Description

  The present invention relates to a deodorizer for cut flowers that suppresses the water of cut flowers rotted in a vase from decaying and giving off a bad odor.

  The flowers laid in the vase decorate the interior and soften the hearts of the viewers. The flowers offered to the grave also have Buddhist meaning, but they decorate the grave and cleanse the heart, making physical and spiritual effects.

  However, if the flower is placed in a vase or flower stand, it will eventually die, and the water in the vase will rot and give off a foul odor.

  When a flower is laid in a vase at home or in an office or store, the water is changed every day before the flower dies, so it usually does not give off a bad smell.

  However, the odor may become severe if you leave the flowers for a few days or a long time. In such a case, it is a flower that decorates the space and softens the heart, but it becomes so much as to pinch the nose. For this reason, disposing of cut flowers is an unpleasant task. The work of washing the vase is also uncomfortable due to sliminess.

  In particular, in the case of flowers to be provided to the grave, water does not change every day, so it is natural that the water will start to smell, and cleaning up the flowers and washing the flower stand is easy. There was no work.

  However, there has never been a solution to such a problem.

  As a similar one, for example, a slime suppressor disclosed in Patent Document 1 below has been proposed. This uses the effect that, when a 10-yen coin is placed in a vase, the propagation of bacteria is suppressed and the flower lasts longer. This is a configuration having a convex portion on the surface of a circular copper plate.

  When this slime suppressor is used, cut flowers will last longer, but the effect is milder than using antibacterial agents because copper ions suppress the growth of bacteria and suppress the occurrence of slime. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of malodor may be permitted. In particular, in a vase placed in a warm place or a tomb flower garden where rainwater enters, the rate of decay is faster than the suppression of bacterial growth, and the effect is not expected.

  Also, since copper is used, it is good when used at home, etc., but even if it is used in a grave garden, it cannot be used because it may be stolen.

Registered Utility Model No. 3045275

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a deodorizer for cut flower arrangement that can be easily used in a grave flower garden and has a high odor control effect.

  A means for that is a deodorizer for cut flower arrangement, which includes a main body portion carrying a deodorant having at least an antibacterial component on a porous substrate, and a bundling member having elasticity. The binding member may be integrated with the main body or may be a separate body.

  This cut flower arrangement deodorizer is used by winding a main body around a stem portion of a cut flower, which is immersed in water, and holding the wound state with a bundling member. The main body member is immersed in water, and the carried deodorant acts on the water. Since the main body supporting the deodorant is porous, the amount of the main body supported is large and the flow of water is good, so that the action can be spread widely. The binding member also functions to bundle the stems of cut flowers.

  The antibacterial component may be naturally derived. For example, hinokitiol or β-drabrin can be preferably used. Since the ingredients are naturally derived, there is no need to burden the environment.

  In addition to the antibacterial component, at least one of an insect repellent component or an ant repellent component may be contained. Insect repellents and ant repellents prevent insects and ants from invading, so that rot is accelerated by insects and ant carcasses and excrement, and the action of antibacterial components is ensured.

  The deodorizer for cut flower arrangement in which the deodorizer is encapsulated in a microcapsule may be used. Since it is microencapsulated, deterioration of the components can be prevented, and the stability and durability of the action can be achieved.

  The porous substrate is preferably made of a nonwoven fabric. Preferably, it is a nonwoven fabric made of a material that can be naturally decomposed. In addition to being strong and strong against pulling, a thick porous structure can be easily obtained. In addition, it can be made of a material that is naturally decomposed, and in this case, there is no need to put a burden on the environment.

  The main body may be formed in a strip shape, and the binding member may be connected to one end of the main body in the longitudinal direction. If the binding member is a separate body, it may be lost, but such inconvenience does not occur. In addition, since the bundling member is connected to one end of the main body portion, the operation of maintaining the state where the main body member is wound can be performed in series with the operation of winding the main body portion around the stem of the cut flower, and the operation can be performed easily and quickly.

  The binding member may be made of rubber band. In addition to being able to perform the bundling operation very easily, it has the advantage that it can be manufactured at low cost.

