Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative body made of a synthetic resin which can be used alone or in a stack, and particularly, as an interior, a vase for ikebana, artificial flowers, dried flowers and the like, lighting equipment, Alternatively, the present invention relates to a decorative body made of a synthetic resin which can be used as an interior decoration item and, for outdoor use, can be used as an advertising tower, a signboard, or the like placed in a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, as an interior article, if it has a unique design, it can be used as a vase, a part of a lighting device, or an advertising tower which is placed in a store. Various possibilities have been devised. For example, taking a vase as an example, its shape is
Vases are the most typical ones, and there are also deep cylinders that can be thrown in, shallow trays that use Kenzan, and so on. Further, in order to impart a design characteristic to the vase itself, some vase have a peculiar shape, for example, a shape close to a sphere.

Since such a spherical vase itself can be expected to have a design effect, it is useful under certain conditions of use, but it has the following problems. Even spherical vases can be easily damaged if they are made of earthenware. Applications other than vase, such as indoor or outdoor decorations,
It is difficult to apply to some lighting fixtures (decorative shades). It's too small to use such a vase as an advertising tower,
Even if it is placed in a store, it cannot attract much attention, especially at night.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present inventor considered to provide a decorative body made of synthetic resin, which is expected to have a design effect, is easy to manufacture, and can be manufactured inexpensively without fear of damage. However, it has been found that forming the main body of the ornamental body into a spherical shape is the most preferable in terms of design and in the case of considering a single use or a plurality of assembled use modes. Although there is no technical problem in constructing the main body in a spherical shape in this way, when trying to make it possible to stack a plurality of decorative bodies (which can also be an advertising tower because they can be made larger), Since its outer shape is spherical, there is a problem that it is difficult to stack it stably.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem at the time of stacking, the bottom of the spherical decorative body is chamfered to be formed flat, while the top of the decorative body is also flattened, and another decorative body having the same structure is stacked. However, in the stacking method (building method) with such a structure, the connection state and the position of the upper and lower decorative bodies are not stable, and there is a risk that they will slip off slightly due to vibration and a large vibration will occur. There was a new problem that it would easily fall if something hits it.

The present invention was developed to solve such problems, and although it is made of an inexpensive synthetic resin, it can be used as a vase, a lighting fixture, or an advertising tower. It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative body made of synthetic resin which can be used stably even when used in combination with a plurality of combinations and is excellent in design.

[0007]

The decorative body made of synthetic resin according to the present invention adopts the following means in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the decorative body according to the present invention is made of synthetic resin and has a main body having a spherical outer shape and a hollow inside. The top has an opening extending to the cylindrical fitting portion extending inward, and the lower surface of the bottom of the main body has a connecting projection removably fitted to the cylindrical fitting portion. Is provided so as to project, and an enclosing wall portion that surrounds the connecting projection and can abut the spherical surface of the top portion on the lower surface is provided.

In the ornamental body, it is preferable that the main body is constructed by integrally joining a hemispherical shell-shaped upper divided body and a lower divided body made of synthetic resin at their open ends.

In each of the ornaments, the cylindrical fitting portion may be omitted at the top and only the opening may be provided. In that case, the connecting projection can be fitted into the opening. It

In the ornamental body, as an example of the surrounding wall portion, a pedestal projecting from the bottom surface of the bottom of the main body in a state of flexing the connecting projection is formed, and the lower end of the pedestal is the connecting projection. The one that is configured to match the lower end position or be located on the lower side thereof can be mentioned. As another aspect of the surrounding wall portion, the lower end portion of the bottom portion is recessed, the lower surface thereof is formed into a concave surface that matches the spherical surface of the top portion, and the lower end of the surrounding wall portion matches the lower end position of the connecting projection. Or, the one configured so as to exist on the lower side can be cited.

In each of the ornaments, it is preferable that the bottom side portion of the main body is formed thick. Alternatively, the main body may be made of a transparent or translucent resin that transmits light rays, and the opening provided at the top may serve as the bulb holding portion.

[0013]

The decorative body according to the present invention comprises a main body having a spherical outer shape and a hollow inside, and has an opening connected to a cylindrical fitting portion extending inward at the top or only the opening. Also, the bottom surface of the bottom of the main body has a connecting projection that can be removably fitted in the cylindrical fitting portion or opening, and the connecting projection is surrounded and bent. Since the structure has the surrounding wall that can abut the spherical surface of the top, the decorative bodies are stacked by fitting the connecting projections of the bottom of the main body into the tubular fitting portion (or opening) of the top of the main body. The lower surface of the surrounding wall portion abuts on the spherical surface of the top of the main body, and the upper and lower layers are stacked extremely stably, and the appearance of a gourd-like design is exhibited. Such stacking can be done in 2 steps, 3 steps or 4 steps depending on the design balance when installed indoors or outdoors.
An appropriate number of steps such as steps can be used. And when using this stacked thing as a vase, an ikebana, an artificial flower, a dried flower, etc. can be inserted in the opening 2 of the main body 1 of the uppermost stacked.

It is to be noted that the plurality of decorative bodies can be stacked arbitrarily to give a variation in design, and such an overall design can be used as an opening or a cylinder fitting portion and a connecting projection. Due to the fitting of the two, they do not easily slip or collapse.

Desired characters and figures are written in advance on the surface of the main body, and the main bodies are stacked in a required order, so that, for example, the advertisement characters are lined up and down, and the stacked ones are placed in the advertising tower. Can be used as

Further, since the main body 1 is small by itself, it is easy to carry, and the vase and the stacking advertising tower can be easily assembled by stacking them at a required place. It is also easy to disassemble and store it. At the time of storage, the index finger is inserted into the opening of the cylindrical fitting portion and lifted by hand, so that it can be carried stably and easily.

Further, the main body is made of a transparent or translucent resin which transmits light rays, and the opening provided at the top serves as a light bulb holding portion, so that the decorative body can be used as a lighting fixture. By using this lighting device not only as a lighting device but also as the uppermost one of the above advertising tower, the main body of the uppermost advertising tower can emit light, and the advertising effect can be further enhanced. .

Especially when the bottom side portion of the main body is formed to be thick, the center of gravity of the ornament can be lowered without specially containing a weight such as sand inside the main body. Therefore, even if the diameter of the lower end of the surrounding wall portion is small, the ornaments can be stably installed or the ornaments can be stably stacked on each other.
