Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an ornament according to an embodiment. The ornament includes a main body 1 of the decorative part and a plurality of decorative members 2 fixed to both sides thereof. First, the main body 1 of the decorative part and the decorative member 2 will be described respectively.

[0015] FIGS. 2A and 2B are a schematic front view and a schematic side view of the main body 1 of the decorative part, respectively. The main body 1 of the decorative part has an acrylic plate 11 (transparent plate), a stand 12, and transparent sheets 13a and 113b. In FIG. 2B etc., the acrylic plate 11 and the transparent sheets 13a and 13b are drawn thickly for clarity.

[0016] The acrylic plate 11 is for fixing a plurality of decorative members 2. The acrylic plate 11 only needs to be larger than the decorative member 2, and there is no particular limitation on the shape, but it is, for example, rectangular. Also, the acrylic plate 11 is preferably colorless and transparent so that its presence is not conspicuous.

[0017] The stand 12 holds the acrylic plate 11 in the vertical direction. As an example, the stand 12 has a bottom surface 12a and a vertical surface 12b extending vertically upward from the bottom surface 12a. A slit 12c extending downward from the upper end is formed in the vertical surface 12b, and the acrylic plate 11 is held by fitting the acrylic plate 11 into this slit 12c. The stand 12 is also made of acrylic and is preferably colorless and transparent. Note that when holding the acrylic plate 11 by other methods, the stand 12 may not be provided.

[0018] The transparent sheets 13a and 13b are sheets provided with a plurality of fine protrusions on the surface. Then, the transparent sheet 13a is attached to one surface 11a of the acrylic plate 11, and the transparent sheet 13b is attached to the opposite surface 11b of the acrylic plate 11. Here, the transparent sheets 13a and 13b may be the same, and the transparent sheet 13a will be described hereinafter as a representative.

[0019] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the transparent sheet 13a. The transparent sheet 13a has a transparent resin base material 131 and a large number of fine protrusions 132 formed on the surface thereof. The protrusions 132 may have a substantially conical shape in which the vertical cross-section is larger closer to the base material 131 and the aspect ratio (the ratio of the height to the diameter of the bottom surface) is 1 or more. The pitch between adjacent protrusions 132 is less than visible light (for example, 250 nm or less). As the transparent sheet 13a, for example, a moth-eye type high-functional film "Mosmite" (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation can be used.

[0020] In the present embodiment, by providing such protrusions 132, the reflection of light in the acrylic plate 11 is suppressed and the transparency is increased, and the surface friction is increased.

[0021] FIGS. 4A and 4B are a schematic front view and a schematic side view of the decorative member 2, respectively. The decorative member 2 has an acrylic plate 21 (transparent plate), a transparent sheet 22, and magnets 23a and 23b.

[0022] The shape and size of the acrylic plate 21 are not particularly limited, but it is preferably colored transparent (especially fluorescent color) in order to enhance the decorativeness. Further, it is more desirable to have decorative members 2 in which the colors of the acrylic plates 21 are different from each other. This is because a three-dimensional appearance can be realized by overlapping the colors.

[0023] Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, for the acrylic plate 21, the surface on the opposite side of one side surface (the surface indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 4A, hereinafter referred to as the "lower surface" for convenience) 21a is larger than the upper surface (the surface indicated by the solid line in FIG. 4B, hereinafter referred to as the "upper surface" for convenience) 21b. For example, the shape of the acrylic plate 21 can be such that the lower surface 21a is a substantially square with a side length of about 20 mm, the upper surface 21b is a substantially rectangular shape with a side length of about 17 mm, and the thickness is about 1 mm. When viewed from the front, the edge of the lower surface 21a is inside the upper surface 21b. And, as shown in FIG. 4B, an inclined surface 21c is provided between the edge of the lower surface 21a and the edge of the upper surface 21b on the acrylic plate 21. Of course, the acrylic plate 21 is not limited to a substantially square shape and may be circular or any other shape (a point-symmetric shape is particularly desirable).

[0024] The transparent sheet 22 is a sheet provided with a plurality of fine protrusions on its surface and is attached to the upper surface 21b of the acrylic plate 21. This transparent sheet 22 may also be the one shown in FIG. 3, and again, "MOSSMITE" (registered trademark) can be used.

