Description

  The present invention relates to artificial plants such as artificial flowers that emit fragrance.

BACKGROUND ART Heretofore, artificial plants such as artificial flowers have been widely used together with fresh flowers as ornaments that give comfort to the human heart. Artificial plants such as artificial flowers do not wither or wither, but they do not emit a peculiar fragrance like fresh flowers and do not appeal to the sense of smell, so artificial flowers such as artificial flowers modified to give off fragrance Some plants have also been developed.
As a conventional technique, for example, "Patent Document 1" discloses "an artificial flower with an aroma in which a stem-shaped capillary member having a flower-shaped decoration member attached to an upper end is inserted into a container containing a liquid aromatic agent". There is.
(Patent Document 2) "Aromatic artificial flower in which destroyed aromatic ultrafine particles in which a volatile aromatic agent is encapsulated in microcapsules are kneaded or coated on at least the surface of an artificial flower formed of a synthetic resin molded article or the like. Is disclosed.
JP, 2001-140120, A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-12430

However, the above conventional technique has the following problems.
In the technology disclosed in (1) (Patent Document 1), the stalk-shaped capillary member constantly sucks up the fragrance due to the capillary phenomenon, so that the fragrance of the fragrance constantly floats around, and a plurality of fragrances are added at the artificial flower counters such as department stores. When artificial flowers are displayed, there is a problem that the scents of the fragrances are mixed with each other to cause discomfort.
(2) Since the stem-shaped capillary member with the flower-shaped decoration member attached to the upper end is inserted into the container containing the liquid fragrance, the impression that it is a fake artificial flower is strong and is not gorgeous. It has a problem that it cannot be used as a product.
(3) The fragrance may be volatilized during storage, and in this case, there is a problem that a scent is hardly obtained during use and storage stability is poor.
(4) In the technique disclosed in (Patent Document 2), it is necessary to dispose the destroyed aromatic ultrafine particles in which the volatile aromatic agent is encapsulated in microcapsules by kneading or coating, so that the production is difficult and the productivity is low. It had the problem of being low.
(5) Destruction due to light stimuli such as artificial flowers swaying by the wind or touching artificial flowers with hands, the aromatic ultrafine particles are destroyed and give off an aroma, so the fragrance of the fragrance spreads around during transportation and storage. There was a problem of drifting and mixing of fragrances of aromatics to cause discomfort. Further, since the destroyed aromatic ultrafine particles are destroyed even during transportation or storage, there is a problem that almost no scent can be obtained during use.
(6) Since the amount of destructive aromatic ultrafine particles that can be arranged by kneading or coating is small, the amount of aroma is small, and thus it is difficult to produce an artificial plant that emits a strong aroma such as roses and lilies. At the same time, there is a problem that aroma does not occur in a place where there is no irritation such as touch with the wind or hands, and a natural aroma such as fresh flowers cannot be obtained.

  The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the fragrance liquid does not volatilize or deteriorate even after long-term storage, and has excellent storage stability. It has excellent usability because it can diverge ingredients, and it can be easily incorporated without exposing the container containing the aroma liquid to a conspicuous place. An object is to provide an artificial plant that can be used as a product.

The strong aroma of aroma liquid can be released to the surroundings.

  The present invention relates to artificial plants such as artificial flowers that give off aroma, and has excellent preservability without volatilizing or degrading the aroma liquid even when stored for a long period of time. It has excellent usability because it can emit volatile components, and it can be easily installed without exposing the container containing the aroma liquid to a place where it is conspicuous, so it does not give the impression of artificial flowers and can bring out the gorgeousness of fresh flowers. An artificial plant that can be used as a substitute can be provided.

[0002]
(3) The fragrance may be volatilized during storage, and in this case, there is a problem that a scent is hardly obtained during use and storage stability is poor.
(4) In the technique disclosed in (Patent Document 2), it is necessary to dispose the destroyed aromatic ultrafine particles in which the volatile aromatic agent is encapsulated in microcapsules by kneading or coating, so that the production is difficult and the productivity is low. It had the problem of being low.
(5) Destruction due to light stimuli such as artificial flowers swaying by the wind or touching artificial flowers with hands, the aromatic ultrafine particles are destroyed and give off an aroma, so the fragrance of the fragrance spreads around during transportation and storage. There was a problem of drifting and mixing of fragrances of aromatics to cause discomfort. Further, since the destroyed aromatic ultrafine particles are destroyed even during transportation or storage, there is a problem that almost no scent can be obtained during use.
(6) Since the amount of destructive aromatic ultrafine particles that can be placed by kneading or coating is small, the amount of aroma is small, so it is difficult to manufacture artificial plants that emit a strong aroma such as roses and lilies. In addition, there is a problem that aroma does not occur in a place where there is no irritation such as touch with the wind or hands, and a natural aroma such as fresh flowers cannot be obtained.
[0004]
