In addition, the outer side portion 23 of the blade 2 is configured as a plate thickness surface or a surface having an acute angle with respect to a surface along the circumferential direction.

In the doll constructed as described above, FIG.
As shown in (a), when the light source part 4 of the blade 2 is fitted into the receiving part 3 of the doll body 1 to integrate the blade 2 and the doll body 1, at the same time, the conductor piece 43 enters the groove 32. Then, the electrodes are electrically connected to the electrodes of the battery 5. As a result, the circuit board 47 is electrically connected to the battery 5 and is in a state in which power is supplied. When the switch 45 is turned on, the light emitting diode 44 is energized and the light emitting diode 44 blinks. As shown in FIG. 3, the light emitted by the light emitting diode 44 is transmitted through the triangular groove 22 of the intermediate portion 21 of the blade 2 through the transparent resin forming the blade, and an acute angle provided on the peripheral portion thereof. The light is reflected or transmitted by the outer side portion 23 of the surface and is emitted to the outside. Therefore, light is not emitted from the surface of the blade 2, but the outer side portion 23 along the contour is emitted in a continuous linear shape or an intermittent linear shape, and the light emitting diode 4
Since these lights are blinked in accordance with the blinking of 4, the wing 2 will appear to shine in a fantasy state, and the illumination effect of the doll can be enhanced.

Here, if the blade 2 is made of a transparent white material, the emission color of the light emitting diode 44 is emitted from the blade 2 as it is, but if a coloring material is used for the blade 2 itself, the light emitting diode is used. Light in which the emission color of 44 and the color of the blade 2 are mixed is emitted. Further, as in the doll shown in FIG. 4, if a fine colored paint body 6 is mixed inside the blade 2, the light traveling in the blade 2 is reflected by these colored paint bodies 6 and the blade 2 Since it is emitted to the outside of
A glittering illumination effect can be obtained.

Alternatively, like the doll shown in FIG.
Part of the light traveling in the blade 2 is provided by providing dot-shaped recesses having a wedge-shaped cross section, linear recessed grooves, or recessed grooves 7 having an arbitrary pattern at a plurality of positions on the surface of the blade. Since the light is reflected on the inner surfaces of these recesses and grooves 7 and leaks to the outside from the surface on the opposite side of the blade 2, and this portion shines brightly,
It is possible to emit light in the shape of a dot or a line, or a desired pattern on a part of the blade 2, and to obtain another illumination effect. In this case, depending on the angle of the groove 7, light may be refracted on the surface of the groove 7 and emitted to the outside.

Further, as in the doll of FIG. 6, the surface of the blade 2 is partially or entirely surface-textured, or fine irregularities are formed to form the surface as a rough surface 8.
Light traveling in the blade 2 is refracted in random directions on these rough surfaces and emitted to the outside of the blade 2,
It is also possible to make the surface of the rough surface 8 brightly emit light. Of course, the above-mentioned colored paint body 6, concave groove 7, rough surface 8
Alternatively, one light-transmitting body may be made to emit light by mixing the light-emitting technique consisting of.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and particularly shows the internal structure of the light source section. The same parts as those in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, a coin-type battery 5A is used as a battery, and the battery 5A is integrated inside the case 41 of the light source unit 4 together with the circuit board 47. Therefore, the light emitting diode 44 can be caused to emit light only by the light source section 4 to cause the blade 2 to be illuminated. Therefore, it is not necessary to incorporate a battery in the doll body 1, and it is sufficient to provide only the receiving portion 3 into which the light source portion 4 of the blade 2 is fitted. The same blade can be attached to all doll bodies in common. Further, also in the blade 2, it is possible to use only the light source unit 4 in common and arbitrarily select and use blades having different shapes and types.

Further, in the present invention, a flexible thin light-transmitting body is made to shine, but this member does not necessarily have to be the wing of the doll as shown in each of the above-mentioned embodiments. It is also possible to apply the light-transmitting body according to the present invention to a large ear configured as the light-transmitting body according to the present invention, or to the dorsal fin of a monster or a fish doll.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, the blade is formed as a ribbon 2A, the light source section 4A is constituted by a circular case, and a clip member 9 such as a safety pin is attached to the light source section, so that the human It can also be configured as an accessory consisting of a glowing ribbon that is attached to and detached from the clothes. Of course, the doll as shown in each of the above-described embodiments can also be used as a shining doll-type accessory by attaching a clip member to a part thereof.

Further, the light emitting diode is provided with a plurality of light emitting diodes which emit different colored lights, and these are selectively or simultaneously emitted to sequentially emit different colors or emit light in a multicolor state. You can configure it to.
Further, a vibration sensor or a sound sensor may be provided on the circuit board so that the blades, the doll body to which the blades are attached, or the like emits light when vibration is applied or sound is detected. In addition, change the blinking time with a timer or configure the switch with a push switch to turn the switch on.
You may make it light up only for a fixed time after it is made.

Further, the switch may be constituted by a part of the doll body. For example, in the case of the doll in FIG. 1, moving the arm up and down turns on the switch built in the doll body.
It may be turned off. Alternatively, pull the arm or leg or push it in to turn the switch on or off.
You may make it F. In this case, the drawing and pushing may be performed in a plurality of steps, and the light emitting state may be switched according to the number of steps of the drawing and pushing.

Although various application sequences have been described above,
The present invention introduces the light of the light-emitting diode provided in the light source part into a part of a light-transmitting body made of a light-transmitting thin member, and emits the light from the other part of the light-transmitting body to achieve an illumination effect. The goods to be obtained are not limited to dolls and accessories as described above, but can be applied to various kinds of goods.
