JP3118143U - Bunch structure of artificial flowers that do not lose shape - Google Patents

Abstract

[Problem] When offering artificial flowers to a cemetery, simply bundling a plurality of flowers has a poor fixability in a flower stand or a vase, and they may be separated by wind or blown away by strong wind. It has been a long-standing challenge to bring the deceased's favorite flowers to a stable period in a flower stand, when there are no fresh flowers. In addition, there is a demand for stable fixing of flower trees for indoor decoration.
An artificial flower stem is made slightly longer and a plurality of bundles are bundled, and then the lower part of the stem is folded to form a looped folded structure. The loop-shaped bulge spreads outward and is stabilized by playing the role of a cushion inside the flower stand and the flower tube. The force of pushing the inside of the flower stand from the inside of the flower stand or the vase worked, and the movement of the bouquet stopped and stabilized. An artificial flower bouquet that has a simple structure and does not collapse even when exposed to wind and rain has been completed. Stabilization can be achieved only by the bulging structure of the stem part, and it can also be used as a decorative flower bed in a busy place.

Description

The present invention relates to an artificial flower structure that is used in interior decorations and graves, in which the bouquet is stable in a vase and does not collapse or dissipate due to wind and rain even when outdoors.

As flowers for offering tombs, fresh flowers such as buds, shikimi, chrysanthemum, and lily are most often used. However, fresh flowers usually have poor water uptake in about one week in the summer, or are usually exhausted and withered. Recently, long-lasting artificial flowers have been sold at supermarkets and home centers, and some graves are using them. However, in the case of a conventional flower stand, the diameter of the hole is large and it cannot be fixed even if bundled with artificial flowers. If the wind blows, the bundle rotates in the flower stand, and if the wind is strong, it jumps out of the flower stand. Often dissipated. The structural ingenuity to stabilize the artificial flowers in the flower stand has not been pioneered.

The bouquet structure that can withstand outdoor wind can be applied to interior decoration. When indoors, it is often the case that the bouquet is rotated and the position of the flower is broken by touching or touching the shoulder. Even in the flower stand placed on the surrounding stairs, the bouquet is often disturbed, but there was no technique for stable structure of artificial flowers, only to stick it like a sword or a sponge.

The prior patents were searched for the published patent front page at the JPO Patent Electronic Library. By searching for artificial flowers, bundles, bundle structures, bundling methods, graves, etc. as keywords and entering A41G1 / 00, E04H13 / 00 as IPC, one patent could be retrieved (Patent Document 1). However, this was a weight patent that hooked onto a band of flower bundles. If you remove the grave from the above keyword, you will find a general method of bundling artificial flowers. Patents for artificial flowers with a structure that can be easily attached to a dress (Patent Document 2), an artificial flower connector (Patent Document 3) that wraps a tape, and an artificial flower bundle with a plurality of stems covered with a resin layer (Patent Document) 4) Nothing related to the present invention was found in 10 cases. Next, when searching for utility models for beginners and searching for patents and utility models since 1993 for artificial flowers, 230 utility models could be searched, but if searching for artificial flowers, bundling methods, and bundle structures, patents There were zero utility models. From the above search results, it was found that there was no prior art related to the present invention.

Problems that the device tries to solve

Since the offering to the grave is more severe, describe the problem to be solved in that case. Up to now, a bunch of artificial flowers was not stable even if they were brought to the grave, and even if the arrangement of the corner flowers was designed, it often collapsed and became an unsightly bunch of artificial flowers. It was difficult to maintain a beautiful bunch of artificial flowers as the strong wind blows out from the flower stand. The purpose is to solve this problem and spread it not only indoors but also as a grave offering. In recent years, the improvement in light resistance and weather resistance of plastics and fiber fabrics, which are flower materials, has been remarkable, and materials that do not become unsightly even when exposed to sunlight or rain for several months can be used. It also admits that sand dust is washed by occasional rain and does not accumulate on flowers and leaves.

Means for solving the problem

The present inventor is not a method to insert into the hole of the flower stand and keep it out of shape and add other accessories. Came to devise a simple bouquet structure. In other words, when creating artificial flowers one by one, the length of the stem is slightly increased to make an artificial flower that can form a loop by a folded structure, and when the folded structure is arranged outward, the spring structure is completed. I devised that. In many cases, all flowers may be used when collecting 5 to 15 artificial flowers to form a bundle structure, or a plurality of stems instead of all may be elongated, bent and placed in the periphery. Absent. It is only necessary that a bulge structure larger than the diameter of the hole of the flower stand is formed at the lower part of the bouquet to be inserted into the flower stand.

