Description

  The present invention relates to a wooden tag used as, for example, a shrine tag, a prayer tag, or the like.

  Originally, wooden tags are obtained by sawing wood into planks, but it is becoming difficult to secure high-quality materials from the viewpoint of deforestation and environmental conservation.

  For this reason, a wooden tag that does not use a sawn board has been conventionally proposed (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5 described below).

  The wood tags in Patent Documents 1 to 3 constitute a core material of a wood tag by laminating a plurality of paperboards. In Patent Document 4, recycled paper is compression-fixed, and in Patent Document 5, the chip material is solidified. Thus, the core material is formed. In order to express the woodiness on the surface of the core material, in Patent Literatures 2 to 5, it is possible to attach paper printed with a grain pattern on the front and back surfaces of the core material. Printing is disclosed.

  However, with these configurations, a wooden board cannot be obtained.

  If the core is made of paperboard, the paperboard is in a laminated state, so if the entire outer surface looks like a wooden board, the appearance of a board can be obtained, but it is lighter because it is paper In addition, paper scraps are exposed on the end faces and a layer of paperboard is visible. In addition, there is no strength. For example, when a long wooden tag such as a tower is used, it is particularly easy to break.

  When the core material is formed by compression-bonding of recycled paper, although it does not have a layered structure, it has the same structure as thick paperboard, and the exposed end face that has no strength like a wooden board is unsightly. This is the same as the case where the paperboard is bonded.

  When the core material is made of solidified chip material, it is a chip material, that is, a small piece is solidified. Not only is there no strength, but the exposed end face cannot be cleaned without additional processing.

  With respect to the front and back surfaces of the wooden tag, in a configuration in which the paper on which the grain pattern is printed is bonded to the core, as in the case of the core formed by bonding the paperboard, moisture is easily absorbed and peeling is likely to occur. Further, since it is difficult to absorb the irregularities even when the paper is bonded, if the front and back surfaces of the core material are not smooth, a smooth surface cannot be obtained.

  In a configuration in which a wood grain pattern is printed on a core material made of paperboard, since the color of the paperboard affects printing, it is difficult to obtain beautiful colors and patterns that closely resemble the wood skin. Moreover, if there is any irregularity or roughness on the surface of the paperboard, it will appear as it is, so that a smooth surface such as a wooden wooden tag made of a sawn board cannot be obtained.

  Also, wooden wooden tags vary in size and quality in the first place. In addition, deformation, cracking, and the like that swell, warp, and become thinner due to aging change occur. For this reason, when processing such as putting a wrapping paper on a wooden tag or attaching a mizuhiki, it is necessary to respond individually and flexibly, and a uniform operation cannot be completed. That is, it was not easy to perform the processing quickly without any defect.

  In this regard, since the wooden tags of Patent Documents 1 to 5 are not made of wood, it seems that such a problem does not occur. However, a wooden tag having a core made of paper, in particular, does not have the strength of a wooden tag, and thus is easily deformed or chipped due to crushed edges or corners. For this reason, processing difficulties still exist in the wooden tags of Patent Documents 1 to 5.

Registered utility model No. 3107129 JP-A-3-254710 Registered utility model No. 3163313 Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-101680 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-31576

  A main object of the present invention is not only to make the appearance but also to make it look very similar to a wooden wooden tag, and to make it easy to perform processing such as installation of a water pull.

  Means for that is a wooden tag that is displayed on at least the surface of the plate-shaped base material, wherein the base material comprises a core material made of wood pulp, and a coating layer formed on at least the surface of the core material. A wooden tag in which a printed layer of a grain pattern on which the display is made is formed on the coating layer.

