[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-245955 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the case of a cloth exhibit such as a towel blanket, the viewer may wish to touch the cloth exhibit to confirm its texture. For example, if the material of the cloth exhibit is different between the front and back sides, the viewer may wish to touch both the front and back sides of the cloth exhibit simultaneously to confirm the difference in texture between the two sides.

[0005] In addition, when it comes to exhibits of cloth-like products that are expected to have both the front and back sides used depending on the season, exhibits that allow you to easily change the side you want to highlight depending on the season are useful.

[0006] The present disclosure provides a convenient technique for identifying the differences between multiple types of materials that make up a cloth-like exhibit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a cloth-like exhibit comprising a first surface portion including a first material portion made of a first type of material, and a second surface portion including a second material portion made of a second type of material, and including a first end portion having a folded structure that faces between portions of the first material portion, and a second end portion having a folded structure that faces between portions of the second material portion, wherein on the front surface, the first material portion and the second material portion of the first end are exposed side by side at different lengths in the width direction, and on the back surface, the first material portion of the second end and the second material portion are exposed side by side at different lengths in the width direction.

[0008] The folded structure of the first end portion may have an inner space surrounded by the first material portion, and an opening that connects the inner space to the outside.

[0009] The folded structure of the first end portion may have a folded portion formed by the end of a cloth-like member and a base portion formed by the cloth-like member and to which the folded portion is partially attached, and the folded portion may have a dimension of at least 10 cm in the width direction.

[0010] The cloth-like exhibit includes a fold extending in a direction perpendicular to the width direction between the first end and the second end, and the cloth-like exhibit is arranged so as to be foldable via the fold, and the fold structure of the first end has a first fold formed by one end of a cloth-like member and a first base formed by the cloth-like member and to which the first fold is partially attached, and the fold structure of the second end has a second fold formed by the other end of the cloth-like member and a second base formed by the cloth-like member and to which the second fold is partially attached, and the first fold may be at least 10 cm in the width direction and have a size that is less than half the distance between the outermost edge of the first end in the width direction and the fold, and the second fold may be at least 10 cm in the width direction and have a size that is less than half the distance between the outermost edge of the second end in the width direction and the fold.

[0011] Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for displaying the above-mentioned cloth-like exhibit, in which the cloth-like exhibit is displayed with at least a portion of its front surface exposed so that the first material portion and the second material portion at the first end are aligned at different lengths in the width direction, and the cloth-like exhibit can be turned inside out so that at least a portion of its back surface is exposed, and the first material portion at the second end and the second material portion are aligned at different lengths in the width direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present disclosure, it is convenient to check the differences between the multiple types of materials that make up a cloth-like exhibit. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 5] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a method for displaying a cloth-like exhibit. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

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

[0015] In the embodiment described below, a case where a cloth-like exhibit 10 made from a reversible towel blanket is exhibited will be described as an example. However, the following technology can also be appropriately applied to cases where any other cloth-like object (for example, a cloth-like object made from bedding such as a sheet) is exhibited as the cloth-like exhibit 10.

[0016] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a front surface 10a of a cloth-like exhibit 10. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a back surface 10b of the cloth-like exhibit 10 shown in Fig. 1.

[0017] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the state of the cloth-like exhibit 10 shown in Fig. 1 folded in half at the fold 27 as viewed from one side. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the state of the cloth-like exhibit 10 shown in Fig. 1 folded in half at the fold 27 as viewed from the other side.

[0018] The towel blanket cloth exhibit 10 shown in Figures 1 to 4 comprises a cloth member 15 having a rectangular planar shape and a fold-over portion 28 attached to the cloth member 15 along one side of the cloth member 15 (the top side shown in Figures 1 to 4).

[0019] The cloth-like member 15 comprises a first surface portion 11 and a second surface portion 12. The first surface portion 11 includes a first material portion 11b made of a first type of material and a first edging portion 11a that surrounds the first material portion 11b on all sides. The second surface portion 12 includes a second material portion 12b made of a second type of material and a second edging portion 12a that surrounds the second material portion 12b on all sides.

