Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a hanging decoration that is hung under the eaves, like a wind chime, during the summer, and a toy firefly is attached to it so that it flashes and emits light just like a natural firefly, thereby enhancing its beauty. It is meant to be used as a kind of ornament to be enjoyed.

Conventional technology Conventionally, it is widely used to make miniature light bulbs blink by equipping them with decorations, but in these methods, the light blinks by automatically connecting and disconnecting the electric circuit using a power device. The blinking interval is constant, so uncertain intermittent light emission like fluorescent light cannot be expected.

In addition, the one published in Utility Model Publication No. 54-313 uses a sophisticated electronic circuit to blink in a way that resembles the real thing, and the one published in Utility Model Publication No. 57-148200 uses independent contact pieces in a ring shape. and in the center,
A swinging contact is provided that is suspended from a conductive suspension string with a strip connected to the lower end, and the annular contact is provided to switch one of the lighting circuits of the lighting lamp.

Problems to be solved by the invention This invention solves the problem of conventional electrically or mechanically complex
With a toy-like simple configuration and low cost, without using sophisticated or expensive circuits, you can lower the eaves etc. like a wind chime in the summer to operate the natural blinking of fireflies, and enjoy the experience of the fireflies blinking and emitting light. This is the purpose.

Means for solving the problem: A pot-shaped container is formed from plastic, and a hanging rod and branches and leaves of appropriate artificial flowers are planted on the lid plate attached to the top of the pot-shaped container, and a light bulb, commonly known as a barley ball, is attached to each of the branches and leaves. Attach an appropriate number of toy fireflies, connect the conductive rod so that it can swing to the metal fittings attached to the bottom of the lid plate, extend the lower end of the conductive rod below the bottom plate of the container, and attach a strip of suspension rod to the lower end. A conductive ring with an opening of the required inner diameter is placed near the inner bottom plate of the container.
A conductive rod is suspended in the opening, and the light bulb of the toy firefly attached to the branches and leaves of the artificial flower is electrically connected to the battery installed in the container, and each time the conductive rod comes into contact with the conductive ring due to the movement of the strip. There is a flashing device for an electric light attached to a toy firefly, which is characterized by a flashing light bulb.

Function Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the hanging rod attached to the container is hung from the eaves, etc., as the strip is swayed by the wind, the conductive rod comes into contact with and separates from the conductive ring, which connects the light bulb and the battery. Since the connection circuit with the toy firefly is interrupted, the barley bulb attached to the toy firefly flashes, producing a flashing light similar to that of a firefly.

Embodiment The present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a pot-shaped container made of a material such as plastic, and a hanging rod 3 and a suitable container are attached to the center of a lid plate 2 attached to the inner upper surface. Branches and leaves 4 of artificial flowers are planted, an appropriate number of toy fireflies 6 each with a light bulb 5, commonly known as a barley bulb, are attached to the branches and leaves, and a conductive rod 8 is attached to a metal fitting 7 attached to the bottom surface of the cover plate 2. are movably connected, the lower end of this conductive rod is extended below the bottom plate of the container 1, a suspension rod 10 of a strip 9 is connected to the lower end, and an opening 11 of a required inner diameter is provided inward of the container 1 near the bottom plate. A conductive ring 12 is disposed, and a conductive rod 8 is suspended in the opening 11, and the light bulb 5 of the toy firefly 6 attached to the branch and leaf of the artificial flower is electrically connected to the battery 13 installed in the container 1. The conductive ring 12 and the conductive rod 8 are connected in the electric circuit 14 as shown in FIG. This is what I did.

Effects Since the present invention is configured as described above, if the hanging rod 3 provided on the container 1 is hung under the eaves, the conductive rod 8 will come into contact with the conductive ring 12 as the strip 9 is swayed by the wind. When the strip is separated, the contact pressure changes from time to time due to the wind pressure applied to the strip, which not only interrupts the connection circuit between the light bulb 5 and the battery 13, but also increases and decreases the flow.
A barley ball attached to a toy firefly blinks when an electric current is applied to it, creating a flashing light similar to that of a firefly, giving the user the real experience of a firefly. The luminescence of the toy fireflies, which resembles the real thing, blends well with the artificial flowers to which the toy fireflies are attached, making them truly elegant decorations that can be hung from eaves like wind chimes in the summer.

Therefore, the present invention does not use conventional electrically or mechanically complicated, sophisticated, and expensive circuits.
With a toy-like simple configuration and low cost, you can operate the blinking of natural fireflies and enjoy the experience of the fireflies blinking and emitting light.
