DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a combined manufacturing device of pressed flowers and laminated pressed flowers for use as arts and crafts and accessories.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various devices have been devised for preparing pressed flowers. For example, there are devices that use far-infrared energy for dehydrating pressed flowers, use true vacuum heating, and use a special desiccant or a special film.

[0003] In addition, as the simplest thing that can be used at home or in a travel destination, flowers are covered with a plastic sheet together with silica gel for drying, and the flowers are dried for 3 to 4 days. As described in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 1-87102, like a pressed flower manufacturing device devised by the present applicant, two pressing plates for holding a target plant, and a pressing plate provided between the plant and the pressing plate are provided. A first bag body having a buffer material and a hygroscopic agent such as silica gel, and configured such that the opening is sealed, and the same as the above, which is overlapped or integrally formed on the first bag body. Uses a device consisting of a plastic film, cloth, etc., which has a pressing plate, a heating element capable of self-heating in which iron powder, activated carbon, etc. are housed, and which is composed of an unsealed second bag body. There was something to do.

[0004] Similarly, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-135901
There is also a flower press having a chemical heating layer capable of self-heating as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H10-150, and when the press flower manufacturing apparatus and the flower press are both dried, the water vapor of the target plant is evaporated when the water is evaporated. In order to prevent dew condensation on the apparatus, a press plate having a vent hole is used.

[0005]

However, in the case of natural drying using the above-mentioned silica gel or the like, it takes a considerable amount of time to finish as a pressed flower, and the type of flower that does not have a beautiful finish (even with the same kind) There is a drawback that there is a lot of difficulty when it is a little thick.)

[0006] Also, a press flower manufacturing apparatus described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 1-87102 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-1359 are disclosed.
The presser described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 01 can be used at home or in a travel destination, but since a heating element (chemical heating layer) capable of self-heating is used, the drying temperature is particularly adjusted. Can not be performed, even at high temperatures, about 55-70 ° C
I could only do it.

[0007] Therefore, when the pressing treatment is carried out at a temperature of 55 to 70 ° C as described above, especially when leaves (plants) having chloroplasts are used as pressed flowers, the green color of grass and leaves is considerably dull and dry. There was a defect that it was browned. In addition, herbs with a lot of juice, such as begonia species, could not be finished as pressed flowers.

[0008] Further, if the treatment is performed at the above-mentioned temperature (low temperature), it can be produced in any short time, but it takes at least 24 hours (see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-135901).

Further, the above-mentioned pressed flower manufacturing apparatus or pressed flower container is intended only for the production of pressed flowers. Therefore, the prepared pressed flowers are laminated with a thin plastic film, and a laminated product such as a bookmark or a wall is mounted. In order to produce a special pressed flower card , a special roller-type tool, an iron or the like may be used, or a dedicated pressed flower card may be produced as described in JP-A-60-19600.
It had to be separately processed to use the equipment .

[0010] In view of the above problems, the present invention is an improvement of an apparatus for producing pressed flowers by the above-mentioned pressing treatment, and requires no hygroscopic agent such as silica gel for drying regardless of the target plant. Can be completed easily and in a very short time anywhere by the simplest method, and when the finish is desired, a beautiful pressed flower can be produced without discoloration. only a Pressed Flower made device
No, it is an object to provide a combined manufacturing device of pressed flowers and laminated pressed flowers that can also produce a pressed flowers of laminated products at this manufacturing device.
