Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a prism structure for observing an article and an article display stand, and more particularly to a prism structure for observing an article and an article display stand that can simultaneously observe an article to be observed from multiple directions such as not only the front direction but also the side direction.

Background Art

[0002] Chrovit (registered trademark, hereinafter also referred to as "Chrovit-type prism"), which is a prism invented by the applicant, has been used not only for inspection and processing of integrated circuits, industrial products, and parts (Patent Documents 1, 2, 3), but also for applications in medical and biochemical fields such as cell observation (Patent Document 4). The Chrovit-type prism is an optical element that uses the refractive index of glass to make the lengths of each surface with different focal lengths have the same optical focal length and the same magnification. By combining the bending of the optical path using the prism, the information of a three-dimensional subject observed from multiple directions is aggregated in one direction, and a plurality of surfaces can be simultaneously image-processed by a single image camera.

[0003] In other words, the Chrovit-type prism is composed of one or two or more prisms, has an optical path formed to aggregate the surfaces in each direction that are the observation objects of a three-dimensional structure in one direction, and can be said to be a multi-surface simultaneous observation optical system in which optical path length correction is performed using the difference in refractive index between glass and air to make the working distance of each surface the same. As a result, so to speak, a multi-surface simultaneous observation method can be provided.

[0005] Now, it is recognized that there are many fields where the multi-faceted simultaneous observation method is useful and effective, not only in the manufacturing fields such as semiconductors, electronics, and electrical machinery, but also in medical and biochemical fields such as cell observation. For example, in the jewelry and watch industries, when displaying products such as jewelry and watches, it is possible to have a display that allows observers to visually recognize from multiple directions simultaneously, not only from above and obliquely above, but also from the side, back, or even from the bottom in addition to these. This enables better observation and inspection of the displayed products, which is beneficial for both exhibitors and observers. In this case, in terms of accuracy, the accuracy up to that of a conventional Krobit-type prism is not required. However, such an application has not been made yet.

[0006] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is, based on the situation of such prior art, not in business applications and highly specialized applications such as the manufacturing fields including semiconductors, electronics, and electrical machinery, and medical and biochemical fields such as cell observation, but for observation purposes where high accuracy like that of conventional applications is not required, such as for display in the jewelry and watch industries.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory view conceptually showing the basic configuration of the prism structure for observing an article of the present invention. In the figure, (a) shows the configuration itself, and (b) shows the usage state and operation. As shown in the figure, the prism structure 10 for observing an article of the present invention is composed of one or two or more prisms, and is a multi-faceted simultaneous observation optical system having an optical path formed so as to converge the surfaces in a plurality of directions of an observation target article T having a three-dimensional structure onto one direction. The main configuration includes a multi-faceted observation prism 1 and a holding portion 9 for holding the observation target article T. In the figure, the multi-faceted observation prism 1 shows a configuration composed of component prisms 2 and 3 which are components thereof, but is not limited thereto, and can take various configurations as described later.

[0015] According to the prism structure 10 for observing this article with such a configuration as shown in (b) in the figure, when the article T to be observed is held by the holding part 9, due to the action of the optical path provided in the multi-faceted observation prism 1, the surfaces in a plurality of directions of the article T to be observed are aggregated in one direction, that is, in the direction facing straight at the holding part 9. Thereby, the surfaces in a plurality of directions of the article T to be observed are observed simultaneously.

[0016] In the example of this figure, if the observation V1 from the facing direction of the holding part 9 is regarded as the observation from the front, in addition to that, the observation V2 which is the observation from the left side surface obtained by the action of the component prism 2 constituting the multi-faceted observation prism 1, and the observation V3 which is the observation from the right side surface obtained by the action of the component prism 3 as well, simultaneous multi-faceted observation from three directions can be made. That is, when the article T to be observed is held by the holding part 9, immediately, the article T to be observed can be simultaneously observed from three directions: the front, the left and right side surfaces, in total.

[0017] Note that the form of holding by the holding part 9 is, in this figure, the so-called placement where the article T to be observed is placed still on the holding part 9, but it is not limited to this. For example, not only the support from below like placement, but also the form of holding in the space by a predetermined locking structure, Any form in which it can be held in a stationary state by some support action in the space observable by the observer may be sufficient.