[0025] There is no particular limitation on the shape and size of the magnet 23a, but it is preferably not too large so as not to be too conspicuous. For example, it is preferably in a cylindrical shape with a cross-sectional diameter of about 3 mm. The magnet 23a is arranged at a predetermined position that is not the center of the acrylic plate 21 (for example, on the diagonal line, and its center is at a position about 4.5 mm from the edge of the upper surface 21b). More specifically, a hole is formed at the corresponding position of the acrylic plate 21, and the magnet 23a is fitted into the hole. And the hole penetrates to the lower surface 21a side, and the tip of the magnet 23a protrudes about 1 mm from the lower surface 21a. On the other hand, it is desirable that the magnet 23a does not penetrate to the upper surface 23b side. This is because if it penetrates to the upper surface 23b side, the color and texture of the magnet 23a will be visible as they are. And the protruding side (lower surface 21a side) of the magnet 23a is the S pole, and the opposite side (upper surface 21b side) is the N pole.

[0026] Although there are no particular restrictions on the shape and size of the magnet 23b, it is preferably the same shape as the magnet 23a. The magnet 23b is arranged at a point-symmetrical position with respect to the center of the acrylic plate 21. Also, similar to the magnet 23a, a hole is formed in the acrylic plate 21 at the corresponding position for the magnet 23b, and the magnet 23b is fitted into the hole. Desirably, the hole penetrates only to the lower surface 21a side, and the tip of the magnet 23b protrudes about 1 mm from the lower surface 21a. And, contrary to the magnet 23a, the protruding side (lower surface 21a side) of the magnet 23b is the N pole, and the opposite side (upper surface 21b side) is the S pole.

[0027] By arranging the magnet 23a and 23b in such an alternating structure (so-called "teleco"), when arranging a plurality of decorative members 2 as described later, only one type of decorative member 2 is sufficient, and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

[0028] FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are a schematic front view and a schematic side view, respectively, for explaining an example of the arrangement of the decoration part main body 1 and the decorative member 2. Hereinafter, the three decorative members 2 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B are distinguished from each other as decorative members 2A to 2C. As shown in FIG. 5A, when viewed from the front, the decorative members 2A to 2C are arranged overlapping each other. The decorative members 2A and 2B shown in FIG. 5B are arranged as follows.

[0029] The lower surface 21a of the decorative member 2A faces the transparent sheet 13a attached to the surface 11a of the acrylic plate 11 of the decoration part main body 1. More specifically, the magnets 23a and 23b protruding from the lower surface 21a of the decorative member 2A are in contact with the transparent sheet 13a of the decoration part main body 1.

[0030] The lower surface 21a of the decorative member 2B faces the transparent sheet 13b attached to the surface 11b of the acrylic plate 11 of the decoration part main body 1. More specifically, the magnets 23a and 23b protruding from the lower surface 21a of the decorative member 2B are in contact with the transparent sheet 13b of the decoration part main body 1.

[0031] Then, through the decoration part main body 1, the magnet 23a of the decoration member 2A faces the magnet 23b of the decoration member 2B, and the magnet 23b of the decoration member 2A faces the magnet 23a of the decoration member 2B.

[0032] With such an arrangement, the S pole of the magnet 23a in the decoration member 2A attracts the N pole of the magnet 23b in the decoration member 2B. Also, the N pole of the magnet 23b in the decoration member 2A attracts the S pole of the magnet 23a in the decoration member 2B. Therefore, the decoration members 2A and 2B attract each other through the acrylic plate 11 of the decoration part main body 1. Then, friction is generated by the transparent sheets 13a and 13b attached to both sides of the acrylic plate 11, and the decoration members 2A and 2B are fixed without slipping off. When the decoration member 2 is lightweight, one or both of the transparent sheets 13a and 13b may be omitted.

[0033] By attaching the transparent sheets 13a and 13b, the transparency of the acrylic plate 11 is increased, so that it seems as if the decoration members 2A and 2B are floating. Also, the decoration members 2B and 2C shown in FIG. 5B are arranged as follows.

