Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stützvorrichtung zur Abstützung und Zentrierung von in ein Gefäss wie z. B. eine Vase o. ä. eingestellten länglichen Gegenständen, insbesondere Blumengebinden sowie ein mit einer Stützvorrichtung versehenes Gefäss.The invention relates to a support device for support and centering in a vessel such. B. a vase or similar set elongated objects, in particular Flower arrangements as well as one with a support device provided vessel.

Wird ein Blumenstrauss in ein Gefäss, insbesondere eine Blumenvase eingestellt, so ist gewöhnlich die Oeffnung der Vase grösser als der Umfang des Blumenstrausses auf gleicher Höhe. Der Blumenstrauss steht dann nicht aufrecht in der Vase, sondern hängt, an den Rand der Oeffnung gelehnt, in ästhetisch unbefriedigender Weise zur Seite. Diesem bekannten Uebelstand wurde bereits mit verschiedenen Stützvorrichtungen abzuhelfen versucht.Will a bouquet of flowers in a jar, especially one Flower vase set, so is usually the opening of the Vase larger than the size of the bouquet on the same Height. The bouquet is then not upright in the Vase, but hangs, leaning against the edge of the opening, in aesthetically unsatisfactory to the side. This known evils have been dealt with in various ways Trying to help support devices.

Eine bekannte Stützvorrichtung weist eine flache Platte auf, an welcher eine Vielzahl parallel nach oben weisender nagelartiger Fortsätze befestigt ist. Zur Stützung des Blumenstrausses wird sein unteres Ende fest gegen die Platte gedrückt und damit die untersten Abschnitte der Stengel zwischen die Fortsätze gestossen.A known support device has a flat plate, on which a multitude pointing upwards in parallel nail-like extensions is attached. To support the The bouquet will have its lower end firmly against the plate pressed and thus the lowest sections of the stem pushed between the extensions.

Diese Stützvorrichtung hat jedoch eine Anzahl schwerwiegender Nachteile. Die Verbindung mit dem Blumenstrauss ist unsicher, da nur der unterste Teil desselben unmittelbar gestützt wird und sie muss durch eine Verletzung der Stengel erkauft werden. Die Hebelverhältnisse sind vor allem bei einem hohen Strauss äusserst ungünstig. Die Platte muss daher sehr schwer ausgebildet sein, damit sie nicht kippt. Die Stützvorrichtung ist auch unbequem zu installieren und schlecht zu reinigen. However, this support device has a number serious disadvantages. The connection with the Bouquet is unsafe because only the lowest part it is supported directly and it must be supported by a Injury to the stem can be bought. The leverage ratios are extremely unfavorable, especially with a high bouquet. The plate must therefore be very heavy so that it doesn't tip over. The support device is also inconvenient too install and difficult to clean.

Eine weitere bekannte Stützvorrichtung besteht aus einem etwa kugelkalottenförmigen Klumpen aus weichem, porösem Material, in welches die Stengel gestossen werden. Diese Ausführung hat bezüglich der Zuverlässigkeit der Stützung wenigstens die gleichen Nachteile wie die erstgenannte. Ausserdem eignet sie sich kaum zur Stützung gebundener Sträusse, bei denen die Stengel kompakt gebündelt sind.Another known support device consists of a about spherical-spherical lumps made of soft, porous Material into which the stems are pushed. This Execution has regarding the reliability of the support at least the same disadvantages as the former. In addition, it is hardly suitable for supporting bound ones Bouquets in which the stems are bundled compactly.

Auch bei der in DE-U-75 40 130 beschriebenen Stützvorrichtung mit ringförmigen Igelbürsten werden die Blumenstengel beim Einstellen verletzt.Also in the one described in DE-U-75 40 130 Support device with ring-shaped hedgehog brushes Flower stems injured when setting.

Eine gute Stützung verspricht die in DE-C-10 31 66 beschriebene, mit über Federn in Klemmstellung bringbaren Klemmbacken versehene Vorrichtung. Die auffwendige Mechanik steht aber einer einfachen und kostengünstigen Produktion entgegen.A good support promises that in DE-C-10 31 66 described, can be brought into the clamping position by means of springs Clamping device. The elaborate Mechanics, however, are simple and inexpensive Production counter.