[0020] The first type material (first material portion 11b) and the second type material (second material portion 12b) are not limited and may be made of materials that are partially or entirely different from each other, may have different textures from each other, or may have different functions from each other. Each of the first type material and the second type material does not necessarily include only a single material, but may include multiple types of materials.

[0021] For example, at least one of the first type material and the second type material may include a cool-to-the-touch material, a quick-drying material, a highly hygroscopic (highly water-absorbent) material, and / or a moisture-absorbing and heat-generating material. For example, the first material part 11b made of the first type material may have a waffle texture that can provide a smooth feel, while the second material part 12b made of the second type material may have a cool-to-the-touch texture.

[0022] As mentioned above, the cloth-like exhibit 10 may be other than a towel blanket. For example, if the cloth-like exhibit 10 is made of a sheet, at least one of the first type material and the second type material may include a non-slip material. As an example, the first material part 11b made of the first type material may have a non-slip material, while the second material part 12b made of the second type material may have a cool-to-the-touch fabric.

[0023] The cloth-like exhibit 10 (particularly the portion excluding the fold-over portion 28) comprises a first end portion 21 (the right end portion in FIG. 1), a second end portion 22 (the left end portion in FIG. 1), and an intermediate portion 23 extending in the width direction Dw between the first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22. The first end portion 21, the second end portion 22, and the intermediate portion 23 are all made of cloth-like member 15. In particular, the first end portion 21 has a folded structure in which portions of the first material portion 11b face each other, and the second end portion 22 has a folded structure in which portions of the second material portion 12b face each other.

[0024] The folded structure of first end portion 21 has an outer surface that includes second material portion 12b exposed to the outside, an inner space surrounded by first material portion 11b (see reference numeral "21a" in FIG. 5 described below), and opening 21b that connects this inner space to the outside. That is, the folded structure of first end portion 21 has a folded portion (first folded portion) 31 formed by one end of cloth-like member 15, and a base portion (first base portion) 32 formed by the portion of cloth-like member 15 that faces folded portion 31 and to which folded portion 31 is partially attached. In particular, in this embodiment, folded portion 31 of first end portion 21 is not attached to base portion 32 within a range of at least 15 cm from one side (the lower side in FIGS. 1 to 4 ) of end edge direction Dh that is perpendicular to width direction Dw (see FIG. 5 described below).

[0025] The folded structure of second end 22 has a configuration similar to that of first end 21. That is, the folded structure of second end 22 has an outer surface that includes first material portion 11b exposed to the outside, an inner space surrounded by second material portion 12b, and opening 22b (see FIG. 2) that connects this inner space to the outside. The folded structure of second end 22 has a folded portion (second folded portion) 31 formed by the end of cloth-like member 15, and a base portion (second base portion) 32 formed by the portion of cloth-like member 15 that faces folded portion 31 and to which folded portion 31 is partially attached. In this embodiment, within a range of at least 15 cm from one side in end edge direction Dh (the lower side in FIGS. 1 to 4), folded portion 31 of second end 22 is not attached to base portion 32, and the portion of folded portion 31 that is not attached to base 32 can be turned up.

[0026] The length in the width direction Dw of each of the folded portion 31 of the first end 21 and the folded portion 31 of the second end 22 is not limited. However, from the viewpoint of ergonomics, given that the average width of a human hand is approximately 10 cm, it is preferable that each of the folded portion 31 of the first end 21 and the folded portion 31 of the second end 22 has a size of at least 10 cm in the width direction Dw. In this case, a viewer of the cloth-like exhibit 10 can easily insert their hand into the inner space formed by each of the folded portion 31 of the first end 21 and the folded portion 31 of the second end 22.

