Description

  The present invention relates to an amulet issued at a shrine or temple, for example, which is said to protect itself from disasters and a method for manufacturing the same. In more detail, while using a dense wood of wood, the surface smoothness and gloss, or engraving letters, etc., lacquered, etc., to give a precise finish throughout, while being simple and simple, It is profound and high-class, so to speak, it is something that has added value like crafts.

  The amulet, which is said to bring good luck against disasters, has been used since ancient times because it represents the power of supernatural beings such as God. Therefore, many such amulets are issued under the names of various shrines and temples (temples and shrines), and it can be said that they play a role as a medium for receiving so-called benefits.

In addition, various materials have been adopted as materials for the amulet. For example, stones, jewelry, shells, wood, paper, cloth, plastic, metal, etc. And these are processed into various shapes using materials, for example, “Shrine Buddhist temples such as“ XX Tenmangu ”,“ △△△ shrine ”,“ □□□ temple ”, etc. It was used as an amulet by putting in prayers such as “School achievement”, “Passing prayer”, “Prosperous business”.
And such inscriptions and prayers were expressed by simple printing on the surface of wood boards and the like of the required shape.

However, the conventional amulet made as described above has the following problems.
First of all, especially those made of plastic or metal are often sold at low cost, and the overall finish is rough even if it is well prepared, and the inscriptions and prayers are printed on the paper. Therefore, there was a problem that it seemed so cheap as something that earns profit.
In addition, in the case of wooden materials, cheap external materials are often used as materials. In some cases, cheap domestic timber such as cedar was used, but in any case, because the wood is relatively rough, it is difficult to produce surface smoothness and gloss. Even if it was buried, there was a problem that it was difficult to finish precisely, such as lacquer floating or smearing and characters not appearing clearly.

  In addition, the inventor of the present application repeatedly tried to use the lacquer to give the amulet a high-class feeling like a craft, but found that the lacquer was familiar with the burned and carbonized part of the wood. It was found that if there was a burnt part in the part where the lacquer was put, the riding of the lacquer would be improved, and peeling and lifting would be less likely to occur. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems based on such knowledge.

(Object of the present invention)
The present invention uses a dense wood of wood, smoothness and gloss of the surface, engraving letters, etc., lacquer coating etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high value added amulet such as a craft and a manufacturing method thereof.

The woody dense wood that is the base material of the amulet includes, for example, eucalyptus and rhododendron, but is not limited thereto.
The shape of the amulet base material is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a spherical shape, an elliptical spherical shape, a rectangular parallelepiped shape, a so-called heart-shaped plate shape, a circular shape, and various other shapes. Further, the size of the substrate is not particularly limited.

The portion of the temple or shrine inscription and / or prayer may be any surface (portion) of the surface of the base material, and is not particularly limited. For example, if the substrate is a rectangular parallelepiped, the front surface, the back surface, the side surface, and the like. In addition, the temple and shrine inscriptions and prayers may be shown on different sides or on the same side.
Furthermore, what is displayed on the surface of the base material is not limited to inscriptions and prayers, but can represent, for example, a crest such as a god crest, various picture patterns, or a name. Also, the inscription and prayer can represent both or either one.
In the claims and specification, the term “surface” means “hymen” and is used separately from the term “front surface”.

  The form of the amulet (including the sales form) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a key ring and a strap for a mobile phone. These can also be sold in containers such as wooden boxes.

  The lacquer used is usually colored black, vermilion or brown, but is not limited to these colors. For example, gold or silver can be used.

  As a method of polishing the surface of the substrate, a method of polishing using abrasive cloth paper (also referred to as sandpaper) is usually employed, but other known means can also be employed. The particle size of the abrasive material of the polishing cloth is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a finer one in order to increase the smoothness of the surface.

(Function)
The operation of the amulet according to the present invention will be described.
The amulet uses, for example, ebony or rhododendron that is very dense in wood and has a large specific gravity as a base material. The base material is processed by cutting, cutting, or the like and formed into a required shape.
The color of ebony or purple is not a light brown so-called wood color but black or dark brown, and can give a profound impression to the eye.

  Further, as described above, the base material is very dense in wood, has a large specific gravity and is hard, and therefore, when touched by the hand, it has an unexpectedly heavy weight and a smooth feel. In addition, precise finishing is possible when processing by cutting, cutting, etc., for example, excellent surface smoothness and corner standing, etc., and in the engraving of characters described below, corners are crushed or chipped. Hateful.

