[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 5-66087 [Patent Document 2] Mito 3208650 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, conventional embroidery products are products in which a sheet member made of cloth or paper is embroidered, or are produced by attaching a sheet member with embroidery to a base member without embroidery, etc. However, with these conventional embroidery products, even if the technology for imparting a three-dimensional effect disclosed in Patent Document 2 is used, it is difficult to realize a rich three-dimensional expression that can be used as shadow art.

[0005] The present invention was created in consideration of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide an embroidery product, particularly a paper embroidery product, that allows for rich three-dimensional expression that cannot be achieved with conventional techniques. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The embroidery product (1A) of the present invention for solving the above problem includes a plurality of sheet members (first layer sheet member 10A to fourth layer sheet member 40A), at least two of the plurality of sheet members are each embroidered (first layer first embroidery 11A, second layer first embroidery 21A, etc.), and at least a portion of the plurality of sheet members are configured to overlap each other.

[0007] The embroidery product may also be configured to have a structure (spacer 50, unevenness, curved surface, etc.) that separates at least a portion of the pair of opposing sheet members (such as the first layer sheet member 10A and the second layer sheet member 20A).

[0008] Furthermore, in the embroidery product, the structure may be configured by a spacer (50) having a predetermined thickness that is inserted between a pair of opposing sheet members.

[0009] In addition, in the above embroidery product, the spacer may have an adhesive portion at each portion that abuts the pair of sheet members, and the pair of sheet members may be configured to be at least partially joined via the spacer, which is joined to each other through the adhesive portion.

[0010] Furthermore, in the embroidery product, at least a portion of the multiple sheet members may form a sheet group each having a common margin area, and the multiple sheet members forming the sheet group may be stacked so that the margin areas overlap.

[0011] In the embroidery product, the sheet members forming the sheet group may be joined to each other in the marginal areas.

[0012] For reference, the reference numerals in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention described below are used in parentheses to refer to the above-mentioned components. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the embroidery product of the present invention, a plurality of sheet members each having embroidery applied thereon are stacked, and preferably a pair of opposing sheet members are spaced apart, thereby forming an embroidery product having a three-dimensional form that protrudes not only in the plane in which the sheet members extend, but also in a direction perpendicular to this plane. This makes it possible to provide an embroidery product with a rich three-dimensional expression that can also be used as shadow art. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] In the following, a paper embroidery product is selected as the embroidery product according to the present invention, and a first and second preferred embodiments of the paper embroidery product are described with reference to Figures 1 to 18. Note that since each figure is a conceptual drawing, some shapes may be exaggerated, and the dimensions of each part may be shown at a scale different from the actual dimensions.

[0016] First Embodiment First, an embroidered product 1A according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 13. Here, front-rear, left-right, and up-down in the description are defined based on the embroidered product 1A shown in Fig. 1. Specifically, the direction of the long sides of the embroidered product 1A extending in a flat plate shape is defined as the front-rear direction, the direction of the short sides is defined as the left-right direction or lateral direction, and the directions perpendicular to the front-rear and left-right directions are defined as the up-down direction, height direction, or thickness direction.

[0017] <Composition of embroidery product 1A> The embroidery product 1A has a structure in which a plurality of sheet members are stacked. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the embroidery product 1A has a structure in which a first layer sheet member 10A, a second layer sheet member 20A, a third layer sheet member 30A, and a fourth layer sheet member 40A are stacked. Spacers 50 having a predetermined thickness H in the vertical direction are interposed between the first layer sheet member 10A and the second layer sheet member 20A, between the second layer sheet member 20A and the third layer sheet member 30A, and between the third layer sheet member 30A and the fourth layer sheet member 40A.

[0018] [First layer sheet member 10A] As shown in FIG. 3, the first layer sheet member 10A is composed of a flat first layer first sheet member 10A-1 extending in the front-rear and left-right directions. This first layer first sheet member 10A-1 is desirably made of paper having sufficient rigidity to maintain a flat state under normal conditions when no external force other than its own weight is applied. For example, it is desirably made of flat paper having a thickness of 0.5 mm. However, it is not essential that the first layer sheet member 10A has the above rigidity. For example, it may be configured to be able to stand up using other elements such as a stand, or it may be configured to ensure a predetermined rigidity, for example, a rigidity sufficient to stand on its own, by applying a deformation such as warping and / or folding the first layer sheet member 10A.

