Definitions

  • the field of the invention is that of the transport and sale of cut flowers. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for transporting and presenting for sale cut flowers placed in containers such as buckets.
  • cut flower means any type of flower, whether fresh or dried, or whether it is natural or artificial.
  • these "roll” are in the form of metal structures comprising four corner posts (possibly removable) carried by a platform with wheels, the amounts being provided to support, in an adjustable manner in height, shelves (most often horizontally).
  • the buckets containing the cut flowers are carried by the shelves, being placed on them or inserted into holes in the shelves.
  • these "roll" are generally intended to allow the transport of a given amount of flowers with the most compactness possible.
  • the spacing between the shelves is adjusted (thanks to a rack system carried by the amounts to change the height position of the shelves) so as to correspond as little as to the height of the flowers extending to- above the shelf bearing the corresponding seals.
  • This distance is due in particular to the fact that the user retains a margin of maneuver to place the flowers on the shelf, or remove them, this to avoid damaging flowers in contact with the shelf directly above the flowers.
  • the height adjustment notches of the shelves on the uprights are predetermined with spacings such that one can not perfectly adjust the space between two shelves to the point of reducing to almost zero the distance d.
  • rolls are currently exclusively designed for transport and are not suitable devices for the presentation of flowers for sale.
  • the "rolls" are completely unsuited to the handling of the flowers by the seller (or by the customer in case of self-service) insofar as the distance d which separates the end of the flowers from the The shelf above them is not large enough to pull the flowers out of their container without hitting or rubbing them on the shelf.
  • the rolls are used only for the period of transport of the flowers from the producer to the place of sale, the flowers (and possibly their container) being then arranged on display means present at the point of sale.
  • JP-8205681 which describes a reclining support for pots of flowers and / or plants, presenting a set of horizontal surfaces for loading the support with pots whose bottom rests horizontally, and a set of housing for tilting the pots for presentation for sale.
  • the stack of media is not provided, which implies that such media are not suitable for a transport phase (during which it is sought to place, and in particular by stacking, a maximum of media in a determined volume).
  • the buckets are placed in cardboard boxes for transportation and then placed on point-of-sale display devices such as those described above.
  • the invention particularly aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the invention aims to provide a device for supporting containers of flowers that are suitable both for the transport of flowers and their presentation for sale.
  • the invention also aims to provide such a device that allows to consider significant gains in terms of storage space of flowers during transport and, therefore, in terms of the cost of transporting flowers.
  • the invention also aims to provide such a device that is very simple and very practical to use in terms of handling at the point of sale.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a device which is simple in design and easy to implement.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide such a device which is inexpensive to produce.
  • a device for the transport and / or the presentation of cut flowers comprising at least two superposed shelves, at least one of said shelves , said support shelf, being surmounted by another and being intended to support at least one container for receiving said flowers, characterized in that said one or more support shelves have at least one housing for said container or containers, said housing or said housing maintaining said container (s) in the transport position and cooperating with said container (s) by a connection allowing the inclination of said container (s) relative to the plane of said support shelf, said inclination being such as to facilitate the extraction of the flowers to from their container.
  • the transport function is satisfactorily provided insofar as the containers are held in place, which prevents them from falling into the vehicle as a result of shaking or vibration.
  • the sales display function is exercised to the extent that the flowers, because of the proper inclination of the containers, are directed towards the outside of the device (as opposed to the direction in which they are directed towards the shelf which overhangs them).
  • This inclination ensures, on the one hand, a better visibility of the flowers and therefore a greater attractiveness vis-à-vis the buyer, and, on the other hand, allows easy handling of flowers by the seller (or by the customer).
  • the spacing between two shelves can be set to the fairest by minimizing the distance d mentioned with reference to Figure 1.
  • this inclination allows a release position in which the flowers are extracted directly in a non-vertical direction, or at least not directed towards the shelf overlooking the flowers.
  • said housing comprises a recess provided in said support shelf and provided so that the container can be inserted into said recess from top to bottom until bearing on the periphery of said recess and / or on the upper face of said shelf support.
  • such a solution can be made inexpensively, for example by cutting the recesses in the shelves made for example by wooden planks.
  • connection is provided by a rim of the container cooperating with said housing.
