Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the decorative stock solution 2 is set in the decoration device 1, and FIG. 2 shows a decorative body 10 constituted by the decoration device 1.

That is, the decoration device 1 is provided with a container 3 filled with the undiluted decoration liquid 2 and an absorbent base material 4.

The decorative stock solution 2 may be prepared by adding an additive to a solution 21 in which an inorganic compound is dissolved and a fragrance 22. As this inorganic compound, an inorganic compound having a tetragonal crystal system is used. As the inorganic compound having the tetragonal crystal system, it is particularly preferable to use at least one kind or more of monopotassium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate and ammonium nitrate. These inorganic compounds are dissolved using water or the like as a solvent. If the amount of these inorganic compounds used is too large, the concentration exceeds the saturation concentration and is wasted. If the amount is too small, the crystals 20 become uneven and are generated. Used as is done. However, it is preferable to adjust the concentration near the saturation concentration in order to generate the crystal 20.

The fragrance 22 added to the solution 21
If too little, the aroma function will not be exhibited, and if too much, precipitation and growth of the crystal 20 will be hindered, so an amount depending on the type and amount of the inorganic compound used is used. . As the fragrance, for example, geraniol, citral, terpineol, 1-menthol, linalool, limonene, etc. can be used. Further, in the case of the base material 4 in the shape of a tree, the fragrance 22 of the tree scent, in the case of the base material 4 in the shape of a flower, the fragrance 22 of the flower scent, etc. It is also possible to use the fragrance 22 having.

Further, as the additive added to the decorative stock solution 2, a chloride compound, a tetragonal system, an equiaxed system,
At least one kind of compounds having a crystal system of either a monoclinic system or an orthorhombic system can be used.
Among these, it is preferable to use at least one or more of sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and ammonium chloride as the chloride compound. If the amount of these additives used is too large, the properties of the solution 21 and the fragrance 22 are greatly influenced, and if too small, the effect cannot be obtained. The amount used is determined.

In this way, the solution 2 in which the inorganic compound is dissolved
1 and the fragrance 22 were prepared by adding an additive to the undiluted solution 2. Since the fragrance 22 is an oil component, the solution 21 and the fragrance 2
It becomes the undiluted decoration liquid 2 separated into two layers. Of these, at least the liquid layer portion of the fragrance 22 may be colored. In this case, the dye to be colored is not particularly limited, and for example, oil-soluble tar dyes such as Red No. 5, Orange No. 2, Yellow No. 2, Blue No. 403 and the like can be used. Further, the portion of the solution 21 may be colored with a color different from that of the liquid layer portion of the fragrance 22. In this case, the coloring pigment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include Yellow No. 4, Red No. 102, Red No. 106, and Blue No. 1.
Water-soluble tar dyes such as No. 3, Green No. 3, and Green No. 401 can be used.

The container 3 has a space 30 formed therein for filling the decoration solution 2. Further, it is formed in a square plate shape so as to support the base material 4 in a stable state, and a cross-shaped notch 31 for inserting the base material 4 is provided on the upper surface thereof. In addition, a circular opening 32 is provided at the center of the cut 31. However, this opening 32
If it is too large, the decoration solution 2 will evaporate from the container 3, and the fragrance strength of the fragrance 22 contained in the decoration solution 2 will become particularly strong, so the opening is made in a size considering these. The shape of the container 3 is not particularly limited to a square plate shape, but a disk shape, a spherical shape,
It may have a pyramid shape or an elliptical shape.

The base material 4 includes two thin plates 40 having a plurality of projecting ends 41 cut in the shape of a tree, a notch 42 provided in the central upper half of one thin plate 40, and the other thin plate 40. A tree is configured by combining with a notch 43 provided in the lower middle part. The shape of the base material 4 is not particularly limited to that configured to form a tree, and various shapes according to need can be used. However, since the decorative undiluted solution 2 absorbed by the base material 4 is evaporated, the inorganic compound is deposited and grown as the crystal body 20 at the evaporation site. By forming the projecting end 41 in the upward direction so that evaporation from the projecting end 41 is actively performed, precipitation and growth of the crystal body 20 at the projecting end 41 can be promoted. Therefore, in order to further clarify the position where the crystal body 20 is precipitated and grown, a protective shell or a film film (not shown) for preventing evaporation of the decorative stock solution 2 is provided at a position where the crystal body 20 is not favored for precipitation and growth. ) Or the like may be provided. The material forming the base material 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can effectively absorb the decorative stock solution 2, and examples thereof include absorbent paper materials such as filter paper, cloth and thread, and the like. A fibrous material, a cellulose material or the like can be used.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the base material 4 has a protective layer 45 formed by leaving the lower end portion 44 of the outer peripheral portion, and as shown by the arrow A, the solution 21 is preferentially used. The base material 4 is made to absorb. In this case, the solution 21 can be absorbed into the base material 4 first to precipitate and grow the crystal 20, and the crystal 20 having an intended shape can be easily formed. After that, since the fragrance 22 is absorbed by the base material 4 to exert the fragrance function, an excellent effect can be obtained in terms of the durability of the fragrance function. However, in this case,
When the solution 21 is absorbed by the base material 4 to some extent, the liquid level is lowered and the solution 21 still remains, but the protective layer 4
The fragrance 22 is brought into contact with the lower end portion 44 where 5 is not formed, so that the solution 21 and the fragrance 22 are simultaneously absorbed. Therefore, it is preferable that the protective layer 45 be formed so that the lower end portion 44 is as small as possible. For example, it is possible to form the protective layer 45 on the entire outer peripheral portion of the base material 4 dipped in the decorative stock solution 2 so that the decorative stock solution 2 is absorbed from the lower edge of the base material 4.

As described above, as a method of forming the protective layer 44 on the base material 4, it can be formed by printing or coating the base material 4 or by covering with a separate member. For specific printing, silk printing, offset printing, gravure printing, or the like can be performed.
Moreover, when coating, press coating, PP coating, varnishing, etc. can be performed. Further, when covering, it can be covered with a molded product such as PE or PP, a film of vinyl chloride resin, PP or the like, unglazed pottery, water-repellent paper, or the like. (Examples 1 to 14, Comparative Examples 1 to 8) (1) Preparation of decorative stock solution 10 ml of a saturated solution of monopotassium phosphate and a fragrance (limonene)
As shown in Table 1, pigments and the like were added to each of the 4 ml upper and lower separated solutions to prepare five types of decorative stock solutions.
