Description

The present invention relates to a herbarium container for containing a plant together with a preservative solution to make herbarium.

In recent years, an increasing number of people are enjoying herbarium (plant specimen) as an interior decoration. Among them, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 4, herbarium, which is decorated by putting flowers and a preservative solution (oil, etc.) in a transparent container and sealing it with a lid, has a freshness and bright color of flowers. It is becoming more popular because it can be kept for a long time. Among the herbarium containers composed of a transparent container and a lid, as the transparent container, a glass bottle (narrow-mouthed bottle) having a small diameter is often used rather than a glass bottle (wide-mouthed bottle) having a large diameter.

This is because if the mouth of the glass bottle (transparent container) is large, the lid that closes it also becomes large, making it difficult to see the flowers located under the lid, and reducing the amount of light that enters the inside of the glass bottle (transparent container). This is because the design of the herbarium may deteriorate, such as the flowers appearing dark. This problem can be solved somewhat by forming the lid with a transparent material. However, even in that case, it is still difficult to see the flowers at the boundary between the transparent container and the lid, and the degree of refraction of light changes greatly near the boundary, so that the flowers look distorted and unnatural. turn into.

Therefore, in the conventional herbarium container, the mouth of the glass bottle (transparent container) is made small, and the mouth is closed with a small lid to make the flowers bright and easy to see. In fact, also in the herbarium container shown in Patent Documents 1 to 4 above, a glass bottle (transparent container) having a small mouth is used, and a lid closing the mouth is also used having a small size. ..

However, in the herbarium container, even if the mouth of the transparent container is made smaller and the lid is made smaller, the lid still covers the upper side of plants such as flowers. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in terms of visibility and brightness of plants. In addition, the small mouth of the transparent container significantly limits the size and number of plants that can be placed in the transparent container. Therefore, there is a drawback that the degree of freedom of arrangement is low.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is possible not only to make the plants easier to see but also to make the plants look bright by preventing the plants in the transparent container from being blocked by the lid. It provides a container for herbarium that can be used. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a herbarium container in which a large plant or a large number of plants can be placed in a transparent container and the degree of freedom of arrangement is high.

The above issues are
A transparent container with a plant inlet on the bottom for storing plants,
Equipped with a bottom lid to block the plant entrance
Turn the transparent container upside down (so that the plant outlet faces upward), put the plant in the transparent container together with the preservative solution through the plant inlet, close the plant inlet with the bottom lid, and then put the transparent container. The solution is to provide a container for herbalium, which is characterized by being installed upside down (with the plant outlet facing down).

Here, the word "transparent" may mean colorless and transparent in a narrow sense. However, the "transparent container" in the herbarium container of the present invention is not limited to a colorless and transparent container, but also includes a colored transparent container and a translucent container. A pickpocket or the like may be formed on the transparent container as long as the visibility required for the herbarium container can be ensured (the plants contained in the transparent container can be visually recognized at a desired level).

As described above, in the container for herbalium of the present invention, a mouth (plant insertion port) for putting a plant in the transparent container is provided not on the upper side of the transparent container but on the lower side (bottom portion) of the transparent container. A lid that closes the insertion port is also provided as a bottom lid that is attached to the bottom surface of the transparent container. Therefore, the side surface portion and the upper surface portion of the transparent container are not covered with the lid. Therefore, the plants in the transparent container can be seen from all directions above and to the side of the transparent container. In addition, since light enters the inside of the transparent container from all directions above and to the side of the transparent container, the plants in the transparent container can be made to look bright and beautiful.

In addition, in the herbarium container of the present invention, it is possible to secure a wide plant outlet, such as forming the plant outlet so as to spread over substantially the entire bottom surface of the transparent container. As already described, when the plant insertion port is widened, the lid (bottom lid in the herbalium container of the present invention) that closes the plant insertion port is inevitably large, but in the herbalium container of the present invention, the lid (bottom) is inevitably large. Since the lid) is on the underside of the transparent container, even if the lid (bottom lid) is enlarged, it does not adversely affect the visibility of the plants placed in the transparent container and the amount of light entering the transparent container. Is. Widening the plant outlet allows large plants and a large number of plants to be placed in a transparent container, which has the advantage of increasing the degree of freedom in arranging herbarium.

