Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] For example, this invention normally looks like a painting or still photograph, but when a person approaches, the painting or photograph disappears and becomes mirror-like, and when the person moves away, it returns to its original state. Or, conversely, it usually has a mirror-like surface, but when a person approaches it, it changes to a picture or photograph, etc.
It concerns a mirror that changes to its original mirror surface when a person leaves.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

In Figure 1, 1 is a picture frame made of metal, plastic, wood, etc., 2 is a half mirror (also known as a magic mirror) that has a mirror surface when viewed from the bright side, and the opposite side is visible when viewed from the dark side, and 3 is a transparent film, etc. 4 is a holding plate made of transparent plate glass or plastic, 5 is a sealed lighting room, 6 is an internal lighting device such as a fluorescent light installed in the lighting room, 7 is a transparent material displaying a picture or photograph, etc. 8 is a power supply unit consisting of a transformer T, relay R, fuse F, etc. shown in Figures 2 to 4; 8 is an external lighting device such as a fluorescent light installed outside the lighting room; 9 is an external lighting device. The manual switch 10 is a switch such as a mud switch or a charging switch, and is used to turn on and off the internal lighting device 6 and the external lighting device 8 in opposite directions.

Internal lighting 6, external lighting 8, power supply section 7, switch 10
, the manual switch 9 is wired as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the movable contact of the manual switch 9 is turned to the A contact side, only the external lighting device 8 lights up, and the internal lighting device 6 does not light up, regardless of whether the switch 10 is on or off.

Therefore, the half mirror 2 is illuminated from the outside by the turned on external lighting fixture 8 and becomes bright, and the inside of the lighting room 5 becomes dark, so the half mirror 2 becomes mirror-like when viewed from the outside.
It looks like a normal mirror.

As shown in Fig. 3, when the movable contact of the manual switch 9 is turned to the B contact side and the switch 10 is turned off (without stepping on the mud switch), no current flows to the excitation coil L of the relay R and the internal lighting 6 is turned off. Since the current continues to flow, the lighting fixture 6 lights up, but since no current flows to the external lighting fixture 8, it goes out.

Therefore, the inside of the illumination room 5 is brighter than the outside of the half mirror 2, so the pictures, photographs, characters, etc. C displayed on the transparent material 3 are illuminated from behind and onto the half mirror 2, and from the outside of the half mirror 2. When you look at it, it looks like a picture or photo frame, as shown in Figure 1 (a).

As shown in Figure 4, the movable contact of the manual switch 9 can be left as it is.
(contact B side), and when switch 10 is turned on (with the mud switch depressed), current flows through the excitation coil L of relay R, activating relay R, and switching the contact, which switches the internal lighting. No current flows through 6, and instead current flows through external lighting device 8.

Therefore, the internal lighting device 6 is turned off and the external lighting chamber 8 is turned on.

As a result, the inside of the lighting fixture 5 becomes dark and the outside of the half mirror 2 becomes bright, so the half mirror 2
When viewed from the outside, it has a mirror-like surface, similar to what is called a normal mirror.

Therefore, if you want to hang the mirror of the present invention on a wall, etc., you can place the mud switch 10 on the floor in front of the mirror. The picture, photograph, text, etc. displayed in 3 is illuminated by the half mirror 2 and looks like an illuminated frame, and when a person approaches the picture, photograph, etc. and steps on the switch 10 to get a good look at the picture, photograph, etc. As shown in Figure 4, the picture or photo disappears and Half Mirror 2 turns into a mirror.

If the switch 10 is a photoelectric switch, it may be mounted on the ceiling or the like.

Note that the switch 9 and the presser plate 4 may be omitted depending on the case.

When the presser plate 4 is removed, a transparent material is adhered to the barf mirror using tape, adhesive, or the like.

The light-transmitting material 3 may be something like a photographic film, a transparent acrylic plate, or the like.

Since the present invention is diagonally upward, if it is installed on the wall of the entrance, washroom, toilet, bathroom, etc. of a hotel or inn, it will normally illuminate pictures, photographs, letters, etc. If you approach the picture or photograph to look at it and step on the switch, it will turn into a mirror, and conversely, when you move away from it and the switch is released, it will change to the original picture or photograph, which can be extremely strange to people who see it for the first time. Gives feel and interest.

Therefore, if this is used as an advertising medium, the advertising effect will be significant.

Also, the explanation so far has been about the case where a picture or photograph is normally illuminated and when you get close to it, it becomes a mirror.
This may be reversed so that pictures, photographs, etc., are illuminated by the mirror when a person approaches, and to do this, the connections in Figures 2 to 4 may be changed accordingly.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Figure 1 shows an example of a mirror according to the present invention, where A is a front view, the mouth is a vertical side view, and Figures 2 to 4 are connections for explaining the operation of the internal lighting fixture and external lighting fixture in the present invention. It is a diagram. 1 is a picture frame, 2 is a half mirror, 13 is a translucent material, 5 is a lighting room, 6 is an internal lighting device, 8 is an external lighting device, 9 is a manual switch, and 10 is a switch.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A half mirror, a translucent material on which pictures, photographs, etc. are displayed and placed on the back side of the half mirror, an internal lighting device that illuminates from behind the translucent material, and an external lighting device that illuminates from outside the half mirror. The switch, external lighting device, and internal lighting device are composed of a switch, an external lighting device, and an internal lighting device.When a person approaches the half mirror, one of the external lighting device and the internal lighting device turns on and the other turns off. When you move away from the half mirror, the external and internal lighting fixtures are wired so that one is on and the other is off, contrary to the previous time, and when the half mirror is turned on, the external lighting fixture is turned on and the internal lighting fixture is turned off. A mirror whose surface becomes mirror-like when it is illuminated by a light source, and when the external lighting device is turned off and the internal lighting is turned on, the internal lighting device illuminates a picture or photograph made of translucent material.
