Headlamp-equipped model and headlamp light-guiding mechanism thereof

Abstract

A new model representation technique is provided, providing a realistic feeling to the color tone at the time of lights-out as that of the actual one, while keeping lighting properties of a headlamp-equipped model. A rear light-guiding unit 8 c guides light emitted from an illuminator 7 b provided near the unit itself according to its shape. A front light-guiding unit 8 d has a facing surface that faces the rear light-guiding unit 8 c and a tip-end face 8 a exposed when inserted in a through hole, and a linear shape is formed between these surfaces. A half mirror 8 b is interposed between the front and rear light-guiding units 8 c and 8 d.

1 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 a model body having a through hole formed at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator, controllable its light-emitting state, provided in the model body;   a light-guiding mechanism partially inserted in the through hole, guiding light emitted from the illuminator according to its shape, and emitting light from a tip-end face exposed from the through hole toward outside; and   a half mirror interposed in the light-guiding mechanism inside of the tip-end face and at a position that can be seen through from the tip-end face.   
   
   
       2 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 a model body having a through hole formed at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator, controllable its light-emitting state, provided in the model body;   a light-guiding mechanism having a linear inserting portion inserted in the through hole, guiding light emitted from the illuminator according to its shape, and emitting light from a tip-end face exposed from the through hole toward outside; and   a half mirror interposed in the linear inserting portion inside of the tip-end face and outside of an inner surface of the model body.   
   
   
       3 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 a model body having a through hole formed at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator, controllable its light-emitting state, provided in the model body;   a first light-guiding unit provided near the illuminator and guiding light emitted from the illuminator according to its shape;   a second light-guiding unit having a facing surface, a tip-end face, and a linear shape between the facing surface and the tip-end face, the facing surface facing the first light-guiding unit, the tip-end face being exposed in case of insertion into the through hole; and   a half mirror interposed between the first light-guiding unit and the second light-guiding unit.   
   
   
       4 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 an opening provided at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator controllable its light-emitting state;   a light-guiding mechanism inserted in the opening, guiding light emitted from the illuminator, and emitting light from a tip-end face exposed from the opening toward outside;   a half mirror interposed in the light-guiding mechanism inside of the tip-end face and at a position that can be seen through from the tip-end face; and   a light-shielding means interrupting incidence of external light onto a rear surface side of the half mirror except external light incident from the opening via the half mirror.   
   
   
       5 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 an opening provided at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator controllable its light-emitting state;   a light-guiding mechanism inserted in the opening, guiding light emitted from the illuminator, and emitting light from a tip-end face exposed from the opening toward outside; and   a half mirror interposed in the light-guiding mechanism inside of the tip-end face and at a position that can be seen through from the tip-end face,   wherein the half mirror has a non-planar shape in which a depth from the tip-end face is successively varied.   
   
   
       6 . A headlamp-equipped model comprising:
 an opening provided at a portion corresponding to a headlamp;   an illuminator controllable its light-emitting state;   a half mirror provided at a position that can be seen through from the opening;   a first light-guiding unit guiding light emitted from the illuminator to a rear surface side of the half mirror; and   a second light-guiding unit provided on a front surface side of the half mirror at the opening,   wherein the first light-guiding unit and the second light-guiding unit are integrated together by fitting mutually-fittable non-planar portions in each other, with the half mirror being interposed therebetween.   
   
   
       7 . A headlamp light-guiding mechanism for a headlamp-equipped model that lights a headlamp with light emitted from an illuminator, the mechanism comprising:
 a first light-guiding unit guiding light emitted from the illuminator according to its shape;   a second light-guiding unit having a facing surface, a tip-end face, and a linear shape between the facing surface and the tip-end face, the facing surface facing the first light-guiding unit, the tip-end face exposed when inserted in a through hole formed at a portion corresponding to the headlamp in the headlamp-equipped model; and   a half mirror interposed between the first light-guiding unit and the second light-guiding unit.   
   
   
       8 . A headlamp light-guiding mechanism for a headlamp-equipped model that lights a headlamp with light emitted from an illuminator, the mechanism comprising:
 a half mirror;   a first light-guiding unit guiding light emitted from the illuminator to a rear surface side of the half mirror; and   a second light-guiding unit provided on a front surface side of the half mirror at an opening provided at a portion corresponding to the headlamp in the headlamp-equipped model,   wherein the first light-guiding unit and the second light-guiding unit are integrated together by fitting mutually-fittable non-planar portions in each other, with the half mirror being interposed therebetween.
