Description

The present invention relates to a stem and a flower for drying a dried flower used in a flower arrangement.

Dry flowers obtained by drying fresh flowers such as preserved flowers (also referred to as preserved flowers) are used as the main part of flower arrangements and are frequently used for decorations and gifts in homes and businesses. Today it is the mainstream of dry flowers.
The preserved flower is usually cut at a position below the flower ovary, leaving only the flower part, and the remaining flower part is processed with chemicals and dried. More specifically, it is cut at a position where a plurality of petals are not separated from each other and kept in a state integrated with the ovary, or at a position 1 to 1.5 cm below that. The separated flower part is dehydrated and decolored with a chemical solution, treated with a preservation solution colored as necessary, and then dried.

The preserved flower part is bonded and fixed to a stem made of synthetic resin or wire material to become a finished product. The stem is provided with a radially extending flange piece and a protrusion provided at the center thereof, and the protrusion is inserted into the ovary and fixed. This protrusion is for inserting and locking into the ovary and is sharper than the stem axis.

Preserved flowers are attracting attention due to their characteristics, but on the other hand, as a restriction on production including chemical treatment, when flowering flowers are processed, petals are easily removed and the yield as a product is poor. is there. For this reason, buds and half-opened products are sometimes used as products even at the expense of the appearance of the flowers, but today, a process called blooming in which the half-opened state is in the flowered state is often performed.

One method of blooming is known as stuffing. The stuffing is to insert a padding such as cotton, tissue paper, or petal between a plurality of petals forming a flower part, thereby bringing the flower into a flowering state.
As another method, a method called Melia is known. In this method, the petals (petals) are removed one by one, and the removed petals and, in some cases, further added petals are fixed to a desired flowering state with an adhesive.
In these conventional methods, there is a problem that the work requires skill and takes time and labor. Therefore, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, proposals for improving these operations have been made, but the workers were not completely released due to the difficulty of flowering operations.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The manufacturing process of the flower arrangement which concerns on embodiment of this invention is shown, and explanatory drawing of the state which inserted the stem in the preserved flower.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, a preserved flower is demonstrated based on FIG. 1 (A). As the preserved flower, the same one as described in the background art described above can be used, and a preserved flower processed according to a general method for processing preserved flower can be used. The flower portion 31 of the preserved flower includes a plurality of petals 32, a ovary 33 that is a central portion of the lower portion, a bud 34 that supports the petals 32, and a floral pattern 35 that extends downward from the bud 34.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 4, the ovary 33 is taken out from the flower portion 31. Specifically, by holding the flower part 31 with one finger 41 and slowly pulling out the floral pattern 35 with the other finger 41, the eyelid 34 and the ovary 33 come out together with the floral pattern 35. As a result, an internal space 36 is formed inside the flower portion 31.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the nozzle 42 is inserted into the internal space 36 of the flower portion 31 and an adhesive 37 is injected. As the adhesive 37, a hot melt adhesive called a glue is suitable. However, the adhesive 37 may be one-component or two-component if it can perform the flowering operation described later between the injection of the adhesive and the completion of curing. However, it can be selected and used as appropriate.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1C and 6, the bulging portion 13 of the stem 11 is inserted into the internal space 36.
Here, the stem 11 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. The stem 11 is made of a synthetic resin having a total length of about 10 to 28 cm. The stem 11 has a length of about 9 to 27 cm, a bulging portion 13 having an upper end of about 1 to 2 cm, and a lower portion of the bulging portion 13. And a lower support portion 14. These lengths can be appropriately changed according to the type and size of the flower. The stem 11 may be integrally formed, but may be assembled after the shaft portion 12, the bulging portion 13, and the lower support portion 14 are formed as separate parts. In this example, only the lower support portion 14 in FIG. 3B is a separate part.

In this example, the shaft portion 12 is formed with a large number of small protrusions resembling a rose stab, but may be omitted or may have other patterns. Moreover, the axial part 12 can also be comprised with a wire.

The bulging portion 13 at the upper end of the shaft portion 12 is a portion inserted into the internal space 36, thereby supporting the petals 32 from the inside. The bulging portion 13 includes a large-diameter bottom portion 21 and a tip portion 22 whose diameter gradually decreases from the bottom portion 21 and becomes pointed. Although this shape can be changed and implemented as appropriate, it is desirable that the maximum diameter is sufficiently large to fill the internal space 36. In this example, a rose is assumed as the flower part 31 and the maximum diameter is 1.0 to 1.2 cm. However, the flower part 31 can be appropriately changed according to the type of flower. The bulging portion 13 is formed with a large number of protrusions 23 extending in the vertical direction so that it can be smoothly inserted into the internal space 36. Instead, it can be implemented by changing to another shape such as a protrusion or a circumferential protrusion. Moreover, although the planar shape of the bulging part 13 is made into the substantially circular shape, it is also possible to change and implement in other shapes, such as a polygon and a substantially star shape. The side surface shape can be variously changed. For example, a constriction may be provided in the middle of the vertical direction to form a plurality of bulged portions. Further, a small protrusion may be formed from the distal end portion 22 of the bulging portion 13, and the bulging portion 13 is not necessarily positioned at the forefront of the stem 11, and is positioned on the distal end side so that it can be inserted into the internal space 36. All you need is enough.

The lower support portion 14 includes a central portion 15 and a flange portion 16 extending substantially radially from the periphery thereof. These are imitating rose buds, and small protrusions 17 may be formed on the heel piece 16. A connecting portion 20 protrudes upward in the approximate center of the central portion 15, and a through hole 18 is formed inside the connecting portion 20. The lower end of the shaft portion 12 is inserted into the through hole 18, and the connecting portion 20 is fitted into a receiving hole (not shown) provided in the bottom portion 21 of the bulging portion 13, so that both are fixedly coupled. The lower support portion 14 may be fixed to at least one of the shaft portion 12 and the bulging portion 13. The lower support portion 14 supports the flower portion 31 from below, but may be omitted. Further, only the central portion 15 can be formed and the flange portion 16 can be omitted.

Next, the bulging portion 13 is inserted into the internal space 36 into which the adhesive 37 has been injected as described above (see FIGS. 1C and 7). The insertion depth can be changed as appropriate, but it may be inserted until the lower support portion 14 comes into contact with the lower portion of the flower portion 31. Particularly preferably, the opening of the internal space 36 is covered by the central portion 15 of the lower support portion 14. Therefore, it is desirable that the central portion 15 be larger than the size of the opening of the internal space 36.

As a result, the bulging portion 13 and the petal 32 are bonded together with the curing of the adhesive 37.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 1 (D), the petals 32 are expanded to a flowering state. This operation needs to be performed until the adhesive 37 is completely cured. When the above-mentioned hot melt adhesive is used as the adhesive 37, it usually hardens in about 1 to 2 minutes, so that the operation is completed by then. In the method of expanding to the flowering state, it is desirable not to expand all the petals 32 at a time, but to gradually expand from the outer petals 32 and to gradually expand the inner petals 32. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, it can be made to flower to a size of about 1 to 5 times after flowering (FIG. 2 (A)) to after flowering (FIG. 2 (B)).

Thus, according to the present invention, the preserved flower can be flowered very efficiently without removing the petals.
As described above, the present invention can be implemented without removing or adding petals at all. However, the present invention can also be implemented by thinning out or adding petals according to preference. .