When a bundle of folded structures is inserted into the flower stand, the diameter of the tip to be inserted at the bottom of the stem is smaller than the diameter of the flower stand or the vase, making it easy to insert, and the middle of the folded part is smaller than the diameter inside the flower stand. If it spreads, it was understood that it could be fixed. The stems of artificial flowers are formed by wrapping wire, tape-like paper, cloth, and plastic. At the site of the grave, the structure can be expanded or narrowed according to the hole of the flower stand. Made it easier. Even in the case of indoor decoration, if the length of the folded stem is sufficient, it can be stably fixed in a flower stand up to an inner diameter of 85 mm only by adjusting the swelling of the stem portion.

The folded structure of the stem of the artificial flower may be an arch shape or this shape. When the number of stems of the artificial flower having a folded structure is large, a triangular protrusion structure may be used. That is, the shape of the folded stem is not particularly limited, and the object of the present invention can be achieved as long as it is folded and bundled so as to act as a spring.

Effect of device

With the novel bouquet structure of the present invention, it was admitted that the beautifully designed bouquet was stable in the flower stand and did not collapse for a long time. If you want to make a bouquet from a set of several kinds of flowers such as chrysanthemum, various chrysanthemums, lilies, etc., if you make a bouquet, turn the stem back to make a spring structure and bundle the ends. The folded stems have a pressing effect around the inside of the flower stand and the vase, and the inserted bouquet becomes almost fixed. The effect of the present invention is this motion stop effect. The artificial rose flower without wind was stable due to the bulging of the stems caused by the folding of about 3 to 4 stems.

The best mode of the present invention will be described with reference to artificial flowers for grave offerings, but is not limited to graves. It is a basic idea that can be applied to all living artificial flowers without using artificial sand or soil. FIG. 1 shows an artificial flower of a threshold. 1 is a place where the upper leaves are thick, but the stem is folded back as 2 and the end is along the stem to form an artificial flower having a spindle-shaped folded structure with a core wire. Such artificial flowers are made from a plurality of flowers that are desired to be bouquets, and straight stems are collected as shown in 3 of FIG. 2 and bundled so that a bent structure comes around. FIG. 3 is an artificial flower of chrysanthemum, and the end of the stem is bent into a spindle shape as in FIG. When 5 to 15 artificial flowers are bundled and the bent ends are bundled, the lower structure of the bouquet as shown in 5 of FIG. 4 is obtained. When this is inserted into a flower vase or vase, there is resistance at first, but by inserting it, the bouquet can be inserted deep inside the flower vase and is firmly fixed inside the hole by a spring structure around it. If the number is large, it can be fixed without bending all of them.

An embodiment with better workability will be described. Considering the design of flowers, first combine 10 to 12 bouquets. In that case, the arrangement of the flowers is determined by bundling several centimeters, leaving a folded portion from the lower end of the stem. Thereafter, the stem below the bundled portion is bent to form a spindle-shaped bulge in order, thereby completing the structure 5 in FIG. If there are several or more artificial flowers that can be folded back, it is stable, but all artificial flowers may be folded back. If the stem ends are bundled together, the spring arrangement is easier to control. As an example, although the grave flowering is described, the present invention is not limited to this.

A plastic stem was set on the tip of a wire covered with a tape-like cloth, a branch was attached, a leaf was attached to the tip, and three stains were created. I made 2 artificial flowers of lily of the deceased, made chrysanthemums, and made a bundle of 10 artificial flowers. The best design was determined by bundling the arrangement of flowers and colors. After that, it folded from the end of the stem and spread radially from the cross-section so that it would not gather in one place, and it spread from the straight stem to the periphery, forming a bundle of artificial flowers with the lower structure as shown in FIG. We made a pair of these and offered them to the flower arrangements on the left and right of the grave. The tip of the spindle-shaped bulge was inserted into the vase, and the expanded folded part was inserted little by little, and fixed in the vase. It was offered in May and until September, the shape of the bouquet did not collapse, and it remained in the vase as it was designed. Polyester was used for the fibers and plastics used, but it was a material with good light resistance, the artificial flowers were not damaged, and the colors colored with the pigments could be kept for several months. The flowers and leaves were not changed so much by the dust, and they changed much from the initial state.

Many people are reluctant to offer artificial flowers, but the number of people who do not feel uncomfortable with offering beautiful artificial flowers throughout the year is gradually increasing. In midsummer such as Obon, the offerings of fresh flowers are damaged immediately, so artificial flowers for decoration are originally sold as graves at supermarkets and home center florists. Compared to conventional bouquets of artificial flowers that are simply bundled one by one, the arrangement of artificial flowers can be designed, and the bouquet that does not collapse is produced as a bouquet and used as it is for consumers. It is a great advantage as a product to be made, and the structure of the present invention is considered to spread in the industry.
