JPH0361100A - Object to be admired which changes its shape - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an object which has an effect to keep an appreciator amused by changing its shape by temperature and thereby fascinating him. CONSTITUTION:A shape memory alloy 2 changes its form due to an ambient temperature and for example, petals 1 made of the alloy close, if temperature is low, and open if temperature is high. In this case, the alloy is suitable to the preparation of an artificial flower which does not break, if the form changes because the change of the petals is significant. Furthermore, the petals open as the shape memory alloy 20 is warmed by the rising sun, if the artificial flower is deposited at a place where the beam comes in. If the solar heat is insignificant, the artificial flower is placed in a vessel to provide a green room effect. Another way is to heat the flower using a heater which is energized if a photosensor detects light.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an ornamental object that changes shape, and particularly to an ornamental object that changes shape and is suitable for artificial flowers or dried flowers.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as ornamentals related to artificial flowers and dried flowers, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-64466, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-19307
As described in Japanese Patent No. 8, there is an ornamental object in which dried fresh flowers are placed in a container and the container is sealed.

Law [Problem to be solved by the invention] The above-mentioned prior art does not take into consideration changing the shape of the ornamental object, and there is a problem in that the viewer is forced to always admire the same shaped object, which makes it easy to get bored. Ta.

An object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental object whose shape can be changed to make it more fun and dreamy, and which can be viewed for a long period of time without getting bored of the viewer.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the object is composed of a variable means whose shape changes depending on the temperature, and an object to be admired provided with the variable means.

[For production]

If you attach a variable means to the petals, you can change the state from bud to bloom as the temperature changes, or if you attach a variable means to the stem, you can change the position of the flower by changing the temperature. Because it changes, it becomes a more fun and dreamy ornamental object, and viewers can enjoy it for a long time without getting bored.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

2 is a petal, 2 is a shape memory alloy which is a variable means 3 attached to the petal 1, and 3 is a stem. The ornamental object in this case is an artificial flower, and the shape memory alloy 2 deforms depending on the ambient temperature. For example, when the temperature is low, the petals 1 deform as shown in FIG. 1, and when the temperature rises, the petals 1 deform. As shown in Figure 2, the petal 1 is deformed so as to bloom.

In this case, since the deformation of the petals l is large, it is suitable for artificial flowers that do not break even when deformed. Furthermore, by placing this artificial flower in a sunny place, when the sun comes out after dawn, the shape memory alloy 2 is warmed by the heat of the sun, allowing it to bloom as shown in FIG. 2. When the solar heat is weak, artificial flowers can be placed in a container and used like a greenhouse to provide temperature.Also, when the optical sensor detects light, the heater is energized and the heater is activated. It may also be heated. Further, the optical sensor and heater may be incorporated into the container and operated.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

4 is a flower, 5 is a stem made of shape memory alloy that is a variable means, and 6 is a vase. In this case, the flower 4 is a dried flower, and is attached to the stem 5 with adhesive or the like. Further, a heater (not shown) is provided in the vase 6, and the stem 5 can be heated.

When the stem 5 is heated by the heater I, the stem 5 deforms and the arrangement of the flowers 4 is changed as shown in Fig. 3, and when the heater heating is stopped, the stem 5 returns to its original shape as shown in Fig. 4. Return to and change the position of flower 4.

As described above, according to these embodiments, the degree of opening of the flowers, the arrangement of the flowers, etc. change, and the flowers can be admired for a long period of time without getting bored. In addition, the flowers can be opened and closed by the sunlight, giving them the appearance of natural flowers.

Also, if you change the set temperature for each shape memory alloy, the shape will change depending on the temperature change, making it even more fun.

In this embodiment, a shape memory alloy is used as an example of the variable means, but a bimetal or the like may also be used.

Also, when attaching variable means to dry flowers,
It is best to connect them at invisible parts of the stems or attach them in areas where the amount of change is small, and it is best to connect or attach variable means when the flowers are fresh and then dry them.

In this case, when drying, it is necessary to carry out the drying within a constant range throughout so as not to cause a change of m degrees.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the shape can be changed depending on the temperature,
It is possible to make the ornamental object more fun and dreamy, and it has the effect of allowing the viewer to enjoy it for a long period of time without getting bored.