Mit einer einfachen Vorrichtung und ohne die Stengel zu verletzen werden Blumen durch die in FR-A-2 626 158 beschriebenen Stützvorrichtung gestützt. Ein spinnennetzartig aufgebautes Gitter weist sich radial gegen ein Zentrum erstreckende Rippen sowie die Rippen miteinander verbindende, jeweils annähernd auf einer Kreislinie angeordnete Verstrebungen auf. Die Rippen weisen gegen das Zentrum hin freie Enden auf, die um das Zentrum herum eine Öffnung begrenzen. Die Blumen werden mit ihren Stengeln in die durch die Rippen und die Verstrebungen gebildeten Maschen sowie durch die Öffnung im Zentrum hindurchgesteckt. Auch hier werden die Stengel der Blumen einzeln abgestützt und der Blumenstrauss muss aufgebunden und neu arrangiert werden. With a simple device and without the stems too flowers are injured by those in FR-A-2 626 158 Support device described. On Spider web-like lattice is radial ribs extending towards a center as well as the ribs interconnecting, each approximately on one Struts arranged in a circular line. Ribs have free ends towards the center, which around the Limit an opening around the center. The flowers will with their stems in the through the ribs and the Struts formed mesh as well as through the opening stuck in the center. Again, the stems the flowers are supported individually and the bouquet must tied up and rearranged.

Hier soll nun die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Unabhängigen Ansprüchen 1 und 6 gekennzeichnet ist, schafft eine Stützvorrichtung, welche geeignet ist, auch verhältnismässig schwere und lange Blumensträusse oder andere in ein Gefäss o. ä. eingestellte Gegenstände zu stützen, so dass sie in der gewünschten Position, d. h. gewöhnlich aufrecht, gehalten werden. Ausserdem schafft die Erfindung ein Gefäss mit einer integrierten Stützvorrichtzung, das zum Einstellen von Blumensträussen u. dgl. sehr gut geeignet ist.The invention is now intended to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in independent claims 1 and 6 creates one Support device which is suitable is also proportionate heavy and long bouquets of flowers or others in a jar or similar items to support, so that they in the desired position, d. H. usually upright, being held. The invention also creates a vessel with an integrated support device that can be adjusted of bouquets u. The like. is very suitable.

Fig. 1a,b zeigen ein rundes, sich nach oben leicht erweiterndes Gefäss 1 vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, mit einem Boden 2 und einer umlaufenden Seitenwand 3, deren oberer Rand 4 eine Oeffnung 5 umgibt. Etwas unterhalb der Oeffnung 5 ist im Gefäss 1 eine Stützvorrichtung 6 auf einem Anschlag 7 abgestützt, der als ringförmig umlaufender simsartiger Vorsprung an der Innenseite der Seitenwand 3 ausgebildet ist. Sie ist durch einen oberhalb des Anschlags 7 umlaufenden Wulst 8 gesichert, der eine elastische Schnappsicherung bildet. Sie ist durch Zug nach oben überwindbar, so dass die Stützvorrichtung 6 aus dem Gefäss 1 entfernt werden kann.Fig. 1a, b show a round, slightly upward expanding vessel 1 preferably made of plastic, with a Bottom 2 and a peripheral side wall 3, the upper Edge 4 surrounds an opening 5. Slightly below the opening 5 is a support device 6 on a stop in the vessel 1 7 supported, the as a circular circumferential ledge-like Projection formed on the inside of the side wall 3 is. It is marked by an above the stop 7 circumferential bead 8 secured, the elastic Snap lock forms. It is by train up can be overcome, so that the support device 6 from the vessel 1 can be removed.

Die Stützvorrichtung 6 umfasst einen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten Aussenring 9, welcher eine nach innen bis in die Nähe einer Zentrierachse 10, die in diesem Falle mit der Achse des Gefässes 1 übereinstimmt, vorstehende elastische Stützstruktur trägt. Sie besteht aus mehreren in den Aussenring 9 eingegossenen, von seiner Innenfläche abstehenden radialen Stützelementen 11, 11', deren freie Enden die Zentrierachse 10 allseitig umgeben. Zwischen zwei der acht längeren, bis nahe an die Zentrierachse 10 vorragenden Stützelemente 11 ist jeweils ein etwas kürzeres Stützelement 11' angeordnet, dessen freies Ende also etwas weiter von der Zentrierachse 10 entfernt ist. Im ganzen ist die Stützstruktur etwa scheibenförmig mit einer Oeffnung im Bereich der Zentrierachse 10. Es ist natürlich möglich, zwischen zwei Stützelementen 11, 11' jeweils ein weiteres, noch kürzeres anzuordnen usf.. Jedes der Stützelemente 11, 11' besteht aus einer Vielzahl im wesentlichen paralleler Borsten, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff.The support device 6 preferably comprises one Plastic-made outer ring 9, which one inside up to the vicinity of a centering axis 10, which in this case coincides with the axis of the vessel 1, above elastic support structure. It consists of several in the outer ring 9 cast from its inner surface protruding radial support elements 11, 11 ', the free Ends surround the centering axis 10 on all sides. Between two the eight longer ones, close to the centering axis 10 protruding support elements 11 is each a little shorter Support element 11 'arranged, the free end of something is further away from the centering axis 10. All in all the support structure is approximately disc-shaped with an opening in the Area of the centering axis 10. It is of course possible between two support elements 11, 11 'each another to arrange even shorter, etc. Each of the support members 11, 11 'consists of a plurality of substantially parallel ones Bristles, preferably made of plastic.

