Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flower container with a funnel-shaped top and to a set for assembling a flower container.
  • the DE 1899376 U1 discloses a flower packaging cover made of a transparent film, in which a container with a water-soaked filler for inserting plant roots or plant stems is arranged.
  • US 2006/0283077 A1 a cut flower package comprising an elongated body having a closed base and a top portion having an open top, the top portion extending from the base.
  • the base serves as a reservoir for water and its flat bottom allows the packaging to be set up.
  • Strips made of a flexible material are arranged as handles on the upper section.
  • the device When the device is used as intended, it is filled with water and flowers.
  • the cut surfaces of the flowers are in one package during transport existing water reservoir positioned and the upper section of the device holds the stem, leaf and petal parts of the flowers.
  • the DE 21 00 448 A1 discloses a flower container with a substantially square cross section, a bottom part serving to accommodate a water-absorbing body and the flowers being arranged in a top part.
  • the flower container can be detachably assembled from two half-shells.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a flower container of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enables both the protected transport of a bouquet of flowers and its presentation and which can also be made from an environmentally friendly material.
  • a flower container comprises a lower part having a square base area, which is used to absorb water or a moisture-absorbing material, to which a funnel-shaped upper part, which widens to a free end and encloses plant parts, is detachably connected, the upper part having a square cross section and at least has detachable plug connections or an adhesive connection on two long sides.
  • the lower part has extension surfaces between two adjacent legs forming side walls, which can be folded into the interior of the lower part when the blank is folded into a useful shape.
  • the lower part is cross-shaped in its development and the opposite legs are delimited from a base area forming the base by means of folding embossing, the legs having plug-in means for mutual releasable fastening and for releasable arrangement on the upper part.
  • the lower part has a flat base and, with appropriate design or filling, can shift the center of gravity downwards overall, so that the flower container has a relatively secure stand.
  • the present design makes it possible to produce the lower part as a flat blank from a sheet-shaped material, for example cardboard or the like, and for its intended use the blank is folded and put together accordingly.
  • a cut flower or an entire bouquet of flowers, which also represent parts of plants in the context of the invention, are protected in the flower container, whereby the flower container can, for example, be dimensioned such that the flowers in the wide area at the free end of the upper part and cut ends of the flowers are arranged in the lower part or the flowers protrude from the upper part.
  • the bouquet of flowers can be tied and placed in the initially open flower container, which can then be closed using the plug-in connections or the at least one adhesive connection.
  • the lower part filled with water or equipped with a moist material can be connected to the upper part, after which the cut surfaces are either in the water or in the material, which can be a kind of sponge, for example.
  • the upper part and the lower part can be connected to one another using plug or adhesive connections or a holder for the upper part fixes the lower part to the upper part.
  • the upper part can be made from a relatively stable paper material or cardboard.
  • the upper part can be designed as a flat blank and brought into shape by appropriate folding or bending.
  • the flower container therefore represents an easy-to-handle, reusable and recyclable flower packaging.
  • the upper part and/or the lower part can be made of a relatively stable and water-resistant paper material.
  • the square cross section of the upper part can of course be parallelogram-shaped, rectangular or square.
  • the upper part preferably comprises a front part, a back part and two side parts, the front part and the back part having a triangular shape and the two side parts each having side edges that run parallel to one another, the side edges merging into a trapezoidal end section at the end facing the lower part.
  • the upper part is composed of a total of four individual parts, whereby the advantage and the back part can be identical and the two side parts can be identical.
  • a single blank can include the front part, the back part and the two side parts, the geometry of which is essentially defined by fold embossing.
  • the front part and/or the back part and/or the two side parts expediently have plug-in means for the detachable plug-in connections.
  • the plug-in means can, for example, comprise a type of barb that makes it difficult to loosen the plug-in connections or can be hooked into one another or folded after a plug-in process in such a way that it is difficult to loosen the plug-in connections.
  • the plug-in means can also be designed in such a way that they are both easy to join and easy to separate. It is possible to provide all individual parts with plug-in means in order to assemble the upper part of the flower container, for example from two or four individual parts, or to simply provide plug-in means in order to fold the one-piece upper part Condition, i.e. in the position of use, to form the defined cross section and to protect the bouquet of flowers.
  • the front part or the back part is connected to two side parts, with folding embossments delimiting the front part or the back part from the side parts and the side parts having plug-in means which interact with plug-in means of the front part or the back part for the detachable plug-in connections.
  • the upper part is composed of two individual parts, with the shape of the upper part, in particular the square cross-section, being produced by folding the side parts accordingly along the fold embossings.
  • the funnel shape and the plug-in means are obtained by cutting or punching out a sheet-shaped material.
  • the folding embossments are, for example, line-shaped cross-sectional weakenings that make the folding process easier for a user of the flower container.
  • the front part and the back part are each connected to a side part, with a folding embossing delimiting the front part and the back part from the respective side part and the side parts having the plug-in means for the detachable plug-in connections.
  • the flower container is therefore made up of two individual parts that can be designed identically.
  • the lower part can expediently be attached to the upper part by means of plug-in means in a plane in which the side edges of the side parts merge into the trapezoidal section at the end.
  • the plug-in means are preferably designed as plug-in tabs and corresponding plug-in openings.
  • the plug-in tabs can be easily inserted into the plug-in openings with corresponding cross-sections. It is also possible to bend the free end of the plug-in tab inserted into the plug-in opening, so that the plug-in tab is fastened relatively reliably.
