Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to artificial flower ribbons, ribbons for forming artificial flowers, and methods for manufacturing artificial flower ribbons, and in particular to decorative artificial flowers (artificial flower ribbons) made of ribbons used for decorating articles such as products and their packaging, decorating rooms, and attaching to clothing, artificial flower ribbons for forming artificial flower ribbons, and methods for manufacturing artificial flower ribbons using artificial flower ribbons. [Background technology]

[0002] At ceremonial occasions such as weddings, funerals, commemorative ceremonies, and parties, badges are sometimes worn on clothing to honor guests or to identify attendees. Because such badges are often discarded after the occasion, ribbon badges (also called insignia ribbons) made of ribbon tape in the shape of a flower are widely used.

[0003] Conventional ribbon badges are mainly produced by gluing together multiple hand-made ribbon pieces to form flower petals, and are inexpensive yet three-dimensional, visually luxurious, and attractive.

[0004] There has also been a proposal to make it possible to easily create gorgeous and attractive badges (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This badge consisted of a number of petals formed into a ring shape from thin strips arranged in parallel around one end of a short cylindrical body, the petals being spread out radially around the periphery of the body, and a reinforcing disk with a diameter larger than that of the body being attached to one end of the body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, an artificial flower ribbon, a ribbon for forming an artificial flower, and a method for manufacturing an artificial flower ribbon according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] First embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of the front side of a ribbon insignia 1 to which an artificial flower ribbon (decorative artificial flower made of ribbon) according to a first embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a rear view showing a schematic configuration of the back side of the ribbon insignia 1.

[0015] This ribbon insignia 1 is attached to the clothing of a guest of honor at a commemorative ceremony or party, and is composed of an artificial flower part (bow) 1A and a ribbon part 1B, as shown in Fig. 1. The ribbon part 1B consists of a pair of strips 40a, 40b and a tag ribbon 45 on which a name or other inscription can be written.

[0016] That is, in the ribbon insignia 1 according to this embodiment, for example, a pair of strips 40a, 40b and an artificial flower part 1A are integrally formed by an artificial flower forming ribbon 20 (details of which will be described later) also called a one-touch bow.

[0017] The artificial flower part 1A is composed of multiple (nine pairs in the illustrated example) loop-shaped petals 31a, 31b, 32a, 32b, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b, 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, 38a, 38b, 39a, 39b.

[0018] Here, the nine pairs of petals 31a, 31b, 32a, 32b, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b, 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, 38a, 38b, 39a, 39b that form the artificial flower part 1A are divided into, for example, four groups.

[0019] For example, the petals are divided into a group consisting of petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, and 39a, a group consisting of petals 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, and 39b, a group consisting of petals 32a, 34a, 36a, and 38a, and a group consisting of petals 32b, 34b, 36b, and 38b.

[0020] The petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b of each group are twisted in one direction (counterclockwise x direction in the illustrated example), and the positions of the more rearward petals are adjusted so that they overlap multiple times (preferably about 4 to 5 times) around the center 40s and gradually shift.

[0021] In this embodiment, the artificial flower part 1A is adjusted so that the petals of each group (31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b) are spread out almost evenly and in a balanced manner, resembling the image of a rose, for example. This allows for a three-dimensional, gorgeous, and attractive ribbon insignia 1.

[0022] The ribbon 1B is configured by attaching a tag ribbon 45 to the pair of strips 40a, 40b formed integrally with the artificial flower 1A near the center of the front side of the strips. The tag ribbon 45 may be attached by heat pressing, by adhesion using adhesive tape or glue, by stapling, by pinning, or by sewing.

[0023] For example, if the artificial flower part 1A is made of a reddish ribbon, it is desirable to use a white ribbon as the bill ribbon 45. Preferably, the bill ribbon 45 is specially treated (bleed-proof treatment) on at least the front side to prevent the letters from bleeding when writing, regardless of whether they are written with an oil-based pen or a water-based pen.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, for example, adhesive tape (fixing device) 47 is attached to the back side of the ribbon insignia 1 to prevent the artificial flower part 1A from losing its shape by fixing a pair of strings (described later) 43, 43 used to form the artificial flower part 1A to the base ends of a pair of strips 40a, 40b which form the base end portion of the artificial flower part 1A, and a simple clip (fastener) 49 for attaching the ribbon insignia 1 to clothing is attached and fixed via the adhesive tape (fixing device) 47.

