Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a temporary lace. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, when wearing a kimono, various temporary strings have been used to easily tie the obi into a desired obi knot shape and to maintain the shape of the obi knot. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a temporary string for decorative obi knots that can maintain the shape of gorgeous obi knots, such as Hanamusubi and Chobunkomusubi, which are popular for kimonos such as furisode for coming-of-age ceremonies. In this temporary string for decorative obi knots, a obi clip protrudes from a obi shape support body formed by sewing together both ends of three overlapping flat rubber cords, and this obi clip can be used to attach the obi shape support body in a taut state along the obi at the edge of the obi. Then, by passing the obi between the flat rubber cords while holding down the knot of the obi with the taut obi shape support body, the obi can be easily tied into the shape of a decorative obi knot. In addition, by holding down the obi with the obi shape support body, the shape of the decorative obi knot can be maintained so that it does not collapse. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-204351 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Incidentally, in general temporary strings other than the above-mentioned decorative obi tying temporary strings, a fixing string such as a flat string is provided instead of an obi clip, and this string is wrapped around the wearer's waist over the obi or kimono and tied at the front side, and an elastic member such as a flat rubber band is placed on the back side.The fixing string is then tied tightly to put the elastic member in a taut state, and the obi is passed and sandwiched between the elastic members to hold the obi and maintain the shape of the obi knot.
[0005] When using a general temporary obi with a fixing string such as a flat string, if the fixing string is visible, it will spoil the appearance, so it is necessary to hide the fixing string by tucking it between the kimono and the obi or wrapping the obiage around it from above. In this way, even if it is easy to tie the obi, it is not only time-consuming to hide the fixing string, but the string that was supposed to be hidden may become exposed due to body movements.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a temporary string that does not spoil the appearance even when the string body is exposed. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The temporary string of the present invention is intended to maintain the shape of an obi knot, and is characterized by comprising a belt-shaped string body made of lace fabric, plain fabric, or fabric with a pattern or embroidery, and a plurality of elastic members provided on the inside of the string body and along the longitudinal direction of the string body.
[0008] The temporary string of the present invention has a first fixed portion at which one end of the elastic member is fixed to the string body, and a second fixed portion at which the other end of the elastic member is fixed to the string body, and is characterized in that the length from the first fixed portion to the second fixed portion on the elastic member is shorter than the length from the first fixed portion to the second fixed portion on the string body.
[0009] The temporary string of the present invention is characterized in that the elastic member is a flat rubber string, and three elastic members are fixed in a stacked manner toward the inside of the string body.
[0010] The temporary string of the present invention is characterized in that the string body is formed by folding the short side in half. Effect of the Invention
[0011] The temporary string of the present invention is made of lace fabric, plain fabric, or fabric with a pattern or embroidery. Therefore, with conventional temporary strings, it was necessary to hide the fixing string, but with the temporary string of the present invention, the appearance is not spoiled even when the string body is visible, and there is no need to hide the string body. In addition, since the string body is made of lace fabric, plain fabric, or fabric with a pattern or embroidery, the temporary string itself looks gorgeous.
[0012] The temporary string of the present invention has a first fixing part where one end of the elastic member is fixed to the string body, and a second fixing part where the other end of the elastic member is fixed to the string body, and the length from the first fixing part to the second fixing part on the elastic member is shorter than the length from the first fixing part to the second fixing part on the string body. Usually, a temporary string maintains the shape of the obi knot by holding the obi with a tensioned elastic member, but in the temporary string of the present invention, the length from the first fixing part to the second fixing part on the elastic member is shorter than the length from the first fixing part to the second fixing part on the string body, so that the elastic member can be easily stretched to a tensioned state by simply pulling both ends of the string body.
[0013] The elastic members of the temporary string of this device are flat rubber strings, and three elastic members are stacked and fixed toward the inside of the string body. This allows the belt to be passed between the stacked and fixed elastic members and pinched to hold it in place, making it possible to tie the belt in a variety of shapes.
