Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cloth product having a decorated portion, such as a charm bag. [Background technology]

[0002] One technology related to the amulet bag, an example of a fabric product, is an "amulet structure" that has a retroreflective function (Patent Document 1). The structure described in Patent Document 1 includes a thin plate-like bag made of a transparent synthetic resin sheet material, and retroreflective material is provided on both the front and back of this thin plate-like bag. This structure provides an amulet bag that reflects light to ensure the safety of those around the wearer at night. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3242367 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the structure disclosed in the talisman structure of Patent Document 1, appropriate miraculous effects such as "prayer for traffic safety" and "safety in the home" are written on the talisman, and the talisman is placed inside a thin plate-like pouch. However, in the talisman structure of Patent Document 1, the thin plate-like pouch is essential, which limits the freedom of design for the miraculous effects.

[0005] Although there were charm bags woven with gold or silver threads, they had a monotonous aesthetic appearance.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a fabric product which can be freely designed and which is focused on improving the aesthetic appearance by reflecting light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention uses a jewel thread, which is a thread having a jewel layer in which a number of jewel particles are dispersed and a translucent protective layer that covers the plurality of jewel particles from the outside, and has an ornamental part formed by weaving the jewel thread so that it appears on the surface, or by embroidering with the jewel thread.

[0008] In the fabric product of the above configuration, the jewel layer is covered with a translucent protective layer, and there is no material in the fabric product that hides the jewel thread. In the jewel layer, light is reflected by a plurality of jewel particles, and the jewel thread can be freely woven or embroidered as the part that appears on the surface, so that a unique aesthetic appearance can be created in the fabric product.

[0009] In the present invention, the jewel thread is in a belt shape, and has a configuration in which each of the layers, a base layer made of paper, an inner resin film layer that has a metallic luster and translucency on at least the inner surface, the jewel layer in which the plurality of jewel particles are dispersed in an adhesive, and the protective layer made of a resin film that has translucency, is arranged in order from the inside to the outside in the thickness direction, and two sets of the sets are combined on the front and back with the base layer on the inside.

[0010] In the above-mentioned configuration, the strength of the jewel thread is secured by the base layer, and the inner resin film layer can further add various aesthetics to the jewel thread. Furthermore, by combining two sets of the above-mentioned layers on the front and back, it is possible to make the belt-like jewel thread appear on the surface of the fabric product look beautiful regardless of whether it is on the front or back.

[0011] In the present invention, the fabric product can be a charm bag having an internal storage space for storing amulets provided by a religious facility, and the decorative part can have a design related to the religious facility or a design related to the benefit that the amulet claims to bring.

[0012] In the above configuration, a unique amulet bag (fabric product) can be provided as the decorative part. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The fabric products of the present invention can be freely designed because they can be given unique aesthetic looks through weaving and embroidery. In addition, the fabric products can be made to have excellent aesthetic looks depending on the type of gemstone used in the gemstone particles. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the amulet bag according to one embodiment of the present invention, focusing on the decorative part. [Diagram 2] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a set of jewel threads in the decorative portion. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] A fabric product according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. The fabric product of the present invention is, for example, a charm bag 1. The charm bag 1 has an internal storage space (not shown) in which charms provided by religious facilities can be stored, and the characters "charm" and a scene of "Mt. Fuji" are arranged on the surface 2 of the charm bag 1 as a decorative part 3. In other words, as the decorative part 3, jewel thread 4 is woven into the charm bag 1 so that it appears on the surface 2 of the charm bag 1, forming the characters "charm" and a scene of "Mt. Fuji."

[0016] Also, on the front surface 2 or the back surface of the charm bag 1 (not shown), a design related to a religious facility or a design related to the benefit the charm claims may be woven or embroidered as a decorative part. For example, a design related to a religious facility may be the design of the gate of a Sengen Shrine. Also, the benefit the charm claims may be, for example, a prayer for safety in the home or safe childbirth.

[0017] Here, the structure of the jewel thread 4, which is the decorative part 3, will be described. The jewel thread 4 is strip-shaped. Specifically, the width of the jewel thread 4 is strip-shaped, for example, 0.275 mm (shown as width d1), and multiple jewel threads 4 are wefted and woven into the surface 2 to form the characters "omamori" (amulet) and the design of "Mt. Fuji" in FIG. 1. The width d1 of the weft threads forming "omamori" and "Mt. Fuji" is strip-shaped. For this reason, there is a slight gap between adjacent weft threads (jewel threads 4) (see the enlarged portion of FIG. 1). However, the weft threads (jewel threads 4) may be in close contact with each other.

[0018] Here, the jewel thread 4 is composed of various layers, and each layer will be described with reference to the cross-sectional view (schematic cross-sectional view) of Fig. 2. The jewel thread 4 is composed of a base layer 5, an inner resin film layer 6, a jewel layer 7, and a protective layer 8, and each layer is arranged from the inside to the outside in the thickness direction.