In the herbarium container of the present invention, the form of the transparent container is not particularly limited. However, if the transparent container has a shape with corners, the degree of refraction of light changes greatly in the vicinity of the corners, so that the plant tends to look distorted and unnatural. Therefore, it is preferable that the transparent container has a shape with few corners. In particular, since the shape of the upper part of the transparent container has a great influence on the visibility of the plants contained therein, it is preferable that the upper part of the transparent container has no corners. For example, it is preferable that the upper surface of the transparent container is formed in a hemispherical shape (dome shape). As a result, the outer surface of the transparent container can be formed smoothly, and the plants in the transparent container can be seen in a natural state without any discomfort.

However, if a lid (bottom lid) is arranged under the transparent container like the herbarium container of the present invention, the air pool formed in the transparent container becomes conspicuous, and the design of the herbarium is deteriorated. There is a risk. This is because if the preservative solution is filled in a transparent container, the preservative solution may leak when the transparent container is covered (bottom lid). For this reason, the preservative solution is generally contained in a size slightly smaller than the capacity of the transparent container. However, with the plant outlet facing up, put the plant and preservative solution in a transparent container, cover it (bottom lid), and then turn the transparent container upside down (with the plant outlet facing down). When the container is installed, air floats in the upper part of the transparent container, and an air pool is formed at that place. If this air pool is conspicuous, the design of the herbarium deteriorates. However, in the herbarium container of the present invention, the upper side of the transparent container is not covered with the lid, so that the air pool cannot be hidden by the lid. ..

Based on the above, it is preferable that the herbarium container of the present invention is devised so that the air pool in the transparent container is not conspicuous. Specifically, it is preferable to form a hollow bulging portion on the upper part of the transparent container so that the space inside the bulging portion and the space inside the transparent container communicate with each other. As a result, the air floating in the transparent container is released into the bulging part so that the air pool is formed in the bulging part (the air pool is the part other than the bulging part in the transparent container (hereinafter, "transparent"). It may be called "the main body of the container") so that it is not formed). Therefore, when the herbarium container is installed, it is possible to make the air pool inconspicuous.

In this case (when the bulging portion is provided on the upper part of the transparent container), it is preferable that the vicinity of the base of the bulging portion is a neck portion squeezed into a neck shape. As a result, when the inside of the transparent container is viewed from the side of the transparent container, the interface between the air (air pool) and the storage liquid overlaps with the neck portion, so that the interface can be made inconspicuous. That is, it is possible to make it appear as if the preservative solution is fully contained not only in the main body of the transparent container but also in the bulge. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the design of the herbarium from being impaired. In addition, the bulging part and its root (neck) are mimicked as the head part (the part of the mouth with the lid) in the small bottle bottle, and the appearance of the transparent container in which the bulging part is formed is made to look like the small mouth. By making it look like a bottle, you can eliminate the discomfort of the bulging part.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a herbarium container that not only makes the plant visible but also makes the plant look bright by preventing the plant contained in the transparent container from being blocked by the lid. Becomes possible. In addition, a large plant or a large number of plants can be put in a transparent container, and it is possible to provide a herbarium container with a high degree of freedom in arrangement.

It is a perspective view which showed the state which put the plant in the herbarium container of this invention. It is a cross section which shows the state which put the plant in the herbarium container of this invention, and cut it with a vertical plane. FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the bulging portion in the herbarium container of FIG. 2 in an enlarged manner. It is a breaking perspective view which showed the container for herbarium of this invention by breaking in a vertical plane. It is a perspective view which showed the state which the plant is put in the container for herbarium of this invention. It is a perspective view which showed the state which put the plant in the herbarium container of this invention (the state which was upside down). It is the photograph which took the state which put the plant in the herbarium container of this invention from the side. It is the photograph which took the state which put the plant in the herbarium container of this invention from diagonally above.

