Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, although the one described in Patent Document 1 arranges a pattern of a fine yarn structure, it cannot stand out from the conventional patterns and lacks freshness that has never been seen before.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and realize a novel fabric that has never been seen before.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fabric having a pattern in which a plurality of geometric shapes of the same shape are repeated, wherein a plurality of regions having the same shape in which the weaving method is dark and sparse are repeated together with the geometric shapes in a part of the pattern.

[0008] With this configuration, by making use of the geometric features, when the background of the sparse area is bright, it becomes light in color, and when the background is dark, it becomes dark in color, thus realizing a novel fabric that creates an unprecedented effect of changing the appearance of the pattern.

[0009] A fabric, wherein the geometric figure is a substantially circular combined figure composed of two substantially circular shapes in which the contour of one substantially circular shape is arranged at the approximate center of the other substantially circular shape, and the substantially circular combined figure is repeated a plurality of times, and a part of the substantially circular combined figure overlaps with each other. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the closed area surrounded by the contour portion of one substantially circular combined figure and the contour portion of the other substantially circular combined figure is woven densely in an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors, and the open area not surrounded by the contour portion is woven sparsely in a dark color.

[0010] With this configuration, by making use of the geometric features, when the background of the sparse area is bright, it becomes light in color, and when the background is dark, it becomes dark in color, thus realizing a novel fabric that creates an unprecedented effect of changing the appearance of the pattern.

[0011] It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which in the closed area that becomes dense, it is plain weave, twill weave, or brocade weave, and in the open area that becomes sparse, it is twined weave.

[0012] With this configuration, by making use of the geometric features with a general weaving method rather than a special weaving method, it is possible to realize a novel fabric that creates an unprecedented effect of changing the appearance of the pattern depending on whether the background is bright or dark.

[0013] In addition, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fabric characterized in that by combining plain weave, twill weave, or brocade weave in an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors and twined weave in a dark color, a brocade pattern appears when the background is bright, and a flower pattern appears when the background is dark.

[0014] With this configuration, a novel fabric that has never existed before can be realized.

Advantages of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel and fresh fabric that has never existed before.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] The present invention repeats a plurality of regions of the same shape with a weaving method that is dark and sparse in part of the pattern together with geometric figures, making use of geometric features to create a novel effect that the appearance of the pattern changes depending on whether the background is bright or dark, and realizes a fresh fabric.

Examples

[0018] Example 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1-4. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the geometric figure in Example 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is the first diagram for explaining the order of patterns formed from the geometric figure in Example 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is the second diagram for explaining the order of patterns formed from the geometric figure in Example 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining that the pattern in Example 1 of the present invention changes depending on the background color.

[0019] In Example 1, the geometric figure 10(10a) is formed by combining two substantially circular shapes as shown in Fig. 1(a). That is, it is a substantially circular combined figure composed of two substantially circular shapes in which the contour 13 of the other substantially circular shape is arranged at the approximate center 12 of one substantially circular shape having the contour 11. Further, the contour 11 is arranged at the approximate center 14 of the other substantially circular shape. The substantially circular shape may be circular or elliptical, and a substantially circular shape is sufficient. Also, the approximate centers 12 and 14 where the contours of the other substantially circular shapes are arranged may be the center or a position slightly deviated from the center, as long as it is an approximate center.

[0020] Fig. 1(b) shows a pattern in which a part of the geometric figure 10b and a part of the geometric figure 10c are superimposed on the left and right of the geometric figure 10a. Here, the closed regions 20c and 20d surrounded by the contour of the geometric figure 10a and the contour of the geometric figure 10b are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors. Similarly, the closed regions 20a and 20b surrounded by the contour of the geometric figure 10a and the contour of the geometric figure 10c are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors. Here, the intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors refers to a colored color such as gray, green, blue, or red that is neither white nor black.

[0021] Fig. 2(a) shows the geometric figures 10a, 10b, and 10c shown in Fig. 1(b) with a part of the geometric figures 10d and 10e superimposed. And the closed regions 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h, 20i, 20j, 20k, 20l, 20m, and 20n surrounded by the contours of the geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c and the contours of the geometric figures 10d, 10e are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors.