[0027] On the other hand, from the viewpoint of highlighting the exposed surfaces of the intermediate portion 23 adjacent to each of the first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22 to the viewer, it may not be desirable for the width direction Dw size of each of the first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22 to be larger than the width direction Dw size of the exposed surface of the intermediate portion 23. For example, when the cloth-like exhibit 10 is displayed folded in half as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the exposed surface of the intermediate portion 23 that can be viewed by a viewer at one time is half of the entire width direction Dw of the intermediate portion 23. Therefore, it is preferable that the folded portion 31 of the first end portion 21 has a size in the width direction Dw of 10 cm or more and a size not larger than half the distance between the outermost edge of the first end portion 21 in the width direction Dw (see the right edge in FIG. 3) and the folded portion 27. Similarly, it is preferable that the folded portion 31 of the second end portion 22 has a size in the width direction Dw of 10 cm or more and a size not larger than half the distance between the outermost edge of the second end portion 22 in the width direction Dw and the folded portion 27. Even when the cloth-like exhibit 10 is displayed in a folded state, the first end 21 and the second end 22 each have the widthwise size described above, so that the exposed surface of the middle portion 23 is properly presented to the viewer, while the viewer can easily insert their hand into the inner space formed by the folded portion 31. In particular, because the cloth-like exhibit 10 is folded in half, the first end 21 and the second end 22 are positioned very close to each other, so that the viewer can easily and properly compare the inner spaces of the first end 21 and the second end 22.

[0028] There are no limitations on the means for attaching the folded portion 31 at each of the first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22 to the base portion 32. Therefore, the folded portion 31 (e.g., a part of the edge portion extending in the end edge direction Dh) may be sewn to the base portion 32 by sewing, or may be attached to the base portion 32 via a removable fastener (e.g., a button or a zipper).

[0029] On the front surface 10a of the cloth-like exhibit 10 of this embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration, the first material portions 11b of the second end portion 22 and the middle portion 23 and the second material portion 12b of the first end portion 21 are exposed side by side at different lengths in the width direction Dw, as shown in Fig. 1. On the other hand, on the back surface 10b of the cloth-like exhibit 10, the first material portion 11b of the second end portion 22 and the second material portions 12b of the first end portion 21 and the middle portion 23 are exposed side by side at different lengths in the width direction Dw, as shown in Fig. 2.

[0030] The cloth-like exhibit 10 is foldable via a folding portion 27 that is located in the center of the width direction Dw (in this example, the center of the middle portion 23) and extends in a direction perpendicular to the width direction Dw. The folding portion 27 may be arranged so that it is not visible to a person handling the cloth-like exhibit 10 from the outside, but it is preferably arranged in a manner that is visible to a person handling the cloth-like exhibit 10, and may be sewn in a manner that is visually perceptible, for example. The middle portion 23 may be formed entirely from a single cloth body (cloth-like member 15), or may be formed by attaching multiple cloth bodies to each other. For example, the middle portion 23 may be formed by attaching two cloth bodies to each other at the folding portion 27 by sewing or the like.

[0031] The fold-fastening portions 28 are provided on both sides in the width direction Dw via the folding portions 27. When the cloth-like exhibit 10 is folded in half via the folding portions 27, the fold-fastening portion 28 on one side and the fold-fastening portion 28 on the other side come into contact with each other and are attached to each other in a detachable manner. The configuration of such a pair of fold-fastening portions 28 is not limited, and the attachment surface of each fold-fastening portion 28 may be partially or entirely provided with a zipper, hook-and-loop fastener, or button, for example.

[0032] In this example, the cloth-like exhibit 10 is folded in half via the folding portion 27 and the two fastening portions 28 are attached to each other, so that the cloth-like exhibit 10 is placed in the state shown in Fig. 3 (one side) and Fig. 4 (the other side). That is, in the folded state of the cloth-like exhibit 10, one end portion (the left end portion in Fig. 3) in the width direction Dw is constituted by the folding portion 27, and the other end portion (the right end portion in Fig. 3) is constituted by the first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22. The first end portion 21 and the second end portion 22 are wholly or partially overlapping each other.

[0033] By folding the cloth-like exhibit 10 in half, even a long and large cloth-like exhibit 10 can be placed in a compact state. In particular, as shown in Fig. 3, on one side of the cloth-like exhibit 10, the first surface 11 including the first material portion 11b and the second surface 12 including the second material portion 12b can be simultaneously exposed.

[0034] The cloth-like exhibit 10 can be folded in any desired shape, for example, folded in three.

