Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to carp streamers and carp streamer kits.

Background Art

[0002] Carp streamers are decorated to celebrate the growth of boys during the Dragon Boat Festival. And common carp streamers have patterns such as eyeballs and scales drawn on them, making it immediately clear that they are in the shape of a carp.

[0003] As a conventional carp streamer, for example, Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3155098) discloses a carp streamer provided with a reflector that reflects the irradiated light.

[0004] Also, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-279314) discloses that a transfer layer capable of transferring images such as photos and designs of commemorative children and parents is formed on a part of the carp streamer.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Conventional carp streamers absolutely had to depict scales in order to use the carp, a fish symbolizing success in life, as a motif. Also, as in Patent Document 2, since carp streamers are for the family that owns the carp streamer after all, while depicting scales, they were made to be able to transfer photos and designs of children and parents in part.

[0007] In addition, in corporate activities and other group activities, in addition to promotion and advertising on the Internet using SNS or the like, a more effective promotion and advertising method is being sought for promotion and advertising for customers who visited an event or the like, or for actual promotion and advertising in front of a store.

[0008] The inventor considered that if it is not a carp streamer for the family, there is no problem even if scales are not particularly drawn, and since it can be immediately understood that it is a carp streamer by looking at the overall shape, it can be used for promotion and advertising of carp streamers, and thus came up with the present invention.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] According to the carp streamer of the present invention, it is characterized in that patterns, characters, and / or photographs are drawn without drawing scales on the body. By adopting this configuration, instead of drawing scales on the body, predetermined patterns, characters, and / or photographs are drawn, so that, for example, a company logo, catchphrase, etc. can be drawn and used for promoting and advertising the company, and also the name of a professional sports team or a mascot can be drawn and used for promoting and advertising the team. Furthermore, a national flag or the like can be adopted as the pattern, and when there are visitors from that country, a welcoming intention can be incorporated.

[0010] Also, it may be characterized in that patterns, characters, and / or photographs are drawn on the front fin, rear fin, dorsal fin, and / or tail fin. Each fin of a normal carp streamer is generally white or the same color as the body, but by also drawing patterns, characters, and / or photographs on each fin, it can further attract people's attention, and thus can further contribute to promotion and advertising.

[0011] Also, it may be characterized in that eyeballs are drawn on the head, and a wavy line or curve corresponding to the gill is drawn at the boundary between the head and the body. According to this configuration, since the presence of the eyeballs and the wavy or curved lines at the boundary between the head and the body are recognized as a carp streamer, it is clear that it is a carp streamer, and it is not just a promotional or advertising streamer. Instead, as a carp streamer, it can attract people's attention and further enhance the promotional and advertising effect.

[0012] Further, it may be characterized in that wavy or curved lines corresponding to a mustache are drawn in the lower front side of the eyeballs on the head. The presence of the mustache makes it clearer that it is a carp streamer.

[0013] Further, it may be characterized in that it is formed by a flat plate made of synthetic resin, wood, or metal having the contour of a carp. According to this configuration, even if it is not a cloth-made carp streamer as in the prior art, it can be used for promotion and advertising.

[0014] Further, the carp streamer formed by the flat plate may be characterized in that it is formed by cutting out from a single flat plate material.

[0015] According to the carp streamer kit according to the present invention, it is a carp streamer kit having the carp streamer according to claim 6 and the flat plate material, wherein the flat plate material is configured to be cut out such that one or more of the carp streamers and a rod member on which one or more of the carp streamers can be mounted are cut out, and insertion holes are formed such that the cut-out rod member is inserted into the surface of the flat plate material. When the rod member is inserted into the insertion holes and one or more of the carp streamers are mounted on the rod member, the flat plate material is configured to serve as a base. By adopting this configuration, for example, when a carp streamer kit in which a company logo, a team name, etc. are drawn on the carp streamer is adopted as a novelty good or a product, a person who obtains this carp streamer kit can assemble the carp streamer by himself / herself, which is very useful for advertising and promotion of companies, teams, etc. Moreover, since the remaining part obtained by cutting out the carp streamer and the rod member can be used as a base, the carp streamer can be stably set up, and the cut-out part can be prevented from being wasted.

