Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to mirror decorations, and more particularly to a mirror mechanism that allows for custom decorations such as wreaths to be applied to mirrors. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, mirrors are often used as they are with the structure and specifications they were purchased with. However, depending on the mirror, such as for personal use or special specifications, many people would like to decorate it with their own unique ornaments and use it as their own unique mirror. However, it is difficult to decorate a purchased mirror with their own unique ornaments, and the reality is that people are forced to use the mirror as it is.

[0003] In this case, many people would like to have a mirror that they can easily decorate with their favorite ornaments or decorations after purchasing it for their own use or for special purposes, and they are particularly attached to their personal mirrors that they look at every day, so they tend to want even more individuality from their mirrors. The present invention has been made to meet such desires.

[0004] It is common for all items, especially those intended for gifts, to be decorated, including their packaging, and various proposals have been made for such decoration methods in the following selected literature.

[0005] For example, in Patent Document 1 (Patent Publication No. 5690004), a decorative wreath such as a Christmas wreath or a Halloween wreath is constructed from a bag body whose direct side is made of a flexible sheet part and a holder for holding the bag body in a desired substantially annular shape as the ring part of the decorative wreath, the inside of the bag body is made into a storage part capable of storing an object to be stored, and the holder body has a main holding part on at least a part thereof for directly attaching and holding the bag body, and when the main holding part is used by hanging or suspending the bag from a wall, door, etc. with the object to be stored in the storage part, the shape of the entire bag becomes a decorative shape. The bag is positioned so that it can be held in the desired approximately circular shape as a wreath, and is rigid enough to prevent deformation.The bag, which contains an item in the storage section, is attached to and held in the main holding body, thereby determining the external shape of the bag, which also serves as the ring section of the decorative wreath.The bag and the holding body are joined to each other, or an attachment means for attaching the bag and the holding body in a detachable or separable manner is provided on at least one of the bag or the holding body, or as a separate component, thereby disclosing a technical idea regarding a decorative wreath with a storage section, which makes the bag and the holding body detachable or separable from each other.

[0006] However, this example relates to decorative wreaths for year-round occasions such as Christmas, Halloween, Hinamatsuri, New Year's, birthdays, etc., and does not involve the invention of making it possible to decorate mirrors with original designs as described above. Furthermore, Document 1 is an invention of decoration methods and specifications that assume packaging, and does not mention at all mirrors that can be freely decorated with original designs.

[0007] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 (JP 2012-96054 A) discloses technology for a wreath with a storage section, in which the ring section that constitutes a Christmas or Halloween wreath is made hollow, so that the inside of the ring section serves as a storage section for storing items, and protrusions of any shape that extend from the inner surface of the ring section that constitutes the storage section are molded integrally with the inner surface of the ring section at appropriate locations, or are provided so that they can be attached and detached or installed, thereby preventing the items from shifting when they are placed inside the storage section.

[0008] However, this example also relates to decorative wreaths for Christmas or Halloween, and does not lead to the invention of making it possible to customize mirrors as described above. Similarly, Document 2 also relates to a decoration method and specifications that assume packaging, and does not mention a mirror that can be freely and arbitrarily decorated with custom decorations. In other words, it does not lead to the inventor's goal of the present invention, "a mirror that can be easily decorated with your favorite ornaments and decorations," and does not present a fundamental solution. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5690004 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-96054 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] No technology to date has presented a technical concept that allows a user to easily apply unique decorative ornaments to a mirror after purchase and build a mirror to their own specifications.

[0011] The objective of this invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, and to provide a technical idea for mirror decoration that allows for the free and arbitrary application of original or specially designed decorative ornaments to mirrors, and that also allows for easy and arbitrary changes to be made, while also significantly improving the safety and ease of application of the ornaments, and making them inexpensive and economically efficient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] In order to solve this problem, the wreath mirror of the present invention comprises a flat mirror, a plurality of U-shaped wreath decoration fasteners that are attached and fixed to the mirror at any position on the outer periphery of the mirror, sandwiching the front and back of the mirror, and a wire or string attached to the wreath decoration fasteners, and is characterized in that the mirror is decorated with various wreath decorations attached to the wire or string attached to the wreath decoration fasteners that are attached and fixed to the mirror.

