Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to an ornament for a decorated Kagami mochi that is placed on the top of the decorated Kagami mochi. [Background technology]

[0002] Decorative Kagami mochi are used as New Year decorations or for display on Shinto altars, and are made by filling a Kagami mochi-shaped container with mochi or storing individually wrapped packages of mochi.

[0003] Conventionally, some decorative kagami mochi ornaments have a plastic orange ornament or character attached to the top of the kagami mochi with double-sided tape. Such conventional plastic kagami mochi ornaments are not biodegradable, so if they are released into the environment, they will remain semi-permanently, causing a large environmental load. In addition, the decorative kagami mochi is stored in a box with the plastic decorative kagami mochi ornament attached to the top at a factory or the like, and is transported from the factory or the like to a store or the like in this boxed state. In this regard, conventional plastic decorative kagami mochi ornaments cannot be folded, so the box in which the decorative kagami mochi with the ornament attached to the top is stored must also be large. Therefore, there is a concern that conventional plastic decorative kagami mochi ornaments have low transportation efficiency.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for paper Kagami mochi decorations. The decorative Kagami mochi ornament in Patent Document 1 has a folded edge in the center of the bottom plate to maintain the box shape, and is configured so that the box shape is maintained by pushing the bottom plate inward and bending the bottom plate upward and inward in a U-shape via the folded edge.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-41105 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, a folding edge for holding the ornament in a box shape is formed on the bottom plate of the ornament. When folding the ornament, the bottom plate is folded in half via the folding edge for holding the ornament in a box shape. For this reason, the ornament cannot be folded in the installed state, and it is necessary to lift the ornament when folding the ornament. Therefore, there is a demand for a decorative Kagami mochi ornament that can be stored compactly in the installed state.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention was devised in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an ornament for a decorative kagami mochi that can reduce the environmental burden and can be stored compactly even when placed on top of the decorative kagami mochi. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The decorative kagami mochi ornament of the present invention is an ornament for decorative kagami mochi that is placed on the top of a decorative kagami mochi, and comprises a paper main body, which has a bottom plate, a front plate formed by folding upward from the front side of the bottom plate, and a back plate formed by folding upward from the back side of the bottom plate, the upper end of the front plate being connected to the upper end of the back plate, the back plate having a fold extending horizontally, and the main body being configured to be foldable via the fold. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the back panel has a fold extending horizontally, and the main body is configured to be foldable via the fold. Because it can be folded via the fold of the back panel, it can be stored compactly even when placed on top of the decorated Kagami mochi. In addition, it is possible to stack more decorated Kagami mochi on top of the folded decorated Kagami mochi ornament attached to the top. Therefore, the box in which multiple decorated Kagami mochi are stacked and stored can be made smaller, improving transportation efficiency.

[0010] According to the present invention, since the main body is made of paper, it reduces the environmental impact compared to conventional decorative items made of plastic. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, the decorative kagami mochi ornament according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1, 2(a) and 2(b), the decorative tool 1 for decorated Kagami mochi is attached to the top of the decorated Kagami mochi 8. The decorated Kagami mochi 8 is a container in the shape of a Kagami mochi, with a space formed inside. The space inside the decorated Kagami mochi 8 can hold filled mochi, individually wrapped mochi, etc.

[0014] The decorative kagami mochi ornament 1 comprises a paper body 2. The body 2 is formed by folding a single sheet of paper. The body 2 has a bottom plate 21, a front plate 22 formed by folding upward from the front side of the bottom plate 21, and a back plate 23 formed by folding upward from the back side of the bottom plate 21. The upper end of the front plate 22 is connected to the upper end of the back plate 23.

[0015] 3(a), the bottom plate portion 21 is formed by overlapping and bonding a first portion 21a connected to the front plate portion 22 and a second portion 21b connected to the back plate portion 23. The first portion 21a and the second portion 21b are bonded together using, for example, glue or double-sided tape. An attachment portion (not shown) such as double-sided tape for attaching to the top of the decorated kagami mochi 8 is provided on the underside of the bottom plate portion 21.

[0016] 2(a) and 2(b), a pattern, for example, orange, is applied to the front plate portion 22 and the back plate portion 23. The patterns applied to the front plate portion 22 and the back plate portion 23 may be letters, figures, symbols, etc.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 3(a), the outer shape of front plate portion 22 and the outer shape of rear plate portion are symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane V that passes through the upper end of front plate portion 22 and the upper end of rear plate portion .

[0018] As shown in Fig. 3(b), the back panel 23 has a fold 24 extending horizontally. The main body 2 is configured to be foldable via the fold 24. The fold 24 is configured to allow the outer surface side of the back panel 23 to be folded in a valley direction. Note that in the present invention, the fold 24 may be configured to allow the outer surface side of the back panel 23 to be folded in a mountain direction.

[0019] According to this embodiment, the back panel 23 has a fold 24 extending horizontally, and the main body 2 is configured to be foldable via the fold 24. Because it can be folded via the fold 24 of the back panel 23, it can be stored compactly even when attached to the top of the decorative kagami mochi 8. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to stack further decorative kagami mochi 8 on top of the decorative kagami mochi 8 with the folded decorative kagami mochi ornament 1 attached to the top. Therefore, the box 9 for storing multiple stacked decorative kagami mochi 8 can also be made smaller, improving transportation efficiency.

[0020] According to this embodiment, the outer shape of the front plate portion 22 and the outer shape of the back plate portion 23 are symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane V passing through the upper end of the front plate portion 22 and the upper end of the back plate portion 23. This allows the decorative kagami mochi ornament 1 to be viewed not only from the front side but also from the back side.

[0021] According to this embodiment, the bottom plate portion 21 is formed by overlapping and bonding a first portion 21a continuing to the front plate portion 22 and a second portion 21b continuing to the back plate portion 23. Since the bonding portion of the first portion 21a and the second portion 21b is formed on the bottom plate portion 21, the patterns on the front plate portion 22 and the back plate portion 23 can be easily visually recognized.

[0022] According to this embodiment, an attachment portion for attaching the decorated kagami mochi 8 to the top is provided on the underside of the bottom plate portion 21. This makes it possible to prevent the decorated kagami mochi 8 from falling off from the top.

[0023] According to this embodiment, since the main body 2 is made of paper, the environmental impact can be reduced compared to conventional decorative items made of plastic.

[0024] The above describes in detail examples of the embodiments of the present invention. However, the above-mentioned embodiments are merely illustrative of concrete examples of implementing the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted in a limited manner based on these.
