(57) [Abstract] [PROBLEMS] To maintain the fresh state of cut flowers for a long period of time. SOLUTION: An appropriate amount of a chemical such as a curing agent 4 is applied to a part (stem neck 3A) of a cut flower stem 3 or the like or the entire cut flower, and dried and hardened.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to an art flower (processed flower) using a natural raw cut flower (including leaves and stems). In the present invention, "cut flowers" refers not only to flower-bearing flowers, but to all plants such as ornamental plants and trees.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, ordinary fresh flowers, especially cut flowers, die and scatter within a week to 10 days after cutting. Therefore, in order to keep the freshness of flowers for a long time, we have put a life-prolonging agent for flowers in the water in the vase (vase, basin, etc.). In addition, dried flowers, art flowers made of cloth, paper, resin, etc. are widely used as ornaments that can be enjoyed for a long time.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, even with the conventional means for prolonging the life of a cut flower, the stem portion, especially the neck portion 11 of the flower 10 bends and withers in about one week at the longest, as illustrated in FIG. The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to maintain the natural fresh condition of cut flowers for a long period (for example, 1 to several months). The purpose is to provide art flowers using cut flowers that can be enjoyed.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, the present invention is characterized in that an appropriate amount of chemicals is attached to a part of the stem of a cut flower or the whole cut flower. In this case, the chemical applied to the stems of cut flowers penetrates leaves and petals, prevents water evaporation, and retains the freshness of flowers for a long time.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the chemical is a hardener, a vegetable oil, a silicone oil, a varnish or the like alone or in a mixture. Therefore, the above-mentioned chemicals can be selected and used according to the type and properties of cut flowers. Then, in order to facilitate application and facilitate adhesion / penetration, chemicals can be mixed and diluted to improve fluidity.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a chemical is applied to the cut flowers by spraying, and then the cut flowers are naturally dried to be cured. In this case, by diluting the chemicals and spraying the cut flowers, such as cut flowers, which cannot be applied with a brush, the chemicals can be uniformly attached to the whole, and the freshness of the entire cut flowers is maintained for a long period of time.

[0007]

[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which an art flower 1 is a chemical example, such as a neck 3A of a stem 3 having a lot of water and softness under a sepal 2 of a cut flower obtained by cutting a raw flower. For example, the curing agent 4 (cyanoacrylate adhesive = Aron Alpha (trademark)) is applied in an appropriate amount to cure the stem / neck portion 3A. When the curing agent 4 is applied to the outer surface of the stem 3A, it penetrates into the stem 3 (see FIG. 2) and also penetrates the petals 5 and leaves 6 to cure.

[0008] Therefore, the water in the cut flowers is trapped in the cut flowers to prevent evaporation, so that the fresh state of the cut flowers immediately after being cut is maintained as it is for a long period of time, and the life is greatly extended. Further, the curing agent 4 can be applied to the entire cut flowers. As the chemical, an aqueous varnish or a mixture of vegetable oil (for example, edible oil) and industrial silicone oil (liquid) can be used instead of the curing agent. The vegetable oil is used to dilute the industrial silicone oil to improve the fluidity, and it can be applied by spraying depending on the thinness.

When it is troublesome to apply the curing agent 4 with a brush like cut flowers of cut flowers, the curing agent 4 is diluted, sprayed and applied to the entire surface of the cut flowers, and naturally dried to harden. Preferably. The curing agent 4 is preferably selected and used according to the type and nature of cut flowers, and the application amount is preferably adjusted appropriately according to the type, nature and size of cut flowers.

In the present invention, as the chemical, in addition to the curing agent 4 or the like, a transparent resin (emulsion) type paint made of synthetic resin can be adopted. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various kinds of art flowers can be prepared by selectively applying a chemical to a particularly weak portion of a cut flower and applying it.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention is characterized in that an appropriate amount of a chemical is attached to a part of the cut flower stem or the like or the entire cut flower. It can be maintained for a long period of time, valuing fresh flowers and improving economic efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, since the chemical is characterized by being a single agent or a mixture of a curing agent, vegetable oil, silicone oil, varnish, etc., the chemical can be easily and surely attached to the cut flowers, and a high quality You can get the art flower economically. In addition, the chemicals are characterized by spraying and penetrating the cut flowers with chemicals and then curing by natural drying, so that the chemicals can be easily and uniformly adhered to the cut flowers. Especially, it is most suitable for cut flowers that are troublesome to apply with a brush such as Kasumi grass, and can be efficiently done.
