DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, a decorative ribbon according to the present invention is shown generally at 10.

A decorative ribbon (hereinafter, simply referred to as "ribbon") 10 includes a ribbon piece 12 and both ends 1 of the ribbon piece.
4 and 15, which have elastic connecting pieces 16 for connecting the both ends to each other, form a ring as a whole.

In the ribbon 10 of the present invention, both ends 14 of the ribbon piece 12 are pulled in opposite directions, and the connecting piece 16 is drawn.
When a tensile force is applied to the connection piece 16, the connection piece 16 elastically expands, and the size or diameter of the ring increases. When the pulling force of the ribbon piece 12 is weakened, the size of the ring returns to its original size due to the elastic return of the connecting piece 16.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, general decoration performed by wrapping the ribbon 10 around both corners 20 of the packaging box 18 which are opposed to each other in the diagonal direction can be performed as follows. The ribbon 10 has different length dimensions (ring length) in a state where it is used for decoration (state shown in FIG. 2) and a state before it is used (state shown in FIG. 1). That is, the length dimension in the decorated state is larger than the length dimension in the non-decorated state.

The ribbon 10 has its connecting portion 16 extended and the ring is enlarged so that both corner portions 20 of the packaging box 18 are extended.
Can be hung on. After hanging, the ribbon piece 12 comes into contact with the surface of the packaging box 18 in a tensioned state by the elastic return of the connection piece 16, and this state is maintained. Further, the ribbon piece 12 hung on the packaging box 18 can be pulled to shift its position appropriately, whereby the position of the ribbon piece 12 on the packaging box 18 can be easily corrected to be optimum. be able to.

Instead of the illustrated ribbon example having a single ribbon strip 12, a ribbon having two ribbon strips (not shown) can be used. The two ribbon pieces each have one end and the other end, and both ribbon pieces are previously tied together at these one ends. Further, both ribbon pieces are connected to each other at their other ends by the same connecting piece as the connecting piece 16. As a result, a ribbon with two ribbon pieces will likewise form an overall ring. The lengths of both ribbon pieces can be set to be the same or different.

According to the ribbon of the present invention, in the decoration work using the ribbon, it is not necessary to maintain the tension state of the ribbon when the decoration using the conventional ribbon is performed and to tie the both ends of the ribbon in the meantime. Anyone can do it easily and in a short time. The decoration with the ribbon 10 can be hung on the product itself and attached to it regardless of the shape of the packaging box.

A plurality of types of ribbons 10 having different ring lengths can be prepared in advance according to the size of a packaging box, a product, etc. to be decorated. Further, the width dimension, color, material, etc. of each of the ribbon piece 12 and the connection piece 16 can be arbitrarily selected in consideration of the decorative effect. The ribbon 10 can be attached to the connection box 16 so that the connection piece 16 is located on the back side of the packaging box or the product.
The connection piece 16 may be covered with a seal, for example.

The ribbon piece 12 is decorated with a fabric made of synthetic fiber such as nylon fiber or polyester fiber, a fabric made of chemical fiber such as acetate, a fabric made of natural fiber, or a tape made of polypropylene or vinyl. It can be arbitrarily selected in consideration of the effect.

Further, the connecting piece 16 can be made of a strip-shaped polyurethane resin, a strip-shaped rubber band, or the like. An arbitrary pattern can be attached to the connection piece 16 itself,
As a result, the unsightly appearance due to the exposure of the connection piece 16 itself can be reduced, or conversely, it can be a decorative point. The length dimension and the width dimension of the connection piece 16 can be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the elastically expandable amount. Further, instead of the illustrated example of the single connecting piece 16, for example, a plurality of connecting pieces (not shown) extending in parallel to each other may be used.

The connection piece 16 can be fixed to the ribbon piece 12 in consideration of both of these materials by using an arbitrary fixing means such as an adhesive, ultrasonic bonding, heat fusion, or stitching.

Connection piece 1 to both ends 14 and 15 of the ribbon piece
6 is fixed to both end portions 22 of the connecting piece as in the illustrated example.
And preferably these ends 22 are on the inner surface side of the ring. Instead of the example shown,
Even if both end portions 22 of the connecting piece are fixed to both end portions of the ribbon piece 12 so that both free ends of the ribbon piece 12 are in contact with each other (butt against each other), or both end portions of the ribbon piece 12 overlap each other. Good. According to this, the connection piece 1
Part or all of 6 can be covered by both ends 14 of the ribbon piece.

