Abstract

The article according to the invention comprises a cut flower or plant (1) and a support (2) forming a receptacle for a substrate (3) in which the plant is planted. According to the invention, the support (2) consists of at least one bag formed by bonding or heat welding two superimposed preferably transparent plastic sheets in which the substrate (3) is placed.

Description

La présente invention concerne un article permettant de réaliser une décoration à base de végétaux (plantes, fleurs coupées ...) simple à réaliser et facilement transformable. The present invention relates to an article for making a decoration based on plants (plants, cut flowers ...) simple to make and easily transformable.

Une composition végétale ou florale est généralement constituée par un bouquet de fleurs coupées dans un vase ou par un arrangement de plantes dans un pot plus ou moins habillé. A plant or floral composition is generally made up of a bouquet of cut flowers in a vase or an arrangement of plants in a more or less dressed pot.

La forme et la variété des arrangements trouvent une limite dans la structure du vase ou du pot qui, en plus de tenir les végétaux rassemblés, sert de support pour ces compositions en présentant une surface inférieure par laquelle l'article peut reposer sur le sol, une table ou un plan quelconque. The form and variety of arrangements find a limit in the structure of the vase or pot which, in addition to keeping the plants together, serves as a support for these compositions by presenting a lower surface by which the article can rest on the ground, any table or plan.

La présente invention entend proposer un article décoratif par lequel la présentation de l'arrangement floral est modifié grâce notamment à un support du ou des végétaux différent des pots ou vases traditionnels. Ce support permet de disposer les végétaux dans un espace dépourvu de plans ou tablettes de support et, dans une forme de réalisation préférée, de réaliser des mariages de couleur non seulement par le jeu des fleurs ou des plantes mais aussi par celui des couleurs du substrat dans lequel est plantée la fleur ou la plante. The present invention intends to propose a decorative article by which the presentation of the floral arrangement is modified thanks in particular to a support of the plant or plants different from traditional pots or vases. This support makes it possible to arrange the plants in a space devoid of support plans or shelves and, in a preferred embodiment, to achieve color marriages not only by the play of flowers or plants but also by that of the colors of the substrate. in which the flower or plant is planted.

A cet effet l'invention a donc plus précisément pour objet, un article décoratif comprenant au moins un végétal et un support de ce végétal qui comprend au moins une pochette réalisée par la jonction linéaire de deux pans de matière plastique superposés, formant réceptacle pour un substrat dans lequel est planté le végétal. To this end the invention therefore more specifically relates to a decorative article comprising at least one plant and a support for this plant which comprises at least one pocket produced by the linear junction of two superposed sections of plastic material, forming a receptacle for a substrate in which the plant is planted.

Au moins une paroi de la pochette comporte une nervure réalisée par un repli de l'un des pans obtenu par jonction linéaire du pan sur lui-même. At least one wall of the pocket has a rib produced by a fold back of one of the panels obtained by linear junction of the panel on itself.

Avantageusement, le volume intérieur de l'un au moins des replis est en communication avec le volume intérieur de la pochette par sa partie inférieure dépourvue de ligne de jonction. Advantageously, the interior volume of at least one of the folds is in communication with the interior volume of the pocket by its lower part devoid of junction line.

Au moins l'un des pans de matière plastique est transparent, et selon une caractéristique secondaire, l'un des pans est en un matériau plus rigide que celui de l'autre pan. At least one of the plastics sections is transparent, and according to a secondary characteristic, one of the sections is made of a more rigid material than that of the other section.

Dans une variante l'article de l'invention comporte une pluralité de pochettes réalisées sur un panneau pouvu des oeillets de suspension. Enfin, le support peut également comporter un socle auquel est suspendu ladite pochette. In a variant, the article of the invention comprises a plurality of pockets produced on a panel capable of hanging eyelets. Finally, the support may also include a base from which said pocket hangs.

L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description donnée ci-après à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et non limitatif qui permettra d'en dégager les avantages et les caractéristiques secondaires. The invention will be better understood during the description given below by way of purely indicative and nonlimiting example which will make it possible to identify the advantages and the secondary characteristics thereof.

Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un article décoratif conforme à l'invention, - la figure 2 montre une variante de réalisation de l'invention en forme de panneau décoratif, - la figure 3 montre l'association d'un article conforme à l'invention et d'un socle. Reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which - Figure 1 is a schematic view of a decorative article according to the invention, - Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention in the form of a decorative panel, - Figure 3 shows the association of an article according to the invention and a base.

