[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing an artificial flower using paper or cloth as a material and combining them to form flowers, leaves and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional artificial flower, a combination of molded plastic products such as so-called Hong Kong flower is widely known, but the color and shape are poorly changed and the appearance is inferior.

[0003] In the field of handicrafts and the like, it is necessary to cut paper or cloth into the shape of petals or leaves to form an artificial flower material, color the material, and combine it with a desired structure to form a variety of artificial flowers. Is being done. In order to improve the feeling of the petals and leaves, wax is applied to the artificial flower material.

[0004]

However, although the texture of the artificial flower material coated with wax is considerably improved, the material becomes hard and may break when the petals and leaves are bent, and may deteriorate when left for a long period of time. May crack or whiten.

In order to apply wax to artificial flower materials,
It is necessary to heat and melt the wax, and the molten wax may ignite, which is problematic in terms of safety when implemented in the field of handicrafts.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can be implemented safely at home, and the resulting artificial flower has a good texture and does not break or whiten. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method that can make artificial flowers rich in variety.

[0007]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of combining artificial flower materials made of paper or cloth in the shape of petals, leaves, etc. to produce artificial flowers, wherein the artificial flower material is colored in a desired color. In addition, a fluororesin liquid is applied to the artificial flower material, and thereafter, a soft and transparent curable silicone resin liquid is applied to the colored artificial flower material and cured.

In the method of the present invention, before coloring the artificial flower material, an acrylic resin solution can be applied to the artificial flower material and dried.

[0009] The second invention of the present application is a method of forming an artificial flower by combining an artificial flower material made of paper or cloth in the shape of petals, leaves, etc., wherein a polyurethane paint is applied to the artificial flower material, dried and cured. After applying an aqueous white paint to the artificial flower material, it is colored to the desired color,
It is characterized in that a fluororesin liquid is applied to the artificial flower material, and then a soft and transparent curable silicone resin liquid is applied and cured to the colored artificial flower material.

[0010] In the method of the present invention, it is preferable that the fluororesin liquid is partially applied to the artificial flower material.

[0011]

The present invention will be described below with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 shows an artificial flower made according to the present invention.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a flower part, which is a combination of a plurality of artificial flower materials 2 shaped like petals. Reference numeral 3 denotes a leaf portion, which is made of an artificial flower material 4 shaped like a leaf.

The flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 are attached to a stem portion 6 in which a material such as paper is wound around a wire 5 and further combined to form an artificial flower.

It should be noted that the term "artificial flower" in the present invention does not need to have all of the flower 1, leaf 3 and stem 6, but depends on the type of plant to be imitated and on the purpose of artificial flower. In addition, it also includes those composed only of the flower part 1 and those composed only of the leaf part 3, and those composed of only the flower part 1 or the leaf part 3 attached to the stem 6. In addition, components other than the flower portion 1, the leaf portion 3, and the stem portion 6, for example, a member imitating a vine or a fruit can be added.

Next, a specific procedure for producing the artificial flower will be described.

Embodiment 1 First, sheet-shaped materials such as paper and cloth are cut to produce artificial flower materials 2 and 4 in the form of petals or leaves, and the desired colors are applied to the artificial flowers by watercolor paint or the like. And this artificial flower material 2, 4
Are combined to form a flower 1 and a leaf 3, and a stem 6 is attached to the flower 1 and the leaf 3.

Next, a fluororesin solution is applied to the flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 and dried, and then the flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 are further applied.
Is dipped and applied to a soft and transparent curable silicone resin liquid and dried. If necessary, the dip coating of the curable silicone resin liquid is repeated to form a silicone resin film having a desired thickness and feeling on the surfaces of the artificial flower materials 2 and 4.

Thereafter, the flowers 1 and the leaves 3 are combined in a desired arrangement, and the stems 6 are bundled to assemble an artificial flower.

As the sheet-like material for making the artificial flower materials 2 and 4, a thin cloth or paper can be used, and crepe paper for handicraft is suitable.

In order to apply colors to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4, after cutting the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 from a white sheet material,
The artificial flower materials 2 and 4 may be cut from a sheet material that has been colored in advance by painting with watercolor paint or the like.
It is also possible to combine the flower parts 1 and the leaves 3 with the white artificial flower materials 2 and 4 as they are, and then paint the individual artificial flower materials 2 and 4 for coloring.

The timing of applying the curable silicone resin liquid to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 does not matter, but it should be performed at least after the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 are colored. As the curable silicone resin liquid to be applied, it is preferable to use a soft and transparent liquid which has rubber elasticity when cured.

As a method of applying the curable silicone resin liquid, dip coating is simple as described above, but it is also possible to coat the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 with a brush. While dip coating is a simple process, it is difficult to adjust the partial thickness.
In addition, a portion where petals overlap is likely to adhere thickly, but the thickness of application can be partially and freely adjusted by applying with a brush. Alternatively, after the dip coating is performed once or twice, the curable silicone resin liquid may be partially applied to a desired thickness with a brush and applied.

In addition, the curable silicone resin liquid is applied not only to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 of the flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 but also to the stem portion 6 so that the entire flower portion 1, leaf portion 3 and stem portion 6 are formed. And a uniform appearance and feeling.