[0019] Here, the "sheet member" according to the present invention broadly includes thin members that form various shapes, and includes not only a thin member that spreads in a flat plate shape such as the first layer sheet member 10A shown in Fig. 3, but also a thin member that forms a shape with curved surfaces and / or unevenness, and a thin member that forms a cylindrical, pyramidal or frustum shape. Therefore, even if the initial shape is a thin member that spreads in a flat plate shape such as the first layer sheet member 10A, as described above, a thin member that has been distorted and / or folded to form a shape with curved surfaces and / or unevenness, or a cylindrical, pyramidal or frustum shape, is also included in the "sheet member" according to the present invention.

[0020] The first layer first sheet member 10A-1 has a plurality of through holes, and the first layer first embroidery 11A, the first layer second embroidery 12A, the first layer third embroidery 13A, the first layer fourth embroidery 14A, and the first layer fifth embroidery 15A having predetermined patterns are formed by the embroidery threads passing through these through holes. Specifically, the first layer first embroidery 11A has a pattern imitating a bouquet with a ribbon, the first layer second embroidery 12A and the first layer third embroidery 13A have patterns imitating flowers, the first layer fourth embroidery 14A has a pattern imitating a bow tie, and the first layer fifth embroidery 15A shows a curved line.

Also, in the first layer fourth embroidery 14A, a pair of triangular auxiliary sheet members γ2, γ2 are placed directly on the upper surface 10A-1P of the first layer first sheet member 10A-1 in a state of being arranged to face each other and are sewn directly to the first layer first sheet member 10A-1 with an embroidery thread passed through an open through hole.

[0022] Furthermore, on the upper surface 10A-1P of the first layer first sheet member 10A-1, a first layer first region α1-1, a first layer second region α1-2, a first layer third region α1-3, a first layer fourth region α1-4 and a first layer fifth region α1-5 which respectively represent the positions where the five sheet members constituting the second layer sheet member 20A, specifically, the second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer second sheet member 20A-2, the second layer third sheet member 20A-3, the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5 described later, will be placed are depicted, for example, as contour lines, and a position β where a spacer 50 is to be disposed is also depicted as a contour line. Two positions β are disposed inside each of the first layer first region α1-1, the first layer second region α1-2, and the first layer third region α1-3, and one position β is disposed inside each of the regions α1-4 and α1-5.

[0023] The position β at which the spacer 50 is disposed may be a position suitable for holding the second layer sheet member 20A in a stable state, or may be a position suitable for raising a portion of the second layer sheet member 20A to give it, for example, a slope or unevenness.

[0024] [Second layer sheet member 20A] As shown in FIG. 4, the second layer sheet member 20A is composed of a second layer first sheet member 20A-1, a second layer second sheet member 20A-2, a second layer third sheet member 20A-3, a second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and a second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5.

[0025] The second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer second sheet member 20A-2, the second layer third sheet member 20A-3, the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5 are all formed from paper having sufficient rigidity to maintain a flat state under normal conditions when no external force other than the weight of the sheet is applied, for example, flat paper having a thickness of 0.5 mm, similar to the first layer first sheet member 10A-1. Note that the "sheet members" constituting the second layer sheet member 20A do not necessarily have the above-mentioned rigidity, similar to the first layer sheet member 10A, and are not limited to thin members that spread out in a flat plate shape.

[0026] The second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer second sheet member 20A-2, the second layer third sheet member 20A-3, the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5 all have a plurality of through holes, and embroidery having a predetermined pattern is formed by embroidery thread passed through these through holes. Specifically, the second layer first embroidery 21A, the second layer second embroidery 22A, the second layer third embroidery 23A and the second layer fourth embroidery 24A, which represent curved lines, are formed on the second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer fifth embroidery 25A, which also represents a curved line, is formed on the second layer second sheet member 20A-2, the second layer sixth embroidery 26A and the second layer seventh embroidery 27A are formed on the second layer third sheet member 20A-3, the second layer eighth embroidery 28A is formed on the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and the second layer ninth embroidery 29A is formed on the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5.

