Abstract

Disclosed is a spherical pearl that uses hemispherical pearls and does not impair the value as a decorative product. A decorative pearl is formed into a spherical pearl by combining a pair of hemispherical semi-pearls. An opaque pattern 16 is formed on the surface of the spherical pearl including the annular boundary 17 formed by the half pearls 11 and 12. This pattern 16 is drawn with high density or darkness in the portion corresponding to the boundary 17 due to a change in the ratio between the area where the pattern 16 per unit area is visually recognized on the surface of the spherical pearl and the area where the pearl layer 13 is visually recognized. The portions other than the boundary 17 are drawn at a low density or thinly. [Selection] Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a method for producing a Kakazarishin beads.

  Pearls are used as jewelry, and aquaculture is also actively performed. The pearl is obtained by forming a pearl layer around the inside of the shell or around the pearl nucleus.

  However, in many cases, if the pearls are not in a beautiful spherical shape, the value as a jewelery tends to be low, and the harvested pearls cannot be used effectively enough.

  In view of the above situation, the present inventor has conceived of obtaining a spherical pearl by combining hemispherical pearls by making a partially deformed pearl hemispherical or using a semicircular pearl. In addition, when the patent investigation was conducted, it became clear that this idea was disclosed by patent document 1. FIG.

Utility Model Registration No. 30288802 Japanese Patent No. 4401573

  However, as described in Patent Document 1, if a spherical pearl is obtained simply by combining hemispherical pearls, the boundary between the hemispherical pearls is exposed, and the value as a jewelry is impaired.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and makes it a main objective to provide the spherical pearl which does not impair the value as a decoration using a hemispherical pearl.

In order to achieve the above object, a method for producing a decorated pearl according to the present invention includes a first step of forming a spherical pearl by combining a pair of hemispherical pearls, and a boundary between the hemispherical pearls. A second step of applying a pattern to the surface of the spherical pearl containing , the first step removing a pearl nucleus from the hemispherical pearl to obtain a hemispherical shell-shaped pearl, The step of filling the inside of the hemispherical pearl with an adhesive, and the pair of hemispherical pearls facing the opening edges of each other before the adhesive is solidified, the pair of hemispherical pearls a step of spread the adhesive to the entire inner spherical space formed by pearls, and solidifying said adhesive in said inner spherical space, characterized Rukoto equipped with.

According to the present invention, the boundary that occurs when a spherical pearl is obtained by combining hemispherical pearls can be made inconspicuous by the pattern, and it is possible not only to suppress deteriorating the value as a decorative product, but also as a decorative product. It is also possible to increase the value by rejecting it. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to make it difficult to break a spherical pearl formed by combining hemispherical pearls by a simple process.

The front view which shows one Embodiment of a decoration pearl. The AA sectional view taken on the line of Fig.1 (a). The front view which shows a pattern example. The figure which shows the manufacturing procedure of a decoration pearl.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a decorated pearl according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a decorated pearl 10, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1A, and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the decorated pearl 10 is formed in a spherical shape by combining a pair of hemispherical pearls (half pearls) 11 and 12. As shown in FIG. 2, each half pearl 11, 12 includes a pearl layer 13 having a hemispherical shell shape. Each pearl layer 13 is formed by removing the pearl nucleus 22 (see FIG. 4) from a semicircular pearl using, for example, a white butterfly shell as a pearl shell, and facing each other so that the respective openings face each other. Is arranged in.

  Semicircular pearls are easier to grow thick pearls in a shorter period of time than pearls, so it is possible to efficiently produce large spherical pearls by combining semicircular pearls into a spherical shape. Become.

  As shown in FIG. 2, each nacreous layer 13 is joined via an adhesive 14 filled inside. The adhesive 14 is filled so as to extend over the entire inner spherical space of each pearl layer 13 and has a spherical shape.

  Here, when semi-pearls in a state where pearl nuclei are packed inside are used, it is conceivable that they are joined together with an adhesive or the like as a hemisphere. In such a configuration, since the boundary between the hemispheres is formed so as to bisect the spherical pearl, there is a concern that when the pearl is dropped, the pearl breaks along the boundary and the pearl is likely to be cut into two. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, the interior of the decorated pearl 10 is made into one member (integrated) by the adhesive 14, and the boundary is not formed. For this reason, even if an impact such as dropping is applied, the decorated pearl 10 is not easily divided into two, and the impact resistance can be improved.

