Description

The present invention relates to an aggregate of blocks such as trees, and more particularly to an aggregate of blocks that are sewn so as to have a spread with a thread or string.
The block assembly of the present invention can be used as interior decorations such as joinery (shoulder shoji, bran, etc.), partitions, screens, folding screens, balustrades, chairs, etc. Can be suitably used.

  Conventionally, there are linear design aggregates (for example, ball goodwill or the like) in which holes are made in blocks such as wood and gathered through strings or the like. However, not only the three-dimensionally shaped blocks are gathered linearly in one direction with strings etc., but also gathered together with strings etc. so as to expand in the horizontal direction and at the same time have a design effect I can't find my body. In addition, although there exist what was fixed with a braided tree, a nail, an adhesive agent, etc. from the past, it is completely different from the present invention.

  Of course, there is a bead knitting that uses three-dimensional bead balls and is knitted in a planar shape with yarn etc., but this is done by first arranging warp yarns at a predetermined interval, and then having one through hole in the center. Pass the weft thread through a large number of beads (the same number as the space between the warp threads), press each bead ball so that it is located between the warp threads, fold back the weft thread at the warp thread at the side end, and again penetrate each bead ball. The first stage is completed when weft is passed through the hole. That is, the weft thread inserted into the through hole of each bead ball is folded back at the warp portion at the side end and inserted again so that it is doubled in the through hole, and the warp thread is doubled between adjacent bead balls. Each bead ball cannot move from the place because it is sandwiched between the wefts. Repeat this to complete bead knitting. It is mainly used to make ornaments such as personal items and handicrafts.

In addition, there are triangular knitting that progresses while knitting while forming a triangle with three cylindrical bamboo beads, and net knitting that progresses so that the row of beads passed through the thread becomes a net shape. There is only one through hole, and when the rows of bead balls are connected to the side, the yarn is doubly passed through one through hole at the contact point of both.
Thus, the bead knitting and the like are greatly different from the block aggregate of the present invention in the knitting method and weaving method, the shape of the bead ball, the state of the gap (space part) in the knitted state, the purpose of use, and the like. Therefore, it does not give any suggestion in devising the block aggregate of the present invention that constitutes a decorative member such as a joinery or a fixture used indoors or a design ornament.

  The problem to be solved is to construct a block aggregate in which a large number of blocks such as trees are expanded and connected together so as to be able to do so. Conventionally, there has been no such block aggregate or something similar thereto, and the present invention seeks to solve this.

  The present invention has been made in the background of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a block aggregate configured to have a spread by stitching together blocks such as wood with a string or the like. is there.

The present invention made to achieve the above object is configured as follows.
A Intersections of yarns, strings and other first bendable linear materials arranged at a predetermined interval in one direction and yarns, strings and other second bendable linear materials arranged at a predetermined interval in the other direction A block assembly in which three-dimensional blocks are arranged in the block, and the block is formed so that two through holes along the direction of the first linear material and the second linear material intersect with each other. A block assembly in which the first and second linear members are inserted into the through holes so that the blocks are located at the intersections of the two linear members and stitched together with the linear members.
In the block assembly described in section B A, the first linear members are arranged at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction, and the second linear members are arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. A rectangular parallelepiped block is arranged at the intersection of the material, and the block has a square or a substantially square cross section to form a cube of a predetermined height, and the first and second diagonal lines of the block itself at the middle part of the height. A through-hole through which the second linear material can be inserted is formed, and the first and second linear materials are inserted into both through-holes so that the block is located at the intersection of the two linear materials. Block assembly made by stitching together with linear material.
In the block assembly described in C A or B, both through holes are formed by providing grooves having a predetermined depth in the diagonal direction on one side of two members each having a height obtained by dividing the block height by two. In addition, the first and second members are formed on one side of one member of the two members having a height obtained by joining the two members so that the grooves intersect each other to form a block, or two blocks having a height divided by two. Two blocks having a predetermined depth intersecting the direction of the two linear members are provided, and one member having the groove is covered with the other member so that both members are joined to form a block. Block aggregate.
A block assembly according to any one of items D A to C, wherein a wire or other rigid wire is substituted for the first linear body and the second linear body that can be bent, such as threads, strings, and the like. A block assembly that is inserted into the through-hole of each block using a rod-like body.
E The block assembly according to any one of items A to D, wherein the block has at least chamfered or rounded corner portions that contact each other with adjacent blocks.
Here, the intersection of the first linear material and the second linear material is not limited to the case where the two linear materials are in contact with each other, but also includes the case where they are not in contact but intersect in the projection view.

