Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a decorative ribbon (decorative artificial flower made of ribbon) used to decorate objects such as bouquets. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a bouquet wrapping kit and wrapping set that can be easily attached to the binding part of a bouquet have been proposed as a way to decorate the bouquet (Patent Document 1). The bouquet wrapping kit and wrapping set described in Patent Document 1 are designed to enable anyone to easily wrap the bouquet in a uniform manner, regardless of the skill level of the person wrapping.

[0003] However, in the past, although it was easy to obtain a wrapping set for wrapping bouquets using a wrapping kit, the color was monochromatic (one color used) and made of a single material. Therefore, depending on the color of the flowers and wrapping paper used, the color may not stand out, and sufficient decorative effect may not be achieved.

[0004] Meanwhile, multi-colored decorative ribbons, also known as one-touch ribbon bows or charm bows, have been proposed, which can be easily manufactured using a pair of ribbon tapes for forming artificial flowers. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3208249 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, while conventional multi-colored decorative ribbons can attract attention due to their use of many colors, the colors of the pair of looped ribbon tapes that make up the petals of the artificial flower can be significantly different on the left and right sides, or the color can suddenly change halfway through the petals, creating an unnatural look.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-colored decorative ribbon which can have different colors for each pair of petals, is less likely to look out of place, and has excellent decorativeness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] An embodiment of the present invention comprises an artificial flower part having a pair of hanging parts made up of one end sides of a pair of ribbon tapes and the other end sides of the pair of ribbon tapes, each of which has multiple pairs of petals curved into a loop so that they are evenly spaced on the left and right, and a set of string belts arranged between the pair of ribbon tapes so that they can move relatively to each other, and is characterized in that a color scheme with a blur of at least three colors is printed on the outer surface of each of the multiple pairs of petals so that the color scheme pattern is the same on each of the pair of ribbon tapes. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a decorative ribbon with many colors, which is excellent in terms of decorativeness and does not look out of place, by making each pair of petals a different color. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 3] 2A to 2C are schematic diagrams illustrating a method for manufacturing a decorative ribbon according to the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A decorative ribbon according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Embodiment Fig. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a decorative ribbon (decorative artificial flower made of ribbon) 1 according to this embodiment. This decorative ribbon 1 is a wrapping ribbon used to decorate a decorative object (not shown), such as a product, its packaging, or a bouquet, and is configured by using a pair of aurora ribbon tapes with at least three gradations as a pair of ribbon tapes for forming an artificial flower.

[0013] That is, the decorative ribbon 1 of this embodiment is composed of a pair of hanging parts 12, 12, an artificial flower part 30, and a set of at least two attachment strings (strings) 14, 14 consisting of a pair of thin ribbon tapes for attaching the artificial flower part 30 to the object to be decorated, as shown in Figure 1, for example.

[0014] The artificial flower part 30 has seven pairs (multiple pairs) of ribbon bows 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g, each of which is curved in a loop shape so that the left and right sides are even. Each petal of the artificial flower part 30 is formed by these seven pairs of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g.

[0015] Such decorative ribbon 1 is also called a one-touch ribbon bow or charm bow, and although details will be described later, it can be easily manufactured from a pair of strips 16, 16 made of thick ribbon tape that have been pre-colored with the same color scheme.

[0016] That is, a pair of hangings 12, 12 of the decorative ribbon 1 are formed by one end side of each of a pair of strips 16, 16 consisting of a pair of aurora ribbon tapes. Similarly, each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g of the artificial flower part 30 of the decorative ribbon 1 are formed by the other end side of each of the pair of strips 16, 16. Note that each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g are arranged almost symmetrically with respect to the other end of each strip 16, 16 which becomes the flower center 31.

[0017] In this embodiment, a pair of aurora ribbon tapes is used, each of which has a color scheme with at least three gradations printed on its outer surface so as to have the same color scheme pattern (pitch) as the pair of strips 16, 16. That is, the pair of aurora ribbon tapes is printed in advance so that the color scheme changes for each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g.

[0018] This allows the artificial flower part 30 to be formed in multiple colors, with each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g having different colors. Moreover, by making each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g have different colors, it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity caused by color changes in the artificial flower part 30.

[0019] In this way, the decorative ribbon 1 according to this embodiment can have different colors for each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g of the artificial flower part 30. Therefore, even though it is multicolored, it is unlikely to cause discomfort and can have excellent decorativeness.

[0020] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, anyone can easily manufacture the product, and it is therefore possible to easily achieve a uniform appearance of the decoration, regardless of the skill of the person who decorates it.

[0021] The decorative ribbon 1 according to this embodiment will be specifically described below.

[0022] In this embodiment, a pair of ribbon tapes for forming artificial flowers is used, which consists of a pair of strips 16, 16 made by combining aurora ribbon tapes that have been pre-colored with the same color scheme, each with a three-color blur on the outer surface only.

