Description

The present invention mainly relates to a method for manufacturing a plant decoration using dried plants such as pressed flowers.

Conventionally, the method for manufacturing pressed flowers and other plant decorations involves placing a pressed flower preservative such as an oxygen absorber or desiccant on a moisture-proof sheet such as aluminum foil, excluding the outer periphery, and placing a base plate on the base plate. A pressed flower arrangement step of placing pressed flowers on the base plate before and after the base plate arrangement process, and a pressed flower arrangement process of placing pressed flowers on the outer periphery of the base plate either before or after the pressed flower arrangement process. An adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive application step of applying an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive in a ring shape to the moisture-proof sheet, and after the adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive application step and the pressed flower arrangement step, a glass plate is applied to cover the moisture-proof sheet. Alternatively, there is a sealing process in which a transparent plate such as an acrylic plate is positioned and the outer periphery is fixed with the adhesive or adhesive except for a part of the air vent, and after this sealing process, a pipe material such as a straw is used from the air vent. The air between the transparent plate and the moisture-proof sheet is discharged to the outside using a vacuum pump or spout, the pipe material is extracted, and the air-venting part is fixed. After this air-breathing process, the adhesive of the moisture-proof sheet is removed. Alternatively, it is characterized by including a wrinkle-preventing sealing step of applying a cured resin in a frame shape to the back area coated with the adhesive or fixing the wrinkle prevention plate in the frame shape with adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, etc. A method for producing pressed flower decorations is known (Patent Document 1).

However, with this method of manufacturing pressed flower decorations, although it is possible to prevent air from entering due to wrinkles in the moisture-proof sheet such as aluminum foil, once a transparent plate such as a glass plate is attached with adhesive, it is not strong enough. There are problems in that the pressed flowers cannot be removed without cutting the moisture-proof sheet or the arrangement of the pressed flowers cannot be changed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments for carrying out the invention shown in the drawings.
In a first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, 1 is a method for manufacturing a plant decoration 3 using dried plants 2 such as pressed flowers, dried flowers, preserved flowers, etc. .

In method 1 for producing a plant decoration, a crease 21 is formed by bending the moisture-proof sheet 20 near the outer periphery in an annular shape so that the inner surface of the folded part becomes a slightly concave shape or a concave-like bent part on the inside. A plant storage container creation step 22 in which the storage container 5 is created; and a plant placement step 11 in which the dried plants 2 are placed inside the recess-shaped bending portion inside the fold 21 formed in the plant storage container creation step 22. Then, a coating agent 7 such as oil or fat or hot melt resin is applied in a thin annular manner to either the periphery of the fold 21 or one side of the transparent plate 6 facing the periphery of the fold 21 to form a coating 7a. In step 8, a ring is formed around at least the fold 21 or on one side of the transparent plate 6 so that the adhesive 9 is located in the area where the film agent 7 is applied in the film forming step 8. The method includes a bonding step 10 of applying the adhesive 9, sealing the dried plant 2, and bonding the transparent plate 6 so that the film 7a and the adhesive 9 overlap.

In the plant storage container creation step 22, the vicinity of the outer periphery of the moisture-proof sheet 20, where folds 21 are formed by folding aluminum foil, metallized film, etc., is folded to form annular folds 21 in the moisture-proof sheet 20. The inside of this fold 21 (the annular part surrounded by the first outer fold 21 and the second inner fold 21) is formed with a plurality of folds 21, 21 so that the inner side becomes a slightly concave or concave-shaped bending part. It is desirable to form a In this embodiment, the moisture-proof sheet 20 in which the recess is formed becomes the plant storage container 5, and the recess-shaped part inside the fold line 21 becomes the part in which the dried plant 2 is placed.

Note that the term "near the outer periphery" here includes a region outside the region where the dried plant 2 is placed, and does not necessarily refer only to the vicinity of the outer edge of the moisture-proof sheet 20.

