Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned various problems in the prior art and provides a plant tissue which is lightweight, has a low cost, is excellent in handleability, is uniform and has excellent growth properties. This has led to the development of a container that can be mass-produced. Specifically, it comprises a transparent container body with an open top and a lid fitted to the opening of the container body. Along the outer periphery of the opening edge of the container body, an auxiliary flange having a diameter larger than the opening is formed, and a rib having a horizontal stopper at the lower end from the bottom surface of the auxiliary flange to the side surface of the container body, The present invention relates to a plant culture vessel characterized in that at least three or more places are formed on a peripheral surface of a vessel main body, and a scale is provided on a side face.

Further, according to the present invention, in the above-mentioned plant culture incubator, an auxiliary flange having a diameter larger than that of the opening is formed on the container body along the outer periphery of the opening edge.
The lid has a sealing rib fitted inside the container body opening edge, a sealing rib fitted between the container body opening edge and the auxiliary flange, and a sealing rib closely attached to the upper end surface of the auxiliary flange. However, the present invention also relates to a plant culture vessel.

[0006]

When the containers are stacked, the horizontal stopper formed at the lower end of the rib extending from the bottom surface of the auxiliary flange to the side surface of the container body abuts on the opening edge of the lower container and the bottom stopper. In order to prevent the above intrusion,
It can be removed very easily when removing the upper container. In addition, since the measuring scale is provided on the side surface of the container body, the volume of the substitute medium can be appropriately and uniformly maintained.

Further, an auxiliary flange having a diameter larger than that of the opening is formed along the outer periphery of the opening edge of the container body, and a sealing rib fitted to the inside of the opening edge of the container body is formed on the lid. A sealing rib fitted between the opening edge of the container body and the auxiliary flange, and a sealing rib closely contacting the upper end surface of the auxiliary flange, so that the opening edge of the container body side and the auxiliary flange, The sealing rib that fits inside the opening edge of the container body and the sealing rib that fits between the opening edge of the container body and the auxiliary flange are fitted with each other in a staggered manner, and the sealing rib tip of the lid is auxiliary. It adheres tightly to the upper end of the flange and maintains perfect airtightness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The specific contents of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
To explain based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, 1 is a container body made of transparent plastic and having a bottom and opened at the top,
Reference numeral 6 denotes a lid fitted into the opening of the container body 1.
The container main body 1 has a horizontal portion 2 extending horizontally outward along the outer periphery of the upper opening edge 1a, and further has its outer peripheral end rising upward to form an auxiliary flange larger in diameter than the opening edge 1a. 3 are formed. Further, from the bottom surface of the auxiliary flange 3 to the side surface of the container body 1, at least three or more ribs 4 having a horizontal stopper 4a at the lower end portion are provided on the peripheral surface of the container body 1 (in the illustrated embodiment, a total of four ribs). Location) is formed.

In the drawing, reference numeral 5 denotes a rib for reinforcement formed in the middle of each of the ribs 4. Further, a measuring scale 10 is provided on a side surface of the container body 1 so that the volume of the culture medium can be visually checked. The lid 6 is made of a transparent plastic material similar to that of the container body 1 described above, and is formed in a tapered shape in which the container body opening edge 1a side at the tip end, which fits inside the container body opening edge 1a, is somewhat thin. It has a sealing rib 9, a sealing rib 7 that fits into a gap formed between the container body opening edge 1 a and the auxiliary flange 3, and a sealing rib 8 that is in close contact with the upper end surface of the auxiliary flange 3. In the drawing, reference numeral 7a denotes a spacer formed on the side surface of the sealing rib 7 at an intermittent position in the circumferential direction so as to make a space between the opening edge 1a of the container body as much as possible and having a tapered lower end portion. .

In the above-described configuration, the lid 6 is put on the opening edge 1a of the container body 1, and the sealing ribs 9 and 7 of the lid 6 are provided.
Are fitted into the container main body opening edge 1a and the auxiliary flange 3 in a mutually staggered manner, and the tip of the sealing rib 8 of the lid 6 is in close contact with the upper end surface of the auxiliary flange 3 of the container main body 1 to achieve sufficient airtightness. Can be maintained.

When the lid 6 is fitted, the sealing rib 9 and the tip of the spacer 7a are tapered, so that the lid is smooth and the spacer 7a is located outside the opening edge 1a of the container body. Since the end of the sealing rib 7 is pressed against the auxiliary flange 3 as the lid 6 contacts the side surface, the airtightness is further improved.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, at least three ribs having a horizontal stopper at the lower end are provided on the peripheral surface of the container body from the bottom surface of the auxiliary flange to the side surface of the container body.
The horizontal stopper formed at the lower end of the rib extending from the bottom surface of the auxiliary flange to the side surface of the container body when the containers are stacked abuts on the opening edge of the lower container. Thus, further penetration of the bottom can be prevented, so that it can be removed very easily when removing the upper container.

Further, since the measuring scale is provided on the side surface of the container body, the volume of the culture medium can be maintained accurately and uniformly. Further, an auxiliary flange larger in diameter than the opening is formed on the container body along the outer periphery of the opening edge, and a sealing rib fitted on the inside of the container body opening edge is provided on the lid, In order to have a sealing rib fitted between the opening edge and the auxiliary flange, and a sealing rib in close contact with the upper end surface of the auxiliary flange, an opening edge on the container body side and the auxiliary flange, and a container body opening of the lid body The sealing rib that fits inside the edge and the sealing rib that fits between the opening edge of the container body and the auxiliary flange fit each other in a staggered manner, and the sealing rib tip of the lid is above the auxiliary flange. It adheres to the end face and can maintain perfect airtightness.

Further, a spacer provided on the sealing rib (9) of the lid body (6) insulated inside the container body opening edge (1a) and the sealing rib (7) fitted between the container body opening edge and the auxiliary flange. When each tip of (7a) is tapered, not only the lid is smooth, but also the spacer (7a) contacts the outer side surface of the opening edge (1a) of the container body, and the lid is inserted. Then, since the tip of the sealing rib (7) is pressed against the auxiliary flange, the airtightness is further improved.
