在花部及/或葉部的一部分含有撥水/撥油性物質時 ,例如以噴霧器等使撥水/撥油性物質擴散分布在花瓣中 時,可以變化花瓣的模樣。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 另外,莖部及/或葉部的芯部含有顏色變遷防止劑時 ,可以使其固定所期望的顏色、模樣的變化狀態。 另外,在莖部及/或葉部的周圍設置顏色變遷防止構 件時,可以有效地防止色素從莖部或葉部移往與莖部或葉 部接觸的人或物。 本發明中,莖部具有得以儲存液狀媒體之儲存部較爲 理想時,花部也具有同樣的儲存部較爲理想。特別是莖部 較長時,利用毛細管現象,使液狀媒體從與液狀媒體相接 -6 - 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) Α4規格(210X297公釐) 1226822 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 ____B7_五、發明説明U ) 觸之莖部的露出部(通常爲最下端部)移送到上方的葉或 花部(通常是最上方)會有困難。該情況,因在儲存部可 以儲存液狀媒體,所以順利將該所儲存的液狀媒體移送到 更上方。 進而,花部具有得以與吸液性物質連通液體之花瓣、 及不與液性物質連通液體之花瓣時,因產生顏色、模樣會 變化的花瓣及不會變化的花瓣,所以可以調整、設計花全 體的模樣、印象。 另外,組合本發明人工植物的1種或2種以上及一般 人工植物的1種或2種以上所形成之花束、捧花等的狀態 則用來提高其觀賞性較具理想。 本發明的人工植物由於可以經使花部及/或葉部和莖 部及/或枝部連通液體而變化顏色或得有花香、舞動等的 功能,所以可以達成此功能之使用方法較爲理想。具體上 ,本發明的人工植物使用方法包括使莖芯部的露出部分與 液狀媒體相接觸。因此從莖芯部的露出部分,液狀媒體透 過構成莖、枝芯部的吸液性物質,移送到花部及/或葉部 。進而,液狀媒體含有色素,較理想的是含有水溶性色素

