Description

本発明は、書道に使用する毛筆に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a brush used for calligraphy.

毛筆で文字を美しく書くためには、例えば平仮名の「の」や「は」等といった文字の曲がる部分の微妙な筆運びや、毛筆の穂先の止め、撥ね、払い等の筆使いが非常に重要となる。   In order to write letters beautifully with a brush, it is very important to use delicate brushes such as hiragana “no” and “ha”, etc. It becomes.

文字の曲がる部分を書く場合、毛筆の穂先を回転させなければならず、子供や初心者にとってはその筆運びを理解することは困難であった。そのため、特に子供は、文字の曲がる部分に差し掛かるとその都度手の動きを一旦止め、その位置で片手を添えて毛筆を回転させて穂先を曲がる方向に向け直しながら書いたり、穂先を強引に折り曲げるようにしながら書いてしまいがちであった。このように文字の曲がる部分を書くと、書き終えた際に穂先が乱れてしまい、次の線を書くには穂先を整え直さなければならなかった。これでは文字の曲がる部分を滑らかに書くことができず、文字に墨の濃淡の差ができたり、線の太さが変わってしまったりして文字全体のバランスが悪くなり、美しい文字を書くことができなかった。また、穂先をその都度整え直さなければならず、面倒でもあった。   When writing a bent part of a character, the tip of the brush must be rotated, and it was difficult for children and beginners to understand how to carry the brush. Therefore, especially when a child reaches the bent part of a character, the movement of his / her hand is temporarily stopped each time, with one hand attached at that position, the writing brush is rotated and the head is turned in the direction of bending, or the tip is forcibly pushed. It was easy to write while bending. When writing the part where the character bends in this way, the tip was disturbed when the writing was completed, and the tip had to be reshaped to write the next line. This makes it impossible to smoothly write the bent part of the character, and the character may have a different shade of ink, or the thickness of the line may change, resulting in a poor balance of the entire character and writing a beautiful character I could not. In addition, the tip had to be remade each time, which was troublesome.

また、文字の止め、撥ね、払いの部分を書く場合には、次に書く線の書き出しへとスムーズに穂先を運ぶためにも微妙な筆圧が必要となり、初心者にとっては筆圧をコントロールする等といった微妙な筆使いを理解することも困難であった。このため、文字の止め、撥ね、払いを行う際には、筆圧が大きくなりすぎて穂先がくの字状に折れ曲がってしまい、次の線を書く場合には穂先を整え直さなければならず、流れるように美しい文字を書くことができなかった。
このように毛筆の筆運びや筆使いは誰しもが直ぐに習得することは極めて難しく、そのため、美しい文字を書くためには熟練した高度な技能が必要であった。
In addition, when writing a stop, splash, or payout part of a character, delicate writing pressure is necessary to smoothly move the tip to the next writing line, and for beginners to control the writing pressure. It was also difficult to understand the delicate brush usage. For this reason, when stopping, repelling, and paying characters, the writing pressure becomes too large and the tip of the tip is bent into a shape of a tip, and when writing the next line, the tip must be realigned. I couldn't write flowing beautiful characters.
In this way, it is extremely difficult for anyone to learn how to brush and use a brush, so it is necessary to have a high level of skill to write beautiful characters.

そこで本発明は、子供からお年寄りまで年齢及び経験を問わず、誰もが美しい文字を容易に書くことができる毛筆を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a writing brush that anyone can easily write beautiful characters regardless of age or experience from children to the elderly.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明のうち請求項1記載の発明は、穂先と、該穂先を固定する首部と、胴部と、穂先を回転させる回転手段と、から構成し、該回転手段によって首部と胴部とが連結されることを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a tip, a neck for fixing the tip, a trunk, and a rotating means for rotating the tip, and the rotating means. The neck portion and the trunk portion are connected by each other.

ここで回転手段とは、毛筆の軸を中心に穂先と首部とを一体的に回転させることが可能である手段を全て含める概念であり、請求項2記載の発明のように、首部と胴部とを相互に回転させる軸受にすることが望ましい。   Here, the rotating means is a concept including all means capable of integrally rotating the tip and the neck around the axis of the brush, and the neck and the trunk as in the invention of claim 2. It is desirable to make the bearings rotate with respect to each other.

