Furthermore, a plurality of section members which separate from the core member sheet are stuck to give the core member of the three-dimensional shape of the felt doll, the small lump piece of a wool fiber is made to penetrate the core member by a work needle while winding the small lump piece of the wool fiber round the surface of the core member, this work is repeated to make the wool fiber felt-like for adhering to the core member surface, and thereby the outer cover of the core member is covered with a felt to manufacture the felt doll.

Description

  The present invention relates to a felt doll, in particular, a felt doll formed by attaching wool fibers to a core material such as a sponge while forming a felt, a working core material sheet made of felt doll, and a method for manufacturing the felt doll.

  In the field of handicrafts, felt handicrafts that make animals, plants, people and other dolls with felt materials are loved. For felt handicrafts, in addition to the so-called stuffed garments that are sewed together with felt fabric, wool felt, that is, a woolen lump that is made of wool is pasted on the core, or the wool itself is hardened to a high density. There is something to make while making it felt.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an animal mascot produced by using a foamed polystyrene resin molded body as a core material, and attaching a member made of felt fabric or a spiral small piece of wool with an adhesive to the core material. A device for toys is disclosed. However, such a device is merely a member in which a member is attached to a core material with an adhesive or the like, and although a work can be easily produced, it is not interesting as a handicraft. In addition, the wool felt on the surface of the work has a low density because it only has a spiral piece, and it is suitable for modeling sheep like the examples, but it is suitable for other animals, plants, dolls such as human figures. It was not necessarily suitable for modeling.

  On the other hand, as a technique of shaping the felt itself by compacting the wool itself to a high density, the so-called sliver type is made of wool in a state where fibers are aligned in a certain direction and bundled in a special working needle (felting A method of making a felt into a desired shape by piercing with a needle) is known. Since a needle is used, it is generally called “needle felt” or “felt needle work”. (Hereinafter, this method is referred to as “needle felt”.)

  FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a basic technique of needle felt, and shows a process of felting a wool mass. That is, a dedicated working needle V is stabbed into a wool lump W that has been rolled up with an appropriate amount in advance (a), and the working needle V is repeatedly moved back and forth within the wool lump W. Since a plurality of fine barbs Y are provided on the surface of the working needle V, the wool fibers are entangled with the barb Y in the wool lump W, and the wool fibers are intertwined in a complicated manner by repeated movement of the working needle V. (B) By repeating this operation uniformly and uniformly from various directions with respect to the wool mass W, the density of the wool fibers gradually increases, and the wool mass W condenses and becomes felt (C). When making a doll-like shape, add wool fibers to the wool lumps W and arrange them into a desired shape, or join a plurality of felted wool lumps W by the above-mentioned work. A technique is used. In addition, as for the wool and the working needle used for the needle felt, dedicated ones are commercially available in handicraft stores.

According to such needle felt, the surface of the work is made of felt with a high density of wool, making it possible to create a wide range of shapes while taking advantage of the soft texture of the wool. In addition, the level of handicraft is also high.

However, when only the wool is hardened and felted, a large amount of wool is required for the size of the finished product, and advanced technology and skill are required to stably form delicate shapes. Therefore, the shape of the work is also limited. For this reason, due to the relationship between material costs, labor, production time, and the skill of the producer, there is a limitation that generally produced works are limited to relatively small and less complicated shapes.

In order to save the amount of wool used and to form a stable shape relatively easily against such restrictions, a core material having a rough shape such as a doll to be shaped is used, and wool is applied to the surface of the core. There is known a technique for forming a felted outer skin by repeatedly penetrating in a. In that case, as shown in Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2, a lump of cotton other than wool, foamed rubber, polyurethane sponge, foamed polystyrene, etc. are generally used as the core material.

  As the material of the core material, it has both the softness that the work needle can easily penetrate and the holding force that keeps the wool fibers inserted by the work needle from easily pulling out, and various three-dimensional modeling as the core material. A highly plastic material that can be freely formed is desirable. However, the lump of cotton is not only difficult to form a three-dimensional model as a core material, but also when the working needle is removed, the cotton fibers themselves may be dragged out of the core material and exposed. In addition, the foamed rubber has too much friction with the work needle and is difficult to pierce, increasing the work load. Polyurethane sponges, polystyrene foam, etc., on the other hand, have high plasticity and are suitable as a core material for three-dimensional modeling. However, these foamed materials penetrate into each other because the internal bubbles form individual independent bubbles and the material is highly elastic. "Stickness" is produced on the work needle. For this reason, there is a problem that not only the burden of work is large, but also the holding power of the wool fibers when the work needle is removed is insufficient.

