Description

Plants with patterned layers

The present invention relates to a plant technique in which letters and designs are drawn.

Traditionally, ornamental plants are placed not only indoors and outdoors, but also in various places, providing the eyes of people on the spot and providing healing. Or, if it is a small plant or fruit, it is also used as a gift for various events.

Also, plants themselves produce a certain level of aesthetics, but the following techniques are provided to improve aesthetics or to improve entertainment properties.

For example, in Patent Document 1, using a die cut stencil sheet or the like, a letter or pattern is directly drawn on a leaf or petal with a makeup powder, and a plant on which such a letter or design is drawn is a fresh flower for gifts. The technology is disclosed.

In Patent Document 2, a letter or design drawn with a printing ink such as urethane resin screen ink is processed using a transfer sheet with gold powder or foil, and then the letter is applied to fresh flowers, blizzard flowers, dried flowers, etc. And a technique for transferring a design is disclosed.

However, the above conventional techniques have the following problems. That is, in any of the above techniques, ink is printed or transferred directly onto the leaves of a living plant. For this reason, the surface of the living body is covered with ink, and the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the discharge of oxygen, the uptake of oxygen for breathing and the discharge of carbon dioxide, or the biological activities such as transpiration are inhibited. The problem arises.

In addition, since the ink is in direct contact with the living body surface such as leaves, there is a problem that the living body surface may be damaged.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plant in which a dye is partially infiltrated into something similar to a breathable seal, and is attached to leaves, petals, berries, stems and the like. More specifically, a plant that is attached to any surface of leaves, petals, berries, or stems, has a pattern layer that is almost transparent, breathable, and partially infiltrated with dye in the thickness direction is provided. To do.

Further, the concentration of the dye having penetrated into the pattern layer having the above-described configuration and the surface of the leaf, petal, fruit, or stem near the surface of the pattern layer farthest from the surface of the leaf, petal, or stem is further increased. Also provided is a plant having a relatively low dye concentration.

Also provided is a plant having the above-described configuration, and further having the pattern layer on the surface of any one of the leaves, petals, berries, or stems, and the dye not permeating the end.

Also provided is a plant having the above-described configuration, and further having a breathable adhesion layer for the pattern layer to adhere on the surface of any one of the leaves, petals, berries, or stems.

As described above, in the plant of the present invention, the pattern layer on which the attached letters and designs are printed has air permeability, and the dye is partially penetrated in the thickness direction. It hardly interferes with biological activities such as absorption and emission of carbon dioxide or transpiration.

Also, since the dye does not touch the leaves directly and adheres to the pattern layer, the possibility of damaging the living body surface is low.

Therefore, if the plant is decorated with a design or letters of the present invention, its life can be extended and its beauty can be enjoyed for a long time.

FIG.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The first embodiment will mainly describe claims 1 to 4.

<< Example 1 >>

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an appearance of a plant according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the plant of the present example is provided with characters (0101) such as “congratulations on marriage” and designs (0102) such as “heart mark” on the leaves, petals, stems and the like. ing. Therefore, for example, as a gift for a friend who has been married, it can be a present that is more valuable than a simple plant and can please a friend.

And in the plant of this example, these letters and designs are not drawn directly on the plant surface, but the dye is partially soaked into a thing similar to a breathable seal as described in detail later. It is drawn by making it adhere, It is characterized by the above-mentioned. Therefore, biological activities such as photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration on the surface of a plant that is a living body are not inhibited, and the plant surface is not damaged by ink contact.

Therefore, this plant can be expected to have a lifespan equivalent to that of characters and designs that are not drawn on its surface with dyes and can enjoy its beauty for a long time.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a cross section of a leaf for explaining an example of the configuration of the plant of this example. As shown in this figure, a “pattern layer” (0202) infiltrated with “dye” (0210) is attached to the surface of “leaf” (0201) which is a part of “plant” (0200). Yes.

There are no particular restrictions on the type of plant. It may be not only a land plant but also an underwater plant, and its purpose may be varied such as ornamental, gifting, edible or medicinal.

Also, the means for attaching the surface of the plant such as the leaves to the pattern layer is not particularly limited. However, in consideration of securing the air permeability of the pattern layer and the influence on the plant surface, etc., if an adhesive layer composed of an adhesive or the like is used as an adhesive means, the adhesive layer also has air permeability. An adhesion layer is desirable. In addition, if the adhesive layer is composed of an adhesive, it is desirable that the adhesive is less irritating to the living body.

Further, as other attachment means, for example, the pattern layer may be attached to the plant surface as a silicon material having a self-adsorption function.

