Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to tableware that can play music, and is something that will please everyone as it allows the user to enjoy eating while listening to the music played from the tableware in front of him.

It is a delightful sight to see children happily eating their children's lunch, and if they could hear music coming directly from the lunch plate, their joy would reach its peak. This invention was perfected as a highly practical product, as a result of various researches to provide tableware that is full of such dreams. There were two reasons why this invention faced extremely difficult practical problems and required a lot of effort to solve. One is that tableware needs to be washed all the time due to its intended use, and it cannot be severed from its connection with water. The other is that it was intended to make the operation of the musical device, such as a music box, unexpected. This invention solved these two problems and resulted in a tableware with a musical device that is truly enjoyable.

An example of the implementation of the present invention is described with respect to a lunch plate. 1 is a lunch plate, 2 is an ear, 2' is a hole in the ear, 3 is a notch provided on the inner edge of the hole in the ear, 4 is a music box, 5 is a release, and 6 is a suction tool fixed to the music box. The music box is attached to a position that is difficult to see, such as the back side of the plate 1 or the recess 7 on the bottom surface, using a suction tool 6, and a release 5 that is linked to the music box is attached.
The body fits into the groove 5' communicating from the recess 7 to the notch 3, and uses its collar 8 and neck 9 to fit into the notch 3 formed in the hole 2' of the ear part of the lunch plate. wear. In this state, press release button 1.
0 protrudes from the flange 8, but since the notch 3 is covered by the flange 8, the presence of the push button is not so noticeable and can be mounted hidden. In this state, when the release push button 10 is pressed, the music box is configured to start.

Since the present invention is based on the above-mentioned configuration,
When serving a lunch plate, which has been prepared with a music instrument attached to it, and served on the table, the push button 10 of the release 5 is pressed so that no one notices, and the music box begins to play, playing pleasant music. People start eating while listening to the sound, but the sounding device and the release are completely invisible from the outside, and the push button 10 is fitted into the notch 3 in the ear of the tableware, so this is also easy for people to eat. Because it goes unnoticed, people feel as if the instrument has suddenly begun to sound, and are surprised and delighted.

Next, an example of the relationship between the music box start/stop mechanism and the release push button will be described.
In the figure, a double-knock mechanism is built into the head 11 of the release; when the push button 10 is pressed, the terminal pin 12 of the release moves forward and stops; when the push button 10 is pressed again, the terminal pin 12 is moved forward and stopped. 12 moves backwards and stops. On the other hand, 13 is music box 4
The inner gear is configured to engage with and disengage from the terminal pin 12 of the release as it advances and retreats, and 14 is a screw forming a part of the deceleration mechanism interlocked with the gear 13. In the wheel, 15 is the drum of the music box, and 16 is the diaphragm. The music box is driven by a spring or a mini motor (not shown). Therefore, when the push button 10 of the release is pressed to disengage the terminal pin 12 and the gear 13, the music box will play music, and when the push button is pressed again, the rotation of the music box can be stopped. It's convenient.

As mentioned above, the present application provides the recess 7 on the back side of the tableware.
Attach the music box in a place where no one can see it, such as inside the box or simply attach it to the back 4', and press the button when you put it in front of people.Of course, music will play and you can enjoy your meal. It is.

When installing the music box in the recess 7 on the back of the tableware or in an appropriate position on the back of the tableware, the release 5 is set so that the release 5 does not hang down and is visible from the outside, and in order to prevent people from noticing the presence of the music box as much as possible. Therefore, a groove 5' having a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the release is provided and the release is fitted into this groove. This groove can be effectively used when the tableware has different shapes and dimensions.

The music box can be easily attached and detached, so it can be removed when washing dishes without causing any problems. This completely achieves the two objectives mentioned above, that is, not interfering with washing dishes, and the element of surprise of not knowing what operation causes the music to start or where it comes from, making the tableware of this invention interesting in a way never before seen.

Next, other examples include associating the button on a music box with the pattern on tableware, such as placing the eye of a fish on a plate in the position of the button, or placing the bud of a flower on the button. position, etc. Moreover, as a means for attaching the music box, it is of course possible to freely select methods such as using a magnet or providing a recessed part in the plate.
The music box can also be provided with a stop device 17 that automatically stops when one play is completed.
