Description

  The present invention relates to a novel incense product that can enhance the convenience of a user who uses powdered incense and can also encourage the purchase of such incense.

As one form of incense, what was conventionally made into the powder form is known. In ancient times, it was known that it was used to cleanse the body and soul, except for the injuries, by applying powdered incense to Buddha statues and practitioners' bodies. Such an operation is called “painting incense”, and the powdered incense used here is also called “painting incense”. Therefore, hereinafter, the powdery incense will be referred to as “painting incense” in the present specification.
The paint is made from natural fragrant wood and the like and finely powdered. The incense is used, for example, to pick a little with a finger, or to receive a little on a palm and imprint it on a part of the body to cleanse the mind and body.
In recent years, aromatherapy that enjoys aroma and relaxes has attracted attention. Recently, incense has become a secret boom among young people. Therefore, it is expected that the paint will be widely used in the future.

As described above, since the incense is in the form of powder, there has been a proposal for a container that can store powder and that can be easily taken out. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a coating container that includes a cylindrical body that stores coating and an outer member that slidably holds the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body and the outer member are provided with a narrow passage for incense that communicates with each other when the cylindrical body moves to a predetermined position of the outer member. Therefore, the user of this scent container only pushes the cylindrical body into a state where the passage is opened only when using the scent, and shakes the scent container to apply the scent from the passage opening of the outer member. Can be drawn out.
The cylindrical body is provided with a lid, and when the paint in the container becomes empty, the lid can be opened to replenish the paint. Thereby, according to the container of patent document 1, powdery incense can be carried easily.

Utility Model Registration No. 3139243

However, since the incense is in a very fine powder form, care must be taken when transferring it to a portable container. If attention is distracted, the scent may be spilled or scattered around the area, which may contaminate the surroundings. In such a case, the scent of the paint stagnation stays for a while at the time and place where the use of the paint scent is not intended. Therefore, the user who uses the container of Patent Document 1 needs to pay attention to the transfer of the incense, and must perform a troublesome work.
In addition, the incense is shaken out by shaking the container of Patent Document 1, but since the amount of the outflow cannot be adjusted, the operation of shaking is repeated many times when the amount to be put out is small. On the other hand, if too much is used, if it is used as it is, the odor will become too strong, and if a large amount is discarded, expensive paint will be wasted. Thus, conventionally, there is no consideration to the user about using paint incense simply and efficiently.
Furthermore, the paint scent is used only by a limited number of users, and the degree of recognition is still low. If it is possible to provide a situation where the user can enjoy painting incense, a kind of incense, it is possible to increase the number of users by widely knowing the painting. However, there was no consideration in this point in the past.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an incense product that uses paint incense in consideration of not only portability but also user convenience and economics, and to appeal to the user and encourage purchase. Is to provide incense products that can contribute.

The above object can be achieved by an incense product comprising a sheet-like base material and powdered incense applied on the sheet-like base material.
It is desirable that a binder is added to the incense.

Moreover, it is preferable to further include a cover member that covers the top surface of the incense.
And the said incense is good also as what is drawing the predetermined character and figure.
The sheet-like substrate can be formed of a material selected from the group consisting of a polyester film, a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, and a polycarbonate film.

Further, the above object is a method for producing an incense product containing powdered incense applied on a sheet-like base material using a stencil printing technique,
In order to apply a powdered incense to a predetermined region on the sheet-like substrate, using a stencil having an opening formed corresponding to the predetermined region,
It is also achieved by a method for manufacturing an incense product, comprising at least a printing step of filling the aperture with the incense raw material and printing the incense on the sheet-like substrate. .

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, not only portability but the user's convenience and economical efficiency and the incense product using a coating incense can be provided. It can be provided as a new card-type incense product that can appeal to the user and encourage purchase.

It is the figure shown in order to demonstrate the basic composition of the incense product which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is the figure shown in order to demonstrate the method to manufacture the incense product which concerns on this invention using a screen printing technique. It is the figure shown in order to demonstrate the method of manufacturing the incense product which concerns on this invention using a metal mask printing technique.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an incense product according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The incense product 1 includes a sheet-like base material 10 and a paint incense 20 that is a powdered incense held on the sheet-like base material. And the coating sheet 30 is further provided as a cover member so that the coating incense 20 on the sheet-like base material 10 may be covered.
More specifically, the sheet-like base material 10 illustrated here is rectangular (rectangular), and the cosmetic 20 is arranged in a predetermined area (rectangular area) smaller than this. And the covering sheet 30 of the shape substantially the same as the sheet-like base material 10 is arrange | positioned so that the whole upper surface may be covered.