[0013] In other words, the wreath mirror of this invention has wreath decoration fasteners attached to string-like wires for fixing and holding ornaments and decorations such as wreaths, which are attached and fixed to the outer edge of the mirror at multiple points on its periphery, so that the owner of the mirror can freely tie and fix ornaments and decorations with the wire or string and decorate the outer periphery of the mirror, etc.

[0014] There are no particular limitations on the material, size, or number of the wreath ornament fasteners, but they are preferably made of a springy or flexible metal or rubbery synthetic resin, such as silicone rubber, that can be easily attached to and removed from the mirror by clamping the outer edge of the mirror in a U-shape. There are also no limitations on the size or shape of the mirror, and they can be circular, oval, square, rectangular, trapezoidal, heart-shaped, star-shaped, or any other flat shape. The required number of wreath ornament fasteners can be attached to the required positions on the mirror, and the number can be any number that can be used in a manner that allows the wreath ornament to be decorated and fixed as desired.

[0015] The wire or string can be any material or length that can be used to bundle, tie, or secure ornaments or decorations, and there are no limitations on the material, length, or shape. For example, it can be hemp string, wire, or leather bands. Furthermore, the wreath ornament is not limited to a wreath, but can be any ornament or decorative item, such as a tassel, silk ribbon, flower, artificial flower, or plant, and for convenience, these are collectively defined as a "wreath ornament" or "wreath" in this invention.

[0016] In addition, the wreath mirror of the present invention may further comprise a flexible mirror outer ring that is attached to the front and back of the outer periphery of the mirror in a circular shape, and the wreath ornament fastener may be attached and fixed at any position on the mirror outer ring, sandwiching the front and back of the mirror outer ring.

[0017] The mirror outer ring is made of, for example, silicone rubber and can be a long, soft rod-like body with a cross-sectional shape that clamps and covers the outer edge of the mirror in a U-shape, and is attached to the mirror so that it covers the entire outer periphery of the mirror while clamping the outer edge (see Figure 4). Because it is soft, a wreath ornament fastener can be attached to the top of the mirror outer ring without damaging the mirror.

[0018] In addition, the wreath mirror of the present invention can have a flexible cushioning material at the mirror surface contact portion of the wreath decoration fastener, and the wreath decoration fastener can have a set screw that can adjust the distance of the U-shaped opening.

[0019] A specific example of a U-shaped wreath ornament fastener will be described later in the Examples section of the invention. However, even though it is U-shaped, depending on the thickness of various mirrors, it may not be possible to properly clamp and secure it to the outer edge. Therefore, a set screw can be provided to adjust the opening dimensions of the U-shape (see Figure 2). By tightening the set screw, the U-shape is narrowed, and the wreath ornament fastener is firmly fixed to the outer edge of the mirror. Furthermore, by providing a cushioning material with shock-absorbing properties such as silicone rubber or urethane on the part that comes into contact with the mirror surface, damage to the mirror surface can be further prevented.

[0020] Furthermore, the wreath mirror of the present invention can also be configured in such a way that the U-shaped wreath ornament fastener and the wire or string are replaced with a flexible annular wreath ornament fastener that is integrally connected to the mirror's outer ring.

[0021] In other words, the wreath ornament fastener has a shape that has been transformed from a U-shape into a small ring (donut-shaped), and one end of it is connected and integrated with the mirror outer ring, so that by attaching the mirror outer ring to the outer periphery of the mirror, the integrated wreath ornament fastener is also attached at the same time, making it an easier wreath mirror (see Figure 3). For example, ornaments and decorations can be inserted into the ring-shaped (donut-shaped) wreath ornament fastener (ring-shaped wreath ornament fastener 17 in Figure 3) and easily secured in place. Whether or not to use wire or string is optional.

[0022] In addition, the wreath mirror of the present invention comprises a flat mirror, a frame that encloses the mirror, and a plurality of wreath ornament fixing bands that are attached and fixed near the outer periphery of the frame, and is characterized in that it can be decorated by attaching wreath ornaments to the wreath ornament fixing bands that are attached and fixed to the frame that encloses the mirror.