The viscosity of the curable silicone resin liquid is 20 to 1
A value of about 0000 cp is appropriate. Flower part 1 and leaf part 3
When the resin liquid is applied by dip coating, the viscosity of the resin liquid is preferably relatively low, and preferably about 20 to 500 cp. When applying the resin liquid with a brush, 300
It is preferable to use one having a relatively high viscosity of about 1 to 10,000 cp. A commercially available curable silicone resin liquid is diluted with an appropriate solvent and used with a viscosity that is easy to use.

In the present invention, by applying the fluororesin liquid to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 before applying the curable silicon resin liquid , the curable silicon resin liquid locally adheres excessively. To prevent

In particular, when the curable silicone resin liquid is applied in a state where the artificial flower material 2 is combined with the flower portion 1, the artificial flower material 2 approaches in the valley of the petals, and the curable silicone material is interposed between the artificial flower materials 2 by surface tension. Since a large amount of the resin liquid adheres, by applying the fluororesin liquid in advance between the valleys of the petals, the amount of the curable silicone resin liquid applied can be reduced, and the beautiful flower portion 1 can be obtained.

The timing of applying the fluororesin liquid should be performed before applying the curable silicone resin liquid.
The time is not particularly limited. The artificial flower materials 2 and 4 may be applied in a cut state, or may be applied after the flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 are assembled. Further, it can be applied before coloring the artificial flower materials 2 and 4.

Embodiment 2 Next, another specific procedure for producing this artificial flower will be described. A sheet material such as crepe paper is cut to produce artificial flower materials 2 and 4 in the shape of petals or leaves. The artificial flower materials 2 and 4 are immersed and applied in a fluororesin solution, dried, and then varnished with an acrylic resin. Apply and dry. Then, desired colors are applied to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 using a watercolor paint or the like, and the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 are combined to form a flower portion 1 and a leaf portion 3. The flower portion 1 and the leaf portion 3 have a stem portion 6. Install.

Next, the flower part 1 and the leaf part 3 are again coated with a fluororesin liquid and dried, and then the flower part 1 and the leaf part 3 are further dipped and applied to a soft and transparent curable silicone resin liquid and dried. Let it. If necessary, the dip coating of the curable silicone resin liquid is repeated to form a silicone resin film having a desired thickness and feeling on the surfaces of the artificial flower materials 2 and 4.

After that, the flowers 1 and the leaves 3 are combined in a desired arrangement, and the stems 6 are bundled to assemble an artificial flower.

In this method, the acrylic resin varnish should be applied before coloring the artificial flower materials 2 and 4.

Example 3 Next, still another specific procedure for producing this artificial flower will be described.
A sheet material such as crepe paper is cut to produce artificial flower materials 2 and 4 in the shape of petals or leaves.
4 are combined to form flower part 1 and leaf part 3.

Then, a polyurethane varnish is applied to the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 and dried and cured.
4 is undercoated with an aqueous white paint, and after the undercoat has dried, it is colored with an aqueous paint or the like.

After the paint is dried, it is immersed in a fluororesin liquid and dried, and then the flowers 1 and leaves 3 are immersed in a soft and transparent curable silicone resin liquid and dried. Repeat the dip coating of the curable silicone resin liquid as necessary,
A silicone resin film having a desired thickness and feeling is formed on the surfaces of the artificial flower materials 2 and 4.

After that, the flowers 1 and the leaves 3 are combined in a desired arrangement, and the stems 6 are bundled to assemble an artificial flower.

[0036]

According to the present invention, the artificial flower produced by the present invention is
And the leaf part 3 is flexible and elastic, and does not break even if the petals and leaves are bent, and can be expressed in a velvety feeling. Also, even if left for a long period of time, it does not crack or whiten unlike a wax-coated one.

Since the method of the present invention is carried out at room temperature,
There is no need to heat or melt as in the case of using a wax, and it is safe.

In the second aspect of the present invention, since the acrylic resin solution is applied prior to coloring, it is possible to prevent the paint from excessively seeping into the artificial flower materials 2 and 4, and to apply a subtle color to each color. it can.

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the curable silicone resin liquid or the acrylic resin penetrates into an artificial flower material such as crepe paper, and the curable silicone resin film layer is formed on the surface thereof. It becomes an artificial flower with a transparent hue.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the artificial flower materials 2, 4
Is applied with a polyurethane paint and dried and cured, and then a water-based white paint is applied and then colored. In this method, artificial flowers 2 and 4 are opaque, and artificial flowers having a unique pastel color are produced. Can be made.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, as described above, the fluororesin liquid is partially applied to places where a large amount of the curable silicone resin liquid tends to adhere, such as the valleys of petals. This makes it possible to suppress the local adhesion of the curable silicone resin liquid and make the liquid adhere evenly, thereby providing a beautiful artificial flower.

The artificial flower materials 2 and 4 are made of paper, cloth or the like.
To use a flexible material, to maintain its shape
Need to reinforce by attaching a thin wire,
According to the present invention, the artificial flower materials 2, 4 are hardened silicon trees.
Since the grease is applied to give strength, the wire
There is no need to reinforce it. Early in the process of manufacturing artificial flowers
In, the artificial flower materials 2 and 4 are reinforced with wires etc.
It is preferable to apply a silicone resin liquid to increase the strength.
After that, remove the wires etc. and only artificial flower materials 2 and 4
Process can be advanced with artificial flowers with a more natural appearance
Is obtained. Therefore, the method of the present invention is suitable for easily producing artificial flowers as a hobby at home or the like.