  As the adhesive 14, a dental adhesive composite resin (a mixture of a filler such as glass or ceramic in a synthetic resin) can be used. When filling the entire inner spherical space with the adhesive 14, it is necessary to use the adhesive 14 in a lump, and the dental adhesive composite resin can be dried in a relatively short period of time even if it has a volume ( Curing). For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress suitably the joint defect of the pearl layer 13 by the insufficient drying, and the strength fall of the decoration pearl 10. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a first coating layer 15, a pattern 16, and a second coating layer 18 are sequentially formed on the surface side of the pearl layer 13. In FIG. 2, the first coating layer 15, the pattern 16, and the second coating layer 18 are described with the same thickness as the nacreous layer 13 in order to make the configuration easy to understand. Thinly formed.

  The first coating layer 15 is provided so as to cover the entire surface of the pearl layer 13 in a spherical shape. The first coating layer 15 is formed by a colorless transparent or colored transparent glass coating. The first coating layer 15 functions as a reinforcing layer and also functions as an underlayer for the pattern 16.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an opaque pattern (decoration layer) 16 is formed on the surface side of the first coating layer 15. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the pattern 16 uses a lacquer painting technique in which a predetermined lacquer picture 16 a is drawn with lacquer and gold powder or silver powder (hereinafter simply referred to as “gold powder”) 16 b is spread over the pattern 16, It is possible to use a lacquered picture-like drawing in which a predetermined pattern is drawn by mixing gold powder into lacquer. In addition, in FIG. 1, in order to distinguish the part of the lacquer picture 16a from the part of the gold powder 16b, it is divided into FIG. 1 (a) and FIG. 1 (b).

  The pattern 16 is applied to the surface region of the decorated pearl 10 including the annular boundary 17 formed by the pair of pearl layers 13, and specifically, is applied so as to cover the boundary 17. By covering the boundary 17 with the pattern 16, the boundary 17 can be made inconspicuous. Thereby, not only can the boundary 17 be made difficult to recognize and the appearance can be improved, but also a decorative effect by the pattern 16 can be given, and the value as a decorative article can be increased.

  The pattern 16 is formed so that the region overlapping the boundary 17 is the darkest, and the region other than the boundary 17 has a portion that becomes gradually thinner. That is, the density of the pattern 16 per unit area on the surface of the decorated pearl 10 (the ratio between the area where the pattern 16 is visually recognized and the area where the pearl layer 13 is visually recognized) is different between the boundary 17 and the other portions. doing. Specifically, the lacquer picture 16a is reduced in density and color as the distance from the boundary 17 is increased, or the lacquer picture 16a is not drawn in a portion far away from the boundary 17. Further, in the region where the gold powder 16b is adhered, the amount of adhesion decreases as the distance from the boundary 17 increases.

  In this case, it becomes easy to visually recognize the pearl layer 13 at a portion where the density of the lacquer 16a and the gold powder 16b is low, and the pearl layer 13 can be directly visually recognized at a portion without them. With such a configuration, it is possible to make the boundary 17 difficult to recognize without impairing the glossiness as a pearl. If the pattern 16 has a high density only in the portion corresponding to the boundary 17, the appearance may be unnatural as a decoration. Therefore, a high-density region may be provided in a portion other than the boundary 17.

  Incidentally, although the pattern 16 is schematically shown in FIG. 1, the pattern 16 is aesthetic such as the one using the line drawing shown in FIG. 3 (a) or the gradation pattern shown in FIG. 3 (b). Can be decorated. Thereby, it is possible to impart artistic decoration value while utilizing the elegance as a pearl, and it is possible to improve the attractiveness as a decorated pearl.

  In addition, in FIG. 1 (a), in order to make it easy to understand the difference in density and density, the boundary between the dark part and the thin part is intentionally shown. However, the density and density are actually smooth. The boundary is changed so that the boundary is indistinguishable or difficult to identify.

  As already described, in the present embodiment, the first coating layer 15 made of glass coating is provided as the base layer of the pattern 16. Thereby, the workability | operativity in the formation process of the pattern 16 is improved. That is, the surface of the pearl layer 13 has a very high degree of smoothness and is difficult to fix paint such as lacquer or ink. However, the presence of the first coating layer 15 improves the fixability of the paint and improves work efficiency and yield. Is improved.

  The pattern 16 is not limited to being partially applied to the surface of the decorated pearl 10, but may be applied to the entire surface. When the pattern 16 is partially applied, it is not always necessary to apply the pattern 16 so as to cover the entire boundary 17, and a configuration in which a part of the boundary 17 is covered with the pattern 16 may be adopted. Even in this case, the boundary 17 can be made inconspicuous compared with the case where the pattern 16 is not present. Furthermore, the pattern 16 is not necessarily a single color, and may be configured by combining a plurality of patterns having different colors. Thereby, the boundary 17 can be made less conspicuous.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a second coating layer 18 is provided on the surface side of the pattern 16 so as to cover the entire spherical pearl with the pattern 16 in a spherical shape. Similar to the first coating layer 15, the second coating layer 18 is formed by a colorless transparent or colored transparent glass coating. Thereby, the intensity | strength of the decoration pearl 10 can be raised further, preventing the defect | deletion of the pattern 16. FIG. That is, by laminating a plurality of glass coating layers, not only can the protection of the pearl layer 13 be strengthened, but also the separation of each pearl layer 13 can be suppressed from the outside, and it is suitable for resistance to impact and the like at the time of dropping. It becomes possible to increase to.

