[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 6-3176 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] According to the carp streamer disclosed in Patent Document 1, a gold lustrous layer is applied to the scales, which makes the carp streamer sparkle and shine brightly, resulting in a beautiful carp streamer with a shining gold body, which can be differentiated from other products and demonstrates its commercial value.

[0005] In the carp streamer disclosed in Patent Document 1, the gold lustrous layer is applied only to the scales, and not to the head of the carp design, so the area near the head appears relatively dark, making it difficult to clearly discern the outline of the carp's face or the shape of its eyes.

[0006] The object of this invention is to improve on conventional carp streamers by providing a gold shining layer not only on the scales but also near the head of the carp pattern on the main body of the carp streamer, making the facial contours and eye shapes of the pattern sparkle and shine in the same way as the scales, thereby making the entire main body of the carp streamer shine beautifully in gold. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a carp streamer having a cylindrical carp streamer body that forms an internal space connecting an opening at the head side and an opening at the tail side.

[0008] The carp streamer of the present invention is characterized in that the carp streamer body has an eye, a scaly body, a colored pattern, and a gold lustrous layer overlaid on the colored pattern, the eye has a portion made of the colored pattern and a portion made of the gold lustrous layer, and a semicircular head decorative element made of the gold lustrous layer is located behind the eye.

[0009] The carp streamer according to the present invention has the following preferred embodiments. (1) The head ornament element has a semicircular line portion and a radial portion extending rearward from the semicircular line portion. (2) The eyeball has an eyeball portion and first to third annular lines arranged radially around the eyeball portion, the eyeball portion having a pupil portion formed from the gold lustrous layer and a cornea portion surrounding it consisting of the colored pattern, the first annular line being formed from the colored pattern, and the second and third annular lines being formed from the gold lustrous layer. (3) The scale body has a scale line made of the gold lustrous layer and a fan-shaped scale portion located within the scale line, the scale portion being formed from the colored pattern, and a body decorative element formed from the gold lustrous layer and having the same fan shape as the scale portion is arranged in the scale portion that forms a scale row located in the center of the scale body in the vertical direction. Effect of the Invention

[0010] In the carp streamer of the present invention, the eye has a part consisting of a colored pattern and a part consisting of a gold lustrous layer, and a semicircular head decorative element consisting of a gold lustrous layer is located behind the eye, which makes the carp's facial contour and the shape of the eye sparkle and shine in the same way as the scales, making the entire carp streamer shine beautifully in gold.

[0012] The carp streamer 10 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The following embodiment includes not only essential features of the present invention, but also features that can be selectively adopted and features that can be appropriately combined. The right and left halves of the carp streamer 10 have substantially the same design. In the following description, the right half of the carp will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings, but it should be understood that the left half also has a similar shape.

[0013] As shown in Figure 1, the carp streamer 10 of the present invention comprises a cylindrical carp streamer body 20 that forms an internal space in the front-to-back direction Y and the up-down direction X, connecting an opening at the head end with an opening at the tail end, and a dorsal fin 21, a pectoral fin 22, and a pelvic fin 23 sewn to the carp streamer body 20.

[0014] The carp streamer body 20 is sewn with a main body fabric made of nylon fabric and / or polyester fabric, etc. The main body fabric has a fabric forming the right half of the carp streamer body 20 and a fabric forming the left half, and the carp streamer body 20 is formed by folding parts of the fabric along upper and lower folding lines (not shown) extending in the front-back direction Y, and sewing the folded parts together along sewing lines extending in the up-down direction X located above and below the carp streamer body.

[0015] The dorsal fin 21 is attached via a sewing line located above, in a state where it is interposed between the fabric forming the right half of the body and the fabric forming the left half of the body. The pectoral fins 22 and pelvic fins 23 are sewn to the main body fabric at required positions.

[0016] A plastic mouth ring (not shown) and an attachment string 25 for attaching the carp streamer body 20 to a stand are sewn to the mouth 24 of the carp streamer body 20.

[0017] To express the carp pattern on the main fabric, first, red, blue, black, green, and other colors are applied to the main fabric by gradation. At that time, the carp's eyes are left blank. Next, a gold paint pattern is transferred to form the gold shining layer G.

