Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la présentation et le transport de plantes, arbustes ou analogue. Elle s'applique en particulier, mais non exclusivement, aux bouquets de fleurs classiques vendus chez le fleuriste.The present invention relates to a device for the presentation and transport of plants, shrubs or the like. It applies in particular, but not exclusively, to classic bouquets of flowers sold at the florist shop.

L'art antérieur connaít par la demande de brevet français N°FR 2644338 une structure pour stabiliser un pot de fleur ou le suspendre. Cette structure comprend un piétement fait de quatre tiges croisées. Une tige servant de tuteur est soudée au centre du piétement et grâce à un trou pratiqué à l'extrémité de cette tige, cette dernière peut être suspendue à un crochet.The prior art knows by the request of French patent N ° FR 2644338 a structure to stabilize or hang a flower pot. This structure includes a base made of four crossed rods. A rod serving as a tutor is welded to the center of the base and thanks to a hole made at the end of this rod, this the latter can be hung on a hook.

Cette structure peut constituer une solution pour accrocher ou suspendre un pot de fleurs, mais ne peut pas être utilisé pour permettre le transport d'un bouquet qui ne comporte pas de pot. Par ailleurs, cette solution n'est pas satisfaisante si l'on souhaite présenter un bouquet de fleurs, ou analogue, car il ne dispose d'aucun moyen pour maintenir ledit bouquet.This structure can be a solution to hang or hang a flowerpot, but cannot not be used to transport a bouquet which does not have a pot. Furthermore, this solution is not satisfactory if one wishes to present a bouquet of flowers, or the like, because it has no means for maintaining said bouquet.

On connaít également la demande de brevet N°WO 9203039 qui décrit un récipient pour plante se présentant sous la forme d'un pot pour plante comportant une partie inférieure dotée d'un orifice central et de plusieurs orifices d'écoulement d'eau, ladite partie inférieure pouvant être reçue dans un plateau à pot circulaire présentant un montant tubulaire central s'étendant vers le haut à travers l'orifice central de la partie inférieure du pot. Une corde suspendue au-dessus passe dans le montant tubulaire centrale et un dispositif d'arrêt du pot à position réglable comportant une vis de blocage de position permettent de positionner le pot de plante sur la corde suspendue.We also know the patent application WO 9203039 which describes a container for a plant in the form of a plant pot comprising a lower part with a central opening and several water flow orifices, said part lower can be received in a pot tray circular with a central tubular upright extending upward through the central orifice of the lower part of the pot. A rope hanging above goes into the central tubular upright and a device stop of the pot with adjustable position comprising a screw position locks allow the pot to be positioned plant on the hanging rope.

À nouveau, ce document propose une solution pour suspendre un pot pour plantes, mais ne peut en aucun cas constituer une solution à la fois pour la présentation d'un bouquet de plantes, c'est-à-dire comportant des moyens pour maintenir le bouquet sensiblement à la verticale et affichant des renseignements sur le prix, la provenance etc..., et également servir pour le transport dudit bouquet.Again, this document suggests a solution to hang a plant pot, but cannot case constitute a solution for both the presentation a bouquet of plants, that is to say comprising means to keep the bouquet substantially vertical and displaying information on price, provenance etc ..., and also serve for the transport of said bouquet.

L'invention a donc pour but de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur. Elle propose à cet effet un dispositif pour la présentation et le transport de plantes, arbustes, bouquets de fleurs ou analogue, comportant une base, un élément de soutien dudit bouquet fixé par l'une de ses extrémités à la susdite base, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre une tige de présentation/transport venant se fixer de manière amovible à une extrémité de l'élément de soutien ; l'autre extrémité de la tige de présentation/transport disposant d'un moyen de préhension.The object of the invention is therefore to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art. To this end, it offers a device for the presentation and transport of plants, shrubs, bouquets of flowers or the like, comprising a base, a support element for said bouquet fixed by one of its ends to the above-mentioned base, characterized in that it further comprises a rod presentation / transport coming to be fixed in a removable way at one end of the support member; the other extremity of the presentation / transport rod having a means gripping.

