In view of the above, there is a demand for the appearance of a string that is excellent in decorativeness and has a restoring force that returns to its original state even when pulled or bent, particularly a string having a genus-like gloss.
The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object thereof is to provide a string that is excellent in decorativeness and has a restoring force that can be restored even when pulled or bent.

The present invention is as follows.
[1] A stretchable rubber-like core, a plurality of film-like strips wound in a mesh pattern on the surface of the rubber-like core, and the film-like strips are alternately knitted into the rubber-like core. And a monofilament wound around the string.
[2] The string according to [1], wherein the rubber-like core body includes a plurality of rubber threads.
[3] The string according to [1] or [2], wherein the plurality of film-like strips are film-like strips having one type or two or more types of metallic luster.
[4] The string according to [3], wherein the film-like belt-like body having one or more kinds of metallic luster has metallic luster or pearly luster, and the monofilament is transparent or black.
[5] The string according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the number of the film-like strips is 8 to 16, and the number of the monofilaments is the same as the number of the film-like strips.
[6] The string according to [5], wherein the film-like strip has a width of 0.5 to 2 mm, and the monofilament has a diameter of 0.05 to 0.2 mm.

According to the string of the present invention, the plurality of film-like strips can be decorated, and the monofilament is wound around the rubber-like core so as to be knitted alternately with the film-like strips. Therefore, even if the string is pulled or bent, the string-like body does not extend completely, and the string has a restoring force to return to the original. Furthermore, in the string of the present invention, since a wide and smooth surface such as a film-like belt-like body is used, compared to the case of using a yarn having a round cross section like a normal fiber yarn or a monofilament yarn, The decorativeness can be remarkably enhanced. On the other hand, the surface of the string is wound only with a fiber or monofilament thread, but the string is recoverable but has a metallic luster, and only the film-like band is wound around the cover. Although the string that has just been provided can give decorativeness, there has been a drawback in that the film-like strip is stretched when pulled many times and cannot be restored.
In addition, when the rubber-like core is composed of a plurality of rubber threads, since there are a plurality of rubber threads, even if a problem occurs in one thread, the function of the rubber thread as a whole is not impaired and is durable. , It won't break if you pull it with human hands.
Further, when the plurality of film-like strips are film-like strips having one type or two or more types of metallic luster, the decorativeness is further improved by one type or two or more types of metallic luster.
In the case where the film-like strip having one or more kinds of metallic luster has metallic luster or pearly luster and the monofilament is transparent or black, the film-like strip has one kind or Two or more kinds of metallic luster or pearly luster can be used to create a string with a unique luster, and if the monofilament is transparent, it will not disturb the color, and if it is black, it will have a unique shadow, A very good string can be realized.
Furthermore, when there are 8 to 16 film-like strips and the same number of monofilaments as the film-like strips, monofilaments are woven into each of the film-like strips. A restoring force can be obtained, and a string having many kinds of metallic luster can be realized.
Moreover, when the width of the film-like strip is 0.5 to 2 mm and the diameter of the monofilament is 0.05 to 0.2 mm, the film-like strip has a sufficient area compared to the monofilament. Because it has, you can make a decorative string.

The string of the present invention comprises a stretchable rubber-like core body, a plurality of film-like belt-like bodies wound around the surface of the rubber-like core body, and a film-like belt-like body alternately braided on the rubber-like core body. A monofilament wound so as to be wound.
“Freely stretchable” means that it can be pulled and bent freely, and after pulling or bending, it returns to its original state when released.
The “rubber-like core” may be a single rubber thread or a bundle of a plurality of rubber thread-like bodies (threads made of rubber). The number of the rubber thread is not particularly limited, but can be 4 to 30, preferably 6 to 24, and particularly preferably about 10 to 24. When bundling the plurality of rubber filaments, an adhesive (natural rubber latex, polymer latex, etc.) may or may not be used.
The diameter of the cross section of one rubber thread or a rubber-like core composed of a plurality of rubber threads can be 1 to 5 mm, preferably 2 to 4 mm. Moreover, the cross-sectional shape of this rubber-like core, that is, the cross-sectional shape of the rubber yarn in the case of one rubber thread or the cross-sectional shape as a whole in the case of a bundle of a plurality of rubber thread-like bodies, The shape is not particularly limited, and may be a circle, a rectangle (such as a square or a rectangle), a pentagon, a hexagon, and the like. Of these, a circle, a square or a rectangle is preferred. Further, the cross-sectional shape of each thread-like body of the plurality of rubber thread-like bodies can be various shapes as described above, and further, thread-like bodies having different cross-sectional shapes can be used in combination. When the cross-sectional shape of each filamentous body is circular, the diameter can be 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably 0.8 to 1.2 mm. When the cross-sectional shape is a square or a rectangle, one side (or a long side in the case of a rectangle) can be 0.5 to 3 mm, preferably 1 to 2 mm.
The material of the rubber thread or rubber thread-like body may be natural rubber or synthetic rubber (SBR, NBR, urethane rubber, etc.), and natural rubber is preferable.
“The surface of the rubber-like core” means the surface when it is made of a single rubber thread, and the outer surface of the overall shape of a rubber-like core made by bundling a plurality of rubber threads. It is.

