Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a jewelry box for storing jewelry such as rings and necklaces.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional jewelry box, it is generally well known that the music box provided inside the case sounds when the cover is opened.

When the cover is opened, at the same time when the music is played, the cylindrical drum that is loosely fitted around the case rotates, and the pattern on the outer periphery of the drum moves. A jewel box with an oval having a visible structure has also been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-33767 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-33768).

Further, there is also a jewelry box in which the entire jewelry box is made of a transparent material so that the jewelry stored inside can be seen.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional jewelry box, when the cover is opened and the gemstone is taken out, the music is played or the pattern around the jewelry box moves, and when the cover is closed, It's just a box that shows no movement.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a completely new jewel box which has never been seen before, so that the jewels inside the case can be seen rotating through the cover when the cover is closed. It is in.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The feature of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is that a cover is attached to the upper surface of the case body so as to be openable and closable, and the inside of the case can be seen through the cover. A rotating table on which jewels can be placed is located on the upper surface of the case, and drive means for rotating the rotating table is provided inside the case body, and it is operated by opening and closing the cover. It operates by receiving the output of the open / close detection means, and rotates the drive means when the cover is closed, and stops the drive means when the cover is open. is there.

[0008]

[Action]

 While the cover is closed, the rotating table on which the gemstone is placed rotates, and at the same time when the cover is opened, the rotating table stops.

[0009]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a cover 3 is provided on the upper surface of the case body 1 via a hinge 2 so as to be openable and closable. The cover 3 is formed by attaching a transparent glass 4 having a dome shape via a glass retainer 5 so as to surround the hole 3a in the center thereof from above.

A lower plate 6 is attached to the bottom surface of the case body 1, and a driving motor 7 as an example of a driving means using a battery (not shown) as a driving source is attached to the lower plate 6. It is fixed. A cylindrical rotary table 8 is fixed to a drive shaft 7a protruding upward from the drive motor 7. The upper part of the rotary table 8 has a concave shape, and a double-folded bead 9 is fixed to the concave part. By inserting the ring 10 along the fold, the rotary table 8 is rotated. The ring 10 can be held on the top.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, when the cover 3 is closed, the ring 10 held on the rotation table 8 projects above the upper surface of the cover 3 through the hole 3a. Moreover, it is located inside the space surrounded by the transparent glass 4. Therefore, while the cover 3 is closed, the ring 10 held on the rotary table 8 is visible through the transparent glass 4 from the front, rear, left and right of the case body 1.

The lower plate 6 is further provided with a speaker 11 as an example of a sounding device for generating a melody when the cover 3 is opened, and a volume adjusting means for adjusting the volume of the melody generated by this speaker. 12 are provided.

An opening / closing detection switch 13 that is turned on / off by opening / closing the cover 3 is provided on the front upper surface of the case body 1.

An accommodating portion 14 for accommodating other jewels (not shown) such as a ring and a neckless is provided in the space above the inside of the case body 1 except for the rotary table 8. While the cover 3 is closed, the accommodating portion 14 is invisible from the outside.

Next, the circuit configuration of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, a drive circuit 15 and a melody generating circuit 16 are connected to the open / close detection switch 13. The drive circuit 15 is connected to drive means (drive motor) 7 and controls the rotation of the rotary table 8. The melody generating circuit 16 is connected to the sounding device (speaker) 11 and the volume adjusting means 12.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

While the cover 3 is closed (solid line in FIG. 1), the open / close detection switch 13 is in the on state, and the drive circuit 15 receives the ON signal from the open / close detection switch 13 and causes the drive motor 7 to operate. A drive signal is supplied, and the rotary table 8 on which the ring 10 is placed is slowly driven to rotate in one direction. The manner in which the ring 10 rotates together with the rotation table 8 can be visually recognized through the transparent glass 4 from the front, rear, left and right of the case body 1.

When the cover 3 is opened (broken line in FIG. 1), the open / close detection switch 13 is turned off, and the operation of the drive circuit 15 is stopped upon receiving the off signal from the open / close detection switch 13 to drive the drive motor. The rotation of 7 stops, and the rotation table 8 on which the ring 10 is placed stops. At the same time, in response to the OFF signal from the open / close detection switch 13, the melody generating circuit 16 operates and the melody is sounded from the speaker 11. Since the rotary table 8 is stopped when the cover 3 is opened, the ring 10 placed on the rotary table 8 should be taken out or replaced with another ring. You can

In this embodiment, the transparent glass 4 is attached to the cover 3, and the ring 10 on the rotary table 8 can be seen through the transparent glass 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the entire cover 3 may be made of a transparent member. Further, the rotation of the drive motor 7 is not limited to the one-direction rotation, and a motor that rotates in the normal or reverse direction, such as a motor for driving a rotary ornament of a table clock, may be used.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when the cover is closed, it can be seen that the gemstones placed on the rotation table inside the case are rotated through the cover. As a result, it is possible to give the luxury, fun, and unexpectedness of a show window of a department.