De préférence, le moyen de préhension sera indépendant de la tige de présentation/transport et est fixé à cette dernière, par exemple par vissage. Le moyen de préhension comprendra un moyen d'affichage, tels qu'une affichette.Preferably, the gripping means will be independent of the presentation / transport rod and is fixed to the latter, for example by screwing. Way to gripping will include display means, such as a poster.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, la base pourra consister en une simple tige présentant une forme en T ou en une boule, pleine ou non. According to an embodiment of the invention, the base may consist of a simple rod having a T-shaped or in a ball, full or not.

Le moyen de préhension pourra comprendre un logement obturable, par exemple pour placer un bijou ou n'importe quel autre objet susceptible de constituer un cadeau.The gripping means may include a closable housing, for example to place a jewel or any other object likely to constitute a gift.

Avantageusement, la susdite base comprendra au moins une ventouse, fixée sur la face inférieure de ladite base, apte à fixer ladite base sur un support.Advantageously, the above-mentioned base will include at minus a suction cup, fixed on the underside of said base, suitable for fixing said base on a support.

De la même manière, le moyen de préhension pourra consister en une poignée, présentant éventuellement une forme adaptée à la saisie d'une main humaine.In the same way, the gripping means may consist of a handle, possibly having a shape suitable for gripping a human hand.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, les éléments constituant le dispositif selon l'invention, à savoir la base, l'élément de soutien, la tige de présentation/transport et éventuellement le moyen de préhension, seront par exemple fixés les uns aux autres par vissage ou filetage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the elements constituting the device according to the invention, to know the base, the support element, the rod presentation / transport and possibly the means of gripping, for example will be fixed to each other by screwing or threading.

Avantageusement, le dispositif selon l'invention comprendra un film plastifié étanche apte à contenir la susdite base et au moins une partie de l'élément de soutien ; ledit film formant alors un réservoir ou un contenant comportant l'extrémité inférieure du susdit bouquet. Ainsi, le réservoir ou contenant pourra comprendre un liquide, tels que de l'eau, ou une solution pour alimenter le susdit bouquet.Advantageously, the device according to the invention will include a waterproof plastic film suitable for contain the above-mentioned base and at least part of the support element; said film then forming a tank or container with the lower end of the above bouquet. Thus, the tank or container can include a liquid, such as water, or a solution to feed the above bouquet.

Selon une possibilité offerte par l'invention, le film plastifié étanche comprendra sur au moins une partie de sa bordure périphérique un fil, ou analogue, apte à obturer le réservoir ou contenant formé par ledit film. According to a possibility offered by the invention, the waterproof plastic film will include on at least one part of its peripheral border a wire, or the like, suitable closing the reservoir or container formed by said film.

Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, le moyen de préhension pourra consister en un crochet permettant notamment de suspendre ledit dispositif.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the gripping means may consist of a hook allowing in particular to suspend said device.

Grâce à ces particularités, l'invention permet la suspension de l'ensemble comprenant le dispositif, la fixation d'éléments d'information sur la tige de présentation/transport et/ou sur le moyen de préhension, ainsi que la présentation des bouquets à préparer généralement réunis dans des seaux chez le fleuriste, autorisant une prise en main sans abímer le bouquet en question ainsi que les bouquets voisins.Thanks to these features, the invention allows the suspension of the assembly comprising the device, the fixation of information elements on the rod presentation / transport and / or on the gripping means, as well as the presentation of the bouquets to be prepared usually gathered in buckets at the florist, authorizing a grip without damaging the bouquet in question as well as the neighboring bouquets.

L'invention permet également le transport des bouquets construits ou des plantes sans abímer la forme de l'emballage et conserver ainsi une présentation correcte lors de son déplacement. Le dispositif de l'invention peut aussi servir de présentoir pour isoler un bouquet, ou analogue, et le maintenir verticalement sans vase, simplement en reposant sur sa base.The invention also allows the transport of built bouquets or plants without damaging the shape of the packaging and thus keep a correct presentation while moving. The device of the invention can also serve as a display to isolate a bouquet, or analogous, and keep it vertically without vase, simply by resting on its base.

