TRANSPARENT ORNAMENT

Abstract

The present invention relates to a polyhedral transparent ornament functioning as a pictorial display, comprising; a cubic transparent body which includes a bottom surface formed in a truncated triangular planar shape by cutting off an optional vertex portion of the cubic transparent body, three planar surfaces each formed adjacent to edges of the bottom surface, and three viewing surfaces each formed adjacent to edges of the planar surfaces; and a plurality of pictorial films each formed on a corresponding one of the planar surfaces, whereby the pictorial films are selectively viewed through the viewing surfaces.

Claims

1. A polyhedral transparent ornament functioning as a pictorial display, comprising; a cubic transparent body which includes a bottom surface formed in a truncated triangular planar shape by cutting off an optional vertex portion of the cubic transparent body, three planar surfaces each formed adjacent to edges of the bottom surface, and three viewing surfaces each formed adjacent to edges of the planar surfaces; anda plurality of pictorial films each formed on a corresponding one of the planar surfaces,whereby the pictorial films are selectively viewed through the viewing surfaces.

2. The transparent ornament according to claim 1, wherein each of the pictorial films is formed of any one of a photograph formed by decal printing, a printed graphic, and an intaglio or relief pattern.

3. The transparent ornament according to claim 1, wherein a stereoscopic pattern is formed in the inside of the transparent body by performing a laser beam machining.