[0016] In addition, a mounting hole for mounting the carp streamer is formed in the rod member, and a mounting portion for being inserted into the mounting hole and fixed to the rod member is formed at a position corresponding to the mouth of one or a plurality of the carp streamers. This may be a feature. According to this configuration, the carp streamer can be mounted on the rod member in a stable state.

[0017] Further, the insertion hole is formed in a cross shape, and an auxiliary member mounted in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the rod member is configured to be cut out from the flat plate material at a portion inserted into the insertion hole of the rod member, and the rod member and the auxiliary member are inserted into the cross-shaped insertion hole. This may be a feature. According to this configuration, since the rod member is fixed by the cross-shaped insertion hole, the rod member can be stably erected on the flat plate material without tilting.

Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, the carp streamer can be used for publicity and advertising.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the carp streamer of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a basic carp streamer in which a conventional pattern is drawn on the head of the carp streamer and the other parts are plain without scales drawn. The carp streamer 10 is formed by sewing a cloth made of synthetic resin so as to be cylindrical as a whole, and the mouth 19 is always open.

[0021] To explain each part of the carp streamer 10, the carp streamer 10 is composed of a head 11, a body 12, a tail fin 14, a front fin 15, a rear fin 16, and a dorsal fin 18. Note that the head 11, the body 12, and the tail fin 14 are physically integrated, and their boundaries are distinguished by the patterns drawn. The front fin 15, the rear fin 16, and the dorsal fin 18 are attached to the body 12.

[0022] On the head 11, eyeballs 20, wavy lines 21 corresponding to gills, and wavy lines 22 corresponding to beards are drawn. Here, wavy lines are drawn on the parts corresponding to gills and beards, but these may be simple curves. Also, although two wavy lines 21 corresponding to gills are drawn, it is not limited to two, and other numbers may be used. Note that around the eyeballs 20, the wavy lines 21 corresponding to gills and the wavy lines 22 corresponding to beards are painted black, but it is not limited to black.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which a national flag pattern is drawn. In the following embodiments, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, a large sun is drawn on the body 12, and small suns are drawn on the front fin 15 and the rear fin 16. The suns on the body 12, the front fin 15, and the rear fin 16 are red, and the area around the suns is white.

[0024] Also, the same color as the color of the sun is drawn on the tail fin 14. The tail fin 14 and the body 12 are separated by a curve. However, the pattern of the tail fin 14 is not limited to this. The dorsal fin 18 remains white. However, a sun pattern may also be drawn on the dorsal fin 18, or it may be painted the same red color as the sun.

[0025] By drawing a sun on the carp streamer 10 in this way, this carp streamer can be hoisted at national events such as the National Sports Festival and the National Tree Planting Festival. In addition to the sun, patterns of national flags of other countries such as the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack may be drawn. By drawing the pattern of the national flag of another country on the carp streamer 10, the intention of welcome can be expressed when welcoming visitors from overseas. Also, the carp streamer 10 with the national flag of one's own country drawn on it can be provided as a souvenir for tourists visiting Japan from various countries.

[0026] FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the logo of a sports team or a corporate logo is drawn. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, a large logo of a sports team is drawn on the body 12, and a corporate logo is drawn from the body 12 to the tail fin 14. Also, a character of the sports team is drawn on the front fin 15, and another logo of the sports team is drawn on the rear fin 16. Since the front fin 15 and the rear fin 16 have a small area, it is preferable to draw a design that is used subordinately, such as a character, rather than the main logo of the sports team or the corporate logo.

[0027] From the head 11 to a part of the body 12, two colors of the team colors of the sports team are painted separately. Specifically, from the lower part of the head 11 to the dorsal fin 18, it is colored in a diagonal straight line shape. The side of the head 11 is painted in a dark color, and the side from the body 12 to the tail fin 14 is painted in a light color. In addition, since the streamer 18 is also painted in different colors on the head 11 side and the tail fin 14 side like this, it is also excellent in terms of design.