En se reportant tout d'abord à la figure 1, on voit que l'article selon l'invention comporte un végétal 1 (plante ou fleur coupée), un support 2 formant réceptacle pour un substrat 3 dans lequel le végétal est planté. Le support 2 est réalisé en forme de pochette par pliage d'un matériau en feuille (matière plastique) et collage des deux pans de la feuille pliée le long d'un coutour choisi en fonction de la forme désirée pour le support. Par exemple, le support 2, représenté à la figure 1 est réalisé à partir d'une feuille rectangulaire, repliée sur elle-même, les deux pans ainsi constitués étant sensiblement carrés. La pliure étant située en 2a, les pans sont soudés par thermosoudage, si la matière plastique s'y prête, ou sont collés en 2b le long du côté du carré adjacent à la pliure 2a.On réalise ainsi une pochette dont on peut travailler la forme en faisant un ou plusieurs replis sur l'un ou l'autre de ses pans. On voit deux de ces replis 4 et 5, obtenus par collage ou thermosoudage de la feuille sur elle-même le long d'une ligne 4a, 5a orientée en direction de la pointe 6 de la pochette. Ces replis constituent des nervures de raidissage du support et peuvent avantageusement jouer le rôle de réserve d'eau d'arrosage. En effet, pour ce qui concerne le repli 4 par exemple, la ligne de jonction 4a est interrompue au voisinage de la pointe 6 ce qui permet une communication entre le volume intérieur du repli 4 et le volume intérieur de la pochette par laquelle de l'eau versée dans le repli 4 peut passer dans le substrat 3. On peut bien entendu varier à l'infini les formes possibles du support 2. Referring first to Figure 1, we see that the article according to the invention comprises a plant 1 (cut plant or flower), a support 2 forming a receptacle for a substrate 3 in which the plant is planted. The support 2 is produced in the form of a pocket by folding a sheet material (plastic material) and gluing the two sides of the folded sheet along a seam chosen as a function of the shape desired for the support. For example, the support 2, shown in Figure 1 is made from a rectangular sheet, folded back on itself, the two sides thus formed being substantially square. The fold being located in 2a, the panels are welded by heat-sealing, if the plastic material is suitable, or are glued in 2b along the side of the square adjacent to the fold 2a. shape by making one or more folds on one or other of its sides. We see two of these folds 4 and 5, obtained by gluing or heat-sealing the sheet on itself along a line 4a, 5a oriented in the direction of the tip 6 of the pocket. These folds constitute stiffening ribs of the support and can advantageously play the role of reserve of irrigation water. Indeed, with regard to the fold 4 for example, the junction line 4a is interrupted in the vicinity of the tip 6 which allows communication between the interior volume of the fold 4 and the interior volume of the pocket through which the water poured into the fold 4 can pass into the substrate 3. It is of course possible to vary infinitely the possible forms of the support 2.

En particulier, ce support peut comporter, outre les nervures et les canaux d'alimentation et de réserve d'eau, plusieurs compartiments qui peuvent chacun contenir du substrat dans lesquels des fleurs ou plantes différentes sont plantées.In particular, this support may comprise, in addition to the ribs and the supply and water supply channels, several compartments which may each contain substrate in which different flowers or plants are planted.

Ce support sera avantageusement en matière plastique transparente. On pourra ainsi apercevoir la couleur du substrat employé qui peut être du terreau mais également tout substrat synthétique (mousse de matière plastique, laine de roche, fibres, granulats...) contenant ou non des matière hydrophiles et pouvant être diversement colorés. This support will advantageously be made of transparent plastic. We can thus see the color of the substrate used which can be potting soil but also any synthetic substrate (plastic foam, rock wool, fibers, aggregates ...) containing or not hydrophilic materials and which can be variously colored.

Enfin le support comportera au moins un oeillet 7 pour en permettre l'accrochage ou la suspension. Finally, the support will include at least one eyelet 7 to allow it to be hung or suspended.

Il faut également noter que si dans l'exemple représenté la matière du support est identique quelque soit le côté, on peut réaliser un support conforme à l'invention en assemblant des feuilles de caractéristiques différentes. It should also be noted that if in the example shown the material of the support is identical whatever the side, a support according to the invention can be produced by assembling sheets of different characteristics.

L'une des feuilles par exemple, peut être beaucoup plus épaisse ou beaucoup plus rigide que l'autre de manière à constituer un panneau de fond sur lequel l'autre feuille est rapportée plissée en applique sur ce panneau. De même l'une des feuilles peut etre colorée et l'autre transparente. En outre, les feuilles peuvent ne pas avoir la meme dimension finale, l'une pouvant largement déborder l'autre.One of the sheets, for example, can be much thicker or much more rigid than the other so as to constitute a bottom panel on which the other sheet is attached pleated applied to this panel. Similarly, one of the leaves can be colored and the other transparent. In addition, the sheets may not have the same final dimension, one of which may greatly exceed the other.

La figure 2 illustre à cet effet une variante de réalisation de l'objet ou article décoratif selon l'invention dans laquelle chacun des supports 8 est réalisé par un panneau de fond commun 9 pourvu d'oeillets de suspension 9a et sur lequel sont rapportées plusieurs feuilles plissées et nervurées 10 de contour différent pour notamment être en harmonie avec la nature du végétal correspondant. FIG. 2 illustrates for this purpose an alternative embodiment of the decorative object or article according to the invention in which each of the supports 8 is produced by a common bottom panel 9 provided with suspension eyelets 9a and on which several pleated and ribbed sheets 10 of different outline in particular to be in harmony with the nature of the corresponding plant.

