DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing pressed flowers and a tool for producing pressed flowers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a pressed flower is produced, a plurality of layers are stacked on a drying sheet or a drying mat to which a desiccant is attached so as to sandwich the flower to be pressed, placed in a moisture-proof bag, and pressed with a weight. Leave the plants to dry until they create the pressed flowers.

[0003]

In the conventional method for producing pressed flowers, it takes a long time to dry the flowers to be pressed, and the dry sheet or dry mat must be stored in a moisture-proof bag in a sealed state. Otherwise, there was a drawback that sufficient drying could not be performed at the time of use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks,
Provided are a method for producing pressed flowers and a tool for producing pressed flowers that can be dried in a short time, and that does not deteriorate the drying efficiency even if the storage state is not completely sealed, while the flowers that are made into pressed flowers by simple work can be dried in a short time. It is an object.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more completely apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the drawings are merely for explanation and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rice laying step of laying rice in a container which can be used in a microwave oven, and a flower plant which is pressed after the rice laying step. The step of arranging the flowers to be placed on the laid rice, the step of covering with rice to cover the flowers arranged after the step of arranging the flowers, the step of covering with rice, and the step of covering with the rice as is or covered The drying process of placing the weight on the rice, heating the microwave in a microwave oven, and drying the flowers to be pressed, constitutes a method for producing pressed flowers.

Further, the present invention provides a container which can be used in a microwave oven, a water-absorbing body which absorbs moisture contained in the container, and a flower plant which is laid or arranged on the water-absorbing material to be pressed. The pressed flower maker is composed of rice and rice that can be covered.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a heat-resistant and transparent container 2 which can be used in a microwave oven as shown in FIG. In the rice laying step of laying the rice 3, the rice 3 laid in the rice laying step 1 is laid in such a thickness as to absorb moisture sufficiently, for example, several millimeters to several tens of millimeters.

4 is the rice laying step 1 as shown in FIG.
In the step of arranging the flower 5 to be later pressed on the laid rice 3, the flower arranging step 4 arranges the flower 5 to be pressed in consideration of the finished shape of the pressed flower.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a step of covering with the rice 3 covered with the same rice 3 as the rice 3 used in the rice laying step 1 so as to cover the flowers 5 arranged after the flower arrangement step 4 as shown in FIG. The thickness of the rice covering the flower 5 in the rice covering step 6 may be, for example, about several millimeters to several tens of millimeters.

Step 7 is a step 6 for covering with rice as shown in FIG.
Later, a weight 8 such as a heat-resistant glass or a dish that can be used in a microwave oven is placed on the rice 3 as it is or overlaid, and the rice is heated in a microwave oven 9 to dry the plants 5 to be pressed. In the drying step 7, moisture is evaporated from the plants 5 to be pressed by heating in a microwave, and the evaporated moisture is absorbed by the laid and covered rice 3, and the drying is completed in a few minutes.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pressed flower is formed by the above-described method using the pressed flower forming tool 10 including the container 2, the rice 3, and the weight 8 used as needed. The plants 5 to be pressed can be made into dried pressed flowers in a short time.

[0014]

Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 7 to 14 will be described. In addition,
In the description of the different embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 7 to 11 is mainly different from the first embodiment of the present invention in that the container 2 absorbs water, such as water supply paper or cloth. Rice laying step 1 of laying rice 3 after arranging water absorber 11 of
A and the rice 3 laid in the rice laying process 1A,
A flower arrangement step 4A for arranging the flowers 5 to be pressed through the sheet 12 such as a nonwoven fabric or a towel which allows cushioning and passage of moisture, and a flower 5 arranged after the flower arrangement step 4A. , Rice 3 via the sheet 12
In the point of using the step 6A of covering with rice, the pressed flower is formed by the method as described above using the pressed flower making tool 10A composed of the container 2, the water absorber 11, the rice 3, the sheets 12, 12 and the weight 8 as described above. The same effect can be obtained as in the first embodiment of the present invention described above, and the plants 5 when dried by the sheets 12, 12 disposed on the upper and lower portions of the plants 5 to be pressed. It is possible to create a pressed flower that can smoothly contract and move, and also provides a three-dimensional effect.

The third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is mainly different from the second embodiment of the present invention in that a rice laying process using a cup-shaped container 2A is performed. The method of preparing a pressed flower may be performed in such a manner that the step 1B and the step 4B of arranging a flower to be pressed and the step 6B of covering with rice are performed almost simultaneously.

[0017]

As apparent from the above description, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.

(1) A rice laying step of laying rice in a container that can be used in a microwave oven, and a flower to be pressed after the rice laying step is placed on the laid rice. The step of covering with rice to cover the flowers arranged after the process of placing the flowers, and the step of covering with rice.After the step of covering with rice, place the weight on the rice as it is or over the covered rice and microwave heat in a microwave oven. Since the drying process of drying the flowers to be pressed is carried out, the moisture of the flowers to be pressed is absorbed by rice by heating in a microwave oven, and drying can be performed efficiently and in a short time. Therefore, pressed flowers can be finished in a short time.

(2) According to the above (1), the plants to be pressed by microwave heating are dried, so that the plants can be dried without discoloration. Therefore, a pressed flower having a beautiful finish can be created.

(3) According to the above (1), rice is used, so that it can be used safely and old and old rice can be effectively used.

(4) According to the above (1), it is only necessary to use a microwave oven, a container usable in a microwave oven, and rice, so that it is not necessary to use a special product, and it is easy to carry out. You can easily create pressed flowers.

(5) Claims 2, 3, and 4 also provide (1) to
The same effect as (4) can be obtained.
