Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more enhance decorativeness in the case of applying a luminous cloth to an artificial flower by providing a luminous portion partly or entirely formed of the cloth and a light source to the portion, forming the entirety in a size to be portably carried, and allowing the source to be repeatedly lit and put out under the control of a timer. SOLUTION: In the case of applying a luminous cloth to an artificial flower, a luminous portion is formed by providing two types of flowers such as a rose 1 and a babies'-breath 2 and forming petals 1a, 2a of the cloth. A cage (or a flower planter) 3 has an illuminator 4 as a light source of the luminous portion. The illuminator 4 is repeatedly lit and put out at each predetermined time under the control of ON, OFF of a power source of a timer 5 for a predetermined time so that the luminous portion is always in a luminous state. The cloth can be applied to not only the petals 1a, 2b but also the entire artificial flower including leaves and stems. As the light source, various illuminations such as an incandescent lamp or the like can be used. In view of a standpoint of preventing a low temperature ignition of the cloth, a fluorescent lamp of low heating is suitably used, and a light emitting diode is further suitably used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an interior decoration using a luminous cloth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a luminous pigment that stores light energy under a light source and emits light in an environment without a light source is known, and a luminous fiber obtained by kneading or applying the pigment to a fiber is also known. It is. Furthermore, a light-storing cloth made by knitting light-storing fibers has already been put into practice.

[0003]

However, the range of use of the phosphorescent cloth is used for uniforms worn by traffic controllers at night for the purpose of calling attention, and also for wall cloths, entrance mats and curtains for decorative purposes. However, its effect is limited in its use, and the actual situation is that a very effective use method has not been found.

[0004] On the other hand, research and development of luminous cloths are being promoted at present, and ones having a longer luminous time and brighter ones are being developed.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to make effective use of a luminous cloth, and as a result of paying attention to its characteristics, the luminous cloth is applied to an upholstery.

[0006]

That is, in the present invention, attention is paid not only to the decorativeness when a phosphorescent cloth is applied to a conventional upholstery, but also to the fact that the brightness is, for example, such that reading is possible. It has been found that this can also be used as a lighting device. As a specific solution, a light-storing part partially or entirely made of a light-storing cloth and a light source for the light-storing part are provided. The light source has a portable size as a whole, and the light source is repeatedly turned on and off by timer control. Means were used. Here, the light-storing cloth is defined as a cloth formed by knitting the light-storing fibers described in the related art.

[0007] As a specific example of use, in claim 2, at least petals are formed by a luminous cloth to make an artificial flower. In this means, at least the petals may be formed of a light-storing cloth. If the petals are entirely formed of the light-storing cloth such as the leaves and stems, higher decorativeness and a lighting function can be obtained. Also,
According to the third aspect, the means for providing the light source near the periphery of the petal is selectively provided. Thus, light energy can be efficiently supplied to the petals, that is, the light storage section, and decorativeness by the light source itself can be obtained. On the other hand, in claim 4, as another example of use, means for forming a stuffed toy with a phosphorescent cloth is used.

Further, in the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the interior decoration product according to the above-mentioned means, a means is used in which the light source is wrapped with a luminous cloth. As a result, the light source can be concealed to ensure good appearance. Also, light energy can be efficiently supplied to the light storage unit.

The common function of these means is to emit light by emitting the accumulated light energy and to function as a decorative interior decoration, while, if a power failure occurs due to a disaster, etc. Functions as an emergency lighting device that illuminates. Further, since the light source repeats lighting and extinguishing, the light storage unit also repeatedly stores and emits light energy each time.

[0010]

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment in which a luminous cloth is applied to artificial flowers, and includes two kinds of flowers, a rose 1 and a haze grass 2, and the petals 1a.
2a is formed of a luminous cloth to form a luminous portion. The car 3 (which may be a planter) is provided with an illuminating device 4 as a light source of the light storage section. The power of the lighting device 4 is controlled to be turned on and off at regular intervals by a timer 5, and is repeatedly turned on and off at regular intervals to keep the light storing section in a light storing state constantly. The luminous cloth may be applied not only to the petals 1a and 2a but also to the entire artificial flower including leaves and stems. If it is a phosphorescent cloth widely used now,
Light can be emitted for 20 minutes by irradiation for 30 seconds. Also,
As the light source, conventionally known various illuminations such as an incandescent lamp can be adopted. From the viewpoint of preventing low-temperature ignition of the phosphorescent cloth, a fluorescent lamp with small heat generation is preferable, and a light emitting diode can reduce power consumption. Further, the power source of the light source may be a household power source (100 V) or a portable battery.

According to the artificial flower having the above structure, the petal 1 is usually used.
a. 2a can be enjoyed as a decorative article that emits light. In particular, since the petals 1a of the rose 1 are formed with fine gathers toward the center, the light emission mode of the petals 1a is not limited to the effect of merely emitting light, and the light emission mode of the petals 1a can be varied depending on the portion, and the decoration is more excellent. Can be artificial flowers.

On the other hand, when a power failure occurs due to a disaster or the like, the artificial flowers can be carried to be used as a lighting device, such as a lantern, for illuminating the feet by emitting light from the light storage unit.

In the above-described embodiment, the light source is provided in the car 3. However, as shown in FIG.
By providing a small light source 6 such as a pea ball or glass fiber near the periphery of 2a, it is possible to enjoy the decorativeness of the small light source and to supply a large amount of light energy to the petals, that is, the light storage section. it can. In addition, a small light bulb or light emitting diode is wrapped in a luminous cloth,
When a is set to a · 2a, it is preferable because the light source can be hidden and good appearance can be secured, and the petals 1a and 2a can be efficiently stored in light.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment, in which the present invention is applied to a stuffed animal 7. That is, the stuffed toy 7 has a head, a torso, an arm and the like formed of a phosphorescent cloth, and hands 8 and feet 9 are provided with a light source. Timer control of the light source is the same as in the first embodiment. Even in this application example, usually a stuffed toy 7
Can be used as decorations or children's toys, and can also be used as lighting equipment in an emergency.
The operation and effect when the light sources of the limbs 8 and 9 are wrapped with a phosphorescent cloth are the same as those of the artificial flower.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the phosphorescent cloth is applied to a portable interior decoration, it is usually used as an ornament while being illuminated. It can be used as lighting equipment.

Further, in the case where the luminous cloth is applied to artificial flowers, the decorativeness can be further enhanced, and when the light source is provided near the periphery of the petals, the light source itself has the decorativeness. Thus, light energy can be reliably supplied to the petals serving as the light storage unit. Furthermore, by wrapping the light source with a luminous cloth, the overall decorativeness can be maintained, and the luminous cloth can be efficiently luminous.
