Description

Technical Field

[0006] , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a tub used for tub dyeing.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as one of the dyeing techniques for fabrics such as kimonos and obis, there is tub dyeing (also called tub squeezing). This tub dyeing uses a cypress tub. The fabric to be dyed is taken out of the tub, and the fabric of the non-dyed part is stuffed into the tub. The inside of the tub is sealed with a lid so that the dye solution does not enter, and the whole tub is immersed in a high-temperature dye solution to dye the fabric.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] In this tub dyeing, when stuffing the fabric into the tub, at the boundary between the dyed part taken out of the tub and the non-dyed part, the place where the thread is tightened is beaten and fixed with a large number of needles on the tub edge. However, in the conventional tub, due to the repeated performance of the above operation, the tub edge where the needles are beaten is damaged, and it becomes difficult to beat the needles.

[0004] Therefore, conventionally, the damaged tub edge was shaved off to expose a new xylem, and the tub was used while being repaired to a state where new needles could be beaten. However, this repair work is complicated, and by repeating this repair work, the tub width (the height of the tub) gradually decreases, resulting in a decrease in the capacity of the tub and a capacity that cannot accommodate the fabric. Eventually, the tub itself had to be remade.

[0005] However, in recent years, the number of craftsmen who perform the above complicated repair work and remake the tub has decreased, and it has become difficult to repair the tub and replace it with a new one.

[0006] This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a highly practical tub for tub dyeing that can easily repair the rim of a tub damaged by needle impact, eliminate the need to remake the tub, and allow for long-term use.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention considered to be suitable will be briefly described based on the drawings while showing the operation of the present invention.

[0022] In the present invention, the fabric 30 of the non-dyeing part is stored in the trunk part 1, the fabric 30 of the dyeing part is taken out to the outside from the opening 1a formed in the trunk part 1, the needle 40 is struck against the needle punching part 4, and the fabric 30 is fixed to this needle punching part 4. The opening 1a is closed with the lid part 2, and further, the lid part 2 is tightened and fixed by the lid fixing tool 3, so that the fabric 30 stored in the trunk part 1 can be resist-dyed, and only the fabric 30 taken out to the outside can be dyed. Note that the needle 40 includes not only what is called a needle but also those having a thin and sharp tip and not significantly damaging the fabric 30 by driving in, similar to a needle (for example, a thin nail-shaped one).

[0023] And, in the present invention, since the needle punching part 4 is configured separately from the trunk part 1 and is detachably and replaceably provided on the trunk part 1, when the needle punching part 4 is damaged by driving in the needle 40, it can be easily repaired by replacing this needle punching part 4.

[0024] In other words, the present invention makes the needle-piercing section 4, which is damaged by the impact of the needle 40 and requires repair, a replaceable part, thereby eliminating the need for the complicated repair work of scraping off the damaged portion to expose the new wood, and also eliminating the need to remake the barrel due to the scraping off of the barrel rim that was carried out in conventional repair work.

[0025] Thus, the present invention makes it possible to easily repair the needle-pierced portion 4 damaged by the impact of the needle 40, and furthermore, eliminates the need to remake the tub, resulting in a highly practical tub for tub dyeing that can be used for a long period of time. [Examples]

[0026] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] This embodiment is a vat used for vat dyeing, a dyeing technique, and as shown in Figure 1, it consists of a body 1, a lid 2 that is detachably attached to the body 1, and a lid fixing device 3 for fixing the lid 2.

[0028] The components of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0029] The body 1 is made of metal and is configured as a cylindrical body having openings 1a at the top and bottom.

[0030] Specifically, the body 1 of this embodiment is made of stainless steel, and as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 7 are provided on its circumferential surface, and a groove-shaped mounting section 5 is provided around each opening 1a of the top and bottom, and a needle-punching section 4 is provided in each mounting section 5, and a needle 40 for fixing the fabric 30 is driven into this needle-punching section 4.

[0031] More specifically, the mounting section 5, like the body section 1, is made of metal (stainless steel in this embodiment) and is integrally molded with the body section 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the needle-punching section 4 is constructed separately from the body section 1, and as shown in Figure 2, it is formed in an annular shape and is detachably and replaceably attached to the body section 1 (display section 5).

[0033] Specifically, the needle-punching section 4 in this embodiment is made of wood (cypress) and, as shown in Figure 4, consists of a plurality of forming members 4a that are curved in an arc shape. In this embodiment, the needle-punching section 4 is formed around the openings 1a at the top and bottom by laying these forming members 4a in the arrangement section 5.

[0034] More specifically, as shown in the figure, the needle-punching portion 4 (forming member 4a) of this embodiment has a tapered surface 9 formed on the upper edge of its inner surface. This embodiment is configured to reduce the area of ​​the fabric 30 sandwiched between the needle-punching portion 4 and the lid portion 2 by forming this tapered surface 9, thereby minimizing the damage the fabric 30 receives from being sandwiched between the needle-punching portion 4 and the lid portion 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner surface of the body 1 in this embodiment is covered with a wooden covering member 6. That is, as described above, the body 1 in this embodiment is made of stainless steel, and the heat from the dye solution is transferred during processing in a high-temperature dye solution, causing it to become hot. If the fabric 30 stored in the hot body 1 comes into contact with it for a long time, it may suffer thermal damage. To prevent this, the body 1 in this embodiment is configured so that the inner surface of the stainless steel is covered and concealed by the covering member 6, preventing the fabric 30 stored in the body 1 from coming into contact with the inner surface of the stainless steel.

[0036] Furthermore, the body portion 1 of this embodiment is configured such that a covering member 6 is provided on its inner surface, which absorbs moisture from the body portion 1, suppresses the formation of water droplets within the body portion 1, and prevents as much as possible the transfer of dyes that have been applied to the fabric 30 stored inside the body portion 1 via water droplets.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the covering member 6 of this embodiment is composed of multiple (two in this embodiment) ring-shaped cypress wood plates 6a.