[0025] The simple clip 49 is easy to attach and detach, but is not limited to a type that allows the ribbon insignia 1 to be attached directly to clothing, and may also be a type that can be attached to a card inserted into a clothing pocket, for example.

[0026] In addition, the ribbon portion 1B is not limited to being composed of a pair of strips 40a, 40b and a tag ribbon 45 formed integrally with the artificial flower portion 1A, but can also be configured, for example, by attaching a pre-made ribbon portion having a structure separate from the artificial flower portion 1A to the artificial flower portion 1A.

[0027] Furthermore, the ribbon insignia 1 is not limited to having the ribbon portion 1B on the underside of the artificial flower portion 1A, but may also have a configuration in which the ribbon portion 1B is provided on the upper side of the artificial flower portion 1A, such as a medal.

[0028] 3(a) to 3(c) show examples of ribbons 20 for forming artificial flowers used in the production (manufacturing) of the ribbon badge 1 according to this embodiment.

[0029] As shown in Figures 3(a) to 3(c), this artificial flower forming ribbon 20 comprises a pair of ribbon tapes 40, 40 that form strips 40a, 40b of the artificial flower part 1A and the ribbon part 1B, and strings 43, 43 that are arranged between the pair of ribbon tapes 40, 40 and extend along the longitudinal direction of the pair of ribbon tapes 40, 40.

[0030] The ribbon tape pair 40, 40 is formed, for example, by folding back a single ribbon tape that is plain (single material) and wide, or by overlapping two identical ribbon tapes.

[0031] In the ribbon emblem 1 according to this embodiment, the tape width (length in the short direction) of the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 is set to about 18 mm to 40 mm depending on the size of the artificial flower part 1A to be formed, for example.

[0032] The strings 43, 43 are used to form the artificial flower part 1A and to prevent the artificial flower part 1A from losing its shape. The strings 43, 43 are made of, for example, the same material as the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 (or a different material), and are made of at least one pair of ribbon tapes narrower in width than the ribbon tape pair 40, 40, placed inside the ribbon tape pair 40, 40.

[0033] In the ribbon insignia 1 according to this embodiment, for example, the tape width of the strings 43, 43 is set to about 5 mm to 13 mm depending on the tape width of the ribbon tape pair 40, 40.

[0034] The strings 43, 43 are arranged so that their longitudinal axis substantially coincides with the longitudinal axis of the ribbon tape pair 40, 40. Near one (or the other) longitudinal end portion, which forms the flower center 40s, the strings 43, 43 are joined (fused) to the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 by joints 20a, 20b. Since the joining with the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 is avoided in areas other than the end portions, relative movement between the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 and the strings 43, 43 is possible.

[0035] The ribbon tape pair 40, 40 and the strings 43, 43 may be made of synthetic fibers or synthetic resins such as polyester, nylon, or polypropylene.

[0036] That is, in the artificial flower forming ribbon 20, for example, the strings 43 are arranged between the pair of ribbon tapes 40 so that their axes are substantially on the same plane. The pair of ribbon tapes 40 are joined to each other at joints 20a and 20b at one end. One end of the pair of ribbon tapes 40 is cut at a predetermined angle to form the center 40s of the artificial flower part 1A.

[0037] The ribbon tape pairs 40,40 are joined at multiple locations (nine locations in the illustrated example) in the longitudinal direction excluding the vicinity of the axis of the artificial flower forming ribbon 20 by joining portions 21,21, 22,22, 23,23, 24,24, 25,25, 26,26, 27,27, 28,28, and 29,29, respectively.