Referring to FIG. 3, each end 1 of the ribbon piece
Both side edge portions 24, 26 of 4, 15 are folded over each other, the end 22 of the connecting piece is wrapped in the folded portion 24, 26 of the end of the ribbon piece 12, and both portions 24, 2
6 and the remaining portion are sewn with a thread 28, and the end of the ribbon piece 12 is folded back along the suture line (suture thread) 28. However, in order to better show the state in which both side edge portions 24 and 26 of the ribbon piece are folded, the state in which the end portion 22 of the connecting piece is arranged in the both side edge portions, and for comparison, one of The end portion 14 is shown in a state where it is not folded back along the suture line, and the other end portion 15 is shown.
Shows the state already folded back along the suture line. The folding of the one end 14 along the suture line is performed in the direction indicated by the arrow 30 on the ribbon piece.

As a result, the one end 22 and the thread 28 of the connecting piece can be covered with the both side edge portions 24 and 26 of the end of the ribbon piece, and the decorative appearance can be further improved.

To further enhance the decorative function of the ribbon 10 or its decorative performance, it may have a bow 32.

The bow 32 can be formed by winding or tying another ribbon piece at one position in the longitudinal direction of the ribbon piece 12. The location where the bow 32 is tied can be determined according to the shape, size, etc. of the object to be decorated with the ribbon 10.

The size and color of the bow 32, the width of the other ribbon used for the bow 32, and the like can be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the decorative effect. The bow 32 may be of multiple construction, such as double, instead of being single as in the illustrated example. Also, bow 32
Instead of this, artificial flowers can be attached to the ribbon piece 12 and integrated with it.

Referring now to FIG. 4, the packaging box according to the present invention is generally indicated at 34.

The packaging box 34 includes a ribbon 10 having a single ribbon piece 12 or the ribbon having two ribbon pieces, and a box body 36. The packaging box 34 further includes the box 3
It is possible to include a lid 38 that covers the open end and covers the open end. Further, the ribbon 10 may not have the bow 32 as described above.

The box body shown in the figure has an elliptical planar shape, but instead of this, a rectangular planar shape as shown in FIG. 2, another polygonal planar shape, a circular planar shape. It can have a shape or the like.

The box 36 has a side wall 40, and the side wall 40 is provided with a hole 42 at each of a pair of positions facing each other. The illustrated hole 42 is composed of slits parallel to the bottom wall 44 of the box, and the ribbon 10, more specifically the ribbon piece 12, is passed through both slits. Therefore, ribbon 1
0 has a part thereof (a part of the ribbon piece 12 and the connecting piece 16 in the illustrated example) inside the box 36, and the other remaining part (the remaining part of the ribbon piece 12 and the bow 32. ) Is attached to the box body 36 so that it is outside the box body 36. When the packaging box 34 is not used, the bow 32 and a part of the ribbon piece 12 connected to the bow 32 can be housed in the box 36, and can be covered with the lid 38. For ribbons having two ribbon pieces, each ribbon piece is threaded through each hole.

The ribbon 10 is attached to the box body 36 by, for example, the ribbon piece 1 before the ribbon connecting piece 16 is fixed.
Both ends (the other ends in the case of having two ribbon pieces) of 2 are respectively passed through the slits 42 from the outside of the box body 36 toward the inside thereof, and then the ribbon piece 1
It is carried out by fixing the connecting pieces 16 to both ends of 2.

The length of the ribbon is preferably set so that when the ribbon is wound around the lid 38, the ribbon piece contacting the surface of the lid 38 slightly presses the surface. When the lid 38 is not used, the length is set such that the box 36 or the products packed in the box 36 are slightly pressed from above. By wrapping around the ribbon, the box body 36 and the lid body 38, or the box body 36 and the products housed in the box body 36 and exposed to the outside can be simply and well decorated.

The height position at which both slits 42 should be provided is
It can be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the decorative effect. In addition to both slits 42, another pair or a plurality of pairs of slits may be provided in parallel at the upper position or the lower position. Thereby, the slit 42 through which the ribbon piece 12 is to be passed can be selected in consideration of the shape and size of the box body 36, the use or non-use of the lid body 38, and the like so as to obtain a higher decorative effect.

In the illustrated example, the both holes 42 are provided on the major axis of the ellipse, but instead of this, two opposite positions other than on the major axis, for example, on the minor axis of the ellipse. Or in non-opposing positions. Further, the hole 42 may have a round shape, a square shape, or the like, instead of the illustrated example in which the hole is a slit.

Further, a plurality of pairs of holes 42 can be provided, and a plurality of ribbons can be passed through the plurality of pairs of holes 42, respectively, whereby the decorative effect can be further enhanced.