本発明のうち請求項3記載の発明は、回転手段は防食性を保有していることを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that the rotating means has anticorrosive properties.

請求項1記載の発明によれば、毛筆の運びに追従して穂先が回転するため、特に平仮名の曲がる部分や、文字の止め、撥ね、払いの部分の筆運びや筆使いが容易且つスムーズとなり、毛筆を自分の思い通りに自由に操ることができることから、誰もが容易に美しい文字を書くことが可能となる。また、筆運びがスムーズになるため穂先が割れにくく、途中で穂先を整える手間を省くと共に、一筆で流れるように文字が書けることから、墨の濃淡の差をなくし線の太さを均一にすることだけでなく、全体的にバランスの取れた美しい文字を書くことが可能となる。さらには、様々な書体を容易に書くことができると共に、新しい書体をも作り出すことができるため、今までにはない非常に斬新な毛筆を提供することができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the tip rotates following the carrying of the brush, especially the hiragana bends, the stop of the characters, the repelling, the paying of the brush can be carried easily and smoothly. Because the brush can be manipulated as you wish, anyone can easily write beautiful characters. In addition, the brush strokes are smooth and the tip is hard to break, eliminating the need to arrange the tip in the middle and writing the characters so that they flow with a single brush, eliminating the difference in ink shade and making the thickness of the line uniform. In addition to that, it is possible to write beautiful characters that are balanced overall. Furthermore, since various typefaces can be easily written and a new typeface can be created, it is possible to provide a very novel writing brush that has never existed before.

請求項2記載の発明によれば、軸受によって首部と胴部とが相互に回転するため、軸受に生じる摩擦を減少させて首部と穂先の回転をより一層スムーズにすることができる。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the neck portion and the body portion rotate with each other by the bearing, it is possible to reduce the friction generated in the bearing and to further smoothly rotate the neck portion and the tip.

請求項3記載の発明によれば、毛筆を水洗いしても回転手段の腐食を防止することができるため、穂先のスムーズな回転を保持することが可能であると共に、今までの毛筆と同様の取り扱いをすることが可能となる。   According to the invention of claim 3, since the corrosion of the rotating means can be prevented even if the brush is washed with water, it is possible to maintain the smooth rotation of the tip and the same as the conventional brushes. It becomes possible to handle.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本発明の毛筆は、図1及び図2に示すように穂先1と、首部2と、胴部3と、回転軸受4とから構成されている。首部2の一端には穂先1が強固に固着されており、他端には凹部5が形成されている。胴部3は円筒状をなしており、一端は開放されており、他端にはキャップ6が固着されている。回転軸受4は、ステンレス製の回転ピン7と、プラスチック製からなる円柱状の回転部材8a,8bと、同じくプラスチック製からなる薄い円板9a,9bとから構成されている。回転部材8a,8bと円板9a,9bの各中心部には、回転ピン7の軸部7aを挿通するための挿通穴10が形成されている。回転部材8bの挿通穴10のみは、回転部材8b内を貫通させないように形成しておく。
ここで回転軸受4を構成する各部材の材質に関しては、毛筆を水洗いしても各部が腐食しない材質であれば上記したものに限定するものではない。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the writing brush of the present invention includes a tip 1, a neck 2, a body 3, and a rotary bearing 4. A tip 1 is firmly fixed to one end of the neck 2, and a recess 5 is formed at the other end. The body 3 has a cylindrical shape, one end is open, and the cap 6 is fixed to the other end. The rotary bearing 4 is composed of a stainless steel rotary pin 7, cylindrical rotary members 8a and 8b made of plastic, and thin disks 9a and 9b also made of plastic. An insertion hole 10 for inserting the shaft portion 7a of the rotating pin 7 is formed at the center of each of the rotating members 8a, 8b and the disks 9a, 9b. Only the insertion hole 10 of the rotating member 8b is formed so as not to penetrate the rotating member 8b.
Here, the material of each member constituting the rotary bearing 4 is not limited to the above as long as the material does not corrode each part even if the brush is washed with water.