  In this configuration, the display is separately provided on the print layer, and is displayed together with the grain pattern when the print layer is formed. A core material made of wood pulp is not a sawn board, but has the texture and weight of wood, has high form stability and strength, and has an end surface appearing on the outer periphery, which looks like wood. The coating layer covers the core material with high integrity, absorbs at least the surface irregularities of the coated core material, and smoothes the core material, so that the printed layer can be formed beautifully.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the imitation wooden tag which looks very similar to a wooden wooden tag can be obtained even if it looks and feels like holding it. In addition, the core material is formed by compressing wood pulp into a plate shape, and an integrated coating layer is formed on the surface, so the same as a wooden plate including edges and corners Has strength. For this reason, unlike wood, it is possible to eliminate variations in size and quality and suppress deformation and the like due to changes over time, so that processing such as attaching a water draw can be performed uniformly and processing is easy.

Front view of a wooden tag. The front view of the wooden tag attached with Mizuhiki etc. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of an AA cutting section in FIG. 1. Explanatory drawing which shows a manufacturing process. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a printing direction of a printing layer.

  One embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a front view of the wooden tag 11. The wooden tag 11 is provided with a display 13 necessary for the wooden tag 11 on at least the surface of the plate-shaped base material 12. In the illustrated wooden tag 11, the wooden tag 11 is formed in a vertically long and substantially rectangular shape. "And a mark 13b indicating the source.

  The base material 12 is not obtained by sawing wood, but the feel and weight are the same as those of a wooden tag made of existing wood. Is formed. The print layer 14 has a color of wood and a grain pattern 14a so as to have the appearance of a wooden tag. The display 13 described above, that is, the characters 13a and the marks 13b are also present on the print layer 14 together with the color and grain pattern 14a of the tree.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the wooden tag 11 as a product. In other words, as an example, the wooden tag 11 shown in FIG. 1 is partially covered with a red and white wrapping paper 15 and a red and white mizuhiki 16 is attached from above the wrapping paper 15.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the base material 12 of the wooden tag 11 includes a core 21 made of wood pulp and a coating layer 22 formed on at least the surface of the core 21, in the illustrated example, on both sides. ing. FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of a cross section taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 and shows a state cut along the grain direction of the grain pattern 14a having a positive appearance. The thickness of the base material 12 is appropriately set according to a desired wooden tag 11, for example, 8 mm.

  The core 21 is composed of a mechanical pulp layer 21a and chemical pulp layers 21b on both front and back sides of the mechanical pulp layer 21a. Both the mechanical pulp layer 21a and the chemical pulp layer 21b are formed using 100% virgin pulp made directly from wood. Light wood pulp is used for the mechanical pulp layer 21a, and bleached or unbleached chemical pulp is used for the chemical pulp layer 21b.

  The core material 21 is formed into a plate shape by compressing a raw material obtained by combining wood pulp and water while dewatering. At this time, the directions of the entangled wood pulp are aligned, and the flow direction of the wood pulp, in other words, the eyes of the core 21 or the extending direction of the wood pulp are constant. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the solid wavy lines schematically represent the wood pulp.

  The coating layer 22 is for modifying the properties of the surface of the core material 21 to obtain desired appearance, touch, mechanical properties, printability, and the like. Material is selected and applied.

  In this example, the coating layer 22 is formed by pigment coating. Specifically, the coating layer 22 is composed of two layers, and each coating material is composed of a pigment and a binder. For the lower layer 22a in contact with the core material 21, a coating material having a cream color is used, and for the surface layer 22b exposed on the surface, a coating material having a white color is used. The lower layer 22a absorbs the irregularities of the core material 21 and becomes integral with the core material 21 and conceals or makes the color of the core material 21 inconspicuous. The surface layer 22b is integrated with the lower layer 22a to smooth the surface and eliminate the influence on the printing when the print layer 14 is formed.

  As described above, the printing layer 14 has the color of wood and the grain pattern 14a, and the characters 13a and the marks 13b, which are printed simultaneously or multiple times on the coating layer 22 on the surface of the substrate 12. It is formed by dividing and overlapping. For printing, an appropriate printing machine such as a UV inkjet printer is used in accordance with the properties of the coating layer 22.

