Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a decorative device for moving artificial flowers, ornaments, etc. placed in everyday living spaces as ornamental interiors by a drive mechanism using a motor as a power source.

(Prior Art and Object of the Invention) Artificial flowers and the like are generally placed in living spaces as ornamental interior decorations.

However, recently, attempts have been made to make these things more surprising by adding some kind of value to them, rather than just looking at them and admiring them.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to propose a decorative device that can give unexpectedness and surprise by changing the external shape of an object that would normally remain unchanged. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a means for solving the above problems, the decoration device according to the present invention includes a sensor switch using a sensor that senses sound, light, infrared rays, etc.
A core material connected to the drive mechanism and having at least one bent portion is protruded from a main body of the device housing a motor, a drive mechanism using the motor as a power source, and a power supply section, and the core material has a deformable hollow space. In addition to loosely inserting the decorative part, the device body is further covered with an elastic member.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As configured above, according to the decorative device, the bendable core material can be moved by the drive mechanism, so that a decorative object having, for example, a hollow shaft portion can be loosely inserted into the core material. If the core material is to be rotated, the sensor switch detects sound, light, infrared rays, etc. and turns on, and the drive mechanism rotates the core material, so the external shape of the object that normally would not change shape. By changing the content, it is possible to give surprise and surprise to the viewer.

In addition, since the elastic member around the main body of the device contracts, it can be easily stored in storage containers of different sizes, making it possible to replace the device.
This greatly expands the range of storage container sizes and designs you can choose from.

Further, since the elastic member can dampen the noise generated by the motor and drive mechanism during operation, even if the drive circuit of the motor is provided with a sensor switch that detects sound, for example, the decoration caused by the operation sound can be prevented. Malfunctions of the device can be prevented.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral A designates a decorative device according to the invention. This decoration device A is a sensor switch 1 formed by a sound sensor that detects sound and operates.
A device main body a consisting of a motor 2, a rotational drive mechanism powered by the motor 2, and a power supply section 4 consisting of a dry battery, and a bendable metal core protruding above the device main body a. It is composed of 3 and 3. Note that the core material 3 only needs to have a bent portion formed in a part thereof, and may be of a type that cannot be bent freely.

The rotational drive mechanism is disposed within the casing 5 and includes a gear 6 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 2.
It is composed of a gear 8 fixed to a support shaft 7 meshed with the gear 8, and a gear 10 fixed to the lower end of the core material 3 meshed with a gear 9 arranged parallel to the gear 8. There is. The tip of the core material 3 protrudes from the upper part of the casing 5. Thereby, the bendable core material 3 can be rotated as the motor 2 rotates.

The motor 2 is disposed on one side of the lower part of the casing 5, and the power source section 4 is disposed on the side of the casing 5 opposite to the motor 2.
The exterior of the device main body a is covered with an elastic member 11 made of sponge, and this elastic member 11 has a substantially inverted truncated cone shape.
Note that the elastic member 11 may be provided at least on the outer peripheral portion of the device main body a.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a lid member, and this lid member 12 is disposed on the upper surface of the elastic member 11 and has the same shape as the elastic member 11. A mounting shaft 13, which surrounds the core material 3 and is provided on the upper surface of the casing 5, is fitted into the fitting hole 12a provided in the center in a protruding state. Further, the lid member 12 is provided with the sensor switch 1 and the main switch 14.

The sensor switch 1, motor 2, and main switch 14 of the power supply section 4 are electrically connected as shown in FIG. As a result, the motor 2 continues to operate for a certain period of time based on the sound detected by the sensor switch 1.

In addition to the above-mentioned drive circuit, for example, the motor rotates due to the sound of the first sensor switch,
A circuit may be constructed in which the motor is alternately turned on and off, such that the motor stops when the next sound sense is heard, and then rotates when the next sound sound is heard.

Since the decoration device A is configured as described above, when using it, first store the decoration device A in the storage container 15 formed to imitate a flowerpot, and then place the decoration device A in the upper part of the device body a. A decorative part 16 (artificial flower) is installed on the protruding meandering core material 3. This decorative part 16 is formed to imitate a tulip, and a flower part 16a and a stem part 16b to which leaves 16c, 16c... are integrally attached are made of soft synthetic resin, and the stem part 16b is hollow. The core material 3 is loosely inserted therein. And the stem portion 16
The lower part of b is fitted into the mounting shaft 13. Next, turn on the main switch 13. When a predetermined volume of sound is detected by the sensor switch 1, the motor 2 rotates. A gear 8 of a rotational drive mechanism is meshed with the gear 6 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 2, so that the rotational drive mechanism is driven and the bendable core material 3 is made of a deformable material. It can be rotated within the stem 16b.

By the way, when the meandering core member 3 rotates, the stem portion 16b of the decorative portion moves in a undulating manner in accordance with the meandering shape, which can give a surprising and surprising change to the viewer.

Further, since the device body a is also covered with the elastic member 11, it can be freely contracted in the radial direction.
Since it can be stored comfortably in storage containers of different sizes, it is possible to exchange the storage container, and the range of choices in the size and design of storage containers can be greatly expanded.

Furthermore, since the elastic member 11 has a soundproofing function against the operating sounds of the motor 2 and the rotary drive mechanism, the sensor switch 1 of the sound sensor does not react to internal operating sounds, thereby preventing the decorative device from malfunctioning. can.

Note that the storage container 15 that stores the decoration device A is not limited to a flower pot, but may be a basket, a flower vase, or the like. Further, the decorative portion 16 is not limited to flowers, but may also be a doll or the like. Further, the sensor switch may turn on the motor drive circuit for a short period of time, or may turn on and off repeatedly each time it senses sound, heat, or the like. Furthermore, the drive mechanism is not limited to a rotational drive mechanism. It may also be a reciprocating drive mechanism.