このように構成された各部を、図3(a)(b)(c)に示すように組み立てることで本発明の毛筆が完成する。まず、回転軸受4を組み立てる(図3(a))。円板9a、回転部材8a、円板9b、回転部材8bの順に各挿通穴10に回転ピン7の軸部7aを挿通する。そして、軸部7aの先端部を回転部材8bの挿通穴10のさらに奥に打ち込み固定することで組み立てが完成する。このように組み立てることで、回転部材8a,8bが回転ピン7と一体的に回転するものと、独立して回転するものとに分けられるため、各回転部材8a,8bを相互に回転させることが可能となる。また、回転部材8a,8bと円板9a,9bを交互に配置することで、回転ピン7の頭部7bと回転部材8a、回転部材8a,8b相互の間にそれぞれ円板9a,9bが配置されるため、円板9a,9bがワッシャー代わりとなり、各回転部材8a,8bの回転抵抗を減少させて、よりスムーズに各回転部材8a,8bを回転させることが可能となる。ここで、回転ピン7の先端部を回転部材8bに固定する方法としては、必ずしも回転ピン7の先端部を回転部材8bに打ち込むものに限るものではなく、接着剤を用いて回転部材8bの挿通穴10内に回転ピン7の先端部を固着させてもよい。この場合、回転部材8bの挿通穴10は、回転部材8b内を貫通させて設けておくか、又は、回転ピン7の軸部7aの先端部を完全に収容させるように設けておく必要がある。   The writing brush of this invention is completed by assembling each part comprised in this way as shown to Fig.3 (a) (b) (c). First, the rotary bearing 4 is assembled (FIG. 3A). The shaft portion 7a of the rotation pin 7 is inserted into each insertion hole 10 in the order of the disk 9a, the rotation member 8a, the disk 9b, and the rotation member 8b. Then, the assembly is completed by driving the tip portion of the shaft portion 7a further into the insertion hole 10 of the rotating member 8b and fixing it. By assembling in this way, the rotating members 8a and 8b can be divided into one that rotates integrally with the rotating pin 7 and one that rotates independently, so that the rotating members 8a and 8b can be rotated relative to each other. It becomes possible. Further, by arranging the rotating members 8a and 8b and the disks 9a and 9b alternately, the disks 9a and 9b are arranged between the head 7b of the rotating pin 7 and the rotating members 8a and 8b. Therefore, the disks 9a and 9b serve as washers, and the rotational resistance of the rotating members 8a and 8b can be reduced, so that the rotating members 8a and 8b can be rotated more smoothly. Here, the method for fixing the tip end portion of the rotating pin 7 to the rotating member 8b is not necessarily limited to driving the tip end portion of the rotating pin 7 into the rotating member 8b, and the insertion of the rotating member 8b using an adhesive is performed. The tip of the rotary pin 7 may be fixed in the hole 10. In this case, the insertion hole 10 of the rotating member 8b needs to be provided so as to penetrate the rotating member 8b, or be provided so that the tip end portion of the shaft portion 7a of the rotating pin 7 is completely accommodated. .