[0019] The base layer 5 is made of paper, in this case Japanese paper. The inner resin film layer 6 has a metallic luster 6a (formed by vapor deposition of metal particles) at least on the inside and is translucent. The gem layer 7 has a large number of gem particles 9 dispersed therein. The protective layer 8 is made of a translucent resin film.

[0020] In this embodiment, the inner resin film layer 6 and the protective layer 8 are polyester films. The gem layer 7 contains, for example, diamond powder, and the amount of gem used is 400 g (2000 carats) for 120 cm x 1000 m.

[0021] As an example of the dimensions of each layer in the thickness direction, θ1 of the base layer 5 is 15 microns, θ2 of the inner resin film layer 6 is 12 microns, θ3 of the jewel layer 7 is 12 microns, and θ4 of the protective layer 8 is 6 microns, with the total dimension of each layer in the thickness direction being 45 microns. Also, as an example, the jewel thread 4 (however, this is an intermediate stage in forming the jewel thread 4, and is a foil set 10 described later) is formed to have a width of 120 cm and a length of 1000 m.

[0022] For example, a water-based adhesive is used as the adhesive between the base layer 5 and the inner resin film layer 6. More specifically, [Miyaconol U·271 (product name)] is used. Casein resin is used as the adhesive for dispersing the gem particles 9 in the gem layer 7, and contains ammonia, water, and alcohol. The adhesive for dispersing the gem particles 9 may contain blue, red, yellow, or black dyes (or pigments). The gem particles 9 are, for example, 3 to 5 microns in size, and are incorporated into the gem layer 7 (θ3).

[0023] The foil thus formed has the thickness, width, and length described above. The foil is then folded in half, for example, in the length direction (1000 m). That is, it is folded in half at the base layer 5 side. Thus, the foil has a set 10 in which each layer is arranged in order from the inside to the outside. That is, by folding, two sets 10 are combined on the front and back to form a double-sided foil. However, only one set 10 is shown in FIG. 2.

[0024] This double-sided foil, i.e., the two sets 10, are formed into a strip with a width d1 (see FIG. 1). In this case, the two sets 10 (double-sided foil) are cut, for example, by a micro-slitter to complete the jewel thread 4. With this configuration, 2000 jewel threads 4 with a width of 0.275 mm and a length of 1000 m can be produced. When the two sets 10 are combined on the front and back by folding, the base layers 5 are bonded together, and for this, for example, Miyaconol Mx·27·27 (product name) is used.

[0025] In this embodiment, the jewel thread 4 is woven as a weft into the fabric 11 of the amulet bag 1 to form the decorative part 3. The jewel thread 4 is formed so as to appear on the front surface 2 (front surface 2 and back surface) of the amulet bag 1 using a technique such as jacquard weaving.

[0026] In the amulet bag 1 configured as above, the gemstone layer 7 of the gemstone thread 4 is covered with a translucent protective layer 8. The amulet bag 1 does not have any material that hides the gemstone thread 4, and in the decorative parts 3 that make up the "amulet" and "Mt. Fuji", the gemstone layer 7 reflects light due to multiple gemstone particles 9, and the gemstone thread 4 can be freely woven in as the part that appears on the surface 2. This allows the amulet bag 1 to be given a free and unique aesthetic look.

[0027] In the amulet bag 1 configured as above, the strength of the jewel thread 4 is ensured by the base layer 5. In addition, since the inner resin film layer 6 is translucent, the metallic luster 6a of the inner resin film layer 6 can further add various aesthetic aspects to the jewel thread 4. Furthermore, by combining two sets of each layer on the front and back, it is possible to make the belt-shaped jewel thread 4 appear on the surface 2 of the amulet bag 1 look beautiful regardless of its front or back.

[0028] Furthermore, even if the surface 2 of the amulet bag 1 rubs against surrounding objects, the gemstone thread 4 has a protective layer 8 (resin film) so that the gemstone particles 9 will not fall off from the gemstone layer 7, and therefore the aesthetic appearance of the decorative part 3 will not be marred. In particular, there are slight gaps between adjacent weft threads (gemstone threads 4), which may make the surface 2 of the amulet bag 1 more susceptible to rubbing against surrounding objects, but since the gemstone thread 4 has a protective layer 8, the gemstone particles 9 will not fall off from the gemstone layer 7.

[0029] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the inner resin film layer 6 has a metallic luster 6a on the inner surface and is translucent, but may also have a metallic luster on the outer surface. In this case, the metallic luster on the outer surface can further add various aesthetic aspects to the jewel thread 4.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the two sets 10 of jewel threads 4 are folded and combined on the front and back to form a double-sided foil, but the set 10 of jewel threads 4 can be one set without folding. Also, two sets of completely separated foils can be combined.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the cloth product is a charm bag 1. However, it can also be configured so that the decorative part is woven or embroidered on the cloth that covers the surface of the stamp book (not shown) in which you receive a stamp when visiting a shrine or temple. In addition, the jewel thread 4 can be applied to various cloth products. [Explanation of symbols]
