Description

The invention relates to a transport device for plant containers, in particular for bouquets, with a waterproof receiving element for the plant container. The invention also relates to a set of a plurality of such transport devices.

Plant containers are, for example, bouquets or other arrangements using cut flowers and / or other vegetable, in particular decorative elements. Florists are able to create flower boxes with the help of cut green, branch elements or using additional decorative elements very attractive and often as a gift popular plant container. In addition to cut flowers is to think of the Christmas time while also fir green. The plant containers are often supplemented with colorful ribbons, even with electrically operated light sources or with candles to give the respective plant container a suitable for the specific purpose appearance and ambience.

These plant containers must each still be transported from the place of manufacture, so for example, a business operated by florists or a florist to the recipient.

This is associated with difficulties because the plant containers are to reach the recipient as possible in an undamaged state, but the plant containers are exposed during transport, on the one hand mechanical forces and on the other hand are exposed due to the period of transport natural decay phenomena.

For the latter, for example, it should be taken into account that at least some of the plants in the plant container need a certain amount of moisture even during transport. If this moisture is not or only insufficiently granted, a renewed cut of the individual flowers of a plant container is necessary even after a short transport time.

Likewise, plant containers can easily be due to mechanical forces occurring during transport in a motor vehicle. The transporter is usually a non-versed and the plant containers privately to the recipient transporting buyer of the plant container, which would like to present them as a gift or for decorative purposes.

The plant containers are thus transported by persons who are not familiar with the whole subject of the protection of Pflanzengebindes on the one hand and on the other hand do not want to worry about significant, as they return the plant container after a single transport again.

Since the plant containers often still have dripping wet stems due to the freshness in the florist, many buyers place the plant containers for transport in the footwell or trunk of their motor vehicle from to avoid that the seats of the motor vehicle can get wet or damage in leather seats. Both in the footwell and in the trunk then the plant containers back and forth in the unavoidable acceleration and braking movements of the motor vehicle and reign and encounter other there located objects or the insides of the vehicle. This inevitably causes damage to the plant containers.

This also applies if a carefully working transporter places the plant containers on a soft surface on the front passenger seat, on the one hand to avoid moisture damage and, on the other hand, damage to the plant containers. Also in this case similar problems can occur.

The plant containers can also fall off the seat or be pushed against the inside of a motor vehicle door at cornering accelerations, which can each have a very adverse effect on the state of the plant container shape. Many of these problems have already been noticed in practice and attempts have been made to improve this situation.

Plant containers, especially bouquets are due to their shape in the vast majority of cases during transport laterally with the upper part of the bouquet on a base. This means that damage to the flowers and thus to the areas of a bouquet or plant container that are particularly visible to the observer can frequently occur.

The disadvantages are evident not only for the purchaser of the plant container, who as a gift presents a slightly damaged bunch of flowers and may have to explain this apologetically, but also for the florist who has sold the plant container. He has indeed sold a perfect plant container, which in principle could have a longer shelf life of, for example, 7 or even 14 days, but without the fault of the seller, the plant container is either visibly damaged or at least attacked in its structure, so that the shelf life is reduced accordingly. A Reduced shelf life of a gifted vegetable container has a negative effect on the reputation of the florist or florist, who is not responsible for it at all.

It should also be borne in mind that the shocks to the inside of motor vehicle doors or other boundaries or other objects in the boot or in the footwell need not be immediately visible and remain unnoticed until the handover of the plant container to the recipient. An affected delicate branch of a plant or a bent leaf will wither significantly faster and thus reduce the durability of the entire package.

Likewise, a reduced shelf life of a gifted plant container may arise due to the omission of a new cut of the individual flowers within the plant container. This failure can be due to various reasons such as ignorance, lack of exercise or experience, contact allergy, aversion or lack of time. A reduced by a lack of new crop pruning a shelf life can also be charged to the florist or florist, which are not responsible in this case.

