DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a table placed on a table, a counter, a shelf, a showcase, etc., for mounting tableware such as glasses, vases, and display items. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mounting table capable of illuminating a mounted object.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when arranging tableware and the like on a table or a counter, it has been widely practiced to spread a tablecloth or the like and place tableware used thereon.

[0003] Also, in general households, such as restaurants such as bar lounges of hotels, etc., when a glass for pouring a cold beverage is provided, the glass is made of a water-absorbing material capable of absorbing water droplets attached to the glass. A mounting table, a so-called coaster, is used.

[0004] When decorating a vase such as a vase of ikebana on a counter, a shelf at the entrance, or between floors, the vase is placed on a mounting table to enhance the decorative effect.

[0005] In addition, a display device such as a jewelry is placed on a shelf of a showcase, and is displayed on the table, so that the product is distinguished. When placing these tableware, vases, and commodities in a dark place such as in a store, a lighting device such as a spotlight that illuminates the placed object is arranged to make the placed object stand out by light.

[0006]

However, there is no conventional mounting table that emits illuminating light, and a separate illuminating device must be provided. In order to solve this problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting table that can illuminate a mounted object from below.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a mounting table that can be turned on when a load is placed and turned off when the load is lowered.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mounting table capable of freely changing the color of the illumination light from the mounting table. Still further, the present invention provides a mounting table on which a mounting object can be mounted even if the mounting object is wet by water drops or the like.

[0009]

And a light-transmitting switch input member 6 for turning on the switch 4, and a light-transmitting cover sheet 10 that covers the mounting surface 10, and illuminates the mounted object from below. .

The switch 4 comprises a fixed contact 4a and a movable contact 4b opposed to each other, and a pressing boss 7 provided on the switch input section 6 presses the movable contact 4b to turn on the switch. ing.

FIG. 1B is a circuit diagram of the connection circuit 9 shown in FIG. 1A. The circuit 9 is connected to the negative side of the battery 3.
a is a fixed contact 4 of the switch 4 connected in series with the light source 2.
Connected to terminal a. The circuit 9b connected to the positive side of the battery 3 is connected to the movable contact 4b terminal of the switch 4.

The light transmitting cover sheet 8, which covers the mounting surface, transmits light from the light source 2 and is made of a waterproof material. I do not have. In this embodiment, an embodiment is shown in which the entire base 5 including the mounting surface 10 is covered.

The switch input member 6 is formed of a colored light-transmitting film, and can be used as an arbitrary mounting table for illumination light by replacing various colored members. Also, by making the pressing boss 7 provided on the switch input member 6 a transparent member, the light from the light source 2 can be applied to the upper surface of the mounting surface 10.

The light source 2 can reduce power consumption by using a light emitting body such as a light emitting diode. Further, a colored light emitting diode may be used. Still further, a composite color can be obtained by using a plurality of light-emitting diodes of different colors.

The battery 3 has a high voltage per cell, is small, has a small self-discharge, and can be a thin mounting table by using a 3V lithium battery or the like suitable for long-term operation.
