[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, when bunching cut flowers for distribution or bundling them to make a bouquet for retail sale, attaches to the cut end of the bouquet to keep the cut flowers fresh so as not to drain water. The present invention relates to a water retaining bag that can prevent water leakage due to the shape of the inner bag even if it rolls over during transportation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cut flowers have been used in the flower wholesale market,
In the distribution process from retail shops to consumers,
It is required to maintain the freshness of flowers. for that reason,
Conventionally, use water absorbent cotton or the like that absorbs water, or use water absorbent polymer that has absorbed water, put it in a container such as resin or film, insert the root of cut flowers into it, and wrap it. Is being done. Moreover, the cut flowers shipped from the production area must be transferred to the consumption area for a long time or over a long distance, and during this time, the freshness of the cut flowers decreases, and the cut flowers and buds bloom and fall. Or problems such as falling leaves occur. For such cut flowers, sprinkle water during transportation or during storage in a warehouse, or insert a flower stem into a water container to make it water-supplyable, or set a storage temperature. At low temperature, a hydrated cloth or the like is wrapped around the stem end, and in some cases, a water-absorbing polymer containing water is attached to the root of the cut flowers to maintain freshness and activity.

However, these methods can supply only a small amount of water to cut flowers. Therefore, continuous water supply for a long time and a long time is difficult. Furthermore, even if you attach a water-containing cloth or water absorbent polymer to the cut flower stem, not all of this moisture is always absorbed by the cut flower,
Much water is scattered in the air and is often not absorbed by cut flowers. In such a situation, there is a demand for a liquid supply method for continuously supplying cut flowers with water, an aqueous solution containing other nutrients for life-prolonging agents, and the like.

The present invention provides a liquid supply method which is low in cost by continuously supplying liquid to such a situation and, at the same time, preventing the liquid from leaking to the outside as much as possible. is there.

[0005]

However, in the dressing and packaging form described in the prior art, the water content necessary for keeping the freshness of cut flowers tends to be insufficient. Further, in the water-absorbing polymer, the cut flower conduit is clogged for some reason, and the cut flower is not supplied with sufficient water. In addition, there was a problem that water or solution leaked in a container when a bouquet or cut flowers was laid down. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a backflow prevention bag for cut flowers, which has a sufficient amount of water to keep freshness, is easy to work with, and can prevent water leakage.

[0006]

(A) The material of the container body 1 for wrapping the cut flower stems or cuts is a flexible, waterproof plastic film, nylon, polyethylene or the like.
(B) The container body 1 for cut flowers of the present invention comprises a main bag portion 2,
The insertion tube portion 3 is formed by connecting the insertion tube portion 3 integrally to the inside between the main portion bag portions 2 and protruding. The insertion tube portion 3 is opened below the upper insertion opening 4. The inverted conical shape is a bottomless cylindrical shape that is gradually narrowed toward the portion 5, and is provided with an insertion opening 4 into which a stem or a bundle of cut flowers can be inserted.
A water retaining bag for cut flowers, characterized in that a space 8 is formed between the outer surface of the lower part of the above and the inner surface of the main part bag portion 2.

[0007]

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When water or a solution containing a nutrient or the like is extracted into this bag and attached to the cut end of a bouquet or cut flowers, sufficient water for plants is obtained. You can replenish and keep the flowers fresh. Further, in the unlikely event that the container is overturned, the water or the aqueous solution is held in the space inside the container, which prevents the water or the aqueous solution from leaking to the outside and reduces the workability during transfer or delivery. Moreover, the work for maintaining the freshness can be simplified. The amount of water injected is such that the container body 1 does not overflow from the opening 5 even when the container body 1 is turned sideways.

EXAMPLE FIG. 3 is an external view of the use of an embodiment of a cut flower backflow prevention bag according to the present invention. In this backflow prevention bag 1 for cut flowers, the insertion tube portion 3 is inserted inside the main portion bag portion 2, and the inner surface of the insertion tubular portion 3 is made into a hollow body while protruding inside and outside the main portion bag portion 2. The insertion cylinder part 3 is composed of a cylindrical body whose periphery is adhered and integrally formed, and the insertion cylinder part 3 has a bottomless cylindrical shape that is gradually narrowed from the upper insertion opening 4 toward the lower opening 5 It is configured. Further, the insertion-portion tubular bag 3 is manufactured so that it is located slightly above the bottom of the main-portion bag portion 2. Although the container body 1 is made in a flat state,
Water is filled from the upper opening and the bottom is inflated by this water.

FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are external views of the use of an embodiment of a backflow prevention bag for cut flowers according to the present invention. To wrap a cut flower using the container body 1 having the above structure,
First, as shown in FIG. 4, liquid 9 such as water or an aqueous solution is put into the bottom of the container body bag 1. Next, a plurality of cut flowers bundled from the insertion opening 4 are inserted so that the root cut portion is immersed in water or an aqueous solution. Then, the upper part of the insertion tube portion 3 is bound and packaged. In the case where the bouquet is wrapped and packed in this way, the water or water liquid 9 at the bottom is replenished to the cut flowers, and as shown in FIG. The main body bag 1 also falls down together, but the water or the aqueous solution in the main body bag portion 2 flows into the space 8 between the main body bag portion 2 and the insertion tube portion 3 to weaken the momentum,
Moreover, since the amount of water in the container body 1 does not overflow from the lower opening 5 even if the container body 1 falls down, water is prevented from leaking to the outside.

A backflow prevention bag 1 for cut flowers having the above-mentioned structure
Depending on the size of the bouquet or cut flowers, the diameter of the insertion port and the size of the entire bag should be prepared. Also,
If you have various colors, the selection will expand. Further, the liquid to be stored in the main body portion 1 is not limited to simple water, and solutions of various chemicals for plants such as nutrients may be selected as needed.

[0011]

As described above, by using this container, water or other liquid contained in the container bag can be continuously supplied to the cut flowers, and only water or an aqueous solution is injected. Therefore, compared to the conventional method of wrapping cut flowers with expensive water-absorbing polymer and resin film, it takes less time and effort to keep the freshness of cut flowers much easier and less expensive. . At the same time, unlike conventional bucket transportation, etc., it is possible to prevent water leakage at the time of rollover at the time of shipping such as transfer delivery and reduce the cost of transfer,
For freshness that can be said to be the life of cut flowers, simply add water or liquid suitable for cut flowers and attach it to the cut edge of the cut flowers, you can replenish water and nutrient solution and prevent water leakage, It is possible to easily supply stable quality of cut flowers and prevent deterioration of cut flowers.