[0027] In the second layer seventh embroidery 27A in this embodiment, a hexagonal auxiliary sheet member γ3 is placed directly on the upper surface of the second layer third sheet member 20A-3 and is sewn directly to the second layer third sheet member 20A-3 with embroidery thread passed through the opening through hole.

[0028] On the upper surface 20A-1P of the second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer first region α2-1, the second layer second region α2-2, and the second layer third region α2-3, which respectively represent the positions where the three sheet members constituting the third layer sheet member 30A, specifically the third layer first sheet member 30A-1, the third layer second sheet member 30A-2, and the third layer third sheet member 30A-3 described later, are placed, for example, as contour lines, and the position β where the spacer 50 is disposed is also drawn as a contour line. Two positions β are disposed inside the second layer first region α2-1 and the second layer second region α2-2, and one is disposed inside the second layer third region α2-3.

[0029] The position β at which the spacer 50 is disposed may be a position suitable for holding the third layer sheet member 30A in a stable state, similar to that of the first layer sheet member 10A, or may be a position suitable for raising a portion of the third layer sheet member 30A to give it, for example, a slope or unevenness.

[0030] [Third layer sheet member 30A] As shown in FIG. 5, the third layer sheet member 30A is composed of a third layer first sheet member 30A-1, a third layer second sheet member 30A-2, and a third layer third sheet member 30A-3.

[0031] The third layer first sheet member 30A-1, the third layer second sheet member 30A-2 and the third layer third sheet member 30A-3 are all formed from paper having sufficient rigidity to maintain a flat state under normal conditions when no external force other than their own weight is applied, for example, flat paper having a thickness of 0.5 mm, similar to the first layer first sheet member 10A-1. Note that the "sheet members" constituting these third layer sheet members 30A do not necessarily have the above-mentioned rigidity, similar to the first layer sheet member 10A, and are not limited to thin members that spread out in a flat plate shape.

[0032] The third layer first sheet member 30A-1, the third layer second sheet member 30A-2 and the third layer third sheet member 30A-3 each have a plurality of through holes, and embroidery having a predetermined pattern is formed by embroidery threads passing through these through holes. Specifically, the third layer first embroidery 31A, the third layer second embroidery 32A, the third layer third embroidery 33A, the third layer fourth embroidery 34A and the third layer fifth embroidery 35A, which represent curved lines, are formed on the third layer first sheet member 30A-1, the third layer sixth embroidery 36A, the third layer seventh embroidery 37A and the third layer eighth embroidery 38A, which also represent curved lines, are formed on the third layer second sheet member 30A-2, and the third layer ninth embroidery 39A is formed on the third layer third sheet member 30A-3.

[0033] The upper surface 30A-1P of the third layer first sheet member 30A-1 and the upper surface 30A-2P of the third layer second sheet member 30A-2 are The third layer first region α3-1 and the third layer second region α3-2, which respectively represent the positions where the two sheet members constituting the fourth layer sheet member 40A, specifically, the fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 and the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2 described later, are placed, are drawn, for example, as contour lines, and the position β where the spacer 50 is disposed is also drawn as a contour line. Two positions β are disposed inside the third layer first region α3-1, and one is disposed inside the third layer second region α3-2. The position β where the spacer 50 is disposed may be disposed at a position suitable for holding the fourth layer sheet member 40A in a stable state, similar to that of the first layer sheet member 10A and the second layer sheet member 20A, or may be disposed at a position suitable for raising a part of the fourth layer sheet member 40A to give it an inclination or unevenness.

[0034] [Fourth layer sheet member 40A] As shown in FIG. 6, the fourth layer sheet member 40A is composed of a fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 and a fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2.