A preferred embodiment of the herbarium container of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the plant 50 is placed in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention. The herbarium container 10 of the present invention is for putting a plant 50 together with a preservative solution 60 (see FIG. 2 described later) in order to make a herbarium as shown in FIG.

The plant 50 to be placed in the herbarium container 10 may be a leafy plant (a plant having only leaves without flowers). However, if all of the plants 50 are leafy plants, it is difficult to make a gorgeous herbarium. Therefore, it is preferable that at least a part of the plant 50 is a flower. This type of herbarium is suitable for making flowers look beautiful and decorative because it can retain the freshness and vibrant color of the flowers for a long period of time. The flowers (plants) are usually made into preserved flowers, dried flowers, or the like, and are immersed in the preservation solution 60 in a dried state.

On the other hand, as the preservative liquid 60, oils such as silicone oil and mineral oil are usually used. Preservatives, fragrances, and the like may be added to the preservative solution 60, if necessary. Further, the preservation liquid 60 may be colored by adding a pigment or the like. However, in this case, the plant 50 disappears in its original color. Therefore, unless there is an intention such as making a herbarium having an unusual taste, the preservation solution 60 is usually colorless and transparent (or a state close to colorless and transparent).

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the plant 50 is placed in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention and installed, cut along a vertical plane. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the bulging portion 11b in the herbarium container 10 of FIG. 2 in an enlarged manner. FIG. 4 is a broken perspective view showing the herbarium container 10 of the present invention broken in a vertical plane. As shown in FIG. 2, the herbarium container 10 of the present invention is composed of a transparent container 11 and a bottom lid 12. On the bottom surface of the transparent container 11, a plant insertion port 11a for putting the plant 50 in the transparent container 11 is provided. The bottom lid 12 is for closing the plant insertion port 11a.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the plant 50 is placed in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which the plant 50 is placed in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention (a state in which the plant 50 is turned upside down). In the herbalium container 10 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the transparent container 11 is turned upside down, and the plant 50 is put into the transparent container 11 through the plant inlet 11a together with the preservative solution (FIG. 2). The inlet 11a is closed with the bottom lid 12 to bring it into the state shown in FIG. 6, and then the transparent container 11 is turned upside down to be installed in the state shown in FIG.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the plant 50 is placed in the transparent container 11 with the lower end of the stem of the plant 50 fixed to the fixing member 20. As a result, the layout of the plant 50 can be roughly determined, and then the plant 50 can be placed in the transparent container 11. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the adjustment of the layout of the plant 50 placed in the transparent container 11 (usually, it is performed by using a tool such as tweezers).

As the fixing member 20, a plate material such as glass, metal, or plastic is usually used, and it is also preferable to fix a weight such as a tile to the fixing member 20. As a result, the plant 50 placed in the transparent container 11 can be prevented from floating. Further, the fixing member 20 may be provided with a through hole in the vertical direction. As a result, when the transparent container 11 is turned upside down, not only the fixing member 20 can easily sink to the position of the bottom lid 12, but also the area of the fixing member 20 is large, and the storage liquid 60 is poured into the transparent container 11. If it is difficult, the preservative solution 60 can be poured through the through hole. Further, the layout of the plant 50 can be adjusted by passing a member such as a wire through the through hole.

The method of fixing the plant 50 to the fixing member 20 is not particularly limited. A wire or the like may be used to fix the plant 50, but an adhesive is often used. In the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the plant 50 is fixed to the fixing member 20 by attaching granular silica gel to the fixing member 20 using an adhesive and further adhering the plant 50 on the upper side thereof. .. Thereby, the plant 50 can be easily fixed. Further, by using silica gel, plants (preserved flowers, dried flowers, etc.) can be made to last longer. A similar effect can be obtained by forming the fixing member 20 with silica gel (using tablet-type silica gel as the fixing member 20).

