The embroidery sheet is characterized in that an adhesive portion for fixing to an embroidery object is provided on a back surface at a predetermined position excluding a portion corresponding to the embroidery range.

The inventions according to claims 1 to 3 of the present application have an effect that, by using the sheet, an embroidery service can be smoothly and efficiently performed in response to an order from an orderer.
In other words, there is no need to write a mark directly on the embroidery object as in the related art, and the design, embroidery position, size, orientation, etc. to be embroidered can be specified simply by attaching a sheet. ing. Also, since the embroidery position, size, and orientation are directly received from the orderer, there is an effect that the orderer's dissatisfaction with the finished state can be reduced.

  In addition, in the invention according to claim 4, in addition to the above-mentioned effects, since a description column for describing items related to the embroidery order is provided, there is a risk that the design for performing embroidery may be mistaken by checking the description column. This has the effect that properties and the like can be eliminated.

An embodiment of an embroidery sheet according to the present invention and related technology will be described below. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the embroidery sheet according to the present invention is viewed from the front side, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the embroidery sheet is viewed from the back side.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an embroidery sheet (hereinafter simply referred to as a "sheet"), which is formed as a thin, substantially rectangular sheet.
In the area on the front right side of the sheet 1, two large and small large ellipses L and small ellipses S are drawn coaxially, and two mutually orthogonal straight lines X and Y passing through the centers of the respective ellipses are also drawn simultaneously. Have been.

The left column of the sheet 1 is provided with a name column 11 for describing an orderer and a design column 13 for specifying and describing a design to be embroidered. Also, using characters and symbols of a font design prepared in advance, a character etc. designation field 15 for embroidering the orderer's name and initials, a management for managing the contents of the order by a separately managed order book etc. A number column 17 is provided.
Further, a perforation 23 is provided at a substantially central portion of the sheet 1 so that the right area 19 on which the ellipse and the like are described and the left area 21 provided with a name column and the like can be easily separated.

FIG. 2 shows the back surface of the sheet 1. The back surface is provided with a plurality of adhesive portions to which an adhesive material is applied to fix the sheet 1 on a cloth of clothing which is an embroidery object to be described later. Have been. The adhesive portions are adhesive portions 25 and 27 along the upper and lower edges of the sheet 1, adhesive portions 29 and 31 along the left and right edges, and an adhesive portion provided substantially vertically in the center. 33.
Note that the adhesive portions are not provided at least on the back surface of a region corresponding to a region surrounded by an ellipse L drawn on the front surface. That is, this area is a portion that is covered by the embroidery thread and the fabric when the embroidery is performed, and is for preventing the adhesive material from remaining in this portion.

The material of the sheet 1 will be described.
In the present embodiment, as an example of the material of the sheet 1, a product named “Hiselon”, which is handled by Nippon Gohsei, is used. The “Hiselon” is a water-soluble material that is soluble in water.
In addition, if necessary, a material named "Sologron" that melts in hot water at about 100 degrees Celsius, or a material named "Nice film" or "Trick film" that melts by heating with an iron or the like can be used.

In order to perform embroidery using the sheet 1, an automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 that can automatically perform embroidery based on predetermined embroidery data is used. The automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 is directly connected to the management computer 45 or receives embroidery data via a flexible disk or other recording medium.
Although not described in detail, the embroidery data is obtained by using a cloth fixed to a predetermined moving table 42 which can be moved two-dimensionally on the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 in order to express a predetermined design by sewing an embroidery thread. And movement data for relatively moving the sewing needle in accordance with the drive of the sewing needle, and data indicating which color of the embroidery thread is to be selected when using a plurality of colors of embroidery thread.
The moving table 42 is configured to be moved by a predetermined driving means such as a servomotor.

Also, by inputting embroidery data to the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41, predetermined embroidery can be performed. However, based on the same embroidery data, the size of embroidery to be actually performed can be selectively selected. It can be changed at any time.
That is, in the present embodiment, embroidery can be performed according to the size of the two ellipses L and S shown on the surface of the sheet 1. This means that the size of embroidery is selectively changed by changing the moving distance of the moving table 42 with respect to embroidery data (basic data) of a predetermined design according to a predetermined ratio.
Therefore, even for the same pattern, it is not necessary to hold embroidery data for each size of embroidery, and it is possible to respond to the needs of the orderer without increasing the number of data storage devices such as ROM and RAM. I can do it.
Naturally, even though the data can be freely enlarged or reduced on the basis of calculation (in terms of calculation), the thickness of the embroidery thread and the minimum interval for inserting the needle are constant. Simply increasing or decreasing the amount will result in sparse or overcrowded embroidery threads. Accordingly, the number of needle movements (the number of stitches) is increased or thinned out in accordance with the amount of movement of the moving table 42 so that appropriate embroidery is sequentially performed in accordance with an increase or decrease in the amount of movement. It has become.

