Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This idea is related to pressed flowers.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a means for preventing fading of so-called pressed flowers made by drying plants such as flowers and artistically arranging them.

The difficulty in applying pressed flowers as a means of artistic expression is not only the artistic expression ability, but also the need to find a way to dry the plant's original color without fading, and a way to maintain that color for a long period of time. Related.

This invention clarifies the latter method.

Traditionally, pressed flowers were made by simply pasting dried plants on a mount or framing them, so even pressed flowers that have been well dehydrated and dried can absorb moisture in the air, or the components inside the press holes can absorb oxygen. Due to various influences such as combination with other plants, the original color of the plant intended by the creator could easily change or fade.

In order to prevent these, it is necessary to always keep the pressed flower plant in a dry state and to cut off contact with oxygen.

This idea was created in view of the above, and is as follows:
Examples will be described in detail according to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of this invention, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken along the line II--II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view.

In the figure, 1 is a transparent plate made of glass, synthetic resin, etc. that does not have air permeability, and if necessary, an ultraviolet blocking agent is applied to the pressed flowers to prevent them from being burnt by ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet ray cutting glass may also be used.

2 is a pressed flower, which is pasted with an adhesive or the like on a mount 3 made of a breathable material such as paper or synthetic resin.

4 is a desiccant, which has high moisture absorption efficiency and is preferably in the form of a thin plate in consideration of framing.

In this invention, an oxygen scavenger 5 such as capron is arranged together with a desiccant 4.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a non-breathable back plate made of, for example, aluminum foil, a synthetic resin plate, a metal plate, etc., and has the function of blocking ventilation and holding the desiccant 4 and oxygen scavenger 5.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an adhesive tape made of vinyl or aluminum foil that does not have air permeability, and is used as a means for fixing and sealing the above-mentioned members.

A molded frame may be used instead of the adhesive tape 7, but in this case, it is sealed with an adhesive or the like to block ventilation.

The pressed flower fading prevention means of this invention is constructed as described above, and first of all, it has a sealed structure, so contact with the outside air is cut off, there is no adverse effect from moisture in the outside air, and there is no need to worry about pressing holes. Even the slightest amount of moisture remaining inside can be used as a desiccant 4.
In addition, oxygen in the press holes and in the sealed structure is absorbed by the action of the oxygen absorber 5, so that the action of organic decomposition oxygen is stopped.

Generally, the discoloration and discoloration of pressed flowers is due to the effects of ammonia and the like produced by the decomposition of organic substances contained in the pressed flowers, but the decomposition of organic substances can be prevented by maintaining dry conditions and removing oxygen.

Since this device is constructed as described above, the pressed flowers are always maintained in a dry state inside the sealed interior, and are not affected by the temperature and humidity of the outside air, and the pressed flowers change depending on whether the temperature is high or low. It becomes possible to maintain the color of the pressed flower intended by the creator of the pressed hole for a long period of time without fading.

In addition, by periodically replacing the desiccant and oxygen absorber, it is possible to maintain the beauty of the plant semi-permanently, making it possible to widely use pressed flowers as a means of artistic expression. Become.
