Description

  The present invention relates to handcrafted hand-woven products, and more particularly to a woven fabric that has excellent shape retention and is suitable for use in various interior products.

  In general, a woven fabric formed by weaving a plurality of warps extending in a substantially warp direction and a weft extending in a substantially weft direction is configured as a flat sheet-like cloth. The woven fabric is often used as indoor interior such as vase, wall hanging, table, etc., taking advantage of its planar sheet shape. Among such woven fabrics, hand-woven fabrics, in particular, are one-of-a-kind products, and are considered to be an important craft item for the owner.

  However, since the shape of a single woven fabric cannot be instantaneously changed and held, the usage can be limited to monotonous applications such as vase, wall hanging, and table laying that can be used in a plane. In order to use the cloth three-dimensionally, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to form and sew it into various shapes intended by the creator. Further, as a characteristic of the woven fabric, for example, when a square thing is formed into a rhombus and is fixed to a wall with a pin, there is a problem that the shape is apt to be deformed, such as being distorted or wrinkled. Furthermore, since many woven fabrics are soft, when storing woven fabrics, it is common to fold them and store them in a drawer or the like. It is difficult to store it in the box.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problem, Patent Document 1 discloses that a polyolefin-based linear body is used by being disposed on a side edge of a decorative ribbon or a part of a woven yarn along the length direction. There has been proposed a decorative ribbon that can be deformed in any direction and retains the folded state.

  Patent Document 2 proposes a woven fabric in which warps and wefts are woven and provided with a core body that can be bent and can retain its shape in the warp direction.

  However, any of the above-described prior arts only has a core body for maintaining the shape of the woven fabric only in the length direction or the warp direction, so that the troublesomeness during processing and the shape of the woven fabric are changed. We have not yet solved all the problems of shape distortion such as distortion and wrinkles later, and the problem of softness.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a woven fabric that solves the above-mentioned problems. Specifically, not only can a single woven fabric be used as a conventional monotonous application, but also the shape can be easily deformed without trouble, and the shape can be maintained as it is being deformed. For example, it can be used for various applications including three-dimensional shapes such as accessory cases, eyeglass holders, paper stands, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide a woven fabric that can be stood and stored in a sheet-like state.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1 is a woven fabric in which a plurality of warps extending in a substantially warp direction and a plurality of wefts extending in a substantially weft direction are woven, and a peripheral portion of the woven fabric. And a shape-retaining material that is a plastically deformable wire.

  The present invention according to claim 2 is the woven fabric according to claim 1, wherein the shape retaining material is arranged in the warp or the weft in at least one of the approximately warp direction and the approximately weft direction. It is characterized by being woven together.

  The present invention according to claim 3 is the woven fabric according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the shape holding material is a metal wire, a metal wire coated with vinyl, and a wire formed of a synthetic resin into a fiber shape. It is a wire selected from the group consisting of the objects.

  The present invention according to claim 4 is the woven fabric according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the warp and the weft are selected from the group consisting of hemp yarn, cotton yarn, wool yarn, tearing fabric, and synthetic fiber yarn. It is characterized by being a thread which was made.

The present invention has the following effects.
(1) Since the woven fabric has a shape-retaining material that is a plastically deformable wire around its periphery, the shape can be easily changed from a flat shape to a three-dimensional shape according to the application without any hassle. It is possible to keep the shape as it is deformed.
(2) Since the shape-retaining material is woven together with the warp or weft in at least one of the warp direction and the weft direction in addition to the peripheral portion, it becomes somewhat unstable when changing the shape of the cloth. Even in the case of a weaving method that is insufficient in thickness and fastness, it is possible to easily change the shape according to the application and maintain the shape from a flat shape to a three-dimensional shape without taking time and effort. Make it possible.
(3) The shape-retaining material is a wire selected from the group consisting of a metal wire, a metal wire coated with vinyl, and a linear object formed into a fibrous shape with a synthetic resin, so use a special hand loom. Without using a conventional hand loom, the woven fabric can be woven.
(4) The warp yarn and the weft yarn are yarns selected from the group consisting of hemp yarn, cotton yarn, wool yarn, tear cloth and synthetic fiber yarn, so that the effects of the present invention can be further exhibited. .

