Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to dried flowers that can be viewed in a state close to nature for a long period of time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of dried flower has a bright color and appearance for a long period of time by preventing the spoilage from drying by removing moisture from the plant by sun, high heat, quick freezing, vacuum, etc. I kept it.

[0003]

However, the plants that have lost water lose their elasticity and become brittle, and they were broken or damaged by a slight contact. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a dried flower that imparts elasticity to a dried plant, imparts a lively touch, and is hard to break.

[0004]

In order to achieve this object, the dried flower of the present invention has oil attached to dried plants. Hiba oil is used as the oil. Furthermore, the plants are apple flowers.

[0005]

[Function] When oil adheres to a dried plant, the oil permeates the oil, swells, has elasticity, and looks alive.
By using Hiba oil, not only elasticity but also a scent of hiba is given to the plant. Gives life to the picked apple blossoms.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a front view of a dried apple flower according to an embodiment of the present invention. The figure shows an apple flower, which is an example of a plant, which is an apple tree, dried and oiled.

There are various plants such as wildflowers and tree flowers. Here are the apple blossoms. To make good quality apples,
Many flowers were abandoned by thinning and thinning them from many bloomed flowers. There are various methods for drying this flower, but here, using an autoclave, for example, 50 °
C, dried for 4 hours.

To attach oil to the dried flowers,
The flowers are dipped in oil and left in a mist of oil, or the dried flowers are sprayed with oil to impregnate the oil and swell the flowers.

It is preferable that the oil is not one that easily evaporates like a solvent or water, and that some of the oil covers and impregnates the surface of the plant. For example, as oil, not mineral oil,
Vegetable oil such as camellia oil and salad oil, but hiba oil is used here.

[0010] Hiba oil is an oil obtained from hiba and has the effects of antifungal, antiseptic and skin activating, and also has a scent of hiba, and this scent makes you feel like a forest bath and refreshes your mind and body. . Such an effect depends on components such as hinokitiol of hiba oil. Even if the fragrance fades, the oil content evaporates slowly and the antiseptic properties and elasticity are still maintained, so it can withstand long-term use.

Since the adhesion of oil is generally large, excess oil is removed by sandwiching it with a non-woven fabric, filter paper or the like having a good adsorption property. This gives a more realistic feel of simply oiling.

[0012]

Industrial Applicability As described above, oil is attached to dried plants, so that the plants soak into the oil and swell, have elasticity, and appear lively. As a matter of course, it will not break even with a slight contact, so it can be used for viewing and other uses without damage for a long time. By using Hiba oil, it can be used for a long period of time due to its antiseptic effect and the scent can be enjoyed. Further, by adhering hiba oil to apple flowers, apple flowers that have been picked and discarded until now can be made valuable.
In particular, by combining products that can be obtained in the same area, it is possible to make a product with a rich local color.
