Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dried pressed flower that can be stored for a long period of time without fading, and a method for producing the same.

Conventionally, dried pressed flowers have been produced by using silica gel as a desiccant. However, the method using silica gel has the drawbacks of insufficient drying power and drying capacity and poor preservation of pressed flowers.

An object of the present invention is to provide a dried pressed flower that is easy to produce and can be stored for a long period of time, and a method for producing the same.

The present invention comprises a polymer in which a storage sheet without a cover containing a desiccant or a desiccant and an oxygen scavenger, a cushioning sheet with or without a mount, dried flowers, and a transparent plate are stacked in this order, and this polymer is desorbed. This is a dried pressed flower characterized by consisting of an airtight gas-barrier transparent bag.

The second aspect of the present invention is to place a drying sheet containing a desiccant on a spread moisture-proof sheet, arrange flowers on top of it, and cover it with a urethane foam sheet. The whole thing is wrapped in a moisture-proof sheet, the package is sandwiched between press plates stacked above and below, and left under strong pressure for the required time.The dried flowers obtained are arranged on a storage sheet with a desiccant interposed between them You can either store dried flowers in a sealed transparent film bag with gas barrier properties, or you can store them without a cover, using a storage sheet without a cover, a cushioning sheet, or a transparent storage sheet containing a desiccant or a desiccant and an oxygen absorber. This is a method for producing dried pressed flowers, which comprises arranging them on a cushioning sheet of a pressed flower mount made of plates, inserting them into a gas barrier transparent film bag, and then deaerating and sealing the bags.

Next, the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, the following special tools and supplies are used.

Drying sheet In FIG. 1, 1 is a drying sheet,
Calcium chloride, lithium chloride as a desiccant,
At least one drug selected from magnesium chloride is occluded in a sheet made of rough paper, for example, and is used for drying collected flowers. The standard size is 295mm x 240mm, but other sizes can also be used. Since the drying sheet 1 contains a hygroscopic drug, it is preferable to always store it sealed in a gas barrier bag or the like. Since the drying sheet 1 used for drying flowers absorbs moisture, it can be regenerated by heating and drying and used repeatedly.

Drying plate Used to dry collected flowers using a drying sheet. As shown in Figure 1, two upper and lower plates 2 and 3
It consists of a combination of a wide polyethylene sheet 4 and a fastening means 5 using magic tape or the like. 330 for standard type dryer sheet 1
The standard push plates 2 and 3 of 270 mm are suitable sizes, but other sizes are also available. In the figure, 6 is a cushioning sheet such as urethane foam, and 7 is a flower.

Storage sheet: Used to store dried flowers. Second
As shown in the figure, the storage sheet 8 is made up of a mount with a desiccant interposed between two sheets of cardboard and a cover film 9 attached thereto, and is enclosed in a gas barrier bag 10 to prevent moisture. , 235mm×185
The mm size is the most commonly used standard type. Other sizes also available. After use, they can be recycled and used repeatedly. When dried flowers 7 are arranged on a storage sheet 8, covered with a cover film 9, sealed in a gas barrier bag 10, and stored in a dark place, they will not change color for more than three years.

Pressed Flower Mount In order to produce dried pressed flowers of the present invention, as shown in FIG. A pressed flower mount 11 consisting of the following is used.
The dried flowers 7 are arranged on the cushioning sheet 13 so as to be located between the cushioning sheet 13 and the transparent plate 14. The cushioning sheet 13 can be made of various materials other than polyurethane foam, such as Tetron cotton, crepe paper, and felt.

The transparent plate 14 can be made of various materials such as polyester, hard vinyl chloride, and glass.

Press plate for deaeration This is a top and bottom board with a rectangular air cushion attached, a magic tape is attached to tighten the two boards, and a rubber plate for heat sealing is attached to the bottom board. . It is also possible to use the push plates 2, 3 shown in FIG.

Next, the invention will be explained with reference to examples.

The collected flowers are dried using a drying sheet 1 and pressing plates 2 and 3. First, one of the pressing plates 2 and 3 is laid down, a polyethylene sheet 4 is spread on it, and one drying sheet 1 is placed in the center. Flowers 7 are arranged on a drying sheet 1 so as not to overlap. One urethane foam sheet 6 is placed on top of that, and another drying sheet 1 is placed on top of it. Flowers 7 are also arranged on top of this, a urethane foam sheet 6 is placed, and a drying sheet 1 is covered. While repeating this operation, the drying sheets 1, flowers 7, and urethane foam sheets 6 are alternately stacked.

Next, the polyethylene sheet 4 made of the stacked polymers is wrapped like wrapping a wrapping cloth so that the drying sheet 1 absorbs only the moisture of the flowers 7. Another one of the pressing plates 2 and 3 is placed over this package. By applying a heavy load to the upper and lower pressing plates 2 and 3 and fixing them with a tightening means 5 using magic tape or the like, dried flowers 7 can be obtained in 1 to 2 days in summer and 2 to 3 days in winter. It will be done.

Dried pressed flowers can be made immediately using dried flowers 7, but if there are many flowers, arrange them on the mount of storage sheet 8 shown in FIG. 2 and cover with cover film 9 to improve gas barrier properties. Place it in a bag 10 and heat seal the opening. If stored in a dark place, it will not change color for more than 3 years.

The dried flowers are neatly arranged on the cushioning sheet 13 of the pressed flower mount 11 shown in FIG. Gas barrier bag 1 after removing the air from the barrier bag 10
The dried pressed flower of the present invention is completed by heat sealing the opening of No. 0. Dried pressed flowers can be stored for several years in a dry state with almost no oxidation. The cushioning sheet 13 is normally white, but various colored sheets can be used to highlight the flowers, or a background can be drawn on the cushioning sheet.

According to the present invention, there are the following advantages.

The drying set is easy to carry when traveling, hiking, etc., so you can easily dry collected flowers and flowers in the fields or mountains.

You can also create pressed flowers by placing the collected flowers directly on a pressed flower mount.

It dries quickly, and unless it is a plant with fleshy leaves or flowers, it dries in 1 to 2 days in summer and 2 to 3 days in winter.

Dried flowers can be stored for more than three years as material for pressed flowers.

There is little discoloration during drying, and the green leaves in particular have a bright finish.

Pressed flower works can be stored for several years without changing color.
