Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluorescent stick decorative products, and in particular to a fluorescent stick fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Glow sticks are commonly used for decorative purposes and can be used at various concerts, banquets, and festival parties. They are also widely popular as light sources for toys, decorations, and nighttime signs and signals.

[0003] Fixing or constraining glow sticks is one way to shape them. In the prior art, CN206929750U and CN205250579U disclose a type of luminous decorative part that uses a known shaped object's slot or groove to shape the glow stick into the shape of a butterfly. Other existing products either fix the glow stick at its ends to shape it into glasses or a flying device, or use a plate with protrusions to fix the glow stick and shape it, with the glow stick entirely embedded in the product.

[0004] The above-mentioned methods of fixing glow sticks share a common pattern: regardless of whether the fixing method is a slot, a locking position, a protrusion, or friction, the entire length of the glow stick is shaped by the shape of the object. Some products even use a groove of the same length as the glow stick to surround the glow stick so that the glow stick forms the shape of the target object.

[0005] Existing solutions require a large amount of non-luminescent materials to be used in the construction of the luminescent object shaping device. This reduces the proportion of the luminescent area of ​​the entire device and increases the weight of the device, making it inconvenient to use in wearable devices. It also increases the cost, and the shaping and fixing process of the full-length fixed glow stick is complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a glow stick fixing device that uses a U-shaped groove to fix and shape the glow stick. The fixing device occupies only a portion of the total length of the glow stick, allowing most of the glow stick to be freely displayed. The fixing device is lightweight, and the total light-emitting area of ​​the fixing device is large.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A glow stick fixing device includes at least one U-shaped groove for embedding and fixing the glow stick, the U-shaped groove having at least one bend for fixing the glow stick, and the length of the U-shaped groove being less than the length of the glow stick.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the U-shaped groove is greater than or equal to 1 / 6 of the length of the glow stick and less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the length of the glow stick.

[0010] Preferably, the bending direction of the bend is toward or parallel to the wall of the U-shaped groove, and the angle of the bend ranges from 45° to 165°.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing device includes a U-shaped groove assembly consisting of at least two of the U-shaped grooves, with adjacent U-shaped grooves sharing a single groove wall.

[0012] Preferably, the end portions of the U-shaped groove assembly have groove walls of unequal length, and the groove walls at the end portions of the U-shaped groove assembly extend outward in a divergent direction.

[0013] Preferably, the two U-shaped grooves or the two U-shaped groove assemblies are mirror images of each other and are combined into one.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing device further includes a connector, which is disposed on the bottom, side or end of the U-shaped groove or the U-shaped groove assembly.

[0015] Preferably, the connector is a column, hole, tube, or ball joint component.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing device further includes an intermediate component, and the two U-shaped grooves or the U-shaped groove assembly are respectively connected to the intermediate component through the connector.

[0017] Preferably, the two U-shaped grooves or the U-shaped groove assembly are mirror images of each other and are symmetrically connected to the intermediate component through the connector.

[0018] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0019] 1. The glow stick fixing device provided by the present invention has a length that is only a part of the total length of the glow stick, allowing most of the glow stick to be displayed freely. The fixing device is lightweight and has a large proportion of light-emitting area.

[0020] 2. The glow stick fixing device provided by the present invention generates elastic constraint on the bending of the glow stick by the bending angle, so as to obtain a stable fixing effect with minimal gripping contact surface.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] The glow stick fixing device provided by the present invention fixes and shapes the glow stick through a U-shaped groove. The fixing device only occupies a part of the total length of the glow stick, and most of the glow stick can be displayed freely. The fixing device is lightweight and has a large proportion of light-emitting area.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The glow stick fixing device provided in this embodiment includes at least one U-shaped groove 1 for embedding and fixing the glow stick 3. The U-shaped groove 1 is provided with at least one bend 101 for fixing the glow stick 3. The length of the U-shaped groove 1 is less than the length of the glow stick 3. The inner width and depth of the U-shaped groove 1 are slightly greater than the diameter of the glow stick 3. The bend 101 is a rounded bend. The side walls at both ends of the U-shaped groove 1 are provided with rounded corners to prevent scratching people. The U-shaped groove 1 can be directly or fixedly connected to other wearable items through the glow stick 3.

