Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vegetable ornament used over a wide range such as a broach, a picture or the like, in which a petal has no fear of being either decolorized or discolored with time under the state that their flexibility is kept as it is. SOLUTION: The petal is picked at the step 1, heated and dried at the step 3 by being imbedded in a powder desiccant, applied with an antiseptic at the step 4 and coated with a resin which keeps its flexibility even after being dried, at the step 5. After the above coating treatment is repeated, the petal is dried and finally a check pin is attached in the petal. When a plurality of petals are constituted to be combined together, the resin coating treatment is further executed. Thus, even when the petals are employed in a broach, the petals keep their flexibility and neither decolorize nor discolor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for processing and using petals and leaves as accessories such as broaches, bouquets and corsages, and for placing them in a picture frame to be used as a pictorial one or transparent. Decorative items that can be used widely as room interiors, such as those that can be used as ornaments by placing them in a transparent glass container or on a piece of glass, related to the method of producing plant-based ornaments belonging to the category of so-called arts and crafts It is.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as ornaments of this kind, there are those which use fresh flowers and dried flowers and make them corsages, or arrange dried flowers in glass containers and decorate them. .

However, the freshness of fresh flowers decreases in a short time, and those using dried flowers decolorize or discolor over time. Therefore, it is necessary to always use a discoloration inhibitor. It is. Also, dried flowers are easily broken and cannot be used for broaches and the like.
Of course, dried flowers are those that have completely lost their flexibility and are far from fresh flowers. Further, a type in which a dried flower is sealed in a transparent glass container has been developed. However, as described above, since the color is decolored or discolored, a gas for preventing discoloration must be injected and sealed. In this case, like a painting, it is not suitable for use on ornaments that only surround the periphery with a picture frame and protect the front with transparent glass, that is, it can not be used for ornaments that can not be sealed, so the scope of application as ornaments is limited. That is the fact. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to use as a brooch, a bouquet, a corsage, as well as a picture, by arranging it in a picture frame, with the petals remaining flexible. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a vegetable-based ornament such as an ornament which is disposed in a transparent glass container and can be widely used as a room interior. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a decorative article which is not likely to be decolorized or discolored over time.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a first feature of the present invention relating to a method for producing a vegetable ornament is to embed a vegetable material in a powdery desiccant and heat it. After drying, the entire surface of the dried material is coated with resin, and after repeating this coating several times,
It is part of the product. This plant material is not limited to flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses and orchids, but also includes leaves and grasses. The second feature is that the plant material is buried in a powdery desiccant and dried by heating, and the whole surface of the dried material is applied with a decay inhibitor, and then further coated with a resin. After repeating this coating a plurality of times, a product is to be formed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
An embodiment of manufacturing an ornament made from raw orchid (lan), which is most difficult to complete as an ornament, will be described. In the sampling step 1, the fresh flower orchid is collected in a state where a stem having a predetermined size, for example, a length of 5 cm to 10 cm is attached to the petal. Since the fresh flower orchid has a very high nectarity unlike other kinds of flowers, it is necessary to remove the nectar in advance. Therefore, this honey removal process 2
Then, perforations with needles and cones with a diameter of about 2 mm (1,000 sheets)
And stab the tip of the perforation at several locations on the stem, for example, 5 or 6 locations toward the petals. Therefore, the nectar component contained in the petal starts flowing out immediately from the scar pierced by the perforated needle. After the nectar components have almost flowed out,
Immediately enters the drying step 3. The drying process 3 includes an operation of embedding the orchid in the desiccant and an operation of heating the orchid together with the desiccant. First, orchid petals are completely embedded together with stems in powdery silica (commonly called silica gel) which is a powdery drying aid placed in a container. When burying the orchid, it is important that the petals and stems be completely immersed or buried in the powdery desiccant silica while adjusting the posture of the orchid's petals so that the shape looks beautiful. At this time, the powdered silica sucks the remaining nectar components flowing out of the orchid. Therefore, the whole container in which the orchid is embedded is heated, and it is convenient to use a household microwave oven as the heating means, and the container is heated in a microwave oven (500 to 600 w) for about 2 to 10 minutes. . This heating time needs to be adjusted according to the size of the container, the size of the orchid, and the amount of the desiccant. Of course, as this heating means, an electric heater or other means can be appropriately selected and applied. The container removed from the microwave oven is left for about 24 hours while the orchid is buried in the silica. In this standing state, the residual heat of the desiccant promotes the drying of the orchid, and can be completely dried, and the desiccant also absorbs the remaining honey components. After the completion of the drying process 3, the orchid is taken out of the container with sufficient care not to break the petals, and the desiccant adhering to the dried orchid is removed. A brush, especially a brush of a stiff pig hair, is effective for this removing operation. After the desiccant is completely removed, the anti-rot treatment is applied to the dried orchid by applying the anti-rot agent, step 4 of the anti-rot treatment.