的芯部之莖及/或枝而構成之人工植物。花部及/或葉部 和莖部及/或枝部係以吸水性物質等的吸液性物質加以連 通。莖芯部具有與水溶液等的液狀媒體得以接觸之露出部 分。 上述構成的人工植物,經使莖芯部的露出部分與水溶 液等的液狀媒體相接觸,液狀媒體被吸收到設在莖及/或 枝的內部之吸水性物質等的吸液性物質,進而利用毛細管 現象,流到花及/或葉中。特別是水溶液等的水性媒體移 送,水分含在由吸水性物質所形成的花及/或葉中,而感 覺到如同鮮花,一般的人造花則無此感覺,並且水分逐漸 從花及或葉的部分蒸發,而具有室內加濕的功能。 即是本發明的人工植物,利用毛細管現象可以使花或 葉感覺如同鮮花,同時對室內具有加濕效果。 此處,吸水性物質係指吸液性,若爲具有毛細管現象 的物質則沒有特別的限制,而不論是天然品還是合成品。 具體例可以列舉有細玻璃管或多種組合、衛生紙、萱紙、 麻布、綿布、絹布、聚丙嫌質的布、綿、中空線、海棉、 玻璃纖維等。此處,考慮到加濕效果時,若爲得以吸收、 移流水分之吸水性物質較爲理想,不過並不侷限於此。本 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) ~7Z ' 一 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝- 訂 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1226822 A7 B7 五、發明説明0 ) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 發明中,用於花部、葉部、莖部、枝部的芯部之吸水性物 質利用毛細管現象使其移送水溶液等的液狀媒體’不過構 成芯部之吸液性物質所使用之纖維,長條狀對移流液狀媒 體更具效果。另外,該情況,纖維的粗細具有不因吸液而 變化、滋潤的傾向,構成芯部之吸液性物質爲萱紙較理想 ;特別是依需求所製作之萱紙較爲理想。 本發明中花部係指具有花瓣的部位,其形狀、構成並 沒有特別限定,其花的種類也沒有特別限制。葉部也是其 形狀、片數、大小等都沒有特別的限制,不過考慮到加濕 效果等,則使水分移送,保持一段時間,進而使其蒸發較 爲理想。 花托部具有儲液的功能較爲理想。由此點則爲吸水性 等的吸液性較理想。另外,可以依大小、質材調整液狀媒 體的移送速度,所以也可以調整花瓣的顏色變化速度。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 進而,花瓣、葉、枝、莖的其中1個以上,其全部或 一部分可以含有膨脹劑、固化劑、膠化劑的1種或2種以 上。例如吸收水分而固化之環氧體、或水系的膠劑等都能 適宜使用。此樣花瓣、葉、枝、莖的其中1種以上,其全 部或一部分含有滋潤劑、固化劑、膠化劑的1種或2種以 上,因而可以大幅改變形狀或形象。 以吸水性物質等的吸液性物質構成莖及/或枝的芯部 係從與液狀媒體接觸之莖的露出部分,利用對花等的毛細 管現象,移送水、水溶液等的液狀媒體爲必要的條件;若 可以達成此目的之吸液性物質,則其材質、形狀、量等並 ^紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) 1226822 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 B7五、發明説明6 ) 沒有特別限制。此處所使用吸水性物質等的吸液性物質之 比例,由於是使水分等移流送到花或葉中,所以不單是吸 收的質,順利移流水分等則較理想。吸液性物質的例已載 述過。 通常,從莖的露出部分到花及/或葉的路徑,可以採 用透過吸水性等的吸液性物質之形態。另外,以吸液性物 質當作芯,施予一定程度的加工作爲莖的外皮,或預先在 莖等的內部形成空間且在其內部塡入吸液性物質亦可。進 而本發明也包括將預先在塑膠樹脂製管道等充塡的吸液性 物質後通到莖或枝的內部。莖、枝的外皮材質沒有特別限 制,不過若以使含水等的液狀媒體有效地移流送到花、葉 中爲著眼點,則不易吸收含水等的液狀媒體,中途不致蒸 發含水等的液狀媒體,因而使用不透過水分之塑膠、乙烯 樹脂、金屬等的材質較爲理想;另外,從方便使用之點則 使用不易變形的材質較爲理想。莖部及/或枝部具有多層 構造。 如同本發明,經由在莖或枝的內部設置移送水的通路 ,因而作爲觀賞用植物具有良好的最大存在價値之「豪華 感」。過去觀賞用植物發生外部脫離管筒,這種情況對外 觀造成不良影響。依據本發明,即使使水移送到花或葉的 複數個處所,也只要從莖的一處切口等吸水即可;況且其 液狀媒體的路徑從外部看不見。但是設置在外部之管筒時 ,必要複數個吸水口及複數個管筒,以外部互相連結,外 觀不良,作用觀賞用會大幅削減其存在價値。另外,如同 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) ^ ~ (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 1226822 A7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 __B7五、發明説明(ίο ) 下述所說明,例如使顏色改變時,本發明則是在欲使顏色 變化的花或葉正前方(莖側)設置其色素即可;欲使花或 葉呈現複數種不同的色彩時,只要能改變所設置的顏色即 可。外部管筒對應於此顏色時,則如上述複數個管筒伸到 外部,外觀不適於觀賞。進而若預先知道花色的變化則其 效果減半,因而使用外部管筒時侷限於經著色的不透明導 筒,觀賞性受限制而不理想。 人工植物的種類不受限於花、草、植物、盆栽等;另 外,即使是加工過的人造花、乾燥花等亦可。 另外,本發明的1種形態,花部具有由滋潤所造成形 狀變形受限於一定方向之吸濕滋潤劑的滋潤劑所形成之花 托、及以其變化的方向所設置之花瓣。 滋潤造成形狀的變化受限於一定方向之滋潤劑使其對 應於該變化而設置花瓣,當移送液狀媒體時往限制滋潤劑 的一定方向變形,而可以使其變化花瓣的位置、方向,且 可以產生花全體的舞動;另外還可以使其改變形狀。 依據上述的手法,即使Si葉或莖部產生同樣的舞動, 也可以使其改變形狀。 吸濕滋潤劑等的滋潤劑,列舉有滋潤工等的粘度鑛物 、或水滋潤橡膠、高分子膠等;也可以使用其他眾知的滋 潤劑。 形狀的變化受限於一定方向,可以例示固定滋潤劑的 周圍,只有一者不固定的情況。此處受限於一定方向並不 是只有一方向受限制,而是包含複數個一定方向。因而可 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本紙張尺度適用中國國家榇準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -13- 1226822 A7 B7 五、發明説明(1彳) 以限制滋潤劑的變化方向。 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 以滋潤劑變形變化的方向設置花瓣,而可以使其變化 花瓣舞動、開花等。相反地,液狀媒體逐漸蒸發減少,也 可以使花凋謝。另外,也可以在視覺上把握水分或液狀媒 體的過度不足。 特別是只除了一方向(只開放一方向)固定周圍時, 依照其周圍整合花瓣,而以未開花的程度加以固定,則利 用滋潤劑的變化,改變開花的樣子。 另外,在莖及/或枝的芯部含有色素,理想的是含有 水溶性色素時,利用毛細管現象,水溶液等的液狀媒體透 過枝的內部逐漸移送之過程中,通過具有色素的部分,因 而到達花及/或葉的時間點形成爲含有色素的水溶液等, 可以對花及/或葉施加該顏色,因而可以使花及/或葉的 顏色變化。經調整所使用色素的性質、量或設置的位置, 就可以調整顏色的變化狀況或速度。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 另外,長時間繼續使用,可以期許花及/或葉的顏色 開始淡薄而逐漸增濃的過程變化。進而,色素並不是單色 也可以使用複數種顏色;依色素的設置狀況也可以期許花 及/或葉的色彩種種變化。設置複數種色素時,經由其色 素的性質、量、配置可以調整顏色變化的狀況、變化的順 序等。進而可以利用溶解到所使用的液狀媒體之溶解性不 同進行調整。 在花及/或葉的根源處設置各種色彩不同的色素,理 想的是設置水溶性色素,而可以得到具有多色的花、葉之 -14- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) 1226822 A7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 _ B7五、發明説明(12 ) 人工植物;另外可以期許其變化。另外,在花及/或葉的 根源設置單色的色素,在以後詳述的液狀媒體施加其他顏 色的1種或更多的色素,也能夠以複數種顏色變化花部及 /或葉部。 外加經長時間保持,而在花及/或葉的末端集結色素 ,可以使其變化葉緣。 如上述,即使不在花及/或葉的根源設置各種色彩的 色素,理想的是不設置水溶性色素時,當然也使用含有色 素之水溶液等的液狀媒體,而可以取得同樣的效果。 另外,在花部及/或葉部的一部分使其含有撥水/撥 油物質時,經由其撥水/撥油性物質的配置,可以使其變 化成種種的模樣。例如以噴霧器等將撥水/撥油性物質散 布在花瓣時,可以使其變化成斑紋狀的模樣。因此,撥水 /撥油性物質係指具有撥水性及/或撥油性的物質;例如 矽、碳化氫聚合體、聚(全氟代辛基丙烯酸酯樹脂)、或 含有此質的氟系撥水/撥油劑。實際使用的可以例示優尼 代因(商品名,日本大金工業製)等。 另外,預先在乙烯樹脂製的管筒等充塡吸液性物質再 通到莖或枝的內部,在該管筒的外壁與莖或枝的內壁之間 進而設置吸液性物質時,使用其管筒等的內側與外側各不 相同之水溶性色素等的色素,而可以對各別花或枝的顏色 施加變化;另外花部等可以經色素的混合施加色彩的變化

