DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display label attached to clothing, bedding and the like to indicate their quality, handling, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a display label attached to clothing or bedding, a label formed by printing a code such as a letter or a symbol on the surface of a base cloth made of a woven cloth or a soft film, a letter,
The label which weaves a symbol etc. is used.

[0003] According to this, when purchasing or using clothes or bedding, by visually recognizing the contents of the display labels attached thereto and recognizing the contents thereof, the materials, precautions, washing method, etc. of these items are recognized. Can be confirmed.

[0004] However, a planar display consisting of printed or woven codes cannot convey that information to the visually impaired or visually impaired. In addition, information on colors is missing in the conventional display. For this reason, for example, there was a problem in the selection of clothing to be worn by the visually impaired person. In addition, the handling of the washing method and the like is not known, and therefore, the clothes are damaged or damaged by an inappropriate washing method, and unnecessary cleaning expenses are inevitable.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a display label which can be recognized by a visually impaired person. Another object of the present invention is to provide a display label that can be recognized by both visually impaired persons and healthy persons.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a display label includes a base cloth and a sign represented by one or more elastic projections attached to a surface of the base cloth. The code may include Braille, and in addition to these codes, may include a planar code represented on the surface of the base fabric.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the sign displayed on the surface of the display label comprises one or a plurality of projections, so that the visually impaired person can use the display label attached to a predetermined portion of clothing or bedding. By touching the sign of
You can recognize what that means. Examples of the codes include Braille, which is a phonetic character that can indicate the material and color, and a graphic symbol indicating a washing method or an ironing temperature. In addition, the protrusions having the above-mentioned code having elasticity make the wearer or the user of clothes, bedding or the like to which the protrusions are applied feel and feel good.

In addition to the three-dimensional code represented by the protrusion,
By adding planar codes such as printed characters and figures, not only visually impaired persons but also healthy persons such as their assistants can recognize the meanings represented by these codes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, a label 10 is attached to clothing and bedding by sewing or bonding, and indicates the material and handling method of the clothing and bedding as a whole. .

The display label 10 comprises a base cloth 12 and a reference numeral 14 shown on the surface thereof.

The base fabric 12 is made of, for example, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric or a nonwoven fabric made of synthetic fibers or natural fibers, a thin and flexible synthetic resin film, or the like, and has, for example, a rectangular planar shape. Needless to say, the planar shape of the base cloth 12 can have any shape other than the rectangular shape.

Reference numeral 14 shown on the base cloth 12 comprises one or more characters, one or more symbols, one or more figures, or a combination thereof. In the illustrated example, reference numeral 14 denotes two Braille (phonetic characters) 16 and three figures 18
And a combination of Usually, the symbols and figures have a predetermined semantic content.

In the present invention, each of the characters, symbols or figures constituting the reference numeral 14 is formed of one or a plurality of projections rising from the surface of the base cloth 12. Therefore, a visually impaired person can easily recognize the meaning content shown on the display label 10 by touching these projections with a finger.

Therefore, for example, it is possible to convey to a visually impaired person, for example, Braille on the base cloth 12 about color information which is assumed to be normal for a healthy person without a visual impairment. This allows the visually impaired to select and wear clothing of a desired color by himself.

The one or more projections indicated by reference numeral 14 are made of an elastic material, for example, a soft synthetic resin material, a rubber material, etc., and the characters and symbols are in a dotted or linear form. With respect to the figure, the base cloth 12 may be formed in a linear form extending along the contour or in a form in which all or a part of a portion surrounded by the contour is filled.
Is attached to the surface.

The elastic projections, unlike those having no elasticity, provide comfort to a person who touches the projections and do not hurt the skin of a wearer of the clothes, a user of bedding, and the like. From this viewpoint, it is desirable that the outer shape of the projection be round. The degree of the elasticity, that is, the hardness of the projections, depends on the location where the display label 10 is attached, that is, whether the location directly touches the wearer or user's skin of clothing, bedding, or the like. It can be arbitrarily determined according to whether or not.

The display label 10 can be formed, for example, by arranging the molding material for the protrusions on the base cloth 12 and molding the same on the base cloth.

The molding material for the projections is, for example, a filler such as silica (preferably, the entire molding material is added to dimethylpolysiloxane, methylvinylpolysiloxane, etc., which are two-component addition polymerization resins having high viscosity). (About 10% by weight) and peroxide (2% by weight).

The projections are formed by placing the synthetic rubber on the surface of the base fabric 12 by intaglio printing or screen printing.
Thereafter, it is heated at a temperature of about 120 degrees for 4-5 hours. By this heating, the synthetic rubber is hardened, whereby a projection which is firmly adhered to the base cloth 12 and has excellent heat resistance, washing resistance and the like can be obtained.

In addition to the three-dimensional code 14 composed of the protrusions, a two-dimensional code (not shown) can be added to the surface of the base cloth 12. The two-dimensional code can be added to the margin of the base fabric 12 by printing, for example.

By adding the two-dimensional codes,
The meaning content displayed by the display label 10 can be recognized not only by a visually impaired person but also by a healthy person without a visual impairment.

Incidentally, a nylon thermoplastic resin sheet (not shown) may be attached to the back surface of the base cloth 12. According to this, the display label 10 is placed on a desired place such as purchased clothing and the like, and an iron is applied to the surface of the display label (for example, at a temperature of 120 to 140 ° C. for 1 to 3 seconds), and the back of the display label 10 By thermally melting the thermoplastic resin sheet, the display label 10 can be easily bonded to the clothing or the like.