  The block aggregate of the present invention has (1) a structural and decorative form that has not been seen so far, and has an effect of giving a good impression (a hobby) to the viewer. (2) Since a string is inserted through the through-holes of each block and connected to each other to expand, it is possible to feel the possibility of moderate deflection when touching or looking at the body. There is an effect that gives a special hobby feeling different from that fixed and fixed to. (3) Further, when a string or the like is inserted into the through-holes provided in both diagonal directions of each quadrangular block and stitched together, the blocks are connected at the corners and a square gap is formed between the blocks. Since it appears every other place, it has the effect of giving a hobby as if it were a block net. (4) Furthermore, the contrast between the block and the gap gives a favorable impression. (5) Changing the aspect ratio of the rectangular block changes the shape of the gap as well as the block, giving a different impression (hobby). (6) Furthermore, if the number of blocks to be used is increased or decreased, the size and shape of the block aggregate can be adjusted / adjusted according to the objects and places to be used. (7) Further, if the block has a shape other than a quadrangle, a different taste is given.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a frame, and a block aggregate 14 composed of a large number of blocks 12 is arranged inside the frame. The frame 10 has a string 16 as a first linear member folded and stretched in each step in the horizontal direction, and a second linear member folded and stretched in each column in the vertical direction. The string 18 is inserted vertically and horizontally into the through-holes of the numerous blocks 12 so that the blocks 12 are positioned at the intersections of the string 16 and the string 18, respectively. It should be noted that a finely handwritten (freehand) densely drawn hatched portion indicates a plan view of the block (the same applies to FIGS. 4, 6 to 9, and 11).

As shown in FIG. 2, the block 12 is a rectangular parallelepiped having the same vertical and horizontal length and a predetermined height, and through holes 20 and 22 are formed in both diagonal directions in the middle portion of the height. 18 can be inserted. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the through holes 20 and 22 appear to intersect when viewed from the top of the block, but are shifted up and down so as not to interfere directly. In this case, the vertical displacement at the intersection of the two through holes may be such that the outsides of the inserted strings 16 and 18 are in contact with each other. There is an advantage that it is easy to insert because the vicinity of the center of the string does not interfere with each other when the string is inserted. In addition,
You may provide so that both through-holes may cross | intersect the same height position. If it carries out like this, since it becomes difficult to insert when a string crosses, it is sufficient to make a through-hole a little large. Since the block 12 is made of wood, it has a gentle appearance and hitting the body and has a good taste. It is also possible to use other materials such as plastic.

  In addition, each ridge line portion of the block 12 is chamfered. Although chamfering eliminates fluttering and flashing and gives an elegant feeling, it is particularly essential for the ridge line where the openings of the through holes 20 and 22 are located. This has the effect of facilitating drilling by flattening the entrance portion of the through hole and eliminating or eliminating the gap between adjacent blocks when assembling the blocks so that the strings 16, 18 can be seen from the gap. There is. Further, if the ridge lines at the corners of the blocks are brought into contact with each other, they are easily detached by line contact and unstable, and therefore, chamfering results in surface contact of the chamfered portion and is stable. Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, the corner portion may be rounded instead of chamfering. The size of the block aggregate 14 can be appropriately changed by adjusting the number of blocks 12 in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, or both directions. Of course, it is necessary to change the size of the frame 10.

FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) show, as a modified example of the block 12, a part that can be provided with a through hole without using a drill or the like. That is, the grooves 28 and 30 are provided in the diagonal directions on the end faces of the half blocks 24 and 26 whose height is half the height of the block 12, respectively. If the end faces of both half blocks are bonded in the direction in which the grooves intersect, a block in which the through holes intersect is completed.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which a block assembly 33 configured like the block assembly 14 is arranged on the backrest portion of the chair 32. Instead of the frame 10, members on both sides of the backrest and upper and lower members are used.

5 (a) to 5 (e) are examples in which block assemblies 44, 46, 48, 50, and 52, which are configured in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, are arranged on the partition 34, the space 36, the partitions 38 and 40, and the waist plate shoji 42. Indicates. In both cases, the upper and lower members are used instead of the frame. Of course, a block aggregate with a frame can be fitted and attached.
Both are wooden blocks, and because they use net-like block aggregates sewn together with strings, the contrast between the blocks of the block aggregate and the gaps (spaces) gives a good feeling to the viewer. In addition, since it is sewn with a string, when touching the body, it feels different from the touch when touching a rigid body or solid, and the wooden block is also gentle to the eye as well as touching by hand, so these are Combined with this, there is an effect that makes you feel a pleasant hobby like never before.

