Description

The present invention is a transparent plate provided on the front side of an object to be illuminated (hereinafter referred to as the object to be illuminated) such as a drawing, photograph, document or workpiece disposed on the inner surface of the back portion of the lighting device inside the box-shaped frame. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for a picture frame, a photo frame, a display board (hereinafter referred to as a picture frame) for illuminating a picture or character drawn with fluorescent ink, phosphorescent ink, or engraving.

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 display the actual printed material such as paper or cloth printed or printed as it is. In addition, on the same surface side, drawings and characters made by entering light from a side section of a transparent plate such as glass or acrylic and drawing on the surface with fluorescent ink or phosphorescent ink or engraving with a sculpture device. There are existing devices that make it look shining, but no examples of applying these to the above-mentioned picture frame or photo frame that can be illuminated are confirmed.

Problems that the device tries to solve

In the frame with illumination according to the present invention, since the object to be illuminated is used as it is without any particular processing or processing, it is not possible to directly write or decorate, for example, drawings or photographs. It is possible to provide a transparent plate such as glass or acrylic on the front of the object to be illuminated, but it is possible to add writing or decoration to it, but if this is not illuminated, it is dark and difficult to see, and the lighting effect on the object to be illuminated may be reduced. There is. As described in Section 0002, it is preferable to provide a separate light source so that light is incident from the side cross-sections of these transparent plates so that the writing and decoration can be seen. A possible structure is required.

Means for solving the problem

The frame of the present invention is such that the light source provided along the inside of the casing side surface illuminates the illuminated body provided on the inner side surface of the casing back face as it is, so that it can be viewed from the front of the frame. At the same time, the light from this light source is also incident on the side cross section of a transparent plate such as glass or acrylic provided in front of the object to be illuminated, and the surface is drawn with fluorescent ink, phosphorescent ink or engraving equipment. By having a secondary function of brightly illuminating the drawn picture or character by its refraction or light emission effect, the object or object is illuminated in an overlapping manner.

Effect of device

The frame according to the configuration of the previous section according to the present invention is processed not only for ordinary planar drawings, photographs and documents, but also for three-dimensional objects such as oil paintings, pressed flowers, patchwork or dolls, models and reliefs as illuminated objects. It can be illuminated with almost even brightness in the normal state without adding it, and it can also illuminate the drawings and characters that are freely drawn or sculpted on the front of it, and it can be displayed on top of each other, so it is equipped with commercial lighting It can also be used for advertising boards, exhibition devices, display boards, etc. for similar purposes. In addition to the illumination of the object to be illuminated by this device, a message is given to it to greatly improve the display effect, and it can be expected to have a rich and profound lighting effect with information necessary for memorabilia and memorabilia etc. The development of the field can be expected. The illuminated frame of the present invention can be used for night illumination, but using phosphorescent ink improves the convenience of the afterglow after the illumination is turned off.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to application examples shown in FIGS. The left side of FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an illuminated frame as a representative example of the apparatus according to the present invention, the right side is a YY side sectional view, and FIG. 2 is an illuminated body and a transparent plate that can be used for this frame. It is the schematic of the holder which hold | maintains them. The structure of this apparatus mainly includes a frame portion (1) of a frame with illumination, a housing (2), a frame transparent plate (11) at the center of the frame portion, a side surface (21) of the housing, and a rear surface of the housing (22). ) A main illumination system for an illuminating body composed of an illuminating light source (3) and an illuminating body (4) to be illuminated, and a frame transparent plate on the front surface of the illuminating body (4). 11) and a sub-illumination system comprising a transparent plate (5) provided between the two. Here, the light source (3) is provided at the position of the right side cross section in FIG. 1 so as to illuminate the illuminated body (4) and also the side cross section of the reflector (5). In addition, a spacer (7) for adjusting the distance between the object to be illuminated (4) and the transparent plate (5), and a diffusion plate (6) for diffusing light from the light source (3) for illumination. And a decorative edge (also called mat) (12) are provided, and a holder (8) as shown in FIG. 2 is also used in some cases to constitute the entire illuminated frame.

As described above, the light emitted from the light source (3) is diffused and uniformed by the diffusion plate (6), and is mainly directed toward the surface of the illuminated body (4) to directly illuminate it. At this time, other light that is not directly illuminated is also reflected by the smooth surface on the illuminated body (4) side of the transparent plate (5) provided with the spacer (7) interposed therebetween, and the illuminated (4) is indirectly reflected. Illuminate. Further, it is reflected by the frame transparent plate (11) in the frame portion (1) and contributes to the indirect illumination described above. For this reason, this to-be-illuminated body (4) contributes to illumination more uniform and high illumination intensity compared with only direct illumination. A part of the light from the light source (3) is incident on the side section of the transparent plate (5) through the diffusion plate (6). This transparent plate (5) is made of resin such as glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, etc., and its frame side surface is drawn with fluorescent ink or phosphorescent ink such as a fluorescent pen or printed with fluorescent ink or phosphorescent ink. If a sticker or object is pasted, or a pattern such as an uneven groove is drawn on the surface using a sculpture device such as a sword or laser, the incident light is refracted by these added figures. It appears on the surface and emits fluorescence or brightly illuminates. As a result, from the front of the frame, the above-mentioned drawings, characters, patterns, etc. appear to shine on the illuminated object illuminated brightly. The light source (3) is usually provided with a fluorescent lamp, a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a light emitting diode (LED) or the like substantially linearly along the inside of the casing side surface (21) of a rectangular frame. In the example of FIG. 1, although provided along the inside of the two opposite housing side surfaces (21), the illumination of the portions that are likely to be dark in the portions away from the light source (3) can be complemented to obtain uniform illuminance. Cheap. The light source (3) is also provided on the inner side of the other side surface (21) of the other case, or in some cases, only one of FIG. 1 is used, and the other is a reflector (see FIG. (Not shown) may be used instead. The diffuser plate (6) is usually formed of ground glass, milky translucent resin, or a transparent plate such as acrylic or glass having fine irregularities or lens patterns on the surface. The light source (3) is a fluorescent lamp, CCFL or the like. Thus, it can be omitted if it is already diffused on the light emitting surface or is unnecessary due to the lighting effect. The spacer (7) is provided so that the light from the light source (3) works most conveniently on the former and the latter by appropriately securing the space between the illuminated body (4) and the transparent plate (5). (2) There may be no case where it can be replaced by another internal structure or unnecessary due to the lighting effect.

When the object to be illuminated (4) is a flat drawing, photograph, document or the like, the transparent plate (5) is stored in the holder (8) in advance as shown in FIG. 1 so that the holder (8) can be mounted at a corresponding position of the illuminated body and the transparent plate (not shown) of the casing (2) shown in FIG. A lid (23) in which a part of the housing back surface (22) can be attached or detached, a slit-like opening (not shown) on the housing side surface (21), or the frame portion (1) When the holder (8) is separated from the housing (2) and is detachable so that the holder (8) can be inserted into the housing (2) from the opened portion and stored or taken out, the illumination The entire system can be handled very easily and the objects can be exchanged freely. The holder (8) is indicated by a thick long chain line in FIG. 2 and is formed of resin, steel plate, etc., but the light emitted from the light source (3) in the Y-Y axis direction is perpendicular to the same axis as indicated by the arrows in FIG. The side cross section of the transparent plate (5) parallel to the X-X axis and the surface of the illuminated body (4) are shaped so that light can enter.