  The coating aroma 20 is applied to the sheet-like substrate 10 by a printing operation by applying a printing technique as will be described later. Therefore, the coating material 20 on the sheet-like base material 10 becomes thin (for example, about 0.01 to 1.0 mm). The covering sheet 30 is arranged so as to protect it.

If the said sheet-like base material 10 can print a powdery incense raw material and can hold | maintain an incense stably after that, there will be no limitation in particular. Moreover, although it may be transparent or opaque, it is preferable to employ a resin film. Alternatively, a transparent resin film may be employed to make it opaque by printing on the back surface or attaching a paper mount.
The resin film for the sheet-like substrate 10 can be selected from a polyester film, a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, a polycarbonate film, and the like. The sheet-like substrate 10 is preferably a polyester film, and preferably has a thickness of 50 μm to 500 μm, for example.
In addition, although the same material as the sheet-like base material 10 can be adopted for the covering sheet 30, the thickness may be thinner than that of the sheet-like base material 10.

Since the coating incense 20 is a powdered incense, although it depends on the compatibility with the sheet-like base material 10, it may be inferior in adhesiveness and easily fall off (is easy to peel off). As a countermeasure for such a case, it is preferable to perform a ground treatment on the sheet-like base material 10 to increase the adhesive force. The base treatment can be a surface roughening treatment or an adhesive coating treatment for increasing the adhesive strength of the coating aroma 20 to the sheet-like substrate 10, and both treatments may be performed.
Examples of the roughening treatment for the sheet-like substrate 10 include sand blasting and embossing. Further, as the adhesive applied to the sheet-like substrate 10, a liquid swellable adhesive or a liquid soluble adhesive can be used. For example, incense such as acrylic resin, urethane resin, polyvinyl acetate, adhesives that swell to the solvent used when slurrying the incense powder, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, etc. An adhesive having solubility in the solvent used when the powder is made into a slurry can be preferably used.

  About the powdery incense raw material which comprises the said coating incense 20 arrange | positioned on the sheet-like base material 10, what was used conventionally is employable similarly. For example, it can be sandalwood, clove, cinnamon bark, daikankyo, benzoin, nuka. An incense raw material that can be printed in a slurry form by dissolving the incense raw material in a solvent such as water, lower alcohol such as ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, low boiling point hydrocarbon, low boiling point silicone oil, cyclic silicone, or a mixture thereof. prepare. As a binder to be added to the incense raw material, for example, an adhesive having a solubility in a solvent used when slurrying the incense powder, such as methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, normal paraffin, isoparaffin, It is preferable to add oils and waxes such as cycloparaffin, squalane, petrolatum and higher fatty acid esters. By adding the binder, it is possible to stably maintain the state of the paint 20 applied thinly on the sheet-like substrate 10.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the incense product 1 is a thin card-type incense product that has not existed in the past. Therefore, it can provide as an incense product (this product) suitable for carrying. And such a thin incense product can be suitably adopted as a sample for sales promotion. When the incense product 1 is designed as a sample, for example, an application amount of the incense 20 that is assumed to be used about 3 to 5 times is applied onto the sheet-like substrate 10.

When the user uses the incense product 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, a desired amount of the incense 20 is obtained by operating the upper surface of the incense 20 using a cosmetic puff, a brush, or the like. Can be scraped off and applied to a part of the body of the person. Moreover, you may have the sheet | seat base material 10 and apply | coat the coating incense 20 upper surface directly to a part of one's body.
At that time, the desired amount can be scraped off without using the hands. Therefore, the user is convenient and can use the paint 20 economically.

