Description

  The present invention relates to a ribbon for forming artificial flowers used for decoration of decoration objects such as gifts.

  Conventionally, comprising a pair of ribbon pieces superimposed on each other and a pair of cords arranged between the ribbon pieces and extending along the ribbon pieces, the ribbon pieces and the cords are joined to each other at one end thereof, Further, the ribbon pieces are coupled to each other in at least two places on each of a plurality of lines spaced in the longitudinal direction of the ribbon piece so that the ribbon pieces can be moved relative to the string in the longitudinal direction of the cord. In addition, there has been proposed an artificial flower forming ribbon in which adhesiveness is imparted to a part or all of both opposing surfaces of both cords (see Patent Document 1 below).

  According to this ribbon for forming an artificial flower, when the other end portions of both ribbon pieces are moved relative to the string toward the one end portions, the portions of the ribbon pieces between the lines and the ribbon pieces One end of each of the two and a portion between the adjacent lines swell outward in a loop shape, and an artificial flower having these loop-shaped portions as petals is formed. In addition, after the artificial flower is formed, if the artificial flower is attached to the decoration object by tying both straps to the object, the relative movement of the ribbon pieces in the reverse direction with respect to the string and the disappearance of the loop-like part accompanying this are performed. And the shape of the artificial flower is maintained.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-133568

  An object of the present invention is to provide a flower-forming ribbon that is different from the conventional one, and that allows the shape of the formed artificial flower to be maintained.

  The present invention includes a pair of ribbon pieces superimposed on each other, and at least one string disposed between the ribbon pieces and extending along the ribbon pieces, the ribbon pieces and the string being attached to each other at one end thereof. And at least two locations on each of the plurality of lines that are coupled to each other in the longitudinal direction of the ribbon piece such that both ribbon pieces are movable relative to the cord in the longitudinal direction of the cord. In which the other ends of the two ribbon pieces are moved relative to one end of the ribbons to form an artificial flower, which is provided on the string. And a stopper that can be locked to one other end of both ribbon pieces after the artificial flower is formed.

  According to the present invention, after the formation of the artificial flower by the relative movement of the two ribbon pieces with respect to the string, the relative movement in the reverse direction can be prevented by locking the stopper to one other end of the two ribbons. Thus, the form of the artificial flower can be maintained. Further, the stopper is hidden behind the other end portions of both ribbon pieces and is difficult to see, so that the decorative effect of the artificial flower is not impaired.

  The stopper can be made of an elastic plate, for example. The elastic plate has a fixed part fixed to the string and a non-fixed part not fixed, and the fixed part and the non-fixed part are on the other end side and one end part side of the string, respectively. The fixing portion can be locked to one other end portion of both ribbons.

  The stopper may be a part of the string generated by a slit or notch formed in the string.

It is a top view of the said ribbon for artificial flower formation which turns and shows one other end part of a pair of ribbon piece which is a component of the ribbon for artificial flower formation. It is a perspective view of the ribbon for artificial flower formation in the process of formation of the artificial flower. It is a back perspective view of the formed artificial flower. It is a fragmentary top view which fractures | ruptures and shows a part of ribbon for artificial flower formation which concerns on another example. It is a back perspective view of the artificial flower formed with the ribbon for artificial flower formation shown in FIG. It is a fragmentary top view which fractures | ruptures and shows a part of ribbon for artificial flower formation which concerns on another example. It is a fragmentary top view which fractures | ruptures and shows a part of ribbon for artificial flower formation which concerns on another example.

  Referring to FIG. 1, an artificial flower forming ribbon is indicated generally by the numeral 10.

  The artificial flower forming ribbon 10 includes a pair of ribbon pieces 12 that are overlapped with each other, and a pair of strings 14 that are disposed between the ribbon pieces 12 and extend in the longitudinal direction along the ribbon pieces 12. The string 14 may be formed of a ribbon piece having a narrower width dimension than the ribbon piece 12 as in the illustrated example. Moreover, the quantity of the string 14 can be set to 1 or 3 or more instead of the illustrated example which makes this a pair. Both ribbon pieces 12 and both cords 14 are connected to each other at their one end portions 12a, 14a. In addition, the two ribbon pieces 12 have a plurality of lines L spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the two ribbon pieces 12 so that the two ribbon pieces 12 can move relative to the two cords 14 in the longitudinal direction. Are connected to each other in at least two places (joint places 18 to be described later).

  The illustrated ribbon piece 12 and string 14 are each made of a woven fabric made of synthetic fiber such as nylon fiber or polyester fiber, and are joined to each other by welding, heat sealing, or the like. Reference numeral 16 indicates a connecting portion at one end portions 12 a and 14 a of both ribbon pieces 12 and both cords 14, and reference numeral 18 indicates a connecting portion between both ribbon pieces 12. The joint portions 18 are located at the respective edge portions of the two ribbon pieces 12, and the two cords 14 extend between the two joint portions 18 located at the both edge portions.

  In addition to the synthetic fiber woven fabric, the ribbon piece 12 and the string 14 include a synthetic fiber nonwoven fabric, a synthetic resin tape such as polypropylene and vinyl, a paper tape, a natural fiber woven fabric, and a natural fiber. It can be made of a non-woven fabric or the like. The mutual coupling between the two ribbon pieces 12 and the two cords 14 and the mutual coupling between the two ribbon pieces 12 may be performed by, for example, adhesive, stitching, eyelet stitching, staple binding, or the like instead of the welding or heat sealing. Can do.

