1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pattern having variable colors. Especially, the present invention can be applied to soft materials such as wearing apparels or household cloths in which the pattern is added to increase the decorative effect. Further, with the change of the viewing angle, the viewer can get distinct visual feelings of variable colors.
2. Description of Prior Art
Many apparels or household cloths are additionally provided with various decorations thereon. For example, the addition of the patterns is one of the most common ways. The patterns are presented on the surface of the cloth by embroidering or printing, thereby to emphasize its unique style and satisfy the relish and demand of customers.
In order to outstand the visual effect of the pattern, the colors, materials and processing manners of the patterns are important factors having an influence on the representation of the patterns. Therefore, many manufacturers aim to develop novel and improved manners for representing the patterns.
Since the pattern on the cloth still belongs to a static design, when the pattern and its colors are viewed from different angles, only the shape of the pattern may be changed due to the individual viewing angle. However, the pattern itself still represents a stiff and toneless visual effect. In view of this, although the manufacturers in this art have continuously tried to find a feasible solution, there is no ideal solution so far.
In view of the toneless visual effect represented by the patterns on the wearing apparels and household cloths, the object of the present invention is to provide a pattern capable of providing a vivid and variable visual effect.
According to the above objects, the present invention provides a pattern utilizing the interference of color. The pattern is constituted of decorative blocks provided on a cloth or soft material and a plurality of color-shielding pieces embedded on the surface of the decorative blocks. At least two opposite outer sides of the color-shielding piece are provided with a colored block, respectively. With the above arrangement, when the decorative blocks are viewed from different angles, they seem to have variable colors since the color-shielding pieces shield the colored blocks.
The following embodiments describe the characteristics and advantages of the present invention in detail, so that those skilled in this art can implement the present invention by utilizing the technical content thereof and easily understand the object and advantages of the present invention in view of the disclosure, claims and drawings thereof.
In order to further understand the objects, structure and functions of the present invention, the preferred embodiments thereof will be described in detailed as follows.
First, with reference to
With reference to
The length and height of the color-shielding piece 14 can be adjusted according to the size of the colored blocks 122, 124. With the provision of the color-shielding piece 14 on the decorative blocks 12, when viewed from the different viewing angles A, B and C in
In practice, in addition to the linear shape shown in the drawings, the color-shielding piece 14 can adopt a cross-shaped color shielding piece 14′ shown in
Further, the colored blocks 122, 124 provided on both opposite sides of the color-shielding piece 14 have different colors. In practice, the colors of the two colored blocks 122, 124 can be selected from similar colors, contrast colors or other color combinations so as to determine the hue, luminosity and saturation of the colors.
According to the above, the present invention is a pattern 10 combined with color-shielding pieces 14. Due to the fact that the color-shielding pieces 14 shield the colored blocks 122, 124, the decorative blocks 12 can represent a vivid visual effect when viewed from different angles.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various equivalent variations and modifications can still be occurred to those skilled in this art in view of the teachings of the present invention. Thus, all such variations and equivalent modifications are also embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