[0028] By drawing the logo of the sports team on the carp streamer 10 in this way, on the game day of the team, hanging this carp streamer 10 at the game venue can serve as support for the team, and if it is sold as team goods, it can also be used as support goods for the fans of the team, contributing to the promotion and advertisement of the team. In addition, by drawing the corporate logo on the carp streamer 10, it contributes to the promotion and advertisement of the company by hanging it in the storefront or distributing it to customers as novelty goods.

[0029] Fig. 4 shows an embodiment with characters drawn. In Fig. 4, the character "VICTORY" is drawn large on the body 12, and the other parts, the front fin 15, the rear fin 16, the tail fin 14, and the dorsal fin 18, remain white. Note that characters or other patterns may be drawn on the front fin 15, the rear fin 16, the tail fin 14, and the dorsal fin 18. The characters are not limited to the character "VICTORY", and other characters may be used.

[0030] By drawing such a character "VICTORY" on the carp streamer 10, it can be adopted as goods for cram schools, preparatory schools and other examination institutions to support examinees, thus contributing to the promotion and advertisement of these examination institutions and the like. In addition, it can also be used as goods for supporters to hold up this carp streamer 10 to cheer at sports games and the like.

[0031] Fig. 5 shows an embodiment with a photo drawn. In Fig. 5, a large photo of a child is drawn on the body 12 and the dorsal fin 18. Here, the photo is drawn across the body 12 and the dorsal fin 18. Such a carp streamer 10 can be used for ordinary households, but by using other photos, it can contribute to the promotion and advertisement of companies and sports teams as support goods for companies and sports teams as described in other embodiments.

[0032] In each of the embodiments described above, the pattern may be drawn across one or more of the front fin 15, rear fin 16, tail fin 14, and dorsal fin 18. By doing so, an integrated design can be achieved.

[0033] Also, the size of the carp streamer 10 is not particularly limited. When it is hung at a game venue or event venue, it may be large, and when it is sold and distributed as a good, it may be small. Specifically, it can correspond to lengths of 80 cm, 1.5 m, 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, 5 m, and 6 m.

[0034] The method of printing the pattern as described above can be executed by inputting predetermined data into a large-scale printing machine for cloth.

[0035] Note that the carp streamer 10 described above is formed by sewing a cloth made of synthetic resin so that the whole becomes a cylindrical shape, and the mouth 19 has been described as being in a shape that is always open. However, as the carp streamer, it may be formed by a flat plate made of synthetic resin, wood, or metal having the outline of a carp. For example, acrylic can be adopted as the synthetic resin, and stainless steel can be adopted as the metal. Also, this flat-plate carp streamer may be cut out from a single flat plate material.

[0036] (Embodiment of a carp streamer kit) Hereinafter, an embodiment of a carp streamer kit in which a flat-plate carp streamer is made into a kit will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. The flat-plate carp streamer 30 is formed so that its outline is in the shape of a carp, and on the head part, an eyeball 32, a wavy line 33 corresponding to the gill, and a wavy line 34 corresponding to the whisker are drawn. Scales are not drawn on the body part, and in this embodiment, the part where the team logo is drawn is illustrated.

[0037] The flat-shaped carp streamer 30 of this embodiment is formed in a straight line from the head, abdomen to the tail fin, omitting the front fin and the rear fin. Therefore, during the manufacture of the carp streamer 30, processing becomes easy, and the front fin and the rear fin, which are fine parts, will not be damaged. Also, the dorsal fin portion of the flat-shaped carp streamer 30 is formed with a smooth curve.

[0038] The flat-shaped carp streamer 30 is formed by cutting out from a single flat plate material 40. As the flat plate material 40 of this embodiment, an acrylic plate with a thickness of about 3 mm is adopted, but the material of the flat plate material 40 is not limited to this, and synthetic resins other than acrylic, wood, metals such as stainless steel, etc. may be adopted as described above.