Moreover, in each figure, the figure appearing in a lattice-like line in the substantially central part merely represents that weaved warps and wefts, and specific weaving methods include plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, etc. Not limited to this.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing the front side for explaining the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the back side for explaining the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention. 3 is a side view showing a side view for explaining the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a line AA of FIG. 1 for explaining the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention. It is sectional drawing. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the woven fabric 10 is generally known as a plurality of warps 21 extending in a substantially warp direction and a plurality of wefts 22 extending in a substantially weft direction. It consists of a fabric surface 11 woven using a weaving technique.

  The material used as the yarn is preferably a warp yarn having a hard property such as hemp yarn, and the weft yarn 22 is preferably a thick yarn such as cotton yarn, wool yarn, tearing cloth or synthetic fiber. It is possible to use yarns of various materials regardless of natural materials or artificial materials.

  The peripheral part including the left and right side parts 14, the upper edge part 12, and the lower edge part 13 of the cloth surface 11 includes a shape-retaining material 15 that is a plastically deformable wire. The shape retaining material 15 disposed in the portion 14 is provided in parallel to the warp direction, and the shape retaining material 15 disposed in the upper edge portion 12 and the lower edge portion 13 is provided in parallel to the weft direction.

  Here, the shape retaining material 15 disposed on the left and right side portions 14 is penetrated from the cloth surface upper edge portion side end portion 14a to the cloth surface lower edge portion side end portion 14b in parallel with the warp direction. The fabric surface 11 has folded portions 16 and 17 formed along the fabric surface upper side portion 18a and the fabric surface lower side portion 19a, and the left and right fabric surface upper edge side end portions 14a and the left and right fabric surfaces. The shape holding member 15 penetrating from the lower edge portion side end portion 14b is folded so as to face in the left-right direction and parallel to the weft yarn 22, and is wrapped by the folded portions 16, 17, and the folded portion upper edge portion 18b or the folded portion lower edge The portion 19 b is stitched with the cloth surface 11 and the binding thread 20.

  Thereby, the shape retaining material 15 is included in the peripheral portion of the cloth surface 11. The shape of the woven fabric can be changed by bending or curving the shape-retaining material 15 while keeping the design characteristic of the woven fabric appearing on the surface. Further, the shape of the woven fabric can be changed. It is possible to hold the shape as it was when it was deformed.

  The shape retaining material 15 used here is preferably a metal wire or a metal wire covered with vinyl, but is not limited thereto, and may be selected as appropriate.

  Next, a second embodiment of the woven fabric according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the front side for explaining the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 5 for explaining the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the shape retaining material 24 is woven together with the warp yarn 21 or the weft yarn 22 in at least one of the warp direction and the weft direction, and the fabric surface 11 The shape-retaining material 24 is provided on substantially the entire surface in plan view. Here, each figure shows only when the shape retaining material 24 is woven together with the weft 21, but this is not restrictive, and the shape retaining material 24 is woven together with the warp 21 or woven into the warp 21 and the weft 22 simultaneously. It is also possible.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when weaving the woven fabric 30, the shape retaining yarn 24 is woven together with the warp yarn 21 or the weft yarn 22 in at least one of the warp direction and the weft direction. As a weaving method, for example, there are the following methods. In the case of weaving together with the warp 21, there are methods such as using the shape retaining material 24 at the same time as the warp 21, using the shape retaining material 24 every other one or several, or using the shape retaining material 24 as the warp 21. Conceivable. Further, when weaving with the weft yarn 22, a method of using the shape retaining material 24 at the same time as the weft yarn 22 or using the shape retaining material 24 every other step or several steps is conceivable.

  In this way, the shape retaining material 24 can be woven into the cloth surface 11 by any one of the methods described above or by some combination of any of the methods.

  As a material of the shape maintaining material 24 used here, a linear object or the like formed in a fiber shape with a metal wire or a synthetic resin is suitable, but is not limited thereto.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, a method for manufacturing the woven fabrics 10 and 30 according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a plan view for explaining a first step of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a plan view for explaining a first step of the manufacturing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention. is there. In each figure, the hand loom is a well-known technique and is widely known, so it is not shown here. There are various types of hand-weaving machines, and they may be selected as appropriate.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the woven fabrics 10 and 30 are woven by crossing the warp yarn 21 and the weft yarn 22 using a known hand-weaving machine. As the weaving technique, for example, a weaving technique in which the density of the warp yarn 21 is set to be coarse and the weft yarn 22 is driven in firmly and firmly with a ground thickness as much as possible is suitable, but the weaving technique is particularly limited. Rather, various expressions are possible depending on the ingenuity of the creator.