Wird nun z. B. ein Blumenstrauss in das Gefäss 1 eingestellt, so werden die längeren Stützelemente 11 und bei grösserem Durchmesser des Strausses in gereingerem Mass auch die kürzeren Stützelemente 11' nach unten gebogen und legen sich dabei etwas an die Aussenfläche des von den Stengeln gebildeten Bündels an. Die Endbereiche und freien Enden der Stützelemente 11, 11' bilden somit einen Stützbereich grösserer Fläche, welcher den Strauss, ohne die Stengel zu verletzen, sicher im Bereich der Zentrierachse 10 in aufrechter Position festhält. Neigt er sich nach einer Seite, so verstärkt sich, insbesondere durch die Einwirkung der kürzeren Stützelemente 11' die elastische Gegenwirkung und begrenzt die Neigung. Der Blumenstrauss kann auch ohne Schwierigkeiten wieder aus dem Gefäss 1 herausgenommen werden, wobei die Stützvorrichtung 6 dank der Schnappverriegelung an ihrem Platz bleibt. Natürlich kann auch auf eine derartige Verriegelung vezichtet werden, so dass die Stützvorrichtung 6 mit dem Blumenstrauss aus dem Gefäss 1 entfernt wird, worauf sie leicht vom Strauss abgezogen werden kann. In jedem Fall ist sie abnehmbar und leicht zu reinigen.Now z. B. a bouquet of flowers in the vessel 1 set, so the longer support elements 11 and at larger diameter of the bouquet to a lesser extent the shorter support elements 11 'are bent down and placed something on the outer surface of the stem formed bundle. The end areas and free ends of the Support elements 11, 11 'thus form a support area larger area, which the bouquet without the stems closed injure, safely in the area of the centering axis 10 in holds upright position. He leans towards one Side, so intensifies, especially through the action the shorter support elements 11 'the elastic counteraction and limits the slope. The bouquet can also be without Difficulties removed from vessel 1 again be, the support device 6 thanks to the Snap lock stays in place. Of course you can also be dispensed with such a lock, so that the support device 6 with the bouquet from the Vessel 1 is removed, after which it is easily removed from the bouquet can be deducted. In any case, it is removable and easy to clean.

Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Abwandlung weist der Aussenring 9 an seiner Aussenseite einen nach unten weisenden Flansch 12 auf, welcher den Rand 4 der Seitenwand 3 übergreift. Die Seitenwand 3 kann an ihrer Aussenseite eine umlaufende Ausnehmung aufweisen, die den Flansch 12 gerade aufnimmt, so dass dessen Aussenfläche in die der Seitenwand 3 glatt übergeht. Der innere Teil des Aussenringes 9 ist etwas nach unten geneigt. Auch die im übrigen wie bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 1a,b ausgebildeten Stützelemente 11, 11' (letztere nicht dargestellt) weisen etwas nach unten, so dass die Stützstruktur im ganzen etwa trichterförmig ist. Dies erleichtert die Einstellung des Blumenstrausses und verbessert die Stützung insofern, als die Stützelemente 11, 11' sich besser an das von den Stengeln gebildete Bündel anlegen. Der Flansch 12 kann an seiner Innenseite ein Gewinde tragen, das mit einem Gegengewinde an der Aussenseite der Seitenwand 3 eingreift, so dass die Stützvorrichtung 6 sicher, aber lösbar am Gefäss 1 befestigt ist.In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the Outer ring 9 on its outside one down pointing flange 12, which the edge 4 of the side wall 3 overlaps. The side wall 3 can on its outside have a circumferential recess that the flange 12th just records, so that its outer surface in the Side wall 3 merges smoothly. The inner part of the Outer ring 9 is slightly inclined downwards. Even those in remaining trained as in the embodiment of Fig. 1a, b Support elements 11, 11 '(the latter not shown) something down so that the support structure is roughly the whole is funnel-shaped. This facilitates the setting of the Bouquet and improves support in that the support elements 11, 11 'better match that of the Create stems of bundles. The flange 12 can carry a thread on the inside, which with a Mating thread engages on the outside of the side wall 3, so that the support device 6 is secure but detachable on the vessel 1 is attached.

