Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an ornament composed of a combination of a base and a figurine, and more particularly to an ornament in which the figurine moves with the base in a swaying motion.

The principle of okigari-koboshi is widely used in practical products such as toys, writing instruments, and shoehorns (see Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3). All of these have a built-in weight at the lower end of an object such as a toy, writing instrument, or shoehorn, and the lower end surface of the place where the weight is built is formed into a spherical surface. The toy described in Patent Literature 1 is designed to sway when touched by a hand. Further, in the writing implements and shoe horns described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, a weight is used to give the writing implements and the shoehorn independence, thereby improving usability.

On the other hand, for small ornaments as miscellaneous goods, animals such as cats and dogs, plants such as cacti, sweets such as cakes, various dishes, and dolls are placed on a plate-shaped base. They are widely known, and they are useful for soothing the viewer at the entrance, inside the room, and other various places, satisfying the sense of taste, and furthermore, decorating the entrance and the room. there is

This invention was made under the above circumstances. To provide a useful ornament as an item that can satisfy the sense of taste of people. Moreover, it aims at providing the ornament which is useful also as a handiwork.

The figurine according to the present invention consists of a combination of a base and a figurine. The base on which the figurine is fixed to the seating surface formed by part of the outer surface is formed using a solid member heavier than the weight of the figurine, and the base is placed downward. The position of the center of gravity of the base is fixed so as to maintain its independence in an upright posture, and the outer surface of the base other than the seat surface includes a curved surface, and the base is affected by the action of this curved surface. The oscillating motion of the figurine follows the motion of rolling on the placement surface.

According to the figurine constructed in this way, when the figurine in an upright posture or the pedestal is lightly touched with a finger, the base and the figurine are united and sway on the mounting surface. This is based on the principle of okigari-koboshi. Further, in this figurine, since the base is made of a solid member that is heavier than the weight of the figurine, there is no need to use extra weights as seen in Patent Documents 1 to 3 listed above.

In the present invention, the curved surface is selected from a spherical surface or an arcuate surface, and the center of gravity is positioned between the center and the curved surface on the axis of the base that passes through the center of the curved surface in the upright posture. It is possible to employ a configuration that By adopting this configuration, if the curved surface is a spherical surface, the base and the figurine are united and sway on the mounting surface without being restricted in the swaying direction. On the other hand, if the curved surface is an arcuate surface, the base and the figurine are integrally swayed in one direction on the mounting surface.

In the present invention, it is possible to employ a configuration in which the curved surface is a spherical surface, and the seat surface is a flat surface perpendicular to the axis of the base that passes through the center of the curved surface in the upright posture. With this configuration, the flat surface can be easily formed by slicing the sphere and removing the surplus portion.

In the present invention, it is possible to employ a configuration in which the solid member forming the base is made of wood. According to this, the texture and grain of the wood appearing on the base are also useful in soothing and healing people's hearts and feelings.

As described above, according to the figurine according to the present invention, a cute and unique small world created by pictograms on a base formed in a hemispherical or semi-cylindrical shape can be imagined. In addition, when lightly touched with a finger or blown by a weak wind, the figurines and bases sway and sway, not only do they soothe and heal people's hearts and minds, but they also satisfy the sense of taste of the viewer. It is also possible to It is also useful as a work piece.

As shown in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along line III-III in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view along line IV-IV in FIG. 2, FIG. 5 is a front view of base 10, and FIG. is an explanatory diagram of the operation of . FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the principle of the occupant spilling used in the figurine 100 of FIG.

The figurine 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a combination of the base 10 and the figurine 30. The figurine 30 in the illustrated example depicts an animal 33 in the shape of a cat resting next to a flower 32 in the shape of a clover grown in a meadow 31 . The flowers 32, their stems 34, and the grassland 31 are represented by covering their core materials with green fibers, and the animals 33 are represented by white, red, and black fibers. A thin twisted wire is used as the core material of the stem 34 of the flower 32 .

As shown in FIG. 2, the fibers 35 expressing the grassland 31 cover a cushioning material 36 such as a sponge raised in a dome shape, and the cushioning material 36 is wrapped around the edges 37 of the fibers 35. - 特許庁The animal 33 is fixed to the fiber 35 using an adhesive. Also, the wire forming the stem 34 penetrates the central portion of the fiber 35 and the cushioning material 36 and protrudes to the rear side thereof, and the protruding portion 38 is bent into an L shape as shown in FIGS. bending. This prevents the stem 34 from slipping out of the grassland 31 . As a means for preventing the stem 34 from slipping out of the grassland 31, the projecting portion 38 may be rounded as shown in FIG.

The figurine 30 described above is formed by covering the entire rear surface of the cushioning material 36 and the edges 37 of the fibers 35 expressing the grassland 31 with the circular flat seat surface 11 which is a part of the outer surface of the base 10 . It is fixed in the center using an adhesive.