“Film-like band” means a band having a small thickness and a certain width, and the thickness can be 0.05 to 0.2 mm, preferably 0.08 to 0.12 mm. , The width of the thread can be a long string of 0.5 to 2 mm, preferably 0.8 to 1.2 mm. The material is not particularly limited, and may be polyester, polypropylene, nylon, or the like. Polyester or nylon, particularly polyester is preferable because it is durable, inexpensive and easily available, and easily decorated.

The film-like strip is a film-like strip having metallic luster. This “metallic luster” is (1) “metallic luster” such as gold or silver, and (2) “pearly luster” that can visually recognize various colors depending on the viewing angle etc. (3) Glossy polished ebony, etc., or (4) Fine reflective material such as glass is vapor-deposited to reflect the light and bright It is the luster etc. Only one type of this film-like strip may be used, or two or more types may be combined. Moreover, among the said metallic luster, one type may be sufficient and it is good also as what has two or more types of metallic luster. That is, one kind of material having the same gloss such as the same metal luster may be used, or two or more kinds thereof may be used, or the metal luster and the like having the same metal luster etc. (for example, gold and silver) A combination of different glossinesses (for example, a combination of metallic luster and pearly luster, etc.) may be used. That is, various combinations of material types, types of the same gloss, and different gloss types can be used. When this is one type, it becomes a simple color aesthetic, and when it is two or more types, it becomes a complicated color aesthetic.

“Monofilament” refers to a single yarn having a diameter of 0.05 to 0.2 mm, preferably 0.08 to 0.12 mm. This material can be polyester, polypropylene, nylon, etc. Among these, polyester or nylon is preferable, and polyester is particularly preferable because it is durable, inexpensive and readily available, and easy to dye. ,preferable. Further, one kind of these materials may be used, two or more kinds of yarns may be used in combination, or a composite thread obtained by combining two or more kinds of these materials may be used.
“Wound in an alternating manner” means that when the film-like band is wound around the rubber-like core, the monofilament is alternately wound around the film-like band so as to weave the fibers at the same time. The number of monofilaments is the same as the number of film-like strips, that is, usually 8 to 16, more preferably the film-like strips are film-like strips having one or more kinds of metallic luster. preferable.

In addition, the monofilament is not particularly limited in color and the like, and can be, for example, transparent, black, or a color other than black (for example, red, blue, yellow, etc.). It is preferably transparent or black. When the monofilament is “transparent” or “black”, when it is transparent, it does not interfere with the decorative effect of the film-like band when wound around the rubber-like core. When it is wound around, it becomes a shaded part of the decorative effect of the film-like strip, and a unique and graceful decorative effect is obtained.
Further, the combination of the color type of the film-like band and the transparent or black color of the monofilament can be freely selected, and can be various, for example: (1) A plurality of film-like bands can be separated from the pearly luster. Two sets of pearly luster (for example, a combination of milky white center, light pink center and light blue center), monofilaments can be transparent or black, or (2) multiple films The strip is made of two sets of metallic luster and another metallic luster (for example, gold and silver), the monofilament is black, or (3) a plurality of film-like strips with various pearl-like luster and various metallic luster 2 sets, and the monofilaments are made transparent or black, or (4) a plurality of film-like strips are made into a glass reflective glossy set, and the monofilaments are made transparent or black It can be or. Specifically, as an example in the case of (1), a plurality of film-like strips are combined with a milky white pearl shape and a light pink pearl shape, or a milky white pearl shape and a light blue pearl shape. There are combinations. Examples of (2) include a combination of gold and silver or a combination of gold and white for a plurality of film-like strips. As an example in the case of (3), there are a combination of a milky white pearl shape and a silver color or a combination of a milky white pearl shape and a gold color. As an example in the case of (4), there are only a plurality of film-like strips having a glassy gloss that reflects light well, or a combination of this reflection gloss and metal gloss. Further, the surface of the belt-like body can be made smooth to be a mirror surface.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
(1) Example 1
The string 1 of this embodiment includes a rubber-like core body 11, a film-like belt-like body 12, and a monofilament 13.
The rubber-like core body 11 is a bundle of rubber thread-like bodies 111 as shown in FIGS. The material of the rubber thread 111 is natural rubber and has a circular cross section and a cross section diameter of 1 mm. About 20 rubber thread-like bodies 111 are bundled to form a rubber-like core body 11 having a diameter of about 3 mm as a whole. When bundling the rubber thread, an adhesive may or may not be used, but when used, an adhesive such as natural rubber latex or polymer latex is used.
The film-like band 12 is a film-like yarn made of polyester, having a thickness of 0.1 mm and a width of 1 mm. The film-like strip 12 is wound around the rubber core 11 in a mesh form so that a total of 12 strips of 6 in one direction and 6 in the other direction are woven. Six film-like strips 121 in one direction have a pearly luster centered on milky white, and six film-like strips 122 in another direction (a direction intersecting about 120 degrees in one direction) have a pale blue color as the center. It has a pearly luster.
The monofilament 13 is a single yarn having a material of polyester, a circular cross section, and a diameter of 0.1 mm. The monofilaments 13 are wound in such a way that six fibers in one direction, a total of twelve, are woven on the rubber-like core body 11 so that the fibers are alternately woven with the film-like band-like body 12. The color of the monofilament 13 is transparent.