A widely used alternative is to carry out the transport of a plant container not himself, but via a shipping. A customer can select a bouquet of flowers on the basis of a picture or a sample bouquet online or in a florist company visited locally by him. A corresponding order will then be compiled by a florist company at the place of the person to be gifted, where it will of course be properly delivered to the recipient. The transport as such gets thereby a better quality, but has the disadvantage that the donor does not get at a single time the selected bouquet of flowers or the gifted plant container really face and therefore can develop ideas of its quality. This possibility therefore does not represent a real alternative, especially since usually a customer prefers to hand over the plant container to be gifted himself.

In addition, this model also has the disadvantage that a commissioned transport company often does not meet the surprised recipient at home, so that the corresponding plant containers in the form of packages on the doorstep or elsewhere must be stored, which is also in very cold or very hot weather conditions also leads to damage to the plant containers. The risk of multiple deliveries in the absence of the recipient on the other hand leads to high costs of this alternative.

Therefore, in the course of recent years, thoughts have also been increasingly developed as to how a better transport of such plant containers can take place. These proposals work with transport devices for the plant containers, which are provided in many cases waterproof receiving elements.

A simple concept for this are already flexible bags, which are arranged around the stems of Pflanzengebindes and filled with liquid and sealed as waterproof as possible. As a result, at least one moisture supply for the plant container is ensured during transport, but it remains at the risk of damage.

An example of this is a disposable container for transporting cut flowers in particular, which is in the EP 0 966 907 B1 is proposed, which is designed to save space as collapsible bag.

Another bag-like shape with a drawstring is also in the DE 10 2004 063 287 A1 proposed. It goes on even further EP 2 799 365 B1 that wants to completely break away from a solid or collapsible vase and expand the transport options for bouquets or potted plants to fresh wipes.

Bag-like molds basically have the disadvantage that you can not erect bags upright with a recorded in the bag ostrich. This creates a leakage risk for the liquid in the flexible bag. Due to the structure of the binding area of an ostrich with the surrounding bag absolute waterproofness can not be achieved even with very good drawstring systems. This unavoidable risk of leakage even creates the risk, in addition to the conventional concept, that the liquid from the bag can get onto a motor vehicle seat or similar documents and cause stains or other damage there.

In addition, bag-like constructions are also from the DE 20 2011 104 242 U1 and the DE 20 2011 104 243 U1 known. A shopping bag for transporting a single bunch of flowers describes the DE 20 2014 101 060 U1 ,

However, all these concepts are not satisfactory.

Instead of such flexible and / or bag-like storage conditions other arrangements have become known.

For example, in the EP 0 625 117 B1 proposed a storage ratio for cut flowers, which has the form of a bag and is coated on the inside with absorbent material, which forms a liquid storage for the cut flowers.

Another attempt is in the DE 20 2012 005 518 U1 has been proposed, namely as a flower vase for cut flowers, which is different than conventional flower vases in the form of an upwardly tapered body.

Similarly, a collapsible vase from the EP 2 154 077 B1 designed.

Another alternative is in the DE 10 2007 049 895 A1 proposed as collapsible transport vase.

None of the ideas known from the prior art is a completely convincing solution, it remains either at the risk of damage to the plant containers during transport, or there is the risk that there is no sufficient moisture available while transporting the plant container is, or there is the risk that indoor areas of the used for transport motor vehicle such as a footwell or a trunk or the seats are soaked by leaking water or soiled in another form. The occurrence of several of these dangers at the same time can not be ruled out.

The object of the invention is in contrast to propose a transport device for plant containers, which creates the greatest possible avoidance of damage to the transported plant containers, in particular on the way from a florist to a destination about to be gifted, taking into account if possible, the moisture needs of the plant container.

