Abstract

PURPOSE: To enhance the presence feel of designs by irradiation with back light and to enhance the decorative property in the dark by forming base bodies of jigsaw puzzles of transparent materials, such as synthetic resins or glass, through which videos are visible. CONSTITUTION: The jigsaw puzzles are formed by sticking transparent or light transmissive design printing sheets 3 printed with the designs using a transparent or light transmissive printing ink 4 to the transparent or light transmissive base bodies 2. Namely, individual sides 1 are composed of the base bodies 2, the design printing sheets 3 and the printing inks 4 and are formed transparent or light transmissive as a whole. The individual sides 1 are viewed therethrough with the light from the rear surface of the plane of fig. in the state of housing the jigsaw puzzles into a picture frame. As a result, the presence feel of the designs, such as night scenes of towns, which spontaneously emit light is enhanced and the decorative property in the dark is enhanced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the material and structure of a jigsaw puzzle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional jigsaw puzzle, a pattern is recognized by reflected light from the ink surface printed on the surface.

[0003]

A conventional jigsaw puzzle has a structure in which a sheet on which a design is printed is attached to a light-tight cardboard or corrugated cardboard. Therefore, the pattern is recognized by the reflected light from the ink surface printed on the surface. The problem of not being immersive when designing scenes that illuminate themselves, such as constellations, night scenes of the city, waterfront shining in the sunlight, lights spilling from windows in the dark, stained glass, etc. Had a point.

Further, the interior has a problem that it cannot be seen in the dark and lacks decorativeness.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to give a realistic and realistic sensation to a scene that is emitting light. The purpose is to provide a highly decorative jigsaw puzzle that can be seen in the dark.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention comprises a base body having a certain thickness and made of a material having light transparency or light transparency. The structure is such that a sheet made of a substance having a light transmitting property is attached, and a design is printed on the sheet with an ink having a light transmitting property or a light transmitting property.

As another method, in order to achieve the above object, the jigsaw puzzle according to the present invention comprises a base body having a certain thickness and made of a material having light transparency or light transparency. It was decided to print the design directly on the base body with a transparent ink.

By transmitting light to the jigsaw puzzle configured as in the present invention with a backlight (backlight), printed patterns and scenes can emit light by themselves.

[0009]

With the above structure, the characteristic of transmitting light to the fragmentary side of the jigsaw puzzle can be imparted, and the conventional pattern recognition method of the jigsaw puzzle, that is, the pattern is not recognized by the reflected light from the surface of the printing ink, The transmitted light from the backlight (back light) will be recognized, and the realism of the pattern of the scene that emits light will increase.

Further, by emitting colored light, decorativeness is enhanced.
In particular, the decorativeness in the darkness and darkness is significantly enhanced.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a general jigsaw puzzle using alphabetic C, +, and I-shaped blocks as fragmentary individual sides. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A / B of FIG. The figure shows a state in which a pattern printing sheet (3) printed with printing ink (4) is attached to a base body (2). The individual side (1) is an assembly of the base body (2) and the pattern print sheet (3). FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 both show a general jigsaw puzzle, and the individual side (1) is generally made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard and is impermeable to light.

3 and 4 are sectional views of the present invention. FIG.
Shows a state in which a transparent or light transmissive pattern printing sheet (3) having a pattern printed with a transparent or light transmissive printing ink (4) is attached to a transparent or light transmissive base body (2). ing. The individual side (1) is composed of the base body (2), the pattern printing sheet (3) and the printing ink (4) and is transparent or light transmissive as a whole.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which a pattern is directly printed on the transparent or light transmissive base body (2) with the transparent or light transmissive printing ink (4). The difference from FIG. 3 is that there is no design print sheet (3), and it can be manufactured at a lower cost than FIG. As in FIG. 3, the individual side (1) is composed of the base body (2) and the printing ink (4) and is transparent or light transmissive as a whole.

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention in a frame. Light from the back side of the paper (back light, backlight) allows the individual side (1) of the jigsaw puzzle to be seen through. The state of seeing through the watermark will be described below with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view of FIG. The light emitted from the light source using electric current travels as shown by the arrow (← in the figure) and travels upward through the reflecting mirror. The light source may be a large number of point light sources arranged or a rod-shaped one. The reflection need not be performed by a mirror, and the property of total internal reflection of light may be used, but a mirror is used as an example for the sake of simplicity. The reflecting mirror may be a mountain shape or a sloping surface. The point is to create back light. The light transmitted through the light-transmitting lower plate that supports both the individual side (1) and the adhesive plate of the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention that are bonded and fixed together and reaches the human eye through the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention. The transparent protective plate is for preventing the individual side (1) of the jigsaw puzzle from falling off from the frame, and for protecting the printing ink (4) on the individual side surface of the jigsaw puzzle from dirt and the like.

[0016] The jigsaw puzzle of the present invention (1) is adhered and fixed to the adhesive plate so that the jigsaw puzzle is separated from one another when the scene printed on the jigsaw becomes tired and replaced with a different scene. It is for fixing to one piece so as not to be dissipated in a single piece, or for stacking the jigsaw huzzles of the present invention in a number of different scenes for stock storage.

[0017]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

By constructing the fragmentary individual side with a transparent or light-transmissive substance, the transmitted light from the backlight (backlight) is recognized, and the pattern of the scene that emits light by itself is recognized. The realism is enhanced and the color is emitted to enhance the decorativeness. Especially, the decorativeness in the darkness or the darkness can be remarkably enhanced.
