Description

  The present invention relates to an ornamental artificial fruit tree to which a natural fruit is attached.

  Traditionally, ornamental fruit trees have been placed in offices and other rooms, and the interior space has been displayed. By using ornamental fruit trees in the interior, healing of stress and the like due to the healing effect was attempted. However, it is difficult to grow and manage ornamental fruit trees, and so-called artificial fruit trees, which are not easy to manage, are often used.

  However, the conventional artificial fruit tree lacks realism because the fruit is also a counterfeit, and there is a possibility that the healing effect cannot be obtained sufficiently. Therefore, a real artificial fruit tree with natural fruits attached is desirable, but it has been difficult to artificially attach natural fruits.

At present, an artificial fruit tree with a natural fruit attached has not been proposed, but artificial houseplants capable of obtaining the same effect as an artificial fruit tree are provided (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

  The artificial foliage plant of Patent Document 1 is made from recycled materials in consideration of the environment for each of its components and accessories. The above-mentioned parts, for example, a leaf part and its stem part are formed of a synthetic resin, and are attached to a trunk part made of a natural tree provided with a hole into which the stem part can be inserted to form an artificial houseplant. Moreover, in the said artificial foliage plant, the stem was attached to the trunk using a commercially available bond.

  Moreover, the artificial houseplant of patent document 2 uses as a base material the molded object which has many through-holes for attaching a pseudo leaf to the surface. The pseudo leaves are made of resin, and are attached by inserting the roots of the stems of the leaves into the through holes of the base material.

  However, the artificial foliage plant is suitable for attaching a leaf part or its stem part, and cannot attach a natural fruit.

  An object of the present invention is to propose an ornamental artificial fruit tree to which a natural fruit can be attached in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

  The ornamental artificial fruit tree of the present invention is an artificial fruit tree comprising a pseudo trunk, a pseudo leaf adhering to the pseudo stem, a pseudo branch adhering to the pseudo trunk, and a rod-like fruit holding member for holding a natural fruit. However, a fitting hole is provided in the pseudo branch, and a fruit holding member is fixed to the fitting hole.

  The ornamental artificial fruit tree of the present invention attaches a natural fruit to a pseudo branch. Thereby, a realistic artificial fruit tree can be provided and the healing effect can be acquired.

  This invention implement | achieves provision of the realistic ornamental fruit tree which enabled the attachment of the natural fruit.

The ornamental artificial fruit tree of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing components of an ornamental artificial fruit tree of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the ornamental artificial fruit tree of the present invention.
The ornamental artificial fruit tree 10 of the present invention includes a pseudo trunk 12, a pseudo leaf 14 fixed to the pseudo trunk 12, a pseudo branch 18 having a fitting hole 16, and a stick-like fruit inserted into the fitting hole 16. The holding member 20 is provided. Further, a natural fruit apple 22 is attached to the fruit holding member 20 by using a fixing means 24 described later.

The pseudo branches 18 are imitations of apple 22 branches made of synthetic resin. The pseudo branch 18 is provided with a fitting hole 16 of a predetermined size formed by a square or round cut.
The fruit holding member 20 having a predetermined length is inserted into the fitting hole 16 so that one end of the fruit holding member 20 protrudes from the pseudo branch 18. At this time, it is assumed that the fruit holding member 20 is fixed by a conventionally known fixing means (for example, fixing with a woodworking bond) so that the fruit holding member 20 does not fall off the pseudo branch 18 even when a certain load is applied to the fruit holding member 20. . The fruit holding member 20 can hold the apple 22 on the pseudo branch 18 without being detached from the pseudo branch 18 due to the weight of the apple 22 even if the apple 22 of the natural fruit is attached to the lower end portion of the fruit holding member 20. The fruit holding member 20 is made of a hard rod (including a cylinder) made of rubber, synthetic resin, metal, or the like.
By attaching the stick-like fruit holding member 20 that holds the apple 22 to the pseudo branch 18, a realistic artificial fruit tree in which the apple 22 is hanging on the pseudo branch 18 can be formed.

  When the apple 22 is attached to the fruit holding member 20, a part of the tip of the apple 26 of the apple 22 is preliminarily wound with a square (triangular) to provide a through-hole 28. The woodworking bond 24 as a fixing means is injected into the cut-out portion 28, the cut-out portion 28 is brought into contact with the lower end portion of the fruit holding member 20, and the head 26 of the apple 22 is fixed to the fruit holding member 20. To do.

  The wood bond 24 can be used as a simple fixing means, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the fruit holding member 20 made of rubber or synthetic resin is used, the lower end portion of the fruit holding member 20 is melted using a soldering iron, and then the cut-out portion 28 is brought into contact with and fixed to the melted portion. You may do it. Further, when a cylindrical metal tube such as a fume tube is used, the opening portion may be closed after the portion 26 extending from the opening portion at the lower end portion of the fume tube into the tube is inserted.

  The pseudo trunk 12 uses a natural tree branch of the apple 22 in order to obtain a realistic artificial fruit tree. For the pseudo leaves 14, imitations made of synthetic resin are used. When the leaves of natural trees are used for the pseudo leaves 14, the leaves die off every day due to corrosion and the form of the fruit tree cannot be maintained. Use of natural tree leaves is undesirable because it results in the loss of the merit of artificial fruit trees, which is less time-consuming to manage. However, it is not limited to imitations.

It is a figure which shows the structure part of the ornamental artificial fruit tree of this invention. It is a perspective view of the ornamental artificial fruit tree of this invention.
