Description
本発明は、折り畳み式花瓶に関する。 The present invention relates to a folding vase.
多くの国では、様々な機会、とりわけ誕生日、葬儀、母の日、バレンタインデー、記念日等に、贈り物として花が購入される。花だけでもかなり費用がかかるのに、届けられた後、花を生けるために花瓶を購入する必要があることも多い。花を届ける際に花瓶を含めば、贈り物がより実際に価値があるものにできるだろうが、注文される花瓶の種類によっては、更に大幅な費用が注文にかかる場合がある。 In many countries, flowers are purchased as gifts on various occasions, especially on birthdays, funerals, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, etc. Although flowers alone are quite expensive, it is often necessary to purchase a vase to deliver flowers after they are delivered. Inclusion of a vase when delivering flowers will make the gift more valuable, but depending on the type of vase being ordered, it can be more expensive to order.
花屋から通常購入できる花瓶には、2種類ある。1つ目は、伝統的なガラス製花瓶を購入できる。ガラス製花瓶は、一般に、かなり高価である。2つ目は、折り畳み式花瓶が購入可能で、折り畳み式花瓶は、通常底部から上方に延伸する複数の側面を含む。側面と底部は、大抵、花瓶によって水が吸収されないように、防水材料から作製されている。 There are two types of vases that can usually be purchased from florists. First, you can purchase a traditional glass vase. Glass vases are generally quite expensive. Second, a collapsible vase can be purchased, and the collapsible vase usually includes a plurality of sides that extend upward from the bottom. The sides and bottom are usually made of waterproof material so that water is not absorbed by the vase.
折り畳み式花瓶に屈曲性があるため、花の重さで、花瓶の形状が歪み、花を所望の構成に配置するのが難しい場合がある。折り畳み式花瓶の使用には限界があり、折り畳み式花瓶は、一度だけ使用されて廃棄されることが多い。 Because the folding vase is flexible, the weight of the flower can distort the shape of the vase and make it difficult to place the flowers in the desired configuration. There are limits to the use of folding vases, and folding vases are often used once and discarded.
花の重さを十分支えられる強度及び剛性を有する、低価格の折り畳み式花瓶に対する必要性が存在する。 There is a need for a low cost folding vase that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the flower.
本発明は、
防水シート材から作製された底面及び複数の側面であり、該側面は、底面から上方に延伸し、側面間で上部が開口された筺体を画定し、少なくとも1側面は、花瓶を潰したり、広げたりできるように、側面の長手方向に沿って走る少なくとも1つの可撓接合部を備える、底面及び側面;及び
防水材から作製され、花瓶の上部と下部との間に離隔されて、花瓶内側の対向する側面に取着される少なくとも1枚の構造部材であって、各部材は、該部材を花瓶と共に折り畳みできるように、少なくとも1つの可撓接合部を備える構造部材を含む、折り畳み式花瓶を提供する。
The present invention
A bottom surface and a plurality of side surfaces made of a waterproof sheet material, the side surfaces extending upward from the bottom surface and defining a casing with an upper portion opened between the side surfaces, and at least one side surface crushes or widens the vase The bottom and sides with at least one flexible joint running along the length of the side; and made from waterproof material and spaced between the top and bottom of the vase, At least one structural member attached to opposite sides, each member comprising a collapsible vase comprising a structural member with at least one flexible joint so that the member can be folded with the vase provide.
折り畳み式花瓶内に1枚又は複数の構造部材を設けることで、花瓶の剛性を強化する。折り畳み式花瓶は、通常可撓性材料で作製されるため、使用時に、その形状を維持するようにするのは、極めて難しい場合がある。構造部材は、折り畳み可能にするために、花瓶の対向する側面に取着される。正方形又は矩形断面の一般的な花瓶では、構造部材は、花瓶の2側面だけに取着される。 By providing one or more structural members in the folding vase, the rigidity of the vase is enhanced. Since collapsible vases are usually made of a flexible material, it can be very difficult to maintain its shape during use. The structural member is attached to the opposite side of the vase to make it foldable. In a typical vase with a square or rectangular cross section, the structural members are attached to only two sides of the vase.