  Each of the plurality of lines L crosses both ribbon pieces 12 obliquely, and the inclination directions thereof alternately change in opposite directions. The angle (inclination angle) at which each line L crosses both ribbon pieces 12 can be arbitrarily determined. In accordance with the inclination of the line L crossing both ribbon pieces 12, the opening angle between petals forming a pair of artificial flowers and the relative position between each pair of petals around both strings 14 change. Further, the number of lines L can be arbitrarily determined, and the total number of petals changes according to the number of lines L.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the other end portions 12b of the two ribbon pieces 12 are moved relative to the two cords 14 toward the one end portions 12a, the two ribbon pieces 12 are adjacent to each other between the adjacent lines L. The part 12c and the other part 12d between the one end part 12a of both ribbon pieces 12 and the line L adjacent thereto swell outward. If the relative movement is continued, the two lines L adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the two ribbon pieces 12 are close to each other, and the connecting portion 16 at the one end portion 12a and the line L adjacent to each other are close to each other. The portions 12c and 12d are deformed into a loop shape. As a result, an artificial flower 20 (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 5) having the loop-shaped ribbon piece portions 12c and 12d as petals is formed. At this time, most of the cords 14 extend from the formed artificial flower 20, that is, between the joint portions 18 on the line L closest to the other end portion 12 b of the two ribbon pieces 12 to the lower side thereof.

  By the way, if this is left as it is after the artificial flower 20 is formed, relative movement in the opposite direction with respect to the two cords 14 of the both ends 12b of the two ribbon pieces 12 for elastic recovery of the respective ribbon piece portions deformed in a loop shape. (Movement of the both end portions 12b toward the other end portion 14b of both strings 14) occurs, and the form of the artificial flower 20 collapses accordingly.

  In the present invention, one or both of the strings 14 are provided with a stopper 22 for maintaining the form of the artificial flower 20 after formation. The stopper 22 is in contact with or locked to one other end 12b of both ribbon pieces 12 after artificial flower formation, thereby preventing relative movement of the end portions 12b of both ribbon pieces 12 in the opposite direction. Thus, it keeps the shape of the artificial flower 20. For this reason, the stopper 22 is positioned so as to appear below both the joining points 18 on the line L closest to the other end 12b of the both ribbon pieces 12 after the artificial flower 20 is formed.

  The stopper 22 is formed by, for example, an elastic plate (FIG. 1) attached to one string 14, or a slit 24 (FIGS. 4 and 6) or a notch 26 (FIG. 7) provided on both strings 14. It can be made of a part of the two strings 14.

  The illustrated elastic plate is made of a plastic plate having an elongated rectangular planar shape, and is arranged on the surface of the string 14 in parallel with the string. The elastic plate has a fixed portion 22a fixed to the string 14 and a non-fixed portion 22b that is not fixed. The fixed portion 22a and the non-fixed portion 22b are on the other end portion 14b side and the one end portion 14a side of the string 14, respectively. The non-fixed portion 22b of the elastic plate can be locked to one other end portion 12b of both ribbon pieces 12 in the formed artificial flower 20. The non-fixed portion 22b is elastically deformed while being locked to the one other end portion 12b of both ribbon pieces 12 (FIG. 3). The elastic plate can be attached to each of the strings 14 instead of the illustrated example.

  Next, referring to the stopper 22 shown in FIG. 4, the slit 24 that defines the part of the two cords 14 that are the stoppers 22 extends in the width direction from the one edge toward the other edge. It extends at a right angle and terminates just before reaching the other edge. The slit 24 may extend in a direction that obliquely crosses both the strings 14 instead of the illustrated example. The stopper 22 formed of a part of the two cords 14 is configured to twist the two cords 14 after the formation of the artificial flower 20, thereby locking the part of the two cords 14 to one other end 12 b of the two ribbon pieces 12. be able to. The part of the two cords 14 that are twisted and bent serves to prevent relative movement of the other end portions 12b of the two ribbon pieces 12 in the opposite direction (see FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the slit 24 may be formed in a mountain shape instead of the above-described example. The mountain-shaped slit 24 is located substantially at the center in the width direction of the two cords 14 and is convex toward the one end portion 14 a of the two cords 14. According to this, by raising the part of the two cords 14 along the slit 24, the part can be locked to one or both of the other end portions 12 b of the two ribbon pieces 12. For example, the slit 24 may be a semicircular shape instead of the mountain shape.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the notch 26 is formed by notching the string 14 in a V shape from one edge to the other edge, and is open to the one edge side. The direction in which the V-shape is opened can be arbitrarily set, but is preferably the direction closer to the one end portion 14a of both strings 14 as shown in FIG. In this example, by twisting and bending both strings 14, the part of both strings 14 can be locked to one other end 12 b of both ribbon pieces 12. The part of both the twisted and bent cords 14 serves to prevent relative movement of the other end portions 12b of the two ribbon pieces 12 in the opposite direction.

  The slit 24 and the notch 26 can be formed only on one of the two cords 14 instead of the illustrated example formed on the two cords 14.

  The artificial flower 20 in which the relative movement of the two ribbon pieces 12 with respect to the two cords 14 in the opposite direction is prevented by the stopper 22, for example, a part of the two cords 14 extending from between the other end portions 12 b of the two ribbon pieces 12. After cutting, it can be attached to a gift or a packaging of gifts by sticking both strings 14 or by tying both strings 14 without cutting.
