Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The embroidery accessory 1 according to the present embodiment includes an embroidery body 5 and a metal component 8 for wearing the embroidery body 5. In this embodiment, the embroidery accessory 1 is an earring, and the metal parts 8 are a jump ring and a piercing pin.

Here, so-called embroidery is made by sewing embroidery thread onto a base cloth, which is a basic cloth, and is composed of a base cloth and embroidery thread, but in this embodiment, the embroidery thread is attached to the water-soluble base cloth 10. 21 and 22 to form the embroidery 20, the water-soluble base fabric 10 is removed, leaving only the embroidery 20.

In particular, this embodiment is characterized in that by embroidering the hot-melt sheet 15 superimposed on the water-soluble base fabric 10, the embroidered body 5 is difficult to fall apart after the water-soluble base fabric 10 is removed. .

Next, a method for manufacturing embroidery accessories will be explained. The flowchart in FIG. 2 shows the steps of a method for manufacturing an embroidery accessory. First, in S1, a water-soluble base fabric 10 and a hot melt sheet 15 are layered. At this time, the hot melt sheet 15 is placed on the lower side, and the water-soluble base fabric 10 is placed on the upper side.

Here, the water-soluble base fabric 10 is a water-soluble nonwoven fabric sheet, and has the property that when immersed in water, the fibers disintegrate into pieces and dissolve in water. Further, the hot melt sheet 15 is a nylon hot melt sheet having a thickness of 50 μm.

Of course, the materials of the water-soluble base fabric 10 and the hot melt sheet 15 can be changed as appropriate. Other materials can be used. Further, as the material of the hot melt sheet 15, other materials used as hot melt adhesives, such as urethane, polyester, and EVA, can be used as appropriate. As the material for the hot melt sheet 15, it is desirable to use a water-insoluble material.

Subsequently, in S2, the water-soluble base fabric 10 with the hot melt sheet 15 layered underneath is set in an embroidery machine, and an embroidery operation is performed in which a desired pattern is embroidered onto the water-soluble base fabric 10. As the embroidery threads 21 and 22 set in the embroidery machine, polyester thread is used for both the embroidery upper thread 21 and the embroidery lower thread 22. The material of the embroidery threads 21 and 22 may be any water-insoluble material that does not dissolve in water and is heat-resistant and resistant to heat, and materials other than polyester may be used as appropriate.

3 and 4 are diagrams showing images of embroidery work, in which the solid line indicates the embroidery upper thread 21 and the dashed line indicates the embroidery lower thread 22. FIG. 3 is a perspective view seen from above, which is the front side, and FIG. 4 is a bottom view, seen from below, which is the back side.

Therefore, in FIG. 3, the water-soluble base fabric 10 shown by hatching is installed on the upper side (front side), and the hot melt sheet 15 shown with a random dot pattern is installed on the lower side (back side), and in FIG. The side hot melt sheet 15 is exposed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the embroidery 20 is constructed by sewing together an embroidery needle thread 21 and an embroidery bobbin thread 22. Normally, the embroidery needle thread 21 is guided by the embroidery needle 40 and penetrates both the water-soluble base fabric 10 and the hot melt sheet 15 from above, so it is exposed on both the front and back sides of the water-soluble base fabric 10. However, the embroidery bobbin thread 22 exists only on the back side of the water-soluble base fabric 10.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the state after the embroidery work of S2 is completed, and is a diagram seen from the front side. In the figure, embroidery 20 with the same predetermined design is formed at six locations, and the water-soluble base fabric 10 located on the front side is exposed.

Subsequently, in S3, the hot melt sheet 15 other than the portion where the embroidery 20 is applied is removed using tweezers. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the removal process of S3, and is a diagram seen from the back side.

Since the hot-melt sheet 15 is located on the lower side (back side) of the water-soluble base fabric 10, the hot-melt sheet 15 is accessed from the back side of the water-soluble base fabric 10, and the hot-melt sheet 15 is manually heated using tweezers or the like. Pinch and remove the sheet 15.

In addition, in the embroidery work step S2, the embroidery needle 40 that guides the embroidery needle thread 21 of the embroidery 20 penetrates the water-soluble base fabric 10 and the hot melt sheet 15. Therefore, a large number of small holes are formed in the portion of the hot melt sheet 15 where the embroidery 20 is formed.

Therefore, by accessing the hot melt sheet 15 from the back side of the water-soluble base fabric 10 and using tweezers or the like to pinch and pull the hot melt sheet 15 in the area other than the embroidery 20, the hot melt sheet 15 can be attached to the outer edge of the embroidery 20. It is easily torn at the small hole formed along the ridge and can be removed relatively easily.

