Pressed flower picture and method for producing pressed flower picture

  The present invention relates to a pressed flower picture and a method for producing a pressed flower picture.

Conventionally, as a pressed picture, a window hole is provided on one side of a bag body integrally molded with a film material, and a dried pressed flower placed on a mount is placed in a pressed flower storage bag body formed by adhering a transparent plate to the window hole. There is a known one that is stored facing the transparent plate and sealed. (For example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-165202

  Here, the most important point in producing a pressed flower picture is how it can express on the pressed flower picture the vivid primary colors at the time when the flowers used as the pressed flower material were collected.

  Grasses often discolor and fade when dried, but the discoloration often occurs at the end of the drying process.

  However, since the above-mentioned conventional pressed flower picture keeps the dried flower flower in a sealed state, it was possible to prevent discoloration or fading after processing into the pressed flower picture. Since it was processed and processed as a pressed flower picture after it was completely dried, discoloration or fading often occurred before the processed as a pressed flower picture, that is, in the drying process.

  Moreover, since the flowers harden as they dry, when they are dried in a bent shape, the leaves and flowers are broken or torn even if the shape is adjusted again, making shaping difficult. Met. Moreover, the dry pressed flower has a rough surface with an uneven surface, so that the light is irregularly reflected on the rough surface and appears whitish in a frosted glass style and cannot express the original natural color of the pressed flower.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to express the primary colors at the time when the flowers are collected as vividly as possible, and to maintain the primary colors for a long period of time. I will provide a.

In the present invention according to claim 1, a semi-dried flower in a semi-dry state having a moisture content of about 50 to 70% on the upper side of the surface-colored mount,
The desiccant and oxygen scavenger are placed on the bottom of the mount, and the semi-dried flowers, mount, desiccant and oxygen scavenger are sandwiched between a transparent hard plate and a moisture-proof sheet such as aluminum foil. By adhering the peripheral edges of the transparent hard plate and moisture-proof sheet, the semi-dried flowers, backing paper, desiccant and oxygen scavenger are sealed,
In addition, the upper surface of the semi-drying flower was a pressed flower picture configured to be in a pressure-bonded state to the transparent hard plate.

  Further, the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the backing paper is colored by wrapping a cushion member with a fine cloth body and rubbing a pigment on the surface thereof. did.

  Further, the present invention according to claim 3 is a semi-drying process in which the collected flowers are sandwiched between water-absorbing papers and pressed to form a semi-dry state with a moisture content of about 50 to 70%. Arrangement step of placing the flowers in a dry state on a colored mount having cushioning properties and rubbing a pigment on the surface thereof, and the mount formed by arranging the flowers in the same arrangement step The sealing step of sandwiching a desiccant and an oxygen scavenger together with a moisture-proof sheet such as a transparent hard plate and aluminum foil, and further sealing the semi-dried flowers sealed in the sealing step And a drying process for drying in an oxygen-free state.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent discoloration and fading that have conventionally occurred in the process of drying flowers, and to produce a pressed picture that clearly expresses the vivid primary color of the plant that was collected. Thus, it is possible to provide a pressed flower picture that can maintain the clear primary color over a long period of time.

  Specifically, by sealing the flower that is the raw material of the pressed flower painting together with the desiccant and oxygen scavenger in a semi-dry state, the final stage of the drying of the flower can proceed in an oxygen-free state to reach the drying. It is possible to reduce as much as possible discoloration that tends to occur at the end of drying. Moreover, since the surface of the semi-drying flower is pressure-bonded with a transparent hard plate, the unevenness of the surface of the semi-drying flower is flattened as much as possible to reduce the diffuse reflection of light, and light penetrates into the inside of the flower. Reflecting, the color of the flower is transparent, and it has the effect of producing a color similar to a light natural flower.

  The present invention makes it possible to reduce as much as possible the discoloration and fading of the flowers that tend to occur during the drying process, and even when the flowers are processed into a pressed picture, the primary colors at the time of collection of the flowers can be expressed. I am doing so.

  Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the pressed picture which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the manufacturing process of the pressed picture according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the pressed picture according to the present embodiment holds the collected flowers with water absorbent paper and pressurizes them. The semi-drying step S1 in which the moisture content is about 50-70% and the semi-drying step S1 in the semi-drying step S1 has a cushioning property and is colored by rubbing the surface with a pigment. Arrangement step S2 for painting on the mount, and the mount formed by arranging the flowers in the arrangement step S2 with a moisture-proof sheet such as a transparent hard plate and aluminum foil together with a desiccant and an oxygen scavenger A sealing step S3 for sucking and discharging the air while holding the outer periphery and adhering and sealing the periphery, and a drying step S4 for drying the semi-dried flowers sealed in the sealing step S3 in an oxygen-free state; Made through It is. The steps S1 to S4 will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a method for drying a collected flower in the process of producing a pressed picture 1 according to the present embodiment.

  First, as a semi-drying step S1, as shown in FIG. 1, after collecting a flower 50 to be used as a pressed flower in a field or the like, a water absorbing body 51 formed by bundling water sheets such as several to several tens of paper sheets is used. Hold it. And the thin plate 52 is arrange | positioned at the both sides of the water absorption body 51, and this peripheral surface is strongly bound and fixed with a string body etc. As shown in FIG. 1, the flower 50 can be used according to preference, such as mainly a flower with a leaf, a stem, or a branch, or mainly a leaf.

  Relatively small flowers and the like tend to shrink and shrink, and the original beautiful shape of the flowers is likely to be damaged. By doing so, the collected flowers 50 are prevented from shrinking and shrinking, and the natural nature of the flowers. Can hold a beautiful shape.