  Here, when installing or fixing the warp 21 on a known hand-weaving machine, the warp 21 located on the right and left side ends of the warp 21 installs or fixes the guide string 23. The material used for the guide string 23 may be appropriately selected and is not particularly limited.

  The first stage of weaving is woven without passing the weft 22 through the guide string 23. Then, after weaving through an appropriate number of steps, the guide string 23 is also woven through the weft 22. Then, after weaving an arbitrary number of stages, several stages are led again and the string 23 is woven without passing the weft 22. As a result, the fabric surface 11 and the folded portions 16 and 17 extending from the fabric surface 11 are formed. Further, a string 23 is passed through the cloth surface upper edge portion side end portion 14a from the cloth surface lower edge portion side end portion 14b in parallel with the warp direction.

  Here, the difference in the manufacturing method between the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 8, when the weft 22 is passed through the warp yarn 21 in the first step, The purpose is to weave through the shape retaining material 24 every several steps. As a result, the shape retaining material 24 is woven into the entire fabric surface 11.

  Since the subsequent processes are common to both the first and second embodiments of the present invention, only the first embodiment will be described, and the manufacturing process of the second embodiment will be omitted.

  FIG. 9 is a plan view for explaining a second step of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. After weaving in the first step, the woven fabric 10 is removed from the loom and subjected to warp 21 fraying prevention treatment or the like as appropriate. Thereafter, the end portion 15 a of the shape retaining material 15 is connected to one end portion 23 a of the guide string 23 penetrating the side portion 14 of the cloth surface 11.

  As a connection method, a method of connecting the guide string end portion 23a and the shape retaining material end portion 15a with an adhesive tape or the like is conceivable, but the connection method is not limited thereto. However, a connection method in which a large knot due to a knot or the like is made is not very suitable as the connection method of the present invention.

  FIG. 10 is a plan view for explaining a third step of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the second step, the shape retaining material end 15a is connected to one guiding string end 23a. In the third step, the other guiding string end 23a is placed on the opposite side of the cloth surface 11 in the warp direction. Pull out. In FIG. 10, the direction to be pulled out is indicated by an arrow.

  Thereby, instead of the guide string 23, the shape retaining member 15 is penetrated from the cloth surface upper edge portion side end portion 14a to the cloth surface lower edge portion side end portion 14b in parallel with the warp direction. Thereafter, the guide string 23 is removed from the shape retaining material 15 by an appropriate method.

  Here, although only one side portion 14 is shown in the figure, the shape retaining material 15 is guided to the string 23 on the other side portion 14 by repeating the third step in the second step described above. Instead, it penetrates from the cloth surface upper edge portion side end portion 14a to the cloth surface lower edge portion side end portion 14b in parallel with the warp direction.

  FIG. 11 is a plan view for explaining a fourth step of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. By the above-described third step, the shape retaining material 15 is penetrated from the cloth surface upper edge side end portion 14a to the cloth surface lower edge side end portion 14b in parallel with the warp direction. Then, the shape retaining material 15 penetrating from the left and right fabric surface upper edge side end portions 14a and the left and right fabric surface lower edge side end portions 14b is folded in parallel to the weft 22 in the left-right direction. Here, the direction of bending in FIG. 11 is indicated by arrows.

  FIG. 12 is a plan view for explaining a fifth step of the manufacturing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The shape holding material 15 bent in parallel with the weft 22 in the third step described above is wrapped by folded portions 16 and 17 formed along the cloth surface upper side portion 18a and the cloth surface lower side portion 19b. Then, the folded-up portion upper edge portion 18 b or the folded-up portion lower edge portion 19 b is stitched with the cloth surface 11 and the binding thread 20.

  The woven fabric, which is a hand-woven product, seems to be an important craft item for the owner, but it can be used for a variety of purposes, and the user's subjective effect is also added to the design. And its value is thought to be many times. In addition, by freely changing the appearance from a flat shape to a three-dimensional shape while preserving the inherent softness and warmth of hand-woven fabrics, the application has been diversified to dispel existing concepts for woven fabrics. A lot of work can be expected.
