In order to enrich the sense of variety and taste, it is necessary to use a large number of lamps, which poses problems such as high installation costs.

In addition, conventional tables with decorative lighting fixtures lack a sense of taste because they are simply colored lamps placed on the top plate, and the area of the table becomes smaller when lighting fixtures are provided on the table.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned points, to provide a decorative lighting fixture and a table with a decorative lighting fixture that can be manufactured or installed at a lower cost and have a more tasteful appearance.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the decorative lighting device according to the present invention provides a light-transmitting window in a part of the case made of a non-light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting window is provided in a part of the case made of an opaque material. A lamp is provided facing the window, and the lamp rotates with at least a portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting window, and at least the portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting plate is transparent and divided into a plurality of sections. Two or more of the divided compartments are provided with colored translucent rotating plates each having a different color.

On the colored translucent rotary plate, a pattern that partially blocks light in black or dark color is fixed by coating or printing on the front or back surface of at least the colored portion so as to make the changes in illumination more complex. or between the light-transmitting window and the colored light-transmitting rotating plate or between the colored light-transmitting rotating plate and the lamp,
It is desirable to interpose a light-transmitting plate on which a black or dark-colored pattern that partially blocks light is fixed.

If the light-transmitting plate with a fixed pattern that partially blocks light as described above is rotated in the same direction or in a different direction from the rotation direction of the colored light-transmitting rotary plate, it will provide even more varied illumination. .

Furthermore, if the pattern of the rotating light-transmitting plate that partially blocks light is composed of parallel straight lines or curved lines, the illumination of the lamp changes more diversely as the light-transmitting plate rotates.

In any of the above cases, it is more preferable to use a cut-class or other transparent member having a diffused reflection surface, or one having a milky white color or a color similar thereto, as the light-transmitting window.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the table with a decorative lighting device according to the present invention has light-transmitting windows provided at predetermined intervals on the upper surface of a hollow top plate made of an opaque material, so that light-transmitting windows are provided in the hollow part of the hollow top plate. A lamp is provided facing the light-transmitting window, and the lamp rotates with at least a portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting window, and at least the portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting plate is transparent and divided into a plurality of sections. Colored transparent rotary plates each having a different color were installed on two of these divided compartments.

In order to vary the illumination of the lamp, it is possible to add a light-blocking pattern to the colored light-transmitting rotary plate, or alternatively, provide a light-blocking plate with a light-blocking pattern at a predetermined position. What is preferable is the same as that described with respect to the invention of the decorative lighting fixture.

It is also desirable to provide a transparent window in the hollow top at each position where a chair is normally placed.

Become rich.

In addition, we can add a pattern to the colored transparent rotary plate to block light,
If a light-transmitting plate with a pattern that blocks light is installed between the light-transmitting window and the colored light-transmitting rotating plate or between the lamp and the colored light-transmitting rotating plate, the illumination from the lamp can change even more. do.

When a transparent member having a diffused reflection surface is used as the light-transmitting window, the illumination of the lamp exhibits even more complex and diverse changes.

Furthermore, in the case where the illumination from the lamp is variously changed by the light-blocking pattern as described above, if the light-transmitting window is made milky white or a color close to it, through the light-transmitting window,
In the case of lighting from lamps, the color change caused by the colored transparent rotary plate becomes unclear, resulting in a more fantastical change in the illumination. If the shape is curved, the colored lighting will create an even more fantastical change through the curved surface.

The table with the decorative lighting device according to the present invention has the same effect as the above-mentioned decorative lighting device, but as a result of the lamp light shining upward from inside the table top, If you place a glass or other glass tableware near the glass tableware, the light from the lamp will be refracted or diffusely reflected by the glass tableware and the drink or ice inside, allowing you to enjoy the further changes in the light. be able to.

and the lamp 3. Instead of providing the light-transmitting plate 6, a pattern 6 that blocks light on the light-transmitting plate 6 may be provided between the light-transmitting plate 6 and the lamp 3.
0 to 62 may be represented on the colored transparent rotary plate 4 by printing or other suitable means.

When the above-mentioned decorative lighting equipment is used as a stand for glassware, etc., the ever-changing light is refracted and reflected by the glassware and the liquid inside the glassware, making the glassware even more beautiful. The more effective it is, the better it will be used as a ceiling lighting fixture, and the more effective it will be, the better it will be used as a decorative item or wall hanging.

FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a table in which the decorative lighting device according to the present invention is applied to the top plate, in which the hollow top plate 8, which replaces the case 1 in the above embodiment, is made of an opaque material; A hole is made in the face plate 81 for each part where a chair (not shown) is placed, and a transparent window 2 is formed in each part, and a transparent decorative board 9 is laid on the top plate 81 to prevent drinks spilled on the top plate 8. This is to prevent it from entering the hollow part of the top plate 8.

A motor 5 is provided on the bottom plate 82 of the hollow top plate 8, and a socket 32 with a reflector 31 is provided, and the lamp 3 facing the translucent window 2 is connected to the socket 32, as in the decorative lighting device of the previous embodiment. At the same time as installing motor 5
A colored light-transmitting rotating plate 4 and a light-transmitting plate 6 are provided so as to rotate at a reduced speed.

Preferably, the top plate 8 of this table is provided with a reinforcing spacer (not shown) at an appropriate interval between the top plate 81 and the bottom plate 82.

Also, if a proximity switch is used as a switch to blink each lamp 3 or a switch to operate each motor, the lamp 3 can be turned on or the motor 5 can be started when a person approaches the transparent window 2. More preferred.

The wound parts of the light-transmitting window 2, the colored light-transmitting rotary plate 4, the light-transmitting plate 6, etc., as well as their specific modifications and effects, are the same as those explained in the example of the light fixture for small meals, so they will be explained below. omitted.

When a table using the hollow top plate 8 as described above is used as a counter in a bar or the like, when a glass (not shown) containing a drink is placed on the transparent window 2, the color changes every moment. The emitted light from the lamp 3 is refracted or diffusely reflected by the glass and the drink, ice, etc. inside, giving an extremely fantastical feeling.

"Effects of the Invention" The decorative lighting device according to the present invention includes a case made of an opaque material, which is provided with a light-transmitting window in a part thereof, a lamp that faces the light-transmissive window in the case, and a part of the case made of a non-light-transparent material. The lamp rotates while passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting window, and the part passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting plate is transparent and divided into a plurality of sections, and two of the divided sections are colored with different colors, respectively. Since it is equipped with a colored transparent rotating plate, the different colors of the colored rotating plate are illuminated by the light of the lamp, changing every moment, making it very tasteful. Since the colored light-transmitting plate is rotated instead of rotating, it can be manufactured at a lower cost.

Further, in the table with a decorative lighting device according to the present invention, light-transmitting windows are provided at predetermined intervals on the upper surface of the hollow top plate made of a non-light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting windows are provided in the hollow part of the hollow top plate facing the light-transmitting windows. A lamp is provided, and the lamp rotates with at least a portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting window, and the portion passing between the lamp and the light-transmitting plate is transparent and divided into a plurality of sections, and the divided section is divided into a plurality of sections. Since the two lamps are equipped with colored translucent rotary plates each having a different color, it would be better to have a drinking glass on or near the translucent window to achieve the same effect as in the decorative lighting equipment. When placed, the ever-changing light is refracted or diffused in a complicated manner by the glass, the drink inside, the ice, etc., giving it a layered, fantastical beauty.