[0023] The wreath mirror of this invention has a frame that encloses a flat mirror of a circular, oval, rectangular, square, polygonal, or other shape, and is equipped with multiple wreath ornament attachment bands around the periphery of the frame, and can be decorated by tying or entangling wreath ornaments to the bands. Of course, the front of the mirror enclosed in the frame is visible, and the back is secured by a back cover of the frame.

[0024] Furthermore, the wreath decoration fixing band of the wreath mirror of this invention is characterized by having one end attached and fixed to the frame, and the other end wrapped around and fixed to the wreath decoration near the one end.

[0025] The material of the wreath attachment band may be a leather band, string, or wire. It is sufficient that one end of the wreath attachment band is attached and fixed near the outer periphery of the picture frame, and the other end is fixed near the one end while wrapping, tying, or entangling the wreath ornament. The attachment method is not limited.

[0026] As mentioned above, the wreath mirror of the present invention can be modified and used in various ways depending on the shape of the wreath decoration fastener, wire (string), outer ring of the mirror, etc. However, all of these are included in the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and we assert that they are also included in the technical idea of ​​the present invention under the doctrine of equivalents. [Effects of the Invention]

[0027] This invention provides a mirror that allows you to freely and arbitrarily decorate a mirror with any unique or specially designed ornaments, and allows you to easily change them as you like. This allows you to own a unique, beautiful mirror tailored to your personal preferences. Furthermore, it provides a technological concept for decorating mirrors that is inexpensive and economically efficient, while also dramatically improving the safety and ease of decoration. It also makes it possible to realize such a mirror. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] 1 is a perspective conceptual view showing a wreath decoration fastener for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 3] 1 is a perspective conceptual view showing an annular wreath decorative fastener for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 4] 1 is a cross-sectional view of a circular wreath ornament fastener for a wreath mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 5] 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the back of the frame of a wreath mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 6]1 is a perspective conceptual view showing a wreath decorative fastening band for a wreath mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. [Figure 7] 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the back of a wreath mirror decorated with wreath ornaments according to one embodiment of the present invention; FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. The scope necessary for the explanation to achieve the object of the present invention is shown schematically, and the scope necessary for the explanation of the relevant parts of the present invention is mainly explained, and the parts that are omitted from the explanation are based on the publicly known technology.

[0030] Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the overall image of a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, several wreath decoration fasteners 11 are attached to the outer peripheral edge 19 of mirror 10. Wreath decoration fasteners 11 are roughly U-shaped and are attached to mirror 10 from the outside, sandwiching the front and back sides, with wire (string) 15 passing through the gap between them.

[0031] Tassels, silk ribbons, flowers, artificial flowers, plants, and other wreath decorations are attached to soft wire (string) and placed around the outside of the mirror to decorate it. In this way, each and every wreath mirror is made to look unique.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the number of wreath ornament fasteners 11 can be set arbitrarily depending on the size and shape of mirror 10. The material of wreath ornament fasteners 11 may be, for example, a U-shaped metal with spring properties, or a soft synthetic resin such as flexible silicone rubber, but any material will do as long as it can clamp and secure mirror 10. Wire (string) 15 can also be simply ordinary hemp string, or it may be a soft metal such as wire. Any wire (string) 15 will do as long as it is sufficient to tie and secure ornaments.

[0033] Figure 2 is a perspective conceptual diagram showing a wreath ornament fastener for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the wreath ornament fastener 11 is roughly U-shaped. Figure 2 shows one example of the wreath ornament fastener 11, which has a cushioning material 13 such as soft silicone rubber or urethane rubber on the surface that comes into contact with the mirror, preventing damage to the mirror. As shown in Figure 2, the wire-through hole 14 is designed to allow the above-mentioned wire or string 15 to be inserted.

[0034] As shown in Figure 2, wreath ornament fastener 11 has a U-shape, so if it is equipped with a set screw 12, it can be attached to the mirror more firmly and stably by tightening set screw 12. Similarly, it can be easily removed by loosening set screw 12, so the attachment position and number of wreath ornament fasteners 11 on the mirror can be adjusted as desired. This is an ideal shape for decorating ornaments as desired.