Dans le cas où le dispositif de présentation/transport est combiné avec un sac étanche rempli d'eau enfermant les tiges, il permet le contact de ces tiges avec l'eau ; le bouquet se trouvant alors dans un réservoir étanche stabilisé par sa base.In the event that the presentation / transport is combined with a waterproof bag filled with water enclosing the rods, it allows the contact of these stems with water; the bouquet then being in a waterproof tank stabilized by its base.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description, faite ci-après à titre purement explicatif, d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, en référence aux figures annexées :

  • la figure 1 illustre une vue en coupe du dispositif pour la présentation et le transport selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 illustre une vue schématique des différents éléments constituant le dispositif de l'invention ;
  • la figure 3 illustre une vue en coupe d'un dispositif selon l'invention avec un bouquet de fleurs, équipé d'un sac étanche.
The invention will be better understood using the description, given below for purely explanatory purposes, of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended figures:
  • Figure 1 illustrates a sectional view of the device for presentation and transport according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 illustrates a schematic view of the various elements constituting the device of the invention;
  • Figure 3 illustrates a sectional view of a device according to the invention with a bouquet of flowers, equipped with a waterproof bag.

Comme cela est visible sur les figures 1 et 2, le dispositif pour la présentation et le transport 1 de bouquets, ou analogue, comprend plusieurs éléments dissociables aptes à se fixer les uns aux autres. Ces différents éléments consistent en une base 2, un élément de soutien 3, une tige de présentation/transport 4 et un moyen de préhension 5.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the device for presentation and transport 1 of bouquets, or the like, includes several elements separable able to attach to each other. These different elements consist of a base 2, an element of support 3, a presentation / transport rod 4 and a means gripping 5.

Selon une possibilité offerte par l'invention, non représenté sur les figures annexées, la base 2 pourra consister en une simple tige présentant une forme en T ou en une boule, pleine ou non. Cette base pourra alors être introduite, partiellement ou en totalité, dans la partie basse du bouquet, légèrement en dessous du lien de serrage, consistant une corde destinée à lier les plantes entre elles. De manière pratique, la tige en T, introduite dans le bouquet, permet lorsqu'elle est coincée dans les tiges inférieures de dévisser ou de déclipser la partie supérieure, c'est-à-dire la tige de présentation/transport 4, sans que l'ensemble ne tourne dans le vide. According to a possibility offered by the invention, not shown in the appended figures, the base 2 may consist of a simple rod having a T shape or in a ball, full or not. This base can then be introduced, partially or entirely, in the part bottom of the bouquet, slightly below the drawstring, consisting of a rope intended to bind the plants between they. In practical terms, the T-shaped rod, introduced into the bouquet allows when it is stuck in the stems lower to unscrew or unclip the part upper, i.e. the presentation / transport rod 4, without the assembly rotating in a vacuum.

Cette tige en forme de T ou de boule servira alors d'élément solidaire à la tige de présentation/transport 4 ; la fixation entre la tige de présentation 4 et la base 2 en T ou en boule pourra être réalisé de manière définitive, par exemple par collage ou soudage, ou pourra consister en une fixation amovible, par exemple par clipsage ou par vissage de l'extrémité inférieure filetée de la tige 4 dans un logement, également fileté, de la base 2 en T ou en boule.This T-shaped rod or ball will serve then of element integral with the rod of presentation / transport 4; fixing between the rod presentation 4 and the base 2 in T or in ball could be made definitively, for example by gluing or welding, or may consist of a removable fixing, by example by clipping or screwing the end lower threaded rod 4 in a housing, also threaded, from base 2 to T or ball.

