Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to ofuda (paper charms) and ofuda (paper charms with cases), which are a type of talisman distributed at shrines and temples, and are useful as charms (including amulets) that are placed in Shinto altars or Buddhist altars, or attached to gates or pillars to pray for the protection of gods and Buddhas. [Background technology]

[0002] Amulets and other protective charms, which are a type of gift given out at shrines, are stored in bags made of decorative fabrics such as gold brocade to prevent damage and soiling, and for decorative purposes, these are stored in bags made of vinyl or other materials for protection. Furthermore, most of the charms are flat in structure and lack decorativeness.

[0003] For this reason, it was necessary to prepare plastic bags separately, which not only caused the cost to rise, but also caused environmental pollution because the discarded plastic bags did not decompose. Also, there is a demand for talismans that have a certain degree of rigidity and decorativeness that contributes to sales promotion.

[0004] In other words, although the bags for storing the talismans and the like were made from highly decorative woven fabrics such as brocade (see, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 3202264), no special ingenuity was put into the decoration of the talismans and the like themselves (see, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 3241272).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0015] Fig. 1 is a plan view showing an ofuda in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, an ofuda I in this embodiment has an ofuda body 4 (see Fig. 5) on which the characters 4a of the prayer are written, and a decorative mount layered on the ofuda body 4 for decorative purposes. The decorative mount is a layered structure of strip-shaped members consisting of at least two (two in this embodiment) decorative members 1 and 2 of different colors and a color member 3 that determines the color of the pattern described below. Here, the color member 3 is layered so as to be a layer below the lowest decorative member 2 and above the ofuda body 4.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the topmost decorative member that constitutes the decorative mount in an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the bottommost decorative member, and FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the color members of the decorative mount.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the topmost decorative member 1 has a cutout window 1a in the center for viewing the characters 4a on the talisman body 4, and a diamond pattern 1b with a transparent window 1c is formed around the cutout window 1a. In this embodiment, three diamond patterns 1b are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction at symmetrical positions. The number of diamond patterns 1b is not limited to three (the same applies below to the number of patterns). The pattern is not limited to the diamond pattern 1b. There is no particular restriction as long as the pattern has a transparent window 1c (the same applies below to the pattern). The recess 1d is intended to allow the entire pattern 2b (see FIG. 3) of the lower decorative member 2 to be viewed from the upper layer, and is configured to form part of the outer edge of the pattern 2b.

[0018] The lower decorative member 2 shown in Fig. 3 has a cutout window 2a in the center for viewing the characters 4a on the talisman body 4 of the lowest layer, and a diamond pattern 2b with a transparent window 2c is formed around the cutout window 2a. In this embodiment, two diamond patterns 2b are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction at symmetrical positions. The cutout window 2a is narrower than the cutout window 1a, and the diamond pattern 2b is formed in the middle position between the two diamond patterns 1b on the top and bottom. In other words, the diamond pattern 2b and the diamond pattern 1b are formed at positions offset from each other with respect to one side of the cutout window 2a in the longitudinal direction. The recess 2d is formed so that the surface of the color member 3 can be viewed through the transparent window 1c of the pattern 1b of the upper decorative member 1.

[0019] The color member 3 shown in Fig. 4 has a cutout window 3a in the center for visually viewing the characters 4a on the bill body 4, and around the cutout window 3a, there are formed protrusions 3b corresponding to the position of the transparent window 1c and protrusions 3c corresponding to the position of the transparent window 2c. In this embodiment, five protrusions 3b and 3c are formed at equal intervals in the vertical direction at symmetrical positions corresponding to the diamond patterns 1b and 2b. Thus, the color member 3 is shaped so that its surface can be visually viewed through the transparent windows 1c and 2c of the decorative members 1 and 2.

[0020] 6 and 7 are plan views showing the spacers on the upper layer of the bill in this embodiment. Spacer 5 shown in Fig. 6 is interposed between decorative members 1 and 2, and spacer 6 shown in Fig. 7 is interposed between decorative member 2 and color member 3. This is to adjust the thickness of the bill I and obtain the necessary rigidity.

[0021] <Second Form> In this embodiment, a decorative member 1 shown in Fig. 2 and a decorative member 2 shown in Fig. 3 are laminated to form a decorative mount, which is then laminated on top of the talisman body 4. More specifically, the decorative mount is formed by laminating at least two rectangular decorative members 1 and 2, each with a different surface color.