可以使用眾知的香料、除臭劑,可以依房間用、廁所 用、玄關用、寵物用等種種的用途加以選用。 觀賞用植物所具有的重要存在意義係使人心舒暢。依 據上述構成,室內可以充滿芳香,依該芳香可以人心舒暢 ’也可用於芳香劑療法。另外,選擇與人工植物同種的花 香,也可以使其提高實際感。 關於香料當然是使用水溶性的香料;關於油性的香料 經由以乙醇等的有機溶媒加以稀釋就可以適合使用。 使用除臭劑時,具有除去房間的異臭等而提高居住環 境之效果。另外,倂用香料時比單獨以香料的芳香時好印 象;上述過的舒暢效果更加提高。使用除臭劑時,加上一 般用於房間,用於廚房、浴室、廁所、玄關等時更加理想 〇 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 廚房、浴室、廁所則由於水經使用或積留,因而可以 簡單地使用。例如在廁所的儲水槽內隨時含有除臭劑時, 在該儲水槽內直接使用本發明的人工植物,就可適當地獲 得除臭效果。 此種本發明的人工植物,由於具備美感及除臭功能, 因而認爲是非常理想。 花及/或葉含有經p Η的變化而變化顏色之物質時’ 將酸性、鹼性的水溶液移送到花及/或葉中,因而可以使 其化學性變化其色彩。 -16- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) Α4規格(210Χ297公釐) 1226822 Α7 Β7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 五、發明説明(14 ) 經p Η的變化而改變顏色之物質可以使用酸鹽基指示 劑、氧化還原指示劑等。 酸鹽基指示劑係用來得知溶液的Ρ Η値所用之指示劑 的統稱;一般有機色素的種類,分類爲酞系、偶氮基、三 苯甲烷系、苯系、硝系指示劑。例舉有甲基紅、α -萘酚 酞、酚酞、酚紅、溴百里酚藍、百里酚酞等。色彩的變化 例如百里酚酞在Ρ Η 8 · 2〜1 0 · 0的範圍變色;酸性 色爲無色,鹽基性色爲紅色。另外使用含括多種的Ρ Η値 依照各別的ρ Η値顯示不同的顏色之萬能指示劑,而可以 得到依各ρ Η値變化成不同的顏色之本發明的人工植物。 另外,氧化還原指示劑係指用來推測氧化還原電位所 使用之色素。例舉有亞甲藍、甲苯胺藍、酚藏花紅、中性 紅等。 其色彩變化後,進而將相反性質的水溶液(已以酸性 水溶液變化過則爲鹼性的水溶液)含在花及/或葉中,利 用化學性中和就可以回到原來的顏色;另外將以複數種 ρ Η的變化改變顏色之物質含在花及葉中時,持續輸送該 相反性質的水溶液則可以變化複數種不同的顏色。 進而,在莖及/或枝的內部含有酸性及/或鹼性的物 質時,接觸到莖的露出部分之水溶液等的液狀媒體並不是 酸性、鹼性,即使單純的水,當水分移送到花及/或葉中 之際形成爲酸性、鹼性,因而經上述ρ Η的變化而能夠變 化含有變化顏色的物質之花及/或葉的色彩。 另外,花及/或葉中含有經不同ρ Η的變化而改變顏

媒體含在花及/或葉中,則螢光發色,而大幅改變其印象 。其他將粒子、微粉狀態的塗料預先塗在花或葉上也得有 同樣的效果。 上述載述之人工植物的使用方法,花部及/或葉部和 莖部及/或枝部連通液體就可以獲得顏色的改變、香味、 舞動等的功能,因而使用可以達成此功能之使用方法較爲 理想。例如也可以直接將溶液注入到莖部、枝部;另外包 括使露出到莖的下端面之莖芯部的露出部分與水、水溶液 等的液狀媒體接觸。與此液狀媒體的接觸係將莖部浸漬在 液狀媒體中或是將莖部插入到含有液狀媒體的物質(例如 ’含水海棉、土壤等)。因此,從莖芯部的露出部分,水 溶液等的液狀媒體透過莖、枝內部的吸水性物質等之吸水 性物質得以移送到花及/或葉中。因此,利用加濕效果, 或設置在莖等的內部之色素或香料等,變化花或枝的顏色 ;另外,可以將房間除臭或充滿芳香。 進而,液狀媒體含有色素,理想的是含有水溶性色素 的情況,當調整爲酸性及/或鹼性時,如同上述,可以改 變花或葉的色彩。特別是使用含有色素,理想的是含有水 溶性色素之水溶液等的液狀媒體時,爲了期待變化的意外 性,使用蓋或密閉或者是接近密閉的容器使其看不到該色 ^扯衣-- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 訂 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -18- 1226822 A7 B7 五、發明説明(16 )

使用時的重要形態。另外,作爲觀賞用,也是促進設作爲 觀賞用,用來使其提高其價値爲重要的形態。另外,以除 臭性等的功能爲中心進行設計的情況;例如即使設置在房 間或廁所等時,也適度具有該功能,同時也具有視覺上的 美觀較爲理想;比既有的商品還合適。另外,其特徵爲使 花部變形之使用方法較爲理想。因此,用來增加觀賞性、 意外性較具理想,可以更加強調植物的要素較具理想。 上述顏色的變化、變化的速度、色彩、模樣等的調整 ,可以依據所使用色素的種類、量或液狀媒體的性質加以 調整。 關於色素可以依據分子量、對液狀媒體的溶解性等加 以調整。關於液狀媒體則依據所調配的乙醇等之有機溶媒 、界面活性劑等的活加劑、香料、除臭劑等的種類,含量 以及分子量,特別調整色素或香料、除臭劑的移送速度, 因而可以調整上述的變化等。 乙醇等的有機溶媒會影響到色素的溶解性、香料除臭 劑的揮發性等。有機溶媒列舉有乙醇、乙二醇、乙二醇釀 、丙三醇等,不過從安全性、操作性、成本等的觀點,則 使用乙醇(含變性品)、丙二醇、丁二醇、聚乙二醇(分 子量約1 0 0〜約1 0 0 0 )、丙三醇等較爲理想。含量 可以依其功能作適當gj|整’不過例如爲聚乙二醇之p E G 一 2 0 0 (日本三洋化學工業製)則爲〇 . 1〜皙量 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS )

狀媒體的上吸速度,同時可以調整色素的移動速度。另外 ,調配P E G就能調整色素的附著,所以花中心部的顏色 增濃,可以含括花全體均等地著色。特別是未調配P E G 則一般全部形成爲無緣模樣而無法調整色調或模樣,不過 經調配P E G就可以調整色調、模樣。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 另外,界面活性劑等的添加劑,由於會影響到色素的 移送速度,因而可以調整顏色變化的期間、持續芳香、除 臭效果的期間。特別是界面活性劑提高溶液的移送速度,· 另外具有使香料或油性色素擴散在水中等的效果;利用此 分子量、烷基鏈的分岐、乙烯氧化物的數量、丙烯氧化物 的數量可以調整該效果的強弱。界面活性劑例如列舉有陰 離子界面活性劑、陽離子界面活性劑、兩性界面活性劑、 非離子界面活性劑;從安全性、操作性、成本性的觀點, 則可以使用非離子界面活性劑等。含量可以依其功能作適

