[0001] La invención se refiere a un embalaje para flores cortadas con tallo largo, que comprende un recipiente con la parte superior abierta al igual que un tubo, cuyo fondo se soporta sobre el recipiente, este recipiente y tubo tienen medios de enganche para una fijación apropiada del tubo con respecto al recipiente, teniendo el recipiente medios de fijación en la parte superior para asegurar los medios de enganche, teniendo el recipiente un canal que está abierto en la parte superior sobre al menos parte de la periferia, el fondo del tubo se coloca en el canal y los medios de enganche comprenden un corte en el tubo así como un gancho que se coloca en un extremo del corte del tubo que interactúa con el recipiente en el otro extremo. [0001] The invention relates to a package for cut flowers with a long stem, comprising a container with the upper part open as well as a tube, the bottom of which is supported on the container, this container and tube have attachment means for a proper fixing of the tube with respect to the container, the container having fixing means at the top to secure the hooking means, the container having a channel that is open at the top on at least part of the periphery, the bottom of the tube it is placed in the channel and the hooking means comprise a cut in the tube as well as a hook that is placed at one end of the cut of the tube that interacts with the container at the other end.

[0002] El documento DE-A-2850558 divulga un embalaje según el preámbulo de la reivindicación anexa 1 con una parte inferior provista de un canal abierto en la parte superior. La pared interna de dicho canal se interrumpe mediante ganchos para conectar un tubo a la parte inferior. [0002] Document DE-A-2850558 discloses a package according to the preamble of claim 1 with a lower part provided with an open channel in the upper part. The internal wall of said channel is interrupted by hooks to connect a tube to the bottom.

[0003] Dicho embalaje de la técnica anterior es menos adecuado para contener flores dado que la parte inferior no es adecuada para contener agua, en cuanto a lo que la pared interna interrumpida del canal se refiere. [0003] Said prior art packaging is less suitable for containing flowers since the lower part is not suitable for containing water, as far as the interrupted internal wall of the channel is concerned.

[0004] El objetivo de la invención es proporcionar un embalaje que no tenga esta desventaja. Dicho objeto se consigue formando el gancho en una pieza con la pared externa del canal, y comprendiendo los medios de fijación una sección de la otra pared del canal. [0004] The object of the invention is to provide a package that does not have this disadvantage. Said object is achieved by forming the hook in a piece with the external wall of the channel, and the fixing means comprising a section of the other wall of the channel.

[0005] El gancho se puede formar en una pieza con la pared externa del canal, de manera que sea elásticamente movible. El tubo es luego fijado por la otra pared del canal para que no se desprenda. Como resultado es posible prevenir que el gancho perjudique el material relativamente débil de un tubo hecho de, por ejemplo, cartón. [0005] The hook can be formed in one piece with the outer wall of the channel, so that it is elastically movable. The tube is then fixed by the other wall of the channel so that it does not come off. As a result it is possible to prevent the hook from damaging the relatively weak material of a tube made of, for example, cardboard.

[0006] Preferiblemente, el recipiente y el tubo tienen una sección transversal rectangular o cuadrada, allí habría al menos un gancho en dos secciones opuestas del canal. [0006] Preferably, the container and the tube have a rectangular or square cross-section, there would be at least one hook in two opposite sections of the channel.

[0007] Los medios de fijación comprenden un gancho y un borde de fijación localizado de manera opuesta al gancho. [0007] The fixing means comprise a hook and a fixing edge located opposite the hook.

[0008] Según una forma de realización, que no forma parte de la presente invención, el recipiente y el tubo tienen un corte cada uno, en cuyo corte se encaja un gancho común. El gancho preferiblemente consiste de un plástico elástico. Si hay una abertura de manija en cada uno de dos lados opuestos del recipiente, los ganchos se pueden ajustar en tal abertura de manija. [0008] According to one embodiment, which is not part of the present invention, the container and the tube each have a cut, in which cut a common hook is fitted. The hook preferably consists of an elastic plastic. If there is a handle opening on each of two opposite sides of the container, the hooks can be adjusted in such a handle opening.

[0009] Además, los medios de fijación comprenden un canal que está abierto en la parte superior y que se extiende alrededor de al menos parte de la periferia del recipiente, quedando el fondo del tubo colocado en el canal. Con esta disposición los medios de enganche comprenden un corte en el tubo al igual que un gancho que en un extremo se coloca en el corte en el tubo y que en el otro extremo interactúa con el recipiente. [0009] In addition, the fixing means comprise a channel that is open at the top and extends around at least part of the periphery of the container, the bottom of the tube being placed in the channel. With this arrangement the hooking means comprise a cut in the tube as well as a hook that at one end is placed in the cut in the tube and that at the other end interacts with the container.

[0010] Se hace referencia al embalaje descrito en el documento NL-A 1012164C. Con este embalaje conocido el recipiente tiene un canal que está abierto en la parte superior, en el que se puede colocar un tubo. No obstante, este tubo no está fijado con respecto al recipiente. Sin embargo, las flores se estabilizan por sí mismas porque se suspenden en un interior separado. Consecuentemente, el riesgo de que las flores empiecen a inclinarse contra el tubo en un ángulo es considerablemente menor con este embalaje conocido. [0010] Reference is made to the packaging described in document NL-A 1012164C. With this known packaging the container has a channel that is open at the top, in which a tube can be placed. However, this tube is not fixed with respect to the container. However, the flowers stabilize on their own because they are suspended in a separate interior. Consequently, the risk of the flowers starting to lean against the tube at an angle is considerably less with this known packaging.