In addition, the characters representing the inscriptions and / or prayers of the temples and shrines that are displayed on the surface of the base material are engraved with a laser. Laser engraving is usually performed by computer control, and accurate and precise engraving without any deviation is possible.
A laser that is high energy light can burn and engrave the surface of the substrate. In this case, the surface of the engraving portion is burnt and partially carbonized. The carbonized part of the surface has a myriad of extremely fine holes, and it is familiar with lacquer and is good for lacquer.

In addition, the substrate can absorb moisture in the atmosphere from the surface except for the portion of characters covered with lacquer, but the moisture once taken into the substrate is not easily released into the atmosphere. Lacquer has a peculiar property that it dries well as the humidity is high. If lacquer is simply applied to a wooden surface, the back side of the lacquer may be exposed to moisture for the above reasons and may dry extremely. There is also.
As in the present invention, when there is a carbonized portion between the lacquer and the wood portion, moisture can be retained and stopped, and the lacquer can be prevented from being exposed to moisture from the back side of the carving.
As a result, the back side of the lacquer is not extremely dried, and the lacquer is not easily peeled off or lifted up.

After the lacquer placed in the engraved part is dried, the surface is polished to remove the protruding part of the lacquer from the engraved part or the adhering part (so-called dirt) to parts other than the engraved part. In this way, the lacquer is arranged neatly in the sculpture part.
As a result, the boundary between the characters expressed in lacquer and other surfaces becomes clear on the surface, making it easier to recognize characters representing temples and shrines and prayers.

Finally, the surface is waxed to give gloss. The wax is used to the extent that fine irregularities on the surface can be essentially left so as not to impair the texture of the woody characteristic of ebony or rosewood.
With the above-described configuration, the amulet according to the present invention can give a heavy and high-class impression like a craft, whether it looks or touches the hand.

(A) The amulet according to the present invention uses ebony or purple as the material of the base material, and is not a so-called wood color of light brown, but black or dark brown, and has a profound impression to the eye Can be given. In addition, as described above, the wood is extremely dense and has a large specific gravity and is hard, so when touched by the hand, there is an unexpected weight and a smooth feel. Furthermore, precise finishing is possible when processing by cutting, cutting, etc., for example, excellent surface smoothness and corner standing, and corners are not easily crushed or chipped even in character engraving. Again, the surface is waxed to give it a gloss, so it can give a profound and high-class impression like a craft, and can provide a high-value added amulet.

(B) The characters representing the inscriptions and / or prayers of the temples and shrines expressed on the surface of the base material are engraved with a laser, and the surface of the engraved portion can be burnt and partially charred. In this case, the carbonized part of the surface has countless extremely fine holes, and is familiar with lacquer. Moreover, since there is a carbonized portion between the lacquer and the wood portion, moisture from the wood portion can be held and stopped, and the lacquer can be prevented from being exposed to moisture from the back side of the carving. As a result, the back side of the lacquer, which is easy to dry as the humidity increases, does not extremely dry, and the lacquer is not easily peeled off or lifted up.

(C) After the lacquer placed in the engraved part has dried, the surface is polished to remove the lacquer protrusion from the engraved part and the adhering part (so-called dirt) to parts other than the engraved part. Therefore, on the surface, the boundary between the characters expressed in lacquer and the other surface becomes clear, and the characters representing the inscriptions and prayers of temples and shrines are easy to recognize.

  The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an amulet according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a rear view of the amulet according to the present invention,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

The amulet P is composed of a main body 1 and a hanging strap 2 made of a base material, and is used as a strap for a mobile phone.
The main body 1 uses rosewood as a material, and the overall shape is a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The dimensions of the main body 1 are 40 mm in length, 14 mm in width, and 6 mm in thickness. The dimensions of the main body 1 are not limited to this, and are appropriately set according to the form of the amulet P or the purpose of use.

On the front surface 11 side of the main body 1, a frame line 12 is provided in a quadrangular shape so as to substantially follow the edge of the front surface 11. The frame line 12 is formed by a shallow groove.
On the inner side of the frame 12, the inscription 13 of the shrine “XX Tenmangu” is shown on the lower side, and the shrine 14 of the shrine is shown on the upper side. The inscription 13 and the shrine 14 are shown with vermilion lacquer on the part of the character carved in the Kantai style. The Kantei-style font is suitable as a character for the amulet because it is thick and rounded and has a calm atmosphere. Needless to say, other fonts can be used. How to represent the characters of the inscription 13 and the god crest 14 will be described in detail in the description of the manufacturing method described later.