[0035] Figure 3 is a perspective conceptual diagram showing an annular wreath ornament fastener for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the outer periphery of the mirror 10 may be a mirror outer ring 16 made of soft silicone rubber or the like. The mirror outer ring has a shape similar to the outer periphery edge 19 of the mirror shown in Figure 1, and is attached to the mirror 10 in a ring shape, sandwiching the front and back surfaces of the outer periphery of the mirror 10 and enclosing the mirror.

[0036] Because the mirror outer ring 16 is soft and rod-shaped, it can be attached to any shape of mirror, covering the outer circumference. It can be attached to mirrors with outer shapes such as oval, square, rectangle, trapezoid, heart, star, etc. In addition, the wreath ornament fastener 11 can be attached to the mirror outer ring 16. The mirror outer ring 16 protects the outer surface and surface of the mirror from damage.

[0037] 3, the wreath ornament fastener can also be in a circular shape, such as the annular wreath ornament fastener 17, and can also be integrally connected to the mirror outer ring 16. As shown in FIG. 3, the mirror outer ring 16 and the annular wreath ornament fastener 17 are molded and manufactured from the same soft material, such as silicone rubber, which makes it easier to attach to mirrors of all shapes, greatly contributing to the widespread use of wreath mirrors.

[0038] Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a cross section of an annular wreath ornament fastener for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the cross section of the integrated mirror outer ring 16 and annular wreath ornament fastener 17 is shaped so that it can be attached by clamping the outer periphery of the mirror at any desired position. The tip of the approximately U-shaped fastener is slightly closed, allowing it to be attached tightly to the mirror. Needless to say, when attaching ornaments, it is sufficient to use only the annular wreath fastener 17 in any desired position.

[0039] Figure 5 is a conceptual diagram showing the back of a wreath mirror frame according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a circular mirror, for example, is placed in a circular frame 20, and the back of the frame is sealed with a frame back cover 21 using a back cover fastener 23. The front surface is a mirrored surface and functions as a mirror. One end of multiple wreath-attaching bands 22 is attached near the outer periphery of the frame 20, and Figure 5 shows an embodiment in which the other end of each wreath-attaching band 22 is folded and secured to the one end by a band fastener 24.

[0040] The present invention does not limit the shape or material of the frame, and it goes without saying that any frame that is suitable for the shape of the mirror to be used will suffice.

[0041] Figure 6 is a perspective conceptual diagram showing a wreath-attaching band for a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the wreath-attaching band 22 may be, for example, a long, flat leather band, with one end attached and secured near the outer periphery of the frame 20 and the other end bent and secured with a band fastener 24. Wreath ornaments, such as leaves, branches, flowers, artificial flowers, and decorative items, can be attached to the inner periphery of the wreath-attaching band 22 in any desired design. The present invention does not limit the materials or shapes of the wreath-attaching band 22 or the band fastener.

[0042] Figure 7 is a conceptual diagram showing the back of a wreath mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention, decorated with a wreath ornament. As shown in the figure, the outer periphery of frame 20 enclosing the wreath mirror is decorated with bay laurel wreath leaves secured by wreath ornament fastening band 22. While only the back is shown in Figure 7, a wreath mirror according to the present invention, designed and decorated with a favorite wreath ornament, will of course be a one-of-a-kind mirror that reflects the owner's tastes and preferences.

[0043] The Wreath mirror according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications including the individual components can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, but it is claimed that all of these modifications are part of the technical concept of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0044] As described above, the invention of the present application provides a mirror that can be freely and arbitrarily decorated with unique or special decorative ornaments, and that can also be easily and arbitrarily changed. This provides a technical concept for mirror decoration that is significantly cheaper and more economical, while also significantly improving the safety and ease of use of the decoration.

[0045] Therefore, the present invention can be used and applied to all related materials and applications, and is therefore of great benefit to various industries involving decorative objects, not just the mirror-related industry. [Explanation of symbols]