  In addition, when molding foam rubber, polyurethane sponge, polystyrene foam, etc. into a three-dimensional model, foam injection molding using a mold is generally used, but the molten raw material is injected into the mold and contacts the inner surface of the mold. During the cooling process, a high-density coating (so-called “skin”) is always formed on the surface of the core material. Such a skin is highly elastic and increases the frictional resistance against the working needle, which increases the work load and the difficulty.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a complex three-dimensional felt doll that can be easily manufactured even by a beginner using a relatively small amount of wool, and a method for manufacturing the same. The purpose is to expand the possibility of felt handicrafts using the needle felt technique by providing the design felt doll core material at low cost, and to further spread it.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a felt doll by a needle felt technique, wherein a foam sponge of thermosetting resin is used as a core material, and a small piece of wool fibers is formed on the surface of the core material. It is characterized in that it is made to penetrate the inside of the core material with a work needle while being wound and is attached in a felt shape.

The thermosetting resin used as the material for the foam sponge of the core material is a resin that undergoes polymerization to form a polymer network structure when heated, and cannot be restored to its original state by curing. A typical example is a melamine resin. Are known. In the case of a foamed sponge formed from such a thermosetting resin, the bubbles are irregularly connected to each other, and since the elasticity of the formed bubble coating is low, compared to sponges made of rubber, polyurethane, or styrene. It exhibits “brittle” properties. For this reason, when subjected to pressure or frictional force, the film of bubbles is easily broken to generate fragments, and new irregularities are always formed on the surface. The melamine resin sponge is frequently used as a cleaning sponge because it has such characteristics and entangles the contact surface while wearing the surface like an eraser.

If this foamed sponge of thermosetting resin is used as the core material for needle felt, the friction between the needle and the sponge when penetrating the work needle is small, so it can be easily penetrated and the work load can be reduced. However, the bubble coating is destroyed by penetrating the working needle, and the inserted wool fibers are held by being entangled with the fragments of the coating, and are not easily pulled out.

Further, as described above, since the foamed sponge of thermosetting resin is poor in elasticity, when the work needle is repeatedly pierced into a specific part of the surface of the core material, the part gradually becomes concave and deformed. For this reason, it is possible to apply a desired shape to the core material within a certain range by using the working needle, and there is also an effect that the felt doll can be changed and a subtle expression can be given by the creativity of the creator.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 is the felt doll according to claim 1, wherein the core material is formed by punching a foam sponge of a plate-like thermosetting resin into a plurality of cross-sectional shapes of the doll. It is characterized by being formed by bonding members together to form a three-dimensional shape of a doll.

As described above, when forming a three-dimensional felt doll core with a foamed sponge, foam injection molding using a mold is generally used. There was a limitation in providing a core material for felt dolls with different designs. In addition, since a high-density skin is always formed on the surface of the completed core material, there is a problem that resistance is generated when the working needle penetrates and workability is lowered.

Here, the desired three-dimensional shape of the doll is divided into a plurality of cross-sections, and the foamed sponge of a plate-like thermosetting resin is punched into a shape for each cross-section with, for example, a Thomson blade, and then separated into pieces. If the members are bonded together in a predetermined order, an approximate three-dimensional shape can be formed without using foam injection molding with a mold. This not only eliminates the need for expensive molds, but also does not cause skin on the surface of the finished core material, making it possible to manufacture a large number of core materials with a wide variety of designs at a very low cost. In addition, the workability of the needle felt can be improved.

Next, the invention according to claim 3 is a core material sheet used for manufacturing the felt doll according to claim 2, wherein a plurality of cross-sectional shapes of the doll are punched into a foam sponge of a plate-like thermosetting resin. It is characterized by being separable as a member that forms the three-dimensional shape of the doll.

In the case where the core material of the three-dimensional felt doll is formed by the foamed sponge of the plate-like thermosetting resin according to claim 2, in the distribution and sales process, after punching a plurality of cross-sectional shapes of the doll, individual members If the sheet is provided as a sheet without being separated and bonded, it is convenient not only for easy handling as a product but also for preventing loss of members. In addition, the end material after separating the members is an accessory that the creator wants to use as a base for needle felt work, i.e., an underlay, or cut with a cutter knife as appropriate, and the creator wants to add to the felt doll arbitrarily Since it can also be used as a core material for attachments, there is an advantage that it can be effectively used without waste.