  The grain direction (see FIG. 1) of the grain pattern 14a in the printed layer 14 is set to be the same as the direction of flow of the wood pulp on the substrate 12 (see FIG. 3).

  The printing layer 14 may be formed not only on the coating layer 22 on the front surface of the substrate 12 but also on the coating layer 22 on the back surface, and the content of the printing may be determined as appropriate, including the presence or absence of the grain pattern 14a.

  The wooden tag 11 having the above-described configuration is prepared by preparing the above-described base material 12 and forming a print layer 14 of the wood pattern 14a on the coating layer 22; It is manufactured by sequentially performing a cutting step of cutting into a shape.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the method of manufacturing a wooden tag includes preparing a base material 12 that is larger than a desired size of the wooden tag 11 and has white front and back surfaces ((a) in FIG. 4), and then the surface of the base material 12 The printing layer 14 is formed using an appropriate printing machine (FIG. 4B).

  The print layer 14 represents the surface image of one wooden tag 11 including the color of the wood, the grain pattern 14a, the character 13a, and the mark 13b, and a plurality of print layers 14 are provided. That is, a plurality of wooden tags 11 are printed in the printing process. The color of the tree and the grain pattern 14 a are expressed over the entire surface image of the wooden tag 11. The contents and outer shapes of the plurality of surface images may be the same or different. Further, the size of the surface image may be the same or different. In any case, the printed layer 14 may be arranged with a high yield. When a printing layer is also required on the back surface of the base material 12, printing is performed on the back surface. At this time, care is taken so that the print layer formed on the back surface corresponds to the print layer 14 on the front surface.

  In forming the printing layer 14, the printing direction of the grain pattern 14a is set as shown in FIG. That is, the grain direction of the wood pattern 14a formed in the printing layer 14 in the printing step may be the same as the flow direction of the wood pulp of the base material 12.

  In FIG. 5, a broken line represented by a solid line indicates wood pulp, and the direction in which the broken line extends is the flow direction of the wood pulp. FIG. 5A is a cross-section where pulp is flowing parallel to the short side when obtaining a base material 12 of a predetermined size, and FIG. This is a longitudinal flow in which pulp flows in parallel with the long side of the twelve.

  That is, when the shape of the wooden tag 11 is a vertically long shape as shown in FIG. 1, the horizontal direction of the wood pulp of the substrate 12 is the same as that of the wood pulp of the base material 12 in the wood pattern 14 a of the printed layer 14. In the case of (1), a plurality of printing layers 14 are formed by arranging the wooden tag 11 in the vertical direction in parallel with the short side of the base material 12 ((a) of FIG. 5). On the other hand, in the case of vertical eyes, a plurality of print layers 14 are formed by arranging the wooden tags 11 in the vertical direction in parallel with the long sides of the base material 12 (FIG. 5B).

  Conversely, when the wooden tag 11 has a horizontally long shape like a general ema, when the eyes are horizontal, a plurality of printed layers 14 are formed by arranging the wooden tags 11 in the horizontal direction in parallel with the short side of the base material 12. At the time of eyes, a plurality of printing layers 14 are formed by arranging the wooden tags 11 in the horizontal direction in parallel with the long sides of the base material 12.

  After the printing step, as shown in FIG. 4C, the portion having the printing layer 14 is cut out in the shape of the wooden tag 11 over the entire thickness direction, that is, along the outer shape of the surface image described above. For this cutting, an appropriate cutting machine is used. Since the base material 12 is made of wood pulp and also made of virgin pulp, the cut surface formed in the cutting step is as beautiful as a sawn wooden board, and no processing is required on the cut surface.