to go into. In the rot prevention treatment step 4, the base end of the orchid stalk is gripped with a gripping tool, for example, washing scissors, and the entire orchid petal is fully immersed in the liquid anti-rotation agent in the container, or It may be applied by spraying. The antiseptic is prepared by preparing a food preservative known as a food preservative, and a non-ionic antiseptic is preferred because of its high antiseptic effect on petals. At this time, since the orchid is in a dry state, the orchid is easily absorbed. Orchids that have inhaled the antiseptic
Immediately, a resin coating process 5 for coating the surface of the orchid with a resin is started. In this coating operation, a stem portion is gripped with washing scissors and dipped in the liquid resin, similarly to the operation of putting a liquid resin in a container and attaching the anti-corrosion agent described above. The resin for the coating is preferably a polyurethane-based or polyethylene-based resin that is flexible even when dried, has quick drying properties, and has mechanical strength. For example, "Polyflex NY-40"
U "(trade name of Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku) can be used, and ethyl acetate and xylene are used as solvents. It is important to adjust the concentration of the coating resin, and it is most desirable to repeat the resin coating operation a plurality of times, for example, about three times so that an appropriate coating film thickness can be obtained. That is, polyflex NY-40U and a solvent are mixed at a ratio of approximately 2 to 1, a dried orchid is immersed in the liquid resin, and the entire surface of the orchid is coated. And
After air-drying for approximately 24 hours, resin coating is performed again in the same manner as described above, air-dried for 24 hours, and a third coating is performed and air-dried for 24 hours. In this way, the thickness of the spelling film is slightly increased to obtain a predetermined thickness. If a high-concentration polyflex resin is applied, the petals may be easily damaged depending on the degree of dryness of the petals. In particular,
In the case of orchids, there is a high risk of breakage. When the surface of the orchid is covered with a predetermined film thickness by the resin coating process 5 and is sufficiently dried, when a broach is manufactured, a stopper pin is attached to the back of the petal to complete the product. In the case of orchids of the same type or different types completed in the same process, and bouquets created in combination with other types of flowers, the process further enters the arrangement (training) process 6. At this stage, for example, when a bouquet or a large brooch is to be made, a metal fitting or a fixing pin for making a finished product is attached to complete the product. Also, when manufacturing large ornaments that combine a large number of petals such as broaches using multiple petals, corsages and pictorial ones, in order to strengthen and integrate the mutual connection of petals, A second resin coating process 7 is required in which a metal fitting or the like attached to a place other than the petals is grasped, and only the petals are simultaneously immersed in a liquid resin contained in a container. As this resin, a resin of the same type as the above-mentioned coating resin or a resin compatible with this coating resin is selected and applied. Then, after the second resin coating treatment 7, the petals are allowed to face down, and natural drying is performed after approximately 24 hours while maintaining that state. In addition, when configuring a pictorial thing arranged in the frame, after setting this dried petal in the frame, apply the above-mentioned coating resin between the petals with a brush,
The connection between the petals is strengthened. Finally, the cleaning step 8 is performed. Here, the final finishing is performed by removing the resin lumps and dirt adhering to the petals and metal fittings. It is not necessary to remove the nectar of petals with low nectar, such as roses and chrysanthemums.

The plant ornament according to the present invention can be used not only as a brooch, a bouquet or a corsage, but also in a picture frame while maintaining the flexibility of the petals. It is used in such a manner, and further, is disposed in a transparent glass container and can be widely used as interior of a room and the like, and further, there is no possibility of discoloration or discoloration over time.
