BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for attaching a pressed flower for decoration.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a decorative attachment method for attaching a pressed flower to a decoration object, a method of directly attaching the pressed flower to the decoration object with a resin, an epoxy resin, or the like, and placing the pressed flower on the decoration object There is a method of coating the surface with a hot-melt adhesive film and then heating it with an iron, a heater or the like to melt the hot-melt adhesive film and press-bond the pressed flower to the decorative object.

[0003]

In the conventional method in which pressed flowers are directly attached to the object to be decorated, the organic components emitted from the resin, epoxy resin, etc. give off a bad odor, which is unfavorable for health, and the resin, epoxy There is a problem that air bubbles are mixed in the resin or the like and the finish is liable to be deteriorated and skill is required, and that it takes several hours to dry the resin or the epoxy resin.

In the case of the conventional method using a hot-melt glue film, it is technically difficult to heat uniformly when the area of the hot-melt glue film is large or the surface to which the pressed flower is attached is a curved surface. There is a problem that
The pressed flowers may be crushed by the hot melt glue film, which may impair the three-dimensional effect of the pressed flowers and make the appearance look unnatural.

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ornamental attachment method for a pressed flower, which is capable of easily providing a finished installation state without impairing the three-dimensional or natural feeling of the pressed flower. And

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the method for attaching a pressed flower for decoration according to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, cuts the film or sheet into the shape and size of the area to be decorated, and then cuts the film or sheet. A pressed flower is placed on the pressed flower, and a pressed surface flower is applied to the film or sheet by applying a surface protective agent which becomes transparent when dried, and then dried and solidified, and the pressed flower is carried on the film or sheet. After cutting along the contour of the pressed flower, it is attached to an object to be decorated, and after that, the surface protective agent is applied again over the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower and its peripheral portion, dried and solidified. Characterize.

As described above, in the present invention, the pressed flowers are arranged on the film or sheet, the surface protective agent which becomes transparent when dried is applied, and the pressed flowers are fixed on the film or sheet by drying. , The arrangement of pressed flowers can be easily corrected before applying the surface protective agent,
Further, by fixing with a surface protective agent, it is possible to prevent the arranged pressed flowers from being displaced.

Here, the film or sheet used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the film or sheet has a function of appropriately temporarily fixing pressed flowers arranged thereon.
From this point of view, it is preferable to use a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive film or a film or sheet made of a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that has surface adhesiveness and can easily release pressed flowers.

Further, the film or sheet used in the present invention is not particularly limited in terms of design, particularly in the case of emphasizing the film or sheet or the arrangement of the film or sheet and the pressed flower.
In general, it is preferable that the film or sheet is inconspicuous, and particularly when the object to be decorated is transparent, it is preferable that the film or sheet is inconspicuous. Therefore, from such a viewpoint, the film or sheet used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably transparent, and more preferably colorless and transparent.

Further, from the viewpoint of design that it is preferable that the film or sheet is not conspicuous, it is preferable that the film or sheet is as thin as possible, for example, it is preferable to use a film having a thickness of up to about 140 μm. . As the surface protective agent used in the present invention, it is possible to use an organic solvent type, for example, clear lacquer, varnish, etc., but when a non-organic solvent type is used, it gives off a bad odor during drying. This is advantageous because there is no risk of the organic solvent being emitted, and there is no risk of causing health problems due to this organic solvent.

Furthermore, it is preferable to use a low-viscosity surface-protecting agent. When the pressed flower is carried on the transparent film by the surface-protecting agent, the surface-protecting agent is mixed with the surface-protecting agent and the transparent film and the pressed flower. Almost no air bubbles are mixed in between, and there is no risk of damage to the finish due to air bubbles, and there is no risk of crushing pressed flowers.
There is no fear of impairing the three-dimensional or natural feeling of pressed flowers.

The surface protective agent is most preferably applied by holding a brush with the tip of the surface protective agent in its hand in order to avoid changing the shape and arrangement of delicate pressed flowers as much as possible. It is preferable to apply with an applicator, such as a roll or sponge pad, to the extent that there is no risk of changing the shape and placement of delicate pressed flowers. It is preferable to spray it to the extent that it is not caused.

In the present invention, the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower is attached to the object to be decorated, but the application may be such that the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower is temporarily attached to the object to be decorated, The pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive for sticking the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower onto the object to be decorated is not particularly limited. For example, when the object to be decorated is transparent, a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive or an adhesive is used so as not to impair the design. It is preferable to use an adhesive, and it is particularly preferable to use a colorless and transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive.

In the present invention, when the film or sheet is composed of a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive film or a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet as described above, this film or sheet is not particularly used. It is advantageous that the film or sheet can be attached to the object to be decorated only by the adhesive strength of the above, or the attached film or sheet can be easily peeled off and the position thereof can be corrected and reattached.

