DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] To better clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the invention, the invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are merely used to explain the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0021] In the description of the invention, it should be understood that terms such as central, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, thickness, upper, lower, front, back. left, right, vertical, horizontal, top, bottom, inner, outer, clockwise and anticlockwise are used to indicate directional or positional relations based on the accompanying drawings merely for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the description of the invention, do not indicate or imply that devices or elements referred to must be in a specific direction or be configured and operated in a specific direction, and thus should not be construed as limitations of the invention. In addition, terms such as first and second are merely for the purpose of description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features referred to. Therefore, a feature defined by first or second may explicitly or implicitly indicate the inclusion of one or more said features. In the description of the invention, multiple refers to two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.

[0022] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise expressly stated and defined, terms such as mount, connect and link should be broadly understood. For example, connect may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection or integrated connection; or, mechanical connection or electrical connection; or, direct connection, indirect connection by means of an intermediate medium, or internal connection or interaction between two elements. Those ordinarily skilled in the art can appreciate the specific meanings of these terms in the invention as the case may be.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1-6, this embodiment provides a handmade flower and a flower maker. The handmade flower comprises a rod 1 similar to a flower stalk, a bracket 2 similar to a flower receptacle, a lump 3 similar to a flower bud, and pieces 4 similar to petals, wherein a socket 21 allowing one end of the rod 1 to be inserted therein is formed in one end of the bracket 2, an assembly hole 22 is formed in the other end of the bracket 2, and an eject post 31 and a connecting post 32 are arranged at two ends of the lump 3 respectively. When the handmade flower is specifically assembled, first, one, two or three pieces 4 are selected, wherein the pieces 3 may be in various shapes, including, but not limited to, the shapes shown in FIG. 6; after being selected, the pieces 4 are laid corresponding to the assembly hole 22 and then partially (the middle of the pieces 4) pressed into the assembly hole 22 together with the eject post 31, and the form of pedals is formed after the pieces 4 are pressed; and finally, the bracket 2 is mounted on the rod 1, such that a flower is made.

[0024] Further, to facilitate the insertion of pieces 4 and eject post 31, in this embodiment, bracket 2 is provided with a notch 23 located in the periphery of the assembly hole 22, such that the elasticity of an opening of the assembly hole 22 is improved, and more pieces 4 can be received in the assembly hole 22.

[0025] Further, to improve the stability of the eject post 31 inserted into the assembly hole 22, in this embodiment, a first circular protrusion 33 is arranged at the top end of the eject post 31, a second circular protrusion 24 is arranged in the assembly hole 22, and surfaces of the first circular protrusion 33 and the second circular protrusion 24 are arc surfaces. In this way, after the eject post is inserted into the assembly hole 22, the first circular protrusion 33 will be pressed to move across the second circular protrusion 24 and be limited by the second circular protrusion 24, such that the eject post 31, after being inserted into the assembly hole 22, is unlikely to disengage from the assembly hole 22.

[0026] Further, the handmade flower comprises a base 5 for receiving rod 1, and insertion holes 51, allowing rod 1 to be inserted therein, are formed in the base 5. In this way, every time a flower is made, the flower can be inserted into the base 5. To reduce the space occupied by multiple bases 5 when the bases 5 are not used, in this embodiment, a recess 52 is formed in the bottom of the base 5, and multiple bases 5 can be stacked one by one by means of the recesses 52.

[0027] In this embodiment, to allow flowers to be made more easily, a flower maker is provided. Specifically; the flower maker comprises a pedestal 6, wherein a mount 61 for mounting the bracket 2 is arranged on the pedestal 6, an arm 63 is connected to the pedestal 6 by means of a hinge 62, a sleeve 64 is arranged at a tail end of the arm 63, a press pole 65 is mounted and limited in the sleeve 64, a spring 66 is arranged between the press pole 65 and the sleeve 64, a press cap 67 located outside the sleeve 64 is arranged at one end of the press pole 65, a needle rod 68 is arranged at the other end of the press pole 65, the needle rod 68 is retracted in a lower opening of the sleeve 64 under the action of the spring 66, and when the arm 63 is lifted around the hinge 62, the lower opening of the sleeve 64 is located right above the mount 61. When a flower is made by means of the flower maker, the bracket 2 is placed on the mount 61 with the assembly hole 22 facing upwards; then, suitable pieces 4 are selected and laid on the pedestal 6 (corresponding to the assembly hole 22); after the pieces 4 are placed on the mount 61, the connecting post 32 at one end of the lump 3 is inserted into the lower opening of the sleeve 64, and the connecting post 32 is in tight fit with the lower opening of the sleeve 64 to realize temporary assembly; then, the arm 65 is lifted to allow the eject post 31 in the lump 3 to be located right above the assembly hole 22 and presses against the pieces 4; and finally, the press cap 67 on the arm 63 is pressed to compress the spring 6, at this moment, the needle rod 68 gradually eject the connecting post 32 of the lump 3, then the lump 3 can be held with one hand to allow the eject post 31 of the lump 3 to be inserted into the assembly hole 22, and then, the arm 63 is lifted again, at this moment, because the fastening force between the assembly hole 22 and the eject post 31 is far greater than the fastening force between the sleeve 64 and the eject post 31, an assembled flower can be easily taken down, and then rod 1 is inserted into the bracket 2, such that the flower is made.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely preferred ones of the invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the invention. All equivalent structure or flow transformations made according to the description and drawings or direct or indirect applications to other related technical fields should also fall within the patent protection scope of the invention.