[0034] The lower surface 21a of the decoration member 2C faces the transparent sheet 22 attached to the upper surface 21b of the decoration member 2B. More specifically, the magnets 23a and 23b protruding from the lower surface 21a of the decoration member 2C are in contact with the transparent sheet 22 of the decoration member 2B.

[0035] Then, the magnet 23a of the decoration member 2C faces the magnet 23a of the decoration member 2B, and the magnet 23b of the decoration member 2C faces the magnet 23b of the decoration member 2B.

[0036] With such an arrangement, the S pole of the magnet 23a in the decorative member 2C attracts the N pole of the magnet 23a in the decorative member 2B. Also, the N pole of the magnet 23b in the decorative member 2C attracts the S pole of the magnet 23b in the decorative member 2B. Therefore, the decorative members 2B and 2C attract each other. Then, friction is generated by the transparent sheet 22 of the decorative member 2B, and the decorative members 2B and 2C are fixed without slipping off. When the decorative member 2 is lightweight, the transparent sheet 22 may be omitted.

[0037] Here, if the magnets 23a and 23b protrude from the lower surface 21a of the decorative member 2 and the lower surface 21a is smaller than the upper surface 21b, the decorative member 2 once arranged can be easily removed, and it is easy to handle.

[0038] FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are a schematic front view and a schematic side view, respectively, for explaining another example of the arrangement of the decorative part main body 1 and the decorative member 2. As shown in FIG. 6A, when viewed from the front, the decorative members 2A to 2C are arranged obliquely offset.

[0039] In FIGS. 5A and 5B, with the decorative part main body 1 interposed therebetween, the two magnets 23a and 23b in one decorative member 2A and the two magnets 23b and 23a in the other decorative member 2B attracted each other. In contrast, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the decorative members 2A and 2B may be arranged such that only one magnet 23a in one decorative member 2A attracts only one magnet 23b in the other decorative member 2B.

[0040] In this case, another decorative member 2 may be arranged with the decorative part main body 1 interposed therebetween such that the magnet 23b in the decorative member 2A attracts the magnet 23a in another decorative member 2 (not shown).

[0041] Also, in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the two magnets 23a and 23b in one decorative member 2B and the two magnets 23a and 23b in the other decorative member 2C attracted each other. In contrast, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the decorative members 2B and 2C may be arranged such that only one magnet 23a in one decorative member 2B and only one magnet 23a in the other decorative member 2C attract each other.

[0042] In this case, another decorative member 2 may be arranged on the upper surface 21b side of the decorative member 2B such that the magnet 23b in the decorative member 2B and the magnet 23b in another decorative member 2 (not shown) attract each other.

[0043] By arranging the decorative members 2 arbitrarily on both sides of the decorative part main body 1 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B or FIGS. 6A and 6B above, an ornament as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. By arranging the magnets 23a and 3b of the decorative member 2 in a swapped manner, the front and back of the decorative member 2 can be arranged without shifting.

[0044] Note that an ornament with the decorative member 2 already arranged as shown in FIG. 1 may be manufactured and sold, or only the decorative part main body 1, only the decorative member 2, or a set of the decorative part main body 1 and the decorative member 2 may be manufactured and sold. Also, assuming that a transparent sheet 13 is attached to an existing acrylic plate 11, the transparent sheet 13 and the decorative member 2 may be provided as a set. In this case, since the transparent sheet 13 is less likely to have a curled habit even when stretched from a curled state, the transparent sheet 13 may be provided in a rolled form.

[0045] The uses of this ornament are diverse. For example, the decorative member 2 can be arranged to form a desired trademark for store decoration, or the decorative member 2 can be arranged to form an arrow shape for guiding customers as a sign, etc., and it can be used in the same way as a conventional neon sign. Also, this ornament can be used as a partition provided on the tables of restaurants for infection prevention.

[0046] The above-described embodiments are described for the purpose of enabling a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains to practice the present invention. Various modifications of the above embodiments can be naturally made by those skilled in the art, and the technical idea of the present invention can also be applied to other embodiments. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be in the broadest scope in accordance with the technical idea defined by the claims.
