Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvements in portable boxes such as fishing tool boxes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a zinc sulfide-based phosphor is used as a phosphor.
Although (ZnS: Cu, Cl) exists, as shown by the brightness curve b in FIG. 1, since the light emission time (lifetime) is extremely short, for example,
It was used only for a limited purpose such as attaching the blinking cord of a fluorescent lamp to the tip.

However, in recent years, boron-based, alumina-based, and strontium-based phosphors have been developed as phosphors, and such phosphors emit light for 8 to 12 hours as shown by the brightness curve a in FIG. Since it has a long life, the use of phosphorescent materials is widespread, and it is becoming widely used in various fields such as road guidance lights, concrete tiles, backup of various signs at the time of power failure, clock dials, etc. There is.

Therefore, the present applicant also floats the phosphorescent material as a part of the application development of such a long-life phosphorescent material.
It was discovered that they are attached to the surface of fishing equipment such as fishing hooks, rubber tubes, fishing lines, and lures.

In this case, the boron-based, alumina-based, and strontium-based phosphors attached to the fishing tackle absorb solar energy under the sun to store light, and at the same time, emit the stored energy. Since it emits light, when a fishing hook, a float, or the like is thrown into the sea, the light can be used to effectively attract a fish or the like, and the float can be visually recognized easily.

[0006]

However, the phosphorescent substance attached to the surface of the fishing tackle described above can sufficiently store the light in the daytime when the sunlight is sufficient, but the phosphorescent energy can be stored during the twilight (in the evening). Since it will be released gradually, it is not possible to secure a sufficient amount of afterglow (afterglow brightness) at night, so it may be difficult to make a mechanism or it may not be possible to expect a sufficient inducing effect of fish etc. .

An object of the present invention is to provide a portable box which can solve the above problems.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable box containing a phosphorescent power source and a phosphorescent lamp.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the portable box having the above structure, a storage battery charged with electric energy obtained by a solar cell is used as a power source for exciting the phosphor.

Further, the present invention is also characterized in that the inner surface is formed so as to be able to reflect the light of the phosphorescent material exciting lamp or to emit light by irradiation of the phosphorescent material exciting lamp.

Here, a phosphorescent substance that is excited by a phosphorescent substance exciting lamp and is capable of emitting light for a long time is, for example, activated by a specific rare earth element (Eu, Pr, Nd, Dy) and boron. Substituted aluminate phosphor can be preferably used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIGS.
The portable box according to the present invention will be specifically described.

FIG. 2 shows the case where the portable box is the fishing tackle box A.

As shown in the figure, the fishing tackle box A comprises a box body 10 having an open top and a lid 11 attached to the box body 10 by a hinge so that the box body 10 can be opened and closed. Various fishing tackles 12 having a phosphor on the surface are stored. As the phosphor, a long-time emission type, for example, activated with a specific rare earth element (Eu, Pr, Nd, Dy),
An aluminate phosphor substituted with boron (trade name: Kiplus etc. manufactured by Next Eye Co., Ltd.) can be preferably used.

Next, a phosphor storage device exciting device B for exciting phosphors attached to various fishing tackle 12 will be described. The device B is substantially in the lid 11 as shown in FIGS. Built into.

That is, the phosphorescent device excitation device B is a solar cell 13 as a solar power source for converting sunlight into electric energy.
And a phosphorescent source excitation power source 14 including a storage battery that is charged by the power of the solar cell 13, and a phosphorescent source excitation lamp that emits light by the power from the phosphorescent source excitation power source 14 (for example, a white fluorescent tube, an ultraviolet radiation lamp). ) 15 and.

Further, the on / off switch 16 supplies electricity from the phosphorescent source exciting power source 14 to the phosphorescent substance exciting lamp 15.

Further, the fishing tackle box A is formed such that the inner surface thereof can reflect the light of the lamp for exciting the phosphor, or emits light by irradiation of the lamp for exciting the phosphor. For example, a white fluorescent tube is used as the phosphor excitation lamp 15, and a reflection plate that reflects the light of the white fluorescent tube is attached on the entire inner surface of the box body 10. As the reflection plate, an aluminum foil, a silver vapor deposition plate or the like can be used.

With such a reflector, the light from the white fluorescent tube, which is emitted from above, can be uniformly emitted to each of the various fishing tackles 12, and sufficient light can be accumulated.

Furthermore, when the white fluorescent tube is used, the inside of the portable box can be made bright, so that the tools can be taken out and stored, and other operations can be performed easily and reliably.

When an ultraviolet radiation lamp is used as the phosphor 15 for exciting the phosphor, the inner surface of the box body 10 is made of a material containing a fluorescent substance which emits light upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, or such a fluorescent substance is used.
