DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
[0009]
In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is placed on a mat 3 capable of absorbing and discharging steam as shown in FIG. In the preparatory step of placing a transparent cover plate 4 such as glass, heat-resistant glass or heat-resistant transparent resin plate, the mat 3 used in this preparatory step 1 was formed using corrugated cardboard, non-woven fabric, pulp fiber and chemical fiber, A sheet material having flexibility, which is coated or impregnated with a desiccant such as calcium chloride or lithium chloride is used.
[0010]
5 is a heating step in which the iron 6 is applied to the cover plate 4 after the preparation step 1 and the flower 2 under the cover plate 4 is dried as shown in FIG. 3. In this heating step 5, the heat from the iron 6 is Heat is transferred to the cover plate 4, but the heat transferred to the cover plate 4 is transmitted to the entire cover plate 4, and is transmitted to the flower 2 located under the pressure of the lower portion of the cover plate 4 to evaporate and evaporate moisture. The water thus absorbed is absorbed by the mat 3, the flower 2 is pressed and dried in a short time, and the enzymes and pigments of the flower are inactivated and heat denaturation is performed.
[0011]
The flower 2 dried by the above method becomes the pressed leaf 2A, but the heat applied to the flower 2 by the iron 6 is dried by the cover plate 4 so that the whole flower is uniformly heated. As a result, the steam always comes out from the whole of the flower 2 and the air is less oxidized and dried in a clean finish.
[0012]
Different Embodiments of the Invention
Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 to 14 will be described. In the description of the different embodiments of the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.
[0018]
(1) A preparatory process in which a flower to be pressed leaves is placed on a mat capable of absorbing and discharging steam, and a cover plate of glass, heat-resistant glass or heat-resistant transparent resin plate is placed on the mat, and after this preparatory step on the cover plate It consists of a heating process that irons or dries the flowers at the bottom of the pressing plate in a heating furnace or heating chamber, and inactivates the enzymes and pigments of the flowers and heat-denaturates them. Heat from the furnace and heating chamber can be transferred to the flowers to be pressed through the cover plate.
Therefore, since the heat of the iron and the heat of the heating furnace and the heating chamber are transmitted to the flowers after being transmitted to the entire cover plate, there is no uniform and local heat transfer method, so that steam always comes out from the entire flowers. Therefore, oxidation by air is reduced, and the film can be dried uniformly without being discolored.
[0019]
(2) According to the above (1), since the flower is pressed and dried by ironing the flower through the cover plate, it can be ironed while watching the state of the flower.
Therefore, optimal drying can be performed.
[0020]
(3) According to the above (1), the pressure is dried by the heat of the iron, the heating furnace or the heating chamber through the cover plate, so that the flowers are pressed in a flat state and can be dried in a clean shape.
[0021]
(4) According to the above (1), since the heat of the iron, the heating furnace, and the heating chamber are applied through the cover plate, anyone can easily carry out.
[0022]
(5) In the second aspect, the same effects as in the above (1) to (4) can be obtained.
