Abstract

A multifunction imitating-paper rattan body mainly comprise an imitating-paper rattan body containing a strengthened core inside. Said imitating-paper rattan body is a structure formed integrally, which resists wet, heat, and drawing. And, in the process of forming, the spiral body is formed integrally on the external diameter of the imitatin-paper rattan body, so that the imitating-paper rattan body becomes the structure with high structural strength.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a multifunction imitating-paper rattan body, especially relating to a multifunction imitating-paper rattan body.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Because of industrialization of a society and an industrial and commercial life becoming a main stream of a society gradually, factories and office buildings stand in great numbers, which make all kinds of plants disappear gradually. It is more and more difficult to see a large number of green plants and it is even necessary to go to botanical gardens to see them. On the contrary, reducing of plants bring a phenomenon that a thing is valued if it is rare. When more and more customers buy utensils, they like to buy what is made up of plants. For example, a chair, whose cushion is made of rattan, is liked by the consumers because of having a special sense of material. Reducing of plants also make prices of utensils formed by plants increase.

Besides, utensils made up of rattan also take more time on manufacturing and forming. The reason is that it costs a lot of cost correspondingly on the process of picking, cleaning, sunning, processing and weaving by hand during making up utensils with rattan for fear of the utensil being used over a long period of time to have a moldy phenomenon due to wet and resulting the structural strength of the utensil weakened for a long time. Thus, prices of utensils made up of plants still can't be reduced. Furthermore, the material of paper rattan needs to use more special paper material. Moreover, by means of chemical processing, the tensile force of the paper rattan is strengthened and the paper rattan has the function of avoiding mildew and resisting wet. Therefore, the industrial and commercial circles develop a kind of imitating-rattan body made of papers afterwards (shown as FIG. 1), which is formed into an imitating-rattan body by a kind of the strengthened

paper material

10 in the way of spiral twining. And said strengthened paper material 10 wraps a strength core 11 inside to attain the benefit of strengthening said imitating-rattan body made of papers to endure the tensile force.

Therefore, although the prior imitating-rattan body made of papers can get to the structure similar to the real rattan without using the real rattan, everyone knows that sources of paper materials are still plants and procedures of picking, cleaning, sunning, processing etc. still can not be omitted on the process of making the imitating-rattan body made of paper. Further, due to the problem of cost, paper material can't control the uniform structural strength of the whole piece of paper body. Thus, even if the imitating-rattan body made of paper can be formed in twining by machines, the situation of cracking and broking of the paper material on the process of twining and forming, which results from the tensile force and the twisting force, still belongs to what can't control and it costs a lot of cost correspondingly because the structural strength of the whole piece of paper material is not uniform relatively. Therefore, how to design an imitating-rattan body which can cater to the needs of consumers and reduce the production costs is the direction that the relevant commercial and industrial circles need to develop.

The inventor of the present application longed for improving and innovating in view of every drawback derived from making up all kinds of utensils with the real rattan body, the imitating-rattan paper body and so on. He made extraordinarily painstaking efforts to devote himself to the study of science many years, and achieved this multifunction imitating-paper rattan body finally.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to provide a multifunction imitating-paper rattan body, which mainly comprise an imitating-paper rattan body containing a strengthened core inside. Said imitating-paper rattan body is a structure to be formed integrally, which resists wet, heat, and drawing. And, in the process of forming, the spiral body is formed integrally on the external diameter of the imitatin-paper rattan body, so that the imitating-paper rattan body becomes the structure with high structural strength.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIG. 2, the present invention provide a multifunction imitating paper rattan body, which mainly comprises imitating-[0020] paper rattan body 20 containing a strengthened axle core 21 inside. By means of thread drawing with machines, said imitating paper rattan body 20 is a structure to be formed integrally in the non-plant material, such as plastic etc., which especially have the property of resisting wet, heat, and drawing. And, in the process of forming, the spiral body 22 is formed on the external diameter of the imitating-paper rattan body 20. By means of the design of the spiral body 22, the drawing-resistant strength of the imitating-paper rattan body 20 can be increased effectively.
Therefore, because the multifunction imitating-[0021] paper rattan body 20 of the present invention uses non-plant materials, the non-plant materials which don't need to be picked, cleaned and don't be worried about mildrewing can allow the present invention to be reduced the procedures of sunning and avoiding mildrew. The most important thing is that the structural strength of the present invention is regular because the present invention doesn't use the prior paper material during the process of forming. No doubt, the structural strength gained by thread drawing and forming has no shortcoming that the prior paper material is easy to be broken, and the design of the spiral body forming on the external diameter makes the present invention to have visual sense of material especially. Therefore, the chair formed in the present invention has the material of real rattan, besides, the structural strength of it is beyond doubt. Furthermore, before the present invention is formed in thread drawing, colours can be added into the thread raw material for the imitating-paper rattan body 20 formed in the present invention to attain the discoloring effect which the real rattan can't attain.
Compared to the above prior method, the multifunction imitating paper rattan body provided by the present invention have the following advantages even more. [0022]
1. The present invention is not made of plant materials. There is not any nature shortcoming resulted from plant materials, so the cost of processing can be reduced largely. [0023]
2. Because the present invention is formed integrally by machines, the yield is stable and the variety is large. It conforms to modem industrial applications and modern trends. [0024]
Many changes and modifications in the above described embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without departing from the scope thereof. Accordingly, to promote the progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims. [0025]

Claims