[0035] The fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 and the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2 are both made of paper, for example, flat paper having a thickness of 0.5 mm, that has sufficient rigidity to maintain a flat state under normal conditions when no external force other than the weight of the first layer sheet member 10A is applied, similar to the first layer first sheet member 10A. Note that the "sheet members" that make up the fourth layer sheet member 40A do not necessarily have the above-mentioned rigidity, similar to the first layer sheet member 10A, and are not limited to thin members that spread out in a flat plate shape.

[0036] In addition, both the fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 and the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2 have a plurality of through holes, and embroidery having a predetermined design is formed by embroidery threads passing through these through holes. Specifically, the fourth layer first embroidery 41A and the fourth layer second embroidery 42A, which represent curved lines, are formed on the fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1, and the fourth layer third embroidery 43A, which also represents a curved line, is formed on the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2.

[0037] [Spacer 50] As described above, the spacers 50 are interposed between the first layer sheet member 10A and the second layer sheet member 20A, between the second layer sheet member 20A and the third layer sheet member 30A, and between the third layer sheet member 30A and the fourth layer sheet member 40A. The spacers 50 are formed, for example, as shown in Fig. 7, from an elastic material presenting a hexahedron having a height H, and have an adhesive surface Sd for bonding to the first layer sheet member 10A, the second layer sheet member 20A, or the third layer sheet member 30A on a lower surface 51 facing the first layer sheet member 10A, the second layer sheet member 20A, or the third layer sheet member 30A, and an adhesive surface Su for bonding to these members on an upper surface 52 facing the second layer sheet member 20A, the third layer sheet member 30A, or the fourth layer sheet member 40A. The adhesive surfaces Sd and Su are coated with, for example, an adhesive material, and the first layer sheet member 10A, the second layer sheet member 20A, the third layer sheet member 30A and the fourth layer sheet member 40A that adhere to the adhesive surfaces Sd or Su are joined to each other via spacers 50.

[0038] As described later, the presence of the spacers 50 results in a gap C equivalent to the height H being formed between the adjacent sheet members. In order to emphasize the three-dimensional effect, it is advisable to set the height H large while taking into consideration the bonding strength. The heights H of the spacers 50 may all be set to be the same, or may be set to be different. In the latter configuration, by appropriately disposing the spacers 50 of different heights at predetermined positions β, it becomes possible to impart undulations such as inclinations and curves to the stacked sheet members (the second layer sheet member 20A, the third layer sheet member 30A, and the fourth layer sheet member 40A), thereby enabling the creation of richer three-dimensional modeling expressions.

[0039] The form of the spacer 50 is not limited to the specific form shown in FIG. 7, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned separation structure. As an example, it may be a convex portion formed integrally with at least one of a pair of opposing sheet members. It may also be a curved surface, for example, a convex curved surface, formed by curving a part of at least one of a pair of opposing sheet members. Furthermore, the adhesive surface that is bonded to the sheet member may be disposed on a surface other than the upper surface and the lower surface, for example, at least a part of the four side surfaces of a spacer consisting of a hexahedron, or on any part of the curved surface of a spacer consisting of a curved surface. In this case, the multiple sheet members can be bonded to each other in various positions through the spacer 50, for example, a position where they are perpendicular to each other or a position where they are inclined.

[0040] The spacer 50 for achieving the spacing structure is an optional component and may be omitted. In this case, the multiple sheet members (first layer sheet member 10A, second layer sheet member 20A, third layer sheet member 30A, and fourth layer sheet member 40A) are stacked with a pair of opposing sheet members directly abutting against each other.

[0041] <Assembly of embroidery product 1A> The embroidery product 1A is assembled in the steps shown in Figures 8 to 12. This step will be described below.

[0042] First, eight spacers 50 are arranged at eight positions β drawn on the upper surface 10A-1P of the first layer first sheet member 10A-1 constituting the first layer sheet member 10A, as shown in Fig. 8. As described above, these eight positions β are arranged two on each of the inner sides of the regions α1-1, α1-2, and α1-3, and one on each of the inner sides of the regions α1-4 and α1-5. The eight spacers 50 arranged in each region β are pressed toward the upper surface 10A-1P, and are bonded to the first layer first sheet member 10A-1 via the adhesive surface Sd arranged on the lower surface 51.

