Description

  The present invention relates to an indoor / outdoor decoration material having a healing effect and appeal, in which an indoor and outdoor decoration material such as a goodwill or a curtain is irradiated with light containing ultraviolet rays to give a fluorescence function and a design process.

  In the conventional case, since the curtains and the goodwill itself do not have the effect of emitting light, for example, in the case of goodwill, it is difficult to see at night, and for that purpose, the pictures and characters written on the goodwill with a white lamp are appealing. Also, the curtains were difficult to see when the pictures and letters were dark, and there was nothing but to see under the light. In general, since these are not provided with other functions, they are often used for partitioning or blindfolding.

  In the conventional products, since the curtains and the goodwill itself do not have the effect of emitting light, especially in the case of goodwill, it is difficult to see at night and an appealing effect cannot be expected. In addition, since no other functions are provided, it is often used for partitioning or blindfolding, and it cannot be expected that demand will increase due to the healing effect.

  Using a fluorescent pigment, the interior and exterior decoration materials such as curtains and goodwill have a function to emit light, making the interior and exterior decoration materials such as curtains and goodwill easier to see and appealing, and also has a healing effect. It shall be.

  When a fabric including an optical fiber is used, the optical fiber can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and the light can be made to emit fluorescence from a picture or character formed with a pigment containing a phosphor in the fabric. Alternatively, the fabric itself emits light by allowing light incident from the optical fiber to pass through the optical fiber through visible light.

  When knitting into a fabric using an optical fiber, the diameter of the optical fiber is 2 mm or less, preferably 1 mm or less, which is easy to sew, and the produced fabric is soft and preferable. In the case of knitting using an optical fiber, the design can be increased by knitting together with fibers such as hemp, nylon, polyethylene, polyester, etc., as compared to knitting using only an optical fiber alone. In addition, it is also possible to increase the design property by overlapping a fabric made of optical fiber with a fabric made of fiber made of general hemp or nylon, etc. that does not contain an optical fiber. In particular, the amount of fluorescence emitted to one side can be increased by overlaying a fabric comprising a reflective film such as aluminum or glass on the fabric made of an optical fiber.

  As a method of passing light through the optical fiber knitted in the fabric, an optical waveguide rod is installed at the end of the fabric, and the end or part of the optical fiber of the fabric is contacted or bonded to the rod of the optical waveguide, The light flowing through the rod is guided to the optical fiber of the fabric. Such an optical fiber may generally be a glass-based optical fiber mainly composed of SiO 2 such as quartz glass, or a plastic optical fiber.

  Colors can be applied to optical fiber fabrics by applying fluorescent paint or pigment paint to the optical fiber before knitting the optical fiber, adding pigment or fluorescent pigment to the optical fiber material, coloring the optical fiber itself, It is intended to give out. Alternatively, a method using screen printing, inkjet, spraying, brushing, or the like applied to a fabric knitted with an optical fiber may be used.

  When optical fiber is not included, general fabric made of hemp, cotton, silk, wool, and chemical fiber is mixed with organic pigments, inorganic pigments and pigments such as colorants that contain phosphors that emit fluorescence by ultraviolet rays. Is applied as a pattern by screen printing, spray printing, brush, thermal transfer printing, ink jet printing or the like, and the cloth is made to emit fluorescence by a lamp containing ultraviolet rays.

Organic phosphors include diaminostilbene disulfonic acid derivatives, imidazole derivatives, coumarin derivatives, derivatives such as triazole, carbazole, pyridine, naphthalic acid and imidazolone, dyes such as fluorescein and eosin, and benzene rings such as anthracene. A compound having a membered ring or a five-membered ring can be used. The color condition can be changed by mixing these phosphors with pigments such as organic dyes, inorganic dyes, and colorants, and the color condition can also be changed by applying light including ultraviolet rays. The paint containing this phosphor is applied to a cloth that contains optical fiber or general cloth that does not contain optical fiber. A picture or letter is formed on the surface of the cloth, and this cloth is irradiated with light containing ultraviolet rays. In this way, fluorescence is emitted.

  By forming a fabric using an optical fiber in this way, it is possible to emit light and fluorescence from the fabric itself, or a general fabric is designed with a paint containing a fluorescent pigment, and ultraviolet light is applied to this phosphor. Fluorescent light can be emitted with a lamp containing, and appeal can be enhanced even in dimly lit places at night. It also has a healing effect.

Using a pigment that emits fluorescence, the interior and exterior decoration materials such as curtains and goodwill have a function to emit light, making the interior and exterior decoration materials such as curtains and goodwill easier to see and enhance appeal, and also have a healing effect It shall be. By using such a cloth, it is possible to continuously expand demand by making it have a healing effect other than partitioning and blindfolding use, and synthetic fiber products that tend to be inorganic become familiar products, natural dyeing It is possible to supply highly functional products compared to only products.
In addition, it is possible to apply the same materials and similar color materials (same materials / different materials) to other products such as wall products and miscellaneous goods other than goodwill and curtains, products used for bedding and floors, etc., so the entire space It is possible to produce a feeling of peace and functional beauty. By using various fluorescent colors, it is possible to increase the color variation and cope with individual preferences, and it is possible to continuously increase demand in total development.
