Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The entire pattern seen through the peep hole (11) becomes brighter, you can enjoy vivid colors, and the pattern changes while you are looking. Moreover, since the colorful pattern material (6) stored inside is seen from the outside in an enlarged manner, the kaleidoscope itself becomes an eye-catching and the customer's willingness to purchase is promoted. [Constitution] In order to make it easier for light to enter the inside of the cylindrical body (1),
In order to rotatably attach the transparent cylindrical storage chamber (5) to the cylindrical body (1) and to change the pattern seen through the peep hole (11), the storage chamber (5) has a small piece. A large number of pattern materials (6) composed of spheres and the like are housed and a liquid (7) such as viscous oil is filled inside.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a kaleidoscope capable of changing a pattern while looking through a peephole and seeing a new pattern which cannot be seen by a conventional one.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the conventional kaleidoscope, one end is covered with frosted glass, and as a pattern material to be stored in the kaleidoscope, a small piece of transparent colored pieces that is thin and thin is used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if the pattern material used for the kaleidoscope is a transparent colored piece and is not thin and thin, light will be interrupted when it reaches the peephole and become a shadow, or there will be many overlaps. If this happens, the entire pattern may become dark and you may not be able to see a beautiful pattern. In addition, since the pattern material is thin, the pattern seen through the peep hole is generally the same pattern unless the kaleidoscope is moved, and there is a problem that there is no change.

In the present invention, the pattern material may be a sphere or a small block having a large thickness, and the pattern material continues to move in the liquid until they are submerged in the liquid to define the pattern. , To provide a kaleidoscope that can create new patterns that cannot be seen in the past.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, that is, in order to make it easier for light to enter the inside of the cylindrical body, a transparent cylindrical storage chamber is rotatably attached to the cylindrical body. In order to change the pattern that can be seen from the hole, the storage chamber contains a large number of pattern materials consisting of small pieces and spheres, and the inside of which is filled with a viscous liquid so that the pattern material sinks. It has a structure in which the pattern changes in the meantime.

[0006]

[Action]

 Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. A transparent cylindrical storage chamber (5) is rotatably attached to the end of the flat mirror (2) corresponding to the frosted glass side of the cylindrical body (1) in advance, and a small piece (61) is attached to the storage chamber (5). Approximately one-third of the pattern materials (6) such as spheres (62) and rods (63) are stored, and the storage chamber (5) is filled with a liquid (7) such as oil or water. First, hold the tubular body (1) in your hand and look into the peep hole (11). Next, when the cylindrical body (1) is tilted, the pattern material (6) located above sinks downward. At this time, since the liquid (7) is viscous, the sinking speed varies depending on the type of the small piece (61), sphere (62), and rod (63), and the pattern moves during that time, creating a fantasy world. Be expanded. Especially, if each surface of the pattern material (6) is mixed with gold or silver and has a glossy and easily reflective surface, it will be exposed to the light from the side of the storage room (5) and it will be momentarily. Because it shines, it becomes even more mysterious. After the pattern has settled down, the pattern changes as the storage chamber (5) is gradually rotated. In addition, in the present invention, since the entire storage chamber (5) for storing the pattern material (6) is transparent, sufficient light can be taken in, and clear colors can be enjoyed with almost no shadows. It becomes.

FIG. 3 shows a convex portion (51) protruding in a curved shape formed at the tip of the storage chamber (5), and a small pattern material (6) is formed in the central portion of the convex portion (51). And large things gather around the perimeter. Therefore, the pattern material (6) that moves in the central part and the pattern material (6) that moves in the outer periphery are separately unfolded and combined, so that a centripetal pattern is created and the movement of the pattern material (6) Becomes smooth, and you can see with a stable and calm feeling. Also, when the convex portion (51) is viewed from the outside, the surface of the convex portion (51) functions as a convex lens, and the colorful pattern material (6) stored in the storage chamber (5) is enlarged. It For this reason, the kaleidoscope itself is extremely conspicuous, attracting the eye and motivating purchasing.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (1) is a cylindrical body that accommodates three elongated flat mirrors (2) formed in a triangular shape, and a transparent plate (13) is provided at one end of the cylindrical body (1) to provide a peephole in the center. The lid (12) with the hole (11) is fixed. (3) is a flange-shaped stop member fixed to the other end of the tubular body (1), and the role of the stop member (3) is to rotate a transparent storage chamber (5) described later with the tubular body (1). It is designed to be movably attached and to prevent it from coming off. (4) is a storage chamber mounting cylinder, and (5) is a transparent, cylindrical storage chamber that is fixed to the storage chamber mounting cylinder (4). 61), spheres (62), rods (63) and pattern materials (6) such as thick small blocks are stored and filled with liquid (7) and sealed. A convex portion (51) protruding in a curved shape as shown in Fig. 3 is formed at the tip of the storage chamber (5). The convex portion (51) expands the internal pattern material (6). It also doubles as a lens that appears to be played. The pattern material (6) does not have to be translucent, and may be, for example, metal, synthetic resin, or other material. As the liquid (7), turpentine oil, machine oil, light oil, kerosene, silicone oil, alcohol, water or the like is used.

[0009]

[Effect of the device]

 By having such a configuration, the present invention has the effects described below.

Since the entire storage chamber (5) in which the pattern material (6) is stored is transparent, there is almost no fear that light will be interrupted and a shadow will be generated on the way to the peep hole (11) as in the conventional case. Even if the pattern material (6) overlaps a lot, the entire pattern does not get dark and you can always enjoy vivid colors.

Since no frosted glass as in the conventional case is used, there is almost no restriction of the pattern material (6) and the pattern material (6) can be used freely, and more than one-third or more in the storage chamber (5) can be stored. , More diverse than before, and new patterns can be created. In particular, the sphere (62) moves forever and creates a changing pattern.

Since the storage chamber (5) is filled with the liquid (7) and the pattern material (6) such as the small piece (61), the sphere (62) and the bar material (63) is used, it sinks depending on its weight and shape. At different speeds, patterns move until the subsidence ends, and a fantasy world develops.

In the present invention, since the pattern changes while looking through, a new pattern that cannot be seen in the past is created, and the interestingness is increased to a degree uncomparable with the conventional one.

With the convex portion (51) provided at the tip of the storage chamber (5), the colorful pattern material (6) stored inside can be seen enlarged from the outside, so that the kaleidoscope itself is eye-catching. And the customer's willingness to buy is promoted.
