BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flower material used for ikebana, and more particularly to a flower material used as a substitute for a flower material obtained by processing wisteria vine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 1 shows the outer shape of a flower material in the shape of a wisteria vine. This flower material is used with ikebana. This flower material is manufactured as follows. We collect the wisteria vines that are naturally produced. Wisteria vines can be either too thick or too thin, so we will collect those that have a thickness of approximately 5 mm in the processed state. Remove the skin of the wisteria vine to a certain length, for example 50-
Cut to 100 cm. The tip is immersed in boiling water or sprayed with steam to soften it. The softened wisteria vine is curved in a loop with a radius of curvature of, for example, several cm. Wrap it in a few loops to bind the ends together.

[0003]

This type of flower material has a unique form and is often used for ikebana. However,
Since the production is performed as described above, there is a drawback that the production is extremely time-consuming and the raw materials are also time-consuming to collect, resulting in high cost.

Instead of wisteria vines, flower materials using wisteria are also used. However, the flower material made of wisteria also has the drawback that the raw material cost is extremely high and the processing is troublesome.

The present invention has been developed for the purpose of solving this drawback, and an important object of the present invention is to make a mass production at low cost and to obtain a wisteria vine having an outer shape comparable to that of a wisteria vine. To provide a flower material in the shape of.

[0006]

The rattan-vine-shaped flower material of the present invention has the following constitution in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. That is, the flower material of the present invention comprises a rod-shaped portion 1 extended in the shape of a rod, and a bent decoration portion 2 provided at the tip of the rod-shaped portion 1.

The rod-shaped portion 1 is made of a bamboo rod 3 obtained by processing bamboo with the skin removed into a rod shape. The folding decorative portion 2 is formed by inserting a folding curve 5 into a synthetic resin pipe 4 formed in a tubular shape, and the folding curve 5 is deformed to bend the folding decorative portion 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments shown below are examples of flower material for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the flower material of this invention has the following material, shape, structure, and arrangement of components. Not specific to structure. The flower material of this invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the utility model registration claim.

Further, in this specification, the numbers corresponding to the members shown in the embodiment are referred to as "utility model registration request" and "to solve the problem" so that the utility model registration request can be easily understood. It is added to the members shown in the column of "means for performing". However, the members shown in the scope of claims for utility model registration are by no means limited to the members of the embodiment.

The wisteria-vine-shaped flower material shown in FIG. 1 comprises a rod-shaped portion 1 extending in a rod-like shape, and a bent decoration portion 2 provided at the tip of the rod-shaped portion 1.

The rod-shaped portion 1 is a bamboo rod 3 obtained by processing bamboo with the skin removed into a rod shape. The bamboo stick 3 can be manufactured by using bamboo such as Moso bamboo as a raw material and processing it into a cylindrical shape having an outer shape of 3 to 10 mmφ, preferably 3.5 to 8 mmφ. To make bamboo stick 3 easily, split the bamboo stick into pieces with an inner diameter of 3
It is inserted into a hole of 10 mmφ and processed into a cylindrical shape. At this time, the epidermis is also removed. The total length of the bamboo stick 3 is preferably 2
It is adjusted to 0 to 100 cm.

As shown in FIG. 2, the folding decorative portion 2 has a folding curve 5 inserted inside a synthetic resin pipe 4 formed in a tubular shape. The folding curve 5 is deformed to bend the folding decorative portion 2. The synthetic resin pipe 4 is manufactured by molding a flexible plastic that can be freely deformed by hand, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, vinyl chloride, or polyurethane into a pipe shape. The outer shape of the synthetic resin pipe 4 is the rod-shaped portion 1.
Molded the same as. The inner diameter is formed so that the folding curve 5 can be inserted, for example, 1 to 3 mmφ. Further, the surface is formed into a fine uneven surface so as to resemble wisteria vine or bamboo stick 3. Furthermore, the synthetic resin pipe 4 is colored in the same color as the bamboo stick 3 so that the bamboo stick 3 and the bent decoration portion 2 cannot be distinguished from each other.

The bending curve 5 which is inserted through the synthetic resin pipe 4 is
A wire rod that can be freely bent by hand and can be held in a bent state, for example, a metal wire of iron, aluminum, copper, or the like can be used.

The folded decorative portion shown in FIG. 1 is bent three times in a loop shape, and then the tip is wound around the loop to bind the loops together. This invention does not specify the shape of the bent decoration portion as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bamboo stick 3 can be most easily connected by inserting the tip thereof into a binding portion at the tip of the bent decoration portion. In addition, the bamboo stick 3 is a bent decoration portion 2.
Can be adhered and connected, or the folding curve 5 of the bent decoration portion can be inserted and connected through the center of the upper end of the bamboo stick 3, or these states can be connected together.

[0016]

[Effect of the device] The flower material in the shape of the wisteria vine of this device is
The rod-shaped portion is a bamboo rod from which the skin is removed, and the bent decoration portion is formed by inserting a wire into a pipe formed of synthetic resin. The flower material of this structure has the feature that it can be mass-produced easily and easily at low cost, and it has an appearance comparable to that of natural wisteria vine flower material. The reason why it can be mass-produced at low cost is that the synthetic resin pipe in which the wire is inserted can be easily bent and freely deformed.

The entire flower material may be a synthetic resin pipe through which the wire is inserted. However, doing so increases the cost of raw materials and strengthens the image of so-called cheap products, which makes it impossible to give a unique texture to natural products.

The flower material of the present invention solves this drawback by using a bamboo rod as the rod portion. Bamboo sticks with the skin removed are cheaper to manufacture than synthetic resin pipes. Moreover, there is a natural texture of bamboo, which makes it ideal for ikebana.

Both the rod-shaped portion and the bent decoration portion may be made of bamboo rod. However, this structure is extremely expensive. This is because it takes a great deal of time to bend a bamboo rod processed into a rod shape with a curvature of several cm.

Further, since the bamboo stick manufactured by removing the skin of the bamboo has a substantially linear shape, there is no need to straighten the bamboo stick, and it can be processed extremely easily as compared with wisteria vine or rattan. There is.