[0035] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a method for displaying the cloth-like exhibit 10. As shown in FIG.

[0036] 1 to 4, it is possible to exhibit the cloth-like exhibit 10 with at least a portion of the surface 10a (see FIG. 1) exposed, so that the first material portion 11b and the second material portion 12b of the first end portion 21 are aligned at different lengths in the width direction Dw. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the cloth-like exhibit 10 folded in half is exhibited while being supported by the exhibit equipment 50 so that the surface including both the first surface portion 11 and the second surface portion 12 (see FIG. 3) is exposed.

[0037] The exhibition equipment 50 can support the cloth-like exhibit 10 in any position, and for example, the upper end of the cloth-like exhibit 10 (e.g., the fold-over portion 28) may be supported locally to display the cloth-like exhibit 10 in a hanging state. Alternatively, the cloth-like exhibit 10 may be displayed in a state where the entire cloth-like exhibit 10 is in contact with (placed on) and supported by the horizontal, inclined, or vertical surface of the exhibition equipment 50.

[0038] 5, the observer 90 can simultaneously visually and tactilely recognize the first material portion 11b of the first surface portion 11 and the second material portion 12b of the second surface portion 12. This allows the observer 90 to conveniently confirm the differences between the multiple types of materials (first type material (first material portion 11b) and second type material (second material portion 12b)) that make up the cloth-like exhibit 10.

[0039] In particular, the viewer 90 can insert his or her hand or arm through the opening 21b in the folded structure into the inner space 21a formed by the folded structure of the first end 21 of the cloth-like exhibit 10. This allows the viewer 90 to more reliably perceive the characteristics of the first material part 11b surrounding the inner space 21a.

[0040] In particular, one side portion (the lower portion in FIG. 5) of the folded portion 31 of the first end portion 21 in the end edge direction Dh is not attached to the base portion 32 and can be turned over as needed by the observer 90. This allows the observer 90 to easily insert and remove their hand from the inner space 21a, making it easier to imagine what it would feel like to actually use the towel blanket that is the subject of the cloth-like exhibit 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, as described above, the folded portion 31 is not attached to the base 32 within a range of at least 15 cm from one side in the end edge direction Dh. This is determined as one criterion to facilitate insertion of the hand into the internal space 21a, taking into consideration that the size of an adult's hand (the size from the wrist to the fingertips) is generally 15 cm or more. Note that, from the viewpoint of facilitating insertion of the "wrist" or "arm (e.g., forearm)" in addition to the "hand" into the internal space 21a, the range within which the folded portion 31 is not attached to the base 32 may be greater than 15 cm. In other words, the folded portion 31 may not be attached to the base 32 within a range of at least 20 cm or at least 25 cm from one side in the end edge direction Dh, for example.

[0042] In addition, the cloth-like exhibit 10 shown in Figures 1 to 4 above can also be displayed inside out so that at least a portion of the back surface 10b is exposed, and the first material portion 11b of the second end portion 22 and the second material portion 12b of the middle portion 23 are lined up at different lengths in the width direction Dw.

[0043] It should be noted that the cloth-like exhibit 10 does not necessarily have to be displayed in a folded state as shown in Fig. 5. The cloth-like exhibit 10 may also be displayed in a state supported by the exhibit equipment 50 so that the entire front surface 10a (see Fig. 1) or the entire back surface 10b (see Fig. 2) is exposed, without being folded. Even in such a case, the viewer 90 can simultaneously visually and tactilely recognize the first material portion 11b of the first surface portion 11 and the second material portion 12b of the second surface portion 12.

[0044] It should be noted that the embodiments and modifications disclosed in this specification are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be construed as limiting. The above-described embodiments and modifications may be omitted, substituted, or modified in various ways without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims. For example, the above-described embodiments and modifications may be combined in whole or in part, or embodiments other than those described above may be combined with the above-described embodiments or modifications. Furthermore, the effects of the present disclosure described in this specification are merely illustrative, and other effects may be obtained.

[0045] Furthermore, there are no limitations on the technical categories that embody the above-mentioned technical ideas. [Explanation of symbols]