經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A7 B7五、發明説明(19 ) 變化的順序。另外,可以液狀媒體與色素的溶解性差進行 調整。水溶性色素及油性色素即使設置在相同位置,也是 利用對該液狀媒體的溶解性,例如水溶性色素先行移送, 而使花瓣的顏色改變,其後移送油性色素,而可以使其產 生下一個的變化。另外也可以同樣地調整香料、除臭劑, 例如也可以經調整使其先行進行除臭,其後產生香味;也 可以隨著時間經過使其變化香味的濃烈度、種類。 例如在一株人工植物其莖部的芯部使其含有對液狀媒 體具有不同溶解性之複數種色素(例如,水溶性色素、及 油性色素);使用有機溶媒與水的混合物(含水有機溶媒 ),因而可以調整花或葉其顏色的變化順序、變化開始的 時期、變化的模樣、色調。即是能隨著時間經過調整顏色 的變化。 另外,在複數種人工植物的莖芯部使其含有相互間對 液狀媒體具有不同溶解性的色素使其複數種人工植物成爲 花束同時浸漬在上述含水有機溶媒,因而各個人工植物其 不同的色彩,不同的時期開始變化,各株人工植物也可以 是不同的模樣、色調。利用此種構成,花束全體可以使其 提高審美性。 然而,上述的情況,使用乙醇等芳香性的溶媒作爲含 水有機溶媒,因而周圍環境佈滿芳香。 另外,在於本發明,使用色素時,倂用阻止對周圍的 物或人移送色素之顏色遷染防止劑較爲理想。例如莖芯部 含有色素時,使用含有顏色遷染防止劑的媒體作爲液狀媒 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(21〇><297公釐) -22- 1226822 A7 B7 五、發明説明) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 體,則可以使其固定液狀媒體其色素的溶解及展開時花/ 葉的著色狀態。即是在顏色或模樣改變的過程,於所期望 的變化階段從液狀媒體中取出人工植物,因而能夠得到喜 好的顏色、模樣之人工植物。該情況,色素由於被固定, 因而不致褪色,可以防止色素所造成手、衣服、牆壁等的 污染。同樣的作用,效果若在莖芯部使其含有顏色遷染防 止劑,使用含有色素的媒體作爲液狀媒體也可以達成。此 後者的情況,因液狀媒體未含顏色遷染防止劑,所以顏色 的變化更具有自由度。另外,無論任何的情況,將顏色遷 染防止劑封塡到囊袋中,經一定時間後顏色就可以使色素 調配到液狀媒體中。該情況,花瓣等經一定期間的變化後 ,就可以在該狀態下使色素穩固。另外不使用顏色遷染防 止劑,直到所期望的階段爲止使顏色/模樣變化後,從液 狀媒體取出該人工植物,利用噴霧器等塗上顏色遷染防止 劑也能得到同樣的效果。然而,適當選擇色素及顏色遷染 防止劑,因而可以得到未預期顏色的變化。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 在顏色遷染防止劑含有用來使植物性色素(草木染料 )固定著色之媒染劑。媒染劑中,其中鐵媒染劑列舉有氯 化第一鐵、氯化第二鐵、硫酸第一鐵;鉻媒染劑列舉有醋 酸鉻等;銅媒染劑列舉有醋酸銅、硫酸銅等;錫媒染劑列 舉有錫酸鈉等;鋁媒染劑列舉有鋁鉀礬、硫酸鋁等;石灰 媒染劑列舉有消石灰、其他醋。媒染劑可以使用0 . 1〜

或葉。該披膜形成性顏色遷染防止劑,列舉有陽離子系界 面活性劑;卵白;亞油酸肥皂、亞麻酸肥皂、共軛亞油酸 肥皂等的肥皂類;生漆、檟如塗料等的塗料;松香、達馬 (dammar )、站巴、蟲膠等的天然樹脂;桐油、亞麻仁油 等的天然油;棕櫚臘、白臘、木臘、密臘等的天然臘;油 漆、油漬、聚胺脂漆、透明漆(透明較爲理想,透明漆係 指以硝化纖維素爲主成分,在此纖維素中添加天然樹脂、 合成樹脂、可塑劑之漆);被稱爲丙烯系乳化漆之合成乳 化漆的1種(A E P )、被稱爲水性乳化漆之合成乳化漆 的2種、氯化乙烯樹脂瓷漆等的樹脂、塗料。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 另外,在於本發明,也可以在液狀媒體中調配藍染的 染料、染液。人工植物經由染料改變顏色後,利用空氣中 的氧而氧化該染料,因而可以使其產生、變化成藍色。這 些顏色遷染防止劑依所需溶解到溶媒中而利用噴霧器噴洒 。該情況,在花瓣、葉的周緣部塗上顏色遷染防止劑,就 可以防止顏色遷染。這些顏色遷染防止劑也可以完全染到 構成花瓣、葉上;應用於花瓣、葉的表面,所應用的部分 改變顏色,不過也可以防止顏色遷染。 進而,使用披膜形成性的顏色遷染防止劑,則能在花 瓣或葉上作成所期望的模樣(斑紋模樣、圓點模樣)、圖 形、符號、文字或這些的組合。即是依照所期望的模樣採 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS )

成性顏色遷染防止劑較爲理想;此外含有色素之液狀媒體 爲油性時,使用水性的披膜形成性顏色遷染防止劑較爲理 相〇 y 另外,爲了防止展開成花瓣或葉之色素的遷染,也可 以在花瓣或葉的周圍設置顏色遷染防止構件。顏色遷染防 止構件可以由經靜電植毛加工設置在花瓣或葉的周圍。或 者是顏色遷染防止構件也能夠以夾持花瓣或葉的周緣兩側 之絲帶膜片構成。 其他,前述過,即使調整花托部的材質、大小,也可 以調整變化的速度等。例如,即使此花托部爲吸水性等的 吸液性,由於過大時過多蒸發花托部的水分等,因而液狀 媒體加快上吸,而會有顏色改變也提早的傾向。 另外,依塗敷撥水/撥油性物質的方式,可以調整花 部的模樣。另外,依塗敷量也可以調整變化的速度。 進而,花瓣等的材質組合複數種,也可以使每片花瓣 的顏色變化速度等不同。 進而在於本發明人工植物的花部具有複數種的花瓣時 ,使至少1種花瓣與莖芯部的吸液性物質連通,使其他的 花瓣與莖芯部的吸液性物質連通,因而可以使其產生顏色 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -25- 1226822 A7 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 B7五、發明説明泛3 ) '模樣改變的花瓣及未改變的花瓣,而可以調整設計花全 體的模樣、印象。例如可以使花中心部的花瓣與莖芯部的 吸液性物質連通,使外周的花瓣與莖芯部的吸液性物質連 通。此情況,因色素未到達外周的花瓣,所以即使接觸到 牆壁或衣服也不致造成污染。爲了使其不與莖芯部的吸液 性物質連通,而將該其他的花瓣連接到莖外皮(塑膠管筒 等)或以非吸液性物質形成該其他的花瓣。 本發明的1個理想形態,所使用的色素也可能是耐光 性較低的色素。光(太陽光、紫外線)照射到以耐光性較 低的色素所著色之花部或葉部,則該顏色逐漸褪色,最後 花部或葉部成爲原來的顏色。此樣具有已褪色的花部或葉 部之人工植物可以再度使用。 另外,本發明的其他理想形態,所使用的色素由耐光 性較低的色素與耐光性較高的色素之組合所形成。光(太 陽 '紫外線)照射到以該兩種色素的組合所著色之花部或 葉部,則耐光性較低的色素褪色,而花部或葉部出現耐光 性較高的色素。例如,將耐光性較高的紅色1 0 2號(曰 本C·