Next, the invention according to claim 4 is a method for manufacturing a felt doll, wherein a foamed sponge of thermosetting resin is used as a core material, and a work piece is wound while a small piece of wool fiber is wound around the surface of the core material. It is characterized in that it is penetrated into the core material and deposited in a felt shape.

As described above, a general method for making a felt doll using needle felt is to make a felt by repeatedly piercing a small lump of wool fibers previously rolled with fingers with a working needle, and then adding wool fibers sequentially. While making the felt mass larger and shaping it into a doll shape, making each part of the doll with the felt mass and then joining them together to assemble the doll, cotton mass other than wool, foam rubber, A method has been used in which wool fiber is penetrated with a work needle on the surface of polyurethane sponge, polystyrene foam or the like as a core material, and is adhered.

According to the method for manufacturing a felt doll according to claim 4, since the general shape of the felt doll is determined by the core material, it is possible to easily manufacture a felt doll having a stable shape with a smaller amount of wool fibers. it can. In addition, since a foamed sponge of thermosetting resin is used as the core material, the working efficiency of the needle felt is increased, and more various and delicate modeling is possible.

Next, the invention according to claim 5 is a method for manufacturing a felt doll, which is formed by bonding members formed by punching a foam sponge of a plate-like thermosetting resin into a plurality of cross-sectional shapes of the doll. A three-dimensional shape of the doll is used as a core material, and a small lump of wool fibers is wound around the surface of the core material, and the core material is penetrated into the core material by a work needle and is attached in a felt shape.

According to the present invention, since the core material used when producing a three-dimensional felt doll can be used regardless of the foam injection molding that requires an expensive mold, a wide variety of three-dimensional modeling can be selected as a subject, Moreover, since the workability of the needle felt is improved, even a beginner can manufacture a complicated three-dimensional felt doll relatively easily.

  According to the felt doll and the method for producing the felt doll according to the present invention, a needle felt technique can be used to make a high-quality and delicate felt doll easily and less likely to fail, even for beginners regardless of planar or solid shapes. Can be produced. In addition, relatively large works and complex shaped works can be produced with a smaller amount of wool than before, so even skilled workers can work on creating more advanced works without worrying about cost constraints. .

  Furthermore, according to the felt doll-made core material sheet according to the present invention, since a variety of shaped core materials can be provided at a low cost, the choice of the manufacturer is expanded, and the possibility of felt handicraft by the needle felt technique is increased. It has the effect of expanding and promoting further spread.

  Below, the felt doll production | generation core material sheet | seat which concerns on this invention, and the manufacturing method of a felt doll using the same are demonstrated in detail based on FIG. 2 thru | or FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view and a perspective view of a three-dimensional felt doll working core sheet according to the present invention. In this embodiment, an imaginary quadruped walking animal is used as the subject of a felt doll. However, the subject can be any inanimate object such as an animal, a plant, a person, and food and accessories.

  The core material sheet S is a plate-like foamed sponge made of a thermosetting resin typified by melamine resin. As for the size, the felt doll to be manufactured can be divided into a suitable number of cross sections according to the shape, and all the cross sections can be arranged on one plane. The thickness is arbitrary depending on the three-dimensional shape of the felt doll, and is preferably about 5 mm to 1 cm. However, the larger the thickness of one member, the larger the step between adjacent members to be bonded, and the completion. Since the unevenness of the surface of the core material Z becomes rough, it is preferable to reduce the thickness of the sheet in order to manufacture a complicated and delicate three-dimensional core material Z.

  The core material sheet S is punched by dividing the three-dimensional shape of the coupling member A and the felt doll into cross-sectional members B to F with a Thomson blade, but each member is not separated and remains fitted in the core material sheet S. is there. Further, when the cross-sectional members B to F are bonded and assembled, the coupling member A is passed through the through holes G provided in the respective cross-sectional members, and all the cross-sectional members are held and coupled.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a structure for joining the joining member A and the sectional members B to F separated from the core sheet S, and FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional felt doll made by bonding all the sectional members. It is the perspective view in the state where the core material Z for completion was completed, and sectional drawing of the core material on XX. 2 to 4, since the coupling member A is penetrated through the cross-sectional members B to F and bonded, it is not necessary to further bond the cross-sectional members to each other, but the cross-sectional members B to F are penetrated as shown in FIG. 5. The cross-sectional members may be bonded to each other with the adhesive H without providing the hole G.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the wool W that is applied to the completed three-dimensional felt doll working core material Z to be felted. As the wool W, the above-described sliver type, which is a bundle of fibers aligned in a certain direction and bundled, is used in order to adhere to the core material Z by the needle felt technique. Use the appropriate amount.