Next, an example of using the sheet 1 according to the present application to receive an order from an orderer and perform embroidery on a shirt as an embroidery target will be described. The embroidery service is performed by bringing an embroidery object such as a shirt owned by the user to a predetermined service providing store and placing an order.
First, at a predetermined service providing store, a design to be embroidered is selected from designs prepared in advance by the orderer. Detailed descriptions of the designs that can be selected are omitted, but the designs include characters that are popular in TV and games, and animals, plants, and other designs that are identified by numbers. It has become so.
The orderer selects one design from the designs prepared in this way and writes it in the design column 13 (or is filled in by the service provider).
At this time, the size of the embroidery can be selected. That is, when “CARA123-L” is described in the design column 13 as shown in FIG. 1, the design with the number “CARA123” is selected, and the design is set to L size (corresponding to the large oval L of the sheet 1). Embroidery is specified. Further, when "CARA123-S" is designated, it means that the embroidery has the same design as the above and is embroidered in the S size (the size corresponding to the small oval S of the sheet 1).
As described above, by describing the predetermined items in the design column 13, the design is specified and the size when the design is embroidered is specified.

Next, at the same time as the embroidery of the design, for example, it is selected whether or not to embroider the characters such as initials of the user at the same time. Describe. In the case of the present embodiment, what is embroidered by the description in the character etc. designation column 15 is limited to those which are stored in advance as embroidery data as font data such as characters and symbols.
However, as another example, an arbitrarily described figure can be read by a scanner and embroidered in accordance with the read data, and such a service can be provided if equipment is provided.

In addition, the user's name is described in the name column 11 of the sheet 1 as information on the orderer, and an order date and the like are also entered as necessary.
As described above, after the predetermined items are written on the sheet 1, the order contents are managed by a predetermined order ledger or a computer together with the information described in the management number column 17 of the sheet 1 as necessary.
When order contents are managed by a computer, it is possible to automatically total what kind of design was ordered and how many times. In addition, when a character design is used, generally, the fee for use is generated according to the number of times of use, and must be paid to the right holder. That is, it is possible to automatically calculate the usage fee for such a right holder by order management using a computer.

Next, the sheet 1 on which the predetermined items are described is attached to a predetermined shirt 51 as shown in FIG. The mounting position and the mounting direction of the seat 1 are determined by the orderer.
At this time, the large and small large ellipses L and small ellipses S drawn on the sheet 1 indicate the area where the embroidery is performed. Can be attached. The oval area of the attached sheet 1 is an embroidery area for the shirt 51.
Further, the adhesive portions 25, 27, 29, 31, and 33 are provided on the back surface of the sheet 1 as described above, and are fixed to the shirt 51 using these adhesive portions. There are various types of pressure-sensitive adhesives, but a water-soluble material is preferable, and a material that flows down from the attached fabric by a water flow such as washing is preferable.

As described above, predetermined items are described for the sheet 1, and after the sheet 1 is attached to the shirt 51 as an example of an embroidery object, embroidery is performed by the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41. This embroidery work is generally performed in a dedicated factory together with similar embroidery requests collected from various places. Next, a case where embroidery is performed by the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 will be described.
As described above, the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 performs embroidery automatically by inputting predetermined embroidery data on a predetermined recording medium or online with a computer.
The embroidery data is specified by the contents of the design field 13 described on the sheet 1, and the operator inputs the corresponding embroidery data to the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41, and the shirt 51 on which the sheet 1 is attached is attached to the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41. , Automatic embroidery is possible.
When setting the shirt 51 on the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41, two orthogonal straight lines X and Y provided on the sheet 1 and proved as so-called "register marks" are used as a guide. That is, the intersection of the straight lines X and Y indicates the reference position with respect to the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41, and the direction of the straight lines X and Y indicates the direction set with respect to the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41.
By setting the shirt 51 on the automatic embroidery sewing machine 41 as described above, the embroidery design specified on the sheet 1 is embroidered within the range of the elliptical area drawn on the sheet 1.