Description of the invention (2) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The flower and / or leaf parts formed, and An artificial plant having a stem portion and / or a branch portion of a core portion formed of a liquid-absorbing substance such as a water-absorbing substance. The core of the stem has an exposed portion capable of coming into contact with the liquid medium. The flower part and / or the leaf part and the stem part and / or the branch part communicate with the liquid-absorbing substance having water absorption by contacting the core part with the liquid medium. The artificial plant with the above structure is exposed to the liquid medium such as an aqueous solution through the exposed part of the core of the stem. The capillary medium is used to penetrate the core of the stem and the liquid medium is supplied to the flower or leaf; especially the liquid medium is an aqueous solution. When it is used as an aqueous medium, it can be made to have vitality. It can feel like a real flower, and at the same time, it can evaporate and diffuse water and vapor from the flower and leaf to achieve a humidifying effect on the room. In the present invention, the flower portion may include a flower portion formed by a moisturizing agent such as a hygroscopic moisturizing agent whose shape change is limited by a certain direction of the liquid medium moisturizing agent, and a flower petal portion provided in the direction of the change. This situation. When the liquid medium such as water is absorbed into a moisturizing agent such as a hygroscopic moisturizing agent, the shape of the flower can be changed, such as the petals blooming. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In addition, when the core of the stem and / or branch contains a pigment, it is desirable that when a water-soluble pigment is contained, 'the capillary phenomenon is used, and the liquid medium containing the pigment can make the flower and / or Leaf color changes. Furthermore, it can be maintained for a long period of time, and the pigments at the ends of the flowers and / or leaves can be gathered to change the flower margin. When the flower portion of the stem and / or branch contains fragrance and / or deodorant, it is not only a vision that can change color, shape, etc., but also has an effect on indoor deodorization or indoor bromine perception of fragrance distribution. When the flower and / or leaf contains substances that change color by changing pΗ, using liquid media such as an acidic or alkaline aqueous solution, the color paper size can be adapted to the CNS Α4 Specifications (210X297mm) Τ 1226822 Α7 Β7 5. Description of the invention (3) Color chemical changes. In addition, after the change, the color can be changed again by neutralization (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). Furthermore, if the core of the stem and / or branch contains acidic and / or alkaline substances, it will interact with the core of the stem. The liquid medium in contact with the exposed part of the part is not acidic or alkaline but only water. When the water moves to the flowers and / or leaves, it forms an acidic and alkaline liquid medium. p 色彩 changes the color of the flower and / or leaf of the substance that changes color. In addition, when the flower portion and / or the leaf portion contains fluorescent particles, if a liquid medium such as water is contained in the flower and / or leaf by using a capillary phenomenon, the color of the fluorescent light is greatly changed, and the impression is greatly changed. Furthermore, when one or more of petals, leaves, branches, and stems are composed of one or two or more of an emollient, a curing agent, and a gum flowering agent, a change or impression can be formed. When the flower part and / or part of the leaf part contains water-repellent / oil-repellent substances, for example, when the water-repellent / oil-repellent substances are diffused and distributed in the petals by a sprayer or the like, the appearance of the petals can be changed. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In addition, when the core of the stem and / or leaf contains a color change preventing agent, it can fix the desired color and appearance change state. In addition, when a color change preventing member is provided around the stem and / or leaf, the pigment can be effectively prevented from moving from the stem or leaf to persons or objects that come into contact with the stem or leaf. In the present invention, it is preferable that the stem portion has a storage portion capable of storing the liquid medium, and the flower portion also has the same storage portion. Especially when the stem is longer, the capillary medium is used to connect the liquid medium to the liquid medium.-This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X297 mm). 1226822 Employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Consumer cooperatives print A7 ____B7_ V. Description of the invention U) It will be difficult to transfer the exposed part of the stem part (usually the lowermost part) to the upper leaf or flower part (usually the uppermost part). In this case, since the liquid medium can be stored in the storage section, the stored liquid medium is smoothly moved to the upper side. Furthermore, when the flower part has petals that can communicate with the liquid-absorbing substance and petals that do not communicate with the liquid substance, petals that change color and appearance and petals that do not change can be adjusted and designed. Overall appearance, impression. In addition, a combination of one or two or more artificial plants of the present invention and one or two or more artificial plants is generally used to improve the ornamental properties.

