  The container for cut flowers according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a sheet-like member 110 having a waterproof property, and has a bottomed cylindrical container body with one end opened as an open end and the other end closed as a closed end. 100 and a holding body 200 for holding the container main body 100. The holding body 200 is extended from the upper surface 210 where the opening 211 is opened and the edge of the opening 211 toward the inside. It has four backflow prevention pieces 212 and a support part 220 that extends from the edge of the upper surface 210 and allows the holding body 200 itself to stand. The closed end of the container body 100 is held from the opening 211. The open end of the container body 100 is fixed on the upper surface 210 excluding the opening of the holding body 200, and the backflow prevention piece 212 is blocked from the open end of the container body 100. At least a portion of until parts are along the backflow preventing member 212, and forms a water reservoir 150.

  First, this cut flower container is composed of a container main body 100 for storing water and a holding body 200 for holding the container main body 100.

  The holding body 200 is configured by folding corrugated cardboard formed in a substantially cross shape as shown in FIG. An opening 211 is formed in a substantially central portion of the substantially square upper surface 210 located at the center of the corrugated cardboard. From the four edge portions of the opening 211, a substantially trapezoidal backflow prevention piece 212 is extended inward. The backflow prevention piece 212 is bent from the edge portion toward the back side. The backflow prevention piece 212 is set to a size that does not completely close the opening 211 when it is flush with the upper surface 210.

  Further, a substantially rectangular support portion 220 is extended from a pair of opposed edge portions 213 of the upper surface 210 of the holding body 200. The support portion 220 is bent in a substantially orthogonal direction with respect to the upper surface 210. Note that the bending direction of the support portion 220 is the same as the bending direction of the backflow prevention piece 212.

  Further, a substantially rectangular bent piece 230 is extended from a pair of opposite edge portions 214 on the upper surface of the holding body 200. The bent piece 230 is bent in a direction substantially orthogonal to the upper surface 210. The bending direction of the bent piece 230 is the same as the bent direction of the backflow preventing piece 212 and the support portion 220.

  In the bent state of the support part 220 and the bent piece 230, the height dimension of the bent piece 230 is set to about ½ of the height dimension of the support part 220. Therefore, when the bent portion of the support portion 220 and the bent piece 230 is placed on a plane, the lower end of the support portion 220 is in contact with the plane as shown in FIG. It will be in a floating state.

  The container body 100 is formed by combining four waterproof sheet-like members 110 as shown in FIG. 5 and connecting them by appropriate means such as ultrasonic welding. The sheet-like member 110 is made of, for example, an olefin-based synthetic resin. The sheet-like member 110 has a wedge-shaped portion 111 whose lower end is pointed like a wedge, and an upper portion of the wedge-shaped portion 111 is a substantially bowl-shaped bowl-shaped portion 112 that is larger in the lateral direction than the wedge-shaped portion 111. The upper part is a substantially drum-shaped drum-shaped part 113 that is narrower in the lateral direction than the bowl-shaped part 112, and the upper part of the drum-shaped part 113 is a trapezoidal part 114 that is larger in the lateral direction than the drum-shaped part 113.

  A height dimension H <b> 1 of the hook-shaped part 112 is set to be slightly larger than a height dimension of the support part 220. The height H2 of the drum-shaped portion 113 is set to be slightly larger than the sum of the dimensions of the back-flow preventing piece 212 and the back surface of the upper surface 210. Further, the width dimension of the trapezoidal portion 114 is set slightly larger than the length dimension of one side of the upper surface 210 of the holding body 200. Also, the height dimension H3 of the vertical side 114A of the trapezoidal portion 114 is such that the height is applied to the bent support portion 220 and the bent piece 230 in a state where the trapezoidal portion 114 is covered on the upper surface 210. Is set.

  The container main body 100 is formed by connecting the edge portions of the respective parts of the four sheet-like members 110 thus configured by appropriate means such as ultrasonic welding. At that time, only the upper edge of the trapezoidal portion 114 is not connected. As a result, the container body 100 is opened at one end, that is, the trapezoidal portion 114 as an open end, and the other end, that is, the wedge-shaped portion 111, is closed-bottomed.

The container body 100 and the holding body 200 thus configured are combined as follows to form a cut flower container.
First, as described above, the holding body 200 bends the support portion 220 and the bent piece 230 in a direction orthogonal to the upper surface 210 in the same direction. Further, the four backflow prevention pieces 212 are also bent in the same direction as the support portion 220 and the like.

  Next, the container body 100 is inserted from the opening 211 of the holding body 200, that is, the opening 211 in a state where the four backflow prevention pieces 212 are bent. Then, the upper end portion of the hook-like portion 112 of the four sheet-like members 110 constituting the container main body 100, that is, the boundary 115 between the hook-like portion 112 and the drum-like portion 113, the upper surface 210, the respective support portions 220, It is fixed with an adhesive or the like on the back side of the boundary with the curved piece 230.

  Further, the trapezoidal portions 114 of the four sheet-like members 110 constituting the container body 100 are spread outward, and the upper surface 210 of the holding body 200 is covered with the four trapezoidal portions 114. Then, the four trapezoidal portions 114 are applied not only to the upper surface 210 but also to the bent support portion 220 and the bent piece 230. Note that the four trapezoidal portions 114 are desirably fixed to the upper surface 210 by an appropriate means such as an adhesive tape or an adhesive.

  The drum-shaped portion 113 of the container body 100 is along the front and back surfaces of the backflow prevention piece 212 inside the holding body 200, and the bowl-shaped portion 112 is on the back surface of the upper surface 210 and the back surfaces of the support portion 220 and the bent piece 230. Spread along. That portion becomes the water retaining portion 150 when the cut flower container is tilted or turned over (see FIG. 1).

  In the cut flower container configured as described above, when water W is put into the container body 100 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, when the cut flower container is tilted, the water W collects in the water reservoir 150 located on the lower side and does not leak outside. As shown in FIG. 7C, even if the cut flower container is turned upside down, the water W is collected in the water reservoir 150 and does not leak to the outside.

The cut flowers are inserted into the container body 100 from the opening 211. At this time, since the backflow prevention piece 212 suppresses the stem portion of the cut flower, there is an effect that the cut flower is inserted into the cut flower container in a stable state.
In the above-described embodiment, the holding body 200 is formed of corrugated paper, but it goes without saying that it may be formed of other materials such as waterproof cardboard. In the embodiment described above, the container body 100 is made of an olefin-based synthetic resin. However, other materials such as waterproof cardboard, laminated cardboard, etc. may be used. Of course.

  Further, although the four backflow prevention pieces 212 are provided in the opening 211 of the holding body 200, the number is not limited as long as it is two or more. However, when two backflow prevention pieces are provided, the backflow prevention pieces facing each other effectively prevent the water W from leaking to the outside.
