Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jigsaw puzzle and a sheet member having a three-dimensional shape, and particularly to a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle and a sheet member by using a paper having a low density and press-working. The purpose is to provide.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a jigsaw puzzle in which a pattern such as a picture or a photograph is completed by connecting a plurality of pieces. In recent years, a great variety of jigsaw puzzles with an extremely high-class feeling have been supplied due to the rapid progress of photographic technology and printing technology.

As jigsaw puzzles, for example, there are jigsaw puzzles of a type that becomes a replica (copying image) when the connection of each piece is completed, and jigsaw puzzles of a type that becomes various landscape photographs when the connection is completed. There are some puzzles that have been devised so that they shine beautifully, and some whose colors change with changes in temperature.

Similarly, posters, postcards, and other sheet members are also provided with beautiful patterns by advanced printing techniques.

[0005]

However, the hobby industry such as jigsaw puzzles has a relatively short life cycle and is highly fashionable, so that it is always required to provide innovative products. Therefore, unlike conventional jigsaw puzzles, the emergence of novel and high value-added products has been strongly desired.

Particularly in recent years, photographs and the like to which the technique of three-dimensional image (3D) is applied have become popular, and three-dimensional products are more favored than planar ones.

[0007]

The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems, and in a jigsaw puzzle composed of a plurality of connectable pieces, the surface of each piece has a design such as a painting or a photograph.

【Example】

An embodiment of the jigsaw puzzle 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 3, the jigsaw puzzle 1 of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of pieces 2, 2.

The plurality of pieces 2, 2, ... Are arranged side by side so that they can be connected. On the surface of each piece 2, 2 ,. When the pieces 2, 2 ... Are connected, paintings, photographs, etc. are completed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Although it is a cartoon design when the connection is completed, it can be any design such as landscape photographs and constellations.

In the jigsaw puzzle 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the thickness of the pieces 2, 2, ... Corresponding to the main character portion 10 of the manga is large,
It is configured so that the main character part 10 of the manga is three-dimensionally raised.

That is, it is possible to change the thickness of at least a part of the pieces so that the pieces have a three-dimensional shape when the connection is completed.

Now, a method of manufacturing the jigsaw puzzle 1 of this embodiment will be described. First, in the first step, paper 1 with low density
00 is prepared, and press working is performed with a mold in which the main character 10 of the manga is engraved. This low-density paper 10
0 has a density of 0.6 g / cm ³ or less. This is because ordinary paper is not compressed even if it is pressed and no step is formed.

In this embodiment, the thickness is 5 mm and the density is 0.3 g.
/ Cm ³ of paper 100 is used. If this paper 100 is pressed, as shown in FIG.
Is formed, the main character portion 10 of the manga is not compressed by the press, and the three-dimensional shape is maintained.

Then, in this embodiment, by press working,
The press portion 200 has a thickness of 2 mm.

These numerical values are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate.

Next, in the second step, printing is performed on the three-dimensionalized paper 100 by the transfer method. By this transfer, the main character portion 10 of the manga is also printed, and similarly, the press portion 200 is also appropriately printed. In addition,
With the transfer printing technology, accurate and distortion-free printing can be performed even on a three-dimensional portion.

Further, in the third step, the pieces are cut into a plurality of pieces 2, 2, ... Like a normal jigsaw puzzle.

The jigsaw puzzle 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above can provide a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle 1 in which the main character portion 10 of the manga is raised.

The three-dimensional portion is not limited to the main character portion 10 of the manga, and can be any pattern. Further, the portion to be three-dimensionalized can be three-dimensionalized with a desired gradient by forming a mold so as to continuously change the height.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the jigsaw puzzle 1 of this embodiment can be housed in the frame member 3 for decoration after the completion of the combination.

In this embodiment, each piece 2, 2, ...
Instead of the paper 100, a polymer material such as rubber, urethane, or plastic can be used.

Next, a modified example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a postcard 1000, on which a cartoon pattern is formed. Postcard 100
0 corresponds to a sheet member, and the thickness of the pieces 2, 2, ... Corresponding to the portion of the main character 10 of the cartoon is large, so that the main character 10 of the cartoon is raised three-dimensionally. Is configured.

The present modification is not limited to the cartoon pattern, and any pattern such as a landscape photograph can be adopted, and the three-dimensional part is not limited to the main character part 10 of the cartoon.

In this modified example, first, in the first step, a paper 110 having a low density is prepared, and press working is performed with a die in which the main character 10 of the manga is engraved. By this press processing, the main character portion 10 of the manga is not compressed and the three-dimensional shape is retained.

Next, in the second step, printing is performed on the three-dimensionalized paper 110 by the transfer method. By this transfer, the main character portion 10 of the manga is also printed, and similarly, the pressed portion is also appropriately printed.

As described above, this modification is the jigsaw puzzle 1
The three-dimensionalization technique is applied to the postcard 1000, and the other description is the same as that of the jigsaw puzzle 1 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

If the sheet member, the post card 1
Not limited to 000, it can be applied to posters and the like.

Further, the sheet member is generally made of paper, but instead of paper, a polymer material such as rubber, urethane or plastic may be used.

[0046]

[Effect] According to the present invention configured as described above, in a jigsaw puzzle including a plurality of connectable pieces, a part of a design such as a painting or a photograph is applied to the surface of each piece. When the connection of each of these pieces is completed, the painting, photograph, etc. are completed, and by changing the thickness of at least a part of each of the pieces, a three-dimensional shape is formed when the connection of each piece is completed. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a high-value-added jigsaw puzzle in which a part of the design is three-dimensionalized.

In the present invention, the density of each piece is 0.6.
Since it is composed of paper of g / cm ³ or less, there is an effect that the paper can be easily compressed by press working and a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle can be provided.

The sheet member of the present invention has a character on the surface,
In a sheet member such as a poster or postcard on which a design such as a painting or a photograph is drawn, at least a part of the design such as the painting or the photograph applied to the surface of the sheet member such as the poster or the postcard has a thickness By changing,
Since it has a three-dimensional shape, it is fundamentally different from the conventional sheet member, and there is an effect that a novel postcard or the like can be provided.
