Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a wire-containing mizuhiki, and more particularly to a flat mizuhiki in which the linear shape of the mizuhiki is flattened.

(Conventional technology) Mizuhiki originated in the distant Asuka period, and although it has changed with the times, it is still used today to express the spirit of gifts, blessings, gratitude, and contracts, starting with ceremonial occasions. It is popular as a decorative item to express etiquette.
It has been inherited to the present.

There are two types of mizuhiki: traditional hand-made ones and machine-made ones, but since there is almost no difference in the process between the two, we will briefly explain the traditional hand-made ones below.

Mizuhiki was originally called ``Kurenai'' and was made by dyeing red and white strings made of hemp or cotton twisted together, but Mizuhiki from later generations to the present has been made using machine-made washi paper made from pulp. The material was cut into small strips and paper strings (paper twist) were twisted.

This paper string needs to have appropriate hardness and flexibility, and considering the need to have a glossy background and good color development of the dye applied on it, the paper is made from a mixture of seaweed glue and white clay. The paper is coated on the string and squeezed, then the paper string is made thinner and harder, and after going through a process called ``koki'' that brings out the luster of the paper string and the whiteness of the ground, it is dried in the sun to create a pure white mizuhiki. I was doing it. Next, the Mizuhiki is colored with colorful dyes using a brush and dried again to create a Mizuhiki suitable for various uses.Finally, after going through a process called ``Kenuchi'' to tie knots of the size, It was cut with scissors to create the final product (dye-seki mizuhiki).

On the other hand, there are many types of mizuhiki these days, such as colored mizuhiki in which twisted paper is completely colored, gold and silver mizuhiki in which sterling silver foil is wrapped around twisted paper, and gold and silver colored mizuhiki in which aluminum foil, Tetron vapor-deposited film, etc. are used. There are many other types of mizuhiki, such as silk wrapped mizuhiki, bellows mizuhiki, sunago mizuhiki, gold needle mizuhiki, and gold red mizuhiki, which are made to suit various uses depending on the color, pattern, and size.

Hitherto, wire-filled mizuhiki has been known as having relatively good formability, and as this wire-filled mizuhiki,
For example, a mizuhiki (Utility Model Publication Act 56-32557~
No. 8, Utility Model No. 61-164294), etc.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the traditional handmade mizuhiki as mentioned above, the above-mentioned manufacturing requires skill, and ceremonial items such as crane, turtle, pine, bamboo, plum, etc. that could only be made by skilled workers. Various other shapes could not be easily created even by an amateur.

On the other hand, in the case of wire-filled mizuhiki, while it is easy to shape and work, since the wire is interposed in each paper twisted core, the core material is twisted tightly into a nearly perfect circle with the wire as the axis. , and such outer covering material has silk thread, etc.
Coupled with the fact that it is twisted and wound, even if the core material has excellent strength and shape retention, it is not suitable for bending, and the linear shape remains almost perfectly circular, making it difficult to flatten. Nakatsuta.

Therefore, multiple cord-like mizuhiki are lined up and formed into a narrow band shape, and these bands are used to create ``musubimono'' (fourth knot).
(see figure), 5 to 7 mizuhiki are required to obtain a standard narrow knot, and as mentioned above, it has excellent shape retention, so it can be folded. Processing, especially sharp bending, is required, and there is a problem that it is not easy to adapt to crafts such as accessories and other Western-style knitting without cutting or gluing. Ta.

The present invention was made in view of these problems, and it is possible to easily obtain a standard width of "knots" with a small number of knots, and also to create a useful flat water drawer that is excellent for bending, especially sharp bending. By providing Mizuhiki, we have made a significant departure from the traditional fields in which it has been used, and we are providing a useful material that can be applied not only to Japanese-style crafts, but also to Western-style crafts, handcrafts, wrapping materials, etc. The purpose is to

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the gist of the present invention is such that a vapor-deposited plastic film, a metal film, etc. In a mizuhiki made by wrapping an outer covering material such as foil, the core material is composed of a plurality of paper strands arranged in parallel in a bonded state and a wire arranged in the joint valley of each paper strand, and It consists in a flat wire in which the outer covering material is wrapped around the outer periphery of the material to form a linear shape.

(Function) Since the mizuhiki is formed into a flat shape, it is possible to easily obtain "knots" of standard width with a small number of pieces,
The core material is a plurality of paper twisted cores arranged in parallel in a bonded state,
Since the wire is placed in the joint valley of each paper strand, the wire is not passed through each paper strand but is placed in each valley on the outer surface. It is not twisted tightly around the axis, and since it is flat, it is easy to emphasize lines and is excellent in bending, and is particularly suitable for bending at acute angles.

