Description

  The present invention relates to a yarn ball creator, and more particularly to a yarn ball creator used as an accessory or decorative accessory attached to clothing such as hats and clothes, dolls, and the like.

  This type of yarn ball is sometimes commonly referred to as a bonbon or pompom. FIG. 5 is a sectional view illustratively showing a configuration example of this type of yarn ball A, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the appearance of this type of yarn ball A. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 5, a large number of wool yarns 1 are bundled and the central portion thereof is tightly bound by the binding yarn 2. Since the yarn 1 is fluffy and has a large compression width, and itself has elasticity, the yarn 1 is bundled with a large number of yarns 1 as described above, and the central portion thereof is bound to the binding yarn. When two are tightly bound, the individual yarns 1 spread radially around the bound portion as shown in FIG. Therefore, a spherical yarn ball as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 is obtained by trimming the outer circumferential portion of the yarn bundle that has spread in such a manner into a spherical shape with a scissors.

  Conventionally, various jigs used when creating a yarn ball have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3).

  Among the above-mentioned patent documents, the “yarn ball forming tool made of fiber yarn” proposed by Patent Document 1 is a bundle of fiber yarns wound around a substantially semicircular main body formed in an arc shape. It has a configuration in which one place is bound with a tied string temporarily fixed by a locking piece provided at one end of the main body, and then the other one place of the fiber yarn bundle can be cut with scissors.

  In addition, the “bonbon creation tool” proposed by Patent Document 2 uses a pair of semi-annular substrates connected to each other at one end side as one set. And in this bonbon making tool, an operation of winding a thread around a semi-annular substrate, an operation of closing a pair of semi-annular substrates and retaining them in an annular shape, an operation of aligning a pair of substrates retained in an annular shape, etc. It is said that a bonbon as a yarn ball can be created by performing the above.

  Furthermore, the “hairball making tool” proposed by Patent Document 3 includes a pair of arms each having an arch portion, a support member that rotatably supports these arms, and the like.

  However, the “yarn ball forming tool made of fiber yarn” proposed by the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a substantially semicircular shape. In addition, the “bonbon creation tool” proposed by Patent Document 2 uses a pair of semi-annular substrates as one set. Furthermore, the “hairball making tool” proposed by Patent Document 3 uses a pair of arms each having an arch part. As described above, the conventional “ball yarn forming tool”, “bonbon making tool”, and “hairball making tool” all use arc-shaped members as the jig body, so their shapes are complicated. There was a problem that the production cost was high. In addition, since the user has a complicated structure, it is difficult to intuitively understand how to use the user.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and is a yarn ball that is extremely simple in configuration and can be manufactured at low cost, and that allows the user to intuitively understand how to use it. The purpose is to provide creation tools.

  The yarn ball maker according to the present invention includes a body portion around which the yarn for forming the spherical portion of the yarn ball is wound around the maker body, and a bundle for binding and tightening the yarn wound around the body portion. A through-hole portion through which the yarn is inserted, and a slit-like long hole portion extending from the through-hole portion and passing through the body portion and opened at the edge of the body portion are provided. And, by winding the binding yarn inserted through the through-hole portion in the elongated hole portion, the yarn bundle bundled around the body portion can be tightened. is there.

  According to the yarn ball creating tool having this configuration, the binding yarn is inserted into the through hole portion of the creating tool body, the yarn is wound around the body portion of the creating tool body, and the binding is inserted into the through hole portion. It is possible to easily and quickly perform the tightening of the yarn bundle wound around the body portion with the yarn. After tightening the yarn bundle with the binding yarn, incising the yarn bundle on both sides of the binding portion with a cutter or scissors and removing the yarn bundle from the body of the preparation tool, the individual yarns radiate around the binding portion. To spread. Therefore, a spherical yarn ball can be obtained by trimming the outer peripheral portion of the yarn group that has spread in such a manner into a spherical shape with a scissors.

  In the present invention, the preparation tool main body formed in a plate shape having a rectangular shape in plan view is divided into two sections in the longitudinal direction, the one section is the body section, and the other section is the handle section. It is desirable that the handle can be wound around the trunk with the other hand while holding the handle with one hand. With this configuration, it is possible to easily and surely perform the operation of winding the wool around the body of the preparation tool main body with the grip portion of the preparation tool main body held by hand.

