Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To replace a light source with a storage battery type (charge when bright, discharge when dark) and LED, and provide a hole or slit-like gap on the side of a cylindrical body such as bamboo. Provide lights that allow light to leak.
SOLUTION: Bamboo 1 is used and the length of the cylinder is about 40 cm. A commercially available solar rechargeable battery type automatic on / off LED light source 3 is screwed to the upper end of the bamboo tube. A hole was drilled on the side of the bamboo. Holes 7 having a diameter of 20 mm were formed at intervals of 40 mm in a horizontal row, and a hole 7 having a diameter of 12 m was formed at a position in the middle of the 20 mm hole that was previously opened 20 mm away from the center line of the hole. Furthermore, a hole 7 having a diameter of 10 mm is formed in the lower portion at intervals of 20 mm to form a light 6 used outdoors such as a garden. Furthermore, the length of the bamboo may be shortened to improve stability and be used indoors.

Description

Conventional bamboo lights ignite by putting candles in the bamboo, but it was necessary to refill, ignite, and extinguish the candles. In addition, fires may disappear on windy days, and installation locations are limited due to concerns about fire and burns.
Therefore, instead of candles, we use solar-charged storage batteries and light sources such as LEDs that automatically turn on and off, as well as provide holes and slits on the sides of cylindrical bodies such as bamboo so that internal light leaks out. I made it.
This eliminates the need for refilling candles. Also, since no fire is used, there is no need to worry about fire or burns. Furthermore, there is no need for a power outlet if it can be recharged in the sun, and it can be placed anywhere, so the places where it can be used, such as gardens, indoor rims, and windows, have expanded dramatically. If natural bamboo is used, it can be expected to have an interior effect throughout the day and night. It can also be expected to play a role as a guide light during nighttime power outages.

  Conventional bamboo lights were lit by putting candles in a bamboo cylinder. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, bamboo is cut into knots into cups, candles are placed in the bamboo and lit and used for events.

  However, it was indispensable to replenish candles, etc. that were put in the bamboo cylinders with ignition. Ignition and extinguishing were done manually. When the wind was strong, the fire could extinguish and a patrol was necessary. There was a concern about fire near combustible materials. Because of the use of fire, there was a risk of burns when children approached. Use place was limited to use fire.

  The light source is replaced by a storage battery type (charged when it gets brighter, discharged when it gets darker) and LEDs, and a hole or slit-like gap is provided on the side of a cylindrical body such as bamboo to leak light inside. I did it.

  It automatically turns on when it gets darker and turns off automatically when it gets brighter. Of course, it is no longer necessary to refill candles. No need to worry about the fire extinguishing due to strong winds. Because no fire is used, there is no risk of fire or burns. You can place it anywhere in the garden, indoor edge, bay window, etc., as long as it can be charged by the sun without worrying about the power outlet. A hole or slit-like space is provided in a cylindrical body such as bamboo so that the light inside can be leaked, so you can enjoy the pattern of light and shadow as the interior. In the event of a blackout at night, the role of a guide light can also be expected. Since bamboo is easy to process, it can be processed from long garden lights to short indoor lights.

It is a figure which shows the conventional bamboo lamp. It is a figure which shows the bamboo lamp of Example 1 of this invention. It is a figure which shows the bamboo lamp of Example 2 of this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. First, the example of the left figure is described. Bamboo 1 is used and the length of the tube is about 40cm. Bamboo light for garden 6 A commercially available solar rechargeable battery type automatic on / off LED light source 3 is screwed to the upper end of the bamboo tube. A hole was drilled on the side of the bamboo. Holes 7 having a diameter of 20 mm were formed at intervals of 40 mm in a horizontal row, and a hole 7 having a diameter of 12 mm was formed at a position in the middle of the 20 mm hole that was previously opened 20 mm away from the center line of the hole. Further, two holes 7 having a diameter of 10 mm were formed at intervals of 20 mm below.
Next, an example of the right figure will be described. Bamboo is used and the length of the cylinder is about 17cm. Bamboo light for indoor use that is difficult to tip over. The above-described commercially available solar charging / storage type automatic on / off LED light source 3 is screwed. A 12 mm diameter hole 7 was drilled on the side of the bamboo with a drill at the apex of the rhombus. The rhombus diagonals are 55mm wide and 45mm long. Three sets were opened so that the hole could be seen from any position.

  An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Using bamboo 1 that is easy to process, the total length is 110cm. Divide the upper bamboo 1 into 16 equal parts with an ax and split (break) about 60 cm. In order to make it into a slit, adjust the inset of a bamboo ring, and install a commercially available solar rechargeable battery type automatic on / off LED light source 3 at the top. The lower part was divided into 8 parts with an ax as the part corresponding to the foot, and the bamboo was opened. The part corresponding to the waist was wound with a rope 4 to prevent cracking and accent.

Claims (1)

A hole or slit-shaped gap is provided on the side of a cylindrical body such as bamboo, and a light source that combines a storage battery with solar charge and LED that emits light when it becomes bright and discharges when it becomes dark.
