[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] These decorative items are not only used as mere decorations, but also have an important effect when used for special purposes such as festival halls and play areas. For example, in events at amusement parks, indoor and outdoor concerts, sports competitions, speed races, demonstrations, festival ceremonies, etc., it is important to more actively display their function as props for production.

[0004] On the other hand, the above-mentioned conventional ornaments are static effects with simple decorative finishes such as painting the ornament body, printing, embroidery, or gloss printing with animals, character dolls, various emblems, etc. It was only effective. However, with the development of electronics technology in recent years, microcircuits that emit light have become practical, and small items such as watches and jewelry can now be equipped with circuit boards that produce complex and dynamic effects. There is.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination ornament that brings about a dramatic effect using light, which was impossible to achieve with conventional ornaments such as pendants.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the illumination ornament of the present invention has a transparent decorative plate on the surface of the main body, and a plurality of light emitting element groups on the back side of the transparent decorative plate. It is equipped with an illumination board that can be controlled to flicker, so that the emblem display function can be emphasized by flickering the illumination in multiple colors.

[0007] Furthermore, a light scattering plate is interposed between the transparent decorative plate and the illumination substrate to refract the light from the light emitting element group in multiple directions, thereby making it possible to realize multiple illumination. .

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a watch to which the illumination ornament of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a watch-shaped ornament main body. Although the shape of the ornament main body 1 is not particularly limited, in this embodiment, a circular one with a diameter of about 3 to 7 cm is shown. The main body 1
A case 2 made of metal or plastic is equipped with a predetermined substrate, a cover plate, and the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a transparent decorative plate provided on the surface of the ornament main body 1. The transparent decorative plate 3 is made of a colorless or colored plastic member, and is designed so that the ornament main body 1 can be seen through from the surface. There is. A predetermined picture, character pattern, etc. may be drawn on the surface of the transparent decorative plate 3 to make it more interesting. 4 is a light scattering plate, and the light scattering plate 4 is made of a colorless or colored transparent (or semitransparent) plastic plate. A concavo-convex pattern that can form a microprism is formed on the back side of the light scattering plate 4, so that light from a light-emitting element L, which will be described later, can be refracted and scattered in a plurality of directions. That is, for example, on the surface of the light scattering plate 4, fine 3
Square grooves are provided in three or four directions, and triangular pyramid prisms, quadrangular pyramid prisms, etc. are densely formed, so that bright spots can be refracted in multiple directions. Therefore, when the bright spots on the lower side of the light scattering plate 4 are viewed through the transparent decorative plate 3, they appear as a collection of a plurality of bright spots equally spaced on concentric circles.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an illumination board, and the board 5 is installed between the back surface of the light scattering plate 4 and the case 2. A plurality of light emitting elements (LEDs, light emitting diodes) L and a control circuit C are integrally formed on the substrate 5, and according to commands from the control circuit C, the group of light emitting elements L blinks in an appropriate order and timing. It can be controlled. Here, the light emitting elements L group are, for example, clockwise: ■red, ■red, ■green, ■
The light emitting colors of red and ■green are arranged in this order, and the control circuit C repeats the change of the blinking position and color in the following order, for example: ■→■→■→■→■→■→■ It looks like this.

The control circuit C is connected to the case 2 of the main body 1.
It is configured to be turned on and off by a switch S provided on the side of the switch. B is a button battery for power supply. Note that the color combination and spatial arrangement of the light emitting elements L group are arbitrary, and it goes without saying that the blinking order, time interval, etc. by the control circuit C may be programmed to form an appropriate illumination pattern.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a band for attaching the main body 1 to the arm. In the embodiment described above, when the switch S of the accessory main body 1 is pressed, the circuit of the substrate 5 is turned on, and the light emitting elements L group start blinking in a predetermined order according to a command from the control circuit C. This blinking pattern is refracted and scattered in multiple directions via the light scattering plate 5, creating a complex and irregular illumination space around the surface of the transparent decorative plate 3. At the same time, illumination light is projected through the transparent decorative plate 3 to the surroundings, illuminating the arms, head, chest, etc. in bright colors. Particularly in event venues at night, even if the emblem cannot be identified, the illumination pattern effectively acts as an emblem and reveals its function.

When the switch S on the ornament main body 1 is pressed again, the board 5 is turned off and the illumination is stopped. In addition, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the illumination ornament of the present application was configured as a watch type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a pendant hung on the chest, an emblem on a hat, a sticker, etc. Of course you can.
