Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a jigsaw puzzle having a light emitting part.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, jigsaw puzzles had the function of not only being a puzzle game in which a picture is completed by combining a plurality of small pieces, but also being used as a decorative item to display the completed picture in a frame. Therefore, there were no jigsaw puzzles with luminescent parts.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, when considered as a decorative item, the conventional jigsaw puzzle mentioned above is no different from an ordinary picture.
The problem was that it lacked interest. Also, in order to add interest, it is possible to apply fluorescent pigments so that some parts of the jigsaw puzzles can emit light even at night, but since the fluorescent pigments themselves are opaque, the pictures, letters, patterns, etc. originally printed on the jigsaw puzzles may not be visible. There was a problem that it became invisible and impaired its function as an ornament. Furthermore, it is also possible to print the entire picture, text, pattern, etc. with fluorescent pigment from the beginning, but in this case, only a part within one area formed by one color, for example, a part of the picture. It was extremely difficult to make only the outline of the object shine.

This invention was devised in view of the above problems, and in addition to playing with puzzles, it can be used as a decoration for ordinary paintings during the day, and at night, it can be used as a part of the painting or as a decoration different from the daytime. To provide an unprecedented and interesting jigsaw puzzle that has a function as a decorative item that makes paintings, etc. stand out.

[Means to solve the problem]

The jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention was devised to achieve the above object, and has the following configuration.

(a) A flat plate is formed by removably combining multiple small pieces.

(b) Letters, pictures, patterns, etc. are offset printed on one side of the flat board.

(c) A luminescent material consisting of 30 to 60% by weight of fluorescent pigment and 70 to 40% by weight of colorless ink is screen-printed on predetermined portions of offset-printed characters, pictures, patterns, etc.

[Effect]

Since the jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention has the above configuration, it is possible to play a puzzle game in which a painting or the like is completed by combining a plurality of small pieces. Furthermore, the assembled flat plates can be placed in a picture frame and used as an ornament. At this time, on the flat plate, predetermined parts of the offset-printed paintings, etc. are screen-printed using a transparent luminescent material, so you can see the offset-printed paintings, etc. during the day without any problems, and at night, the screen-printed images can be viewed. The illuminated areas emit light, allowing you to see a portion of an offset-printed painting or a painting that is different from what it looks like during the daytime.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 is a flat board on which a picture of a mountain, house, building, etc. is offset printed, and a plurality of small pieces 2
. . . are formed so that the engagement convex portion 2a and the engagement recess 2b formed therein are fitted and combined. For example, contour lines 3a, 3b, 3 of mountains, houses, buildings, etc.
A transparent luminescent material is silk-screen printed on the window c and the entire window 3d. This luminescent material contains 40% by weight of fluorescent pigment [trade name Keiko-Color Y-50 manufactured by Nippon Fluoro Chemical Co., Ltd.] and colorless ink [trade name
2000A ink, released by Mino Group Co., Ltd.〕60% by weight
It is a mixture of transparency and afterglow (luminescence).
It is equipped with

Therefore, after separating the flat plate 1 into a plurality of pieces 2..., the engaging protrusion 2a of one piece 2 is engaged with the engaging recess 2b of the other piece 2 to complete the picture. You can play a jigsaw puzzle by combining them to complete the original flat board 1.
Furthermore, by placing the completed flat plate 1 in a picture frame, it can be used as a decorative item. In this case, a part of the offset-printed picture is screen printed using a luminescent material, and since this luminescent material has transparency and afterglow (phosphorescence), the flat plate 1 has a You can see the offset-printed picture without any problem, and at night you can see parts of it, such as the outlines 3a of mountains, houses, and buildings.
3b, 3c and the entire window 3d emit light, making it possible to see an interesting picture different from that seen during the day.

Furthermore, if a pattern, text, picture, etc. that is completely different from or related to the offset-printed picture is silk-screen printed on the surface of the flat board using the transparent luminescent material, the pattern, etc. that cannot be seen during the day will emerge at night. This makes it possible to create a very interesting jigsaw puzzle.

For example, in the above example, "HAPPY
If you silkscreen print the words "NEW YEAR" on the top of the surface of the flat board 1, it will become a hidden character, adding to the fun of playing jigsaw puzzles and the anticipation of not knowing what is written until it gets dark. Together, they make an interesting and fun jigsaw puzzle. Also, if you offset-print a picture of the Empire State Building on the surface of a flat board, and then silk-screen print the outline of the Empire State Building and a picture of King Kong using a transparent luminescent material, you can print a picture of King Kong. The picture becomes a hidden picture, and during the day you can see a picture of a peaceful situation, and at night you can see a picture of a brutal situation where King Kong is climbing, making it a jigsaw puzzle that adds the fun of looking at it to the jigsaw puzzle game. .

[Effect of idea]

In addition to playing with jigsaw puzzles, this device can function as an ornament for ordinary paintings during the day, and at night, part of it emits light to highlight a part of the painting or another painting that is different from the daytime. has,
This has the effect of providing an interesting jigsaw puzzle that has never existed before.
