Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that there is so far only a preservation method of making a pressed flower or a dry flower for such a multi-leaf clover as a four-leaf clover considered to carry the happiness or a five-leaf clover treasured as to bring a luck with money is valued because of being found in the probability of only 1/10,000. <P>SOLUTION: A processing method of clovers comprises substituting the water in a cell inside with glycerin or the like, resulting in that these clovers can be stored for a long period while keeping the fresh aspect, otherwise, since these clovers contain much water, the rare multi-leaf clover found laboriously among a large number of gregarious clovers loses water within an hour after picked up, then weakens, therefore substituting the water in the cell inside with glycerin or the like permits a long term preservation with the clover maintaining the vivid aspect. However, substituting with glycerin or the like will cause often the deformation and degradation according to the manner of the substitution treatment. The solution is found out from the results of various experiments. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention relates to a preserved clover produced by applying a preserved processing using clovers as a main material and a method for producing the same.

Recently, flower arrangements have been made using preserved flowers with special processing of fresh flowers. Preserved flowers are usually made by dipping freshly colored fresh flowers in a glycerin-based solution, coloring them, and then drying them. It is.

On the other hand, as a clover preservation method represented by a four-leaf clover, processing methods such as pressed flowers and dried flowers have long been the mainstream. However, in these preservation methods, “happiness” brought by the four-leaf clover and “money” brought by the five-leaf clover were not popular.

If we can provide these clovers that avoid these problems and stay alive, we will be able to better answer the demands of the market.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a preserved processing clover having a personality that meets the market demands by responding to market demands by performing a preserved treatment capable of storing plants for a long period of time, and a method for producing the same. To do.

The gist of the present invention is that the clovers are immersed in a dehydrated preserving solution containing methyl alcohol as a main component immediately after collection to stop the clover deterioration, and a moisturizing liquid composed of glycerins is immersed inside the clover. Therefore, it is in a manufacturing method that enables long-term storage of clover. In addition, methyl alcohol may be ethyl alcohol or polypropylene, and alcohols can be almost used and are not limited to methyl alcohol.

Further, the gist of the present invention is that clovers immersed in a dehydrated preservation solution are similar to specimen preservation with formalin, and the clover does not deteriorate and can be preserved for a long time. This is not influenced by the clover collection season, etc., and it can be processed throughout the year, or it can be stored in a dehydrated storage solution immediately after collection, so long-distance transportation, There is a method for manufacturing a preserved clover that enables processing while avoiding busy periods.

Further, the gist of the present invention is that the preserved clover that has been preserved by immersing in glycerin has a form that is remarkably different from the natural state at the time of collection because the cells are cured and deformed. Therefore, in the present invention, there is a method for manufacturing a preserved clover in which a preserved clover is formed manually at an appropriate time and is produced in a form that approximates the natural state at the time of collection.

In addition, the gist of the present invention is that the preserved clover molded by hand is left on a gauze, tissue, etc. so as not to deform again, and is prevented from being deformed by drying. A method for producing a preserved clover.

Further, the gist of the present invention resides in a method for providing a preserved clover in which a molded and dried preserved clover is put in a forehead, a plastic case, a glass case, etc., and long-term storage is provided in a better state.

In the manufacturing process of the preserved clover, the present invention makes it possible to manufacture the preserved clover at any time by immersing it in alcohols. In addition, the author's willingness to create is encouraged, and the individuality of the author is fully exhibited, and the manufacturing method has an effect that a durable, long-lasting, unique and beautiful preserved flower arrangement can be obtained.

In addition, when various creative means are added at the time of fixing in the clover molding stage, the leaves are cut with scissors etc. to adjust the shape of the leaves, create the desired shape, or the leaves are turned over and used With this, there is an effect that the types of arrangements are abundant.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention is to immerse the clovers in a dehydrated storage solution immediately after collection, and then slowly prepare a preserved clover according to the manufacturer's situation. It is possible to create a desired preserved clover that can fully meet the customer's demands in accordance with the desire to create and the production system.

(1) First, a desired clover is collected from a grassland or a cultivation place. At this time, the sample is immersed immediately after being collected in a dehydrated preservation solution mainly composed of alcohols such as methyl alcohol in a plastic container or bottle of an appropriate size.
(2) Next, the clovers collected and dehydrated are brought home and allowed to stand for at least 2 days to stabilize the dehydration and bleaching reaction. Thereafter, it may be stored for a long time.
(3) If production is necessary immediately, take out the clovers from the dehydrated preservation solution and immerse them in a moisturizing solution containing glycerin as a main component. The moisturizing liquid is a commercially available preserved liquid mainly composed of glycerins, but also glycol ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, triethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol. It may be selected from the group consisting of monobutyl ether, polyethylene glycol monoalkyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, polypropylene glycol monoalkyl ether, and poly (oxyethylene / oxypropylene) glycol monoalkyl ether.
At this time, a clover of a favorite color can be created by mixing the dye.
(4) After that, what is immersed in the moisturizing liquid for 3 days or more is processed, but if the moisturizing liquid is not sufficiently immersed, the moisturizing liquid does not sufficiently infiltrate into the cells of the clover, and long-term storage becomes impossible. . In addition, when the product shape is adjusted by processing and shaping, the leaf contracts after the shaping and causes the shape to change. It should be immersed in moisturizing liquid for 3 days or longer.
(5) The clovers soaked for 3 days or more are pulled out of the liquid and brought into a semi-dry state. At this time, since it must not be completely dried, it is better if a small amount of liquid remains in the container to the extent that the immersion liquid is transferred from the container to another container.
(6) Shape the semi-dry clover as it appears in nature. This work may refer to a photograph of the natural state preserved, or a design image designed by a designer or the like.
(7) For shaping, a thin rubber glove is worn and molding is performed in a state where the human body temperature is sufficiently transmitted to the clover to be molded. Although rough shaping is possible by manual adjustment, even if the leaves are shrunken, shaping is possible only by picking at moderate pressure at human body temperature.
(8) The shaped product is well-absorbed, such as gauze or tissue, and the drying process is carried out with the leaves facing down without applying pressure to the clover. When the leaf surface is turned up, the leaf closes in the middle of drying, and the shaped product is deformed. Therefore, it is important to dry it with the leaf surface down.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, although it is an easy method, it is possible to create durable, long-lasting, realistic four-leaf clovers by preserving, and the creativity and the author's individuality are fully exhibited. It is possible to obtain a unique and beautiful flower arrangement. In addition, the preserved clover thus produced maintained its shape for 6 months while maintaining its natural appearance.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the components of the embodiments can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
