It is designed to supply electricity. The petals 7 are set to change color from red to white when heated to 50° C. or higher.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a light and electricity supply means 11 is built into the pot part 2. The light and electricity supply means 11 is disposed at the lower part of the stem 4 and is interposed between a light source lamp 12 for supplying white light to the optical fiber cable and the light source lamp 12 and the lower part of the stem 4. , a disc 13 that controls the color of the light from the light source lamp 12, a drive motor 14 that rotationally drives this disc 13, a control device 15 that controls the rotational speed of this drive motor 14, etc. It mainly consists of a timer 16 to which a lead wire 10 is connected and which sets the energization time for passing electricity through the lead wire 10 as well as a timer 16 which sets the drive time of the control device 15, and these are connected by electric wires 17, respectively. ing.

This timer 16 is connected to the lead wire 10 of the stem 4;
It automatically controls the duration of electricity supplied to the light source lamp 12 and the control device 15, and is repeatedly turned on and off at intervals of, for example, 10 seconds. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the disc 13 has four light passing windows 19a, 19b, 19c around the center hole 18 to which the rotation shaft of the drive motor 14 is connected.
, 19d are formed, and these four light passing windows 19
A, 19b, 19c, and 19d are pasted with green cellophane paper, red cellophane paper, yellow cellophane paper, and blue cellophane paper, respectively. In addition, 20 in the figure is a power outlet.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

[0013] Plug in the power outlet 20 and turn on the timer 1.
When the switch 6 is turned on, the lead wire 10 of the stem 4, the light source lamp 12, and the control device 15 are repeatedly energized at set intervals. When the power of the timer 16 is turned on, electricity flows through the lead wire 10 of the stem 4 to the thermal heater wire 8 of the petal 7, and the thermal heater wire 8 is heated. With this, petal 7
When the flower is heated to 50° C. or higher, the color of the petals 7 changes from red to white.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the light source lamp 12 and the control device 15 are also energized, the light source lamp 12 shines, and the drive motor 14 connected to the control device 15 is driven.
The disk 13 rotates. At this time, if the light passing window through which the light from the light source lamp 12 passes is, for example, the light passing window 19a, the light from the white light source lamp 12 is colored green and passes through the optical fiber cable of the stem 4 to the flower part 5. The light will be emitted near the flower core 9. As a result, the petals 7, which have turned white due to the heating wire 8, are made to shine green. Then, the disk 13 rotates and the light passing window 19a moves, and when the next light passing window 19b is positioned above the light source lamp 12, the light from the white light source lamp 12 is colored red, and the optical fiber of the stem 4 is colored red. The light passes through the cable and is emitted near the flower core 9 of the flower part 5, causing the petals 7 to shine from green to red. Furthermore, when the disk 13 rotates and the light passing window 19b moves, and the next light passing window 19c is positioned above the light source lamp 12, the light from the white light source lamp 12 is colored yellow, and the optical fiber of the stem 4 is colored yellow. The light passes through the cable and is emitted near the flower core 9 of the flower part 5, causing the petals 7 to shine from red to yellow. When the disk 13 further rotates and the light passing window 19c moves, and the next light passing window 19d is positioned above the light source lamp 12, the light from the white light source lamp 12 is colored blue, and the light from the stem 4 is colored blue. The light passes through the fiber cable and is emitted near the flower core 9 of the flower part 5, causing the petals 7 to shine from yellow to blue. Thereafter, by repeating this process, the flower part 5 will be illuminated in successive colors.

Next, when the timer 16 automatically expires after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the power supply to the light source lamp 12 and the control device 15 is stopped, and the illumination of the flower part 5 is extinguished. At the same time, the power to the heater wire 8 of the petal 7 is also stopped, so the petal 7 begins to cool down, and when the temperature drops below 50° C., the color of the petal 7 changes from white to red. Then, once a predetermined time has elapsed, the timer 16 is turned on again, and the above-described operation is repeated.

As described above, according to the present invention, by arbitrarily changing the color of the flower part 5 and making it shine in various colors depending on the set time, the effect of attracting the attention of many viewers is improved. It can be widely used as a decoration for show windows and stage equipment. In particular, its beauty becomes apparent in the dark, and its effects are great.

If necessary, the set time of the timer 16, the rotational speed and direction of the drive motor 14, the number of light passing windows, the color of the colored cellophane paper pasted thereon, etc. may be varied. It is possible. Moreover, if this is installed in an exhibition hall or a show window, it will have the effect of attracting the eyes of more pedestrians, so it is also possible to enhance the advertising effect by using it in conjunction with advertising.
