JPH01160700A - Decorating using dried plant - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a decoration valuable even in a dark place by coating the surface of the decoration with a fluorescent material or a reflective material and irradiating the coating with light. CONSTITUTION: The decoration, e.g. a dry flower 1, is coated with a fluorescent material or a reflective material, e.g. glass beads, and the dry flower 1 is secured to a supporting material 3 containing a moisture absorbing material and then supported on the bottom of a transparent container 5 through a rotary base 4 being driven electrically. The container 5 may be composed of a UV-ray blocking or absorbing material. When a light source 6 is lighted, existence as a decoration can be demonstrated especially in the nighttime on in a dark place and when the supporting material 3 turns in the container, the dry flower can be looked over the entire circumference thereof thus providing a sufficient effect as a decoration.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to decorations using dried plants, and particularly to decorations using dried plants suitable for clearly announcing the presence even in places with low illuminance. It is related to goods.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional ornaments, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-74600, the plants housed in the lamp can be viewed neatly by lighting the light source.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, if the housed plants or decorations are dark in color, they will not be visible at night or in a dark place even if the light source is turned on.
The problem was that it was impossible to make its existence known.

An object of the present invention is to provide a decorative article using dried plants that can be sufficiently used as a decorative article even in a dark place.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object is achieved by coating the surface of the decorative body with a fluorescent or reflective material and exposing it to light.

[For production]

The fluorescent material coated on the surface of the decorative body has luminescent properties, and is effective in making its presence known especially in the dark.Also, the reflective coating is used to make the light source known when it is turned on or from the outside. It is possible to radiate the projected light by diffuse reflection, and it is also effective in making its presence known when it is dark.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

A fluorescent material or a reflective material 2 such as glass peas is attached to the surface of the decorative body, for example, a dried flower 1, and the dried flower 1 is fixed to a support material 3 containing a moisture-absorbing material. It is supported on the bottom of a transparent container 5 via a rotating rotating table 4 for driving. A light source body 6 is arranged inside the container 5. Note that the container 5 may be made of a material that prevents the passage of ultraviolet rays or is made of a material that absorbs ultraviolet rays.

As a result, by lighting the light source 6, dry flowers can be seen.
The fluorescent material or reflective material 2 attached to the surface shines clearly,
Particularly at night or in a dark place, its presence as an ornament can be made known, and the support material 3 rotates within the container.

The dried flowers can be seen all around, making them suitable for use as decorative ornaments.

Note that in this example, an oil film is used instead of the reflective material.
Moreover, the same effect can be obtained even if ultraviolet rays are used as the light source.

Further, as the reflective material, a similar effect can be produced even if a metal such as aluminum is vapor-deposited.

In addition, if glass fiber is used as the light source, which can illuminate each flower or medicinal part by emphasizing the shaped light from the bottom of the container 5, the light source is small and can be placed deep inside the dried flowers. , it has the effect of not interfering with the viewing of dried flowers and making them stand out.

Furthermore, the container 5 can be shaped with different thicknesses, e.g.

The dried flowers 1 in the container 5 are not rotated, but the container 5 is rotated.

It can also be used as a decoration to make the dried flowers look like they are swaying in the water.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the surface of the decorative item is coated with a fluorescent material or a reflective material, and the decorative item is placed in a transparent container equipped with a light source, so that the presence of the decorative item can be made known even in a dark place. It is effective enough to be used as a decorative item.