In the herbarium container 10 of the present invention, when it is installed (when it is displayed as a herbarium), as shown in FIG. 2, the plant insertion port 11a is located on the lower side (bottom surface) of the transparent container 11. The lid that closes the plant insertion port 11a is also provided as a bottom lid 12 that is attached to the bottom surface of the transparent container 11. Therefore, when the transparent container 11 is viewed from above or from the side, the lid (bottom lid 12) does not block the plant 50. Further, the light (sunlight, illumination light, etc.) entering the inside of the transparent container 11 from the outside is not blocked by the lid (bottom lid 12). Therefore, it is possible to make substantially the entire plant 50 in the transparent container 11 look bright and beautiful, and it is possible to enhance the design of the herbarium.

The plant insertion port 11a may be formed small only in a part of the bottom surface of the transparent container 11, but in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the transparent container 11 is formed. It is formed in a state of being spread over almost the entire bottom surface of the. As a result, the plant insertion port 11a is widely secured, and a large plant 50 or a large number of plants 50 can be put in the transparent container 11. Therefore, the degree of freedom in arranging the herbarium can be increased. In the herbalium container 10 of the present invention, since the lid (bottom lid 12) is on the lower side of the transparent container 11, even if the lid (bottom lid 12) is enlarged, the plant 50 placed in the transparent container 11 It does not adversely affect the visibility and the amount of light entering the transparent container 11.

Further, the bottom lid 12 also functions as a base portion that supports the transparent container 11 from below. However, if the plant insertion port 11a is secured widely, the size of the bottom lid 12 that closes the plant insertion port 11a is inevitable. Becomes larger. Therefore, it is possible to increase the installation area of the herbarium container 10 to improve the installation stability of the herbarium container 10 (make it difficult for the herbarium container 10 to fall over). When the bottom surface of the bottom lid 12 has a flat shape with few irregularities, the installation stability of the herbarium container 10 can be further improved.

The form of the transparent container 11 is not particularly limited. However, if the transparent container 11 has a shape having corners such as a polygonal columnar shape (polygonal cylinder shape), the plant 50 in the transparent container 11 looks distorted. Therefore, in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the transparent container 11 is formed so as to have a circular cross section regardless of the height at which the transparent container 11 is cut horizontally, so that the transparent container 11 has no corners. It is said. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the side surface portion of the transparent container 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape (cylindrical shape), the upper surface portion of the transparent container 11 is formed in a hemispherical shape (dome shape), and the side surface portion is formed. It is designed so that it connects smoothly with the upper surface. This makes it possible to show the plant 50 in the transparent container 11 in a natural and natural state. Even if the horizontal cross section of the transparent container 11 appears in an elliptical shape or the like, the transparent container 11 can have a shape without corners.

In addition, as described above, by forming the transparent container 11 into a shape without corners, in other words, a shape in which the surface thereof is convexly bulged with a smooth curved surface, the transparent container 11 is stored therein. Combined with the liquid 60, it functions as a lens. Therefore, the plant 50 in the transparent container 11 can be made larger than the actual one to make it look gorgeous. In particular, the upper surface of the transparent container 11 is formed in a hemispherical shape (dome shape) so that the lens action appears more prominently. Therefore, in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the plant 50 looks particularly large when viewed from above.