  If necessary, a wrapping paper 15 and a water drawer 16 are attached to the obtained wooden tag 11 after the cutting process (see FIG. 2). The wooden tag 11 is cut into a predetermined shape, and the woodgrain pattern 14a and the like are formed uniformly by printing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent variations in size and appearance and occurrence of defects. In addition, since it is made of wood pulp and has the same strength as a wooden board, it is possible to prevent the corners from being crushed or broken. For this reason, the work of wrapping with the wrapping paper 15 and attaching the water drawer 16 can be performed uniformly, processing is easy, accuracy is high, and occurrence of defects is suppressed.

  In the wooden tag 11 manufactured as described above, the base material 12 is composed of the core material 21 and the coating layer 22, and the core material 21 is composed of the wood pulp having the same directionality. An imitation wooden tag 11 whose strength and strength are very similar to a wooden wooden tag can be obtained. In addition, since the printed layer 14 of the woodgrain pattern 14a is formed on the coating layer 22 which is integral with the core material 21 and has a smooth surface, the wood tag 11 has a tactile feel and an appearance very similar to a wooden tag. Become.

  Since the print layer 14 also has the display 13 necessary for the wooden tag together with the grain pattern 14a, the manufacturing process can be omitted.

  Since the core material 21 is configured by combining the mechanical pulp layer 21a and the chemical pulp layer 21b, the strength can be further improved, and for example, the core material 21 can have a strength that does not break even when bent. In this respect, it is very similar to a wooden wooden tag.

  The coating layer 22 is formed of two layers of pigment coating and has a white surface, so that the color of the core material 21 does not show through, and a beautiful reflection of the print data faithfully. The printing layer 14 is obtained. From this point, an appearance very similar to a wooden wooden tag can be obtained.

  Since the grain direction of the wood pattern 14a of the printed layer 14 and the flow direction of the wood pulp of the core 21 are the same, the direction of the appearance can be matched with the structural direction. For this reason, even when the wooden tag 11 is formed in a long shape such as a tower, for example, the strength can be necessarily exerted.

Further, in the production, since the printed layer 14 is formed on the base material 12 having a predetermined thickness and then separated, a highly accurate wooden tag 11 can be obtained. Moreover, it does not change with time and cause deformation or the like unlike a wooden wooden tag. As described above, the sense of contact with the wooden tag 11 resembles a wooden wooden tag, and has a coating layer 22 integral with the core material 21, and the edges and corners are also wooden wooden tags. With such a strength, it is also possible to prevent the edges and corners from being accidentally crushed or chipped. For this reason, the process of hanging the wrapping paper 15 and attaching the water drawer 16 can be performed on all the wooden tags 11 by the same uniform operation. That is, processing can be performed simply and quickly, and occurrence of defects can be suppressed.
As a result, it can greatly contribute to the maintenance of traditional Japanese religious culture, such as sacred cards, prayer cards, and ema.

  Furthermore, since it is manufactured by printing on the base material 12 and cutting it off, various kinds of wooden tags 11 can be immediately obtained as necessary, and the necessity of inventory management can be eliminated, and the burden of management and manufacturing can be greatly reduced. Can be reduced. It can shorten production time, mass-produce, and flexibly produce according to orders.

  The above configuration is one mode for carrying out the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and other configurations can be adopted.

  For example, the display 13 displayed on the surface of the wooden tag 11 may be written or printed later. That is, the wooden tag 11 may be configured by expressing only the color of the tree and the grain pattern 14a on the print layer 14.

In addition, as long as the color of the surface of the coating layer 22 has the color of wood, the print layer 14 may be the wood grain pattern 14a alone.
The wood pulp of the core material 21 may not have a constant flow direction of the wood pulp.

  On the wooden tag 11, besides the above-mentioned sacred cards, prayer cards, pagoda, and ema, for example, a wooden tag attached to a celebration flower, a wooden tag for displaying ornaments and exhibits, a restaurant, etc., are arranged on the wall surface. There are various uses such as wooden tags for menus and wooden tags as name tags to be posted on the wall in dojos.
