CROSS-REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority over the Korean Patent Application No. 20-2010-0000215 , filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on January 11, 2010, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, and the benefits thereof.

GENERAL PRIOR ART

(a) Field of the invention

The present invention relates to a rod-shaped kneading mass element for crafting, and more particularly to a rod-shaped kneading mass element formed into a rod-like shape so that it can be easily and conveniently used for crafting and good strength and within a certain length and Thickness has excellent strength and dimensional stability (or dimensional stability).

(b) Description of the Related Art

In general, crafting or working is carried out to make various objects at home, in schools, institutions, kindergartens and the like with plasticine, in order to arouse the interest of children or pupils and to promote their creativity.

The modeling clay used in the crafting process can be real clay. However, since this is difficult to obtain or deliver and is limited in expressing various shapes or colors, clay for crafting (or "artificial clay") which is industrially manufactured and sold is generally used.

For example, conventional plasticine is mixed with a plasticizer, a thickening agent, a dye (or pigment), water and the like and prepared with a mold which is advantageous for distribution, packaging and handling, and then marketed.

Meanwhile, one of the forms of modeling clay, which is occasionally or frequently made when working with modeling clay, is a rod-like shape, and the conventional modeling clay for crafting lacks dimensional stability, causing the problem that the shape of the molded modeling clay is hardly preserved and difficult is to make several pieces of plasticine of the same rod shape.

The information disclosed in the present background section is merely for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore may include information that is not in the prior art that is known to one of ordinary skill in the art in this country.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a rod-shaped kneading element for crafting made of wax, pigment filler and a dye (or a coloring agent) and formed into a rod-like shape with a certain length and thickness, so that it can be easily and conveniently used for crafting, which has excellent strength to provide excellent dimensional stability (or dimensional stability) without the use of a scaffold or stiffener, and which softens using a body temperature and then can be cured at room temperature, so that it is repeated several times can be used.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a rod-shaped kneading element for crafting having a composition obtained by heating and melting wax, adding pigment filler and a dye to the molten wax, and then melting and dispersing the pigment filler and of the dye is formed in the wax, wherein the mass has a rod-like shape.

The mass may be shaped such that its cut surface has, for example, a circular, an oval, a polygonal shape or the like.

The thickness of the mass (which in the case of the circular mass refers to the diameter, in the case of an oval mass to the length of the longer axis and in the case of the polygonal mass to the diameter of the peripheral circle) can be in the range of 0.3 mm to 10 mm lie.

The mass may be wound into a ready-to-use state in a spiral shape.

When the mass is wound into a spiral shape in a ready-to-use state, the mass may be wound in a ready-to-use state into various spiral shapes such as a cylindrical shape, a plate shape, a twisted shape, and the like.

As the wax, either microwax, beeswax or Japan wax, or a mixture of two or more of them may be used, and the use amount is in the range of 50 wt% to 80 wt%.

As the pigment filler, calcium carbonate, kaolin clay, talc or magnesium carbonate or a mixture of two or more thereof may be used, and the use amount is in the range of 10 wt% to 40 wt%.

As the dye, either an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment, a fluorescent pigment, a metal pigment, a pearl pigment or a phosphorescent pigment or a mixture of two or more thereof can be used, and the use amount is in the range of 1 wt% to 10 wt .-%.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the rod-shaped modeling clay member for tinkering in the use of the putty composition has excellent strength and dimensional stability because the putty composition is prepared using wax, pigment filler and a dye. Thus, the rod-shaped modeling clay element for crafting is very useful when working with plasticine and can maintain excellent strength and dimensional stability (or dimensional stability) without the use of scaffolding or stiffening.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the invention, the rod-shaped modeling clay member can be made soft and flexible when touched by the user because it softens at body temperature, enabling easy and convenient tinkering of a shape requiring flexibility such as a letter form Numerical shape, a twisted shape, a wound shape or the like, and since the plasticine can be cured at room temperature, it can be reused several times.

Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the handling of the rod-shaped modeling clay member for tinkering such as transportation, packing and the like is easier because the rod-shaped modeling clay member is wound into a spiral form ready for use, and also can the rod-shaped plasticine element for tinkering in a required amount are handled so that it can be used in a conventional manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

There will now be described a rod-shaped modeling clay dough element according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, as in 1 to 3 For example, a rod-shaped kneading element for crafting according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a mass 10 formed by heating and melting wax, adding pigment filler and a dye to the molten wax, and then melting and dispersing the pigment filler and the dye in the wax, the mass in this case having a rod-like shape.

As wax, 50 wt .-% to 80 wt .-% of microwax used and heated to about 85 ° C and melted.

Beeswax or Japan wax or a mixture of two or more of these waxes may be used instead of microwax.

The pigment filler used is 10% by weight to 40% by weight of calcium carbonate.

Instead of calcium carbonate, kaolin, talc or magnesium carbonate or a mixture of two or more of these may be used as the pigment filler.

As the dye, either an organic pigment, an inorganic pigment, a fluorescent pigment, a metal pigment, a pearl pigment or a phosphorescent pigment, or a mixture of two or more thereof can be used.

For example, Yellow 2GS (UKSEUNG CHEMICAL CO. LTD.) Is used as a dye.

The use amount of the dye is about 1 wt% to 10 wt%.

The crowd 10 has a rod-like shape with a circular cut surface and a diameter in the range of 0.3 mm to 10 mm and a length in the range of 1 cm to 30 cm.

As in 4 shown, the mass can 10 be formed with a square cut surface. In addition, the crowd can 10 be formed with any other sectional shape, such as with a triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal Schnittflächenform or the like.

Indicates the mass 10 a polygonal sectional shape on, corresponds to the thickness of the mass 10 the diameter of the circumference circle, which is in the range of 0.3 mm to 10 mm.

Although not shown in the drawings, the mass can 10 also have an oval sectional shape, and in this case corresponds to the thickness of the mass 10 the length of the longer axis of the oval cross section, which is in the range of about 0.3 mm to 10 mm.

In a further exemplary embodiment, which is described in 5 and 6 is shown, the rod-shaped plasticine element for crafting in ready to use state to be wound into a spiral shape.

Is the rod-like plasticine element for crafting ready for use wound to the spiral, the handling of the rod-shaped plasticine element for crafting, such as transport, packaging and the like, easier and also the rod-shaped plasticine element for crafting in a required Quantity can be handled so that it can be conveniently used.

The present exemplary embodiment is the same as the first exemplary embodiment except for the configuration, so that a detailed description will be omitted.

While the invention has been described in conjunction with what is presently considered to be practicable exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but, on the contrary, is intended to encompass various modifications and equivalent arrangements that are within the spirit and scope of the invention of the appended claims.
