Background art

[0002] Music box devices and speaker devices are known as sounding devices. Generally, the music box device transmits the vibration of the music box body to a case surrounding the music box body and amplifies the sound to produce a loud sound. In general, a speaker device includes a coil, a magnet, and a sound source section that also generates power, and a conical diaphragm formed of paper, plastic, or the like.

[0003] In a music box device, a sound-resonating portion is generally in a box shape or a cylindrical shape such as a jewelry box. On the other hand, there are also known music box devices of unique house shapes, dolls and various character types. These are cases in which a case is attached under a unique shape such as a doll, or a case is placed in a character, and the case becomes a resonating body and amplifies sound vibrations, producing loud sounds. Like! /

[0004] However, in a music box device that generates sound by playing a musical scale plate only by using a case as a resonator, the sound volume tends to be insufficient for normal listening by a person. For this reason, there has been conventionally known a music box device in which a cone is fixed to a sound source via a vibrating rod to amplify the sound and generate a sound with a cone force (for example, see Patent Document 1). A conventional music box device can expand and radiate sound without using special electrical devices.

[0005] On the other hand, in a conventional speaker device, the diaphragm of the speaker is uniform and has a poor appearance. In order to show the appearance better, the speaker diaphragm is often covered with a coarse mesh cloth or net, and is often prevented from being directly seen. . BACKGROUND ART In the field of music box devices, there is known a music box device provided with a music box in a container such as a pot or a basket for utilizing artificial flowers in order to improve appearance (for example, see Patent Document 2).

The rotating drum 3 is attached to a base 5 as a frame via a support member 4, and a large number of pins 6 for playing a melody are erected on the outer periphery of the rotating drum 3. A subbar gear or the like is attached to the input end of the main shaft of the rotating drum 3, and a spring 7 is arranged. The spring 7 is provided with a pinion gear 8 which is provided so as to rotate in conjunction with the center shaft side, and a subbar gear and the pinion gear 8 are engaged. In the mainspring 7, the rotation energy of the rotating drum 3 is stored by the rotation of the handle 9.

On the other hand, a musical scale plate 10 having a comb-teeth-shaped tip is attached to the main body frame 11 of the music box device 1 so as to face the outer periphery of the rotating drum 3. When the rotating drum 3 starts rotating due to the accumulated energy of the mainspring 7, the pins 6 of the rotating drum 3 flip the comb-shaped plate-like tips of the musical scale plate 10 one after another to make a sound. The mechanism is covered by a cover 17 to ensure safety.

Note that the music box device 1 is an electronic music box (it is possible to apply an electronic music box sounding mechanism.

Next, the main part of the music box device 1 of the present invention will be described.

The sound generated from the scale plate 10 as a sound source is a force transmitted to the main body frame 11 as vibration energy. The vibration of the main body frame 11 alone has a relatively low volume as a sound appealing to human hearing. Also, depending on the material of the main body frame 11 itself, the sound quality tends to be mechanical and inorganic, and it is sometimes difficult to feel comfort.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plate-shaped paper as a paper member, which is an article, is detachably connected to the main body frame 11, and vibration energy is transmitted to the plate-shaped paper via a vibration medium, and the plate-shaped paper is The sound is emitted by vibrating, the volume is increased, and the effect of playing soft and comfortable sound is exhibited.

To realize the above configuration, a metal wire as a vibration medium, for example, a wire material, a piano wire, etc. One end of the holding stand 12 formed by is fixed to the upper surface of the main body frame 11 with the screw 13. The other end of the holding stand 12 is bifurcated, and the tip of the holding stand 12 is bent into a hook shape to form a hook portion 15. A receiving portion 16 is formed at a position slightly below the intermediate portion of the holding stand 12, and the sheet-like paper 14 is bent and held between the hook portion 15 and the receiving portion 16 in a predetermined state and held. ing.

[0049] By setting the distance between the hook portion 15 on the upper end side and the receiving portion 16 on the lower end side of the holding stand 12 to an appropriate size, it is possible to optimally determine the half curvature of curvature of the sheet of paper 14. Further, by making the receiving portion 16 slidable with respect to the holding stand 12, the plate-shaped paper 14 can be bent to an arbitrary radius of curvature (bending change means), and a volume adjusting function can be achieved. That is, if the radius of curvature of the sheet of paper 14 can be changed, the volume generated from the sound source can be adjusted appropriately.

The surface of the plate-like paper 14 intersects (orthogonal: vertical direction) with respect to the surface (horizontal direction) of the scale plate 10 and intersects with the direction in which the slits of the scale plate 10 are formed (orthogonal: (In the direction along the center axis of the drum 3). Therefore, the vibration of the scale plate 10 is transmitted reliably.

[0051] The plate-shaped paper 14 will be described.

[0052] As the plate-like paper 14, Western paper or Japanese paper is used. In particular, in the case of Japanese paper, it is preferable to use Japanese paper made of bast fiber such as ginseng, mulberry, banana, kenaf, and pure, which has good sound. Japanese paper using these bast fibers has the effect of transmitting sound and producing soft and comfortable sound when transmitted. Note that even paper can produce a much softer sound than a vibrating member such as metal or plastic.

[0053] Since the sheet-like paper 14 can be freely removed, preparing a plurality of types of sheet-like paper 14 on which photographs and pictures of landscapes, plants, birds, and the like are printed, the surrounding atmosphere, season, etc. It can be used interchangeably according to various scenes or as an original decoration. Also, by preparing a plurality of types of plate-shaped paper 14 on which torn pictures, pressed flowers, and the like are applied, it is possible to create value as an ornament or a room interior. Further, aroma oil, a fragrance, or the like may be impregnated in the sheet of paper 14 so that a synergistic effect with the sense of smell can be obtained. It can also be used as a store display or restaurant table menu.

Note that it is also possible to illuminate the plate-shaped paper 14 by providing illumination means. Using lighting equipment Thereby, for example, soft light can be obtained through Japanese paper, and the value as a decorative article can be further enhanced.

Further, by adding or coating titanium oxide on the sheet-like paper 14 or the holding stand 12 as an article, the color can be beautifully finished, and the deodorizing effect of the photocatalyst can be expected. Furthermore, a music box device 1 is placed at the entrance, etc., and it is configured to emit a beautiful tone by detecting when the visitor passes or touches the front (control means), and when the visitor passes, You can greet visitors by emitting sounds. In addition, by attaching a light source such as a light bulb or EL (electro luminescence) and linking it with the lighting, the synergy of sound, light and shape can further enhance the presence and greet visitors gently.

[0056] Therefore, in the first embodiment described above, by using the paper surface of paper or Japanese paper strength as a sound source medium, it is possible to make the sound softer than ever before and the aesthetic appreciation object as a decorative body.