The string 1 (FIG. 3) having the above-described configuration first bundles about 20 rubber thread-like bodies 111, six film-like belts 121 in one direction on the surface, and six film-like belts in the other direction. The body 122, a total of 12 film-like strips 12 and 12 monofilaments 13 can be wound so as to be knitted alternately in the manner of weaving the fibers.
The string 1 thus made is made of natural rubber with a rubber core 11 that can be freely stretched, and the film-like strips 12 and the monofilaments 13 are alternately wound in a spiral shape. Can be bent freely. Also, if you remove the force, it will return to its original shape and length. Further, since the monofilament 13 is wound so as to be knitted alternately with the film-like strip 12, the monofilament 13 returns to pull back the film-like strip 12 when it is pulled or bent and then returned to its original state. In addition, the film-like band 12 does not extend completely.

(2) Example 2
Example 2 differs from Example 1 only in the gloss of the film-like strip 12. Six film strips 121 in one direction have a pearly luster centered on milky white, and six film strips 122 in another direction have a pearly luster centered on light pink. The monofilament 13 is transparent.

(3) Example 3
Example 3 is different from Example 1 only in the gloss of the film-like strip 12 and the color of the monofilament. The six film-like strips 121 in one direction have a gold gloss, and the six film-like strips 122 in another direction have a silver gloss. The monofilament 13 is black.

(4) Example 4
Example 4 is different from Example 1 only in the gloss of the film-like band 12. The six film-like strips 121 in one direction have a pearly luster centered on milky white, and the six film-like strips 122 in another direction have a golden luster. The monofilament 13 is transparent.

(5) Example 5
Example 5 differs from Example 1 only in the gloss of the film-like strip 12. In Example 5, the six film-like strips 121 in one direction and the six film-like strips 122 in the other direction were both vapor-deposited with a reflective material (glass beads) that reflects glass very well and reflects light. It is. The monofilament 13 is transparent.

(6) Effect of Example According to the string of Example 1, the film-like strip 121 has a milky white pearly luster and the film-like strip 122 has a pale blue pearly luster, giving it a light blue decoration. In this case, since the monofilament 13 is transparent, it does not interfere with the decorativeness. In addition, since the monofilament 13 is wound around the rubber core 11 so as to be knitted alternately with the film-like band 12, the film-like band 12 does not fully extend even if the string 1 is pulled or bent. The string 1 has a restoring force to return to the original.
According to the string of Example 2, the milky white pearly luster of the film-like band 121 and the pale pinky pearly luster of the film-like band 122 can give a light pink decoration. Since the monofilament 13 is transparent, it does not interfere with the decoration.
According to the string of Example 3, the gold-colored gloss of the film-shaped strip 121 and the silver-colored gloss of the film-shaped strip 122 can provide a decorative decoration that shines in light gold, and the monofilament 13 is black at this time. Therefore, it is possible to make a shadow on the light gold color and add astringency to the light gold color.
According to the string of Example 4, the milky white pearly luster of the film-like strip 121 and the golden luster of the film-like strip 122 can give a slightly brilliant golden decoration. Because it is transparent, it does not get in the way of decorativeness.
According to the string of Example 5, the glass-like gloss of the film-like strip 12 gives a unique gloss that reflects light, and at this time, the monofilament 13 is transparent, so it does not interfere with the decorativeness.