This object is achieved in a generic transport device by means of the invention in that a planar contact surface forming element is provided from a dimensionally stable material which is designed so that it counteracts a tilting movement of the erected on the footprint transport device that from the footprint a upwardly tapered truncated cone member of a dimensionally stable material protrudes, that the truncated cone element terminates in a plane below an imaginary cone tip and in this plane forms a circumferential collar, that the waterproof receiving element is vase-like, and that of the circumferential collar within which of the collar enclosed area extends the waterproof receiving element in the direction of the footprint, but does not protrude beyond them.

With such a concept, a possibility is created, in particular for floristic companies, such as flower shops, that they can offer the customer in order to make the transport of the plant container more pleasant and at the same time better secure the bouquet or the other plant container from damage and dehydration.

It is particularly preferred that the element is a plate element.

With such a plate-like configuration of the element a particularly safe and reliable non-tilting design is possible. In a plate element formed in this way, the footprint is the same size as this plate element.

Alternatively, it would be possible to use as a footprint only the lower circumference of the truncated cone element. The tilting safety could be achieved in such a variant in that, for example, the inclination angle of the truncated cone is made particularly flat. This also allows a certain tilting security can be achieved, but at the expense of a relatively far-reaching truncated cone element.

It is also preferred that in the footprint, so in particular in the plate member, the area below the truncated cone element is kept free, so the plate member or the footprint has a recess.

This has the advantage that several stacked transport devices are stackable.

In this context, it is also preferred if the square contact surface projects beyond the diameter of the truncated cone element to the outside, that is not arranged within the opening diameter of the truncated cone element.

The newly developed transport device, in a preferred embodiment, looks like a symmetrical cone extending upwardly from a plate having a footprint and tapering. The cone is designed as a truncated cone and thus cut off below an imaginary tip. In this truncated cone, starting from the cutting line to the cut-off region, a vase-like receiving element protruding in the direction of the footprint is provided.

Such a cylindrically symmetrical truncated cone shape, which thus corresponds to a truncated cone with a respective circular cross-section, is easier to produce as an embodiment, also requires less material for the production and thus becomes lighter for transport.

Alternatively, it would also be possible to use triangular pyramids, quadrangular pyramids or other polygonal or irregularly shaped mathematically formed truncated cone elements. However, stackability would still be possible with many of these shapes and with such shapes, some attention and advertising value can be gained if so intended.

Each of these embodiments is conceivable each with a plate element or with another element with a corresponding footprint.

The footprint is preferably square. This footprint is greater than the sectional area of the cone in this plane and firmly connected to this, preferably also integrally connected to it. This leads to a high tilting safety of the entire system when it is placed on the footprint.

In Floristikunternehmen the customer is offered this transport device and set up, for example, on a counter. The cone then projects vertically upwards from the preferably square plate element. In the below the imaginary cone tip located preferably circular mouth of the vase-like receiving element then the plant container can be adjusted. It then stands like an actual vase.

For a simplified transport of the transport device with the plant container to the motor vehicle of the customer, a handle is preferably provided on the outside of the conical surface of the truncated cone element. This handle can be made in one piece with the conical surface.

It may be, for example, two handles on opposite sides of the conical surface of the transport device, which are provided by corresponding formations or else in another form. Also, hole-like openings of the conical shell are possible to make the entire transport device better stackable.

In the vase-like receiving element can now be given water. Since the transport device with the plant container and the water is still tip over, the water automatically remains in the receptacle for the plant container and does not run out.

The customer can now take from the counter of the Floristikunternehmens the transport device together with plant containers and filled water and carry to the trunk or the footwell of his motor vehicle and set up there on the footprint of the plate member. During a subsequent journey with the motor vehicle transport device, plant containers and water remain in place, even with speedy driving with many braking and steering movements.

In addition, by using the transport device too much attention focusing on the otherwise free in the vehicle lying around bouquet of flowers, which should have a positive effect on the participation in road traffic: Elimination of a possibly too defensive driving style out of consideration for the bouquet, there remains more attention for the road , the risk of carelessness-related accidents decreases.

