[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Today, it has been practiced to provide a light-emitting body on a decorative article such as a figurine and enhance the decoration effect by the light emitted from the light-emitting body. For example, it is known that a light that illuminates a part of an ornament is arranged to obtain a decorative effect like a spotlight. It is also known that the figurine is made of a hollow translucent body, and the light is coordinated inside the figurine so that the entire figurine shines, or the light is coordinated inside the animal figurine. A device that emits light from the mouth and eyes has also been proposed (Shokai 58-13607). Furthermore, it has been proposed that a large number of air bubbles that bend and reflect light are contained inside a transparent body so that light can be reflected in multiple directions not only from the outer surface of the transparent body but also from its inner surface (actually). (Kaisho 58-163299). However, it is undeniable that such conventional ornaments are less surprising and lacking in fun.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the invention of the present application intends to provide an ornamental article which can have an unexpected ornamental effect by light by using two surfaces such as front and rear of a transparent body. Furthermore, it is also possible to effectively display a message such as letters or figures under the decoration of light by using the front and back surfaces.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above problems by providing a decorative article such as a figurine including a light-emitting body 5 characterized by the following configuration. An ornament such as a figurine provided with the light-emitting body 5 of the present invention has a transparent body 3 arranged at least in a part thereof, and the transparent body has two surfaces 31 and 32 arranged facing each other such as front and rear. However, one surface 32 of these two surfaces has unevenness 33 that can reflect light such as a thin groove, and the other surface 31 is formed as a flat surface with less unevenness than the one surface 32, and The light-emitting body 5 is arranged so that light can pass between the surfaces. Further, as the light emitting body 5, a decorative article using an electroluminescent light is provided.

In the present invention, the term “transparent body” includes not only a completely transparent body but also a semitransparent body capable of conducting light. In addition, ornaments are items that can have decorative effects, such as figurines, winning cups, trophies, and shields. Furthermore, the other surface 31 need only be flat as compared with the one surface 32, and need not be a completely smooth surface.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an ornament according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a light emitter used in the same embodiment.

The figurine of this embodiment has a main body 1 including a base portion 2 and a transparent body 3, a switch 4 provided on the base portion, and a light emitting body 5 provided inside the main body 1.

The base 2 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and the transparent body 3 is made of glass or transparent synthetic resin and fixed to the upper surface of the base 2. The base 2 has a slightly recessed center, and a sheet-shaped light-emitting body 5 is placed and fixed in the recessed portion. The upper surface of the light emitting body 5 emits light, and the bottom surface of the transparent body 3 is in contact with the upper surface.

The transparent body 3 has a plate shape, a front surface 31 thereof has a flat surface, and a rear surface 32 thereof has a groove-shaped recess 33. In this embodiment, the concave portion 33 has the letter "L 0VE", but it can have another pattern.

The light emitter 5 is connected to a power source (not shown) in the base 2 via a switch 4 provided in the base 2, and emits light when the switch is closed. As the light emitting body 5, an appropriate light emitting body such as a light bulb can be selected and used, but in this embodiment, an electroluminescent light is used. This electroluminescent light emits light when a voltage is applied to the light-emitting layer (phosphor powder) to excite electrons in the high electric field portion of the phosphor body and the excited electrons return to the ground (stable) state. This phenomenon is used, and it emits light twice in one cycle when an AC voltage is applied, and it has the advantages that it does not generate heat and it can be made into an extremely thin sheet. By using a DC / AC inverter, a DC power source can be used, and various colors such as blue-green, green, white, yellow-green, and yellow can be selected as the emission color. It is also possible to arrange these several colors in one luminous body. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the front surface electrode 52 is arranged on the front surface side of the light emitting layer 51, and the insulating layer 53 and the rear surface electrode 54 are arranged on the rear surface side, respectively, and these are arranged on the moisture absorption film 55 and the front surface. The sheet-shaped light emitting body 5 covered with the film 56 is used. Reference numerals 52a and 54a denote lead wires, and 52b denotes a current collecting band. The plane shape can be changed to an appropriate shape other than a rectangular shape, or can be curved and arranged in a wavy shape. Is.