[0038] The joints 21,21, 22,22, 23,23, 24,24, 25,25, 26,26, 27,27, 28,28, 29,29 are respectively provided near both ends of the ribbon tape pair 40,40 in the short direction, and join the ribbon tape pair 40,40 to each other by thermocompression bonding or the like, while avoiding the strings 43,43. The joints 21,21, 22,22, 23,23, 24,24, 25,25, 26,26, 27,27, 28,28, 29,29 are arranged at at least two points along a plurality of (nine in the illustrated example) imaginary lines L (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9) that are virtually provided at arbitrary intervals and predetermined angles.

[0039] The virtual lines L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, and L9 are set, for example, at approximately regular intervals and at angles of +45 degrees (upward to the right), -45 degrees (downward to the right), +45 degrees, -45 degrees, +45 degrees, -45 degrees, +45 degrees, -45 degrees, +45 degrees, and +45 degrees, respectively, relative to the short direction perpendicular to the long direction of the ribbon tape pair 40. In other words, the virtual lines are set so that the orientation of each of the adjacent joints 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, and 29, 29 is approximately 90 degrees.

[0040] As a result, adjacent petals 31a, 31b, 32a, 32b, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b, 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, 38a, 38b, 39a, 39b are approximately the same size and oriented in different directions at angles of approximately 90 degrees to each other.

[0041] The pair of strips 40a, 40b are pulled out from below the artificial flower part 1A to the left and right on the back side of the ribbon insignia 1 by joints 29, 29 provided along the imaginary line L9 to form the ribbon part 1B.

[0042] In this way, by providing multiple joints 21,21, 22,22, 23,23, 24,24, 25,25, 26,26, 27,27, 28,28, 29,29 along the longitudinal direction of the ribbon tape pair 40,40, the number and shape of each petal 31a,31b, 32a,32b, 33a,33b, 34a,34b, 35a,35b, 36a,36b, 37a,37b, 38a,38b, 39a,39b of the artificial flower part 1A to be formed, as well as the orientation of the strips 40a,40b, can be easily determined.

[0043] That is, the strings 43,43 are positioned between the respective joints 21,21, 22,22, 23,23, 24,24, 25,25, 26,26, 27,27, 28,28, 29,29 and are avoided from joining with the ribbon tape pair 40,40, thereby allowing the ribbon tape pair 40,40 to move relative to the strings 43,43.

[0044] This relative movement causes the ribbon tape pairs 40, 40 to deform and bend into loops according to the positions and angles of the joints 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, and 29, as shown in Fig. 4. As a result, as shown in Fig. 5, the petals 31a, 31b, 32a, 32b, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b, 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, 38a, 38b, and 39a, 39b of the artificial flower part 1A are integrally formed with a pair of strips 40a, 40b that form the ribbon part 1B, which are pulled out diagonally downward on the left and right sides of the artificial flower part 1A.

[0045] The angle of the imaginary lines L, the distance (spacing) between the imaginary lines L, and the number of lines can be set or changed as appropriate depending on the size, orientation, and number of petals of the artificial flower part 1A to be formed. In other words, by changing the number, angle, or spacing of the imaginary lines L, it is possible to easily form artificial flower parts 1A having petals with different numbers and shapes, and thus giving different impressions, and also to easily adjust the orientation of the strips 40a, 40b.

[0046] Furthermore, at the joints 20a and 20b, if the ribbon tape pair 40 and the strings 43 are made of the same material, such as synthetic fiber, they are simultaneously joined to each other by thermal welding using a heat source such as ultrasonic waves. If the ribbon tape pair 40 and the strings 43 are made of different materials, they may be simultaneously joined to each other by thermal melting.

[0047] Furthermore, instead of using heat welding or heat melting, the joints 20a and 20b can be formed by, for example, sewing with thread, bonding with adhesive tape or glue, stapling, fastening with fasteners such as hooks, etc. In this case, ribbon tape made from natural materials can also be used.

[0048] Here, an example of a method for manufacturing the ribbon insignia 1 according to this embodiment will be described in more detail.