In S3, all the hot melt sheet 15 exposed on the back surface of the part other than the embroidery 20 is removed. Of course, the removal of the portions of the hot melt sheet 15 other than the embroidery 20 may be performed manually using an instrument other than tweezers, or may be performed automatically using a machine.

Subsequently, in S4, the product from which the hot melt sheet 15 was removed in S3 is heat pressed using a heat press machine. Specifically, it is pressed for 40 seconds at a temperature of 150°C. Generally, when the hot melt sheet 15 is heat pressed, thermal fusion is performed. In this embodiment, the hot melt sheet 15 exposed on the back surface of the water-soluble base fabric 10 is removed, and the hot melt sheet 15 remains between the back surface of the water-soluble base fabric 10 and the embroidery 20. It's just the sandwiched part.

Therefore, when the heat press is performed in S4, the hot melt sheet 15 hidden in the embroidery 20 is heated and melted, and when it is cooled and hardened after the heat press, the embroidery 20 and the water-soluble base fabric 10 in contact with the hot melt sheet 15 are heated and melted. wear it. More specifically, in the embroidery 20, the hot melt sheet 15 is applied to the entire needle thread 21 and bobbin thread 22, which are located on the back side of the water-soluble base fabric 10, among the needle thread 21 and bobbin thread 22 that constitute the embroidery 20. By adhering and curing, the upper thread 21 and lower thread 22 on the back side are firmly solidified.

Next, proceeding to S5, after heat pressing, the article cooled to room temperature is immersed in water or hot water, and the portion of the water-soluble base fabric 10 other than the embroidery 20 is removed. For example, removal of the water-soluble base fabric 10 by immersion is carried out by manually kneading the above-mentioned material soaked in water or hot water. Most of the water-soluble base fabric 10 is removed except for a portion. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the removal work of the water-soluble base fabric 10 in S5.

In this way, in S3 and S5, the water-soluble base fabric 10 and the hot melt sheet 15 other than the embroidery 20 are removed, and only the embroidery 20 remains, and the upper thread 21 and lower thread that make up the embroidery 20 are removed. Only a small amount of pieces of the hardened hot melt sheet 15 and water-soluble base fabric 10 remain in the gaps and insides of the sheets 22. In this embodiment, the embroidery 20 and a small amount of the water-soluble base fabric 10 and hot melt sheet 15 remaining inside the embroidery 20 are collectively referred to as an embroidery body 5.

In S6, the embroidered body 5 is naturally dried to remove moisture, and after drying, in S7, the shape of the embroidered body 5 is adjusted using a hot cutter. FIG. 8 is a front view of the embroidered body 5 after shaping in S7. Next, in S8, the embroidery accessory 1 is completed by attaching a metal part 8 such as a jump ring for attaching the embroidery body 5 to the body or the like.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the embroidery 20 is formed after the hot melt sheet 15 is stacked on the back side of the water-soluble base fabric 10, and the hot melt sheet 15 is removed from the portion other than the embroidery 20, heat press is applied, and the water-soluble By removing the nonwoven fabric sheet with water, it is possible to manufacture an embroidery body 5 in which the embroidery needle thread 21 and the embroidery bobbin thread 22 constituting the embroidery 20 are heat-sealed by the hot melt sheet 15, and the embroidery thread 21 is removed after embroidery. , 22, which is hard to collapse and is sturdy can be provided.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the shape and size of each member constituting the embroidery accessory can be modified as appropriate, and the embroidery object manufactured according to the present invention can also be used for purposes other than accessories.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the base fabric is entirely water-soluble, and almost all of the water-soluble base fabric is removed during the production of the embroidery body, but in some cases, an insoluble base fabric is used, and some of the base fabric remains. Good for the body too.

Further, in the above embodiment, the hot melt sheet was placed under the water-soluble base fabric to perform embroidery, but the hot melt sheet may be placed over the water-soluble base fabric to perform the embroidery. However, since there is only the embroidery upper thread on the upper side of the base fabric, in order to make the embroidery object more sturdy, a hot melt sheet is placed on the lower side of the water-soluble base fabric where the embroidery upper thread and the embroidery lower thread are present. is desirable. Furthermore, by placing the hot melt sheet under the water-soluble base fabric and performing embroidery, it is possible to prevent the hot melt from protruding onto the surface of the embroidered body.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the removal of the hot melt sheet in areas other than embroidery is performed before the heat press process, but it may be performed after the heat press process. However, if this is done after heat pressing, it is desirable to remove the hot melt sheet before it is completely cooled and hardened.