Further, at the time of the embroidery, the embroidery is performed with the sheet 1 attached to the shirt 51. Therefore, when the embroidery is completed, a part of the sheet 1 remains between the embroidery thread and the cloth of the shirt 51. To remove the remaining sheet 1, the following operation is performed.
That is, in the present embodiment, since the sheet 1 is formed of a water-soluble material, the remaining sheet 1 can be easily washed away by washing the shirt 51 itself with water or the like. . The sheet 1 can be removed by returning the embroidered shirt or the like to the orderer and then washing it by the orderer himself or by receiving a request for cleaning at the same time as the embroidery service. For example, it can be removed by this cleaning operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the adhesive is not provided on the back surface of the sheet 1 at the site where the residual is predicted in advance, the adhesive is prevented from remaining between the embroidery thread and the cloth of the shirt 51. Has become. This is because the pressure-sensitive adhesive itself is water-soluble, but takes into account that the pressure-sensitive adhesive is less likely to flow out than the material of the sheet 1.
Further, the respective ellipses L, S and the straight lines X, Y, etc., which are printed on the sheet 1, are drawn with a predetermined ink, but these ink materials are embroidered when the sheet 1 is immersed in water. The material is selected so that it does not transfer to the material fabric and soak.

  The straight lines X and Y may be formed by embossing or embossing the sheet instead of ink. The sheet 1 is configured so that the right side area of the sheet 1 provided with the straight lines X and Y and the left side area of the sheet 1 provided with the design section 13 and the like can be separated by perforations 23. That is, when the sheet 1 is removed by forming the straight lines X and Y without using the ink, the same operation is performed after the left area using the ink is removed by the perforation 23, thereby transferring the ink to the fabric. Can be completely eliminated.

The embroidery sheet described above has two large and small large ellipses L and small ellipses S as positioning marks indicating an embroidery position on the surface of the same sheet, and two orthogonal traverses passing through the center of each ellipse. Of the embroidery order, such as a name column 11 for describing the orderer, a design column 13 for specifying and describing the design to be embroidered, and the like. .
On the other hand, as another embodiment, it is possible to form a sheet provided with only a positioning mark indicating an embroidery position without providing a description column for describing items related to an embroidery order. That is, two large and small large ellipses L and small ellipses S and two straight lines X and Y orthogonal to each other passing through the center of each ellipse with respect to a sheet formed of a soluble material or a nonwoven fabric as described above. A positioning mark indicating an embroidery position is formed, and the other configuration is the same as that described in the above embodiment.
By forming and using such a sheet, the orderer can arbitrarily designate the position, orientation, range, etc. of the embroidery object owned by the orderer, and the order receiving side also has the position, orientation, range with respect to the embroidery object. Can be recognized without mistake, and embroidery can be performed as ordered.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sheet is described as a soluble material soluble in a predetermined organic solvent or water. However, a sheet made of a nonwoven fabric or the like that is not a soluble material can be used.
In this case, a series of flows until the embroidery is completed is completely the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
The difference is the processing after the embroidery is completed.In this case, the sheet cannot be melted and removed, but the periphery of the sheet where the embroidery has been performed is in a state where many holes have been drilled by embroidery needles. ing. That is, since the perforations for cutting are formed in the same state, unnecessary portions of the sheet body can be easily cut off along the contour of the embroidery portion. It should be noted that the sheet covered with the embroidery thread does not affect the finish of the embroidery or the subsequent quality even if the sheet is left as it is.

Further, as another embodiment, the sheet according to the present invention can have the following structure. That is, the structure of the sheet that is actually attached to the embroidered fabric is as described above, but the name field for describing the orderer for the sheet, the design to be embroidered, the management number, And spells out several paper sheets or sheets describing such information. This is provided with a sheet to be passed to the orderer as a copy for the customer, a copy sheet to be stored at the reception shop, a sheet as an order form for the embroidery factory, and the like, which are detachably provided.
By forming such an embroidery sheet, it is possible to provide an embroidery sheet suitable for management from receiving an order to delivery of an article.

It is a front view of the sheet body concerning the present invention. It is a rear view of the sheet body concerning this invention. It is an explanatory view for explaining a sewing machine and the like used for carrying out the present invention.