[0038] More specifically, as shown in the figure, the ring-shaped plate material 6a of this embodiment is formed in an annular shape with a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the elastically deformable body portion 1, where the ends overlap. It is positioned inside the body portion 1 in a state of elastic deformation in the diameter reduction direction, expands in diameter by elastically returning to its original shape within the body portion 1, presses against the inner surface of the body portion 1, and is positioned accordingly.

[0039] In this embodiment, metal (stainless steel) is used for the body 1, but the material of the body 1 is not limited to metal; any material that provides the same effects as in this embodiment can be used as appropriate.

[0040] Similarly, the materials for the needle-punching section 4 and the covering member 6 can also be appropriately selected as long as they provide the same effects and advantages as those in this embodiment.

[0041] Furthermore, the lid portion 2 is made of wood (cypress), has an appropriate thickness, and is formed in a circular shape in plan view with a diameter slightly larger than the opening diameter of the opening 1a of the body portion 1. As shown in Figure 1, it is configured to rest on the needle-punching portion 4 provided around the opening 1a of the body portion 1.

[0042] In other words, this embodiment is configured such that the needle-punching section 4, which is installed in the installation section 5, is fixed with this cover section 2.

[0043] Regarding the material of the lid portion 2, as with the pinning portion 4 and covering member 6 described above, any material that provides the same effects and benefits as in this embodiment can be used as appropriate.

[0044] Furthermore, the lid fixing device 3 consists of a lid retaining member 3a and a turnbuckle 3b that presses the lid retaining member 3a against the lid portion 2.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the lid retaining member 3a is made of a rectangular piece of wood (in this embodiment, a wooden rectangular piece of wood is used) that is longer than the outer diameter of the body 1, and the turnbuckle 3b is made of metal (in this embodiment, stainless steel) and has a frame-shaped lid retaining member insertion portion 8 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction through which the lid retaining member 3a is inserted.

[0046] The effects and advantages of this embodiment, configured as described above, will be explained below.

[0047] First, we will explain how to use the vat for vat dyeing in this embodiment.

[0048] In this embodiment, when filling the vat 30 with fabric 30 for vat dyeing (vat filling), as shown in Figure 6, the part of the fabric 30 to be dyed is brought out through the opening 1a of the body 1, the part that is not to be dyed is packed into the vat, and the fabric 30 that is brought out on the outside is fixed by driving needles 40 (in this embodiment, stainless steel needles 40 are used for rust prevention) into the needle-punching part 4, and then the lid 2 is attached.

[0049] Next, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the body 1 with the lid 2 attached is placed in the pressing device 20 with the lid retaining member 3a of the lid fixing device 3 in place, and the lid retaining member 3a is pressed with a predetermined pressure to press the lid 2 against the body 1 (needle striking section 4), and at the same time the needle 40 that has been driven into the needle striking section 4 is removed.

[0050] Next, as shown in Figure 9, while the lid is still pressed, the turnbuckle 3b is attached to the lid retaining member 3a and tightened to fix the lid 2 in contact with the body 1, thus completing the removal from the pressing device 20 (Figure 10 shows the vat for vat dyeing after it has been removed from the pressing device 20).

[0051] Thus, in this embodiment, the lid portion 2 is fixed using a lid fixing device 3 with a turnbuckle 3b and a pressing device 20, so that anyone can easily fix the lid portion 2 in the correct position, and vat dyeing can be performed while reliably preventing the undyed portion of the fabric 30 stored inside the body portion 1 from being dyed.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the body 1 is made of stainless steel, and reinforcing ribs 7 are provided around it, resulting in excellent durability and rust resistance, allowing for long-term use.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the inner surface of the body 1 is covered with a wooden (cypress) covering member 6, this covering member 6 absorbs moisture from the body 1, suppressing the formation of water droplets inside the body 1, and preventing the transfer of dyes that have adhered to the fabric 30 stored inside the body 1 via water droplets. In addition, the metal (stainless steel) parts that have become hot due to high-temperature processing are not exposed on the inner surface of the body 1, preventing contact between the fabric 30 stored inside the body 1 and the hot metal, and thus minimizing the effects of heat damage to the fabric 30.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the body 1 is made of metal (stainless steel), and the lid 2 and needle-punching section 4 are made of wood (cypress). As a result, the inside of the body 1 is not completely sealed, the rise in internal pressure due to high-temperature processing is mitigated, and deformation and damage to the body 1 and lid 2 are prevented as much as possible.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the needle-punching section 4 for driving in the needles 40 to fix the fabric 30 is constructed separately from the body 1 and is detachably and replaceably attached to the body 1. Therefore, if the needle-punching section 4 is damaged by driving in the needles 40, it can be easily repaired by replacing the needle-punching section 4.

[0056] In other words, this embodiment makes the needle-piercing section 4, which is damaged by the impact of the needle 40 and requires repair, a replaceable part, thereby eliminating the need for the complicated repair work of scraping off the damaged portion to expose the new wood, and also eliminating the need to remake the barrel due to the scraping off of the barrel rim that was carried out in conventional repair work.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the needle-punching section 4 is composed of multiple forming members 4a, when replacing it, it is not necessary to replace the entire needle-punching section 4, but only the forming member 4a of the part that needs repair needs to be replaced, and therefore the repair costs can be reduced.

[0058] Thus, this embodiment allows for easy and inexpensive repair of the needle-pierced portion 4 damaged by the impact of the needle 40, and furthermore, eliminates the need to remake the tub, resulting in a highly practical tub for tub dyeing that can be used for a long period of time.

[0059] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of each constituent element can be designed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