Further, in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a hollow bulging portion 11b is formed in the upper center of the transparent container 11 (the highest portion in the transparent container 11). The bulging portion 11b may be an ex post facto integrated product formed separately from the main body portion of the transparent container 11, but is usually integrally molded with the main body portion of the transparent container 11. It is supposed to be. _{The space α 2} in the bulging portion 11b communicates vertically with _{the space α 2} in the main body portion of the transparent container 11. Therefore, it is possible to make the air pool that may occur in the transparent container 11 inconspicuous.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the plant 50 is put in the transparent container 11 upside down, it has already been described that the preservation solution 60 (FIG. 2) is put in a little smaller than the capacity of the transparent container 11. However, in this case, if the transparent container 11 after the bottom lid 12 is closed is turned upside down and installed in the direction shown in FIG. 2, the preservative solution 60 does not enter the top of the transparent container 11 and is transparent. An air reservoir is formed in the upper part of the container 11. When the upper surface of the transparent container 11 is formed in a hemispherical shape (dome shape) as in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, this air pool is particularly conspicuous, and the design of the herbarium may be deteriorated. There is. In this regard, as described above, by providing the hollow bulging portion 11b, the air floating in the transparent container 11 is released to the space α ₂ in the bulging portion 11c, and the air pool is formed in the bulging portion 11c. It can be formed (the air pool is not formed in the main body of the transparent container 11). Therefore, the air pool can be made inconspicuous. When the interface (liquid surface) of the storage liquid 60 overlaps the boundary portion between the main body portion and the bulging portion 11b of the transparent container 11, the air pool can be made less noticeable.

The shape of the bulging portion 11b is not particularly limited, but for the same reason as the main body portion of the transparent container 11, it is preferable that the bulging portion 11b has as few corners as possible. For example, it is preferably spherical or spheroidal. This makes it possible to make the plant 50 look natural when the transparent container 11 is viewed from above. In the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the bulging portion 11b is formed in a spheroidal shape, and the vicinity of the base of the bulging portion 11b is a neck portion 11c squeezed into a neck shape.

In this way, by setting the vicinity of the base of the bulging portion 11b to the neck portion 11c, the interface between the air (air pool) and the storage liquid 60 can be made less noticeable. Further, the bulging portion 11b and the neck portion 11c can be mimicked as the head portion (the portion of the mouth with the lid) in the small bottle bottle to make the transparent container 11 look as if it were a small bottle bottle. become. Therefore, it is possible for a person who enjoys herbarium to accept the existence of the bulging portion 11b without discomfort.

By the way, it is not preferable that the size of the bulging portion 11b is too small. This is because if the bulging portion 11b is too small, the space α ₂ inside the bulging portion 11b also becomes small, and the air pool generated in the transparent container 11 may not fit _{in the space α 2 in the bulging portion 11b.} be. Therefore, the bulging portion 11b _{can have a size that can secure 0.5 cc or more of the volume of the space α 2} inside the bulging portion 11b (the volume of the portion above the narrowest portion of the neck portion 11c; the same applies hereinafter). preferable. The volume of the space α ₂ is more preferably 1 cc or more, and further preferably 1.5 cc or more. The bulging portion 11b having such a volume has a lateral width (outer width of the widest portion; the same applies hereinafter) of 10 mm or more, although it depends on its shape, thickness (plate thickness), and the like. It can be obtained if the height (the height of the portion above the narrowest portion of the neck portion 11c; the same applies hereinafter) is also 5 mm or more.

However, if the bulging portion 11b is made too large, the presence of the bulging portion 11b becomes conspicuous in the transparent container 11. Therefore, it is not preferable that the size of the bulging portion 11b is too large. Specifically, it is preferable that the bulging portion 11b has a size capable of suppressing the volume _{of the space α 2 inside the bulging portion 11b to 10 cc or less.} The volume of the space α ₂ is more preferably suppressed to 7 cc or less, and further preferably suppressed to 5 cc or less. The bulging portion 11b having such a volume can be obtained by suppressing the width thereof to 50 mm or less and the height thereof to 40 mm or less, although it depends on the shape, thickness (plate thickness), and the like. can. In the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the width of the bulging portion 11b is about 30 mm and the height is about 15 mm, and _{the volume of the space α 2} in the bulging portion 11b is about 3 cc (2 to 2). It is in the range of 4cc).