  • At least the lower part is preferably impermeable to water on the inside coated. If the coating can be easily removed from the carrier material, the flower container can be disposed of and recycled after use.
  • the rear part has an attachment surface that extends over the front part and the two side parts. If the bouquet of flowers is completely in the flower container, then the attachment surface can be folded, in particular by 90°, so that it forms a lid of the flower container.
  • the flower container 1 comprises a front part 2, two identical side parts 3, a back part 4 and a lower part 5.
  • the front part 2 has a substantially trapezoidal geometry, with the shorter base side 6 forming a bottom side and the longer base side 7 running parallel to it forming a top side .
  • Parallel to the shorter base 6, a plug-in means 9 designed as a plug-in opening 8 is provided, in the extension of which on both sides a folded embossing 11 that weakens the cross-section can be provided.
  • the two tabs 10 on each side enable folding along a line extending the plug opening 8. In the areas of the fold lines 9 assigned to the tabs 10, plug-in means 9 designed as plug-in openings 8 are arranged.
  • the back part 4 corresponds in its essential trapezoidal geometry to the front part 3 with the shorter base side 6 and the longer base side 7 running parallel to it as well as the tabs 10 on the sides and the plug-in openings 8. Furthermore, the longer base side 7 of the back part 4 is rectangular Approach surface 13 is formed, with a fold embossing 11 being able to be provided between a rear surface 14 and the approach surface 13.
  • the two side parts 3 each have side edges 15 which run parallel to one another and which merge at a lower end 16 into a trapezoidal section 17 on which a plug-in opening 8 is provided.
  • the trapezoidal section 17 can be angled in a plane of the plug-in opening 8 relative to the rest of the side part 3.
  • plug-in means 9 designed as plug-in tabs 18 are formed on both sides.
  • the unrolled, i.e. unfolded, lower part 5 is essentially cross-shaped, with the opposite legs 19 being delimited from a base surface 20 forming the base by means of folding embossings 11.
  • Two opposite legs 19 of the lower part 5 are provided with external tabs 10, which are delimited from the remaining leg 19 by folding embossments 11 in which plug-in openings 8 are formed.
  • the two legs 19 arranged at right angles to them have plug-in tabs 18 on the outside and all legs 19 on the front side.
  • a funnel-shaped top part 21 of the flower container 1 In order to form a funnel-shaped top part 21 of the flower container 1, according to Fig. 1
  • the two side parts 3 are releasably attached to the back part 4 by inserting the plug-in tabs 18 of the side parts 3 into the plug-in openings 8 of the back part 4.
  • the side tabs 10 of the back part 4 are located on the inside and are angled at approximately 90 ° relative to the back surface 14.
  • the plug-in tabs 18 are also angled relative to side surfaces 22 of the side parts 3.
  • the front part 2 is connected to the two side parts 3 in such a way that the angled tabs 10 of the front part 2 rest on the inside of the side parts 3 and the plug-in tabs 18 of the side parts 3 protrude through the plug-in openings 8 of the front part 2 and back part 4.
  • the two side parts 3 lie opposite each other and the front part 2 is also aligned opposite to the back part 4.
  • the plug-in means 9 designed as plug-in openings are present on one level, into which the plug-in means 9 of the lower part 5, designed as front plug-in tabs 18, can be releasably inserted.
  • a bouquet 23 protruding from the upper part 21 is inserted into the flower container 1. It can be seen that when receiving a bouquet 23 that does not protrude from the upper part 21, the attachment surface 13 can be bent in such a way that it serves as a lid closing the flower container 1.
  • the flower container 1 can therefore be used as a flower packaging that protects the flowers from damage and can be used for transport and shipping.
  • the alternative flower container 1 comprises according to Fig. 6 in a common blank 24 and optionally by folding embossings 11, which are introduced into the material in the form of embossed lines in a cross-sectionally tapering manner in order to simplify folding, separated from one another, the front part 2, the two side parts 3 and the back part 4, to which the Approach surface 13 connects with a central tab 26.
  • the side parts 3 also have cover partial surfaces 27 on the upper side and extensions 28 are formed on the underside, which have incisions 29 at their free ends to form hooks.
  • the blank 24 is folded in a funnel shape along the fold embossings 11 to form the flower container 1.
  • the lid partial surfaces 27 are bent and covered by the attachment surface 13, which is secured in its position by inserting the tab 26 into the slot 33.
  • the extensions 28 are hooked into one another with their incisions 29 and thus serve as a support or holder for the lower part 5.
  • a longitudinal tab 32 is arranged on a free side edge, which, for example, can be attached to the back part 4 with an adhesive can be coated.
  • the adhesive can be covered with a release liner that is removed for use.
  • a plug connection of the side part 3 to the back part 4 using the longitudinal tab 32, which is inserted into a corresponding slot on the back part 4, is also possible.
  • the alternative lower part 5 after Fig. 7 is designed in such a way that it has no slots on the circumference, but rather between two adjacent legs 19 extension surfaces 30 are arranged or formed, which are folded into the interior of the lower part 5 when the blank 31 is folded into a useful shape. So that the lower part 5 remains in its folded form of use, the extension surfaces 30 can be at least partially coated with adhesive.
  • the lower part 5 is inserted between the extensions 28 when the flower container 1 is in use and is held against falling out downwards by the interconnected extensions 28.
  • the lower part 5 can be filled with water or equipped with a water-soaked sponge or the like in order to supply the flowers or similar plants contained in the flower container 1 with water, in particular, for example, when transported by a delivery service.