Bien entendu, dans ce mode de réalisation de la base du dispositif selon l'invention, la tige en T ou en boule servira uniquement au transport du bouquet de plantes et non plus au maintien de celui-ci en position verticale. En effet, lorsque la base aura une fonction de support du dispositif comportant éventuellement un bouquet, la base 2 présentera une forme sensiblement plate ou plane de manière à pouvoir reposer sur un plan horizontal.Of course, in this embodiment of the base of the device according to the invention, the T-shaped rod or ball will only be used to transport the bouquet of plants and no longer maintaining it in a vertical position. In fact, when the base has a support function for the device possibly including a bouquet, base 2 will have a substantially flat or planar shape so to be able to rest on a horizontal plane.

La base 2 en T ou en boule servira à ce que la tige de présentation/transport 4 transperçant le bouquet soit maintenu en partie inférieure dudit bouquet, du fait de sa forme géométrique particulière. La base 2 en T ou en boule aura pour fonction notamment de maintenir le bouquet puisque ladite base 2 sera bloquée au niveau de l'endroit de serrage du bouquet par une corde destinée à lier les plantes ou les fleurs entre elles.The base 2 in T or in ball will be used so that the presentation / transport rod 4 piercing the bouquet is kept in the lower part of said bouquet, due of its particular geometric shape. Base 2 in T or in the function of the ball will be to maintain the bouquet since said base 2 will be blocked at the location tightening the bouquet with a rope intended to tie the plants or flowers between them.

Par ailleurs, selon un autre mode de réalisation de la base 2 non représenté sur les figures annexées, la base 2 comprendra une pluralité de trous ou logements excentrés de sorte que la tige de présentation/transport 4 puisse se fixer, de manière amovible, indifféremment dans l'un de ces trous. Ainsi, la base 2 présentera un trou ou logement central ainsi qu'une pluralité de trous ou logements excentrés, ces trous étant tous destinés à accueillir la partie inférieure de la tige de présentation/transport 4.Furthermore, according to another mode of realization of the base 2 not shown in the figures attached, the base 2 will include a plurality of holes or eccentric housings so that the rod of presentation / transport 4 can be fixed, so removable, indifferently in one of these holes. So the base 2 will have a central hole or housing as well as a plurality of eccentric holes or housings, these holes being all intended to accommodate the lower part of the rod presentation / transport 4.

Ce mode de réalisation de la base 2 est particulièrement adapté lorsque le dispositif selon l'invention est utilisé pour le transport et/ou la présentation d'un pot de plantes ou analogues comportant sur sa face inférieure une pluralité de trous destinés à laisser évacuer l'eau en excès dans le pot. Ainsi, lorsque la base 2 présente une pluralité de trous, la tige de présentation/transport 4 pourra être enfoncée à travers le pot, éventuellement la terre ou autre présente dans le pot, et ressortir par l'un des trous, généralement circulaire, présent sur la face inférieure dudit pot ; la base 2 étant, bien entendu disposée à l'extérieur du pot, en dessous de ce dernier.This embodiment of base 2 is particularly suitable when the device according to the invention is used for transport and / or presentation of a pot of plants or the like comprising on its underside a plurality of holes intended for allow excess water to drain into the pot. So when base 2 has a plurality of holes, the rod presentation / transport 4 can be inserted through the pot, possibly the earth or other present in the pot, and come out through one of the holes, generally circular, present on the underside of said pot; base 2 being, of course arranged outside the pot, below this last.

Dans le mode de réalisation choisi pour illustrer l'invention, le dispositif 1 de l'invention comprend une base plane 2. Dans l'exemple choisi pour illustrer l'invention, cette base 2 est carrée, mais on pourra tout à fait la réaliser circulaire, ovale ou en forme de croix. La base 2 est sensiblement plate de sorte qu'elle peut reposer de façon stable sur un support également plat. Cette base 2 comporte un orifice circulaire 6, éventuellement fileté, pour l'insertion de l'une des extrémités de l'élément de soutien 3. Cette base 2 pourra être recourbée de quelques millimètres à quelques centimètres à ses extrémités. In the embodiment chosen for illustrate the invention, the device 1 of the invention includes a flat base 2. In the example chosen for illustrate the invention, this base 2 is square, but we can make it circular, oval or cross shape. The base 2 is substantially flat so that it can rest stably on a support also flat. This base 2 has a circular orifice 6, possibly threaded, for the insertion of one of the ends of the support element 3. This base 2 may be bent from a few millimeters to a few centimeters at its ends.

