The present invention relates to a braid and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a braid using six braided beads and a braid obtained thereby.

Traditionally, braids have been made using 4, 8 or 16 braids. In this case, although the operation is simple, it is complicated to remember the operating procedure. Braid-like twisted cords have also been developed (for example, Patent Document 1), but there is also the problem that the manufacturing process is complicated.

Therefore, there has been a need for a method and braid for manufacturing a braid that is easier to learn and that includes more complex operations.

The present invention is characterized in that when braiding a braid, six or a multiple of six strings are used to braid the braid. Conventionally, methods of braiding braids using 4, 8, and 16 strings have been known. However, although these methods are simple to operate, they are difficult to understand and cannot be said to be easy to master.
However, it is also possible to weave a braid by changing the number of strings used for each braid, such as 1 for braid 1, 2 for braid 2, and 3 for braid 3. There is no need to use multiple strings. In other words, in the present invention, it is sufficient to knit a braid using six braided beads.

In the present invention, the braid is manufactured through a moderately complicated process, but a round stand with marks is used to make the manufacturing procedure easy to understand. A marudai is a device like the one shown in Figure 1, which has a circular plane with legs underneath, and is used when weaving braids. A commercially available round stand may be used, or a homemade one may be used. There is no particular restriction on the round base as long as the braid of the present invention can be manufactured.

In the present invention, the position of the string is marked. In FIG. 4, markings are made using stickers, but the markings are not limited to stickers, and may be directly written on, or may be marked not only with letters but also with colors, engravings, protrusions, or the like. There are no restrictions on the marking method as long as the position can be determined, and any marking method that is visible to the naked eye can be used. Markings may be made in Braille for people who are blind.

In the present invention, as shown in Figure 4a, the position of the string can be easily specified by marking the round stand with numbers and letters, etc., and the order in which the strings are knitted can be specified with numbers and letters, so even beginners can Braids can be easily manufactured. Although a combination of numbers and alphabetic characters is shown as an example of the mark, hiragana, katakana, kanji, Greek letters, symbols, pictures, etc. may also be used. In short, the type of mark is not particularly limited as long as it clearly shows the braid manufacturing process. For people whose native language is other than Japanese, by marking it with the characters of each country, it will be easier for foreigners from that country and inbound tourists to weave braids. Furthermore, by using the Braille characters of each country, even blind people who primarily use a foreign language other than Japan can weave braids using the method of the present invention.

The present invention is characterized in that the braid is knitted using six (or a multiple of six) strings. When braiding a braid using four strings, the motion becomes very monotonous, and the brain is not activated much by braiding the braid. However, when knitting with six strings, the movements are more complex, which has the effect of activating the brain even more. Therefore, it is thought to be effective in preventing dementia. Additionally, six strings have the advantage of being more economical than using eight or more strings.

The method of weaving the braid in the present invention is described in detail in the Examples, but to put it simply, the braid is tied to the braid, and the opposite end is hung through the hole in the center of the round base. Tie the 6 (multiples of) hanging strings together, thread disposable chopsticks through them, and attach weight to the chopsticks. Regarding the weight, a bag containing a disc-shaped weight or the like is preferably used, but the weight is not particularly limited as long as it can be used for weaving the braid of the present invention. After that, the braided cord is knitted by moving the braided beads. The movement of the braided ball and the braided cord is as described in FIG. At this time, the angle (position of the mark) may be changed as appropriate, without necessarily being at the position shown in FIG. In short, it can be moved so that the braid can be braided.
When attaching weight to disposable chopsticks, it is preferable to bundle the six strings on the disposable chopsticks, tie an octopus string, hook the top of the S-shaped hook on the tied octopus string, and attach the weight to the bottom of the S-shaped hook. .
These steps of the present invention are simpler than conventional methods and can be performed by even a 3-year-old child or a blind person because they are marked with letters, symbols, and/or Braille. In the case of children, weaving braids using the method of the present invention was also found to improve concentration. In addition, the conventional method of using 4 or 8 braids required the use of both hands, but the present invention has the advantage that it can be operated with one hand, so even people who do not have or cannot use one hand can use the braid. It has the advantage of being knittable.