Also, the curvature of the neck 11c radius R _{1 (FIG.} 3) is too small, the boundary between the main body portion and the bulging portion 11b of the transparent container 11 becomes conspicuous. It is preferable that the neck portion 11c is smoothly connected to the main body portion of the transparent container 11 on the lower side thereof and the bulging portion 11b on the upper side thereof. Therefore, the radius of curvature _{R 1} of the neck 11c, it is preferable to 2mm or more. Neck 11c radius of curvature _{R 1} of, more preferably, to 3mm or more, still more preferably 4mm or more.

However, if the radius of curvature R ₁ of the neck 11c is too large, necessarily, made from the top portion of the main body portion of the transparent container 11 so swollen portion 11b protrudes largely in the upper bulging portion 11b becomes conspicuous .. Further, even if the interface (liquid level) of the preservative liquid 60 overlaps the neck portion 11c when the herbarium container 10 is viewed from the side, the interface (liquid level) of the preservative liquid 60 may be easily visible. .. Therefore, the radius of curvature _{R 1} of the neck 11c, it is preferable to 30mm or less. The radius of curvature _{R 1} of the neck 11c, it is more preferable to 20mm or less, still more preferably 10mm or less. In Herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the radius of curvature _{R 1} of the neck 11c has a about 5 mm (range 4 to 6 mm).

The material of the transparent container 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has the desired transparency (translucency). Examples of the material of the transparent container 11 include glass and transparent resin. However, since herbarium is often required to have a high-class feeling and a profound feeling, when the transparent container 11 is formed of a transparent resin, the transparent container 11 becomes cheap and light and easy to see. Therefore, the transparent container 11 is preferably made of glass. Examples of glass suitable for forming the transparent container 11 include soda-lime glass, potash glass, crystal glass, and quartz glass. The transparent container 11 can be molded by injecting a molten material of this kind of glass raw material into a mold and solidifying it. In the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the transparent container 11 is manufactured by laminating a pair of members (members having a half shape) of the form shown in FIG.

The bottom lid 12 is usually made of metal, glass, resin, wood, or the like. In the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the bottom lid 12 is made of metal (steel). The bottom lid 12 may only fit into the plant insertion port 11a of the transparent container 11. However, in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the lower side of the transparent container 11 containing the storage liquid 60 is closed with the bottom lid 12. Therefore, it is necessary to tightly seal the plant insertion port 11a with the bottom lid 12 so that the storage liquid 60 does not leak from the gap between the bottom lid 12 and the plant insertion port 11a.

Therefore, in the herbarium container 10 of the present embodiment, the bottom lid 12 is screwed with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the bottom of the transparent container 11. In addition, a sealing member (not shown) such as silicone resin is provided in an annular shape on the edge of the inner bottom surface of the bottom lid 12 (the portion of the transparent container 11 that overlaps the end surface around the plant insertion port 11a). A gap is not formed between the inner bottom surface of the bottom lid 12 and the lower end surface of the transparent container 11. Therefore, even if the herbarium container 10 containing the preservative solution 60 is installed in the transparent container 11 in the orientation shown in FIG. 2, the preservative solution 60 does not leak from the lower side of the transparent container 11.

FIG. 7 is a photograph taken from the side of a state in which the plant 50 is placed in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a photograph of the herbarium container 10 of the present invention in which the plant 50 is placed, taken from diagonally above. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, the herbarium container 10 of the present invention does not have a lid on the upper side thereof, so that the plant 50 can be easily seen from either the side or the upper side. In addition, since light (sunlight, illumination light, etc.) enters from both the side and the upper side, it is possible to make the plant 50 look bright.

Further, by providing the bulging portion 11b, the air pool generated in the transparent container 11 becomes less noticeable. Further, since a large number of plants 50 larger than the conventional herbarium container 10 can be laid out, it is possible to enjoy a gorgeous and powerful herbarium. As described above, in the herbarium container 10 of the present invention, the herbarium having excellent design can be enjoyed. If you want to hide the bottom lid 12, you can hide the bottom lid 12 by fitting the bottom lid 12 into a lower plate (not shown) made of a highly designed material (wood such as mountain chestnut or black persimmon, ceramics, etc.). good.
