Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a ribbon capable of making, as necessary, artificial flowers differing in shape from one another, and to provide a method for artificial flower making. CONSTITUTION:The artificial flower making ribbon composed of a pair of mutually laminated strips 14 where the respective sides thereof are mutually jointed at several points separated at intervals in the longer direction, and including a string 16 in between the strips so as to be arranged in a movable manner relatively to the strips in the longer direction. This ribbon is cut into pieces of arbitrary length, one end of the resultant pair of strip pieces and one end of the string piece are jointed to each other, and the string piece is moved from that one end toward the other end relatively to the pair of strip pieces, thus accomplishing artificial flower making.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ribbon for forming artificial flowers and a method for forming artificial flowers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pair of strips that are superposed on each other and are joined to each other at a plurality of longitudinally spaced sides, and the strips between the strips. A ribbon for artificial flower formation is used which includes a string arranged so as to be relatively movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to each other, and both strips and the string are joined to each other at one end thereof. According to this, an artificial flower is formed by moving the cord relative to both strips from one end to the other end. Due to the relative movement of the string, one end of both strips moves toward the other end together with one end of the string, and accordingly, both strips form a loop in which each part between these joints constitutes a petal. Change and overlap each other.

[0003]

By the way, the length dimension of the conventional artificial flower forming ribbon is predetermined. Therefore, the artificial flowers obtained all have the same shape. However, it is sometimes preferable that the artificial flower has a different shape depending on the size, type, etc. of the article to which the artificial flower is attached. An object of the present invention is to provide a ribbon and a method for forming artificial flowers, which can form artificial flowers having different shapes as needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An artificial flower forming ribbon according to the present invention is a pair of strips that are superposed on each other and are joined to each other at a plurality of positions where the sides of both strips are longitudinally spaced. A pair of strips,
A string disposed between the two strips so as to be relatively movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the strips. Further, the artificial flower forming method according to the present invention, the artificial flower forming ribbon is cut to an arbitrary length, one end of the pair of strip pieces after cutting and one end of the string piece are joined to each other, the pair of strips It includes moving the cord piece relative to the piece from one end thereof to the other end thereof.

[0005]

According to the present invention, by cutting the artificial flower forming ribbon in the transverse direction thereof, it is possible to obtain a ribbon piece of a desired length in which the pair of strips and the cord are not joined to each other. it can. The ribbon piece can be provided for artificial flower formation by joining one end portion thereof, that is, one end portion of the pair of strip pieces and one end portion of the string piece to each other. Mutual joining at the one end of the ribbon can be easily performed using, for example, a stapler. By moving the cord piece relative to the quantity strip piece from one end thereof to the other end, an artificial flower having a desired number of petals and thus an artificial flower of a desired shape can be formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, an artificial flower forming ribbon 10 according to the present invention is wound around a cylindrical core 12.
The ribbon 10 includes a pair of strips 14 that are superposed on each other and a pair of strips 16 that are disposed between the strips 14 and that extend in the longitudinal direction of the strips 14 and that are superposed on each other.
Including and

Both strips 14 are joined to each other at a plurality of longitudinally spaced positions on each of these sides. Reference numeral 18 designates a mutual joint portion on each side of both strips 14. The string 16 extends between the joints 18 on both sides of both strips 14 and is therefore movable relative to both strips 14 in its longitudinal direction.

The strips 14 and the cords 16 are made of narrow fabric, tape or the like. Both strips 14
They may be bonded to each other with an adhesive or a thread, or may be bonded using heat welding or ultrasonic welding. The width dimension and color of both strips are arbitrarily selected. The number of the strings 16 may be 1 or 3 or more instead of the paired example shown in the figure.

The portion between the joints 18 of the two strips 14, that is, the strip portion 20, is deformed into a loop when artificial flowers are formed and defines the petals of the artificial flowers. The mutual spacing of the joints 18 in the longitudinal direction of both strips 14 defines the length of the loop, and the crossing angle of the line L connecting the joints 18 on both sides of both strips 14 with respect to the strips is Specifies the opening angle with the petals.
The mutual distance between the joints 18 and the transverse angle of the line L are set arbitrarily.

The artificial flower can be formed by using a ribbon piece 22 obtained by cutting the ribbon 10 along an arbitrary transverse line C. The transverse line C is the ribbon 1 instead of the illustrated example.
It can be set to a diagonal line that crosses 0 diagonally, a chevron-shaped chevron line, or the like. Then, one end 22a of the ribbon piece 22
That is, one end of both strip pieces 24 and one end of the string piece 26 are joined. The joining can be easily performed using, for example, a stapler. The joint portion by the stapler is shown by reference numeral 28 in FIG.

Next, the strip piece 2 is attached to both strip pieces 24.
6 is relatively moved from one end to the other end (from the upper end to the lower end as viewed in FIG. 2). As a result, each pair of strip portions 20 facing each other bulges outward and deforms into a loop. Artificial flowers are completed by relatively moving the string piece 26 until the other end approaches the one end.

Since the quantity of the strip portion 20, that is, the quantity of the petals, that is, the shape of the artificial flower depends on the length of the ribbon piece 22, the cut portion of the ribbon 10 is determined according to the shape and size of the article to which the artificial flower is attached. Just do it.
