Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a closed container, and more particularly to a forehead on which dried flowers stored in a closed state can be viewed from the outside.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Dried flowers are known that can be viewed for a long time by drying the flowers to prevent them from decaying. For this dried flower, it is essential for long-term storage to prevent it from absorbing moisture in addition to sufficient drying during production. In particular, moisture absorption during long-term storage causes problems such as discoloration and spoilage of manufactured dried flowers, so sufficient measures must be taken.

Moisture protection during the appreciation period after the production is achieved by storing a desiccant such as silica gel and the dried flowers produced in a highly airtight closed container.

On the other hand, the stored dried flowers must be viewable from the outside, that is, the container needs to be made of a transparent material such as glass. Therefore, in the past, it was manufactured by full-scale glass, and the glass was sealed with a complicated seal structure.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional full-glass container has the following problems when used as a forehead. That is, (1) it is expensive, (2) it is heavy, (3) it is necessary to provide a seal structure at all the glass-to-glass joints, and (4) it is easily damaged and is not easy to handle. Be careful, etc.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an inexpensive and lightweight airtight frame for storing dried flowers that does not have these problems.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a box body having an open front surface, a transparent lid which closes the front surface and forms an airtight closed space by the box body and the lid, and a position between the box body and the lid. Then, the packing for increasing the airtightness of the closed space, the frame means for fixing the box body and the lid sandwiching the packing along the peripheral edge thereof, and the frame housed inside the closed space An airtight frame for storing and storing dried flowers, which has a dry life lawn and a desiccant placed inside the closed space.

[0008] The box body only needs to be able to store dried flowers, desiccants, etc. inside thereof, and may be a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a cylinder, a cone, a polygonal column, a polygonal weight, a sphere, or the like. Although it may have a shape, a rectangular parallelepiped is preferable in consideration of convenience of use. However, it is necessary to have an opening for taking in and out a dried flower or a desiccant, and it is desirable that the opening is the entire front surface in consideration of workability. Further, as the material for manufacturing the box body, any material having high airtightness such that the dried flowers stored therein do not absorb moisture can be used, and any material such as metal, glass, pottery, timber, plastic and the like can be used. . In particular, metal cans and plastic integrally-molded products are preferable because their high airtightness and the use of waste products can significantly reduce the cost.

The lid must be capable of closing the open front side of the box and forming an airtight closed space. Therefore, it must have a shape such that the open front edge and the lid fit almost snugly. This does not necessarily mean that the size of the open front edge and the size of the lid are the same. For example, even if the size of the lid is larger than the front edge, there is no problem as long as they can be airtightly joined. Therefore, the overall shape of the lid may be any shape such as flat plate, hemispherical, and cylindrical as long as the above conditions are satisfied, but it is preferable that the shape of the lid is flat in view of easy handling and opening / closing of the cover. In addition, the lid must be transparent so that the stored dried flowers can be seen from the outside. However, it is not necessary that the entire front surface be transparent, and it is sufficient if the area necessary for viewing dried flowers is transparent. Further, as the material of the lid, any transparent material can be used, and for example, glass, plastic, rubber or the like can be preferably used.

The packing is located between the box body and the lid and is used to enhance the airtightness of the closed space formed by the box body and the lid. The packing may have any shape as long as it fits snugly between the box and the lid. However, in order to retain the packing and improve the airtightness, it is preferable that the packing has a notch along the longitudinal direction of the packing such that the edge of the open front surface of the box fits into the packing. Further, it is effective to achieve the above object that the open front edge of the box and the packing are bonded. The material of the packing may be a material that constitutes a normal packing, such as rubber. The type of rubber is not particularly limited, and natural rubber and synthetic rubber are preferably used without distinction. In order to further improve the airtightness, it is also effective to bond the packing and the lid or to interpose a double-sided tape between them.

The frame means is used to fix the box body and the lid that sandwich the packing along the periphery thereof. This can be achieved by adhering the packing, box and lid, but it is inconvenient when replacing the stored dry flowers and desiccant, so it is desirable to make it easy to install and remove. For example, a device that presses the lid toward the box can be used. As an example, a plurality of removable springs may be provided between the outer periphery of the lid and the bottom of the box, and the lid may be pressed toward the box by the force of the springs.

An insole may be provided inside the box body, for example, for containing a desiccant. In particular, in order to prevent moisture absorption of dried flowers as described above, it is necessary to put a desiccant inside the box. In this case, if the desiccant is visible from the outside, the aesthetics will be impaired. It is desirable to provide it.

As the material for the insole, any material such as metal, glass, pottery, timber, plastic can be used as well as the material for the box body. The insole may be installed in any part inside the box, but may be fixed to the box by any method such as welding, bonding, screwing, or fitting.

As the desiccant, a general one such as silica gel can be used.
