Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a decorative body using glass, which is mainly arranged on decorative structures such as gates, windows, fences, and shades of lighting equipment, and the use of this decorative body. This relates to decorative structures.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, there have been metal gates, windows, and fences. These gates and doors are decorated, but the metal itself is difficult to process, making it impossible to create complex or more beautiful decorations.

Therefore, the present applicant previously proposed a ``method for forming edges of lead, etc. of glass pieces for stained glass'' which can be used for decoration of gates, windows, fences, etc. (Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-46902).

However, with this method, only plate-shaped glass pieces can be used, and therefore three-dimensionally formed glass bodies such as spherical shapes cannot be used, making it difficult to form a decorative body with a three-dimensional effect. Therefore, it has not been possible to make the appearance of the decorative body more beautiful, luxurious, and luxurious.

[Object of the Invention] Therefore, the present invention provides a three-dimensional and aesthetically pleasing decorative body, and a decorative structure using this decorative body.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The decorative body according to claim 1 of the present invention is such that the maximum peripheral wall portion of the three-dimensionally formed glass body, such as a spherical or oval shape, is made of a cast body of lead or a lead alloy to prevent it from coming off. The glass body is held in place and fixed with the glass body exposed from the cast body.

In the decorative body according to claim 2 of the present invention, a cast body of lead or lead alloy has a shape embodying a still life, an animal, etc., and a plurality of three-dimensionally formed glass bodies of approximately spherical shape, irregular shape, etc. are attached to this cast body. It is something that is scattered.

The decorative structure according to claim 3 is a decorative structure such as a metal gate, window, fence, shade of a lighting fixture, etc., on which the decorative body according to claim 1 or 2 is arranged, Alternatively, it is formed by a cast body of lead alloy connected to other parts by soldering.

[Function] With the decorative body having the above structure, since the glass body is held by the cast body, there is no wobbling, and since the glass body is three-dimensionally formed, it is less likely to break than a glass plate.

Cast bodies made of lead or lead alloys can be cast into any shape, and the shape of the glass body can also be formed into any shape, and the contrast between the lead or lead alloy and the glass body creates an excellent three-dimensional effect. A decorative effect can be obtained.

In addition, since the cast body is made of lead or lead alloy,
It is easy to solder to decorative structures such as metal gates, windows, fences, and shades of lighting equipment.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

10 is a decorative body of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this decorative body 10 has the shape of a grape, and the part corresponding to the fruit of the grape is composed of a plurality of transparent colored spherical glass bodies 12, and is a cast body made of lead alloy. 14 holding parts 14
a holds and connects these glass bodies 12 and has the shape of a bunch of grapes.

As shown in FIG. 2, a lead alloy is cast along the outer portion 12a of the large diameter portion of the spherical glass body 12, and this lead alloy is also cast into the slightly smaller diameter portion of the large diameter portion. As a result, the glass body 12 is held and does not come off from the holding portion 14a of the cast body 14.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this decorative body 10 is cast from a lead alloy at the tip of a vine branch 17 provided inside a metal gate frame 16, 18. The bodies 14 are connected by soldering. In this case, the branch portion 17 is integrally formed with the metal frame by casting.

Gates 16 and 18 to which this decorative body 10 is connected
is studded with spherical glass bodies 12, and the contrast between the lead or lead alloy and the glass bodies and the three-dimensional effect give it an unprecedented sense of luxury. Since the glass body 12 is held by the lead alloy cast body 14, there is no risk of it coming off due to vibrations when the gates 16, 18 are opened and closed. Furthermore, since the cast body 14 is made of a lead alloy, it has the advantage that it can be easily attached to metal gates, windows, etc. by soldering.

Next, the method for manufacturing the decorative body 10 having the above structure will be explained in the fifth step.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

20 is a disc-shaped lower mold plate for casting, 22 is an upper mold plate that overlaps this lower mold plate, and these upper and lower mold plates 2
The joint surfaces 0 and 22 are made of a heat-resistant heat insulating material made of rubber. A sprue 24 for pouring molten lead alloy is provided in the center of the upper template 20.

A recess 2 slightly larger than the planar shape of the decorative body 10 is provided on the upper surface of the lower template 22 and on the lower surface of the upper template 20.
6 is provided in two places. The recesses 26 correspond to the decorative body 10 to be formed, and in the case of this embodiment, one recess 26 has the shape of the upper part of a bunch of grapes, and the other recesses 26 have the shape of the upper part of a bunch of grapes. It is shaped like the lower part of the tassel.

The recess 26 is also provided with a fitting portion 28 of the hemispherical recess 26 into which the glass body 12 is fitted. A runner 30 is formed radially from the center of the upper and lower mold plates 20, 22 to the recess 26. 32 and 34 are a pair of positioning protrusions and holes for joining the upper and lower mold plates 20 and 22.

The manufacturing process of the decorative body 10 using the upper and lower mold plates 20 and 22 will be described below.

The glass body 12 is fitted into the fitting part 28 of each recess 26 of the lower mold plate 22. In that case, the spherical glass body 12 only needs to be large enough to be fitted into the fitting portion 28, and there may be some dimensional error. Next, the upper mold plate 20 is made to match the lower mold plate 22 by aligning the protrusion 32 and the hole 34, and the lower mold plate 20
Overlay on. Thereafter, the lower mold plate 22 and the upper mold plate 20 are rotated while applying pressure while being aligned, and the molten lead alloy (or lead) is applied to the upper mold plate 20.
