It is an object of the present invention to provide a vase capable of arranging a variety of flower arrangements and plants by devising a unified form.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention has an accommodation space facing upward with a partition wall serving as a bottom provided with drainage means capable of draining water. A first container provided with a portion and a second container provided with a downward accommodation space
And a container body provided upside down, and the first container body and the second container body are different from each other.

According to this structure, the first container is a vase,
It can be used as a basin or a flower pot, and the second container can be used as a display stand for the first container, and if it is turned upside down, the second container can be used as a vase, a basin or a flower pot, and Since one body can be used as a display stand for the second body and the shapes of the first body and the second body are different, one vase can be used in two ways with different impressions.

The draining means may be provided in the partition wall which is the bottom portion, but may be provided in the vicinity of the bottom portion as in the second aspect of the invention.

The partition wall may be integrally formed with the first container and the second container, but as in the third aspect of the invention, the first container and the second container are separably connected. May be. As the connecting means, for example, screwing may be used, or fitting by unevenness may be used.

By providing the portion 23, the first device body 3 and the second device body 5 can be attached to the screws 20, 2
It is removably connected through the two. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the thread bottom 21 and the annular bottom receiving portion 23 are not formed with screws, and the thread bottom 21 is fitted into the annular bottom receiving portion 23 so that the first body 3 and the second body 5 are connected. It is connected. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the first container body 3 and the second container body 5 are provided with bottom portions 1a and 1b, respectively.
The bottom portion 1b of the body 5 has thread-shaped annular projections 9 and 1, respectively.
0 is provided, and the annular projections 9 and 10 have different diameters and are fitted and connected. The water draining means 8 including the water draining hole 6 and the plug body 7 is provided in the center of the bottom portion 1a of the first body 3, and the water draining hole 6 is further provided in the center of the bottom portion 1b of the second body 5.

Also in the vase of each of the second embodiments described above,
Similar to the first embodiment, the second container body 5 can be used as a flower vase by turning it upside down.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment. The difference from the first and second embodiments is that the drain hole 6 is provided.
The installation position of the draining means 8 including the plug body 7 and the plug body 7 is provided on the side peripheral wall near each of the bottoms 1, 1a, 1b of the first and second vessels, and the number of the draining means 8 May be plural.

FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) show an example of another example of use of the first embodiment. First, FIG. 6 (a) shows the arrangement of ikebana in the accommodation space 2 of the first container. A cylindrical auxiliary tool 11 is installed for living in a cohesive shape without spreading. A water permeable hole 12 is provided on the peripheral surface of the auxiliary tool 11, and a locking piece 13 extending to the inner wall of the accommodation space 2 is provided on the upper peripheral edge of the auxiliary tool 11. FIG. 6B shows that the auxiliary tool 11 is installed inside the accommodation space 4 of the second container by turning it upside down.

FIG. 7 shows that a spherical vase portion 14 is detachably attached in the accommodation space 2 of the first container 3 in the first embodiment, and the flower arrangement is not spread in the vase portion 14 and is collected. Auxiliary tool 11 with a water-permeable hole 12 for keeping shape
Is housed inside in a state of standing upright from the mouth of the vase portion 14. The vase portion 14 is attached to the first device body 3 by inserting the vase portion 1 into the fitting hole 15 that also serves as the water drain hole 6 in the bottom portion 1 of the first device body 3.