In addition, if the outer periphery of the core material is coated with the outer covering material without tightly wrapping it, it will be easier to flatten the core material, and it will also be suitable for bending. By doing so, the core materials are not offset in the outer covering material and can be evenly arranged within the outer covering material, thereby eliminating deformation and deformation of the outer covering material in the width direction.

(Example) Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, A indicates a flat mizuhiki according to the present invention, and this flat mizuhiki A is made up of a paper twisted core 1, a wire 2, and a jacket material 3.

The paper twisted core 1 is made by cutting Japanese paper, kraft paper, etc. into narrow strips (rectangular shapes) and twisting them to a thickness of approximately 0.8 to 2 mm. 1, 1... are arranged in parallel in a bonded state, and wires 2, 2... having appropriate hardness are arranged respectively in the valleys created between each paper twisted core 1, 1... to constitute the core material B. There is.

The wires 2, 2... are made of materials such as steel wire, iron wire, copper wire, etc., approximately 0.2 to 0.4 mm, and are
It goes without saying that various thicknesses can be selected depending on the purpose. Further, in this embodiment, the wires 2, 2... are arranged in the respective valleys between the paper twisted cores 1, 1... with the front and back facing each other. It may be placed only in the valley.

Further, an outer covering material 3 is wound around the outer periphery of the core material B in an S-twist manner with an adhesive 4 interposed therebetween, and its linear shape is formed into a flat shape. As the material for the outer cover material 3, a film material is used as appropriate. For example, synthetic resin films such as polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polycarbonate, and vinylon, aluminum, gold,
A metal-deposited film is used in which metals such as silver, chromium, nickel, zinc, and tin are deposited by conventional means. Furthermore, by arranging the wires 2, 2... in the valleys between the paper twisted cores 1, 1..., the wires 2 do not swell on the surface even when the sheathing material 3 is wound around the outer periphery of the core material B. The surface can be molded flat without any extrusion. Furthermore, if it is desired to make streaks appear on the surface of the jacket material 3 depending on the application, wires 2, 2, etc. having a diameter larger than the valley (depth) may be interposed.

Since the horizontal wire A constructed in this way has a flat linear shape, it is possible to easily obtain "knots" of a standard width with a small number (about 3), and also with wires 2, 2. ... is not passed through each paper twisted core 1, 1..., but is placed in each valley on the outer surface, so that the core material B as in the past is twisted tightly with the wires 2, 2... as the axis. Because it is flat and easy to emphasize lines, it is particularly suitable for bending at sharp angles, so it is used as a gold decoration for congratulatory gifts, as well as pine, bamboo, plum, crane, and tortoise motifs. In addition to traditional crafts such as betrothal decorations, it can be easily adapted to Japanese-style ornaments such as sailing ships and treasure ships, Western-style crafts such as accessories, handcrafts, and wrapping materials.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a core material B' is formed by arranging at least one wire 2', 2', . . . The linear shape may be formed into a flat shape by pressing and flattening the covering material 3' such as paper, vapor-deposited plastic film, metal foil, or the like.

Hiramizuhiki A' constructed in this way can be easily pressed and flattened by covering the outer periphery of the core material B' with the outer sheathing material 3' without tightly winding it, and is also easier to bend. Also, by arranging one or more wires 2', 2'... in parallel as the core material B', the core material B' is not shifted in the outer covering material 3', and the outer covering material 3' Since they can be arranged evenly inward, there is no deformation or loss of shape in the width direction of the outer cover material 3'.

(Effect of the invention) The present invention is constructed as described above, and the core material is composed of a plurality of paper strands arranged in parallel in a joined state and a wire placed in the joint valley between each paper strand. In addition, since the wire is formed flat, it is easy to obtain "knots" of standard width with a small number of wires, and the wire is placed in each valley on the outer surface instead of being passed through each paper strand core. Because of this, the core material is not twisted tightly around the wire as in the past, and because it is flat, it is easy to emphasize the lines and is excellent in bending, especially suitable for bending at acute angles. It has now become possible to provide a useful flat mizuhiki that can be used not only as traditional ornaments, but also as a material for Western-style crafts, handcrafts, and wrapping materials.

In particular, the invented flat mizuhiki is a novel wrapping material that departs from the image of traditional Japanese mizuhiki, and can be adapted to Western culture, providing a versatile material that will be appreciated by people from other countries as well. It is.

As described above, the horizontal water drawing of the present invention has excellent advantages, and implementing the present invention has enormous practical value.