[0022] Further, the figure shown in Fig. 2(b) is a figure in which a part of geometric figures 10f and 10g is superimposed on geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, and 10e. And the closed regions 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f, 20g, 〈0000100〉 20h, 20i, 20j, 20k, 20l, 20m, 20n, 20o, 20p, 20q, 20r, 20s, 20t surrounded by the contours of geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e and the contours of geometric figures 10f, 10g are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors.

[0023] Furthermore, the figure shown in Fig. 3(a) is a figure in which a part of geometric figures 10h and 10i is superimposed on geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, and 10g. And as described above, the closed regions surrounded by the contours of geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g and the contours of geometric figures 10h, 10i are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors.

[0024] The figure shown in Fig. 3(b) is a figure in which a part of geometric figures 10j and 10k is superimposed on geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h, and 10i. And similarly, the closed regions surrounded by the contours of geometric figures 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h, 10i and the contours of geometric figures 10j, 10k are woven in a dense manner with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors.

[0025] Here, the dense weaving method can be plain weave, twill weave, or brocade weave. Also, the open region 30 (see Fig. 4) not surrounded by the contour of the geometric figure other than the above-described closed region is woven in a sparse manner with a dark color. The sparse weaving method may be twill weave. Also, the dark color is black or a dark blue close to black.

[0026] That is, in Example 1, the geometric figure is a substantially circular combined figure composed of two substantially circular shapes in which the contour of one substantially circular shape is arranged at the approximate center of the other substantially circular shape. The substantially circular combined figure is repeated a plurality of times, and a part of the substantially circular combined figure overlaps with each other. The closed region surrounded by the contour portion of the one substantially circular combined figure and the contour portion of the other substantially circular combined figure is woven densely with an intermediate color that is an intermediate color between light and dark colors, and the open region not surrounded by the contour portion is woven sparsely with a dark color.

[0027] The figure shown in Fig. 4(a) shows how it looks when the background of the substantially circular combined figure in Example 1 is a light color (such as white). In the open region woven sparsely, the white background color can be seen through, and a plurality of flower patterns can be observed. Also, the figure shown in Fig. 4(b) shows how it looks when the background of the substantially circular combined figure in Example 1 is a dark color (such as black). In the open region woven sparsely, the black background color can be seen through, and a plurality of seven treasures can be observed. That is, it has a novel effect that the appearance of the pattern changes depending on whether the background is light or dark.

[0028] Thus, in Example 1 of the present invention, it is a fabric having a pattern in which a plurality of substantially circular geometric figures of the same shape are repeated, and by repeating a plurality of regions where the weaving method is sparse with a dark color together with the geometric figures in a part of the pattern, by making use of the geometric features, it is possible to realize a novel fabric that creates an unprecedented effect that the flower pattern when the background is bright and the seven treasures when the background is dark, and the appearance of the pattern changes.

Example

[0029] In Example 2 of the present invention, a plurality of geometric figures and patterns are different from those in Example 1. Example 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the geometric figure and pattern in Example 2 of the present invention, and some are actual images of the fabric.

[0030] In Fig. 5, the geometric figures 110a, 110b, 110c, 110d, etc. are approximately Y-shaped, and these geometric figures are densely woven in an intermediate color and repeated multiple times. Also, the closed regions surrounded by the approximately Y-shaped geometric figures are woven in a sparse manner with a dark color. The dense weaving method in Example 2 can be plain weaving, twill weaving, or brocade weaving.

[0031] In addition, the closed regions 120a, 120b surrounded by the contours of the geometric figures in the above-described closed regions are woven in a sparse manner with a dark color. The sparse weaving method may be twill weaving. Also, the dark color is black or a dark blue close to black.

[0032] In Example 2, when the background is light, the approximately Y-shaped figure can be clearly read, and when the background is dark, the region with the sparse weaving method appears black, so it has a novel and fresh effect of looking like an inverted L-shape.

[0033] In this way, also in Example 2, it is a fabric having a pattern in which a plurality of geometric figures of substantially circular shape of the same shape are repeated, and by repeating a plurality of regions where the weaving method is sparse with a dark color together with the geometric figures in a part of the pattern, it is possible to realize a novel fabric that creates an unprecedented effect that the appearance of the pattern changes depending on whether the background is bright or dark by making use of geometric features.

[0034] The fabric in the present invention can be widely used in the fields of fabrics for kimonos and Western-style clothes.