[0018] Therefore, the carp streamer body 20 includes a colored pattern C applied by gradation in red, blue, etc., a gold lustrous layer G transferred onto the pattern C, and uncolored parts of the main body fabric (original cloth) including the white parts of the eyes 30.

[0019] 2, the eye 30 of the carp streamer body 20 is generally white and has a number of radially extending circular lines 41-43. Specifically, the eye 30 has first to third circular lines 41-43 aligned in the radial direction with the eyeball portion 31 at the center. The eyeball portion 31 has a pupil portion 31a formed from a gold glittering layer G and a cornea portion 31b surrounded by a colored pattern C.

[0020] The first annular line 41 of the eye is formed from a colored pattern C, whereas the second and third annular lines 42, 43 are formed from a gold lustrous layer G. The third annular line 43 forms the outer contour of the eye 30.

[0021] In conventional carp streamers, the white part of the eyeball is only colored with a gradation, and the gold shining layer is not placed. Therefore, compared to the scale part where the gold shining layer is located, there is no light reflection, and it is not possible to give a sparkling impression. In this invention, the gold shining layer G is placed on the eyeball, so it can give a sparkling impression like the scale body, and is excellent in aesthetics.

[0022] In addition, in the eyeball portion 31 of the eyeball 30, the pupil portion 31a is made of a gold lustrous layer G, while the cornea portion 31b surrounding it is formed from a colored pattern C, and in the first to third annular lines 41 to 43 aligned radially from the eyeball portion 31, the first annular line 41 is made of a colored pattern, while the second and third annular lines 42, 43 are formed from the gold lustrous layer G. As a result, compared to a case in which the entire pattern of the eyeball 30 is formed from the gold lustrous layer G, the contrast is more pronounced and the lustrousness of the gold lustrous layer G is enhanced, giving the impression of a sparkling shine.

[0023] The head of the carp streamer body 20 has a semicircular head decorative element 50 located behind the eye 30 so as to surround it. The head decorative element 50 is formed from a gold lustrous layer G, and has a semicircular line portion 51 and radial portions 52 extending rearward from the semicircular line. With the gold lustrous layer G located on the eye 30 and the head decorative element 50, the head of the carp streamer can give the impression of a sparkling, shining figure for the entire head.

[0024] 3 and 4, the scaled body of the carp streamer body 20 has a scale line 61 made of a gold lustrous layer G, and a fan-shaped scale portion 62 located within the scale line 61. The scale portion is formed from a colored pattern C applied by gradation. A body decorative element 63 formed from the gold lustrous layer G and having the same approximate fan shape as the scale portion 62 is arranged in the scale portion 62 which forms a scale row located at the center of the up-down direction X of the scaled body.

[0025] The body decorative elements 63 have their tips pointing toward the head side, and are arranged and formed to be oriented toward the head side as a whole. The body decorative elements 63 formed of the gold lustrous layer G are arranged and formed to have a direction toward the head side only in the scale row located at the center of the up-down direction X of the scale body, so that the body decorative elements 63 stand out more than if they were arranged and formed in all the scale rows, and the carp streamer body 20 has a unified design as a whole.

[0026] [Table 1]

[0027] The above Table 1 shows the results of testing the carp streamer 10 according to the present invention in accordance with the general procedures for the "drop test," "torque test," "tensile test," and "compression test" described in the revised Toy Safety Standards ST-2016 (3rd edition) of the Japan Toy Association.

[0028] As shown in Table 1, in the drop test, the carp streamer 10 according to the present invention was not damaged when dropped from a height of 14 x 93 cm, and in the torque test, it was not damaged even when a load of 0.45 N·m was applied. In the tensile test, it was not damaged even when a strong force of 70 N was applied, and in the compression test, it was not damaged even when compressed with a force of 114 N.

[0029] From the above test results, it can be said that the carp streamer 10 of the present invention meets the safety requirements for a toy stipulated in the Revised Toy Safety Standard ST-2016 (3rd edition). [Explanation of symbols]