Die Erfindung kann natürlich in vielfacher Weise abgewandelt werden, ohne dass der Grundgedanke verlassen würde. So kann die Stützvorrichtung statt wie dargestellt im Bereich der Oeffnung auch tiefer im Inneren des Gefässes angebracht sein. Sie muss jedoch vom Boden beabstandet sein und ihre Wirkung ist aufgrund der Hebelverhältnisse umso besser, je höher sie angeordnet ist. Ergänzend kann der Boden des Gefässes so ausgebildet sein, dass ein seitliches Verrutschen eines dort abgestützten Blumenstrausses o. dgl. unterbunden oder begrenzt wird. Es ist auch möglich, zwei oder mehr übereinanderliegende Stützvorrichtungen vorzusehen oder eine Stützvorrichtung, die auf mehreren Höhen oder über einen grösseren Höhenbereich wirksam ist. Besonders in diesen Fällen ist eine Abstützung des Strausses am Boden u. U. nicht erforderlich. Er kann allein von der Stützvorrichtung oder den Stützvorrichtungen gehalten werden, so dass seine Höhenlage anpassbar ist.The invention can of course be modified in many ways without leaving the basic idea. So can the support device instead of as shown in the area of Opening also placed deeper inside the vessel his. However, it must be spaced from the ground and hers Effect is the better due to the leverage ratio, ever higher it is placed. In addition, the bottom of the Be designed so that a lateral Slipping of a bouquet of flowers or the like supported there is prevented or limited. It is also possible to have two or to provide more superimposed support devices or a support device that is at several levels or above a larger height range is effective. Especially in In these cases, the ostrich is supported on the ground u. May not be necessary. He can only by the Support device or the support devices held so that its altitude can be adjusted.

Auch die Ausbildung der Stützelemente kann in einem weiten Bereich abgewandelt werden, z. B. können sie als elastische oder elastisch gelagerte radial oder auch schräg gerichtete gerade oder gebogene Zungen ausgebildet sein. Die Verwendung einzelner Stützelemente, insbesondere wie in der beschriebenen Lösung als Bündel von Borsten ausgebildet, ist bezüglich Funktion wie Herstellung besonders günstig. Insbesondere erlaubt sie ausser der sicheren Fixierung gebundener Sträusse auch das Einordnen einzelner Blumen, deren Stengel auch zwischen den Stützelementen fixiert werden könen.The design of the support elements can also vary widely Area can be modified, e.g. B. they can be considered elastic or elastically mounted radially or obliquely straight or curved tongues. The use of individual support elements, especially as in the described solution is formed as a bundle of bristles particularly favorable in terms of function and manufacture. In particular, it allows secure fixation tied bouquets also arranging individual flowers, whose stems are also fixed between the support elements can be.

Schliesslich können Stützvorrichtungen auch so ausgebildet werden, dass sie nicht ausschliesslich oder vorwiegend für den Gebrauch mit einem auf sie abgestimmten Gefäss geeignet sind, sondern auch in anderen Vasen o. dgl. verwendet werden können. Z. B. kann der Aussenring einen etwa radialen durchgehenden Spalt aufweisen, so dass er begrenzt zusammendrückbar und dadurch an verschiedene Innendurchmesser anpassbar ist und sich elastisch festklemmt. Oder er kann zum gleichen Zweck auch an der Aussenseite elastische Elemente aufweisen, beispielsweise können die Borsten so eingegossen sein, dass sie auch über seine Aussenfläche vorstehen. Andererseits können Stützvorrichtungen auch fest in das Gefäss integriert sein, z. B. mit direkt in die Seitenwand eingegossenen Stützelementen.Finally, support devices can also be designed in this way that they are not exclusively or primarily for suitable for use with a suitable container are, but can also be used in other vases or the like can. For example, the outer ring can be approximately radial have continuous gap so that it is limited compressible and thereby to different Inner diameter is customizable and flexible stuck. Or it can also be used for the same purpose Have elastic elements on the outside, for example the bristles can be cast in such a way that they also over protrude its outer surface. On the other hand, you can Support devices can also be firmly integrated into the vessel, e.g. B. with cast directly into the side wall Support elements.