[0023] FIG. 2 illustrates an example of an artificial flower forming ribbon tape pair 20 used to form the decorative ribbon 1 of this embodiment, with FIG. 2(a) being a schematic diagram showing the other end (artificial flower part) side, and FIG. 2(b) being a schematic diagram showing one end (hanging) side, each divided.

[0024] The pair of ribbon tapes 20 for forming artificial flowers is formed by a pair of strips 16, 16 each having a length of about 120 mm, and attachment strings 14, 14, as shown in Fig. 2. The pair of strips 16, 16 is formed by folding back a single ribbon tape piece or by overlapping two identical ribbon tape pieces.

[0025] In this embodiment, a three-color gradation color scheme in which the color variations are substantially the same pattern is printed in advance on at least the outer surface sides of the pair of strips 16, 16. In other words, the pair of strips 16, 16 are overlapped so that the color shades on both outer surfaces do not shift.

[0026] The color scheme with gradation can be, for example, a gradation of red, white, and intermediate colors such that the pitch of the color change is almost uniform. However, it is not limited to this, and can be, for example, a gradation of green, yellow, and intermediate colors, or a gradation of orange, yellow, and intermediate colors, or any combination of colors.

[0027] In addition, by using a color scheme with gradation that is similar to the color, pattern, or design of the object to be decorated or the wrapping paper, or by using a color scheme that is complementary to the object, the purchaser can choose to make the object stand out more or to make the decoration more subdued, depending on their wishes.

[0028] The color scheme is not limited to printing, but may be written (colored) or dyed, and the inner surfaces of the pair of strips 16, 16 may also be colored with gradation.

[0029] In particular, the pitch of the color change may be matched to the spacing between the joints 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g that define the loop size of each loop of the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g, allowing the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g to have different colors.

[0030] In addition, the degree of color change before and after each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g can be made to look less unnatural.

[0031] The pair of strips 16, 16 on which such a gradated color scheme is printed have a uniform ribbon tape width (preferably, about 25 mm to 40 mm) in the short side length.

[0032] Between the pair of strips 16, 16 (on the inner surface side), the mounting cords 14, 14 are arranged so that their longitudinal axis substantially coincides with the longitudinal axis of the pair of strips 16, 16 (substantially on the same plane).

[0033] The attachment strings 14, 14 are made of the same material as the pair of strips 16, 16 (or a different material), and are formed of two ribbon tapes narrower than the ribbon tape width of the pair of strips 16, 16 (preferably about 5 mm to 13 mm wide).

[0034] 2(a), one end of each of the attachment strings 14, 14 is joined (connected) to a pair of strips 16, 16 at the other end in the longitudinal direction by joints 27, 27. The other end of each of the pair of strips 16, 16 has its tip cut at a specified angle to be processed into a substantially triangular flower center 31.

[0035] On the other hand, one end of each of the pair of strips 16, 16 has a tip portion cut into a substantially triangular shape (V-shape) as shown in FIG. 2(b), for example.

[0036] The pair of strips 16, 16 are provided with joints 28a, 28a, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, and 28g, 28g at multiple locations (seven locations in the illustrated example) in the longitudinal direction.

[0037] Each of the joints 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, and 28g, 28g respectively joins only a pair of strips 16, 16 to each other near both outer sides of the mounting strings 14, 14 in the short direction.

[0038] That is, the joints 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g are arranged at at least two points near both outer sides of the mounting strings 14, 14 along each imaginary line 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, 26g which are imaginarily provided at a predetermined distance (spacing) and angle from each other in the longitudinal direction of the pair of strips 16, 16.

[0039] In this way, by avoiding the joining of the pair of strips 16,16 to the mounting strings 14,14 except at the joints 27,27, it is possible to move the pair of strips 16,16 relative to the mounting strings 14,14 (or move the mounting strings 14,14 relative to the pair of strips 16,16), for example, starting from the flower center 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, the angles of each virtual line 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, and 26g are defined, for example, to be approximately 90 degrees, 45 degrees, -45 degrees, 45 degrees, -45 degrees, 45 degrees, and -45 degrees from one side with respect to the short direction perpendicular to the long direction of the pair of strips 16, 16, respectively.

[0041] In other words, when the artificial flower part 30 is formed, the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g and the hangings 12, 12 are adjusted so that they are oriented symmetrically on the left and right sides, depending on the angles of each joint 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g.

[0042] In contrast, the spacing between each virtual line 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, 26g is determined, for example, in accordance with the size of the loops of each of the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g, respectively, in the longitudinal direction of the pair of strips 16, 16.

[0043] In other words, the size of the loops of each loop of the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g is determined depending on the spacing between each joint 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g.

