Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing pocketed Japanese paper, and more particularly to a method for producing Japanese paper with a pocket into which various small items can be placed.

  Japanese paper is known as a paper made from cocoons and sashimi and made using an original Japanese method. Japanese paper, unlike Western paper, leaves the texture of bast fibers such as cocoons and cocoons as a raw material throughout the paper, and in combination with this texture, gives a unique texture and natural feeling. Therefore, it has been conventionally used for various applications such as paper products such as stationery and envelopes, and wall hangings.

  If there is a pocket for small items in such a Japanese paper, the user can create a unique taste and expand his dream. For example, in the case of a notepaper, if a flower is inserted into a pocket, not only a decorative effect can be obtained, but also a message different from that by letters can be added.

The pocket may be manufactured separately from the Japanese paper main body and integrated with the main body by bonding or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the one integrated by such adhesion or the like has a seam, and not only does not look good but also lacks unexpectedness.

The present invention has been made based on the technical background as described above, and achieves the following object.
An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method in which pockets are molded and integrated in the same manufacturing process as a Japanese paper main body, thereby attracting the interest of consumers and providing a surprisingly rich Japanese paper with pockets. There is to do.

The present invention employs the following means in order to achieve the above object.
That is, in the present invention, the Japanese paper portions to be the base layer and the pocket layer are separately spread,
In a state where the base layer and the pocket layer contain moisture, the pocket layer is overlapped with a partition plate interposed at a predetermined position on the base layer,
Then, after squeezing the hydrated paper consisting of the base layer and the pocket layer, the partition plate is extracted in an undried state,
Then, the wet Japanese paper which consists of the said base layer and a pocket layer is dried, It exists in the manufacturing method of the Japanese paper with a pocket characterized by the above-mentioned.

  In the manufacturing method described above, it is desirable that after the pocket layer is overlaid on the base layer, a Japanese paper that becomes a thin surface layer is spread again on the surface.

  According to this invention, in the manufacturing process of Japanese paper from papermaking to pressing and drying, a process of superimposing a pocket layer on a separately spread base layer was incorporated, and the pocket layer was integrated with the base layer. The seam between the pocket layer and the base layer can hardly be discriminated, and the appearance is that a pocket is formed on a piece of Japanese paper. Accordingly, it is possible to provide Japanese paper that attracts the interest of consumers and is rich in unexpectedness.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a pocket-made Japanese paper obtained by the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The Japanese paper 1 with a pocket includes a base layer 2 that is a main body of the Japanese paper, and a pocket layer 3 that is formed integrally with the base layer 2. In FIG. 1, the code | symbol 3a shows a pocket and 3b has shown the opening part.

  Here, the main manufacturing process of Japanese paper is shown in the order of processes as follows. “Boiled” → “Dust removal” → “Making” → “Paper making” → “Pressing” → “Drying”. In the present invention, a pocket-made Japanese paper 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be obtained by incorporating a special process between the papermaking process and the drying process.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing steps from the paper making process to the drying process. As shown in (a), a base frame for the frame 10 and a pocket layer 11 for the pocket layer are prepared. The facing frames 10 and 11 have a known structure in which a net is attached to the inside of a rectangular frame. The base frames 2 and the pocket layers 3 are separately sown by the soaking frames 10 and 11 in a soaking tank containing Japanese paper raw materials.

  Next, as shown in (b), the pocket layer 3 is peeled off from the tear frame 11 and is superposed on the base layer 2 without being peeled off from the tear frame 12. At that time, a partition plate 12 is interposed between the pocket layer 2 and the base layer. The partition plate 12 is a thin plate having a thickness of about 2 mm to 5 mm, made of plastic or wood, has a width corresponding to the inner width of the pocket, and has a length protruding from the superimposed base layer 12. Yes. The overlapping of the pocket layer 3 is performed in a state where the pocket layer 3 and the base layer 2 contain moisture. At this time, the peripheral edge of the pocket layer 3 may be pressed toward the base layer 2. Thereby, since both the pocket layer 3 and the base layer 2 contain moisture, the adhesion force of the pocket layer 3 to the base layer 2 is increased.

  When the pocket layer 3 is superposed on the base layer 2 as described above, a thin Japanese paper is thinly spread on the surface of the base layer 2 and the pocket layer 3 again by the tearing frame 10 (twisting twice).

  Next, as shown in (c), the hydrated paper composed of the base layer 2 and the pocket layer 3 is peeled off from the facing frame 10 and pressed. The pressing may be performed manually or with a pressing machine.

  Next, as shown in (d), the partition plate 12 is extracted from the pressed Japanese paper in an undried state. Then, this undried Japanese paper is dried to produce a Japanese paper with a pocket as shown in FIG. The drying may be natural drying or forced drying with a dryer.

  The Japanese paper with pockets manufactured as described above is integrated in the process of making Japanese paper from papermaking to pressing and drying by superimposing the pocket layers on the separately spread base layers. The seam between the base layer and the base layer is hardly discernible, and it looks as if a pocket is formed on a piece of Japanese paper. Accordingly, it is possible to provide Japanese paper that attracts the interest of consumers and is rich in unexpectedness.

  The above embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention can take various aspects. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pocket layer is overlaid on the base layer, and then the Japanese paper is squeezed again (twisting twice). . However, in order to increase the unity between the base layer and the pocket layer and to make the joints invisible at all, it is a desirable mode to perform twice. In the above embodiment, only one pocket is shown, but Japanese paper having a plurality of pockets can be manufactured.

It is a perspective view which shows the Japanese paper with a pocket obtained by the manufacturing method of this invention. It is an AA line arrow expanded sectional view of FIG. It is a figure which shows the manufacturing process of Japanese paper with a pocket.