  Next, a method for manufacturing the decorated pearl 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a procedure for manufacturing the decorated pearl 10. In FIG. 4 as well, the thicknesses of the first coating layer 15, the pattern 16, and the second coating layer 18 are greatly illustrated for easy understanding of the configuration.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the pearl nucleus 22 is removed from the semicircular pearl 21 while leaving the pearl layer 13. Thereby, the hemispherical space part 23 is formed inside the pearl layer 13, and the hemispherical shell-shaped pearl 24 (pearl layer 13) is obtained.

  Next, a pair of nacreous layers 13 having substantially the same size (peripheral edges at the openings are substantially the same shape) are selected. As shown in FIG.4 (c), the adhesive composite resin as the adhesive agent 14 is filled into the space part 23 of each pearl layer 13 in the state which faced each other.

  In filling the adhesive 14, first, one of the selected pair of nacreous layers 13 is placed on an installation stand with the opening end side facing upward, and an adhesive composite resin is placed inside the nacreous layer 13. Inject. At that time, the resin is put in slightly more than the capacity of the internal spherical space formed when the two pearl layers 13 are opposed to each other. Then, the other pearl layer 13 is covered from above, and both pearl layers 13 are brought close to each other so that the resin is filled in the entire inner spherical space.

  After the adhesive 14 is solidified and the two nacreous layers 13 are joined, the adhesive 14 protruding from the boundary 17 of the nacreous layer 13 is removed as shown in FIG. At that time, the region near the boundary 17 in the pearl layer 13 is polished so that the two pearl layers 13 are smoothly connected at the boundary 17.

  Next, in order to facilitate fixing of the first coating layer 15, the pearl layer 13 is polished with water-resistant sandpaper to form fine irregularities on the entire surface of the pearl layer 13. In addition, fine unevenness | corrugation means what is formed when grind | polishing with the water-resistant sand paper which has a particle size of about 1000-2500, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (e), a glass coating layer as the first coating layer 15 is applied to the entire surface of the spherical pearl polished with the pearl layer 13, and then, as shown in FIG. 4 (f), A pattern 16 is formed on the surface of the first coating layer 15. Finally, as shown in FIG. 4G, a glass coating layer as the second coating layer 18 is applied to the entire surface of the spherical pearl on which the pattern 16 is formed. Thereby, the decorated pearl 10 is completed.

  According to the embodiment described above in detail, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  -Since it was set as the structure which forms a spherical pearl by combining several semi-pearls 11, one spherical pearl can be obtained using a semi-circular pearl. At that time, the boundary 17 can be made inconspicuous by applying the opaque pattern 16 to the surface of the spherical pearl including the boundary of the half pearl 11. Thereby, the appearance of the united pearl can be improved, and the value of the pearl as a decorative product can be increased.

  In the pattern 16, the density per unit area and the change in shading are dark at the boundary 17, and other portions are thinner than the boundary 17. Thereby, the boundary 17 can be made inconspicuous, leaving the glossiness as a pearl. In addition, since there is a change in the density and shading of the pattern 16, it is possible to expect an effect that it is easy to ensure naturalness and artisticness as decoration. For example, in the case of a single line drawing with a uniform density along the boundary 17, a structure with no inflection in density and density can not only express a monotonous pattern, but also give an unnatural impression as a pearl. There is a risk of giving. In this respect, according to the present embodiment, the degree of freedom of expression as a pattern can be expanded, and it is possible to enhance the decorativeness and artisticity.

  The first coating layer 15 is formed on the surface of the pearl layer 13. Thereby, joining of the pearl layer 13 can be hold | maintained from the inside and outside of the pearl layer 13, and it becomes possible to suppress peeling of the pearl layer 13. FIG. In addition, by providing the first coating layer 15 on the entire surface, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of moisture, and it is possible to suppress the alteration and deterioration of the pearl layer 13 due to the adhesion of moisture.

  Furthermore, a pattern 16 is provided on the surface of the first coating layer 15, and the second coating layer 18 is formed on the surface of the pattern 16. In this case, adhesion of the pattern 16 can be facilitated by the first coating layer 15, and peeling of the pattern 16 can be suppressed by the second coating layer 18. Furthermore, by forming both coating layers 15 and 18 on the entire surface, it becomes possible to provide double protection against the ingress of moisture, which can contribute to a further improvement in durability.