  In the present invention, the thread hooking groove for inserting and temporarily fixing the end portion of the bundled yarn that is inserted into the through-hole portion and wound around the handle portion into the end edge of the handle portion is recessed. It is desirable that it be formed. With this configuration, the end of the binding yarn inserted through the through hole can be temporarily fixed by the yarn hooking groove, so that the binding yarn falls off the preparation tool body during the operation and falls off. It won't happen. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily perform the work of winding the yarn around the trunk.

  In the present invention, the through-hole portion formed of a round hole is formed at a boundary portion between the body portion and the handle portion, and the through-hole portion has a diameter dimension longer than the hole width of the long hole portion. It is desirable. With this configuration, when long bundling yarns are required, the bundling yarns can be passed through the through-holes several times, which is useful for facilitating the bundling operation.

  As described above, the yarn ball maker according to the present invention is formed by bundling the yarn body for forming the spherical portion of the yarn ball and the yarn wound around the drum portion around the yarn body. A through-hole part through which a binding thread for tightening is inserted, and a slit-like long hole part that extends from the through-hole part and passes through the body part and is opened at the edge of the body part. In addition, since the production tool body can be formed into a rectangular plate shape in plan view, it can be manufactured at low cost using a wooden board or a resin molded body. In addition, for users who want to create a yarn ball, it has a configuration that allows the user to intuitively understand how to use the device simply by looking at the production tool. There is an advantage that it becomes possible.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a yarn ball maker according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are perspective views illustratively illustrating how to use the yarn ball maker, and FIG. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the external shape of a yarn ball. FIG. 7 is a schematic plan view of the above-described yarn ball creation tool.

  In this embodiment, the preparation tool main body 10 is made of a wooden board or a plate-like resin molded body having a rectangular shape in plan view and having a thickness of about 5 to 10 mm. The preparation tool main body 10 is divided into two sections in the longitudinal direction. The section Z1 on one side is a body section 20, while the section Z2 on the other side is a handle section 30. And the through-hole part 11 which consists of a round hole is provided in the width direction center part of the boundary part of the trunk | drum 20 and the handle part 30. As shown in FIG. The body portion 20 is provided with a slit-like long hole portion 12 that extends from the through-hole portion 11 and passes through the body portion 20 and is opened at the end edge 21 of the body portion 20. Furthermore, the thread hooking groove 13 located at the center in the width direction is formed in the end edge 31 of the handle portion 30 in a recessed shape.

  In FIG. 7, the vertical dimension (longitudinal dimension) of the preparation tool main body 10 is denoted by L, the horizontal width of the main body 10 is denoted by W, the diameter of the through hole 11 is denoted by D, the length of the long hole 12 is denoted by L1, The hole width of the long hole portion 12 is indicated by symbol S1, and the opening width of the yarn hooking portion 13 is indicated by symbol S2. As shown in the figure, the through hole portion 11 has a diameter dimension longer than the hole width S1 of the long hole portion 12.

  Although yarns of various thicknesses can be used for the production of the yarn ball A, when using yarns having a diameter of 1 mm or more in a natural state (a state where no diameter reduction has occurred) If the dimensions of each part shown in FIG. 7 are determined as follows, for example, the usability is improved. That is, the vertical dimension L of the preparation tool main body 10 is about 100 mm, the horizontal width W of the main body 10 is about 50 mm, the diameter D of the through hole portion 11 is about 30 mm, the length L1 of the long hole portion 12 is about 50 mm, and the long hole portion. It is preferable to set the hole width S1 of 12 to about 2 mm and the opening width S2 of the yarn hooking portion 13 to about 1 mm.

  As described at the beginning with reference to FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the yarn ball A has a configuration in which a large number of yarns 1 are bundled and the central portion thereof is tightly bound by the bundling yarn 2. In addition to the fact that the yarn 1 is fluffy and has a large compression width, the yarn 1 itself has elasticity, so that a large number of yarns 1 are bundled as described above and the central portion thereof is bound. When the yarn 2 is tied tightly, the individual yarns 1 spread radially around the bound portion. Therefore, a spherical yarn ball can be obtained by trimming the outer peripheral portion of the yarn group that has spread in such a radial manner into a spherical shape with a scissors.

