Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stuffed toy made of a seal material that can be repeatedly colored and patterned, and further relates to a stuffed toy in which the appearance can be freely changed. Is.

2. Description of the Related Art Animal toys in which the outer skin is sewn with artificial fur cloth (seal fabric) having short or long hair are widely loved by infants and children. They are realistic and creative, and they are richly expressed and have a soft touch that makes you imagine the real thing.
Many of them have cute expressions and appearances, and many of them endure pets for a long time. In addition, an operating mechanism is installed inside, and there is a movement that looks like a real thing, or a movement that is strange and rich in interest.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention No matter how adorable and cute conventional seal animal toys are, they are all completed and lack the elements to create new play by hand from infants and children. Also, no matter how complicated and interesting the actuation by the actuating mechanism is, the eye-catching time is short and in many cases it quickly becomes boring.

The present invention is to provide a variety of new stuffed toys that can be played with activeness by adding the creativity and the cuteness that seal animal toys originally have.

Specifically, it is possible to color with a water-soluble coloring agent,
In addition, it is intended to provide a stuffed toy whose color can be easily washed off by washing with water and whose texture and shape do not change.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention relates to a stuffed toy having a seal cloth as an outer cover, which is subjected to hydrophilic processing so that the amount of adhesion is 0.1 to 3 percent (by weight) with respect to at least the pile fibers of the outer cover, and further its surface. Similarly, the amount of adhesion to the pile fiber is 1 to
A stuffed toy consisting of 4% (weight) of polyester fiber to which a silicon water repellent is added, and a hydrophobic synthetic fiber having elasticity and bulkiness is packed inside, and more preferably, it is bendable. It has a built-in core material. In the present invention, the outer skin of the stuffed animal can be easily colored with a water-soluble colorant and can be washed off with water, and the texture of the outer skin does not change even when washed with water. is necessary.

Therefore, in the present invention, first, hydrophilically-processed polyester fiber is used as at least the pile fiber of the seal material used for the outer cover. For this hydrophilic processing, for example, a low polycondensate of polyethylene glycol and terephthalic acid represented by the following formula is used. It should be noted that these are known by names such as SR1000 (Takamatsu Yushi) and Permalose T (ICI).

In the present invention, it is needless to say that a hydrophilic finishing agent for polyester fiber which is generally commercially available can be used. The amount of the hydrophilic processing agent attached to the fibers varies depending on the type, but about 0.1 to 3% (by weight) is sufficient, and an increase in the amount of the processing agent increases the stickiness and is not preferable.

Further, at least the pile fiber used in the present invention is subjected to the above-mentioned processing, and further, a silicone water repellent agent is added thereto for the purpose of improving the texture and improving the discoloration by washing with water. As the water repellent agent, a water repellent agent, dimethylsiloxane, which is generally used as a texture improving agent, and the like are used. The coating amount of this treatment agent may be about 1 to 4% (weight), and if the coating amount increases, coloring with a water-soluble coloring agent becomes difficult, which is not preferable. It is difficult to obtain the effect. The silicone water repellent can be applied by a general method such as spraying at any stage of raw cotton, thread, and seal cloth.

In addition, as the polyester fiber which is at least the pile fiber in the present invention, one having a cross section of dogbone type, multileaf type, hollow type or the like in addition to an ordinary circular cross section is appropriately adopted.

Further, in the present invention, a hydrophobic synthetic fiber having elasticity and sublime is used as the filling. Here, "having elasticity and sublimation" means that the filling material is given elasticity recovery and sublimation by crimping or the like, and more preferably, an elastic silicone resin is added. . As the type of fiber, a hydrophobic one such as polyester or nylon is used. When such a filling is used, it is well drained after washing with water and dried faster than the one using a polyurethane sponge or the like.

The seal material for the outer skin of the present invention uses the polyester fiber as at least the pile fiber, and is produced by a usual method.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stuffed toy 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof, and 2 is an outer cover, 3 is a pile fiber, 4 is a stuffed cotton, and 5 is a skeleton core material.

For example, in this example, the outer coat is spun yarn 20S made of polyester fiber 1.4d × 51 mm as the base yarn, and the hydrophilic finishing agent (KSF 2000: polyethylene terephthalate hydrophilic finishing material manufactured by Takamatsu Yushi Co., Ltd.) as the pile yarn is 2.5 wt. %, Water repellent (Matsumoto Yushi MSS 1000: silicone water repellent)
A pile weight knitted with a 10 gauge high pile knitting machine using a card sliver made of polyester fiber 6d x 51 mm with a dogbone type cross section with 2.0% by weight attached.
Use 500g / m seal cloth. Moreover, as a fiber for filling, it has a circular hollow cross section, and 6 crimps / 32 mm and 6 crimps / in.
The polyester fiber having the coil crimp of 1. is treated with silicon.

The skeleton core material 5 is formed, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, by coating a metal wire 6 fixedly connected at intersections with a soft synthetic resin 7 such as soft vinyl. The metal wire 6 can be easily bent and has a fixing force necessary for maintaining the bent state, for example, a raw iron wire having a diameter of 1 to several mm can be galvanized and used. As shown in Fig. 4, the metal wire cut into a required length separates the front body line 6a from the front body line 6a from the front body line 6a and separates the front leg line 6c from the front body line 6c. Used by spot welding and fixed connection. This connecting metal wire 6 is coated with a soft vinyl chloride 7 by an injection molding machine. In the case of this molding coating, each end is raised from the peripheral surface and formed into a spherical shape 9a, 9b, 9c. On the spherical ends 9b and 9c of the hind legs, projections 10a 1 and 10a 2 which are also used for retaining are formed at the same time by the same covering member.

Effect The stuffed toy with the outer or outer skin pile finished in white or light color has at least the pile, as described above, which is subjected to the special processing by the limited combination of the hydrophilic processing and the water repellent processing. Then, a desired coloring can be easily performed with a coloring tool such as a water-based ink or a water-soluble crayon, and furthermore, the action based on the water-repellent treatment allows the color to be easily removed by washing with water, and the coloration can be performed again after the color is removed. You can play with color many times.

Further, due to the special processing of the pile, the colored color is less likely to cause color loss or color transfer in a dry state. When washed with water, both the outer skin and the cotton stuff are synthetic fibers, and since they are treated with silicon, changes in texture and transformation are extremely small.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when the skeleton core material as described above is used, the skeleton core material is bent by applying a force to change the shape of a desired part, that is, the head, the front foot, and the rear foot, thereby taking a desired pose. You can make it look different according to your taste.

When using a skeleton core material as illustrated in the figure,
Even if it is repeatedly bent, it does not cause cotton cutting, resists repeated bending due to external force, and exerts its holding power. Further, since each end of the skeleton core material is formed in the terrain by being raised from the peripheral surface, the stuffing fiber and the familiarity are stably maintained, and the ground pressure region from the outside has a wide supporting pressure. Each end surface of the skeleton core material does not penetrate through the outer skin 2 and appear outwards in an area.

As described above, the stuffed toy of the present invention can easily enjoy changes in color and appearance, and is highly valuable as an interior that fosters children's creativity.