  -It was set as the structure which obtains the pearl layer 13 by removing the pearl nucleus 22 from a semicircle pearl. This makes it possible to efficiently produce large spherical pearls.

  -It was set as the structure filled with the adhesive agent 14 so that the whole internal spherical space formed of a pair of pearl layer 13 may be spread. Thereby, even if the decorated pearl 10 is dropped or the like, it can be made difficult to break, and the impact resistance can be improved. Moreover, a simple process of filling the adhesive 14 inside the pair of pearl layers 13 is sufficient, and the productivity can be increased.

  In addition, the decorative pearl described in Patent Document 1 is a semispherical pearl from which the pearl nucleus has been removed and filled with a resin in a hemispherical shape, and the semicircular pearls (hemispheres) filled with the resin are joined together with an adhesive. It is supposed to be configured. In this case, when the pearl is dropped or the like, the pearl easily breaks along the bonding surface, and there is a concern that inconveniences such as bisection and cracks occur deeply. In this respect, in the present embodiment, the interior of the decorated pearl 10 is made into one member by the adhesive 14, so that the above inconvenience can be suitably suppressed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a decorated pearl in which a decorative element such as a precious stone is fitted in a depression formed on the pearl surface. In this decorated pearl, a pearl nucleus is processed into a special shape such as a truncated cone in order to support the decorative element fitted in the depression from the inside of the pearl, and a pair of hemispherical shells are included in a state of enclosing the pearl nucleus. It is set as the structure which couple | bonds a pearl layer (refer the paragraph 0041-0044 column etc. of patent document 2). However, the uneven processing of the pearl nuclei is complicated, and it is also necessary to change the processed shape of the pearl nuclei in accordance with the shape of the precious stones, so it is difficult to standardize the manufacturing process. For this reason, manufacture is not easy and productivity cannot be improved like this Embodiment.

  The dental adhesive composite resin is used as the adhesive 14. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress suitably the strength fall by insufficient drying. Furthermore, since the dental adhesive composite resin has a white system that matches the color of human teeth, even if the internal adhesive 14 is seen through the nacre layer 13, the original color of the pearl is inhibited. There is also an advantage that it is difficult to do.

<Other embodiments>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, at least one pearl nucleus sufficiently smaller than the internal spherical space may be put in the pearl layer 13 together with the adhesive 14. In this case, the pearl nucleus may be obtained by processing the pearl nucleus 22 taken out from the half pearls 11 and 12 or using crushed scraps. It may be used. Thereby, the weight of the decorated pearl 10 (union pearl) can be brought close to the original weight of the pearl, and the weight feeling can be adjusted while effectively utilizing the pearl nucleus.

  (2) Although the first and second coating layers 15 and 18 are provided in the above embodiment, a configuration including only one of them or a configuration not including both may be employed.

  (3) In the above embodiment, the nacreous layer 13 is obtained from the semicircular pearl. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the nacreous layer is obtained by cutting an irregularly shaped pearl into a hemispherical shape. 13 may be obtained. Further, a spherical pearl may be formed by combining a pearl layer 13 obtained from a semicircular pearl and a pearl layer 13 obtained by cutting a deformed pearl.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, a gradation or the like is used as the pattern 16. However, the type of the pattern 16 is not limited to this, and even if a character, a landscape, a geometric pattern, or the like is drawn. Good. Moreover, it is not limited to the thing using coating materials, such as a lacquer and an ink, For example, the sticker on which the seal-like pattern and the pattern were printed may be stuck.

  (5) In the above embodiment, a dental adhesive composite resin is used as the adhesive 14, but other adhesives such as household adhesives and industrial adhesives may be used.

  (6) In the above embodiment, the opening end of the half pearl 11 and the opening end of the half pearl 12 are in contact with each other, but both opening ends are slightly separated (the half pearls 11 and 12 face each other in an approaching state). It is good also as a structure which the adhesive agent 14 interposes among them. In this case, although the adhesive 14 is exposed from between the half pearls 11 and 12, the pearl layer 13 is strongly pressed when the pearl layers 13 are brought close to each other after the injection of the adhesive 14 (see FIG. 4C). Inconvenience that the pearl layer 13 is broken can be suppressed.

  (7) In the above embodiment, the adhesive 14 is spread over the entire internal spherical space formed by the pair of semi-pearls 11 and 12, and the boundary is not formed inside the decorated pearl 10. It is good also as a structure in which a boundary is formed inside. In this case, it is preferable that the positions of the boundaries of the half pearls 11 and 12 do not coincide with each other (the boundaries are discontinuous). Thereby, when the decorated pearl 10 is dropped or the like, it is possible to suppress inconveniences such as the decorated pearl 10 being divided into two parts or a crack being generated deeply.