L'élément de soutien consiste dans l'exemple choisi pour illustrer l'invention en une tige tubulaire présentant au moins un filetage à l'une de ses extrémités de sorte que cette extrémité 7 peut être introduite et fixée dans un filetage complémentaire. L'extrémité filetée 7, correspondant à l'extrémité supérieure de ladite tige 3, présente une pointe ou biseau de manière à pouvoir être introduite efficacement dans le bouquet 8. L'autre extrémité 9, pouvant être éventuellement filetée, sera introduite, ou fixée par filetage, dans l'orifice 6 de la base 2. Ainsi, l'élément de soutien 3 est solidaire de la base 2 par vissage, collage, ou tout autre moyen d'assemblage.The supporting element consists in the example chosen to illustrate the invention in a tubular rod having at least one thread at one of its ends so that this end 7 can be introduced and fixed in an additional thread. The threaded end 7, corresponding to the upper end of said rod 3, has a point or bevel so that it can be effectively introduced into bouquet 8. The other end 9, which can possibly be threaded, will introduced, or fixed by thread, in hole 6 of the base 2. Thus, the support element 3 is integral with the base 2 by screwing, gluing, or any other means assembly.

Ainsi, une fois un bouquet 8 réalisé, c'est-à-dire que les fleurs forment un ensemble lié fortement par une ficelle, ou analogue, ce dernier est simplement enfoncé sur l'élément de soutien 3 de sorte que le bouquet 8 tient sans autre artifice.Thus, once a bouquet 8 has been produced, that is to say that the flowers form a whole strongly linked by a string, or the like, the latter is simply pressed on the support element 3 so that the bouquet 8 holds without any other device.

La tige de présentation/transport 4 se présente sous la forme d'un tube de longueur variable, éventuellement muni d'un moyen d'agrandissement/réduction de la longueur de ladite tige 4. De la même manière que précédemment, cette tige présentation/transport 4 pourra être fixée à l'élément de soutien 3 par différents moyens, en l'occurrence dans le présent exemple, par vissage d'une partie filetée de l'extrémité inférieure de la tige 4 sur l'extrémité supérieure filetée 7 de l'élément de soutien 3. Bien entendu, on pourra également envisager cette fixation par d'autres moyens, par exemple par collage ou clouage.The presentation / transport rod 4 presents itself in the form of a tube of variable length, possibly fitted with a means of enlargement / reduction the length of said rod 4. In the same way as previously, this presentation / transport rod 4 may be fixed to the support element 3 by different means, in this case in the present example, by screwing a threaded part of the lower end of the rod 4 on the threaded upper end 7 of the support element 3. Of course, we can also consider this fixation by other means, for example by gluing or nailing.

Selon une première variante de réalisation, l'extrémité supérieure de la tige 4 comprend un moyen de préhension 5 consistant en une poignée 10. Ce moyen de préhension 5 comporte également un moyen d'affichage 11, tels qu'une affichette. Ce moyen d'affichage 11 permet d'indiquer par exemple le prix, éventuellement sous forme de code barre, la provenance des plantes ou d'autres informations accessoires telles qu'une affichette de voeux ou une publicité.According to a first alternative embodiment, the upper end of the rod 4 comprises a means of grip 5 consisting of a handle 10. This means of gripping 5 also includes a display means 11, such as a placard. This display means 11 allows indicate for example the price, possibly in the form barcode, provenance of plants or others accessory information such as a greeting poster or an advertisement.

