FR2762200A1 - Suspended supple plastic container for cut flowers or plant - Google Patents

Abstract

A supple plastic container (9) for cut flowers or plants is conical in shape and designed to be suspended from a ceiling by a single vertical wire (3), S-hooks (2, 4) and four splayed steel wires (6) connected by loops to eyelets (8) in the container rim. In variants of the design, the conical holder can be connected to a smooth vertical wall by suction cups, set in a wall bracket with a ring, or placed on a horizontal surface by a stand with a ring on legs.

Description

The present invention relates to a suspension device from a ceiling of a vase.

Currently there are only hanging vase systems on the market, but no flexible vase suspension system for cut flowers or plants.

The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this lack.

The advantage of this invention is the suspension of cut flowers or plants in a flexible plastic vase therefore unbreakable, which can be hung from a ceiling in a house and safe for its inhabitants in case of system failure of fixation.

The device consists of a flexible plastic vase (9) held directly by steel cables (6) connected to each other (5) and hung on a central cable (3) itself suspended from a ceiling attachment (1) .

According to particular embodiments - It is possible by adjusting the length of the central cable connected to the ceiling (3) to adjust the very height of the suspension or even by removing this central cable (3) to directly hang the vase very close from the ceiling (4).

- The vase with metal eyelets at each end (8) it is possible by undoing the cables (6), (it suffices for this to loosen the 4 cable ties that hold the cables to the vase (7), to suspend the vase by a system of suction cups (2 fig. 2) directly on a smooth vertical surface (windows) or metal (fridges) or tiles or directly on a wall by a system of screw or adhesive hooks (1 fig. 3).

- It is also possible to hold the vase upright on an appropriate base (3 fig. 4) or on a support aimed at the wall (3 fig. 5).

Figure 1 shows the device of the invention.

FIG. 2 represents a variant of the invention used with suction cups.

FIG. 3 represents a variant of the invention used with screwed or adhesive wall hooks.

Figure 4 shows another variant used standing on a suitable rigid base.

Figure 5 shows another variant used standing on a rigid support screwed to the wall.

With reference to these drawings, the device of the invention (fig. 1) comprises a welded vpc plastic vase (40 thousandths thick) in the shape of a triangle pointing downwards (dimension 200 mlm wide x 270 mlm high). (9) drilled in 6 places with 6 metal eyelets 5 mlm in diameter (8).

To 4 of these eyelets (the 4 central ones) are attached 4 steel cables of 1 mlm thickness (6) closed on the ends in loops by 4 appropriate cable ties (7).

These 4 cables are connected to each other by a flat aluminum crimp terminal (5), one of the cables ending in a loop, On this loop comes a small hook
S (4) itself attached to another central steel cord also 1 mlm thick
(3) ending in a loop and tightened by a cable tie, this rope coming to hang on
a steel peg attached to the ceiling or to an adhesive plastic hook (1).

The length of the central line is 45 cm (3) and that of the 4 lines connected to the vase
35 cms (6).

Claims (4)

Claims 1) Device for suspending a flexible plastic vase (9) from a ceiling characterized by a system of double fasteners, a steel cord hanging from the ceiling (3) and another steel cord formed by the junction of 4 steel ropes (6) joined together by an aluminum crimp terminal ending in a loop (5) and directly attached to 4 metal eyelets drilled in the vase itself (8) and held by 4 cable ties (7) . 2) Device according to claim characterized in that by removing 4 steel cables attached to the vase (6) and this by loosening the 4 cable ties (7), the vase can be hung either on a smooth surface by a suction cup system (2 fig. 2) or on the wall by a system of hooks screwed with adhesives (1 fig. 3). 3) Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that once filled with any liquid, the flexible starting vessel becomes sufficiently rigid and can therefore be kept upright on a rigid base (4 fig. 4 ) in the shape of an inverted cone or on a support fixed to the wall (3 fig. 5). 4) Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the vase is this time made of rigid colored acrylic plastic, transparent or frosted, with the same perforation system (eyelets) and suspension system (steel ropes) . Device not drawn.