Sur la figure 3 enfin, on voit qu'un objet décoratif selon l'invention peut être associé à un socle 11 (ici tubulaire) au moyen des oeillets de suspension 7a, 7b qu'il possède L'ensemble constitue vase pour fleurs coupées ou pot pouvant reposer sur un plan pour plantes ou végétaux enracinés. Finally, in FIG. 3, it can be seen that a decorative object according to the invention can be associated with a base 11 (here tubular) by means of suspension eyelets 7a, 7b which it has. The assembly constitutes a vase for cut flowers or pot that can rest on a plan for rooted plants or plants.

L'article selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages. Tout d'abord, la fabrication du support est très bon marché. Ensuite, ce support avant remplissage n'occupe qu'un volume limité, ce qui permet de le vendre par correspondance très facilement seul ou avec un assortiment de substrats,de graines et un mode d'emploi pour réaliser des plantations à domicile. Le support peut également convenir comme matériel didactique ou d'enseignement afin d'illustrer une plantation, une germination, un enracinement d'une plante, ou un marcottage, un bouturage... The article according to the invention has many advantages. First of all, the manufacture of the support is very inexpensive. Then, this support before filling occupies only a limited volume, which makes it possible to sell it by correspondence very easily alone or with an assortment of substrates, seeds and instructions for carrying out plantings at home. The support can also be used as teaching or teaching material to illustrate a planting, germination, rooting of a plant, or layering, cutting ...

De plus ce support permet la mise en oeuvre d'une moindre quantité de substrat (terreau ou substrat de culture "hors-sol") que les pots traditionnels compte-tenu de la faculté d'adapter aisément la forme du support à la forme de la plante et de sa racine. Du fait qu'ainsi l'article décoratif peut être de faible poids, qu'il comporte une réserve d'eau lui permettant une autonomie nettement plus importante que ne le permet un pot classique, que le support comporte un oeillet simple d'accrochage facilitant son conditionnement dans un emballage cartonné à fenêtre, il devient possible d'envisager une distribution grand-public, du genre magasin à grande surface, de plantes rares ou fragiles habituellement réservées aux circuits de distribution des détaillants fleuristes.On peut même prévoir par ce biais une distribution de masse pour des bouquets de fleurs coupées plantés dans un substrat hydrophile approprié. In addition, this support allows the implementation of a lesser amount of substrate (potting soil or growing medium "above-ground") than traditional pots given the ability to easily adapt the shape of the support to the shape of the plant and its root. The fact that thus the decorative article can be light in weight, that it includes a reserve of water allowing it a significantly greater autonomy than does a conventional pot, that the support comprises a simple eyelet for hanging facilitating its packaging in a cardboard window packaging, it becomes possible to envisage a general public distribution, of the type of large-scale store, of rare or fragile plants usually reserved for the distribution channels of florist retailers. We can even foresee through this mass distribution for bouquets of cut flowers planted in an appropriate hydrophilic substrate.

Par ailleurs, les matières plastiques en feuille étant très variées, le support de l'article selon l'invention peut être destiné à constituer outre le récipient du substrat nécessaire ou végétal, l'emballage lui-même de la plante ou du bouquet, qu'il suffit de suspendre ou d'associer à un socle pour le mettre en valeur. Furthermore, the plastic materials in sheets being very varied, the support of the article according to the invention may be intended to constitute, in addition to the container of the necessary or vegetable substrate, the packaging itself of the plant or of the bouquet, which 'just hang or associate with a base to enhance it.

Il faut noter également que l'invention se prête à de multiples applications. C'est ainsi, entre autres, qu'elle peut constituer un support pour des inscriptions publicitaires ou des décoratives rapportées sur la matière plastique par sérigraphie. On peut également associer le contenu à des supports de forme et de nature différentes de celles du support tubulaire de la figure 3. Ce peut être un corps rigide en matière plastique qui constitue lui-même support pour un autre article (horloge, calendrier, photographies...) et qui comporte des moyens de retenue de la pochette. Ces moyens de retenue peuvent être par exemple constitués par une rainure latérale ménagée dans ce corps recevant un bourrelet de la pochette (notamment une surépaisseur de soudure ou une petite nervure). Ce corps rigide peut être constitué par une prolongation de l'un des éléments constitutif du conteneur s'il possède la rigidité ou l'épaisseur suffisante. It should also be noted that the invention lends itself to multiple applications. Thus, among other things, it can constitute a support for advertising or decorative inscriptions attached to the plastic by screen printing. One can also associate the content with supports of different shape and nature from those of the tubular support of FIG. 3. It can be a rigid plastic body which itself constitutes support for another article (clock, calendar, photographs ...) and which includes means for retaining the pouch. These retaining means may for example be constituted by a lateral groove formed in this body receiving a bead of the pouch (in particular a weld allowance or a small rib). This rigid body can be constituted by an extension of one of the constituent elements of the container if it has sufficient rigidity or thickness.

Bien entendu, la matière plastique utilisée peut être transparente, translucide, colorée, traitée pour former écran aux rayons ultra-violets.... Of course, the plastic used can be transparent, translucent, colored, treated to form a screen with ultra-violet rays ...

L'invention trouve une application intéressante dans le domaine de l'industrie horticole.  The invention finds an interesting application in the field of the horticultural industry.