Here, in the present invention, after the pressed flower is carried on the film or sheet, the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower is cut along the contour of the pressed flower, if necessary, and then applied to the decorative object. Can be pasted,
In this case, the presence of the film or sheet is hidden by the pressed flowers, and the film or sheet becomes inconspicuous. In particular, when the decoration object is transparent, the edge of the transparent film does not stand out due to the difference in the refractive index of light between the decoration object and the transparent film, and the edge of the transparent film does not stand out.

In the present invention, after a film or sheet carrying a pressed flower is attached to an object to be decorated, the above surface protective agent is applied to the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower and the surrounding part of the object to be decorated. Reapply, dry and solidify. As a result, the film or sheet and the pressed flower are fixed on the surface of the object to be decorated, and are protected by the double-applied surface protective agent.

As the surface protective agent, it is possible to use an organic solvent type one, but when a non-organic solvent type one is used, there is no fear that an organic solvent which gives off a bad odor during drying is emitted. It is also advantageous because there is no risk of health problems caused by this organic solvent. Further, it is preferable to use a low-viscosity surface protective agent, and when the pressed flower is carried on the transparent film by the surface protective agent, the surface protective agent may be used in the surface protective agent or between the surface protective agent and the transparent film or pressed flower. Almost no air bubbles are mixed in, and there is no fear that air bubbles will damage the finish,
There is no risk of the pressed flower being crushed, and there is no risk of impairing the three-dimensional or natural feeling of the pressed flower.

When the surface protection agent is applied twice, the surface protection agent is not particularly limited, but the surface of the application area is masked with a mask in order to prevent the surface protection agent from spreading and adhering to the decoration object. Preferably. The method of forming this mask is not particularly limited, for example, a film or sheet carrying a pressed flower, preferably after cutting the film or sheet along the contour of the pressed flower,
Before sticking to the object to be decorated, or after sticking, a film or sheet carrying a pressed flower is covered with a masking member, and a brush or a film carrying a pressed flower with a writing instrument having a flexible tip such as a felt pen is used. It suffices to draw a shape line along the outline of the sheet and cut the outline of the pressed flower, and it is conceivable to adopt a method of cutting out a film larger than the outline of the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower by, for example, about 1 to 2 mm. .

As the masking member, it is preferable to use one having a property of not impregnating a surface protective agent, and it is conceivable to use a non-porous synthetic resin such as an acrylic film or sheet.

[0020]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the method for attaching a pressed flower for decoration according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a glass cup is used as the decoration object, but the decoration object to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the glass cup, and is made of wood, metal, synthetic resin, etc., as well as other glass products. An object having an arbitrary shape can be the decoration object.

In this embodiment, in order to cut the film or sheet into the shape and size of the area to be decorated, first, as shown in FIG. 1, a paper tape is applied to the portion of the cup 1 to be decorated. Then, the paper mold 2 in the area to be decorated is molded, and then, as shown in FIG. 2, the paper mold 2 is placed on the film 3 and cut into the shape and size of the area in which the film 3 is to be decorated.

The material of the film 3 is not particularly limited,
For example, it is possible to use various synthetic resin films such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and polystyrene, as well as woven cloth, non-woven cloth, paper, and the like. It is preferable to have a function of temporarily fixing, and from this viewpoint, in this embodiment, a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive film having a surface adhesive force and capable of easily peeling pressed flowers is used.

In the case of woven cloth, non-woven cloth, paper, etc., it can be dealt with by forming an adhesive layer. Also, this film 3 is different in design, particularly in a design that emphasizes this film or sheet, or in the case of emphasizing the arrangement of this film or sheet and pressed flowers, but here, the film 3 is not conspicuous. For this purpose, a colorless and transparent one is used.

Further, from the design point of view that the film 3 is preferably inconspicuous, it is preferable that the film 3 be as thin as possible.
The film 3 having a thickness of about 0 μm is used. After this, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the pressed flowers 4 are appropriately dispersed or densely arranged on the cut film 3, and the pressed flowers 4 are lightly pressed so as not to be deformed, and the adhesive force of the film 3 is used. The pressed flower 4 is temporarily fixed to the film 3.

The pressed flowers 4 used here include those obtained by sandwiching flowers between papers and appropriately drying, and those obtained by suitably sandwiching paper leaves, grass leaves, etc. between papers and drying them. In addition to the pressed flowers 4, for example, colored or uncolored paper pieces, synthetic resin pieces, woven cloth pieces, non-woven cloth pieces, wood pieces, metal pieces, etc. may be included in some cases. Then, the pressed flower 4 means a decorative piece necessary for forming a pattern having an arbitrary appearance to be applied in the decorative region, and the pressed flower 4 may be temporarily fixed to the film 3.