  Therefore, for a user who knows the procedure and configuration of the yarn ball A, the body portion of the tool body 10 can be obtained only by looking at the yarn ball generator having the configuration described with reference to FIG. Intuitively recognize that 20 is a portion around which the yarn for forming the spherical portion of the yarn ball is wound, and that the slit-like long hole portion 12 is a portion used for fastening the yarn with the binding yarn. be able to. Similarly, if the binding yarn is inserted into the through-hole portion 11, the binding yarn can be used to tighten and bind the yarn wound around the body portion 20 while using the long hole portion 12. That is, it can be intuitively recognized that the yarn hooking groove 13 can be used for temporarily fixing the binding yarn.

  Next, an example of a procedure for creating a yarn ball using the above-described yarn ball creation tool will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bundling yarn 2 having a required length inserted through the through-hole portion 11 is wound once or a plurality of times over the through-hole portion 11 and the yarn hooking groove 13, and the end portion of the bundling yarn 2 2a is inserted into the thread hooking groove 13 and temporarily fixed. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the wool yarn 1 having a necessary length is wound around the body 20 in multiple layers. In this winding operation, the yarns 1 may be regularly arranged and wound in multiple layers, or may be wound irregularly. The number of windings is appropriately 40 to 50, but the number of windings can be increased or decreased in consideration of the hardness of the yarn ball to be created. The winding operation of the yarn 1 can be easily performed by the user holding the handle portion 30 with one hand and winding the yarn 1 around the trunk portion 20 with the other hand.

  Either the above-described operation of inserting the binding yarn 2 through the through-hole portion 11 and the operation of winding the wool yarn 1 around the body portion 20 may be performed first. However, when performing the operation of winding the yarn 1 around the body portion 20, it is necessary to take care that the wound portion of the yarn 1 does not protrude from the formation portion of the through-hole portion 11. This is because if the through-hole portion 11 is blocked by the yarn 1 wound around the body portion 20, the binding yarn 2 cannot be inserted into the through-hole portion 11. On the other hand, if the binding yarn 2 is inserted through the through-hole portion 11 in advance, even if the wound portion of the yarn 1 protrudes from the formation portion of the through-hole portion 11, the subsequent binding operation is not hindered. There are advantages.

  Next, after removing the end portion 2a of the binding yarn 2 from the yarn hooking groove 13, the binding yarn 2 is wound in the slit-shaped long hole portion 12 as shown in FIG. An operation of tightly binding the yarn bundle 1A wound around the portion 20 in multiple layers, that is, a tightening operation is performed. When this tightening operation is performed, the yarn group located on the front surface side of the preparation tool main body 10 and the yarn group located on the back surface side thereof are bound at one location by the binding yarn 2, and the yarn bundle at the binding location. The yarn 1 forming 1A is compressed to a reduced diameter state.

  Thereafter, the yarn bundle 1A bound by the binding yarn 2 is cut using a scissors or a cutter at two locations on both sides of the binding location. This cutting operation is performed by putting a scissors on the side surface of the preparation tool main body 10 in a state where the yarn bundle 1A is wound around the trunk portion 20, or pressing the cutter against the side surface of the preparation tool main body 10. Is easily possible. Moreover, after pulling out the yarn bundle 1A from the body part 20, it is also possible to cut the two places on both sides sandwiching the binding part. However, considering the ease of removing the yarn bundle 1A from the preparation tool body 10, it is desirable to select the former method.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the yarn bundle 1 </ b> A in which the two portions on both sides sandwiching the binding portion are radially spread around the binding portion. Therefore, the spherical yarn ball shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 is obtained by trimming the outer peripheral portion of the yarn group that spreads radially like this into a spherical shape with a scissors.

  In the yarn ball creation tool of the embodiment, the end 2a of the binding yarn 2 can be temporarily fixed by providing the creation tool body 10 with the yarn catching groove 13, but the yarn catching groove 13 is omitted. Even in this case, the user can press the binding yarn 2 against the preparation tool main body 10 with a finger of one hand and temporarily fix it. Therefore, the yarn hooking groove 13 can be omitted. Moreover, although the diameter D of the through-hole part 11 is made larger than the hole width S1 of the slit-like long hole part 12, the binding thread 2 can be easily inserted into the through-hole part 11, but this point is If the hole width S1 of the long hole portion 12 is sufficiently large, the diameter D of the through hole portion 11 does not necessarily need to be larger than the hole width S1 of the slit-shaped long hole portion 12.
