Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a dynamic and highly decorative display. CONSTITUTION:Transparent liquid 4 is filled in a transparent display box 1. Many reflecting small pieces 6 which are heavier in gravity than the liquid 4 are filled in the box 1. The air is diffused by an air pump 15 from the bottom of the box 1 to move the pieces 6 in the liquid 4. The air is sucked from an are reservoir 5 at the upper part of the box 1 to be circulated to the pump 15. The pieces 6 in the box 1 are irradiated with a light from a fluorescent lamp 19 provided at the side of the box 1.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display for decoration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is one in which an aluminum vapor deposition film called an aurora film or a rainbow film is submerged in water contained in a transparent container so that light reflection from the aluminum vapor deposition film can be enjoyed.

[0003]

However, the conventional one has a problem that the aluminum vapor deposition film is simply submerged in water, and dynamic decorativeness is poor. The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of such conventional techniques, and an object of the present invention is to provide a decorative display in which dynamic decorative properties can be enjoyed.

[0004]

To achieve this object, the decorative display according to the present invention has a transparent display box in which a transparent liquid is placed, and a large number of reflective particles having a specific gravity larger than that of the transparent liquid are placed in the display box. In the display box, air is blown from the bottom of the display box by an air pump to move the reflective pieces in a transparent liquid, and the air is sucked from the air reservoir at the top of the closed display box and circulated to the air pump. A fluorescent lamp for irradiating the reflecting piece with light is provided on the side of the display box.

[0005]

When air is blown into the display box from the bottom by the air pump, a large number of reflecting pieces randomly move in the transparent liquid, and the light emitted from the fluorescent lamp is reflected by the reflecting pieces, and the reflecting pieces shine.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a decorative display according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view, FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view, and FIG. 4 is a horizontal sectional view.

In these figures, a transparent display box 1 formed in a rectangular shape having a vertically long and horizontal cross section is made of a transparent synthetic resin material such as a transparent acrylic plate, and is provided at the bottom of the display box 1. Is attached with inclined plates 2 and 2 which obliquely rise from the bottom center to both inner side surfaces. On the front surface of the lower corner of the display box 1, blind plates 3 and 3 are provided to cover the inclined plates 2 and 2.
Is pasted.

In the display box 1, for example, white kerosene as a transparent liquid 4 is enclosed so that an air reservoir 5 can be formed at the top. In this transparent liquid 4, a large number of small pieces of aluminum vapor-deposited film called an aurora film or a rainbow film are contained as reflective small pieces 6. The reflection piece 6 has a specific gravity larger than that of the transparent liquid 4, and is sunk at the bottom of the box when air is not blown into the display box 1. A small piece of metal foil may be used as the reflective piece 6.

Further, an air discharge pipe 7 is attached to the center of the bottom of the display box 1 where the inclined plates 2 and 2 are lowered, and the bottom plate is penetrated from the outside to attach an air reservoir 5 to the box upper plate. An air suction pipe 8 is attached so as to penetrate therethrough.

The back surface of the display box 1 is covered with a light shielding material 9 so that the reflected light from the reflective small piece can effectively appear on the front surface of the display box 1. The light-shielding material 9 can be configured by sticking a black acrylic plate on the back surface of the display box or by applying a diffused black paint. It should be noted that the display box may be viewed in the front-rear direction without providing the light shielding material 9.

Next, the structure of the outer case 10 in which the display box 1 is housed will be described. The outer case 10 made of stainless steel includes a skirt portion 11, a frame body 12, and a lid body 13. A caster 14 is attached to the skirt portion 11 so as to project in a mountain shape in the front-rear direction, and the lower surface portion allows the ornamental display to be moved. An air pump 15 connected to the display box 1 is provided on the bottom plate in the skirt portion 11. Display box 1 and air pump 1
The connection state of No. 5 will be described later.

Frame 1 for holding the display box 1
Numeral 2 is integrally provided on both sides of the upper portion of the skirt portion 11, and a window portion 16 for exposing the display box 1 to the outside is provided between the left and right frame bodies 12. An intermediate plate 17 on which the display box 1 is placed is horizontally attached between the skirt portion 11 and the frame body 12.

Support plates 18 are attached in the vertical direction at the front and rear positions in the opposing openings of the frame body 12,
These support plates 18 hold the four corners of the display box 1 excluding the side surfaces.

Further, in the left and right frame bodies 12, there are provided straight tube fluorescent lamps 19 for illuminating the inside of the box 1 from the side surfaces of the display box 1. In these fluorescent lamps 19, the socket portion 20 is fixed to the inner wall of the frame by a stopper member 21, and the fluorescent lamps 19 in the frame body 12 are
A reflection plate 22 is vertically attached to the back of the. Reference numeral 23 in the figure denotes a mounting plate for fixing the lid 13 to the upper portion of the frame.

The lid 13 is formed in a rectangular shape with an open bottom, and covers the upper portions of the left and right frames 12. In this state, the air reservoir 5 on the upper part of the display box 1 is covered, and the cover body 13 is screwed into the female screw portion formed on the mounting plate 23 on the frame 12 side with the decorative screw 24 inserted from the left and right upper portions. Therefore, it is fixed to the upper part of the frame.

Next, the connection state of the display box 1 and the air pump 15 will be described with reference to FIG. The discharge port of the air pump 15 is connected to the air discharge pipe 7 on the display box 1 side by a discharge hose 25. Discharge hose 25 to the air pump 15 side Display box 1
In order to prevent the transparent liquid 4 inside from wrapping around, a position higher than the air reservoir 5 of the display box 1 is bypassed and then connected to the display box 1 side. The air suction pipe 8 on the display box 1 side is connected to the suction port of the air pump 15 by a suction hose 26.

Next, the operation of the decorative display thus constructed will be described. In this decorative display, when the air pump 15 is driven and the air 27 is discharged from the air discharge pipe 7 to the transparent liquid 4 in the display box 1, the reflective small piece 6 is blown up into the transparent liquid 4 and moves up and down. To do. At this time, the light emitted from the left and right fluorescent lamps 19 into the display box 1 hits a large number of small reflective pieces 6 and is reflected, so that the light from the small reflective pieces 6 moving in the display box 1 can be enjoyed.

[0018]

According to the decorative display of the present invention, a large number of small reflective pieces are put in a display box filled with a transparent liquid, and air is blown into the display box to move the small reflective pieces randomly. Since it illuminates the fluorescent lamp from the above, it is possible to enjoy the reflection of light from the reflective small pieces that move in the display box, and to provide a dynamic and decorative display.