Description of the invention f) [Embodiment] The present invention will be described in more detail below. The present invention provides an artificial structure composed of flowers and / or leaves formed of a liquid-absorbent substance such as a water-absorbent substance, and stems and / or branches having a core portion formed of a liquid-absorbent substance such as a water-absorbent substance. plant. The flower part and / or the leaf part and the stem part and / or the branch part are connected with a liquid-absorbing substance such as a water-absorbing substance. The core portion has an exposed portion that comes into contact with a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution. In the artificial plant having the above structure, the exposed portion of the core of the stem is brought into contact with a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution, and the liquid medium is absorbed into a liquid-absorbing substance such as a water-absorbing substance provided inside the stem and / or branch. The capillary phenomenon is used to flow into the flowers and / or leaves. In particular, water-based media such as aqueous solutions are transferred. Water is contained in flowers and / or leaves formed of water-absorbent substances, and it feels like flowers, but ordinary artificial flowers have no such feeling, and water gradually moves from flowers and / or leaves. Partially evaporates, but has the function of indoor humidification. That is, the artificial plant of the present invention can make a flower or a leaf feel like a flower by using a capillary phenomenon, and at the same time, it has a humidifying effect on the room. Here, the water-absorbent substance means a liquid-absorbent substance, and it is not particularly limited as long as it is a substance having a capillary phenomenon, regardless of whether it is a natural product or a synthetic product. Specific examples include a thin glass tube or a combination thereof, toilet paper, Xuan paper, linen, cotton cloth, silk cloth, polypropylene cloth, cotton, hollow thread, sponge, glass fiber, and the like. Here, in consideration of the humidifying effect, it is preferable to be a water-absorbing substance capable of absorbing and transferring water, but it is not limited thereto. The size of this paper is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) ~ 7Z '1 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Pack-Order Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Consumer Cooperatives 1226822 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention 0) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) In the invention, the water-absorbing substance used in the core of the flower, leaf, stem, and branch uses the capillary phenomenon to transfer the aqueous solution, etc. The "liquid medium" is only a fiber used for the liquid-absorbent substance constituting the core. In addition, in this case, the thickness of the fibers tends not to change and moisturize due to liquid absorption, and it is preferable that the liquid-absorbent substance constituting the core is Xuan paper; especially Xuan paper produced on demand is more desirable. The flower part in the present invention refers to a part having petals, and the shape and composition are not particularly limited, and the type of flower is not particularly limited. The shape, number of leaves, size, etc. of the leaves are not particularly limited, but considering the humidification effect, it is desirable to transfer the water and keep it for a while, and then evaporate it. The torus section has the function of storing liquid. From this point, liquid absorption properties such as water absorption are preferable. In addition, the liquid medium transfer speed can be adjusted according to the size and material, so the color change speed of the petals can also be adjusted. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Further, one or more of petals, leaves, branches, and stems may contain one or more types of bulking agents, curing agents, and gelling agents. For example, epoxy resins which cure by absorbing water, or water-based adhesives can be suitably used. One or more of these petals, leaves, branches, and stems contain one or two or more of a moisturizing agent, a curing agent, and a gelling agent in whole or in part, so that the shape or image can be greatly changed. The core of the stem and / or branch is composed of a liquid-absorbent substance such as a water-absorbent substance. From the exposed part of the stem that is in contact with the liquid medium, the capillary medium of flowers is used to transfer the liquid medium such as water and aqueous solution to: Necessary conditions; if the liquid-absorbent substance can achieve this purpose, its material, shape, quantity, etc. ^ paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) Printing A7 B7 V. Description of Invention 6) There is no particular limitation. The proportion of the liquid-absorbing substance such as the water-absorbing substance used here is to transfer water and the like to the flowers or leaves, so it is not only the quality of absorption, but it is preferable to smoothly transfer the water and the like. Examples of liquid-absorbent substances have been described. Generally, the path from the exposed part of the stem to the flower and / or leaf can take the form of a liquid-absorbing substance such as water absorption. Alternatively, the liquid-absorbent substance may be used as a core, and a certain degree of processing may be used as the outer skin of the stem, or a space may be formed in the inside of the stem or the like in advance, and a liquid-absorbent substance may be introduced into the inside. Further, the present invention also includes passing a liquid-absorbing substance filled with a plastic resin pipe or the like into a stem or a branch in advance. The outer skin material of the stem and branch is not particularly limited. However, if the liquid medium such as water is efficiently transferred to the flowers and leaves for the purpose, it will not be easy to absorb the liquid medium such as water, and the liquid such as water will not evaporate in the middle. It is ideal to use materials such as plastic, vinyl, and metal that are impermeable to moisture, and materials that are not easily deformed from the point of convenience. The stem and / or branch have a multilayer structure. As in the present invention, since a channel for transferring water is provided inside a stem or a branch, it has a good "luxury feeling" as an ornamental plant with the highest price. In the past, ornamental plants have been detached externally from the tube, which has a negative effect on the appearance. According to the present invention, even if water is transferred to a plurality of places of flowers or leaves, it is only necessary to absorb water from one cut of the stem or the like, and the path of the liquid medium is not visible from the outside. However, when the tube is installed on the outside, a plurality of suction ports and a plurality of tubes must be connected to each other externally, the appearance is not good, and the existence price is greatly reduced for viewing. In addition, as this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ^ ~ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 1226822 A7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs__B7 五Description of the invention (ίο) The following description, for example, when changing the color, the present invention is to set the pigment directly in front of the flower or leaf (stalk side) to change the color; For different colors, as long as you can change the set color. When the outer tube corresponds to this color, as shown above, the plural tubes extend to the outside, and the appearance is not suitable for viewing. Furthermore, if the change in color is known in advance, the effect will be halved. Therefore, when using an external tube, it is limited to the colored opaque tube, and the viewing is limited, which is not ideal. The types of artificial plants are not limited to flowers, grasses, plants, potted plants, etc. In addition, even processed artificial flowers, dried flowers, etc. may be used. In addition, in one aspect of the present invention, the flower portion has a torus formed by a moisturizing agent which is shaped by moisturizing a hygroscopic moisturizing agent whose shape deformation is limited in a certain direction, and petals provided in the direction of change. The change in shape caused by nourishment is limited by the moisturizer in a certain direction to make the petals corresponding to the change. When the liquid medium is transferred, the shape of the moisturizer is restricted to a certain direction, and the position and direction of the petals can be changed. You can make the whole flower dance; you can also change its shape. According to the above-mentioned method, even if the Si leaf or the stem part dances the same, it can change its shape. Moisturizing agents such as hygroscopic moisturizing agents include viscosity minerals such as moisturizing agents, water-moisturizing rubber, and high-molecular-weight rubber; other well-known moisturizing agents can also be used. The shape change is limited by a certain direction, and the surrounding of the moisturizer can be exemplified, and only one of them is not fixed. Limited by a certain direction here is not limited by only one direction, but includes a plurality of certain directions. Therefore (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 size (210X297 mm) -13- 1226822 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (1 彳) to limit moisture Agent change direction. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Set the petals in the direction that the moisturizer deforms and changes, so that the petals can dance, bloom, etc. Conversely, the gradual evaporation of the liquid medium can also cause the flowers to fade. In addition, it is possible to visually grasp the excessive shortage of moisture or liquid medium. In particular, when fixing the surroundings in only one direction (only one direction is open), the petals are integrated according to the surroundings, and fixed to the extent that it is not blooming. The change of the moisturizing agent is used to change the appearance of flowering. In addition, when the core of the stem and / or branch contains a pigment, it is desirable that when a water-soluble pigment is contained, a capillary phenomenon is used, and a liquid medium such as an aqueous solution is gradually transferred through the inside of the branch. At the time when the flower and / or leaf is reached, an aqueous solution or the like containing a pigment is formed, and since the color can be applied to the flower and / or leaf, the color of the flower and / or leaf can be changed. By adjusting the nature, amount or setting of the pigment used, you can adjust the color change or speed. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In addition, if it is continued to be used for a long time, it can be expected that the color of the flowers and / or leaves will start to fade and gradually increase. Furthermore, the pigment is not monochromatic, and multiple colors may be used. Depending on the setting of the pigment, various changes in the color of the flowers and / or leaves can be expected. When setting a plurality of pigments, you can adjust the status of the color change, the order of the changes, etc., by the properties, amount, and configuration of the pigments. Furthermore, it can be adjusted by taking advantage of the different solubility in the liquid medium used. Various pigments with different colors are set at the root of flowers and / or leaves. Ideally, water-soluble pigments are set to obtain multi-colored flowers and leaves. -14- This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications.

