DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple vase which can be stored in a flat state when not in use, and which can be opened and spread when used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when visiting a patient at a hospital, a bouquet of flowers is often brought with the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare as many vases as the number of visitors who bring flowers.

[0003]

By the way, if vases are prepared by the number of visitors who bring flowers, it is not only inconvenient to carry, because it is heavy and bulky.
There are various problems that the amount of money is increased, and that after the discharge from the hospital, the vase becomes unnecessary, and that it is difficult to dispose or store the vase.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and can be stored in a flat state when not in use, and can be expanded and used to provide a simple and inexpensive method when in use. It is intended to provide vase.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cylindrical portion which can be expanded from a planar state to a cylindrical state by water pressure, and is provided on both sides of the cylindrical portion in a planar state in a vertical direction. And a bottom part which is stored in a folded state at the lower part of the cylindrical part in a planar state and can be opened by water pressure, and a paper piece inserted into the cylindrical part. In addition, according to the present invention, the tubular portion is formed by stacking two sheet-shaped members, and a column portion is formed by a closed portion by closing both longitudinal sides of the sheet-shaped member, and a lower portion of the sheet-shaped member is formed. It is preferable that a bottom portion is formed by being continuously connected to the cylindrical portion, and a paper piece is inserted into the cylindrical portion.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when water is poured from the opening of the cylindrical portion in the planar state, the cylindrical portion expands from the planar state to the cylindrical state by water pressure, and the folded state is formed in the lower part of the cylindrical portion in the planar state. The bottom part stored in the housing also expands to a three-dimensional state, and in this state, the columns provided in the vertical direction on both sides of the cylinder part in a planar state support the cylinder part, prevent it from falling down, and maintain the three-dimensional state On the other hand, when it is no longer needed, it is flat by simply discarding the water and folding it, but the paper piece inserted in the cylinder not only exerts the message effect and decorative effect, but also plays the role of a support member, Stabilize to a more three-dimensional state.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a plan view in a plane state, FIG. 2 is a plan view in an exploded state, FIG. 3 is a perspective view in a state of water, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a paper piece used in a vase, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a vase with a piece of paper filled with water.

The vase 1 is formed in a flat state when not in use, and has a cylindrical portion 2 which expands from a flat state to a cylindrical state by water pressure, and a column portion 3 provided on both sides of the cylindrical portion 2 in a flat state in a vertical direction. , 3 and a bottom part 4 stored in the lower part of the cylindrical part 2 in a folded state.

The vase 1 is formed by laminating a flexible member, for example, a sheet member 11 of polypropylene resin or the like. That is, the sheet-like member 11 includes two sheets 12, 12 forming the cylindrical portion 2 and the support portions 3, and the bottom portion 4.
And a sheet 13 that forms

The sheets 12, 12 are overlapped to form a cylindrical portion 2. Both longitudinal sides of the sheets 12, 12 are closed by pressure bonding or the like, and closed portions (padding portions) 12a, 12a, 12a. , 12a are formed in the pillar portions 3,3. Further, below the seats 12, 12, a closing portion (gap) 13 b, 13 described later of the seat 13 is provided.
b (overlap) 12b, 12
b is provided.

On the other hand, the sheet 13 forming the bottom part 4 is formed so as to be able to be folded in the middle through the fold line L, and is overlapped on both sides with the closed parts 12a, 12a, 12a, 12a to form one of the pillar parts 3, 3. Closed part (glued margin) 1 that forms a part
3a and 13a are provided, and at the center, there are provided closed portions (glues) 13b and 13b which are overlapped with the above-mentioned closed portions (glues) 12b and 12b.

A piece of paper 5 such as synthetic paper or water-resistant paper is inserted into the vase 1. The paper sheet 5 is folded in two and inserted into the vase 1, and the paper sheet 5 includes a message such as "Take care of your body", a pattern of vegetables, landscapes, people, animals, etc. The decoration is drawn.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

First, when water W is introduced from the opening of the cylindrical portion 2 in the planar state, the cylindrical portion 2 expands from the planar state to the cylindrical state by water pressure. Also expands to a three-dimensional state. In this state, the columns 3, 3 provided in the vertical direction on both sides of the cylindrical portion 2 support the cylindrical portion 2, so that the vase 1 is prevented from overturning and is held in a three-dimensional state. After that, the bonsai (not shown) from the opening of the cylindrical portion 2.
Insert

When the flower vase 1 becomes unnecessary due to the withering of the flower, the water W is discarded, and the water V is simply folded to obtain a flat state.

As described above, the water V is applied to the vase 1 in the planar state.
, It is automatically expanded and held in a three-dimensional state by the water pressure, so that it can be easily flowered inside, while it can be flattened just by folding, so it can be carried without bulk Not only is it convenient, but you don't have to worry about disposing or storing it when it is no longer needed.

Moreover, since the vase 1 is formed by the sheet-shaped member 11, it is not bulky, lightweight and convenient to carry, and can be manufactured inexpensively and easily.

Further, since the paper piece 5 is inserted into the vase 1, not only the message effect and the decoration effect of the vase 1 are enhanced by the paper piece 5, but also the paper piece 5 supports the vase 1 in a three-dimensional state. In addition to the support of the support portions 3 and 3, it is possible to further stabilize and prevent the fall. In particular, it is effective for the vase 1 formed of a flexible member such as a sheet-like member.

[0019]

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, when used, the state is automatically changed from a flat state to a three-dimensional state by water pressure and held, so that it is easy to use and the inside of the apparatus can be easily mounted. On the other hand, when not in use, it can be folded and folded into a flat state, so that it is not bulky and convenient to carry, it is not troublesome to dispose or store it, and it is formed by a sheet-like member. Is not bulky and lightweight, so it is not only more convenient to carry, but also inexpensive and easy to manufacture, but a piece of paper is inserted into the vase, Not only can the message effect and decoration effect be enhanced, but the paper piece also serves as a support member, so that the three-dimensional state can be further stabilized, and It is possible to prevent the inconvenience of equal.
