Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a patterned ornament provided with various patterns by mounting a transparent container, a granular member and the pattern forming layer held between the transparent outer peripheral wall of the transparent container and the granular member. CONSTITUTION:A transparent glass container 3 having a narrow mouth 3a is prepared and a film 1 to which an ink layer 2 having a wavy pattern is formed is inserted in the container 3. The inserted film 1 expands to a certain degree by its own elasticity and, thereafter, by filling the container 3 with natural sand 4 having a definite particle size, the film 1 is brought to a state of coming into close contact with the transparent outer peripheral side wall 3c of the container 3. Thereafter, when the transparent container 3 is heated from the outside to completely melt the film 1, the molten film penetrates in the sand 4 and, after the film 1 disappears, a state of leaving the ink layer 2 between the transparent outer peripheral side wall 3c of the container 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the sand 4 filling said container 3 is formed. When a plug is applied, a patterned ornament having a wavy pattern formed to the interior 3b thereof can be obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention is characterized in that characters, figures, symbols, colors, patterns, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as patterns) are formed on the surface of a granular material such as sand filled in a transparent container. This invention relates to a patterned ornament. The present invention also relates to a manufacturing method for manufacturing such a patterned ornament.

(Prior art) A patterned ornament in which a transparent container is filled with granular materials such as sand of various colors in layers for the purpose of interior decoration, etc., and the resulting sand pattern can be admired through the transparent container. It has been known. This type of ornament has the disadvantage that the types of patterns that can be created are limited. Therefore, a method of drawing a certain pattern on the inner peripheral surface of a transparent container with paint or the like and then filling the container with granular materials such as sand has been considered.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when drawing a pattern on the inner surface of a transparent container,
In the case of a container with a wide mouth, there is not much of a problem, but in the case of a container with a narrow mouth, it is difficult to draw a desired pattern by inserting a brush or the like into the container through the mouth, and it is also very inefficient. I don't like it because it's bad.

The object of the present invention is to address these conventional problems and provide a method for manufacturing patterned ornaments that makes it possible to easily form any pattern on the inner circumferential surface of a transparent container filled with granular materials. The aim is to propose the following. Another object of the present invention is to provide a patterned ornament with a novel structure manufactured by this method.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, in the method of the present invention, a film is formed using a thermofusible material such as a screw material, and silk is coated on the surface of the film. Using screen printing or the like, a pattern forming layer of a certain design made of a pattern forming material such as ink is laminated. Next, this film is inserted into a transparent container and brought into contact with the transparent outer peripheral wall of the container with the pattern forming layer side facing inward, and then a granular material such as sand is placed inside the transparent container. Fill. Thereafter, the film placed inside the transparent container is heated and melted by heating the transparent container from the outside.

According to this method, after the film placed in the transparent container melts and permeates into the granular member, only the pattern forming layer previously formed on the film surface remains. That is, in the transparent container, the pattern forming layer is held between the inner surface of the transparent outer peripheral wall of the container and the outer peripheral surface of the granular material filled in the container. Therefore, unless a strong vibrating force is applied, such as by strongly shaking the container itself, the pattern forming layer is retained between them. In this way, patterned figurines are manufactured.

Moreover, here, the patterned ornament manufactured by the method of the present invention has a transparent outer peripheral wall of a transparent container as described above,
It has a novel structure in which a pattern forming layer is held between the particulate material filled therein.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, a rectangular film 1 made of a screw material is formed. Thereafter, an ink layer 2 constituting a certain pattern, in this example a three wave pattern, is formed on the surface 1a of the film 1 by silk screen printing.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1, a transparent glass container 3 with a narrow opening 3a is prepared, the film 1 is rolled up so that the ink layer 2 is on the inside, and the film 1 is inserted into the container from the opening 3a of the container. insert. The film 1 inserted into the interior 3b of the container 3 expands to some extent due to its own elasticity. After this, natural sand 4 of a certain particle size is filled into the interior 3b of the container from the mouth 3a of the container.

By filling the sand 4, the film 1 comes into close contact with the transparent outer peripheral side wall 3C of the container.

After this, the transparent container 3 is heated from the outside and the film 1 is heated.
The temperature is maintained at or above the melting temperature for a certain period of time to completely melt the film 1. As a result, the melted film 1, ie, the screw material, penetrates into the sand 4 filled. After the film 1 disappears in this way, the ink layer 2 remains between the transparent outer peripheral side wall 3c of the container and the outer peripheral surface of the sand 4 filled inside, as shown in FIG. It is formed.

Therefore, if the stopper 7 is then placed in the mouth 3a of the container, a patterned ornament 10 having a wavy pattern formed inside is obtained, as shown in FIG.

Note that this example shows an example of the method of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention to this example. Therefore, for example, the material of the film is not limited to screw material, and the method of adding patterns to the surface of the film is not limited to silk screen printing. Furthermore, the filler may be artificial sand instead of natural sand, or may be filled with powder having very small particle size. Furthermore, even if it is a transparent container, it is not necessary that the entire container be transparent, and it is of course possible to use a container in which only the part where the pattern is to be displayed is transparent.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a pattern forming layer made of ink or the like is laminated on a thermofusible film, and this is heated and melted in a transparent container. Unlike other methods, various patterns can be easily applied, and therefore, patterned ornaments with various patterns can be realized.