Invention Description (12) Artificial plant; other changes can be expected. In addition, a single-color pigment is provided at the root of the flower and / or leaf, and one or more pigments of other colors are applied to the liquid medium described in detail later. The flower and / or leaf can also be changed in multiple colors. . In addition, after long-term maintenance, pigments can be gathered at the ends of flowers and / or leaves, which can change the leaf edge. As described above, even if pigments of various colors are not provided at the roots of flowers and / or leaves, it is desirable to use liquid media such as an aqueous solution containing pigments, of course, when water-soluble pigments are not provided, and the same effect can be obtained. In addition, when a part of the flower part and / or the leaf part contains water-repellent / oil-repellent substances, the water-repellent / oil-repellent substances can be arranged into various shapes through the arrangement of the water-repellent / oil-repellent substances. For example, when spraying water-repellent / oil-repellent substances on the petals with a sprayer or the like, it can be changed into a striped pattern. Therefore, water-repellent / oil-repellent substances refer to substances that have water-repellent and / or oil-repellent properties; for example, silicon, hydrocarbon polymers, poly (perfluorooctyl acrylate resin), or fluorine-based water-repellent materials containing this quality. / Oil repellent. Examples of actual use include Uniden (trade name, manufactured by Daikin Industries, Japan) and the like. In addition, a tube made of vinyl resin or the like is filled with a liquid-absorbent substance before passing into the stem or branch, and a liquid-absorbent substance is further provided between the outer wall of the tube and the inner wall of the stem or branch. The inside and outside of the tube and the like are different pigments such as water-soluble pigments, etc., and the color of each flower or branch can be changed; in addition, the flower part can be changed in color or appearance by mixing the pigments. When the core of the stem and / or branch contains fragrance and / or deodorant, the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) is not applicable for this paper size (Please read the precautions on the back first) (Fill in this page again) 1226822 A7 __ B7_ V. The description of the invention (13) is to change the vision of color and shape only, and then has the effect of deodorizing the room or making the room full of fragrance. (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page.) You can use the well-known spices and deodorants, and you can choose for various uses such as room, toilet, entrance, and pet. The important existence of ornamental plants is to make people feel at ease. According to the above structure, the room can be filled with fragrance, and the fragrance can relax the heart ', and it can also be used for aromatherapy. In addition, choosing the same floral scent as the artificial plant can also make it more realistic. As for the fragrance, of course, a water-soluble fragrance is used; for oily fragrance, it can be suitably used by diluting it with an organic solvent such as ethanol. When a deodorant is used, it has the effect of removing odors from the room and improving the living environment. In addition, when used as a perfume, tincture is better than when the fragrance is used alone; the aforementioned relaxing effect is more enhanced. When using deodorant, it is more ideal when it is generally used in the room and used in kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, and entrances. So it can be used simply. For example, when a deodorant is contained in a water tank of a toilet at any time, the artificial plant of the present invention can be directly used in the water tank to appropriately obtain a deodorizing effect. Such an artificial plant of the present invention is considered to be very desirable because of its aesthetic and deodorizing functions. When a flower and / or leaf contains a substance that changes color by a change in pΗ, an acidic and alkaline aqueous solution is transferred to the flower and / or leaf, so that its color can be changed chemically. -16- This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) 1226822 Α7 Β7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (14) Substances that change color due to changes in p Η Acid salt-based indicators, redox indicators, and the like can be used. The salt-based indicator is a collective name for indicators used to know the P Ρ of the solution; the types of general organic pigments are classified into phthalate-based, azo-based, triphenylmethane-based, benzene-based, and nitrate-based indicators. Examples include methyl red, α-naphtholphthalein, phenolphthalein, phenol red, bromothymol blue, and thymolphthalein. Color change For example, thymolphthalein discolors in the range of P Η 8 · 2 to 1 0 · 0; acidic color is colorless, and salt-based color is red. In addition, a universal indicator that displays a variety of colors according to the respective ρ 使用 including a plurality of kinds of P 而 can be used to obtain the artificial plant of the present invention which changes to different colors according to ρ Η 値. The redox indicator is a pigment used to estimate the redox potential. Examples are methylene blue, toluidine blue, phenol saffron red, neutral red, and the like. After its color changes, an aqueous solution of the opposite nature (an aqueous solution that has been changed with an acidic aqueous solution) is contained in the flowers and / or leaves, and it can be returned to its original color by chemical neutralization; Plural changes in color ρ 改变 When the substance that changes color is contained in flowers and leaves, continuous delivery of an aqueous solution of the opposite nature can change multiple different colors. Furthermore, when the inside of the stem and / or branch contains an acidic and / or alkaline substance, the liquid medium such as an aqueous solution that comes into contact with the exposed part of the stem is not acidic or alkaline. Even pure water, when the water is transferred to The flowers and / or leaves are acidic and alkaline, so the color of flowers and / or leaves containing substances that change color can be changed by the above-mentioned change of ρ Η. In addition, the flowers and / or leaves contain changes in color due to changes in different ρ ((please read the notes on the back before filling this page) This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X297 mm) -17 -1226822 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5.

Description of the invention (19) Sequence of changes. In addition, the poor solubility between the liquid medium and the pigment can be adjusted. Even if the water-soluble pigments and oil-based pigments are set at the same position, the solubility of the liquid medium is used. For example, the water-soluble pigments are transferred first to change the color of the petals, and then the oil-based pigments are transferred, so that the next one can be generated. The change. In addition, the fragrance and deodorant can be adjusted in the same manner. For example, the fragrance and deodorant can be adjusted to perform deodorization first, and then generate flavor. The intensity and type of flavor can also be changed over time. For example, the core of the stem of an artificial plant contains multiple pigments (such as water-soluble pigments and oily pigments) that have different solubility in liquid media; a mixture of organic solvent and water (aqueous organic solvent) ), So you can adjust the order of color change of flowers or leaves, the period when the change starts, the appearance of the change, and the color tone. That is, the color change can be adjusted over time. In addition, the cores of a plurality of artificial plants contain pigments having different solubility in liquid media with each other, so that the plurality of artificial plants form a bouquet and are immersed in the aqueous organic solvent, so each artificial plant has a different color. As different periods begin to change, each artificial plant can also have a different appearance and hue. With this configuration, the entire bouquet can be enhanced in aesthetics. However, in the above-mentioned case, an aromatic solvent such as ethanol is used as the water-containing organic solvent, so that the surrounding environment is full of fragrance. In addition, in the present invention, when a pigment is used, it is preferable to use a color migration preventing agent that prevents the transfer of pigment to surrounding objects or people. For example, if the core of the stem contains pigment, use a medium containing a color migration preventive agent as the liquid medium (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