The fold 21 is formed to have a polygonal shape such as a triangle or a quadrangle, or an annular shape such as a circle, and in this embodiment, the fold is formed to have a substantially square shape when viewed from above. Further, the fold line 21 is formed in a double (double line shape) with an interval of about 1 mm to 10 mm, preferably about 5 mm, and in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. By using a ruler-shaped plate material 23, pressing one side bottom surface (long side surface) of this plate material 23 against the moisture-proof sheet 20, and bending the moisture-proof sheet 20 along the edge of the one side bottom surface of the plate material 23, A double line fold is formed with a gap of approximately 5 mm. At this time, by forming a crease while holding down the inner side 20a of the fold line 20 with a finger, the moisture-proof sheet 20 is slightly bent and the crease is formed, so that the inner side 20a portion is formed in a slightly concave shape. In this way, by using the plate material 23 and pressing it with your fingers, you can manually create a concave surface of any size. The number of folds 21 is preferably two (double line), but may be one.

In the plant arrangement step 11, as shown in FIG. 4, dried plants 2 such as pressed flowers are temporarily attached to the upper surface (surface) of the mount 15 using an adhesive or adhesive tape, if necessary, and the plant storage container 5, That is, it is arranged in a concave portion of the moisture-proof sheet 20. Note that the back side of the mount 15 may also contain plant preservatives such as desiccants and oxygen scavengers, dehumidifiers, and the like.

In the film forming step 8, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, the area around the fold line 21 of the plant storage container 5 or an appropriate area of the transparent plate 6 (for example, the area near the peripheral edge opposite to the area around the fold line 21) is coated. This is a step of applying a coating agent 7 such as oil or fat or hot-melting resin in a thin annular shape to one of the two to form a thin coating 7a on the surface of the transparent plate 6 or around the fold line 21 of the plant storage container 5. In this embodiment, vaseline as a coating agent 7 is applied thinly to a transparent plate 6 such as glass or acrylic plate in an annular manner. Specifically, when coating a transparent plate 6 such as glass, the coating is applied so thinly that the glass plate becomes slightly cloudy.

By the way, as the coating agent 7, oils and fats such as vaseline, glycerin, beeswax, and wax, and heat-melting resins that melt with heat such as urethane resin and vinyl acetate can be applied. In addition, in this step, the area around the fold line 21 includes the position of the fold line 21, and preferably excludes the recessed area (inner side 20a of the fold line 21) in which the dried plant 2 is placed. Either of the film forming step 8 and the plant arrangement step 11 may be performed first.

In the adhesion step 10, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the adhesive 9 is positioned on the area where the film agent 7 was applied in the film forming step 8, that is, when the transparent plate 6 is adhered, the adhesive 9 is placed on the area where the film agent 7 is applied. Adhesive 9 is applied so that the adhesive 9 overlaps. In this embodiment, the adhesive 9 is applied in an annular manner around the fold line 21. Note that the coating agent 7 and adhesive 9 may be applied together either around the fold line 21 or on the transparent plate 6, or as in this embodiment, the coating agent 7 and the adhesive 9 may be applied to the member on which the coating agent 7 is not applied. Adhesive 9 may be applied to.

This adhesive 9 is preferably one that solidifies by absorbing moisture in the air, and in this embodiment, resin, silylated urethane resin, or the like is used as the adhesive 9. By the way, as the adhesive 9, not only a so-called adhesive but also an adhesive or the like can be used.

After applying the adhesive 9, the transparent plate 6 and the periphery of the fold line 21 of the plant storage container 5 are adhered so as to seal the opening 4. By bonding the periphery of the fold line 21 and the transparent plate 6 with the coating agent 7 and the adhesive 9 overlapping each other in this way, for example, by heating the bonded area, the coating agent 7 is dissolved and the adhesive strength is increased. becomes weaker, and the dried plants 2 inside can be taken out and rearranged without cutting the plant storage container 5. Moreover, the plant decoration 3 can be regenerated by wiping the film agent 7 and the adhesive 9 with alcohol or the like and performing the film forming step 8 and the bonding step 10 again.