[0022] Moreover, the decorative members 1 and 2 of this embodiment are configured to satisfy the following requirements. 1) The center of each decorative member 1, 2 has a cutout window 1a, 2a, respectively, through which the characters 4a on the talisman body 4 can be seen. 2) Around the cutout windows 1a, 2a, patterns 1b, 2b having transparent windows 1c, 2c are formed. 3) The position of the pattern 1b of the upper decorative member 1 is shifted from the position of the pattern 2b of the lower decorative member 2 in the direction of one side of the cutout windows 1a, 2a. 4) The upper decorative member 1 has a recess 1d formed therein so that the entire pattern of the lower decorative member 2 can be seen. 5) The lower decorative member 2 has a recess 2d formed therein so that the surface of the talisman body 4 can be seen through the transparent window 1c of the pattern 1b of the upper decorative member 1.

[0023] <Third Form> In this embodiment, the decorative member 2 shown in Fig. 3 and the color member 3 shown in Fig. 4 are layered to form a decorative mount, which is then layered on top of the talisman body 4. More specifically, the decorative mount is formed by layering the rectangular decorative member 2 and the color member 3, which has the same shape as the decorative member 2 but a different surface color, with the color member 3 being the lower layer.

[0024] Moreover, the decorative member 2 and the color member 3 in this embodiment are configured to satisfy the following requirements. 1) The decorative member 2 and the color member 3 each have a cutout window 2a, 3a in the center for visually viewing the characters 4a on the talisman body 4. 2) Around the cutout window 2a of the decorative member 2, a pattern 2b having a transparent window 2c is formed. 3) The color member 3 is formed in a shape such that the surface thereof can be seen through the transmission window 2c. For this reason, in this embodiment, a protrusion is provided at the position corresponding to the position of the transmission window 2c.

[0025] In this embodiment, the recess 2d of the decorative member 2 is not necessarily required, since there is no upper decorative member 1. In this case, the pattern 2b may be formed in this portion instead of the recess 2d.

[0026] <Fourth Form> Fig. 8 is a plan view showing a case mount in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, case mount 11 has a front surface 13 having a rectangular (or pentagonal) cutout window 12 in the center, a flat surface 14 continuing from front surface 13, a right side surface 15, a left side surface 16, a bottom surface 17, a back surface 18 continuing from right side surface 15 (or the left side), and a cover surface 19 continuing from flat surface 14. A decorative fabric 20 made of gold brocade or the like is attached to the front side of case mount 11.

[0027] Fig. 9 is a plan view showing the front side of a decorative textile to be affixed to the case mount shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 10 is a plan view showing the back side thereof. As shown in both figures, a specific decorative pattern is formed on the front side of textile 20, and tape 21 with adhesive applied to the back side is affixed to the back side. Thus, textile 20 is affixed to case mount 11 as shown in Fig. 11 so that the edge portion including notched window 12 is hidden by the entire front side of case mount 11. In other words, the portion of textile 20 that abuts the edge portion is folded back inward (to the back side).

[0028] Case mount 11 has right side 15, left side 16 and bottom 17 as shown in Fig. 8 folded at right angles to front 13, and back 18 folded at right angles to right side 15 to form case II with a space formed inside front 13, right side 15, left side 16, back 18 and bottom 17. This is shown in the upper part of Fig. 12.

[0029] After inserting and storing the talisman I (see Figs. 1 to 7) into the space of case II from its opening, flat surface 14 (see Fig. 1) is folded at a right angle to front surface 13 to close the opening of the space with flat surface 14, and then lid surface 19 is folded at a right angle to flat surface 14 and affixed to the front side of back surface 18 to seal the space. The bottom part of Fig. 12 shows the sealed state in this manner. At this time, lid surface 19 may be made short, folded at a right angle to front surface 13, and inserted between the back side of back surface 18 and talisman I to seal the space.

[0030] Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing a cased bill in which a bill is stored in the case according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the cased bill III according to this embodiment is used with a bill II sealed in the case I. In this case, a string 31 may be provided.

[0031] Fig. 14 is a perspective view showing the back side of a case mount according to another embodiment of the present invention with a woven fabric attached thereto, corresponding to Fig. 11. In this figure, the same parts as those in Fig. 11 are given the same numbers, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 14, in this embodiment, the fabric along the three sides of the back surface 28 other than the side that is continuous with the right side surface 15 is provided with folded-back portions 21a, 21b, and 21c, which are folded back inward. Similarly, folded-back portions 21d and 21d are also folded back inward. The cover surface 29 is folded back inward with a fold margin similar to that of folded-back portions 21a to 21e.

[0033] Thus, in case IV according to this embodiment, the folded-back portions 21a-21e are each folded inward, and the right side surface 15, the left side surface 16, and the bottom surface 17 are folded so that they are each perpendicular to the front surface 13, and at the same time, the back surface 28 is folded so that it has an appropriate angle with the right side surface 15. The bill I is placed in the space between the front surface 13 and the back surface 28 that is formed as a result. Next, the cover surface 29 is folded so that it is perpendicular to the plane 14, and finally the bill I is placed in the space between the front surface 13 and the back surface 29 to complete the bill with case.