After the pressed flower 4 is temporarily fixed to the film, as shown in FIG. 4, it has a low viscosity which becomes transparent when dried over the pressed flower 4 over the entire surface of the film 3 or over a range slightly protruding from the contour of the pressed flower 4. The pressed flower 4 is carried on the film 3 by applying the surface protective agent 5, drying and solidifying. It is preferable that the surface protective agent 5 has low tackiness, and the pressed flower 4 can be removed from the transparent film 3 by the surface protective agent 5.
When it is loaded on the surface of the surface protective agent 5,
Air bubbles are hardly mixed between the transparent film 3 and the pressed flower 4, and there is no fear that the air bubbles may impair the finish, the pressed flower 4 is not crushed, and the three-dimensional or natural feeling of the pressed flower 4 is impaired. I have no fear.

The surface protective agent 5 may be of an organic solvent type, such as clear lacquer or varnish. However, in this embodiment, an organic solvent which gives off a bad odor during drying may be released. In addition, a non-organic solvent type, for example, an emulsion type of an ethylene / vinyl acetate base material, which does not cause a health hazard due to this organic solvent, is used.

The surface protective agent 5 is applied by holding a brush having the tip of the surface protective agent in its hand in order to avoid changing the shape and arrangement of the delicate pressed flowers 4 as much as possible.
Alternatively, a spray method in which spraying is performed so weakly that the shape or arrangement of pressed flowers is not changed is adopted. Thereafter, if necessary, in order to make the film 3 more inconspicuous, the film 3 carrying the pressed flower 4 is cut along the contour of the pressed flower as shown in FIG. Should be hidden so as to overlap the contour of the pressed flower 4.

As shown in FIG. 6, the film 3 on which the pressed flowers 4 are carried and whose contour is cut is temporarily fixed in the predetermined decorative region of the cup 1 by using the adhesive force of the film 3 as shown in FIG. Then, the whole film 3 carrying the pressed flower 4,
The surface protective agent 5 is spread over the surrounding portion of the cup 1.
Is coated again, dried and solidified, but at this time, a mask 6 for masking the periphery of the coating region is formed in order to prevent the surface-retaining agent 5 from spreading outside the coating region and contaminating the cup 1. .

The method of forming the mask 6 is not particularly limited, but, for example, the film 3 carrying the pressed flowers 4 is
Before or after cutting the film or sheet along the contour of the pressed flower, put a mask (masking member) on the film or sheet carrying the pressed flower,
A method of taking a shape line along a substantially contour of a film or sheet carrying a pressed flower with a writing instrument having a flexible tip such as a brush or a felt-tip pen, and cutting it out by, for example, about 1 to 2 mm larger than the contour of the film or sheet carrying a pressed flower. It is also possible to take

However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in order to make it easier to hit the contour of the pressed flower 4, after attaching the cut film 3 to the cup 1, a film or sheet carrying pressed flowers is formed. Place the mask 6 on top,
A method of taking a shape line along a substantially contour of a film or sheet carrying a pressed flower with a writing instrument having a flexible tip such as a brush or a felt-tip pen, and cutting it out by, for example, about 1 to 2 mm larger than the contour of the film or sheet carrying a pressed flower. Is taking.

The mask 6 thus formed is applied to the portion of the cup 1 excluding the pressed flower supporting portion, and is fixed with an adhesive tape 7 as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. The surface protective agent 5 is applied to the whole 3 and its peripheral portion. As a method of applying the surface protective agent 5 here, in order to avoid changing the shape and arrangement of the delicate pressed flowers 4 as much as possible, a method of holding a brush containing the surface protective agent in the hand and applying it, Alternatively, a spray method in which spraying is performed so weakly that the shape or arrangement of pressed flowers is not changed is adopted.

Since the surface protective agent 5 has low adhesiveness, the surface protective agent 5 is used as the pressed flower 4 and the transparent film 3.
When applied from above, since almost no air bubbles are mixed in the surface protective agent 5 or between the surface protective agent 5 and the transparent film 3 and the pressed flower 4, there is no fear that the air bubbles will impair the finish and the pressed flower 4 Is not crushed, and the three-dimensional effect or natural feeling of the pressed flower 4 is not impaired.

Further, since the non-organic solvent type one, for example, the emulsion type of ethylene / vinyl acetate base material is used as the surface protective agent 5, there is no fear of producing a bad odor during drying and causing a health hazard. Then, after the surface protective agent 5 is dried and solidified, the mask 6 and the adhesive tape 7 fixing the mask 6 to the cup 1 are removed, so that a three-dimensional image is formed in a predetermined decorative region of the cup 1 as shown in FIG. It is decorated with the pressed flower 4 which is full of feeling and can be seen from the inside of the cup 1.

Although the film 3 is composed of a non-migrating pressure-sensitive adhesive film in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is possible to use a film 3 which does not have tackiness itself. In this case, If necessary, an adhesive may be applied to the upper surface of the film 3 or a surface protective agent may be applied, and in order to attach the film 3 to the cup 1, an adhesive, an adhesive or the like may be used. It's good.
