DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pressed flower decoration for decorating a pressed flower on a wall or the like of a room with a feeling similar to a painting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Preserving a fresh flower in its original form for a long period of time without deteriorating its beauty is a place that has been strongly desired from the past, and various measures have been taken.

[0003] One of the means for preserving flowers for a long time is pressed flowers, which can be kept in their original form by being sufficiently dried. It was an issue.

[0004] In addition, it is desired that such pressed flowers be processed not only in the form of a sheet but in the form of an album, but also be stored in a picture frame and decorated.

[0005] In particular, there is a demand that, for example, a bouquet carried by a bride at a wedding can be preserved as a pressed flower as it is, and that it can be displayed on a frame and used as a wedding memorial.

Various techniques relating to pressed flowers have been proposed in the past, for example, "Method for Preserving Pressed Flowers" disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 6-14240, and "Techniques for Pressed Flowers" disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-54762. Direct production method ”, Tokiko Sho 61-
There is "dried pressed flower and its manufacturing method" disclosed in 55884.

[0007] In the prior art of "Preservation method of pressed flowers" disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-14240, a desiccant or the like is disposed on an aluminum foil, and furthermore, an area smaller than that of the aluminum foil is further provided thereon. Pile the mounts, line the dried flowers on the mounts,
Form the adhesive coated surface on the aluminum foil overhang
This process is characterized by putting a transparent plate glass on the surface to adhere with the adhesive, and squeezing the aluminum foil to evacuate the air inside. It is intended to preserve the pressed flowers without discoloration for a long period of time.

[0008] Further, in the "direct manufacturing method of pressed flowers" disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-54662, a desiccant, a cushion material, a flower, and a transparent plate are laminated in this order from the bottom, and the laminate is sealed in an airtight transparent bag. And the bag is pressed and evacuated to seal it. The "dried pressed flower and its manufacturing method" disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-55884 discloses a polymer similar to the above. It is a configuration in which a gas barrier transparent bag is evacuated and sealed.

[0009]

However, according to the prior art disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-14240, the protruding portion of the aluminum foil must be formed as an adhesive-coated surface on four sides of the mount on which the dried flowers are arranged. The aluminum foil must be relatively large with respect to the mount, which is the original decorative part, and the close contact between the transparent plate glass and the adhesive-coated surface is an irregular shape. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a frame having a width large enough to cover this part.

[0010] Therefore, there is a problem that the size becomes larger as a whole or the whole mount portion becomes smaller.

[0011] Further, in the work of covering the transparent plate glass with the adhesive-coated surface so as to make close contact with the adhesive-applied surface and squeezing the aluminum foil to drive out the internal air, the adhesive always comes out to the backing paper. There is a drawback that the agent stains the beautiful mount and the commercial value is impaired.

At the time of the above-mentioned work, particularly, the leaves of the pressed flowers are often seen as broken pieces and adhered to the mount as garbage, and since the pressed flowers are dry, they cannot be avoided. It is extremely difficult to remove the dust debris if it is put on and adhered to the adhesive applied surface.

The pressed flowers themselves often have a strong souvenir color, for example, as described above, such as a bride's bouquet, so that their handling must be given due consideration to their handling. If this is done, the aluminum foil portion will be broken and recreated, but the adhesion between the transparent sheet glass and the adhesive-coated surface is extremely strong in order to maintain airtightness. The work of removing the aluminum foil adhered to the adhesive together with the adhesive was also extremely troublesome.

Furthermore, in order to maintain the original shape of the pressed flower and preserve it for a long time without discoloration or fading, it is essential to keep it out of the air, and therefore, it is necessary to cover the transparent plate glass with the adhesive-coated surface. In this state, the inside air is pushed out by squeezing the aluminum foil, but the pressed flower is a three-dimensional object no matter how it is dried and flattened. The inside air cannot be completely expelled to the outside by the degree of squeezing, and excessive pressing may even damage the dried pressed flowers.

[0015] For this reason, there is a disadvantage that discoloration of the pressed flower occurs in a short time due to air remaining inside.

Next, the above-mentioned prior art, Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 61
Japanese Patent Publication No. 54762 / published on "Direct manufacturing method of pressed flowers"
1-55884, "Dried pressed flowers and method for producing the same"
Is a configuration in which a transparent bag containing a desiccant, cushioning material, flowers, a transparent plate, etc. is degassed and sealed, so it can be estimated that discoloration of the flowers will be suppressed to some extent. As such, it cannot be stored in a frame or the like and used as a decoration as it is.

In other words, if the transparent bag is degassed, the transparent bag adheres to the transparent plate or the like in a wrinkled state, so that it is unsightly. Can not be.

The present invention has been developed to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, inconveniences, and dissatisfactions of the prior art. It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to evacuate the internal air almost completely. Without discoloring or fading the pressed flowers,
It is an object of the present invention to be able to store it in a picture frame and decorate it as a decoration similar to a painting or the like.

[0019]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a square bag formed integrally with a film having excellent gas barrier properties and having a front end and a rear end having an opening at one circumferential end. , While opening a window in the front of the square bag,
A transparent body that closes the window hole, a bag body tightly adhered to the outer surface of the front part, and a dry pressing flower that is arranged on the backing paper and stored in the bag body so as to face the transparent plate, The bag in which the pressed flowers are stored is suctioned to a substantially vacuum state, the opening is hermetically bonded, and a combination of the bag and the pressed flowers is stored in a frame.

