Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent a portrait from being changed with time by a method wherein plating is applied to a portrait plate represented by etching on the surface of a metal plate. CONSTITUTION: The necessary portion of a developed monochrome photography is cut off as a portrait. The portrait is converted to a positive film for etching so as to obtain a halftone reversal negative film. The film is brought into close contact with a stainless steel plate, on which photosensitive solution for etching is applied. By radiating ultraviolet rays with a UV lamp on the film from above, the solution on the stainless steel plate is exposed. The stainless steel plate is immersed in etching solution for several minutes so as to etch the portrait on the stainless steel plate. After that, 24K plating is applied on the stainless steel plate. Since a portrait plate 1 is plated, the plate can be prevented from discoloring, which may occur in the photograph as secular change.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic ornament and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a photographic ornament and a method for producing the same, which are excellent in preservability and rich in decorativeness.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems] Photographs of portraits are being taken in commemoration of weddings and school graduation. Photos are discolored due to aging under normal storage conditions, and even commemorative photos cannot be maintained at the time they were taken. Also, since the commemorative photo is usually attached to the backing paper, there are few chances to see it unless it is so good, and it is a hesitant to show it on purpose while showing it to others. .

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a photographic ornament that does not or does not easily deteriorate over time and a method of manufacturing the same. Another object of the present invention is to provide a photographic ornament that can be placed as an ornament and a method for manufacturing the same.

[0004]

The structure of the invention taken to achieve the above object is as follows. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a photographic ornament, which comprises a portrait photographic plate represented by etching on the surface of a metal plate, and a base supporting the portrait photographic plate. The portrait photographic plate is a photographic ornament, which is plated.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a photographic ornament, which includes a portrait photographic plate which is formed by etching on a surface of a metal plate and the portrait photographic plate. A ornamental stand having a see-through property, and the portrait photographic plate is a photographic ornament that is plated.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a photo ornamental ornament, which comprises a step of displaying a portrait photograph by etching on the surface of a metal plate, and a metal plate representing the portrait photograph is plated. A method of manufacturing a photographic ornament, comprising a step of processing, and a step of hermetically sealing and incorporating the plated metal plate in a transparent synthetic resin or glass.

As the metal plate used in the present invention, various metal plates such as a copper plate, a steel plate, a stainless plate, an aluminum plate and a zinc plate are used. Thickness is 1.0-1.5m
The thing of about m is used. As the etching method, a known method may be used in addition to the method using ultraviolet rays shown in the examples. A well-known method is also adopted for the plating process. The plating thickness is preferably 0.2 μm or more from the viewpoint of storage. Also, as the plating material,
Examples include gold, silver, copper, and platinum. As the material for the base, natural stone, artificial marble, metal, synthetic resin, glass, etc. are used.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a photographic ornament according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a portrait photograph plate, and a portrait 2 is shown by etching on the surface of a stainless steel plate which is a metal plate. The portrait photograph board 1 is gold-plated. A base 3 made of glass is attached to the lower portion of the portrait photo board 1 so that it can be placed as an ornament.

FIG. 2 is a second photo ornamental ornament according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the embodiment of FIG.
FIG. In the case of the first embodiment, the portrait photograph board 1
In contrast to the base 3 provided below, the portrait photographic plate 1 of the second embodiment is different in that it is built-in and sealed in a table 4 made of a transparent acrylic resin. ing. Since the portrait photo board 1 is thus internally sealed, the pressed flower 5 and other souvenirs can be enclosed at the same time when the portrait photo board 1 is enclosed, which is suitable as a commemorative ornament. The structure of the other parts is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the explanation thereof is omitted.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of a method for manufacturing an ornament according to the present invention. This embodiment shows a method of manufacturing the figurine shown in FIG. 2, which is manufactured by the following steps. Step 1 Cut out the necessary parts of the developed monochrome photograph as a portrait photograph. Step 2 Replace portrait image with positive film for etching to make halftone reversal negative film. (Halftone dot 10
(0 line to 175 line) Step 3 A stainless plate is coated with an etching photosensitive solution or an etching film, and then the film obtained in Step 2 is adhered to the stainless plate. Step 4 After irradiating ultraviolet rays from the top of the film with a UV lamp and exposing it to the stainless steel plate (UV exposure),
After being immersed in a solution that corrodes a stainless steel plate for several minutes, a portrait photograph is etched on the stainless steel plate, and then the stainless steel plate is plated with 24K. Step 5 The acrylic resin is poured into the base mold to a height of about ½, and once solidified, the stainless plate and the pressed flower obtained in Step 4 are placed on the acrylic resin. Step 6 Acrylic resin is poured from the plated stainless steel plate to the upper end of the mold to form a base. Step 7 Remove the acrylic resin block from the mold and polish the surface to obtain a decoration. If the base is provided under the stainless steel plate obtained in step 4, the figurine shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment,
Many variations are possible within the scope of the claims.

[0011]

The present invention having the above-mentioned structure has the following effects. (1) Since the portrait photograph plate, which is a portrait photograph etched on a metal plate, is plated, it can be prevented from discoloring due to aging as shown in the photograph. (2) The portrait photographic plate is plated, and is supported by the base or built-in and hermetically sealed in the transparent pedestal, so it can be placed as a figurine at an appropriate location.
Therefore, it can be naturally and casually decorated as a tableware.
