Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a decorative pendulum device, and in particular, a decorative member that is pivotally supported so as to be able to swing freely in one plane of the pendulum and to be able to hang down at all times is adapted to the pendulum movement of the pendulum. It is also characterized by the fact that it appears to move through the window of the furidama.

Some conventional decorative pendulum devices include pendulums with decorative designs, characters, etc. formed or printed on the front surface of the pendulum, but the designs, characters, etc. do not move at all. Further, in order to vary the patterns, characters, etc. as the viewing angle changes, the device is equipped with a pendulum with a lenticular lens superimposed on the printed portion of the designs, characters, etc. This device had a problem in that the printed portion stuck and could not be viewed visually when the viewing angle was changed.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a decorative pendulum device in which the decorative members of the pendulum change in a variety of ways according to the pendulum movement of the pendulum, and the pendulum's design, characters, and other decorative members are visible in all viewing angles. It is to be.

In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention uses a swinging ball that has at least one window formed on the front surface of the swinging ball, and a swinging ball that is pivotably supported on the back surface of the swinging ball at a position different from the center of gravity. a decorative member, and the decorative member is characterized in that it is moved in a pendulum motion together with a swinging ball while being kept hanging down at all times.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

The furidama 2 and the furidama 4 are integrally molded, and the furidama 4
A plurality of windows 6 are formed in the window. The window portion 6 is passed through from the front side to the back side of the swinging ball 4, and the decorative member 8 behind the swinging ball 4 can be visually observed through the window portion 6.

The decorative member 8 is swingably supported on a support shaft 10 protruding from the back surface of the swinging ball 4, and the front surface 8 of the decorative member 8
Six colored portions 8b are colored radially and at equal intervals on a. A weight 1 is attached to the back surface 8c of the decorative member 8.
2 is fixed, and the center of gravity of the decorative member 8 is set to be offset from the center of swing of the decorative member 8.

The first embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above,
Next, the operation of the first implementation column will be explained based on FIG.

The swing ball 4 is moved in a pendulum motion by a well-known pendulum driving device, and FIG. 4a shows a state in which the swing ball 4 is moved in a pendulum motion to the left in the figure. In this state, the swinging ball 4 is tilted to the right with respect to the gravity direction, but the decoration member 8 maintains a state in which the gravity direction at the center of swing and the gravity direction at the gravity center of the decoration member 8 are aligned on the same straight line. There is. The window portion 6 of the swinging ball 4 and the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 are positioned in a superposed state. Therefore, the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 can be seen through the window portion 6 of the swinging ball 4.

FIG. 4b shows a state in which the swinging ball 4 is located approximately at the center of its pendulum motion. In this state, the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 and the window portion 6 of the swinging ball 4 do not overlap, so the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 cannot be seen from the window portion 6.

FIG. 4c shows a state in which the swinging ball 4 has moved to the right in the figure in a pendulum motion, and the swinging ball 4 is tilted to the left with respect to the direction of gravity. However, the center of swing and the center of gravity of the decorative member 8 are located on the same gravity direction line, and the window portion 6 of the swinging ball 4 and the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 overlap. the result,
The colored part 8b of the decorative member 8 can be seen through the window part 6 of the swinging ball 4.

In this manner, according to the first embodiment, when the swinging ball 4 makes a well-known pendulum movement and reaches a predetermined swinging angle position, the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 is drawn from the window 6 of the swinging ball 4. I can see it. When the swing ball 4 is located at a position different from the predetermined swing angle position, the colored portion 8b of the decorative member 8 cannot be seen. During this pendulum movement, a colored part 8b (design,
It is possible to provide a decorative pendulum device with a wide variety of characters by appearing and disappearing (letters, etc.).

5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention,
Components that are the same as those in the first embodiment are given the same numbers and detailed explanations will be omitted.

A decorative member 8 is swingably supported on the front surface of the swinging ball 4, and the decorative member 8 is housed inside a cover 20 attached to the front surface of the swinging ball 4. cover 20
As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of substantially V-shaped windows 22 are formed radially and at equal intervals, and the decorative member 8 can be seen through the windows 22. Further, a spiral line 21 is printed on the front surface 8a of the decorative member 8.

The second embodiment is configured as described above, and its operation will be explained next.

The swinging ball 4 makes a well-known pendulum movement as in the first embodiment, and the decorative member 8 is held so that the center of swing and the center of gravity of the decorative member 8 are always located on the same straight line in the direction of gravity, as described above. ing. As a result, the decorative member 8 appears to be swinging relative to the swinging ball 4, and the spiral line 21 of the decorative member 8 is always visible from the window portion 22. Therefore, during the pendulum motion of the swinging ball 4, the window portion 22 of the swinging ball 4
The line pattern appears to be rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

Note that the shape of the window 6 of the swinging ball 4 and the window 22 of the cover 20 in the illustrated embodiment of the present invention may be other shapes than those illustrated. Further, although the windows 6 and 22 in the illustrated embodiment are through holes, the windows 6 and 22 of the swinging ball 4 or the cover 20 may be made of a transparent member. For example, by forming the cover 20 from a transparent member and coloring the front surface of the cover 20 opaquely except for the intricately shaped pattern portion, a complexly shaped window can be easily formed. Furthermore, the strength of the areas around the windows 4 and 22 will not be weakened.

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, the decorative member that is swingably supported on one plane of the swing ball and that moves in a pendulum manner together with the swing ball while being kept hanging down at all times is provided at the window of the swing ball. Since the pendulum appears to move from the window, or is visible or hidden from the window, it is possible to provide a decorative pendulum device with a wide variety of variations.
