, pressed flowers, patchwork or dolls, models, reliefs, etc. Since it can be illuminated with almost uniform brightness, it can be used for other purposes such as commercial advertising boards, display devices, and display boards. In this new product field, the present invention brightly illuminates the things you want to decorate and memories, and gives you more peace of mind and gives you peace of mind. Pioneering can be expected.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the application example of FIG. The left side of FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an illuminated frame as a representative example of the device according to the present invention, and the right side is a YY side sectional view thereof. The structure of this apparatus is mainly the frame structure (1) of the illuminated frame, the casing (2), the transparent plate (13) at the center of the frame section, and the main structure and the casing of the bottom surface (21) of the casing. It comprises a light source (26) for illumination provided on the inner surface of the body side surface (22), and an illuminated body (24) to be illuminated. The cross section of the frame portion (1) is indicated by a thick solid line, and the casing (2) is usually indicated by a solid line of thickness. In normal use, the two are in close contact with each other as shown in FIG. 1, and the upper half of the horizontal center line indicated by line XX in FIG. The structure which is fastened to the back surface (11) of the edge portion of the frame portion (1), and the lower half is a structure in which the outer surface of the housing side surface (22) is fitted to the inner surface of the frame portion side surface (12). (Fitting part) is shown respectively. Moreover, in the latter, you may fasten using a hinge (hinge) (31). If the screw (3) is removed or the fitting is removed, or if the hinge (31) or the fitting part is rotated (not shown) as a fulcrum, the frame part (1) and the casing (2) are Opened separately or divided. The structures described above may be used in combination with different ones as appropriate, and include ones that slide both open and close (not shown). At this time, the object to be illuminated (24) can easily mount and install various objects on the bottom surface (21) of the housing (2) while confirming the illumination effect from the top surface.

The light source (26) is composed of a fluorescent tube, a cold cathode tube (CCFL), an LED (light emitting diode) or the like, and the emitted light directly illuminates the illuminated object when the frame is combined, and other light. Is also reflected by a transparent plate (13) such as glass or acrylic provided in the center of the frame (1), and is also set to contribute to illumination and become brighter. When the object to be illuminated (24) is a sheet-like object such as a drawing, photograph or document, the press plate (25) or If the decoration (14) such as matte paper that decorates the periphery of the illuminated body (24) in the frame portion is used, more effective display illumination is possible.

In addition, when the casing-side transparent plate (27) is detachably added to the upper top surface of the casing (2), it becomes easier to install and check the illumination effect of the illuminated body (24). In manufacturing, it is easy to check the illumination structure and the mounting function only on the case side. Further, as described above, the frame portion (1) can be appropriately replaced if the dimensions and mounting methods of the respective portions are compatible, and the effects and features of the illuminated frame can be further exhibited. In addition, the casing-side transparent plate (27) has a cross-sectional shape that is not only flat, but also has a wedge shape, a curved surface, or an uneven shape, so that the function as a light guide plate or a reflection plate can be enhanced to achieve more uniform and clear illumination. is there.