[0049] 4, when manufacturing the ribbon insignia 1 according to this embodiment, the producer holds the strings 43, 43 of the artificial flower forming ribbon 20 with one hand, and slides the ribbon tape pairs 40, 40 along the longitudinal direction of the strings 43, 43 with the other hand. Then, the ribbon tape pairs 40, 40 are curved into loops according to the joints 20a, 20b, 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, and 29, 29.

[0050] As a result, as shown in Figure 5, for example, first, artificial flower part 1A is temporarily formed by stacking petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, petals 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, petals 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, and petals 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b in groups, and a pair of strips 40a, 40b that will become ribbon part 1B.

[0051] After the artificial flower part 1A is temporarily formed in this way, the base ends of the pair of strips 40a, 40b are loosely tied with strings 43, 43 to bind the artificial flower part 1A so that the artificial flower part 1A does not lose its shape.

[0052] In this state, by gently twisting the needle in the direction of the arrow x, the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, and 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b of each group are adjusted to overlap one another, as shown in Figure 1, to form the artificial flower part 1A. In other words, the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b are each spread out in a balanced manner so that the artificial flower part 1A to be formed resembles, for example, a rose.

[0053] In this case, it is also possible to form the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b stacked in multiple layers so that they overlap each other alternately.

[0054] Then, after cutting the strings 43, 43 to an appropriate length, a simple clip 49 for attaching the ribbon insignia 1 to clothing is attached and fixed to the cut portions of the strings 43, 43 via adhesive tape 47, as shown in Figure 2, for example.

[0055] Thereafter, a tag ribbon 45 is fixed to the center of the front side of a pair of strips 40a, 40b formed integrally with the artificial flower portion 1A to form the ribbon portion 1B, thereby completing the ribbon badge 1 shown in Figure 1, for example.

[0056] In addition, trimming the strings 43, 43, attaching the simple clips 49, or fixing the tag ribbon 45 can also be done before the artificial flower part 1A is actually formed, that is, before adjusting the overlap of each petal 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b.

[0057] The tag ribbon 45 may be attached to the strips 40a and 40b after being labeled with a name or the like.

[0058] As described above, according to the ribbon insignia 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to easily form an artificial flower part 1A having multiple petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b, which evokes the image of a rose, for example.

[0059] That is, the artificial flower part 1A can be formed more easily by using the artificial flower forming ribbon 20, also called a one-touch bow, when manufacturing the ribbon insignia 1. Moreover, by twisting the ribbon 20, each petal 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b spreads out evenly in a balanced manner.

[0060] This allows anyone to easily produce three-dimensional, visually gorgeous, and attractive ribbon insignia 1, even though it is done by hand, without requiring any special skills. This makes manufacturing easier, improves workability, and eliminates productivity declines due to labor shortages.

[0061] Second embodiment FIG. 6 shows an example of decoration in the case where a ribbon badge 1 to which an artificial flower ribbon according to the second embodiment of the present invention is applied is used as a decorative ribbon.

[0062] That is, in the first embodiment described above, the present invention is described as being applied to a ribbon insignia 1, but it can also be used as a decorative ribbon such as a wrapping ribbon for decorating an item B consisting of a product or its packaging, as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

[0063] Here, the same or similar parts as those in the ribbon badge 1 are designated by the same or similar symbols, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0064] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, an artificial flower part 1A consisting of petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b stacked up using an artificial flower forming ribbon 20, and a pair of strips 40a, 40b are temporarily formed.

[0065] Then, strings 43, 43 are tied to the base ends of the pair of strips 40a, 40b to such an extent that the artificial flower part 1A does not lose its shape.

[0066] Thereafter, for example, one adhesive surface of a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) is attached to the bound portions of the strings 43, 43 to fix the bound portions of the strings 43, 43 to the base ends of the strips 40a, 40b.

[0067] When decorating, for example, as shown in Figure 6, the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b are adjusted so that they overlap each other, and the other adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) is attached to the item B to be decorated, thereby temporarily fixing the artificial flower part 1A to the decorative surface (surface) of the item B.