The figurine 100 having the configuration described above is well adapted to individual manual craftsmanship. Therefore, this figurine 100 is useful as a handiwork.

On the other hand, the base 10 has a curved surface on its outer surface except for the seat surface 11 . That is, as shown in detail in FIG. It is formed by a curved surface with a rising surface 13 that continues smoothly. The base 10 is formed using a solid member that is heavier than the weight of the pictogram 30, and the position of the center of gravity (not shown in FIG. 5) is as shown in FIG. It is set at a position that maintains its independence in an upright posture with the base 10 facing down.

When the base 10 of the figurine 100 constructed in this manner is placed on a flat mounting surface 200 as indicated by the solid line in FIG. 7, the figurine 100 stands upright on its own. From this state, when the base 10 and the figurine 30 are lightly touched with a fingertip and tilted, the base 10 rolls on the mounting surface 200 due to the action of the spherical surface 12 according to the principle of the rise and drop, causing the figurine 30 to roll. , and the base 10 and the figurine 30 are united to sway like an arrow while reducing the swaying width, and finally stand upright and stop. In FIG. 7, a state in which the base 10 and the figurine 30 are lightly touched with a fingertip and tilted is shown by a virtual line.

As described above, according to this figurine 100, a cute and unique small world created by the figurine 30 on the partially spherical base 10 can be imagined. The blown figurine 30 and the base 10 are swayed to not only soothe and heal the hearts and minds of people, but also satisfy the viewer's sense of taste. Moreover, since the base 10 is formed of a solid member, it is not necessary to provide the base 10 with an extra member such as a weight.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the principle of spit-up will be briefly described. In FIG. 7, symbol C indicates the center of spherical surface 12 of base 10, symbol G indicates the center of gravity of figurine 100, and downward force F corresponding to the weight of base 10 is always applied to center of gravity G. there is As can be seen from the figure, since the base 10 is formed using a solid member that is heavier than the figurine 30, when the figurine 100 is in an upright position, the axis L of the base 10 is aligned with the base. It extends vertically through the center C of the spherical surface (curved surface) 12 forming the bottom surface of the central part of 10, and the center of gravity G is located between the center C and the spherical surface (curved surface) 12 on the axis L. . Moreover, the seat surface 11 is perpendicular to the axis L. As shown in FIG. When the figurine 100 is tilted as indicated by the imaginary line in the figure by lightly touching the base 10 and the figurine 30 from this upright position, the axis L passing through the center C of the spherical surface 12 is also tilted and the center of gravity is tilted. G shifts to the side of center C. Therefore, a downward force F applied to the center of gravity G acts to restore the base 10 to the vertical posture, and this force causes the base 10 to approach the vertical posture. Once the base 10 is tilted beyond the vertical position to work. Such an operation is repeated, and the base 10 and the figurine 30 unite and oscillate as indicated by the arrow while reducing the swaying width, and finally stand upright and stop. do.

8 is a front view showing a modification of the base 10, and FIG. 9 is a front view showing another modification of the base 10. As shown in FIG.

The modification of FIG. 8 has a flat bearing surface 11 and a spherical surface 12 with the remaining portion as a base 10 by slicing a solid sphere and removing more than half of the portion (the portion indicated by the phantom line). It is equivalent to the one that caused In the modification of FIG. 9, a solid sphere is cut into rings, half of which is removed (the portion indicated by the phantom line), and the other half is used as a base 10 to form a flat bearing surface 11 and a spherical surface 12. It is equivalent to what is equipped.

FIG. 10 is a front view showing still another modification of the base 10. As shown in FIG. Although FIGS. 1 to 9 illustrate examples in which the base 10 has a spherical surface 12, this point may have an arcuate surface 14 like the base 10 shown in FIG. . Here, if the base 10 has the spherical surface 12, the base 10 and the pictorial object 30 are integrated and swayed on the mounting surface without being restricted in the swaying direction. If the base 10 has the arcuate surface 14, the base 10 and the figurine 30 are united and sway in a fixed direction on the mounting surface.

In the figurine 100 described above, wood can be suitably used as the solid member forming the base 10, but it is of course possible to use metal or resin instead of wood. If the solid member forming the base 10 is made of wood, there is an advantage that the texture and wood grain of the wood appearing on the base 10 are useful for softening and healing people's hearts and feelings.

In the figurine 100 according to the present invention, the figurine 30 is not limited to those described above, and can be various objects such as dogs and other animals, plants such as flowers and trees, minerals such as stones, landscapes, and characters. is of course possible. In addition, it is desirable that the ornament 100 according to the present invention has a height of about 8 to 10 cm. It has the advantage of being able to