  • said container or containers have an axial dissymmetry so that rotation of said container or containers on itself or on themselves allows to change the inclination of said container or containers relative to said support shelf.
  • Such containers are very simple and very practical to use. It is sufficient to simply rotate the container on its support to move it from a transport position to a presentation position for sale.
  • connection is made via at least one element interposed between said support shelf and said container or containers.
  • said element comprises at least one ring whose periphery has a scalable thickness for modifying the inclination as a function of the position of said ring around said recess.
  • said rings are made so as to slide on one another so that the modification of their relative positions can be obtained by the rotation of one ring on the other.
  • the user can thus rotate the rings relative to each other without having to partially disengage the container from the support. It is understood that despite the load exerted on the rings due to the weight of the container and its contents, the rings can easily slide on one another.
  • said intercalated element has a curved periphery intended to form a ball joint with the periphery of said recess.
  • said shelf or shelves occupy a position inclined relative to the horizontal.
  • the shelves thus occupy a predetermined position that optimizes the position of the containers during the presentation for sale.
  • the device comprises means for adjusting the spacing between said shelves.
  • the device according to the invention can thus be adopted at different flower heights and therefore be used in a variety of ways.
  • said shelves are each provided to receive a single row of containers.
  • the invention applies for example to a device of "roll” type, comprising a chassis with wheels comprising uprights 1 supporting shelves 2 intended to receive containers 3 (in this case buckets ) in which cut flowers are placed 4.
  • the principle of the invention lies in the fact that at least one of the shelves supporting the containers has housings for maintaining the buckets (in particular for a transport phase), these housings cooperating with the containers by a link to modify the inclination of the containers to facilitate the removal of flowers from containers (especially in a presentation phase for sale).
  • these housings 2 consist of recesses 21 made in the shelves 2 in which the buckets 3 are introduced from top to bottom, the containers having a shape such that they bear on the periphery recesses 21 (or on that of intercalated elements according to some embodiments described below).
  • This support can be obtained simply because of the flared shape of the buckets or with a rim or collar provided for this purpose.
  • the shelves are preferably designed to receive only one row of buckets.
  • the uprights carry adjustment means (not shown) for the height position of the shelves, these adjustment means being able to be constituted by any suitable means known to those skilled in the art.
  • the buckets 3 are designed to cooperate directly with the corresponding support shelf 2 to allow the modification of their inclination.
  • the buckets 3 have an axial dissymmetry in that they have a bottom 31 and an opening 32 forming in non-parallel planes.
  • the X axis of the buckets 3 is perpendicular to the bottom 31 while the opening 32 is in a plane forming (in the view of Figure 3a) an angle ⁇ with the X axis.
  • this angle ⁇ preferably corresponds to the angle formed by the shelf 2 with the horizontal.
  • the buckets 3 have an upper rim 33 (which can be shifted more or less towards the bottom of the bucket according to other conceivable embodiments) intended to form a bearing surface with the shelf 2.
  • FIGS 4a and 4b provide another illustration of this embodiment.
  • the X axis of the buckets 3 is substantially vertical, which preferably corresponds to a transport position buckets containing cut flowers.
  • the flowers 2 are thus directed towards the outside of the support device, which facilitates their removal from the water 3 without being bothered by the shelf which overhangs them.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b illustrate a second embodiment of the invention according to which the connection between the housing made in the shelf 2 and the bucket is obtained via an intercalated element 5.
  • this intercalated element consists of two rings 51, 52 of evolutionary thickness on their circumference and complementary shapes.
  • the rings 51, 52 have between them a preferably smooth contact surface and are advantageously made of a material having a coefficient of friction chosen to facilitate the sliding of the rings 51, 52 one on the other.
  • angle formed by the X axis of the buckets in a display position can be adapted as much as is necessary simply by modifying the shape of the rings 51, 52.
  • connection making it possible to modify the inclination of the buckets 3 with respect to the shelf is ensured by an interposed element 6 having a rounded periphery 61.
  • Such a curved periphery 61 forms a ball joint with the periphery of the recess made in the shelf and allows the passage of a transport position ( Figure 6a) to a position of presentation for sale ( Figure 6b).
  • this embodiment can also be applied to the case where the shelf occupies a position inclined relative to the horizontal.
