Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to printed fabric personal items. [Background technology]

[0002] In Patent Documents 1 and 2, a stereogram is described as an image representation that allows a person to recognize a three-dimensional shape by viewing it with both eyes, even though it is a flat image. When a person views a three-dimensional shape with both eyes, he or she recognizes the three-dimensional shape due to the difference in image information acquired by the left and right eyes caused by parallax or the like. This recognition effect is used to create a kind of illusion, and is set up to give the feeling that one is viewing a three-dimensional shape.

[0003] A stereogram is a method of displaying images side by side that are perceived when the same object is viewed with each eye. By viewing this with the crossed or parallel method, a three-dimensional object can be perceived. There are also wallpaper stereograms, which take advantage of the fact that images with the same repeating pattern appear at different distances depending on how they are focused, and single-image stereograms, which allow stereoscopic viewing with a single image.

[0004] These stereograms use optical illusions, giving the viewer a mysterious and intriguing impression. It is also believed that viewing stereograms in 3D can help improve eyesight. Stereograms are already widespread, and periodicals dedicated to stereograms are being published. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 59-191081 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 52-4855 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Stereograms allow viewers to have a mysterious visual experience that is hard to predict from the original image displayed. They are also said to be effective in improving eyesight. Many periodicals and other printed materials are published for this purpose.

[0007] Periodicals and other books are suitable for leisurely viewing indoors. However, when outdoors, it is a hassle to carry such books around and take them out of your bag and put them away. In the first place, it is inconvenient to carry around books whose only purpose is to experience stereoscopic vision. Therefore, these books are used in limited situations, such as in the waiting room of a clinic, where they are provided to patients waiting for their turn.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to enable a person to easily experience stereograms without being restricted by place or time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the cloth personal item of the present invention has a pattern part on at least one surface of which a stereogram is printed. The handkerchief of the present invention also has a pattern part on at least one surface of which a stereogram is printed.

[0010] Furthermore, it is preferably made of a pile fabric having a pile surface on at least one side. Effect of the Invention

[0011] The cloth personal items and handkerchiefs of the present invention are cloth products that are used daily and are often carried at hand, allowing users to easily experience stereoscopic viewing using stereograms at any time. When not in use, they can be folded and stored. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the structure of a warp knitted pile fabric. [Figure 4] This is the back view of the same. [Diagram 5] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the knitting of a circular knit pile fabric. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a cloth personal item;

[0014] The cloth personal items 1 to which this invention is applied are cloth products that are often used around us in daily life, such as towels, hand towels, handkerchiefs, fukusa, and furoshiki. It is particularly suitable for cloth products such as towels, hand towels, and handkerchiefs for wiping sweat and moisture off the body. Here, towels include towel handkerchiefs, face towels, and large items such as sports towels and bath towels.

[0015] The fabric of the main body 2 may be woven or knitted. The yarns constituting the fabric may be cotton yarns, synthetic fibers such as polyester yarns, or a mixture of these. It may be a flat fabric such as a plain weave, or it may be a pile fabric. In the case of a pile fabric, it may be a fabric with pile on both sides or only one side.

[0016] The cloth personal item 1 has a pattern portion 2 on at least one surface. The pattern portion 2 may be provided on both surfaces, or only on one surface. It may also occupy most of one surface, or only a portion of it. Furthermore, multiple pattern portions may be provided separately on one surface.

[0017] A stereogram is represented by printing on the picture portion 2. The stereogram may be a stereo pair in which two images are arranged side by side to generate parallax, but a single image stereogram formed by only a single image is particularly preferable.

[0018] This stereogram is created by printing. For example, screen printing, dye-sublimation printing, inkjet printing, etc. can be used. The printing can be as precise as photographic printing, but it has been found that even less precise printing can achieve a three-dimensional view with a single image stereogram. On the other hand, it is difficult to create a stereogram using methods other than printing, such as embroidery.

[0019] FIG. 1 shows an example of a rectangle with different length and width sides, such as a face towel, sports towel, or bath towel for wiping the body. Towel products like this are used daily. After using the towel in the usual way, such as wiping the body, you can experience stereoscopic vision by looking at the pattern part. Once you have finished stereoscopic vision, you can simply return it to its original place like an ordinary towel. In this way, you can enjoy stereograms as a part of your daily life whenever you like.

[0020] A second embodiment will be described. This is an example suitable for a towel handkerchief. Figure 2 is a plan view showing an example of a towel handkerchief. A roughly square towel handkerchief measuring 10cm to 35cm in length and width is made from this fabric. A single image stereogram pattern is printed on one or both sides.

[0021] The towel product of this example can be carried around as a handkerchief, so that the user can enjoy the stereogram whenever they are out by taking it out of their pocket or handbag. They can also show the stereogram to their friends when they are out.

[0022] Next, examples of fabrics for the main body 2 will be described. First, an example using warp knitted pile fabric will be described. This is a pile fabric with a warp knit structure, and can be manufactured by machine knitting. Such warp knitting machines are already in widespread use. Figure 3 shows the first side.

[0023] Each row of warp knitting is made up of a set of four yarns. The pile yarns appearing on the first surface are the upper pile yarn L1, the pile stop yarn L2, the lower yarn L3, and the pile yarns appearing on the second surface opposite the first surface are used in each row as a set. Here, the subscript n is added to each yarn in a certain row n, and the upper pile yarn L1 is n , Pile fixing thread L2 n , bobbin thread L3 n , Lower pile thread L4 n This is expressed as:

[0024] On the first side, the upper pile yarn L1 in row n n is the pile stopper thread L2 of that row n Lower thread L3 n Furthermore, in this invention, the upper pile yarn L1 is stopped at a stop point P1. n is the pile stopper thread L2 in the adjacent row n+1. n+1 Lower thread L3 n+1 In the example of FIG. 3, the upper pile yarn L1 is fixed at a fixing point P2. n is the pile fixing thread L2 in row n+2, which is next to row n+1, i.e., two rows away from row n n+2 Lower thread L3 n+2 In this way, the upper pile is not exposed on the first side, and the first side has a satin-like flat surface.

[0025] The second side is in the normal warp knit pile state. Figure 4 shows the second side. The second side also has the lower pile yarn L4 in row n. n The base of the pile stopper thread L2 of that row n Lower thread L3 n However, the lower pile yarn L4 is stopped at a stop point P0. n is the pile stopper thread L2 for the other rowsn+1 Therefore, on the second side, the pile is sticking out like a normal pile fabric.

[0026] As described above, the first side of this warp knit pile fabric is flat and is suitable for printing using dye sublimation (thermal transfer). Even patterns such as photographs can be reproduced precisely. Meanwhile, the second side is a pile surface, which feels soft to the touch. In addition to dye sublimation, it is also possible to use inkjet printing on film followed by thermal transfer, or inkjet printing on fabric using pigments, which also make it possible to create stereograms.

[0027] Next, an example of a circular knit fabric will be described. Figure 5 is a structure diagram showing the knitting of a circular knit fabric. Polyester yarn is used. Loop-shaped pile is formed on both sides.

[0028] Stereogram patterns are displayed by inkjet printing on film and then thermal transfer, or inkjet printing on fabric with pigments, etc. The stereogram effect can also be achieved with the fabric in this example.

[0029] Although the above describes an example of knitted fabric, normal towel weave fabric can also be used. Any cotton thread count can be used, and it can be produced by normal weaving on a normal loom. A stereogram pattern can be displayed on this towel fabric by inkjet printing with pigments or dyes. The stereogram effect can be obtained even with such normal towel weave fabric. [Explanation of symbols]