[0039] In this embodiment, from a single flat plate material 40, two carp streamers 30 of different sizes, a rod member 36 for attaching these carp streamers 30, and an auxiliary member 44 for supporting the rod member 36 are cut out. The flat plate material 40 is formed with insertion holes 42 for inserting the cut-out rod member 36. These insertion holes 42 are formed in a cross shape, and the rod member 36 and the auxiliary member 44 are combined into a cross shape and inserted into the insertion holes 42 for use. By inserting the rod member 36 into the cross-shaped insertion holes 42 in this way, the rod member 36 can be stably fixed without tilting with respect to the flat plate material 40.

[0040] Also, on the flat plate material 40, company logos, team names, etc. can be drawn on the remaining part after cutting out the above-mentioned respective members.

[0041] The rod member 36 has an upper end portion formed in a circular shape, and is modeled after the rotating ball provided at the upper end portion of the rod of a normal carp streamer. On the lower end side of the rod member 36, a wide portion 37 having a trapezoidal shape that gradually widens toward the lower end is formed. At the lowermost end of the wide portion 37, an insertion portion 39 that is narrower than the wide portion 37 and slightly narrower than the width of the insertion hole 42 is formed. The protruding length of the insertion portion 39 from the wide portion 37 is formed to be the same as the thickness of the flat plate member 40 or shorter than the thickness of the flat plate member 40. Therefore, when the insertion portion 39 is inserted into the insertion hole 42, the lower end surface of the wide portion 37 abuts against the surface of the flat plate member 40, and the rod member 36 can be stably stood on the flat plate member 40.

[0042] Also, the shape of the auxiliary member 44 is the same trapezoidal shape as that of the wide portion 37 of the rod member 36, and an insertion portion 45 that is narrower than the wide portion 37 at the lower end and slightly narrower than the width of the insertion hole 42 is formed. At the upper end portion of the auxiliary member 44, a groove 46 for inserting into the lower end portion of the rod member 36 is formed. The width of the groove 46 is formed to be slightly longer than the thickness of the flat plate member 40. Note that a similar groove 41 is also formed at the lower end portion of the rod member 36. By aligning these grooves 46 and 41, the auxiliary member 44 is attached to the rod member 36, and the rod member 36 and the auxiliary member 44 are configured in a cross shape.

[0043] Also, on the rod member 36, mounting holes 50 for mounting the streamer 30 are formed. In this embodiment, two mounting holes 50 are formed for mounting two streamers 30. Each mounting hole 50 has a rectangular shape.

[0044] At the mouth portion of the streamer 30, a mounting portion 52 for mounting in the mounting hole 50 is formed. The mounting portion 52 is formed in a hook shape extending downward, and the streamer 30 can be mounted on the rod member 36 by inserting the hook-shaped portion into the mounting hole 50 and hooking it.

[0045] By standing the rod member 36 in combination with the auxiliary member 44 on the remaining flat plate material 40 from which the two carp streamers 30, the rod member 36, and the auxiliary member 44 have been cut out, and attaching each carp streamer 30 to the rod member 36, the remaining part cut out from the single flat plate material 40 can be used as a base, so that the carp streamers 30 can be stably stood up and the cut-out part can be prevented from being wasted.

[0046] Note that the size of the flat plate material 40 in this embodiment is a rectangular shape of 13.5 cm × 18 cm, and the length of the rod member 36 is 16 cm. Due to such a compact size, the assembled carp streamer kit can be installed at any place such as a desk or a counter. However, the size of the carp streamer kit is not limited to the above-described size.

[0047] By distributing or selling the carp streamer kit as described above with each carp streamer 30, rod member 36, and auxiliary member 44 stored within a single flat plate, it does not take up space at the distribution or sales location, and it can also be easily carried by the person who receives it. And for the person who receives this carp streamer kit, by removing each component from the flat plate material and assembling it, the joy of assembly can also be given, and after assembly, the advertising and promotional effect can be enhanced by decorating it at a favorite place such as a desk or a counter.
