Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a method for representing the growth of a fake tree, and its purpose is to replace the branches and leaves of the fake tree with branches and leaves that are in a state of growth appropriate for the season, location, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for expressing the growth of a pseudo-tree and for antibacterial processing.

(Prior Art) Fake trees and artificial flowers are commonly available as decorative artificial plants.

Traditionally, the trunk, branches, and leaves of artificial trees were molded from synthetic resin or metal, but these artificial trees, which were entirely made of artificial materials, looked far from natural trees and had the feeling of being artificial.

Therefore, recently, as shown in Figure 7 (A) (B), artificial trees (
In a), the trunk (b) is made of natural wood.Multiple holes (C) are made in this trunk (b), branches and leaves made of synthetic resin (d) are inserted into the holes (C), and the branches and leaves made of synthetic resin are inserted with adhesive. Fixed artificial trees are available.

This artificial tree (a) has an excellent appearance comparable to that of natural wood, compared to artificial trees made entirely of artificial materials.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, this pseudo tree (a) has branches and leaves (d) as described above.
are fixed to the holes (C) of the trunk (b) with adhesive, so the branches and leaves (d) have the same appearance forever and do not change, so consumers get tired of looking at them after a while. There was a tendency.

In addition, the branches and leaves (d) do not fall and remain the same forever as the trunk (b).
Therefore, if this artificial tree (a) is placed in a room where many people gather, such as a hospital, beauty salon, office, or general living room, for a long time, the branches and leaves (d) will be exposed to dust and moisture in the room. It was unsanitary, as it was easy for pathogens to accumulate.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a removable and corresponding connection section provided on the main trunk and the branches and leaves of a pseudo-tree, which is made of a main trunk made of dried natural wood and branches and leaves made of synthetic resin. All of the above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by a growth expression and antibacterial processing method for a pseudo-tree, which is characterized in that the branches and leaves are manually replaced with branches and leaves in a growth state according to the situation such as the season.

(Function) The main trunk and the branches and leaves of the artificial tree are provided with corresponding connecting parts, and the main trunk and the branches and leaves can be manually attached and detached via this connecting part, so that the branches and leaves can be attached or removed depending on the situation such as the season. can be replaced with one of the desired growth condition.

For example, if the season is spring, branches and leaves with yellow-green leaves and a mixture of shoots and leaves are attached to the main trunk.

If the season is summer, attach branches with larger and dark green leaves to the main stem.

If the season is autumn, attach branches with fewer leaves that are considered green or autumn leaves to the main trunk.

If the season is winter, attach branches with brown or fallen leaves.

Furthermore, depending on the number of years the artificial tree has been installed, the length of the artificial tree can be increased by connecting a plurality of main trunks through connection parts formed at the base end and the tip end of the main trunk.

In addition, if the fake wood is treated with antibacterial agents, etc.,
Even if the artificial trees are layered for a long period of time, pathogenic bacteria will not breed on these artificial trees.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the growth expression and antibacterial treatment method for a pseudo-tree according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a pseudo tree (1) according to the present invention.

In addition, in this invention, the main trunk (3), branches and leaves (4), etc. of the fake tree (1) are treated with an antibacterial agent, such as by being coated with an antibacterial agent. The retention of pathogenic bacteria is prevented.

Examples of antibacterial agents include cationic surfactants (quaternary ammonium, etc.).

This antibacterial treatment is applied not only to the artificial tree (1) itself, but also to the surface of the flower pot (2) as shown in Figure 6, as well as the moss (artificial or natural) and pine trees placed inside the flower pot (2). If it is also applied to the bark q3 of the tree, the antibacterial effect will be perfect.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention provides the main trunk made of dry natural wood and the branches and leaves made of synthetic resin. The feature is that you can manually replace the branches and leaves with branches and leaves that are in a growing state depending on the situation such as the season, so by freely replacing the branches and leaves manually, you can express the type of tree according to your preference and location. It is possible to express the growth state according to the season.

For example, if the season is spring, the leaves will be yellow-green with a mixture of new shoots and leaves, and if the season is summer, the leaves on the branches will be large and dark green. Try to replace it with

Further, if the season is autumn, the leaves on the branches are replaced with green leaves with a small number of leaves or autumn leaves, and if the season is winter, the leaves on the branches are replaced with brown leaves or leaves with fallen leaves on the branches.

In addition, if the artificial tree has been installed for a considerable number of years, it is possible to increase the length of the artificial tree by connecting multiple main trunks through the connecting part formed at the base and tip of the main trunk. I can express myself.

If the artificial tree is treated with antibacterial treatment, if the artificial tree is placed in a place where pathogens are likely to breed, such as in a hospital or business room, even if the leaves accumulate dust or moisture, it will not become a den of pathogens, making it hygienic. It is.