In this embodiment, the luminous body 5 is arranged over substantially the entire bottom surface of the transparent body 3, and by making it emit light, the light conducts in the transparent body 3 and The color of the light-emitting body 5 (for example, green) is dimly and faintly emitted. Then, the light is reflected by the concave portion 33 on the rear surface 32 of the transparent body 3, and the reflection causes the letters "LOLO" to shine on the flat front surface 31 so as to shine. Reference numeral 34 in the figure indicates a character "LOLO" by the light that appears on the front surface. Even more surprisingly, the letters “LOLO” 34 due to the light that appeared on the front surface 31 look brighter than the recesses on the rear surface 32 that are directly engraved with the letters “LOLO”. The light "LOLO" 34 on a flat front surface can give the viewer a very surprising and strange feeling.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cup according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the same embodiment.

In this embodiment, the cup has a main body 11 including a base portion 12, a support column 13, and a transparent body 14, and a light emitting body 15 provided inside the main body 11.

The base 12 and the columns 13 are made of metal or synthetic resin, and the transparent body 14 is made of glass or transparent synthetic resin and fixed to the upper ends of the columns 13. The upper end of the column 13 is slightly recessed in the center, and a sheet-shaped light emitting body 15 is placed in the recessed portion. The upper surface of the light-emitting body 15 emits light, and the bottom portion of the transparent body 14 is in contact with the upper surface.

The structure for causing the light emitting body 15 to emit light is provided inside the base portion 12 and the support column 13. This structure will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The light emitter 15 is connected to the power supply 24 via the timer 21 and the switch 23. The switch 23 is connected to a sensing means 24 for sensing sounds such as applause and a control means 25 for instructing opening / closing of the switch based on the sensing of the sensing means 24. The sensing means 24 may be a microphone or the like that expresses a voice as a change in current, and the control means may be a switch that opens or closes the switch 23 based on the change in current. You can In the simplest case, the switch 23 may be closed while the sound is being sensed, and the switch 23 may be opened when the sound is not being sensed. To do. In addition, in this embodiment, since the timer 21 that closes the switch 23 after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) after the energization is provided, the light emitting body 2 is turned off after the lapse of the predetermined time, and the sound is sensed again. It emits light, and then flashes repeatedly. The timer 21 can of course be incorporated in the control means, or it may be in a state of continuously emitting light while sensing sound without using the timer. Reference numeral 26 denotes a main switch. When the main switch is opened, no light is emitted even if a sound is emitted. Since the cup of this example emits light by clapping at the award ceremony, etc., it is possible to raise the sense of unity between the award winners and the people applauding and perform a more brilliant award ceremony. it can.

As the light-emitting body 15, an appropriate light-emitting body can be selected and used. In this embodiment, the electroluminescent light described above is used. Although the light-emitting body is brought into contact with the transparent body in these examples, it is not always necessary to make contact therewith, and may be arranged at a distance as long as the light-emitting body can pass light.

The transparent body 14 is made of glass or transparent synthetic resin and has a bowl shape. A large number of fine linear grooves 42 are formed on the inner peripheral surface 41 of the transparent body 14, while the outer peripheral surface 43 forms a flat surface and is largely curved as a whole. When the light-emitting body 15 arranged on the bottom surface emits light, the entire transparent body 14 shines lightly. At the same time, since many fine linear grooves 42 are formed on the inner peripheral surface, the groove pattern 44 shines on the flat surface of the outer peripheral surface 43 to create a unique beauty. It

The invention of the present application can be carried out by appropriately modifying it in addition to the above-described embodiment. For example, a transparent body 14 is used for a name plate of a winning trophy, etc. The name of the tournament may be highlighted.
