Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a decorative card with an illumination function that can be applied to, for example, wedding invitations, Christmas cards, menus, picture books, etc. to increase interest.

In the case of Christmas cards and picture books in which pictures are an important element, various attempts have been made to add new functions to them.

For example, when a Christmas card or picture book is opened, part of the picture pops out from the page and becomes three-dimensional.

However, this level of support did not fully satisfy the needs of the increasingly diverse and highly stimulated world.

In addition, invitations for weddings, founding anniversaries, and other occasions have traditionally been relatively plain, but as these events become grander and more extravagant, invitations are becoming more and more appropriate. It is in.

This idea was made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and for example, it provides an illumination function to the focal point of a bi-fold display surface whose main element is a picture, and also provides an extended folded part and a light-emitting device formed on this folded part. By adopting a configuration in which the differently colored parts can be seen through the cutout, the lighting elements light up as soon as the display screen is opened, and the brilliant colors can be seen through the cutout, reinforcing the impression of these parts and doubling the interest. This is an attempt to provide a decorative card with a lighting function.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a sheet-like base body indicated by 1 as a whole includes a cover 2 that can be folded into two and an inner surface of this cover 2 (
It is composed of a mount 3 attached to one side (the surface shown in the figure) and a sheet-like body 4 that can be folded in half and further attached thereon.

As is clear from FIG. 3, which shows the sheet-like body 4 removed from FIG. 1, a rectangular notch 5 is formed in the mount 3.
A thin battery 6 such as a lithium battery is housed in this part.

A rectangular window 7 is formed at an appropriate position on the mount 3, and a small lighting element 8, such as a light emitting diode, is mounted inside the window 7.

A conductive foil 9a is disposed along the outer surface (back surface in the figure) of the mount 3 as shown by a broken line, and connects one terminal of the thin battery 6 and one end of the lighting element 8.

Furthermore, a conductive foil 9b is arranged in an inverted manner on the outer surface (back surface in the drawing) of the mount 3, and one end thereof is connected to the other end of the lighting element 8, and the other end is connected to the other end of the mount 3 as shown in the drawing. The left end portion is bent toward the inner surface (the surface shown in the figure) to constitute a fixed contact piece 10a.

Further, a conductive foil 9c is disposed on the inner surface (the surface shown in the figure) of the mount 3 in parallel with the conductive foil 9b, and one end thereof is connected to the other terminal of the thin battery 5, and the other end is connected to the mount 3. 3 is slightly bent toward the outer surface at the left end in the drawing to constitute a fixed contact piece 10b.

These conductive foils 9a to 9c have adhesive layers formed on their back surfaces in advance, and can be easily wired by adhering them to the mount 3.

In the sheet-like body 4 provided over the mount 3, a fixed part 4a corresponding to the right half in the figure is attached to the mount 3, and a rotating part 4b corresponding to the left hand part in the figure is free and rotatable. is in a state of

On the outer surface (back surface in the figure) of the rotating portion 4b, there is a rectangular metal movable contact piece 11 at the end thereof, as indicated by a broken line in FIG.

It is provided as shown.

This movable contact piece 11, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, etc.
This constitutes a thin switch 12 together with the fixed contact pieces 10a and 10b on the mount 3 side described above.

One end of the movable contact 11 is curved and bent toward the back side in FIG. 4, which shows the sheet-like body 4 folded in half, giving it elasticity and smoothing the surface of this part. I have to.

In this contact piece 11, when the bifold display body is closed, that is, when the sheet-like body 4 is folded (FIG. 4), the movable contact piece 11 is separated from the fixed contact pieces 10a and 10b, and the thin switch 12 is opened. The lighting elements do not light up because the

However, when this bifold display is opened, that is, when the sheet-like body 4 is flat (FIG. 1), the movable contact piece 11 short-circuits between the fixed contact pieces 10a and 10b, so the thin switch 12 closes and the illumination is turned off. The element lights up.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sheet-like body 4 is stacked along with the mount 3 and the cover 2, and the fixed part 13a of the other sheet-like body 13 which can be folded in half is fixed so that the movable part 4b can maintain a free state. By pasting the upper and lower ends and the left end as shown in the figure, it is fixed to the base body 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.

Therefore, the fixed part 13a of the sheet-like body 13 is absorbed into the base 1 as one body, and the movable part 13b becomes the folded part 14.

A cutout portion 15 of characters or figures is formed in this folded portion 14 .

In the illustrated embodiment, the notch 15 shows the characters 1 Aiyo.

Corresponding to this notch 15, a colored portion 16 having a color different from that of the folded portion 14 is provided on the side of the base 1, in this embodiment, on the fixing portion 13a of the sheet-like body 13, as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the portion 16 is colored crimson, reminiscent of the 1st day Maruyo.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
When superimposed on the image, the letters ``Aiyo'' appear in deep red and can be observed.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the sheet-like body 4 of the base 1
A card-shaped picture 17 is pasted on the fixed part 4a of the eighth
As shown in the figure, a greeting card 18 is inserted between the folded part 14 and the fixed part 13a to complete this decorative card.

This embodiment is for a case where it is configured as a wedding or invitation card, and the lighting element 8 is the uniding ring 19 in picture 17.
This area should be made transparent in advance.

Since this decorative card has the above structure,
When the base body 1 is folded in half, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable contact piece 11 of the thin switch 12 is a fixed contact piece 10a,
10b, and the lighting element 8 does not light up.

However, when the invitation card is opened by the recipient, the movable contact piece 11 contacts the fixed contact pieces 10a and 10b as shown in FIG. 2, and the thin switch 12 closes, so that the lighting element 8 lights up.

Therefore, you can tell at a glance that it is a wedding invitation because of the design of the exchange of Uniding Rings, which symbolizes a wedding, and the fact that the jewel part of Uniding Ring 19 shines red makes you invited to the wedding. It can create a heartwarming mood.

Looking further to the left, there is a notch 1 shaped like the letters 1 Aiyo.
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the greeting card 18 can be seen through, and when it is pulled out, a different colored part 16 is found in the notch 15.
When ``1 love'' appears, the words ``1 love'' appear in bright red, and this unexpected change can further excite the mood of expressing congratulations on the marriage.

Figure 9 shows another embodiment of this invention, greeting card 1.
A notch 20 is provided at the end of the folded portion 14 in order to facilitate the removal of the portion 8.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the folded part 14 is constructed using the sheet-like body 13, but this is constructed integrally with the cover 2 in a continuous and extended state, and is fixed. A portion corresponding to the portion 13a may be constructed separately and attached.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, the cover 2, its folded portion 14, and the sheet-like body 4 can be made from a single sheet of paper, and each part can be constructed by folding these sheets.

As a result, the structure of this embodiment can be further simplified and manufacturing can be facilitated.

The features of the decorative card of this invention are summarized and listed as follows.

1 This decorative card uses small and thin components such as a thin battery and a thin switch, so it is thin and lightweight as a whole and is suitable for mailing.

2 In addition, the thin switch has a simple structure and is robust, so it operates reliably and is highly reliable.

Further, the switch does not deform even under applied pressure, and no failure occurs.

3 By opening this bi-fold display, not only can a beautiful picture be seen, but the lighting element lights up the focal point of the picture, thereby diversifying the aesthetic appeal and dramatically improving it.

4 In particular, with this decorative card, by inserting a greeting card, you can confirm that there is a greeting card through the cutout of letters or figures provided in the folded part, and when you pull it out, the color of the cutout is bright. By changing to , the excitement can be further expanded.