[0043] When the glow stick 3 is embedded and fixed, a portion of the glow stick 3 is embedded in the U-shaped groove 1, and both ends of the glow stick 3 can extend out from both ends of the U-shaped groove 1. The portion of the glow stick 3 extending out of the U-shaped groove 1 is in a free state and can be displayed freely as needed. The portion of the glow stick 3 inside the U-shaped groove 1 is shaped along the bend 101. Due to the elastic deformation force of the glow stick 3 acting on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 1, the interaction force formed by the two makes the glow stick 3 stuck in the groove at the bend 101. Since the length of the U-shaped groove 1 is only a portion of the length of the glow stick 3, the light emission of the glow stick 3 can be fully displayed; by pulling the glow stick 3, the position of the glow stick 3 can be freely adjusted within the U-shaped groove 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the length of the U-shaped groove 1 is less than or equal to 3 / 4 of the length of the glow stick 3. Preferably, the length of the U-shaped groove 1 is greater than or equal to 1 / 6 of the length of the glow stick and less than or equal to 1 / 2 of the length of the glow stick 3. This allows for better fixation of the glow stick 3 within the U-shaped groove 1, while also allowing the glow stick 3 to achieve a larger luminous area ratio and reducing the weight of the fixing device. For optimal fixation and luminous display effects, more preferably, the length of the U-shaped groove 1 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the length of the glow stick 3, further reducing the weight of the device while improving fixation and luminous display effects.

[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The bending direction of the bend 101 is oriented towards or parallel to the wall of the U-shaped groove 1, and the angle range of the bend 101 is 45° to 165°. Further, the bending direction of the bend 101 can be perpendicular to the wall of the U-shaped groove 1, that is, the wall of the U-shaped groove 1 is perpendicular to its bottom surface, and the opening direction of the U-shaped groove 1 forms a 90° angle with the plane containing the angle formed by the bend 101. The angle range of the bend 101 is 45° to 165°. Different bend angles can achieve different display effects. The bend 101 has a rounded transition, which can prevent damage caused by bending the glow stick 3 during shaping. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The bending direction of the bend 101 is parallel to the groove wall of the U-shaped groove 1. That is, the opening direction of the U-shaped groove 1 and the plane containing the angle formed by the bend 101 form a 0° angle. The bending angle of the bend 101 ranges from 45° to 165°. Different bending directions of the bend 101 can achieve more display effects.

[0046] In the above embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, the U-shaped groove 1 is provided with a locking position 4 for locking the glow stick 3. The locking positions 4 are arranged in pairs in the U-shaped groove 1, and there is at least one. When there are multiple locking positions 4, they can be arranged in pairs in the U-shaped groove 1 or they can be arranged separately in the U-shaped groove 1. The locking position 4 is located on the upper part of the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 1. The locking position 4 can be a right-angled trapezoidal block. The inclined surfaces of the two right-angled trapezoidal blocks in the U-shaped groove 1 are opposite each other, and the end with the smaller top area faces downward. The locking position 4 can also be a semi-cylindrical structure, and the plane of the semi-cylindrical is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 1.

[0047] The glow stick 3 is inserted from one end of the U-shaped groove 1 and exits from the other end of the U-shaped groove 1, or is directly pressed into the groove from the top. The part of the glow stick 3 in the U-shaped groove 1 is located at the lower part of the locking position 4. The locking position 4 can prevent the glow stick 3 from leaving the U-shaped groove 1 from the top U-shaped opening of the U-shaped groove 1, thereby better fixing the glow stick 3.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the glow stick fixing device includes a U-shaped groove assembly 5 composed of at least two U-shaped grooves 1, with adjacent U-shaped grooves 1 sharing a single groove wall; the groove walls at the outlet of the U-shaped groove assembly 5 are of unequal length, and the sidewalls of the outlet of the U-shaped groove assembly 5 extend outward in a divergent direction; see reference. Figure 4 As shown, combined with Figure 2 One side wall of the U-shaped groove 1 protrudes outward at one end, creating a gap between the glow stick 3 and the U-shaped groove 1. This allows the glow stick 3 to be better shaped, for example, into a diverging shape, making the glow stick 3 more aesthetically pleasing within the U-shaped groove 1. Specifically, the U-shaped groove assembly 5 consists of three mutually dependent and parallel U-shaped grooves 1. After the glow stick 3 is inserted into the U-shaped groove assembly 5, part of the glow stick 3 extends out from the outlet of the U-shaped groove assembly 5, presenting a luminous wing-like shape.