[0014] The temporary string of the present invention is formed by folding the string body in half in the short direction. Therefore, compared to a single string body, the string body made of folded lace fabric, plain fabric, or fabric with a pattern or embroidery gives a brighter and more gorgeous impression.

[Figure 4] FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of the temporary lace according to the embodiment of the present invention where an elastic member is provided. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] Hereinafter, a temporary lace 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the temporary string 1 comprises a belt-like string body 2 for fixing the temporary string 1 to the waist of the wearer of the kimono 10, and a flat rubber string 3 which is an elastic member provided on one side of the string body 2 for holding the obi 11 and maintaining the shape of the obi knot. The temporary string 1 is used by wrapping the string body 2 around the waist and tying it at the front side, with the flat rubber string 3 placed on the back side of the wearer over the kimono 10 and obi 11. At this time, the temporary string 1 is used with the flat rubber string 3 closer to the wearer's body than the string body 2. In the following explanation, the side of the belt-like temporary string 1 and string body 2 on which the flat rubber string 3 is provided is described as the inside, and the opposite side is described as the outside.
[0017] The string body 2 is formed in a belt shape as shown in FIG. 3(a). The string body 2 may be made of a lace fabric, a plain fabric, or a fabric with a pattern or embroidery (hereinafter, "lace fabric, plain fabric, or fabric with a pattern or embroidery" is also referred to as "lace fabric, etc."), and the string body 2 of this embodiment is made of lace fabric. The string body 2 is also formed by folding the short side in half. Therefore, one end of the short side of the string body 2 is closed by folding back the lace fabric, and the other end side of the short side of the string body 2 is a free end of the lace fabric folded back at one end of the string body 2. The string body 2 is for fixing the temporary string 1 to the waist of the wearer, so the length between the ends 2a and 2b in the longitudinal direction of the string body 2 is formed to a length that can be wrapped around the waist of the wearer and tied, for example, a length of 110 cm to 150 cm.
[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 3(b), the flat rubber cords 3 are arranged inside the cord body 2 along the longitudinal direction of the cord body 2, and both ends are fixed. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, three flat rubber cords 3 are stacked toward the inside of the cord body 2, and only both ends of each flat rubber cord 3 are sewn to the cord body 2. Of the parts where both ends of each flat rubber cord 3 are fixed to the cord body 2, the part where one end of each flat rubber cord 3 is fixed to the cord body 2 is the first fixed part 4a, and the part where the other end of each flat rubber cord 3 is fixed to the cord body 2 is the second fixed part 4b.
[0019] Furthermore, each flat rubber cord 3 is formed so that the length from the first fixing part 4a to the second fixing part 4b is shorter than the length from the first fixing part 4a to the second fixing part 4b in the cord body 2. In this case, it is preferable that the length from the first fixing part 4a to the second fixing part 4b in each flat rubber cord 3 is sufficiently short so that each flat rubber cord 3 is stretched and tensed before the cord body 2 is stretched and tensed when the ends 2a, 2b of the cord body 2 are pulled. In this way, when using the temporary cord 1, each flat rubber cord 3 can be easily put into a tensed state by simply wrapping the cord body 2 around the wearer's waist and tying it tightly.
[0020] Furthermore, the temporary string 1 uses flat rubber strings 3 with slightly different lengths from the first fixed portion 4a to the second fixed portion 4b. Specifically, the second flat rubber string 3b, which is placed over the first flat rubber string 3a, is slightly longer than the first flat rubber string 3a, which is placed furthest from the inside of the string body 2 (placed at the bottom in Fig. 4), and the third flat rubber string 3c, which is placed closest to the inside of the string body 2 (placed at the top in Fig. 4), is formed to be slightly longer than the first flat rubber string 3a and the second flat rubber string 3b.
[0021] Then, when the string body 2 is tied tightly around the wearer's waist to put each flat rubber cord 3 under tension, and the obi 11 is passed between these flat rubber cords 3 and sandwiched therein, the second flat rubber cord 3b and the third flat rubber cord 3c are slightly less tense than the first flat rubber cord 3a, which is the shortest. Therefore, even after each flat rubber cord 3 is under tension, the obi 11 can be passed between each flat rubber cord 3 (first flat rubber cord 3a, second flat rubber cord 3b, third flat rubber cord 3c) with a moderate amount of force, making it easier to tie the obi.