In one embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to use a number of strings that is a multiple of 6, but each string may have the same color, contain different colors, or even have all strings of different colors. good.

Commercially available strings are used as the strings used in the present invention, but preferred materials include threads made of 100% cotton or synthetic fibers made of polyamide, polyester, polyethylene, polyolefin, etc. Not limited to. You can also add a rubber core. Also, genuine leather products such as leather straps, synthetic leather, and artificial leather may be used. Also, silk thread or linen thread may be used.
According to the present invention, Japan's traditional crafts can become even more pervasive among the people, and Japan's wonderful traditional crafts can be even more appealing to the world.

(Example 1)
Materials: 1 round stand (assembled stand, Figure 1), 6 assembled balls (see Figure 2)
・Weight at the center of gravity (Fig. 4d, e, f)
・1 octopus thread tied in a circle ・1 S-shaped hook ・1 disposable chopsticks ・6 threads (6 70cm red threads from Hamanaka Amiami Cotton)

Setting: Tie a knot at the end of the thread and let out about 5 mm of thread.
- Tie a knot at the end of the thread (Figure 3a).
・Tie the thread into the braided ball (Fig. 3b, c). Pass the thread through the hole in the middle of the top plate (Figure 4b).
・Align the center of gravity of the threads and make a knot, leaving about 1cm out. ・Place disposable chopsticks over the knot and between 3 of the threads.
・Tie the top of the chopsticks with octopus thread.
・Connect the octopus thread and the weight at the center of gravity with an S-shaped hook and bring out all the kumi balls (Figure 4e).
・Put stickers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, and B on the top plate of the round stand as shown in the figure for easy identification (Figure 4a).

How to move the threads (braid beads) - Move the braid beads in the order from I to VI in Figure 5 to knit the braid. Repeat this operation. More specifically, (1) Set the string and braid as shown in Figure 5I. The outer part of the string is tied to a kumidamama, and the six strings passed through the hole in the center are tied together at the ends, and disposable chopsticks are passed over them and a weight is attached to the bottom of the chopsticks.
(2) Move the string from position 2 to position B together with the braided ball (Fig. 5II).
(3) Move the string from position 3 to position A together with the braided ball (Figure 5III).
(4) Move the strings from positions 5 and 6 to positions 2 and 3 together with the braided beads (Fig. 5IV). Note that the movement may be carried out along the periphery of the round stand or may be moved over it.
(5) Move the strings at positions 1 and 4 to positions 5 and 6 (Figure 5V).
(6) Move the strings at positions A and B to positions 1 and 4 (Figure 5VI).
Hereinafter, steps (1) to (6) are repeated to produce a braid.
・Finally, remove the thread from the disposable chopsticks and the braided ball, tie the tip of the thread into a knot, and cut the remaining thread with scissors. Completed (Figure 6).

(Example 2)
It may be manufactured as follows.
1. Prepare one ball of Hamanaka Cotton Notok (manufactured by Hamanaka Co., Ltd.).
2. Prepare 12 pieces of thread, each 50cm long.
3. Tie the two threads together into a knot at the ends. Leave the other end alone and do nothing.
4. Make a total of 6 sets of thread. (Two threads make one.)
5. Prepare 6 pieces of Kumidama and attach one thread to each Kumidama.
To attach, put about 2cm below the end of the knot in the knot, wrap it around the braid, and pass the end of the thread between the two knotted threads.
Make 6 of them.
・The work from here on is the same as above, place the prepared kumidama in places 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, hang the thread in the center, and tie a knot. Pass the disposable chopsticks through and tie the octopus thread. Connect the center weight (170g) to the octopus thread using an S-shaped hook, and drop the kumidama downwards, causing the center weight to rise.
・After that, continue knitting in the same 6-piece method as last time, and finish when the kumidama reaches the round surface on the round stand.
・After that, just like last time, cut the thread with scissors and tie both ends into a knot.
-The length is now 15cm.

The present invention can be used in the braided cord manufacturing industry, bridal industry, early childhood education, tourism industry, nursing care industry, etc.
