Description

The present invention relates to a modeled product and a flower arrangement method.

The open-cell foam made of heat-curable resin has the characteristic of allowing air and water to pass through and having elasticity. Water-absorbing cleaner sponge that wipes off dirt by including liquid in the bubbles, and tableware that contains detergent. It is used as a cushioning material for sponges for washing automobiles, chairs and mattresses.

A water-absorbing sponge, which is an open-cell foam made of a thermosetting resin, includes, for example, floral foam. Floral foam is used in flower arrangements as a pedestal for inserting fresh flowers by absorbing water, or inserting and fixing artificial flowers or preserved flowers without absorbing water.

Floral foam is a material that is easy to cut, and is used as a pedestal for flower arrangements by cutting it according to the size of the vase.

Floral foam is a porous sponge with good water absorption and has a unique texture. Floral foam, which is easy to form, has many colors, and has a unique texture, has attractive characteristics as a material for making shaped products.

Floral foam has the properties of being "fragile" and "easily broken" in order to prevent damage to the stem when inserting fresh flowers, and although it is easy to cut and excavate due to this property, it is used as a modeled product. Therefore, the strength is insufficient.

Patent Document 1 below discloses a flowerpot using floral foam. The following Patent Document 1 aims to use floral foam as a flowerpot. The surface of the floral foam is hardened with a synthetic resin paint film, and drainage is performed from a part of the upper surface toward the bottom surface to a hole for implantation and a part of the bottom surface. It is configured to provide a hole for.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-177136

In the invention of Patent Document 1, in order to use the floral foam as a flowerpot, the surface of the floral foam is hardened with a synthetic resin paint film to prevent water evaporation, and a hole necessary for drainage is provided on the bottom surface.

When cutting and excavating floral foam, which is an open-cell foam made of thermosetting resin, hold the modeled product with your hand or hold the surface of the modeled product with your finger during the formation process. When pressed, the part where the force is applied to the floral foam is dented and cannot be restored. Therefore, in order to use the floral foam as a material for the modeled product, it is necessary to give it enough strength to withstand those forces. ..

An adhesive that does not easily penetrate into open-cell foam made of thermosetting resin, for example, an adhesive with high viscosity and high curing speed, is used to attach a member to a part of the surface of the household sponge which is the foam. If the member is touched with a finger after being adhered, it is easily peeled off from the foam. Even when the foam is a floral foam, the “fragile” property causes the floral foam powder to adhere to the adhesive on the adhesive surface, and the adhesive is peeled off from the floral foam body. Further, when the member is adhered using an adhesive having too much penetration into the foam, for example, having a low viscosity and a slow curing rate, the adhesive is absorbed by the foam and does not remain on the adhesive surface. Cannot be glued.

Floral foam, which is an open-cell foam made of thermosetting resin, has inferior bending strength due to its "fragile" nature, and therefore, when a plate-shaped or rod-shaped floral foam is bent by hand, it easily cracks. For example, if you try to bend a floral foam formed into a plate with a thickness of 3 mm into a cylindrical shape by hand, it will always break.

The present invention relates to a modeled product and a method for manufacturing the modeled product .

According to the present invention, the open cell type foam made of a thermosetting resin can be easily cut and excavated, so that it can be formed into an arbitrary shape, and the surface of the shaped object formed of the foam can be formed on the surface. Strength can be imparted by providing a protective permeable layer. This permeation layer serves as a primer when the member is attached to the surface of the foam. Since the foam has an open cell structure, it is excellent in gas and liquid permeability and retention, so that a permeation layer can be easily provided.

Since the pores of the foam of phenol resin or polyurethane resin are similar in shape to the pores of the porous body existing in nature, it can be used as a modeling material utilizing the texture of the shape. For example, since the open-cell structure of a foam of phenol resin or polyurethane resin and the open-cell structure of a sponge cake for confectionery are very similar, a modeled product imitating a sponge cake can be easily produced using the foam. be able to.

Floral foam is a material that can be easily cut and excavated and can be shaped into any shape and can be formed with household tools. For example, it can be easily die-cut using a confectionery die for household cooking utensils, and can be formed to a thickness of 2 mm with a vegetable slicer.
In addition, since the floral foam has a large number of colors, it is possible to select a favorite color or to color a light-colored floral foam such as ivory with a coloring agent.

Further, this penetrating layer can reinforce the bonding force of the layer overlapping the penetrating layer and the bonding force of the adhesive and the penetrating layer for fixing the member to the modeled product while protecting the surface of the modeled product. ..

By further providing a protective layer on the surface of the permeation layer, the modeled product can have a stronger strength than that of the protective layer alone.

The synthetic resin used in the protective layer has a decorative effect of changing the texture of the finished product. For example, if an acrylic emulsion containing calcium carbonate, which is an acrylic resin, is used as the protective layer, the protective layer can be used for decoration imitating whipped cream.

By providing a permeation layer of a flexible synthetic resin on the surface of the plate-shaped or rod-shaped shaped products, these shaped products are imparted with bending strength and can be bent and twisted.
The flexible synthetic resin is one that has elasticity after the acrylic polymer emulsion is dried or the photocurable resin is irradiated with light of a specific wavelength and cured.

If you try to bend it into a cylinder with a diameter (outer diameter) of 40 mm with a plate-shaped floral foam with a thickness of 3 mm, it will always break, but by processing this patent, it will be made into a cylinder with a diameter (outer diameter) of 40 mm. be able to.

A modeled product of a floral foam having a synthetic resin permeation layer treated with this patent and a modeled product having a bent structure of a floral foam having a flexible synthetic resin penetrating layer treated with this patent. By combining them, it is possible to produce a modeled product having a bent structure as a partial structure. For example, when making a modeled product that imitates an apple tart, the tart base is made of floral foam with a synthetic resin permeation layer, and the curved sliced apple topping is permeated with flexible synthetic resin. By making a floral foam with layers and adhering them together, it is possible to complete a modeled product that imitates an apple tart.

By using an open-cell foam model made of thermosetting resin, it functions not only as a "pedestal" and "swordsman" for flower arrangements, which are the applications of conventional floral foam, but also as a "charming vessel". Can be provided. This modeled product with the function of "attractive vessel" can be integrated with the flower arrangement as various model products, and it will be a new method of flower arrangement that has never been seen before.