This pattern layer (which may include an adhesion layer and other layers) is almost transparent as shown in FIG. 3, and has a predetermined air permeability, for example, by having a plurality of air holes. It is characterized by that. It should be noted that the degree of breathability of the pattern layer is not particularly limited, but it is desirable that the pattern layer has such a degree of breathability as to cause no problems in plant biological activities such as photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. Examples of the material for the pattern layer include polyethylene, polyester, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, ethylene ethyl acrylate resin, ethylene acrylic acid resin, ethylene methacrylic acid resin, and ethylene methyl acrylate resin.

The dye is infiltrated into this pattern layer, which forms letters and designs, but as shown in FIG. 4, the dye infiltration is partially in the thickness direction of the pattern layer. . By comprising in this way, it can prevent that a dye obstruct | occludes the air permeability, for example, blocking many fine holes of a pattern layer. Further, in order to make the penetration partial, the “dye” is preferably a coloring material other than the so-called “pigment” that is uniformly dispersed in the pattern layer. However, if the pigment is partially penetrated in the thickness direction of the pattern layer by a predetermined printing technique or the like, the pigment may be used as a coloring material.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the “dye” (0510A, 0510B) penetrating into this “pattern layer” (0500) is most distant from the leaf surface in the vicinity of the surface of the leaf or the like. The dye concentration may be relatively lower than the surface of the pattern layer. In addition, this is, for example, a permeation distribution in which the concentration in the vicinity of the surface of the pattern layer (layer opposite to the leaf) is 100%, and the concentration gradually decreases as the distance from the surface increases (distribution such as 0510A in FIG. 5). Or a permeation distribution (distribution such as 0510B in FIG. 5) in which the density is substantially the same within a predetermined distance from the vicinity of the surface of the pattern layer, and the density is substantially 0% after the predetermined distance. Also good. And, by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to relatively reduce the amount of dye that touches the leaf even after a long time has passed after the pattern layer is adhered, and damage to the leaf due to contact between the dye and the living leaf is reduced. Occurrence can be prevented.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the “pattern layer” (0600), the “dye” (0610) penetrates into an end (for example, a region 0601 indicated by a broken line) on any surface of the leaf. It may be configured so as not to exist. By setting it as such a structure, it can prevent that a dye oozes out from a pattern layer. Therefore, the beauty of the characters and designs printed with the dye on the pattern layer can be maintained for a long time, and the occurrence of damage due to the dye oozing out and contacting the surface of the leaf or the like can be prevented.

In addition, in the explanation using the above figures, the explanation is given by taking an example of a plant having a pattern layer attached to a leaf, but of course, the pattern layer may be attached to the petals, stems, fruits, or other surfaces of the plant. .

In addition, a pattern layer may be formed at a plurality of locations, not just any one of plant petals, leaves, stems, fruits, and other surfaces. Furthermore, the plant of the present invention is not limited to a plant in a state where petals, leaves, stems, fruits, and roots are united and rooted in soil or water, and the roots are cut for gifts, for example. It may be a combination of petals, leaves, stems, or leaves and fruits alone. Even in the state where the roots are cut and the state of the leaves and the single body in this way, the plant has continued biological activities such as respiration and photosynthesis for a relatively long time, and by making the pattern layer as in the above example, The beauty and freshness can be maintained for a long time without hindering the biological activity.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the structure of the initial pattern layer before being attached to the plant body. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the pattern layer after being attached to the plant body. Hereinafter, an example of a procedure for attaching the pattern layer to the plant will be described with reference to these drawings.

As shown in FIG. 7, the initial “pattern layer” (0700) before being attached to the plant body is, for example, a “transmissive layer” (0701) to be printed first and a “base layer” (0702). And an “adhesion layer” (0703) made of an adhesive member and the like are sequentially laminated.

First, water-soluble “dye ink” (0710) is infiltrated into the transmission layer by printing means such as an ink jet printer, and characters and designs are printed. Subsequently, the protective sheet of the adhesion layer (not shown) is removed to expose the adhesion surface of the adhesion layer, and the pattern layer is affixed to leaves, petals, etc. on the adhesion surface.

Next, when water is supplied to the permeable layer by tracing the permeable layer with a cloth or tissue soaked in water, the water-soluble “dye ink” (0810) is added to the “base layer” as shown in FIG. ”(0802). When the “permeable layer” (0801) is peeled from the base layer, a base layer into which the dye has partially penetrated in the thickness direction and the “adhesion layer” (0803) are used as a pattern layer to form a plant attached to a leaf or the like. It is said that it is done.

The above example is only an example. For example, the dye may be insoluble, or the base layer may be directly printed with a printer without providing the transmission layer, and the dye may partially penetrate in the thickness direction. It may be a simple method.

As described above, the pattern layer on which characters and designs attached to the plant of this example are printed has air permeability and the dye is partially penetrated in the thickness direction. It hardly interferes with biological activities such as absorption and emission of oxygen and carbon dioxide, or transpiration.