The card-type incense product 1 as described above can be manufactured as follows.
The incense product 1 according to the present invention can be efficiently manufactured by applying a stencil printing technique.
In the stencil printing technology, an aperture is provided in the plate itself, and a printing material (generally ink) is printed on a substrate (generally a sheet material such as paper) so as to pass through the aperture. The printed matter is obtained, and includes screen printing and metal mask printing.
Here, the screen printing is a printing technique using a screen provided with a mesh as a stencil. Printing is performed using an opening portion in which a mesh is opened.
Metal mask printing is a printing method using a metal mask as a stencil. The metal mask is a stencil in which an opening is provided on a flat metal plate.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a main configuration of the screen printing apparatus 100 used for manufacturing the incense product 1. In FIG. 2, the sheet-like substrate 10 is set at a predetermined position on the base plate 101 of the printing apparatus 100.

Above the sheet-like substrate 10 on the base plate 101, a screen 110 having a mesh 111 is disposed with a predetermined gap SP (gap) from the sheet-like substrate 10. In the screen printing, the screen 110 is bent with a squeegee, which will be described later, and the printing is executed. Therefore, a gap SP is secured. The screen 110 serving as a plate has a structure in which a sheet-like mesh 111 having predetermined meshes is stretched around a frame portion (frame) 112. Unnecessary regions of the mesh are blocked (clogged) with the emulsion, and printing is performed using the apertures where the mesh is open.
In FIG. 2, the sealing part 111a and the opening part 111b of the mesh 111 are shown. The incense 20 is printed through the opening 111b.
Therefore, although it is a rectangle (rectangle) in the case shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the opening 111b can be, for example, a figure such as a circle, an ellipse, a crescent, or a heart, or a character. Thereby, a product can be designed so that the coating incense 20 on the sheet-like base material 10 may draw (express) a predetermined figure or character.
Further, when the screen 110 provided with the sealing portion 111a is also used on the inner side of the mesh 111b, the portion where the sealing portion 111a exists is a white portion (a space portion) where the coating 20 is not applied on the sheet-like base material 10. ). Therefore, when such a method is used, it is also possible to design a product in which the incense 20 on the sheet-like substrate 10 has a white figure or character.

  The frame portion 112 of the screen 110 is preferably made of a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, and the mesh 110 can be made of a yarn made of synthetic resin or stainless steel, for example.

In the screen printing shown in FIG. 2, the incense raw material GM is uniformly filled on the screen 110 with a doctor blade 121 moving from one end side (right end side in FIG. 2) to the other end side (left end side in FIG. 2). To do. When the doctor blade 121 reaches the left end, the doctor blade 121 is lifted up and separated from the screen 110, and conversely, the squeegee 122 is lifted down and pressed against the screen 110. The doctor blade 121 and the squeegee 122 are configured as a blade / squeegee device 120, and the switching operation described above is performed by a lifting mechanism (not shown).
The doctor blade 121 is preferably made of metal such as stainless steel, and the distance from the surface of the mesh 11 is, for example, 0 to 3 mm.
The squeegee 122 is preferably made of an elastic material such as natural rubber or urethane rubber at least in contact with the screen 110. The squeegee 122 is preferably set at an inclination angle of 45 to 90 degrees with respect to the surface of the screen 110, for example.

  After the squeegee 122 comes into contact with the screen 110, the mesh 111 is rubbed while being pressed and moved from the left end side to the right end side. At this time, the squeegee 122 moves while appropriately bending the mesh 111, the incense raw material GM is filled in the opening 111b, and thereby the incense 20 applied thinly on the sheet-like substrate 10 is printed. .

  After the printing step, a coating 20 having a predetermined shape (for example, a rectangular shape in FIG. 1) is printed (applied) at a predetermined position on the sheet-like substrate 10. Thereafter, if necessary, it is preferable to carry out a drying (heat treatment) step in order to remove the solvent or adjust the cured state. And finally, the covering sheet 30 which covers and protects the upper surface is provided, and the manufacture of the incense product 1 is completed.

  As described above, when the screen printing technique is used, a plurality of card-shaped incense products 1 can be manufactured at the same time by providing a plurality of openings of a predetermined shape in the screen plate in the same manner. It is also excellent in that it can be manufactured.

Furthermore, you may manufacture the incense product 1 as follows using a metal mask printing technique.
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating the main configuration of the metal mask printing apparatus 200 used for manufacturing the incense product 1. In FIG. 3, the sheet-like substrate 10 is set at a predetermined position on the base plate 202 of the printing apparatus 200.