[0022] The temporary string 1 is constructed as described above. Next, an example of tying a sash using the temporary string 1 will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 2(a), above the knot of the obi 11, the inside of the temporary string 1 is placed on the wearer's body side and the flat elastic string 3 is placed on the wearer's back side, the string body 2 is wrapped around the waist and temporarily knotted on the front side. Next, although not shown, the hanging end 11a of the obi 11 is folded accordion-like to adjust its length, and then it is passed between the kimono 10 and the first flat elastic string 3a and sandwiched therein, and then it is passed between the first flat elastic string 3a and the second flat elastic string 3b and sandwiched therein, and the shape of the hanging end 11a in the accordion-like folded state is maintained by the flat elastic string 3.
[0023] After that, with the end 11b of the obi 11 spread out like a ribbon, it is passed between the second flat elastic cord 3b and the third flat elastic cord 3c and sandwiched, and the shape of the end 11b is held by the flat elastic cord 3. Then, the overall shape of the obi 11 is adjusted, and the temporarily knotted string body 2 is re-tied. This allows the shape of the obi knot to be maintained by the temporary string 1, as shown in Figure 2(b). When re-tying the string body 2, it is preferable to arrange it so that it looks good, for example by tying it like an obiage or a ribbon.
[0024] Next, the function and effect of the temporary string 1 will be described. The temporary string 1 has a string body 2 made of lace fabric or the like, and the string body 2 itself has a gorgeous appearance, so even if the string body 2 is exposed, it does not spoil the appearance. Therefore, there is no need to hide the string body 2 by tucking it between the kimono 10 and the obi 11, or to hide it with an obiage. Therefore, there is no need to take the time to hide the string body 2, and an obiage is also unnecessary. In addition, since the temporary string 1 has the flat elastic string 3 attached to the inside of the string body 2, when the temporary string 1 is fixed around the wearer's waist with the inside of the temporary string 1 facing the wearer's body, the flat elastic string 3 is hidden by the string body 2 during use. Therefore, the flat elastic string 3 is not easily noticeable during use. Furthermore, since there is no need to hide the string body 2, it is possible to enjoy devising ways to show off the temporary string 1 itself by tying the string body 2 like an obiage or a ribbon.
[0025] In addition, the length from the first fixing part 4a to the second fixing part 4b of each flat rubber cord 3 of the temporary cord 1 is shorter than the length from the first fixing part 4a to the second fixing part 4b of the cord body 2. Therefore, the stretching of each flat rubber cord 3 is not hindered by the cord body 2, and each flat rubber cord 3 can be easily put into a taut state just by pulling the cord body 2 and tying it tightly. Furthermore, the temporary cord 1 has three elastic members, the first flat rubber cord 3a, the second flat rubber cord 3b, and the third flat rubber cord 3c, which are stacked and fixed toward the inside of the cord body 2. Therefore, the obi 11 can be passed between the first flat rubber cord 3a, the second flat rubber cord 3b, and the third flat rubber cord 3c and held down, so it can be used in various obi tying styles. Furthermore, the cord body 2 is formed by folding a lace fabric or the like in half, so it gives a more brilliant and gorgeous impression compared to a single layer of lace fabric or the like.
[0026] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Furthermore, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the claims of the utility model registration.
[0027] For example, in the temporary string 1 according to this embodiment, an example has been shown in which the elastic member is a flat rubber string 3, but the flat rubber string 3 may be composed of other rubber strings, etc., as long as it can hold the belt 11 by its elastic force. The number of flat rubber strings 3 is not limited to three, and can be any number more than one. Furthermore, the string body 2 may be made of lace fabric, etc., folded in three or more folds, or may be made of a single layer of lace fabric, etc. The pattern of the lace fabric or the patterned or embroidered fabric is arbitrary.