[0011] La invención será ahora explicada con más detalle con referencia a algunas formas de realización ilustrativas mostradas en las figuras. [0011] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to some illustrative embodiments shown in the figures.

La figura 1 muestra una vista expuesta parcialmente y en perspectiva del embalaje según la invención. Figure 1 shows a partially and perspective view of the packaging according to the invention.

La figura 2 muestra una sección transversal según II-II en la Figura 1. Figure 2 shows a cross section according to II-II in Figure 1.

Las figuras 3 y 4 muestran formas de realización, que no forman parte de la presente invención. Las figuras 5 y 6 muestran otras variantes de una conexión de gancho. Figures 3 and 4 show embodiments, which are not part of the present invention. Figures 5 and 6 show other variants of a hook connection.

[0012] El embalaje según la invención mostrado en la figura 1 comprende un recipiente indicado en su totalidad por 1 y un tubo 2 que se coloca en el recipiente 1. Como se muestra en la sección transversal de la figura 2, el recipiente tiene un canal general 3 en la parte superior, en el que se coloca el tubo 2. [0012] The packaging according to the invention shown in Figure 1 comprises a container indicated in its entirety by 1 and a tube 2 that is placed in the container 1. As shown in the cross section of Figure 2, the container has a general channel 3 at the top, in which tube 2 is placed.

[0013] Para proteger el tubo 2 contra desprendimientos involuntarios del recipiente 1, se proveen medios de enganche indicados en su integridad por 4. También podemos encontrar tales medios de enganche 4 en las partes del canal opuestas. Estos medios de enganche comprenden un gancho 5 es formado en una pieza con la pared externa 19 del canal 3, al igual que una abertura 6 en el tubo. Debajo del gancho 5 la pared 19 del canal 3 es provista de un corte 7, de manera que el gancho 5 pueda fácilmente moverse elásticamente hacia afuera y puede luego rebotar. [0013] In order to protect the tube 2 against involuntary detachment of the container 1, coupling means indicated in full by 4 are provided. We can also find such coupling means 4 in the opposite parts of the channel. These hooking means comprise a hook 5 is formed in one piece with the outer wall 19 of the channel 3, as well as an opening 6 in the tube. Under the hook 5 the wall 19 of the channel 3 is provided with a cut 7, so that the hook 5 can easily move elastically outward and can then bounce.

[0014] Esto se utiliza cuando se ajusta el tubo 2. Este es empujado hacia el canal 3. Durante esta operación el tubo se desliza a lo largo de la pared interna 20 del canal 3, de manera que los ganchos 5 son empujados hacia fuera y luego vuelven de nuevo a los cortes 6. El tubo 2 es así de hecho protegido contra el desprendimiento involuntario del recipiente 1. La pared interior 20 actúa como medio de seguridad contra el desprendimiento del tubo. [0014] This is used when the tube 2 is adjusted. This is pushed into the channel 3. During this operation the tube slides along the inner wall 20 of the channel 3, so that the hooks 5 are pushed out and then return again to the cuts 6. The tube 2 is thus thus protected against the involuntary detachment of the container 1. The inner wall 20 acts as a safety means against the detachment of the tube.

[0015] En la variante de la figura 3, que no forma parte de la presente invención, se ha colocado asimismo un tubo 2 en el canal 3, que está abierto en la parte superior del recipiente 1. El recipiente 1 tiene manijas 8, que se usan para fijar los ganchos 9. [0015] In the variant of Figure 3, which is not part of the present invention, a tube 2 has also been placed in the channel 3, which is open in the upper part of the container 1. The container 1 has handles 8, which are used to fix the hooks 9.

[0016] Se han hecho agujeros 10 en el tubo 2. Los ganchos 9 tienen un borde de retención en el fondo 11 y dos [0016] Holes 10 have been made in the tube 2. The hooks 9 have a retaining edge at the bottom 11 and two

5 ganchos superiores 12. El borde de retención 11 es ajustado sobre el límite superior de la manija 8, mientras que los ganchos 12 se enganchan en las aberturas 10. De esta manera, se obtiene una protección del tubo 2 contra desprendimientos involuntarios del recipiente 1. 5 upper hooks 12. The retaining edge 11 is adjusted over the upper limit of the handle 8, while the hooks 12 are engaged in the openings 10. In this way, a protection of the tube 2 is obtained against involuntary detachment of the container 1 .

[0017] El tubo consiste en dos secciones 13, 14 que se unen entre sí a lo largo de su línea de corte preferencial 15. Se puede conseguir una mejor vista del contenido del embalaje eliminando la sección superior 14 del tubo mediante un [0017] The tube consists of two sections 13, 14 that join together along its preferential cutting line 15. A better view of the contents of the package can be achieved by removing the upper section 14 of the tube by means of a

10 corte a lo largo de la línea de corte preferencial 15. 10 cut along the preferential cut line 15.

[0018] Alternativas para el gancho de la figura 2, es decir, los ganchos 5" y 5"', se muestran también en las Figuras 5 y [0018] Alternatives for the hook of Figure 2, that is, the hooks 5 "and 5", are also shown in Figures 5 and