  According to this device, since the deodorant containing the antibacterial agent positively suppresses the growth of bacteria and acts to deodorize, a good malodor control effect can be obtained. Moreover, unlike the case of using copper, which is a metal, the material itself is not expensive and has no monetary value, so there is no risk of being stolen. Can also be used easily.

Deodorant for cut flowers The front view which shows a use condition.

An embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cut flower arrangement deodorizer 11 (hereinafter referred to as “deodorizer”), which includes a strip-shaped main body 21 and a bundling member 31 having elasticity.

  The main body 21 carries a deodorant 23 having at least an antibacterial component on the porous substrate 22. The porous substrate 22 is composed of a nonwoven fabric having a thickness. As the fibers 24 constituting the nonwoven fabric, biodegradable ones are used, and as shown in FIG. 2, the fibers 24 are formed in an appropriate size that can be wound around the stems 42 of the bundled cut flowers 41.

  When using it for the cut flower 41 provided to a grave, it is good to set to about 20-50 mm in width, about 100-120 mm in length, and thickness about 5 mm, for example.

  Although an appropriate component is used for the deodorant 23, it is desirable that it is of natural origin.

  As the antibacterial component, for example, hinokitiol and β-drabrin are preferably used. In addition to antibacterial, for example, citronellal may be used as an insect repellent component, and trimethylnaphthalene, for example, may be used as an ant control component. In addition, for example, terpenes can be added in order to improve the physiological activity of cut flowers and make them last longer. In addition, a fragrance or the like may be further added. These components are mixed at an appropriate ratio to form the deodorizer 23.

  The deodorizing agent 23 may be impregnated in the porous base material 22 as it is, but as shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG. The microencapsulated deodorant 23 is attached to the porous substrate 22 with a resin coating agent (not shown). In FIG. 1, only the fiber 24 and the microencapsulated deodorant 23 are shown in order to ensure clarity of illustration.

  The bundling member 31 is connected to the intermediate portion in the width direction of one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 21 having such a configuration by opening a hole 25.

  A rubber band 32 is used for the bundling member 31, and one end of the rubber band 32 is passed through the hole 25, and then the other end of the rubber band 32 is pulled through the one end protruding from the hole 25.

The deodorizer 11 configured as described above is used as follows.
After the stem 42 of the cut flower 41 is cut to an appropriate length to enter the vase 43, the main body 21 of the deodorizer 11 is wound around the stem 42, and the binding member 31 is pulled and wound around the stem 42 to be stopped. Thereby, while the main-body part 21 is wound around the stem 42, the stem 42 of the cut flower 41 is bundled.

  The operation of winding the main body 21 around the stem 42 is easy to perform because the main body has a strip shape. Moreover, the operation of winding the main body 21 and the operation of tightening with the bundling member 31 can be easily performed as a series of operations because the bundling member 31 is fixed to one end of the main body 21.

  Even if the string 44 bundled when the stem 42 is cut or the string 44 is loosened, the bundling member 31 holds the stem 42 with a contracting force, so that the bundled state is good. Maintained.

  FIG. 2 shows a flower bed 43 a of a grave as the vase 43. Even when a cut flower is inserted using a vase as a vase, the same as described above.

  In the main body portion 21 wound around the stem 42, the deodorant component comes into contact with water and exhibits antibacterial action against water. As a result of antibacterial activity, bacterial growth is actively suppressed and water decay is suppressed.

  And since the main-body part 21 is comprised with the porous base material 22, since the surface area is large, the deodorizer 23 is carry | supported on the surface, and since the flowability of the water with respect to the porous base material 22 is high, more Many deodorizers 23 can act on water. In addition, since the deodorizer 23 is microencapsulated, a stable action can be maintained for a long time.

  When changing the flower, the deodorizer 11 can be disposed together with the cut flower 41. Since the main body portion 21 is made of biodegradable fibers 24 and the deodorizer 23 is also made of natural components, it is possible to suppress the burden on the environment.

  The above is a configuration of one form for carrying out the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and other configurations can be adopted.

  For example, the porous substrate 22 may have an appropriate shape such as a rectangle or a square in addition to a strip shape. The size may cover the entire portion of the stem immersed in water.

  Further, the porous substrate 22 can be composed of a sponge or the like in addition to the nonwoven fabric.