[0050] In this implementation, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the glow stick fixing device also includes a connector 2, which is disposed on the bottom, side or end of the U-shaped groove 1. The connector 2 can be used to interconnect two relatively independent U-shaped grooves 1, or to fix the U-shaped groove 1 to other wearable items.

[0051] In this embodiment, the connector 2 can be a column, hole, pipe, or ball joint component.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 As shown, combined with Figure 5 In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove assembly 5 can be connected to the bracelet via the connector 2, serving as a decorative element for the bracelet.

[0053] Reference Figure 7 As shown, combined with Figure 5 In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove assembly 5 is also connected to the arm ring through the connector 2, serving as a decorative element for the arm ring.

[0054] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connector 2 is a column with a through hole in the center. One side of the column is a flat surface, which is connected to the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove assembly 5. The side of the column that contacts this surface is an arc surface, making the wearer feel more comfortable.

[0055] When wearing, the wristband or armband is passed through the through hole of the connector 2, so that the U-shaped groove assembly 5 is connected to the wristband or armband.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] Reference Figure 8As shown, the two U-shaped grooves 1 or the two U-shaped groove assemblies 5 of the glow stick fixing device are mirror images of each other and are integrated into one unit. Specifically, the glow stick fixing device includes two mirror images of each other U-shaped grooves 1 or two mirror images of each other U-shaped groove assemblies 5 symmetrically connected to each other. In this embodiment, specifically referring to... Figure 9 As shown, two mirror-image U-shaped groove assemblies 5 are connected at one end of their sidewalls to form a symmetrical hook-shaped eye mask. Six glow sticks 3 are embedded within the two U-shaped groove assemblies 5, forming symmetrical luminous wings. This fixing device has good display effect, is lightweight, and is more suitable for wearing. The two ends of the two mirror-image U-shaped groove assemblies 5 can also be provided with columnar or perforated connecting positions 6, on which support arms can be connected. For example, the support arms can be eyeglass temples, serving a wearing function; the support arms can also be beard ear loops.

[0058] In other embodiments, two mirror-image U-shaped grooves 1 or two mirror-image U-shaped groove assemblies 5 can be symmetrically connected to each other by connectors 2.

[0059] Example 4

[0060] The fixing device in this embodiment also includes an intermediate component 7. The two U-shaped grooves 1 or the U-shaped groove assembly 5 can be connected to the intermediate component 7 respectively through the connector 2.

[0061] Reference Figure 10 As shown in the specific application example, the intermediate component 7 is a headdress, and the U-shaped groove assembly 5 can be installed on the headdress, such as a hair clip. Inserts 8 are respectively provided at both ends of the headdress. Specifically, the connector 2 is a ball-and-socket connector, and the insert 8 is a spherical insert. The connector 2 and the insert 8 form a spherical joint. The insert 8 is a ball-and-column assembly with a central groove. In this embodiment, the connector 2 is a column with a central ball-and-socket socket, located on the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove assembly 5. When installing the U-shaped groove assembly 5, press the insert 8 by hand to reduce the gap in the groove, then insert it into the connector 2. After releasing the hand, the gap in the groove returns to its initial state, and the U-shaped groove assembly 5 is connected to the headdress 7. When it needs to be removed, simply pull the U-shaped groove assembly 5 to reduce the gap in the groove of the insert 8, and pull the U-shaped groove assembly 5 out of the headdress 7. The position of the U-shaped groove assembly 5 relative to the headdress 7 is limited by the friction between the connector 2 and the insert 8. The position of the U-shaped groove assembly 5 relative to the headdress 7 can also be adjusted by manual rotation to achieve the best wearing and display effect.

[0062] In this embodiment, the U-shaped groove assembly 5 can be installed symmetrically in pairs on the headdress 7, which can achieve a better decorative effect.

[0063] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 11As shown, the glow stick 3 can be bent to extend the U-shaped groove assembly 5, so that the glow stick 3 can present different shapes and achieve different display effects.

[0064] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 11 As shown, six glow sticks 3 are embedded in the grooves of the U-shaped groove assembly 5. The glow sticks 3 can be adjusted in the grooves to make the headdress present different shapes and achieve different display effects.

[0065] The glow stick fixing device of the present invention fixes the glow stick 3 without fixing the ends or segmenting them, allowing the glow stick 3 to be freely adjusted in position within the fixing device, thereby enabling the glow stick 3 to produce a variety of display effects; the bend angle 101 provides elastic constraint on the bending of the glow stick 3, achieving a stable fixing effect with minimal gripping contact area.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