Le moyen d'affichage 11 pourra également consister en un logement comportant un moyen d'écoute et éventuellement d'enregistrement d'un message sonore, préenregistré sur un support audio de type puce électronique, à l'identique des cartes de voeux sonores. Bien entendu, l'activation de ce message sonore pourra être rendue possible par exemple par simple pression d'une partie du moyen d'affichage 11. Ce logement pourra également comprendre un dispositif odorant apte à délivrer une odeur spécifique, par exemple en relation avec le bouquet de plantes.The display means 11 may also consist of accommodation with listening facilities and possibly recording an audio message, prerecorded on a chip-type audio medium electronic, identical to sound greeting cards. Of course, the activation of this audible message can be made possible for example by simply pressing a part of the display means 11. This housing may also include a scent device capable of delivering a specific odor, for example in relation to the bouquet of plants.

Selon une seconde variante de réalisation, le moyen de préhension 5 sera dissociable de la tige de présentation/transport 4, comme cela est visible sur les figures 1 et 2. Dans ce cas, de la même manière que précédemment, l'extrémité inférieure 12 du moyen de préhension 5 présentera une circonférence filetée apte à être vissée sur l'extrémité supérieure 7 de la tige de présentation/transport 4. Bien entendu, tout autre mode de fixation pourra être employé dans la mesure où il est adapté pour fixer deux sections sensiblement tubulaire.According to a second alternative embodiment, the gripping means 5 will be separable from the rod presentation / transport 4, as can be seen on the Figures 1 and 2. In this case, in the same way as previously, the lower end 12 of the means of grip 5 will have a threaded circumference suitable for be screwed onto the upper end 7 of the rod presentation / transport 4. Of course, any other mode of fixation may be used insofar as it is suitable for fixing two substantially tubular sections.

La poignée 10 du moyen de préhension 5, ainsi que la tige de présentation/transport 4, l'élément de soutien 3 et la base 2, pourront être réalisée en différentes matières, par exemple en plastique, bois, acier.The handle 10 of the gripping means 5, thus that the presentation / transport rod 4, the element of support 3 and base 2, could be carried out in different materials, for example plastic, wood, steel.

Comme cela est représenté sur la figure 3, le dispositif selon l'invention pourra également comprendre un sac 13 étanche et transparent, idéalement en plastique, entourant la base 2 et une partie au moins de l'élément de soutien 3 de sorte que les extrémités inférieures des plantes du bouquet 8 reposent dans un liquide nourricier, tels que de l'eau comprenant éventuellement un mélange d'oligo-éléments ou de minéraux. Le sac 13 étanche pourra être obturé, et ainsi délimiter un volume intérieur étanche, grâce à un fil 14 disposé sur toute la circonférence dudit sac 13 étanche et comportant deux extrémités 15 et 15' libres et préhensibles de sorte que l'utilisateur peut lui-même refermer ce volume étanche.As shown in Figure 3, the device according to the invention may also include a waterproof and transparent bag 13, ideally made of plastic, surrounding the base 2 and at least part of the element of support 3 so that the lower ends of plants of bouquet 8 rest in a nourishing liquid, such as water optionally comprising a mixture trace elements or minerals. The waterproof bag 13 may be closed, and thus define an interior volume waterproof, thanks to a wire 14 placed over the entire circumference of said waterproof bag 13 and comprising two ends 15 and 15 'free and grippable so that the user can close this sealed volume himself.

Lorsque l'utilisateur ou l'acheteur du dispositif de présentation et le transport 1 selon l'invention arrive chez lui, ce dernier pourra simplement dévisser la tige de présentation/transport 4 pour l'ôter et conserver son bouquet 8 en position verticale reposant sur sa base 2 et l'élément de soutien 3. L'utilisateur pourra également poser le dispositif selon l'invention dans un récipient suffisamment large de manière à mettre les tiges du bouquet 8 en contact avec de l'eau.When the user or purchaser of the presentation device and transport 1 according the invention arrives at home, the latter can simply unscrew the presentation / transport rod 4 to remove it and keep its bouquet 8 upright resting on its base 2 and the support element 3. The user can also place the device according to the invention in a container large enough to hold the stems of bouquet 8 in contact with water.

L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre du brevet.The invention is described in the foregoing to as an example. It is understood that the skilled person is at even to realize different variants of the invention without however, outside the scope of the patent.
