AI Technical Summary
Conventional woven rattan products with curved shapes requiring both ends to be unconnected are time-consuming and costly to produce due to the need for fixation to shape-retaining members.
A woven rattan product incorporating a wire frame with a corrugated section and core rattan woven into it, allowing folding and weaving at predetermined locations, including both ends, using techniques like chase knitting.
Reduces production time and costs by enabling quick and easy weaving without the need for post-fixation, maintaining flexibility and shape retention.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to woven rattan products. [Background technology]
[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, various woven rattan products are known which are produced by weaving a core rattan (for example, Non-Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Asakura Asuka, "Rattanwork Living Accessories and Nostalgic Rattan Weaving" Bunka Gakuen Publishing Bureau, 2019 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, conventional woven rattan products are made by weaving a core rattan in both directions, and in order to maintain the curved shape, it must be woven into a tubular shape. Therefore, in order to produce a woven rattan product with a curved shape where both ends are not connected, such as a headband, the woven rattan product must be fixed to a shape-retaining member such as a curved spring plate while being bent, which makes production more time-consuming and costly.
[0005] To provide a woven rattan product that can reduce production time and costs even when the woven rattan product has a curved shape with both ends not connected. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] To achieve the above objective, the woven rattan product of the present invention comprises a wire frame having a corrugated wire section in which the wire is bent in a corrugated shape, and a core rattan woven into the wire of the corrugated wire section.
[0007] The core rattan can be folded back at predetermined locations of the corrugated wire section and woven.
[0008] The core rattan may be folded back and woven at both ends of the corrugated wire section.
[0009] The core rattan can be woven by a chasing stitch.
[0010] The core rattan may be woven by twisted weaving.
[0011] The woven rattan product may be a headband.
[0012] The woven rattan product may be a bangle. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] According to this invention, by weaving a core rattan into the corrugated wire section in which the wire is bent into a corrugated shape, it is possible to shorten the production time and reduce costs even for woven rattan products that have a curved shape with both ends not connected. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0014] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a headband, which is one embodiment of a rattan woven product according to the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a wire frame, which is a component of the woven rattan product of FIG. 1. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the rattan woven product according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] A woven rattan product according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a woven rattan product according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of a wire frame, which is a component of the woven rattan product shown in Figure 1.
[0016] The illustrated example of the woven rattan product 1 is a headband. The woven rattan product 1 has a wire frame 2 made of metal wire and a core rattan 3 woven into the wire frame 2.
[0017] Referring to FIG. 2, the wire frame 2 has a generally C-shaped overall shape, a generally circular curved shape with both ends not connected, and the distance between the ends can be widened against the elasticity of the wire frame 2. The wire frame 2 has a wavy wire portion 2a formed by bending a wire into a wavy shape. In this specification, a wavy shape means a shape in which multiple waves are connected. The wire frame 2 can be formed from a single metal wire having a diameter of 1 to 2 mm, for example. Because the wire frame 2 can be formed from a single metal wire, it is low cost.
[0018] In the illustrated example, the wavy wire portion 2a of the wire frame 2 is bent in a sine wave shape, but it can also be bent in a rectangular wave shape or other wave shapes. The length L of the wavy wire portion 2a, the dimensions of the wavy shape of the wavy wire portion 2a (corresponding to the wave height H of the wavy waves, wavelength W1), the wave number (19 in the illustrated example), and the shape can be set as appropriate. For example, as shown in the rattan woven product 1A in Figure 3, the wavy wire portion 2a can be bent in a mountain shape at the middle part in the width direction.
[0019] The core rattan 3 is woven so as to intersect with the wire of the corrugated wire section 2a. In the illustrated example, the core rattan 3 is woven into the wire of the corrugated wire section 2a using a chase knitting technique, and is folded back and woven at both ends 2a1 and 2a2 of the corrugated wire section 2a. By folding back and weaving the core rattan 3 at both ends 2a1 and 2a2 of the corrugated wire section 2a, a strip-shaped core rattan section 4 of a predetermined width W2 is formed, in which multiple core rattans 3 are closely arranged side by side. It is preferable that the width (H) of the corrugated wire section 2a and the predetermined width W2 of the strip-shaped core rattan section 4 are constant. The core material 3 may also be woven into the wire of the corrugated wire section 2a using a twist knitting technique. Note that the core rattan 3 may also be folded back and woven at a predetermined location other than both ends 2a1 and 2a2 of the corrugated wire section 2a, for example, at a predetermined intermediate location in the length direction of the corrugated wire section 2a.
[0020] The strip-shaped core rattan portion 4 can be formed by weaving a single core rattan 3, or by weaving multiple core rattan pieces together, or by weaving multiple pieces in parallel (in the example shown in Figure 1, multiple core rattan pieces are woven together).
[0021] By using the corrugated wire portion 2a of the wire frame 2 as a core material and weaving the core rattan 3 into it, there is no need to fix the wire frame 2 afterward. In addition, when weaving the core rattan 3 into the corrugated wire portion 2a, the core rattan 3 can be swung in the width direction and left and right directions LR of the corrugated wire portion 2a, so weaving can be done quickly and easily, and the production time for the woven rattan product 1 can be significantly reduced.
[0022] The wire frame 2 can be curved overall beforehand and then the rattan core 3 is woven in, or the overall shape can be curved into a predetermined shape after the rattan core 3 is woven in. Because the wire frame 2 has flexural elasticity, a woven rattan product in which the core rattan is woven integrally into the wire frame 2 also has flexural elasticity. A pair of clamping sections 2b1, 2b2 can be provided at both ends of the wire frame 2, extending from both ends 2a1, 2a2 of the corrugated wire section 2a and elastically pressing against the intended wearing area (the temples of the wearer in the case of the headband in the illustrated example) to clamp the intended wearing area and hold the woven rattan product 1.
[0023] In the above embodiment, a headband was used as an example of a woven rattan product, but the woven rattan product of this invention is not limited to headbands and can be applied to a variety of woven rattan products such as bangles worn on the arm, accessories worn around the ankle or neck, or bag handles.