[0020]

[0021]

In the construction described above, the bag body is integrally formed of a film having excellent gas barrier properties, and is formed by a square bag having an opening at one circumferential end on the front and rear sides, so that it is extremely airtight. This airtightness is reliably maintained because the window holes formed in the front part are closed by the transparent plate and are closely adhered to the front part.

Since the bag is formed as a single piece, it is extremely easy to adhere the transparent plate to the front surface of the bag very easily. In some cases, the adhesive may adhere to the transparent plate. Even, it can be easily wiped.

Also, since the dried pressed flower is inserted and stored together with the backing into the bag formed in advance in this way, the storing operation is simple, and if dust is found after storing, it can be easily removed. Alternatively, it is possible to easily change the layout of the pressed flowers with respect to the mount.

After the positions of the dried pressed flower and the backing sheet in the bag body are set, if the air in the bag body is sucked, the front part and the rear face part of the bag body closely adhere to the backing part, and When a substantially vacuum state is attained, and the opening is sealed and bonded in this state, the hermetic seal can be maintained with little air.

Further, by storing the combination of the bag and the pressed flower thus created in a frame,
It can be used as an interior decoration similar to a painting.

[0026] Since the transparent plate closely adhered to the outer surface of the front portion, it is sufficient to align the top transparent plate to the front portion opened a window opening, but becomes high as working efficiency, whereas the adhesive Since the surface will be visible through the transparent plate, it will be necessary to hide this adhesive surface when storing it in a picture frame.

[0027]

[0028]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A pressed flower decoration 1 according to the present invention comprises a sealable bag 2, a dried pressed flower 3 stored in the bag 2, and a combination 4 of the bag 2 and the dried pressed flower 3. And a frame 5 to be fitted and stored.

The square bag forming a part of the bag body 2 is integrally formed by laminating the front part 6 and the rear part 7 in a hollow state with a film having excellent gas barrier properties, forming one peripheral end as an opening 8. A transparent plate 10 is tightly adhered to the front portion 6 in such a manner that a window hole 9 is opened in the front portion 6 and the window hole 9 is closed.

As a film having excellent gas barrier properties,
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, between a polyethylene terephthalate resin sheet a having a thickness of about 1.5 microns and a polypropylene resin sheet b having a thickness of about 4 microns.
A three-layer laminate structure formed with an aluminum layer c deposited to a thickness of about 3 microns is desirable.

However, the film is, of course, not limited to the above-described structure, and a gas barrier property is achieved.
As long as the material is excellent in strength and flexible, it may be in any form such as vinylidene chloride or nylon.

The window hole 9 opened in the front part 6 does not have to be opened after being formed in a square bag shape.
Rather, it would be better for the work efficiency to be established at a preset location in the sheet form.

The transparent plate 10 that closes the window hole 9 has its peripheral surface tightly bonded to the outer surface of the front part 6 via an adhesive. As a result, the formed bag body 2 has a hollow bag shape that is tightly sealed except for the opening portion 8, and the rear surface portion 7 is flexible and can be freely deformed. Can be swelled and the layout of the dried pressed flowers 3 can be finely adjusted after insertion.

The material of the transparent plate 10 is glass,
Acrylic resin or the like is used.

Next, the dried pressed flower 3 is formed by various well-known techniques while keeping its original shape and color as small as possible. A bouquet of a bride is desirable as a souvenir, or a painting-like one. Of course, it is possible.

The mount 11 on which the dried pressed flower 3 is to be placed is formed of paper, cloth, or the like, the color is selected according to the color tone of the pressed flower 3, and the area is slightly smaller than the area of the front part 6 or the rear part 7. Thus, when inserted into the bag body 2 together with the pressed flowers 3, the bag can be stored exactly.

It should be noted that cushion paper, drying
An oxygen absorber or the like may be laid (not shown) to further ensure long-term storage of the pressed flower 3, but in the present invention, the internal air is almost sucked as described later. There is no influence of air on the pressed flower 3, and therefore, in particular, the need for a drying / oxidizing agent will be small.

As described above, the inside air is sucked through the opening 8 in a state where the dried pressed flower 3 is stored in the bag body 2. As the suction device, there are various devices such as a vacuum device for sealing food. They are commercially available and may be used.

These vacuum devices can efficiently and almost completely suck the internal air almost instantaneously,
In addition, the opening 8 is immediately sealed after the suction so that the inside is sealed so that the air does not flow again, so that the vacuum state can be maintained.

Then, the combination 4 of the bag 2 and the dried pressed flower 3 is fitted and stored in the picture frame 5 to complete the pressed flower decorative body 1, which is hung on a wall or the like in a room in the same manner as a picture or the like to decorate. You will enjoy it as a product.

[0041]

The pressed flower decorative body according to the present invention has the above-described structure and operates, so that the inside can be maintained in a completely vacuum state and kept highly airtight.
Pressed flowers can be stored and stored over a long period of time without discoloration or fading while maintaining their original shape.

The work of tightly bonding the transparent plate to the bag is extremely easy, and even if the adhesive adheres to the transparent plate, it can be easily wiped, so that not only the work efficiency is improved, but there is no failure. Therefore, economic efficiency is also improved.

When the dried pressed flower is stored in the bag together with the backing paper, the bag is formed in advance and inserted through the opening, so that the storing operation is easy, the dust can be removed, and the layout of the pressed flower can be changed. Easy to achieve.

Further, since the combination of the bag and the pressed flower is housed in the frame, it can be used as an interior decoration similar to a painting or the like, and has many excellent effects. .
