First, the flower core part of this embodiment and the method and operation for producing it will be described. FIG. 1 shows an example of a long and thin flexible sheet (board) that is a material for composing the flower core. The flexible sheet 1 shown in FIG. 1 is made of foamed thermosetting resin such as foamed polyethylene resin. The material is cut (which may be cut automatically by a machine) to an appropriate length, for example about 300-2000 mm, and formed. The width, thickness and length of the flexible sheet 1 are determined according to the size of the artificial flower to be produced. The size of the artificial flower may be various sizes such as a small artificial flower with an overall vertical length of 10 mm and a large artificial flower with an overall vertical length of 1000 mm. As for the color of the flexible sheet 1, sheets of various colors such as white, black and the like can be used (the same applies to the petal-like sheet described later). In this embodiment, for example, a flexible sheet having a width of 25 mm and a thickness of 1 to 2 mm is wound into a roll and cut into a size of 600 mm using a cutter or scissors.

Next, the sheet cut as described above is cut from one edge to the other using scissors or the like so that a large number of needle-like or projecting portions indicated by reference numeral 2a in FIG. 2(a) are formed. Incisions are made in the width direction (a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction) or cut in a substantially V shape (automatic cutting by a machine may be used) up to halfway toward the edge. This needle-like or protruding portion 2a (Fig. 2(a)) constitutes a portion that simulates "a stamen or pistil of a flower" in the flower core. 2(b), 2c in FIG. 2(c), 2d in FIG. 3(a), 2e in FIG. 3(b), and 2f in FIG. Another example of a large number of needle-like or projection-like portions formed by a method similar to 1 is shown.

Next, the needle-shaped or projecting portions 2a to 2f formed as described above are heated with, for example, an iron or a dryer, and deformed so as to curve (curl) in one direction (or multiple directions) (Fig. 4(a) ) or the example shown in Fig. 4(b), for example, for a large number of needle-like or thin protrusion-like portions formed by finely cutting from one edge toward the other edge to the middle portion as described above. When an iron is applied from one side of the iron and heated to, for example, about 30 to about 90 degrees, the many needle-like or thin protrusion-like portions expand on the side of the ironed side, and the whole 4(a) or 4(b)). Further, the needle-like or projecting portions 2a to 2f formed as described above are deformed so as to be randomly bent in many directions (example shown in FIG. 4(c). An iron is applied from one surface to a large number of needle-like or thin protrusion-like portions formed by finely cutting the sheet to the middle portion toward the edge, and the iron is applied to the sheet while heating at a temperature within the above range. By moving finely and quickly substantially parallel to the surface (finely vibrating substantially parallel to the surface), as shown in FIG. bending or deforming parts apart). As a result, a flower core sheet 2 (an elongated sheet having curved needle-like or projecting portions 2a to 2f shown in FIG. 4) is formed. The flower core sheet 2 is made of foamed thermoplastic resin, and the needle-like or projecting portions 2a to 2f are part of the flower core sheet 2. Therefore, it can be easily removed by heating with an iron or the like. can be transformed into The temperature to be heated by the iron or the like depends on the type of foamed thermoplastic resin selected, that is, the melting point temperature at which the thermoplastic resin softens when heated, and can be set to various heating temperatures, for example, 30 to 100 degrees or more. is possible (the above processes such as heating and bending may be automatically performed by a machine). Since the flower center sheet 2 is made of foamed thermoplastic resin, if the temperature is lowered to room temperature after being curved at the stage of heating as described above, the curved shape is maintained as it is.

Next, the florist sheet 2 having the needle-like or projecting portions 2a to 2f produced as described above, and moreover, a plurality (plural types) of the florist sheet 2 are sequentially wound a predetermined number of times. to form a substantially cylindrical inflorescence part 4 (see FIGS. 5 and 6). may be limited to a predetermined number of windings.Also, the above-described winding operation may be automatically performed by a machine.As described above, a plurality of (plural types of) When the floret sheet 2 is sequentially wound a predetermined number of times, adjacent portions forming the vicinity of the joints of the plurality of florist sheets 2 are fixed to each other with an adhesive or the like. How many times the core sheet 2 should be wound and, as a result, what size the substantially cylindrical diameter of the flower core part 4 should be should vary depending on the size of the artificial flower to be produced. Examples of the size of the diameter of the substantially cylindrical flat surface side of the flower core part 4 vary from 10 mm to 100 mm, for example, depending on the size of the artificial flower to be produced.