6 and 7 are schematic explanatory views (conceptual diagrams) showing another embodiment of the present invention. The description of the parts that are the same as those in the above embodiment and do not need to be changed will be omitted. The block aggregate 54 shown in FIG. 6 is configured such that the distance between the vertical strings 58 is wider than the distance between the horizontal strings 56 and the block 60 is formed into a horizontally long rhombus. In contrast, the block aggregate 64 shown in FIG. 7 has a configuration in which the distance between the vertical strings 68 is narrower than the distance between the horizontal strings 66 and the block 70 is formed into a vertically long rhombus. Both of them give a hobby feeling similar to that of the above embodiment to the viewer, but the former gives a sense of stability and the latter gives a smart feeling. 6 and 7, the portion of the string that protrudes from the frame is drawn so as to be easy to understand the connection, but is actually strained. The same applies to FIGS. 8 to 11 below.

  8 and 9 are schematic explanatory views (conceptual diagrams) showing still another embodiment of the present invention. The description of the parts that are the same as those in the above embodiment and do not need to be changed will be omitted. The block aggregate 72 shown in FIG. 8 is a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped at the intersection of a string 74 inclined downward to the right at a predetermined interval and a string 76 whose interval and inclination angle are the same as the string 74 and whose inclination direction is opposite. A block 78 is arranged. The block aggregate 80 shown in FIG. 9 is the same as the block aggregate 72 in FIG. 8 in that a rectangular parallelepiped block 86 is arranged at the intersection of a string 82 inclined downward to the right and a string 84 inclined downward to the left. The difference is that the slant angles of the strings 82 and 84 are further increased and the block 86 is a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic explanatory view (conceptual diagram) showing still another embodiment of the present invention. A portion where lines are finely drawn at a predetermined interval indicates a block. The description of the parts that are the same as those in the above embodiment and do not need to be changed will be omitted. A block aggregate 88 shown in FIG. 10 includes a string 90 that is folded back and stretched for each step in the horizontal direction and a string 92 that is folded and stretched for each column in the vertical direction. The block 94 is inserted into the through hole vertically and horizontally, and the block 94 is positioned at the intersection of the string 90 and the string 92. 1 is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the block is located at the intersection of the horizontal string and the vertical string, but the outer shape of the block 94 is the same as the block 12 shown in FIGS. The difference is that the positions of the through holes are provided at right angles to the surface of the block. Therefore, since adjacent surfaces contact each other in the adjacent block, no gap (space) is generated. If different colors are applied to the surface of the block and the blocks are arranged so as to draw a pattern, an aesthetic appearance different from those of the above embodiments can be produced.

FIG. 11 is a schematic explanatory diagram (conceptual diagram) showing still another embodiment of the present invention. A block assembly 96 shown in FIG. 11 is the same as the block assembly 96 except that a rectangular block 98 shown in FIG. Since the surface is spherical and the shape of the gap (space part) is also different from those of the above embodiments, a different aesthetic appearance is produced.

In each of the above embodiments, the block is made of wood, but it is also possible to use a material having moldability, for example, synthetic resin, rubber, metal or the like. Further, it is also possible to use a flexible linear material such as a thread, a nylon thread, a flexible wire or a wire instead of the string. Further, when it is not necessary to bend the block aggregate, for example, a rigid wire or the like can be used instead of a string or the like in a space provided outside the reach of the block.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and it goes without saying that various implementations can be made without changing the gist of the present invention.

  The block assembly of the present invention can be used as interior decorations such as joinery (shoulder shoji, bran, etc.), partitions, screens, folding screens, balustrades, chairs, etc. Can be suitably used. Further, if the structure of the embodiment excluding the frame is used as a unit and connected in the vertical and horizontal directions, there is expansion and a flexible block aggregate can be configured. That is, the first linear member that is folded back and stretched in each step in the horizontal direction for insertion into the block without providing a frame around the block aggregate is tied at each adjacent folding point. Etc., and the second linear material that is folded and stretched in each column in the vertical direction is tied with a string or the like at each adjacent folding point so that the shape of the block aggregate can be maintained. For example, a larger block assembly having flexibility can be configured. This has the advantage that, for example, if it is laid around a flower bed, it can also be used as a decoration and the footwear will not get dirty. Thus, it can be used suitably also as what is called an exterior used outdoors. Of course, the block aggregate can be used alone.
