Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a bottle containing fruit, etc. and a method for producing the same, and is used for ornaments, fruit wine, etc.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there has been a bottle craft, which is a bottle whose inner diameter is larger than 1 diameter and is filled with a craft work of approximately the same size as the inner cavity and used as an ornament.

In general, this bottle craft is made by dividing the bottle in advance at the body or tail, inserting the craft work, and then butting the divided parts together and heat welding them into one bottle: J! It is manufactured in four stages.

[Question 211 that the invention attempts to solve! ] However, when filling the bottle with fruits or other fruits instead of the handicrafts, the process of adjusting and manufacturing the bottle is to butt the divided parts together using heat welding, which may damage the fruit and prevent it from being used as an ornament or as a fruit drink. Product value is lost.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art, and it is a bottle containing fruit that maintains its freshness without damaging the fruit or the like. The first objective is to provide a method for manufacturing the same.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention for achieving the above-mentioned objects will be explained with reference to drawings corresponding to embodiments. Firstly, as shown in FIG. In a transparent, translucent, colored transparent bottle (1) made of glass or the like, whose diameter is larger than that of its mouth (3), there is a container with a diameter (d3) larger than its mouth (3) This is a fruit bottle (5) containing fruits, vegetables, etc. (4), and secondly, in order to manufacture this fruit bottle (5), as shown in FIG. A young fruit (6), which has been thinned within a predetermined period after flowering of a fruit tree, etc., is placed in a container where the diameter (dl) of the inner space (2) is larger than the diameter (d2) of the mouth part (3). Insert the young fruit (
6) is characterized by growing and cultivating and harvesting.

[Sakukawa] According to the first invention, the diameter (d2) of the mouth (3) is smaller than the diameter (d-) of the inner space (2) in the bottle (1).
The bottle is used as an ornament while asking questions about the mystery of the fruit (7), which has a larger diameter than the diameter (d2) of 3) and has a good shape, and is used as a storage container for fruit wine. Ru.

Further, according to the second invention, at the time of bagging fruits, etc., the young fruit (6) is transferred from the mouth (3) of the bottle (1) to the inner space (2).
) and hold the bottle (1),
While surrounding the young fruit (6) from the outside, the inner cavity (2)
) to grow and enlarge to become a mature fruit (4), and at the time of harvest, the bottle (1) is released and at the same time, the inner cavity (2) is released.
The mature fruit (4) is taken from the branch of the fruit tree (7) while still housed in the fruit tree.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a bottle containing fruits, etc. of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the diameter (a+) of the inner space (2) is
), the inner cavity (2) of the bottle (1) has a diameter (d3) larger than the diameter (d2) of the mouth (3). 4) is fitted.

This bottle (1) is made of a transparent or translucent body made of glass, plastic, etc., or a colored transparent body.

The shape of this bottle 1) includes the inner space (2) and the rear opening (3), as well as a bottom part (8) whose outer periphery is constricted and the diameter expands again. The outer periphery between the inner space (2) and the inner space (2) is a groove (20). A lid (9) is attached to the mouth (3).

Figures 2A and 2B show front and side views of a modified embodiment of the filled bottle.

In the fruit bottle (5) of this modified example, the shape of the inner space (2) of the bottle (1) is square or round, which is larger in diameter than the mouth part (3) but smaller than the fruit (4). The upper and lower parts of the shape (10a),
(10b), and an insertion portion (11) having approximately the same diameter as the fruit (4) that bulges out in the middle of the cylindrical portions (10a) and (10b). 4) is fitted.

According to this modified embodiment, the cylindrical portion (10) is formed by the fruit (7).
) appears to be inflated.

Fruits (4) include fruits such as pears, peaches, and apples, as well as bunches of grapes, and vegetables such as tomatoes and capochas.

In addition, the space of the mouth (3) of the bottle (1) is the inner space (2).
) Containers other than bottles may be used instead, provided that the space is smaller than the space provided.

Next, a method for manufacturing the fruit bottle (5) will be explained.

It is common for Japanese pears that six to eight flowers bloom from one flower bud, and the young fruits, which have all set fruit, are thinned within 30 days after flowering. Immediately after fruit thinning, in marsupial cultivation (mainly in the 20th century), bagging is done. In the method for producing a fruit-filled bottle (5) of the present invention, without distinguishing between marsupial cultivation and free cultivation (so-called red pears), the above-mentioned bottle (1) is turned upside down and placed in a net (12), as shown in Fig. 5. From the groove (
20) by hanging it via a wire (13),
Insert the young fruit (6) from the mouth (3) and insert the young fruit (6) into the inner cavity (2).
).

This young fruit (6) is a main branch pruned from the main trunk (14),
Fruits are produced on the sub-main branch (15), a long spring branch that has been pruned in a good arrangement, and a short fruit branch (16).

A gap (17) made of vinyl or aluminum is placed on top of the tip (8) of the upside down bottle (1) to block direct sunlight, similar to the fruit leaves during natural cultivation. The inverted mouth part (3) is covered with a cover (18) to prevent water from accumulating and to prevent direct sunlight.

In this way, the young fruit (6), which is protected by being hung in a bottle so that the mouth (3) of the bottle (1) faces the inner space (2), is exposed to the inner space as the fruit pulp enlarges and grows. (2), the diameter (d3) of the fruit (4) increases to the inner space (
It grows to approximately the same length as the inner diameter of (d).

During the harvesting period, the fruits such as pears (4) that have grown and ripened in this way are placed in bottles, and the stems (19) are plucked off from the branches (16), and the bottles (1) are placed in nets (12). Remove from the container, harvest and store.

The fruit bottle (5) that has been harvested and stored in this way is located at the tip (8).
The cap (17) is removed, a predetermined lid (9) is attached to the mouth (3), and the fruit bottle (5) as a product shown in FIG. 1 is finished.

This fruit bottle (5) can be used as an ornament as it is, or can be made into fruit wine by injecting alcohol. Furthermore, the fruit bottle (5), rock sugar, and alcohol can also be sold as a set.

[Effects] As described above, in the bottle of the present invention, inside a transparent, translucent, or colored transparent bottle in which the inner space is larger in diameter than the mouth, the diameter of the mouth is Because it contains fruits, vegetables, etc. with a larger diameter than the original, it has commercial value as a rare souvenir, and is valuable as a decoration or appreciation as an ornament, and it can also be stored as is in the bottle as a fruit drink, etc. There are benefits such as being able to.

Furthermore, since the production of the fruit bottle of the present invention utilizes an industrial production process, it provides a new source of income for farmers and contributes to village revitalization movements in depopulated areas.