  Although not shown, even if several dozen water absorbing bodies 51 are superposed, thin plates 52 are disposed on both sides thereof, and one side end of these is sewn or the like to form an integrated flower sandwich body. Good. By forming such an integrated flower-clamping body, the collected flower can be easily clamped.

  Then, a weight of 3 to 10 kg, preferably about 5 kg, is placed on the water absorbing paper or a thin plate while the flowers are sandwiched with the water absorbing paper, and the room temperature is preferably about 25 to about 4 to 10 hours. Hold. In addition, conditions such as the weight of the weight, room temperature, and pressurizing time are appropriately adjusted depending on the kind of flowers to be sandwiched, weather, humidity, and the like.

  By holding in such a pressurized state, the flower 50 is formed in the semi-dry flower 8 which has shifted to a semi-dry state having a moisture content of about 50 to 70%. Thus, since the flower 50 is moved to the semi-dry state as gently as possible without using a special device or the like, discoloration due to rapid drying can be prevented.

  In addition, it is difficult to correct the posture of the flower when drying is completely completed, but the semi-dried flower 8 that is semi-dry is beautiful even when the petals and leaves are broken or bent. A pressed flower picture can be formed in a corrected state.

  Next, as a sealing step S3, the semi-dried flower 8 in a semi-dried state is taken out from the water-absorbing paper and placed on a mount having cushioning properties, and this is put together with a desiccant and an oxygen scavenger together with a transparent hard plate and aluminum. After being sandwiched between moisture-proof sheets such as foil 36, the periphery is bonded and sealed to create a part of the opening at the periphery. The part is also sealed, and the semi-dried flowers 8 housed inside are dried in an oxygen-free state. At this time, the surface of the semi-dried flower and the transparent hard plate are closely polymerized so as to be in a pressure-bonded state at the time of deaeration. By adopting such a configuration, the semi-dried plant flower 8 can be gradually dried in the anoxic state at the end of dry season in which the color change easily occurs, so that the plant color change can be reduced as much as possible. In addition, it is possible to obtain a pressed flower picture that retains the primary color of the time when the flowers are collected as vividly as possible, and it is possible to maintain this primary color for a long time.

  Hereinafter, the pressed-flower picture which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated, referring drawings. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a cross section of a pressed picture according to the present embodiment, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a mount of the pressed picture according to the present embodiment, and FIG. It is a perspective view of the pressed flower picture which concerns on a form.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pressed flower picture 30 according to the present embodiment pictorially arranges a flower 31 in a semi-dry state having a moisture content of about 50 to 70% on a mount 32, and this is used as a desiccant 33. It is sandwiched between a transparent hard plate 35 and an aluminum foil 36 together with an oxygen scavenger 34, and its periphery is bonded with an adhesive and sealed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the mount 32 on which the semi-drying flowers 31 are placed is formed by winding a thick nonwoven fabric 12 having cushioning properties around a finely woven fabric body 14. Since the mount 32 is configured as described above, there is an effect that the pigment is rubbed against the peripheral surface of the mount and easily colored. As the pigment, powder pigments such as pastels are suitable, and among them, soft pastels are particularly suitable. The fine joints of the fine cloth body 14 securely sandwich the powder pigments, so that the mount 32 can be colored without spots. And beautiful finish. In addition, other members with high cushioning properties can be used instead of the nonwoven fabric 12, and for example, a urethane mat or the like can be used.

  In addition, by improving the cushioning properties of the mount 32, it is possible to prevent breakage or tearing of these flowering materials even when a flower with a thick tree branch or thick flower core is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to keep the original beautiful shape as much as possible. Moreover, while the nonwoven fabric 12 absorbs the water | moisture content contained in a semi-drying flower 31 effectively, the shrinkage | contraction and deformation | transformation of a flower are prevented by fixed pressure, and it is comprised as what can fully perform the shape-retaining function of a flower. .

  Further, the desiccant 33 sealed together with the semi-drying flowers 31 is a blended desiccant mainly composed of anhydrous calcium chloride.

  A transparent glass plate or a transparent hard plastic plate is used as the transparent hard plate 35 that sandwiches the semi-dried flowers 31 from the front side of the pressed picture 30.

  The method of sealing the mount 32 sandwiching the semi-dried flowers 31 is limited to sealing the peripheral surfaces of the transparent hard plate 35 and the aluminum foil 36 sandwiching the mount 32 with a non-solvent adhesive. First, the transparent hard plate 35 and the aluminum foil 36 sandwiching the semi-dried flower 31 are enclosed in a transparent and highly sealable transparent bag together with the desiccant 33 and the oxygen scavenger 34, and air is discharged from the transparent bag. There is a method in which the air inside is deaerated to seal it.

  As described above, when the semi-dried flower 31 is deaerated and sealed, the sealed internal space is gradually made oxygen-free by the enclosed oxygen scavenger 34. In such an oxygen-free state, the drying agent 33 can advance the drying of the semi-dried flower 31. Therefore, even at the end of the drying period when the discoloration is likely to occur, the discoloration of the flower can be greatly suppressed. The primary colors can be kept as vivid as possible.

  And if it is left in such a sealed state for 2 to 3 days, the flower that has been semi-dried will dry, and it will be a colorful pressed flower picture that will not discolor or fade even during long-term storage. Can do.

  The size of the pressed picture is not limited, and can be formed in various dimensions such as a large-sized pressed picture that is suspended from a wall surface and a postcard-sized pressed picture.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the semi-dried flower 8 is gradually dried in anoxic state by sealing the semi-dried flower together with the desiccant and the oxygen scavenger as the raw material of the pressed picture. Therefore, it is possible to provide a pressed picture that can surely reduce the discoloration and fading of the flower and keep the primary color of the flower as vivid as possible. Further, it is possible to provide a high-quality pressed flower picture that is easy to color the mount with a powder pigment such as pastel and has a beautiful finish.