A metal mask 210 is closely set on the sheet-like substrate 10. Here, the close contact is intended to dispose the base material and the metal mask at such a distance that the plate (metal mask 210) does not bend substantially even when the squeegee is pressed. 10 and the metal mask 210 are preferably set to, for example, 0 mm to 2 mm. The metal mask 210 is a stencil employed in place of the screen 110 in the screen printing apparatus 100 described above. The metal mask 210 is a thin metal plate formed of a metal such as stainless steel. The thickness of the metal plate is preferably 0.05 mm to 5 mm, for example.
The metal mask 210 is formed with an opening 211 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the applied scent 20 (for example, the rectangular shape in FIG. 1). Therefore, the incense material 20 is printed (applied) at a predetermined position on the sheet-like base material 10 by filling (supplying) the incense raw material prepared in advance into the opening 211 provided in the metal mask 210. Can do. The shape of the opening portion 211 may be rectangular as shown in FIG. 1 corresponding to the shape of the paint 20, or other shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, a crescent shape, a heart shape, or a desired character (for example, “Mind” and “Mind” can also be set. Therefore, if such an opening is provided, a desired figure or character can be drawn by the printed coating incense 20.

In the case of the metal mask 210, it is a simple printing form in which an incense raw material is filled in the opening portion 211. The thickness of the metal mask 210, the shape and the area (size) of the aperture 211 can be changed as appropriate. In that case, the quantity filled with the incense raw material can be adjusted. Increasing the thickness of the metal mask 40 can increase the amount of coating and produce an incense product having a relatively thick incense 20.
In addition, it is preferable to use the metal plate formed with metals, such as stainless steel, for the squeegee used for metal mask printing. The thickness of the squeegee is preferably 0.05 mm to 3 mm, for example.

  In FIG. 3, squeegees 221 and 222 in which a pair of left and right sides are symmetrically arranged are shown as examples. In FIG. 2, the direction from left to right is the forward path, and the direction from right to left is the backward path. The squeegee 221 is for the forward path and the squeegee 222 is for the backward path. These squeegees 221 and 222 are held by the squeegee moving device 220 and can move in the left-right direction CD, and one of the squeegees is lowered toward the metal mask 210 by an elevating mechanism (not shown) for printing operation. used.

The state shown in FIG. 3 shows a state immediately before the incense raw material GM placed on the left end of the metal mask 210 is moved to the left outward squeegee 221 to perform the printing process.
The squeegees 221 and 222 are metal plate-like members made of stainless steel or the like, and are preferably set at an inclination angle of 45 to 120 degrees with respect to the surface of the metal mask 40, for example.
For printing, the distance (gap) between the lower ends of the squeegees 221 and 22 and the surface of the metal mask 40 when lowered is preferably about 0 to 3 mm.

When the forward squeegee 221 is moved rightward from the state shown in FIG. 3, the incense raw material GM is filled in the opening 211 of the metal mask 210 as the squeegee 221 moves. Since the sheet-like base material 10 is set in close contact with the metal mask 210, a predetermined shape of the incense 20 corresponding to the shape of the aperture 211 is placed at a predetermined position of the sheet-like base material 10. Printed.
When the forward squeegee 221 reaches the right stop position, it switches to the return squeegee 222. When the return squeegee 222 is moved to the left, the incense raw material GM is further filled into the opening 211 of the metal mask 210 as the squeegee 222 moves. By the printing process in the return path, the inside of the opening 211 is more reliably filled with the incense raw material GM, so that reliable printing can be realized.

  When the metal mask 210 is separated from the sheet-like substrate 10 after the printing step, the incense 20 having a predetermined shape (for example, a rectangle in the case of the incense product 1 in FIG. 1) is placed at a predetermined position on the sheet-like substrate 10. Is formed (printed).

The incense product of the present invention described above is based on a new viewpoint that a powdered incense is generally solidified and used. The incense applied on the thin sheet-like substrate is in a fixed state, so that it is easy to use and can be used without waste because it can be scraped off while checking the required amount.
And this invention incense product used as a thin card type is suitable as a free sample for having a user try a painting incense. Thereby, it can appeal to a user and purchase can be aimed at and increase of a user can be aimed at. Further, as described above, if the incense product of the present invention is manufactured by diverting the printing technique, it can be manufactured at a low cost, so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Although the description of the embodiment has been completed above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