[0044] Therefore, by printing on the outer surfaces of a pair of strips 16, 16 so that the pitch of the blurred color scheme changes according to the distance between each virtual line 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, 26g, it is possible to change the color of each of the ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g.

[0045] In other words, by matching the pitch of the printed color scheme to the spacing between each joint 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, and 28g, 28g, it is possible to make the color different for each ribbon bow 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g.

[0046] In addition, the angle and spacing of each virtual line 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, 26g can be set or changed as appropriate depending on the shape (size of the loop) of the ribbon bow 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g of the artificial flower part 30 to be formed, the angle or color scheme of the hanging parts 12, 12, etc.

[0047] In other words, by changing the angle and spacing of the virtual lines 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, 26e, 26f, 26g, it is possible to easily form artificial flower parts 30 having ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g and hangings 12, 12 with different shapes, directions or colors, and which give greatly different impressions.

[0048] Furthermore, at each joint 27, 27, 28a, 28a, 28b, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g, when the pair of strips 16, 16 and the mounting strings 14, 14 are made of the same material, for example, synthetic fibers (chemical fibers) such as polyester, nylon, or polypropylene, or synthetic resin, they are simultaneously joined to each other by thermal welding using a heat source such as ultrasound.

[0049] When the pair of strips 16, 16 and the attachment strings 14, 14 are made of different materials, they may be joined to each other at the same time by thermal melting.

[0050] Also, instead of using heat welding or heat melting, it is possible to form each of the joints 27, 27, 28a, 28b, 28c, 28c, 28d, 28d, 28e, 28e, 28f, 28f, 28g, 28g by, for example, sewing with thread, bonding with adhesive, fastening with a stapler, fasteners such as hooks, etc. In this case, it is also possible to use ribbon tape made of natural materials.

[0051] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a method for forming the decorative ribbon 1 according to this embodiment.

[0052] When manufacturing the decorative ribbon 1, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the ends of the attachment strings 14, 14 of the pair of ribbon tapes 20 for forming artificial flowers are supported with one hand by a store clerk or the like who decorates the object to be decorated, while the pair of strips 16, 16 are moved relatively along the longitudinal direction of the attachment strings 14, 14 with the other hand.

[0053] Alternatively, the attachment strings 14, 14 may be pulled upward with the center of the flower 31 facing downward.

[0054] As a result, by pulling out the attachment strings 14, 14 from the root portions (base ends) of the pair of hanging portions 12, 12, the artificial flower portion 30 of the decorative ribbon 1 is formed, consisting of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g of alternating different colors, as shown in Figure 1, for example.

[0055] In this case, ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g are formed by the other end sides of the pair of strips 16, 16, and sagging 12, 12 are formed by one end sides of the pair of strips 16, 16.

[0056] The artificial flower part 30 thus formed is prevented from losing its shape when attached to an object to be decorated (not shown) by forming a knot with the attachment strings 14, 14, for example, at the base end of the hangings 12, 12. After the artificial flower part 30 is attached to the object to be decorated, the attachment strings 14, 14 are cut to an appropriate length so as not to be noticeable.

[0057] That is, when decorating an object to be decorated, for example, the artificial flower part 30 is attached to the object to be decorated by tying the attachment strings 14, 14 to the object to be decorated, and then the artificial flower part 30 is adjusted so that it is on the decorative surface (front) of the object to be decorated, and the excess parts of the attachment strings 14, 14 are cut off. Finally, the shape of the artificial flower part 30 is adjusted, and the decoration of the object to be decorated with the decorative ribbon 1 is completed.

[0058] This makes it possible to decorate the object more gorgeously with ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g of different colors, as if they were formed from a plurality of ribbon tapes.

[0059] In particular, it is possible to change the color of each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g almost symmetrically on the left and right sides of the artificial flower part 30.

[0060] Furthermore, due to the synergistic effect of gradation, it is possible to gradually change the color in each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g.

[0061] Therefore, even if the colors of each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g are made different, it is possible to create an artificial flower part 30 that is less likely to look out of place and has more vibrant and varied colors.

[0062] As described above, according to this embodiment, each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, and 32g, 32g has a different color, making it possible to create an artificial flower part 30 that is less likely to look strange.

[0063] That is, in the decorative ribbon 1 of this embodiment, each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g is formed using a pair of strips 16, 16 printed so that the color scheme with gradation has the same pattern.

[0064] This makes it possible to easily form the artificial flower part 30 in which each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g has a different color, and the synergistic effect of the shading makes it possible to gradually change the color of each pair of ribbon bows 32a, 32a, 32b, 32b, 32c, 32c, 32d, 32d, 32e, 32e, 32f, 32f, 32g, 32g.

[0065] Therefore, regardless of the person's skill, it is possible to easily decorate the object to be decorated more gorgeously without any sense of incongruity, which is expected to greatly increase the purchasing motivation of purchasers (those who wish to decorate). [Explanation of symbols]