Description of the invention) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The body can be used to fix the liquid medium and its pigments dissolve and expand when blooming / leaves Coloring status. That is, in the process of changing the color or appearance, the artificial plant is taken out of the liquid medium at the desired change stage, so that the artificial plant with the desired color and appearance can be obtained. In this case, since the pigment is fixed, the color does not fade, and contamination of the hands, clothes, walls, etc. caused by the pigment can be prevented. The same effect and effect can be achieved by including a color migration preventing agent in the core of the stem, using a medium containing a pigment as a liquid medium. In the latter case, since the liquid medium does not contain a color migration preventing agent, the color can be changed more freely. In addition, in any case, the color migration preventing agent is sealed in a pouch, and the color can be mixed into the liquid medium after a certain period of time. In this case, after a certain period of change in petals, etc., the pigment can be stabilized in this state. In addition, the same effect can be obtained by removing the artificial plant from the liquid medium after changing the color / appearance to a desired stage without using a color migration preventing agent, and applying a color migration preventing agent using a sprayer or the like. However, by appropriately selecting a pigment and a color migration preventing agent, an unexpected color change can be obtained.

In addition, since the color does not fade, it prevents the staining of hands, clothes, and walls with pigments. Therefore, a film-forming color migration prevention agent can be applied to flowers or leaves. The film-forming color migration preventing agents include cationic surfactants; egg white; soaps such as linoleic acid soap, linolenic acid soap, and conjugated linoleic acid soap; paints such as lacquers and paints; Natural resins such as rosin, dammar, zamba, shellac, etc .; natural oils such as tung oil, linseed oil; natural waxes such as palm wax, white wax, wood wax, dense wax, etc .; paint, oil stains, polyamines Fat paint, transparent paint (transparent is ideal, transparent paint refers to nitrocellulose as the main component, and natural resin, synthetic resin, and plasticizer are added to this cellulose); it is called the synthesis of acrylic emulsion paint One type of emulsion paint (AEP), two types of synthetic emulsion paint called water-based emulsion paint, resins and coatings such as vinyl chloride resin enamel. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In addition, in the present invention, blue dyes and dye liquors can also be formulated in liquid media. The artificial plant changes the color through the dye, and then uses the oxygen in the air to oxidize the dye, so that it can produce and change to blue. These color migration preventing agents are dissolved in the solvent as required and sprayed with a sprayer. In this case, it is possible to prevent color migration by applying a color migration preventing agent to the peripheral portions of the petals and leaves. These color migration preventing agents can also be completely dyed on the petals and leaves that make up; when applied to the surface of petals and leaves, the applied part changes the color, but it can also prevent color migration. Furthermore, by using a coating-forming color migration preventing agent, it is possible to produce desired patterns (pattern patterns, dot patterns), graphics, symbols, characters, or a combination of these on petals or leaves. That is, according to the desired pattern, the paper size is applied to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X29? Mm) 1226822 Printed on the A7 B7 by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. The description of the invention is 2) Sexual color migration preventing agent; the pigment can not be transferred to this part, but can be made into a desired appearance. When using water-repellent or oil-repellent agents, you can obtain unpredictable appearance, but when you predict the desired shape or when you want to get a clear message, it is ideal to use a film-forming color migration prevention agent. In particular, when the liquid medium containing a pigment is an aqueous system, it is preferable to use an oily film-forming color migration preventive agent. In addition, when the liquid medium containing a pigment is oily, use an aqueous film-forming color migration prevention agent. The agent is relatively reasonable. In addition, in order to prevent the migration of pigments that expand into petals or leaves, a color migration prevention member may be provided around the petals or leaves. The color migration prevention member may be provided around the petals or leaves by an electrostatic hair-planting process. Alternatively, the color migration prevention member may be constituted by a ribbon membrane that holds both sides of the periphery of a petal or a leaf. In addition, as mentioned above, even if the material and size of the torus part are adjusted, the speed of change can be adjusted. For example, even if the torus part is liquid-absorptive, such as water-absorbing properties, the liquid medium will evaporate more quickly due to excessive evaporation of water in the torus part when it is too large, and the color medium tends to change earlier. In addition, the appearance of the flower can be adjusted by applying the water-repellent / oil-repellent substance. In addition, the speed of change can be adjusted depending on the application amount. Furthermore, plural kinds of material combinations such as petals can also make the color change speed and the like of each petal different. Furthermore, when the flower part of the artificial plant of the present invention has plural kinds of petals, at least one kind of petals communicate with the liquid-absorbent substance in the core part, and other petals communicate with the liquid-absorbent substance in the core part.

For example, the petals in the center of the flower can communicate with the liquid-absorbent substance in the core of the stem, and the petals in the outer periphery can communicate with the liquid-absorbent substance in the core of the stem. In this case, since the pigment does not reach the petals on the periphery, it does not cause pollution even if it comes into contact with the wall or clothes. In order not to communicate with the liquid-absorbent substance in the core of the stem, the other petals are connected to the stem outer skin (plastic tube, etc.) or the other petals are formed with non-absorbent substance. In an ideal form of the present invention, the pigment used may be a pigment with low light resistance. When light (sunlight, ultraviolet light) is irradiated to a flower part or a leaf part colored with a pigment having low light resistance, the color gradually fades, and finally the flower part or the leaf part becomes the original color. Such artificial plants with faded flowers or leaves can be used again. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pigment used is a combination of a pigment having low light resistance and a pigment having high light resistance. When light (sunlight) is irradiated to a flower part or a leaf part colored with a combination of the two pigments, a pigment having a low light resistance fades, and a pigment having a high light resistance appears in a flower part or a leaf part. For example, when using red No. 102 (higher C · I _ 16255) with higher light fastness and yellow 403-1 (C.I · 10316) with lower light fastness in combination, the flower portion is colored as it was Orange color, but when the sun shines on the flower or leaf, the yellow light resistance 403-1 (Japan C. I · 10316) fades gradually. As the color fades, the color of the flower is slightly reddish, and finally Turns red.