[0068] With the artificial flower part 1A temporarily fixed in this manner, for example, strings 43, 43 are routed around the back side, which is the non-decorative surface, of the article B and fixed as a tying string (knot) using fasteners 15a or the like. This makes it easy to decorate the article B using the pair of strips 40a, 40b of the artificial flower part 1A and ribbon part 1B that form the ribbon insignia 1.

[0069] The fasteners 15a are not limited to clips, but may be an elastic member such as a rubber string provided between the strings 43, 43, and the strings 43 may be fastened using the elasticity of the elastic member, or may be fastened using an adhesive member such as adhesive tape. Alternatively, the strings 43, 43 may be fastened by binding them together.

[0070] As described above, according to this embodiment, the ribbon insignia 1 can be easily used not only to decorate a person but also as a decorative ribbon for decorating the article B.

[0071] Third embodiment 7 shows another example of the ribbon insignia 1 to which the artificial flower ribbon according to the third embodiment of the present invention is applied, when it is used as a decorative ribbon, and here, an example will be explained in which the strips 40a, 40b forming the ribbon part 1B are used as a tie string. Note that the same or similar reference numerals are used to designate the same parts as those of the ribbon insignia 1, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the ribbon insignia 1 is used as a decorative ribbon such as a wrapping ribbon to decorate an item B consisting of a product or its packaging, the artificial flower part 1A is attached to the item B using a pair of strips 40a, 40b, as shown in Figure 7, for example.

[0073] That is, in this embodiment, for example, the angle of the joints 29, 29 that form the base ends of a pair of strips 40a, 40b of the artificial flower forming ribbon 20 shown in Figure 3 relative to the short side direction of the ribbon tape pair 40, 40 is set to 0 degrees (short side direction).

[0074] This allows the pair of strips 40a, 40b to be pulled out almost horizontally in the left-right direction of the front of the artificial flower part 1A. As a result, by setting the pair of strips 40a, 40b to be longer, they can be used as tying strings when attaching the artificial flower part 1A to an article B, for example, as shown in Figure 7.

[0075] As described above, when attaching the artificial flower part 1A to the article B using the strips 40a, 40b, the artificial flower part 1A and the pair of strips 40a, 40b are temporarily formed using the artificial flower forming ribbon 20, and then the strings 43, 43 are tied at the base ends of the strips 40a, 40b.

[0076] Then, after cutting the strings 43, 43 to an appropriate length, one adhesive surface of a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) is attached to the bound portion to fix the bound portion of the strings 43, 43 to the base ends of the strips 40a, 40b.

[0077] When decorating, for example, as shown in Figure 7, the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b are adjusted so that they overlap each other, and the other adhesive surface of the double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) is attached to the item B to be decorated, thereby temporarily fixing the artificial flower part 1A to the decorative surface (top surface) of the item B.

[0078] With the artificial flower part 1A temporarily fixed in this way, the pair of strips 40a, 40b, which have been pulled out longer, are drawn around the back side, which is the non-decorative surface, of the article B and fixed as a tie string using a fastener 15b such as adhesive tape. This makes it easy to decorate the article B using the pair of strips 40a, 40b of the artificial flower part 1A and ribbon part 1B that form the ribbon insignia 1.

[0079] The length of the pair of strips 40a, 40b may be adjusted in advance in accordance with the size of the article B, or may be cut to size after being bonded together.

[0080] Furthermore, the pair of strips 40a, 40b are not limited to being attached by overlapping them on the underside of the item B, but can also be attached directly to the non-decorative side or underside of the item B, for example.

[0081] In the above-described embodiments, the petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b of the artificial flower part 1A can be formed in advance so as to overlap each other without being twisted. In this case, this can be easily achieved by gradually increasing (or decreasing) the angles of the joints 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, 29, 29 of the artificial flower-forming ribbon 20.

[0082] Alternatively, the distance between each of the joints 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, and 29, 29 may be gradually increased, which makes it easy to gradually change the length of the overlapping petals 31a, 33a, 35a, 37a, 39a, 31b, 33b, 35b, 37b, 39b, 32a, 34a, 36a, 38a, 32b, 34b, 36b, 38b.