By the way, in this adhesion step 10, it is desirable to perform a sealing step 12 at the same time in which air is removed from the recessed portion of the plant storage container 5 in which the dried plant 2 is placed.

In the sealing step 12, one part of the recessed part of the plant storage container 5 is sealed in order to form an air vent for removing air from inside the recessed part (the part where the dried plants 2 are placed). After placing a straw or the like in the corner of the container, place the transparent plate 6 and glue the area around the opening of the plant storage container 5A and the transparent plate 6 with adhesive 9 so that there are no gaps other than the inside of the straw. Fix it. Thereafter, the air inside is sucked through the straw, and when the air has been sufficiently removed, the hole where the straw was placed is plugged with adhesive 9 while the straw is pulled out to prevent air from entering the inside, and the hole where the straw was placed is sealed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the storage step 14 is a step of storing the plant decoration 3 (plant storage container 5 and transparent plate 6 fixed) in the frame 13, and the plant decoration 3A after this step is completed. good. By the way, in order to prevent the plant storage container 5 etc. from being seen when placed in the picture frame 13, a cover plate 17 etc. having a through hole 16 is interposed between the plant decoration 3 and the picture frame 13, and the back plate 18 is used to close the picture frame. It is desirable to store it inside 13.

[Different forms for carrying out the invention]
Next, different embodiments for implementing the present invention shown in FIGS. 8 to 16 will be explained. In addition, in describing these different embodiments for carrying out the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

A second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 8 to 13 is mainly different from the first embodiment in that it has a square or rectangular opening 4 on one side surface, and has a square or rectangular opening 4 on one side surface. This is done after performing an adhesion step 10A in which the upper surface of the flange 4a and one side surface corresponding to the upper surface of the transparent plate 6 are fixed with an adhesive 9 using a bag-shaped plant storage container 5A having an entrance formed in the opening. The method 1A for producing a plant decoration also has the advantages of the present invention in that the plant placement step 11A of placing the dried plants 2 into the plant storage container 5A from the entrance or opening 4 is performed, and the sealing step 12 is performed. The same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

Plant decoration manufacturing method 1 includes, for example, a bag-shaped plant storage container 5A having a square or rectangular opening 4 on one side surface and an entrance formed at one end, around the opening 4, or a film forming step 8 of forming a film 7a by applying a thin annular coating agent 7 such as oil or fat or hot melt resin on one side of the square or rectangular transparent plate 6 larger than the opening 4; The adhesive is applied in an annular manner either around the opening 4 or on one side of the transparent plate 6 so that the adhesive 9 is located at the area where the coating agent 7 such as oil or fat or hot melt resin is applied in the coating forming step 8. A bonding step 10 of applying the agent 9 and sealing the opening 4, thereby bonding the transparent plate 6 so that the film 7a and the adhesive 9 are overlapped; It consists of a plant arrangement step 11A in which dried plants 2 are arranged, a sealing step 12 in which air is sucked out from inside the plant storage container 5A and sealed, and a storage step 14 in which the plant storage container 5 is stored in a frame 13. .

In this embodiment, the film forming step 8 is performed at least around the opening 4 on one side surface of the flat plant storage container 5 or at an appropriate part of the transparent plate 6 (for example, near the peripheral end opposite to the periphery of the opening 4). A coating agent 7 such as oil or fat or hot melt resin is applied thinly and annularly to either one of the parts (parts) to form a thin film 7a on the surface of the transparent plate 6 or around the opening 4 of the plant storage container 5.

In the adhesion step 10, as shown in FIG. 9, first, the adhesive 9 is positioned on the area where the film agent 7 was applied in the film forming step 8, that is, when the transparent plate 6 is adhered, the adhesive 9 is placed on the area where the film agent 7 is applied. Adhesive 9 is applied so that the adhesive 9 overlaps. In this embodiment, the adhesive 9 is applied in a ring shape around the opening 4.