構造部材は、1つ又は複数の可撓接合部を備える。使用時には、構造部材は、接合端部が存在しない辺でのみ、花瓶に取着される。当然ながら、4つ以上の側面を有する花瓶では、複数の可撓接合部が、構造部材を花瓶と共に折り畳み可能にするために必要とされることがある。 The structural member comprises one or more flexible joints. In use, the structural member is attached to the vase only at the sides where there are no joint ends. Of course, in a vase having more than four sides, multiple flexible joints may be required to allow the structural member to be folded with the vase.
好適には、各部材は、それを通して、花を受容し、支持するために複数の切欠きを備える。典型的な構造の花瓶は、花瓶に配置され、生けられる花を支持するのに、花瓶側面の強度及び剛性に頼る。折り畳み式花瓶の場合、材料が可撓性であることで、側壁の強度が、花の重さを支持するのに不十分であるかも知れない。支持部材を設けることで、花瓶の剛性を高められ、適当なレベルの水を花瓶に加えることで、花瓶と部材の両方が、それら自体で潰れないようになる。 Preferably, each member comprises a plurality of notches for receiving and supporting flowers therethrough. A typical construction vase is placed in a vase and relies on the strength and rigidity of the vase sides to support the flowers alive. In the case of a collapsible vase, the material may be flexible so that the strength of the side walls may be insufficient to support the weight of the flower. Providing the support member increases the rigidity of the vase, and adding an appropriate level of water to the vase prevents both the vase and the member from collapsing on their own.
好適には、支持部材の外部形状は、花瓶の内部形状と密接に対応させる。折り畳み式花瓶内に都合よく花を生けるために、茎が、花瓶内にある大部分の空間を活用するように配置される必要がある。複数の穴を有する、花瓶の内部断面と略同じ大きさの支持部材を有することにより、花瓶の空間全体で、部材(複数可)によって、花を受容、支持可能になる。 Preferably, the external shape of the support member closely corresponds to the internal shape of the vase. In order to conveniently place flowers in the collapsible vase, the stems need to be arranged to take advantage of most of the space in the vase. By having a support member having a plurality of holes and approximately the same size as the internal cross section of the vase, the flower (s) can be received and supported by the member (s) throughout the vase space.
好適には、花瓶と構造部材は、ポリプロピレン、又は木材パルプと低密度ポリエチレンの組み合わせから作製された板紙から製造される。ここで挙げた材料は、本発明での使用に適する材料に関して限定することを目的としたものではない。 Preferably, the vase and structural member are manufactured from paperboard made from polypropylene or a combination of wood pulp and low density polyethylene. The materials listed here are not intended to be limiting with respect to materials suitable for use in the present invention.
好適には、上記、又は各部材の壁厚は、部材が生け花の重さを支持可能にするために、2mm以上にする。必要な壁厚は、使用される材料によって決まる。 Preferably, the wall thickness of the above or each member is 2 mm or more so that the member can support the weight of the flower arrangement. The required wall thickness depends on the material used.
上記、又は各部材は、花瓶の内側に接着される。花瓶は、水を保持するよう意図されているため、上記、又は各部材が、花瓶の側壁との一体性を損なわずに、花瓶に取着されることが望ましい。接着が、上記、又は各部材を花瓶に取着する最も便利で効果的な方法であるが、当然ながら、他の取着方法も使用されることができる。 The above or each member is adhered to the inside of the vase. Since the vase is intended to hold water, it is desirable that the above or each member be attached to the vase without compromising integrity with the side wall of the vase. Adhesion is the most convenient and effective method of attaching the above or each member to the vase, but other attachment methods can of course be used.
