[Embodiment of device]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a bulb packaging case according to the present invention. The bulb packaging case is entirely made of resin (for example, a resin sheet body is vacuum-molded). Therefore, the case main body 1 has a pair of left and right halves 2, 2 with a bendable intermediate sheet portion 3 interposed therebetween. The case body 1 is made of a resin sheet that is biodegradable in soil.

The half body 2 has a side wall 8 and a tapered surrounding wall 7 that is provided so as to slightly extend outward from the side wall 8. In addition, on the side wall 8, a hemispherical concave portion 4, a sprout passage concave groove 5 provided at an upper portion of the concave concave portion 4, and a root passage concave groove 6 provided at a lower portion of the concave concave portion 4. , A vase-shaped bulb containing recess 9 is formed. In addition, the groove width for the sprout passage 5 is such that the groove width of the upper portion 5a thereof expands via the stepped portion 23 and reaches the (upper) peripheral wall 7, and the root passage groove 6 (the lower portion) is also formed. It reaches up to the surrounding wall 7.

Therefore, a plurality (two in the illustrated example) of the bulb-accommodating recessed portions 9 are arranged in parallel in the half body 2 at a predetermined pitch T. The predetermined pitch T is set to a distance close to the bulb implantation interval. Here, the bulb implantation interval refers to an optimal implantation interval (between plants) for each type of bulb, for example, hyacinth and tulip are 12 cm, and muscari and crocus are 6 cm.

Therefore, the bulb accommodating recess 9 is formed in a size and shape according to the type of the bulb, and the predetermined pitch T is set to a distance close to the bulb implantation interval according to the type of the bulb. . For example, the predetermined pitch T is 6 cm to 9 cm for hyacinth and tulip, and 3 cm to 4 cm for muscari and crocus. The predetermined pitch T may be set to the bulb implantation interval.

Further, the half body 2 is provided with a narrow groove 10 having a slightly wide groove width from an upper portion to a lower portion between the plurality of bulb accommodating recessed portions 9, 9 (intermediate portion). A fertilizer storage recess 11 for accommodating fertilizer (granular, powdery, etc.) is provided to intersect with the narrow groove 10.

As described above, the half body 2 in which the plurality of bulb storing recesses 9 and 9 and the narrow groove 10 are juxtaposed is left and right in the intermediate seat portion 3 having the gutter-shaped hinge portions 12 and 12 at the left and right ends. The pair of sheets are symmetrically connected to each other through the intermediate sheet portion 3. Further, a small convex portion 13 is projectingly provided at an end portion of the side wall 8 of the left half body 2, and a small concave portion 14 fitted to the small convex portion 13 is provided at an end portion of the side wall 8 of the right half body 2. Is provided.

Then, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 2, when the case body 1 is folded in two by the hinge portions 12, 12 of the intermediate sheet portion 3, the left and right halves 2, 2 face each other, and the small convex portion is formed. The small recessed portion 14 is fitted in 13 to maintain the case body 1 in the folded state.

However, by folding in two, the bulb storing recesses 9, 9 of the left and right halves 2, 2 face each other, and the bulging bulb storing portion A ---- a vase-shaped space for storing the bulb-- One bulb is formed, and a plurality of bulb storage portions A ... Each of which stores a plurality of bulbs one by one are formed. By storing the bulbs one by one, there is no contact between the bulbs and they do not rub each other and get scratched.

Further, at this time, the fine grooves 10, 10 of the left and right halves 2, 2 face each other to form a water flow path 15 (see FIG. 4). Further, a gap is formed between the intermediate sheet portion 3 and the peripheral walls 7 and 7 of the halves 2 and 2 which are close to the intermediate sheet portion 3, and serves as a void portion M for inserting a card-shaped product label 17. Note that the product label 17 may be a folded booklet.

In order to prevent the bulbs inside the case body 1 from spilling outside during the distribution process, as shown in FIG. 3, the bulb packaging case of the present invention has an outer casing to which the case body 1 is fitted. Su 18 is equipped. When the bulbs are shipped, the case body 1 containing the bulbs is placed in the outer case 18, and a label 19 indicating the product name, the bulb name, the bulb implantation method, etc. is attached to the outer surface 25 of the outer case 18. Since the case body 1 and the outer case 18 are transparent, the consumer can visually select the product label 17 and the packaged bulb from the outside and can select the bulb.

Then, in order to plant the bulb in a flowerbed or (planter containing soil), etc., the case body 1 is pulled out from the outer case 18, the product label 17 of the case body 1 is taken out from the void M, and As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, it may be buried in the soil 21 while being packaged in the case body 1. At this time, a hole 20 having a depth suitable for various bulbs and having a size into which the case body 1 is inserted is dug. This allows a plurality of bulbs 30 to be planted at once. It should be noted that the fertilizer storage section 16 is preliminarily filled with granular or powdered fertilizer 22.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the bulb 30 covered with the case body 1 forms roots 31 and germinates 32 with the passage of time. At this time, the roots 31 are the bulb storage portions of the case body 1. A downwardly extends through the lower opening 26 (root passage groove 6, 6) of A, and the bud 32 upwards through the upper opening 27 (bulb passage groove 5, 5) of the bulb storage portion A. extend.

Further, when water is supplied, the water 24 impregnated in the soil 21 flows into the water channel 15 (fine grooves 10, 10) of the case body 1 and permeates the fertilizer 22 of the fertilizer storage section 16. Then, the nutrient N containing the water 24 permeates into the soil 21 through the lower opening of the flow path 15. That is, the nutrient N can be supplied near the root 31 of the bulb 30 and at an optimum position.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, as the growth of the plant 30a grown from the bulb 30 progresses, the case body 1 biodegrades in the soil 21 (not shown), and the plant 30a opens. However, when the bulb 30 is dug up thereafter, the case body 1 is completely biodegraded and the traces disappear.

FIG. 7 shows a case where the half body 2 of the case main body 1 is provided with three concave recesses 4 ... And two narrow grooves 10, 10. The lower part of the narrow groove 10 is branched from the fertilizer storage recess 11 in a bifurcated shape, and is disposed in the vicinity of the root passage recesses 6 and 6 on both sides. This is because when the predetermined pitch T between the bulb storing recesses 9, 9 is relatively long, the distance from the narrow groove 10 provided in the middle to the root of the bulb becomes large, so that both roots easily absorb nutrients. This is because of consideration given to In addition to this, it is also possible to provide a thin groove 10 with a dedicated fertilizer storage recess 11 for each bulb in proximity to the bulb storage recess 9 (see FIG. 5).
