Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an apparatus for making decorations as decorations or ornaments from tape.

(Prior Art) Small gifts are often decorated with colored tape cut longitudinally and curled by rubbing with the edge of a knife or the like. Conventionally, in order to create such decorations, cutting the tape in the longitudinal direction and pressing with an edge have been done manually.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, the creation of decorations requires a lot of manual labor and is costly.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and, therefore, to provide an instrument with which decorations can be made very easily and quickly.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The configuration that characterizes the decoration making device according to the present invention is that a member for cutting the tape in the longitudinal direction and an edge member for pressing and rubbing the tape are provided in the tape path of the main body, and an edge member for rubbing the tape is provided. The present invention includes a pushing member which is pivotally fixed to the main body and is separated by the elasticity of a spring in order to press against the edge member and strengthen the pressure of the tape.

(Operation of the above means) First, a tape cut to an appropriate length is set in a tape path with one end slightly protruding. Then, with the tape being pressed by the pushing member, one end of the tape is grasped by hand and the tape is pulled out along the tape path, and in the process, the tape is cut in the longitudinal direction by the cutting member and pressed by the edge member. is,
Alternatively, it is cut after being rubbed, and when it is released from the tape path, it curls and becomes a decoration. Therefore, decorations can be created simply by pulling out the tape set in the tape path.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this decoration maker includes a main body 1 consisting of frames and a bottom plate on both sides, and a push member 2 provided on the upper open surface of the main body. The push member 2 is pivotally fixed to the main body 1 by the pin 3. A spring 4 attached to the push member 2 comes into contact with the bottom plate 1a of the main body, and the elastic force pushes the push member 2 towards the main body 1.
I'm starting to move away from it. This spring 4 may be either a leaf spring or a coil spring. Further, a stopper pin 5 attached to the push member 2 is fitted into the long hole 6 of the main body 1, thereby limiting the pivoting range of the push member 2.

A tape passage 10 is formed near the end of the body opposite to the pivot pin 3, and a tape cutting member 11 is installed protruding into the tape passage. Usually, a plurality of cutting members 11 are provided, but in some cases, there may be only one cutting member 11. Preferably, the cutting member 11 consists of a needle as shown, and a hole 12 for receiving the needle 11 is formed at a corresponding position of the pusher member 2 with respect to the cutting member 11 . If the cutting member is configured with a needle in this way, there is an advantage that the structure is simplified. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an edge member 13 is provided in the tape passage 10 adjacent to the needle 11 for rubbing the tape. This edge member 13 is preferably placed immediately after the needle 11.
Preferably, the push member 2 is provided with an adjusting screw 7 by which the forward position of the push member 2 relative to the body 1 is adjusted.

Further, the pushing member 2 is provided with a portion for intensifying the pressure applied by the edge member 13, and in one example, a third portion is provided.
As shown in the figure, it consists of a pair of protrusions 14 and 15 provided oppositely on both sides of the edge member 13,
When the pushing member 2 is pressed against the main body 1, the tip of the edge member 13 is positioned between the protrusions 14 and 15, as shown in FIG. A hole 12 for receiving a needle 11 is formed in one protrusion 1.
5 is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the tape passage 10 enters from the side portion 1b of the main body 1 and extends through the edge member 1.
It is preferable to bend it at a right angle at 3 so that it comes out from the bottom plate 1a, thereby increasing the pressure.

When making decorations using this device, set an appropriate length of tape in the tape path 10, and place the end of the tape at the end of the path 10, for example, on the bottom plate 1.
a, the pushing member 2 is advanced, that is, the fifth
As shown in the figure, the main body 1 is pushed against the elasticity of the spring 4, the tip of the needle 11 serving as the cutting member is inserted into the hole 12, and the tape is pressed against the edge member 13. In this state, the tape can be pulled out by pulling the protruding tape end, and in the process, the tape is cut in the longitudinal direction by the needle 11, and each tape part cut in the longitudinal direction is rubbed by the edge member 13. When the tape is removed from the tape path 10 and released, it curls and is decorated as shown in FIG.
or part thereof is formed. If desired, the tape may be set so that the tape end protrudes from the side of the main body, and then pulled in the opposite direction to the above.

In the above embodiment, the tape is pressed by a pair of protrusions 14 and 15, but as shown in FIG. 16, and as shown in FIG.
You can also press the tape close to the

(Effects of the Invention) Therefore, according to the present invention, it is only necessary to set the tape in a device and pull it out from there, so that decorations can be made extremely easily and quickly. Since the tape is cut and pressed by a cutting member and an edge member provided in the instrument, the tape can be curled appropriately. Moreover, decorations can be made inexpensively. Moreover, this creator can be made into a lightweight type that can be easily handled with one hand.