次に、上述した回転軸受4を用いて首部2と胴部3とを連結させる。まず、図3(b)に示すように、回転軸受4の回転ピン7の頭部7b側の回転部材8aを首部2の凹部5内に嵌め込み、接着剤で凹部5内に固着させる。次に、図3(c)に示すように、首部2から突出する回転軸受4のうち回転部材8bを胴部3内に嵌め込み、接着剤で胴部3の内周壁に固着させることで各部2,3の連結が完了する。このように、回転軸受4の円板9bを中心に、左右の回転部材8a,8bに首部2と胴部3をそれぞれ固着させることにより、図4にも示す通り、首部2と胴部3が相互に回転可能になると共に、各部2,3の間に円板9bが配置されるため、各部2,3の回転が非常にスムーズとなり、さらには回転軸受4の円板9b以外の全ての部材が首部2及び胴部3内に収容されてしまうため、外部から回転軸受4が見えず従来の毛筆と変わらない外観となる。
ここで回転軸受4の円板9a,9bの大きさに関しては、特に限定するものではないが、回転部材8a,8b相互の間に配置される円板9bについては、毛筆の外部に露出することから、毛筆の外観を良好にすると共に、毛筆を持つ際の邪魔にならないようにするためにも、胴部3の直径とほぼ同径にするか、又はそれよりも少し小さくすることが望ましい。また、首部2の凹部5内に嵌め込む回転軸受4は、回転ピン7の頭部7b側の回転部材8aに限定するものではなく、回転ピン7の軸部7aの先端側の回転部材8bであってもよい。
Next, the neck part 2 and the trunk | drum 3 are connected using the rotary bearing 4 mentioned above. First, as shown in FIG. 3B, the rotating member 8a on the head 7b side of the rotating pin 7 of the rotating bearing 4 is fitted into the recessed portion 5 of the neck portion 2, and fixed in the recessed portion 5 with an adhesive. Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the rotating member 8b of the rotating bearing 4 protruding from the neck 2 is fitted into the barrel 3 and fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the barrel 3 with an adhesive. , 3 is completed. In this way, by fixing the neck 2 and the body 3 to the left and right rotating members 8a and 8b around the disk 9b of the rotary bearing 4, as shown in FIG. Since the disk 9b can be rotated between the parts 2 and 3, the rotation of the parts 2 and 3 becomes very smooth. Further, all members other than the disk 9b of the rotary bearing 4 are provided. Is housed in the neck portion 2 and the body portion 3, the rotary bearing 4 cannot be seen from the outside, and the appearance is the same as a conventional brush.
Here, the size of the disks 9a and 9b of the rotary bearing 4 is not particularly limited, but the disk 9b disposed between the rotating members 8a and 8b is exposed to the outside of the brush. Therefore, in order to improve the appearance of the writing brush and not to obstruct the holding of the writing brush, it is desirable to make it approximately the same diameter as the diameter of the body portion 3 or slightly smaller than that. The rotary bearing 4 fitted into the recess 5 of the neck 2 is not limited to the rotary member 8a on the head 7b side of the rotary pin 7, but is a rotary member 8b on the tip side of the shaft portion 7a of the rotary pin 7. There may be.

図5は、穂先の回転状態を示すものである。従来の毛筆の持ち方と同様に胴部3を持って文字を書くことで、例えば平仮名「の」等のような曲がる部分や、文字の撥ね、払いの部分等を書く際に、その筆運びに応じて首部2と穂先1が一体となって回転し、穂先1が常に進行方向に向くため、文字を滑らかに書くことが可能となり、筆使い等を習得していなくても誰でも容易に美しい文字を書くことができる。   FIG. 5 shows the rotation state of the tip. By writing a character with the body 3 in the same way as a conventional brush, you can use it to write a bent part, such as Hiragana "No", or a character's splashing or paying part. Accordingly, the neck 2 and the tip 1 rotate as a unit, and the tip 1 always faces in the direction of travel, making it possible to write characters smoothly, and anyone can learn easily without having to learn to use a brush. Can write beautiful characters.

尚、本発明の毛筆は、穂先1の長さが長くなる程、毛筆を持つ部分(胴部3)と穂先1の先端の距離が大きくなるため、文字を書く際の回転モーメントが大きくなり穂先が回転しやすくなる。また、図6に示すように、首部2と胴部3を跨ぐように手で持つことにより、穂先1の回転を規制して従来の毛筆と同様に使用することが可能となり、非常に汎用性に優れた今までにはない毛筆となる。   In the brush of the present invention, as the length of the tip 1 becomes longer, the distance between the portion having the brush (the body portion 3) and the tip of the tip 1 becomes larger, so that the rotational moment when writing characters becomes larger and the tip becomes larger. Becomes easier to rotate. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, by holding by hand so as to straddle the neck portion 2 and the trunk portion 3, it becomes possible to restrict the rotation of the tip 1 and use it like a conventional brush, which is very versatile. This is a brush that has never been better.