  A circular through hole 15 is provided on the upper side of the main body 1 away from the frame line 12. The through hole 15 is for attaching the hanging strap 2. The hanging strap 2 has a structure in which a loop-like chain 21 is provided at the base end portion of the loop-like cord body 20. The hanging strap 2 is attached by passing the chain 21 through the through hole 15.

On the back surface 16 side of the main body 1, similarly to the front surface 11 side, a frame line 17 is provided in a rectangular shape so as to substantially follow the edge of the back surface 16. The frame line 17 is formed by a shallow groove.
Inside the frame 17, a prayer 18 for “study achievement” is shown.
Although not shown in this embodiment, characters, crests (emblems), and the like can be expressed on side surfaces (reference numerals omitted) other than the front surface 11 and the back surface 16.

A method of manufacturing the amulet P will be described with reference to FIGS.
(1) Processing rosewood material to produce a rectangular parallelepiped base material (reference numeral omitted) having the above dimensions. The main body 1 is formed by applying the following processing to the substrate.
(2) A frame line 12 is formed by laser processing on the side that becomes the front surface 11 of the base material.
(3) Engraving characters (denoted by reference numerals) to be the godsprint 14 and the inscription 13 by computer-controlled laser processing inside the frame 12. The inscription 13 is engraved in Kantai style.

(4) Since the surface of the engraved character portion 100 is scorched at the high temperature of the laser and the candy-like powder is also adhered, it is removed from the surface by brushing off or sucking with a brush or the like as necessary. Some burnt portions 101 remain on the surface of the engraved character portion 100 (see FIG. 3).
(5) On the side to be the back surface 16 of the base material, the frame line 17 and the Kantei-style characters that become the prayer 18 are engraved in the same steps as in the above (2) to (4). Moreover, the through-hole 15 is formed with a drill in the part away from the frame lines 12 and 17.

(6) Put vermilion lacquer 102 on the surface of the sculptured character portion 100 that becomes the god crest 14 and the inscription 13 and the prayer 18. The lacquer 102 is placed so as to be lower than the front surface 11 and the back surface 16 as a whole.
(7) When the lacquer 102 is dried to a point where there is no hindrance to later processing, the surface of the substrate is polished with sandpaper. The surfaces to be polished are at least the front surface 11 and the back surface 16, but the other surfaces can be similarly polished.

(8) Wax is applied to the entire surface including the polished front surface 11 and back surface 16 of the substrate to give the surface gloss. The wax is used to the extent that fine irregularities on the surface can be essentially left so as not to impair the woody touch that is characteristic of rosewood.
(9) A separately prepared hanging strap 2 is attached through the through hole 15 of the main body 1. Thereby, the amulet P according to the present invention is obtained.
In the present embodiment, sandalwood is used as the material of the main body 1, but the amulet P can be manufactured using ebony as well.

(Function)
The operation of the amulet P according to the present invention will be described.
As the material of the main body 1, the amulet P is made of hard sandalwood with a very dense wood and high specific gravity, so the main body 1 is not a light brown wood color, but a reddish dark brown Yes, it can give a profound impression.

  Also, when touched by the hand, there is an unexpectedly heavy weight and a smooth feel (tactile sensation). Furthermore, precise finishing is possible when the substrate constituting the main body 1 is processed by cutting, cutting, etc., for example, excellent surface smoothness and corner standing, etc. And chipping are less likely to occur.

  The laser can burn and engrave the surface of the substrate. In this case, the surface of the character portion 100 to be engraved is burnt and partially carbonized. The burnt portion 101 of the surface has countless extremely fine holes, and is familiar with the lacquer 102 and the lacquer.

  Further, since there is a burnt portion 101 between the lacquer 102 and the wood portion, moisture can be held and stopped, and the lacquer 102 can be prevented from being exposed to moisture absorbed by the wood portion on the back side. As a result, the back side of the lacquer 102 constituting the shrine 14, the inscription 13, the prayer 18 and the like is not extremely dried, and the lacquer 102 is not easily peeled off or lifted up.

  The surface polishing operation removes the protruding portion of the lacquer 102 from the engraved character portion 100 and the adhering portion (so-called dirt) to portions other than the character portion 100, so that the lacquer 102 is cleanly contained in the character portion 100. Arranged to fit. Thereby, on the surface, the boundary part between the character represented by the lacquer 102 and the front surface 11 and the back surface 16 becomes clear, and the inscription 13 and the prayer 18 are easily recognized even if they are very small characters.

  And finally, according to the above-described configuration in which the surface is waxed and gloss is given, the talisman P according to the present invention is like a craft, even if it looks or touches the hand. A profound and high-class impression can be given.
