Definitions
- the invention relates to a vase which is particularly suitable for storing, transporting and keeping fresh cut flowers, in particular of entire bouquets, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Cut flowers are usually given to the customer by the florist in flower shops, either wrapped in paper without any moisturizer, or the stems are often wrapped with a water-soaked cotton ball or small sponge.
- Another known type of fresh-keeping transport consists of small containers which cannot be closed watertight on the stem and therefore like to leak out. At the same time, there is a risk that the edge of these containers will damage the flower stems.
- the object of the invention is to provide a transport vase for cut flowers and the like, which stores nutrient liquid and delivers it to flowers as required, without the nutrient liquid running out, regardless of the position.
- the location independence is important, as bouquets often with the Flowers are carried down and the stems up.
- An additional advantage of the invention is that the proposed transport vase requires a minimum of volume and weight when not in use. These transport vases can even be carried unused in a pocket and, if necessary, filled with water on the spot or soaked in order to fulfill the function. The manufacture of this type of transport vase is possible in all sizes and colors and is extremely inexpensive.
- An additional advantage of the invention is that the outside of the transport vase does not become damp or wet and therefore does not dissolve. At the same time, it offers excellent protection for the flower stems against pressure and heat, and conversely, the skin and hands do not get wet, and direct contact with plant stems is avoided. For example, this can prevent allergic skin reactions caused by certain plants.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the transport vase according to the invention in a perspective view
- Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the transport vase
- Figure 3 shows a transport vase in cross section.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the transport vase according to the invention in a perspective view.
- a flexible container consists of a waterproof cover 1, which is coated on the inside 2 with a layer of absorbent material 3, preferably made of cellulose, like cotton wool.
- This absorbent material 3 serves as a nutrient storage. It is only soaked with the nutrient liquid before the actual use.
- the waterproof cover 1 is not coated with absorbent material 3, but is pre-folded in a fan shape 5, 5 ', 5''. This facilitates the setting of flowers, since there is a larger opening.
- the casing 1 is folded into the folds in the part 4 which is now coated, so that the flowers around the stems can be better grasped.
- the nutrient liquid is only in the absorbent material 3, from where it is released to the flower stems as required.
- the absorbent material 3 can absorb and store a multiple of its own weight in nutrient liquid. Due to the nature of the absorbent material 3, as is known, for example, from diapers, the nutrient liquid is retained leak-proof.
- a known wetness indicator 7 is arranged and enables the liquid storage to be checked optically from the outside.
- the transport vase consists of two, in principle trapezoidal, inside fleece-coated parts of the waterproof cover, which are welded or glued on the sides and below like a coffee filter.
- FIG. 2 Another embodiment of the transport vase is shown in Figure 2.
- the transport vase is in the form of a cover or bag open on one side with an approximately rectangular shape when not in use.
- Pockets 8 are attached on the front and possibly on the back.
- the pockets 8 are made of the same film as the sheath itself, but can also be made of other thin, wrinkled material. They serve on the one hand for inserting small bags of known freshness-keeping agents for cut flowers, on the other hand for inserting greeting or business cards, and their dimensions are matched to them.
- the transport vase can be designed in color and, for example, the pockets 8 can be printed with advertisements.
- a transport vase according to the invention is shown in cross-section in the open state.
- the water-impermeable envelope 1 forms a U. which is open at the top, the envelope material being pulled around the upper ends of the transport vase as an envelope 13 and being pulled down to a certain extent on the inside. It thus partially encompasses the absorbent material 3 in this area and forms a type of inverted channel which is open at the bottom. When holding a bouquet of flowers in the transport vase, this channel prevents the water from escaping.
- a layer of absorbent material 3 is inserted into the pocket-shaped, waterproof cover 1.
- Cellulose for example in the form of cotton wool, foam, sponge-like material and the like, is particularly suitable as the absorbent material.
- Absorbent material 3 thanks to its inner Has properties in itself a capillary effect, the liquid distribution additionally promotes.
- the layer of absorbent material is covered by a porous or perforated film 11.
- This porous film 11 can be made of plastic with small holes. However, a nonwoven in the manner of a geotextile or a fine fabric is also suitable.
- the porous film 11 is firmly connected at the upper edge to the edge of the waterproof cover on the inside of the envelope 13 by gluing or welding 12.
- Water filled into the transport vase is distributed in the absorbent material 3 and can shift within this material to a limited extent.
- the absorbent material 3 When a bouquet of flowers is held upside down in the transport vase, the water has the tendency to shift downward. However, it is held back by the waterproof cover in the envelope and prevented from being eaten out.
- an appropriate absorbent material 3 such as a foam, the porous film 11 can be omitted.
- the sleeve 1 is preferably made of a non-slip and tear-resistant and biodegradable material.
- the absorbent material 3 and the porous film should, if possible, be made from biodegradable material so that the transport vase can be reused and / or recycled.