At the destination, the plant container can then be removed and transferred without the transport device to be gifted. This can then make it as usual in a vase in his household, without having to recut the individual flowers of the plant container, since the transport of the plant container was carried out quasi-free standing in water standing.

The newly-cropped bouquet of a bouquet is very costly and time-consuming for transferees, especially in larger bouquets, and the recipient has often during an occasion, to which he was considered with a bouquet of flowers, not the opportunity to devote himself to the necessary bleed. If a new cut is made only a long time after handing over a bunch of flowers without swiftly moving into a vase filled with water, the durability of a bouquet of flowers can already be significantly reduced. By eliminating the need for a new cut thus also creates a great advantage.

The now no longer required transport device can then be occasionally returned by the customer in the Floristikunternehmen if, for example, a kind of deposit system is set up for these transport devices. The transport device can then be used again and again by the florist.

Of course, there is also the possibility that a customer acquires the complete transport device for their own purposes and again and again used. Abrasion practically does not occur, which is a great advantage both in a purchase as well as in a use in the context of a deposit system.

A particular advantage given by the transport device according to the invention is also that it reduces contact of the customer with the plant container to be transported. It can be observed that there are more and more contact allergies within the population, which can also occur in comparison to cut flowers or other plant containers. This is promoted by the fact that cut flowers are today a mass-produced and transported product, which already uses pesticides, fungicides and herbicides as well as other chemical substances in production and logistics during rearing.

In a transport of a bouquet of flowers with the transport device according to the invention, however, usually no contact with the thus treated flowers takes place; at least, this requirement of contact is no longer given and can be kept to a minimum.

The same applies to the water used by the florist or specialist shop within the receiving element. This bactericidal materials can be buried for disinfection and the intolerance reactions in contact with the skin are again limited to a minimum.

The most intense skin contact with a possibly pre-treated in many ways bouquet still takes place in a renewed cutting of the individual flowers. The re-cut is in flower bouquets that were not just "standing in water" transported, after a short period of time indispensable. By using the transport device according to the invention this is completely eliminated, thus contact allergies or intolerance reactions are almost impossible.

It is also possible to form the waterproof receiving element in one piece from the same material as the truncated cone element and the plate element, so that all elements of the transport device are produced in one piece in a single mold. This is for the manufacturability, the cost of production and also for the durability and dimensional stability of advantage.

It is also possible, in particular to design the receiving element as a separate element, for example in the form of a removable vase. This would be advantageous for the cleaning of the transport device and could also make it easier to replace only this vase-like receiving element in certain plant containers in order to be able to consider the size better, for example.

The transport device according to the invention also has the advantage that in the motor vehicle, unlike previously, no plant residues or moisture remain. There is no risk that pollute the seats of the motor vehicle, since the transport device can be easily stowed with plant containers in the trunk or in the footwell and does not come into contact with the sensitive top of the vehicle seats

A further embodiment also provides for arranging an insert element in the receiving element. Preferably, this is a disposable waterproof fiberboard of a material similar to a cardboard drinking cup that can be inserted in the receptacle. This once-usable waterproof cardboard is taken out of the receiving element of the transport device then transferred as an actual vase together with the plant container and the water. Such vases can be beautifully designed and presented as a gift. The recipient can either dispose of this cardboard if he still has enough suitable own vases, or he can use at least this disposable version for this plant container in case of a lack of such vases.

Concern that the person to be gifted does not have a suitable vase can be a significant obstacle to the purchase of plant containers, especially cut flowers. These doubts must now no longer be given, since one can provide the recipient with a vase-like product in any case, which the florist's customer can take with the transport device and hand it over to the transferee, together with the plant containers and water.

Especially for inpatient hospital patients bouquets are a popular souvenir. To find a suitable vase then in the hospital on station or to be able to do anyway is more or less a game of chance and connected with some considerable effort. Conventional vases can quickly become unhygienic "hot spots" when not properly or professionally regular cleaning. Due to the increased bacterial load in hospitals in recent years, disposable vases thus have great hygienic advantages and the fact that conventional vases then no longer need to be held up or cleaned in a regular manner eliminates personnel costs.