  7 to 13 are a perspective view and a sectional view for sequentially explaining the manufacturing process of the three-dimensional felt doll according to the present invention. FIG. 7 shows an initial step of attaching the wool W to the finished three-dimensional felt doll working core material Z, and inserting the core material Z by piercing it with the work needle V after placing an appropriate amount of the wool W on the core material Z.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a state where the wool W is inserted into the core material Z by the working needle V, and a cross-sectional view of the core material Z in operation. Since the work needle V is provided with a barb, the wool W entangled with the barb is inserted into the core material Z by the penetration of the work needle V. Since the core material Z is a foamed sponge having open cells of thermosetting resin, the bubble coating is broken inside the core material Z by the penetration of the working needle V. Therefore, the inserted wool W and fragments of the bubble coating are entangled, and even when the working needle V is removed, the wool W remains inside the core material Z, and as a result, the wool W is implanted in the core material Z. It becomes a form.
While this operation is repeated, the fibers of the wool W are intricately entangled even on the surface of the core material Z, and the wool W gradually forms a high-density felt skin and is applied to the surface of the core material Z. It is. This work may be started from any part of the core material Z, but first, there is a method in which the work is performed on the cross-sectional member D on the central axis of the three-dimensional felt doll, and then the cross-sectional member C or E is sequentially moved Is preferred.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing a process at a stage where the work of attaching the wool W onto the cross-sectional member on the central axis of the three-dimensional felt doll is completed and the operation is subsequently transferred to the adjacent cross-sectional member E. . Basically, the above-described deposition operation is repeated. As shown in the sectional view, not only the wool W is planted on the sectional member E by the working needle V, but also the inside of the adjacent sectional member D is skewered. Then, the working needle V is inserted. Thereby, since the inserted wool W fastens the cross-section members D and E, both cross-section members are combined integrally.

  FIG. 10 is a perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing a state where all the cross-section members have been applied, that is, the wool W has been applied over the outer periphery of the thickness portion of the core sheet S. Cross-section members B to F are covered with felted wool W on the entire circumference of the thick portion, and adjacent cross-section members are joined by wool W penetrating inside.

  FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a process of winding wool W around the outer periphery of the core material Z in a direction perpendicular to the axis line. This is a pre-process of a work in which wool W is applied to a portion where the surface of the cross-sectional member is exposed, and the entire outer surface of the core material Z is covered with the wool W felted without gaps.

  FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a process of forming the outer skin of the three-dimensional felt doll by making the wool W wound around the entire outer surface of the core material Z into a felt while being inserted into the core material Z by the working needle V; It is sectional drawing. In this step, the outer skin is finished into a smooth curved surface while filling the step formed between adjacent cross-sectional members. At this time, the working corner V is intensively and repeatedly penetrated into the cross-section corner of the cross-section member, so that the cross-section corner is compressed due to the “brittleness” of the cross-section member made of a foamed sponge of thermosetting resin. The step on the surface of the core Z itself is reduced, and the outer surface of the three-dimensional felt doll changes to a smooth curved surface in combination with the thickness of the wool W that has been felted and deposited. Also, by adjusting the penetration of the work needle V, it is possible to provide irregularities to some extent on the outer surface, so it is possible to give subtle modeling to a three-dimensional felt doll or add a lively expression Is possible.

  FIG. 13 is a perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing a state in which all the processes are completed and a three-dimensional felt doll is completed. Although the core material Z formed by assembling the core material sheet S is single, the three-dimensional felt doll has a subtle change by appropriately adjusting the amount of insertion of the work needle V by the needle felt technique as described above. In addition, by selecting the wool W of any color and texture, the creator can create original works with rich individuality one by one.

  According to the present invention, in the creation of a felt doll by the needle felt technique, in particular, the creation of a three-dimensional felt doll, even a beginner can easily and less likely to fail, and can produce an advanced work at a relatively low cost. It is also possible for a person to demonstrate a higher degree of creativity.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to provide a wide variety of core materials that can greatly facilitate the production of three-dimensional felt dolls, the possibility of felt handicrafts using the needle felt technique has been greatly expanded. It can contribute to the revitalization of handicraft culture.