[0043] Next, the second layer sheet member 20A is placed in a predetermined region on the upper surface of the first sheet member 10A. Specifically, the second layer first sheet member 20A-1 constituting the second layer sheet member 20A is placed on the region α1-1 drawn on the upper surface 10A-1P of the first layer first sheet member 10A-1 constituting the first sheet member 10A, and similarly, the second layer second sheet member 20A-2 is placed on the region α1-2 drawn on the upper surface 10A-1P, the second layer third sheet member 20A-3 is placed on the region α1-3, the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 is placed on the region α1-4, and the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5 is placed on the region α1-5. Thereafter, the second layer first sheet member 20A-1, the second layer second sheet member 20A-2, the second layer third sheet member 20A-3, the second layer fourth sheet member 20A-4 and the second layer fifth sheet member 20A-5 are pressed against the upper surfaces 52 of the eight spacers 50, respectively. As a result, each sheet member is bonded to the adhesive surface Su arranged on the upper surface 52 of the spacer 50. As a result, the first layer sheet member 10A and the second layer sheet member 20A are bonded together via the spacer 50 with a gap C equal to the height H of the spacer 50, as shown in FIG. 9, thereby forming the first and second layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A.

[0044] Next, the third layer sheet member 30A is placed in a predetermined area on the upper surface of the first and second layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, the third layer first sheet member 30A-1 constituting the third layer sheet member 30A is placed on the area α2-1 drawn on the upper surface 20A-1P of the second layer first sheet member 20A-1 constituting the first and second layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A, and similarly, the third layer second sheet member 30A-2 is placed on the area α2-2 drawn on the upper surface 20A-1P, and the third layer third sheet member 30A-3 is placed on the area α2-3. Thereafter, the third layer first sheet member 30A-1, the third layer second sheet member 30A-2, and the third layer third sheet member 30A-3 are pressed against the upper surface 52 of the spacer 50, respectively. Thereby, each sheet member is bonded to an adhesive surface Su disposed on an upper surface 52 of the spacer 50. As a result, the first-and-second-layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A and the third layer sheet member 30A are integrally bonded via the spacer 50 with a gap C equal to the height H of the spacer 50, as shown in Fig. 11, thereby forming the first-, second-, and third-layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A-30A.

[0045] Next, the fourth layer sheet member 40A is placed in a predetermined area on the upper surface of the first, second and third layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A-30A. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 constituting the fourth layer sheet member 40A is placed on the area α3-1 drawn on the upper surface 30A-1P of the third layer first sheet member 30A-1 constituting the first, second and third layer assembly sheet member 10A-20A-30A, and the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2 is placed on the area α3-2 drawn on the upper surface 30A-2P of the third layer second sheet member 30A-2. Then, the fourth layer first sheet member 40A-1 and the fourth layer second sheet member 40A-2 are pressed against the upper surface 52 of the spacer 50, respectively. As a result, each sheet member is bonded to the adhesive surface Su arranged on the upper surface 52 of the spacer 50. As a result, the first, second and third layer assembly sheet members 10A-20A-30A and the fourth layer sheet member 40A are joined together via the spacer 50 with a gap C equal to their height H, thereby forming the embroidered product 1A shown in Figure 1.

[0046] Second Embodiment Next, an embroidered product 1B according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 18. Here, the configurations common to the embroidered product 1A according to the first embodiment, for example, the configuration of the embroidery formed by the material of the sheet member and the embroidery thread, are common to the embroidered product 1A according to the first embodiment unless otherwise specified. In addition, front-rear, left-right, and up-down in the description are defined based on the embroidered product 1B shown in Fig. 13. Specifically, the long side direction of the embroidered product 1B extending in a flat plate shape is defined as the front-rear direction, the short side direction is defined as the left-right direction or lateral direction, and the directions perpendicular to the front-rear and left-right directions are defined as the up-down direction, height direction, or thickness direction.

[0047] The embroidered product 1B has a structure in which a plurality of sheet members are laminated, as shown in Fig. 13.