The truncated cone element is preferably constructed of a symmetrical upwardly tapering cylindrical cone. Basically but it is also possible to provide other forms here.

For the footprint is a square footprint is a preferred feature, as this simplifies the manufacturability and also the placement of unnecessary transport devices, but in principle would also be another form into consideration, as far as the tilting security is given.

The truncated cone element can also be cut off on its upper side differently than with a plane parallel to the contact surface in order to be able to take into account, for example, a preferred direction of the plant container. Such a transport device would then be usable only for this type of plant containers without restriction, but would have advantages for this type.

The receiving element can also be designed differently in order to be able to transport the largest possible number of different plant containers.

It should be noted that different shapes and sizes of bouquets or other plant containers may make the use of different recording elements appear advantageous. For example, narrow and tall bouquets have correspondingly narrower and longer stem areas, while short and broad bouquets have broader and shorter stem areas. Long and tall bouquets may therefore inadvertently tip over in receiving elements for shorter bouquets in embodiments of the invention.

To avoid this, the receiving elements for these bouquets can be made longer from the outset.

This is achieved by the receiving elements protrude for longer and taller or narrower bouquets of the truncated plane of the truncated cone element deeper in the direction of the footprint. The receptacles for shorter and wider bouquets protrude less deeply towards the footprint.

Here very different embodiments are possible, which can take into account the desire and needs of the individual florist or florist.

As a material for the transport device is primarily plastic into consideration. This should be waterproof and dimensionally stable. It is advantageous if it is also unbreakable and / or dyeable and / or resistant to ultraviolet light.

The height of the truncated cone element or the distance between the contact surface of the plate element and the collar of the truncated cone element is preferably on the order of about 30 cm. Even smaller and larger dimensions are conceivable, with distances between 20 cm and 40 cm are primarily considered.

The footprint of the plate member could also be in the range between 20 cm x 20 cm and 40 cm x 40 cm, preferably 30 cm x 30 cm.

The diameter of the collar at the top of the truncated cone element could be about 8 cm to 20 cm, with a diameter of about 13 cm being preferred.

Suitable for these orders of magnitude would be about a receiving element with a depth of about 20 cm and a lower diameter of about 9 cm conceivable. A further preferred embodiment additionally provides on the inside of the receiving element, a coating which provides an immediate or delayed release of a preservative for plant containers, which reacts to the water, in which the plant containers are placed in the receiving element. Such a coating could also be prepared or refreshed by the florist company in each case. Such a coating has the advantage that no additional agents have to be added to the water during transport, which is traditionally given to the customer in the case of cut flower bouquets.

Especially in connection with such embodiments with coatings on the inside of the receiving element, but also independent of this specific embodiment, a concept is proposed in which in the receiving element, an additional insert element is provided. This insert element, in preferred embodiments simply a kind of paper cup, is formed so that it fits cleanly into the receiving element, but there also can be removed. Such a paper cup or other insert element can be provided, for example, with the aforementioned coating, so that the basic structure of the truncated cone element is not influenced, in particular in a one-piece embodiment.

The inner coating of either the receiving element or the insert element also has the advantage that omitted on the side of the recipient of the multi-step effort to tear a small sachet with fresh preservative, touch the plant container and take up and then to give the freshness keeping agent in the vase. From practice, the problem is known that the small bags are sometimes very difficult to handle and open. Likewise, the problem of a possible contact allergy is omitted, since the elimination of this step, the plant container no longer needs to be touched.

Preferably, the transport devices are stackable, so that a set of transport devices is additionally proposed, which consists of several, similar, each having the same cone angle transport devices.

Further preferred features are given in the dependent claims and the description as a preferred embodiment.