After applying the adhesive 9, the transparent plate 6 and the periphery of the opening 4 of the plant storage container 5 are adhered so as to seal the opening 4. By bonding the transparent plate 6 to the periphery of the opening 4 with the coating agent 7 and the adhesive 9 overlapping each other in this manner, for example, by heating the bonded portion, the coating agent 7 melts and the adhesive is bonded. The force is weakened, and the dried plants 2 inside can be taken out and rearranged without cutting the plant storage container 5.

Moreover, the plant decoration 3 can be regenerated by wiping the film agent 7 and the adhesive 9 with alcohol or the like and performing the film forming step 8 and the bonding step 10 again.

In the plant arrangement step 11A, as shown in FIG. 10, dried plants 2 such as pressed flowers are temporarily attached to the upper surface (surface) of the mount 15 using adhesive or adhesive tape as needed, and the plant is stored in a bag. Place it in container 5. At this time, the dried plant 2 is arranged so that it can be visually recognized from the opening 4. Moreover, it is preferable to store plant preservatives such as desiccant and oxygen scavenger, dehumidifier, etc. inside the plant storage container 5A.

In this embodiment, the plant placement step 11A is performed after the adhesion step 10, but the plant placement step 11A may be performed first or after the film forming step 8A. In addition, when arranging the dried plants 2, if the plant arranging step 11A is performed before the adhesion step 10, they may be arranged through the opening 4, or an opening may be formed other than the opening 4, Dried plants 2 may be placed through the opening. In this embodiment, the end of the plant storage container 5A is cut off at a portion other than the opening 4, and the dried plant 2 is inserted and placed through the opening.

The sealing step 12 is a step of sealing the inside of the plant storage container 5A, as shown in FIG. Seal by heat sealing etc. while degassing. In this embodiment, an opening is formed at one end of the bag-shaped plant storage container 5A, and the dried plants 2 are inserted through the opening, so this opening is sealed by adhesive, welding, or the like.

Note that if the dried plant 2 or the like is placed through the opening 4 and there is no opening other than this opening 4, when performing the bonding step 10 similarly to the first embodiment, the transparent plate is removed while degassing. 6 and the periphery of the opening 4, the sealing step 12 is also performed at the same time.

As shown in FIG. 12, the storage step 14 is a step of storing the plant decoration 3B (plant storage container 5 and transparent plate 6 fixed) in the frame 13, and the plant decoration 3C after this step is completed. good. By the way, as shown in FIG. 13, a cover plate 17 having a through hole 16 is interposed between the plant decoration 3B and the frame 13 so that the plant storage container 5 etc. cannot be seen when it is housed in the frame 13. It is desirable to store it inside the frame 13 using the back plate 18.

In the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the main difference from the first embodiment is that a dry plant placement step 11B of placing dried plants on a flat moisture-proof sheet 20 is performed. In this plant arrangement step 11B, a film agent 7 is applied thinly and annularly to either the area where the dried plants 2 are placed or one side of the transparent plate 6 facing the area where the dried plants 2 are placed to form a film 7a. At least around the area where the dried plant 2 is placed or on the transparent plate 6 so that the adhesive 9 is located at the area where the coating agent 7 is applied in the film forming process 8. An adhesion step of applying the adhesive 9 in a ring shape to either one side and sealing the dried plant 2, thereby adhering the transparent plate 6 so that the film 7a and the adhesive 9 overlap. In that the plant decoration 3D is manufactured by carrying out step 10B, the same effects as in the first embodiment of the present invention can be obtained even in the method 1B for manufacturing a plant decoration. In this embodiment as well, similarly to the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the storage step 14 may be performed and the items stored in the frame may be used as plant decorations.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the storage process is performed, but the storage process does not necessarily have to be performed.
