Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

【Technical field】

 The present invention relates to a vase. Vases come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but typically they have a shallow and flat bottom (basin) and deep bottoms (vases and vases). The latter also have a wide mouth (bore diameter). There are two types: one with a relatively large diameter and one with a narrow mouth (a relatively small diameter). This invention concerns the latter vase, which has a relatively wide mouth.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Vases with a deep bottom and a wide mouth include those with an open morning glory flower-shaped mouth at the upper end of a cylindrical main body. Vases made of brass or iron, especially large ones used in temples, etc., need more power to move or change water because they contain a large amount of water in addition to their own weight And Furthermore, if the vase has a wide mouth, the stalks of the vegetated flowers will be scattered, so that it is extremely difficult to lay them in the desired arrangement.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problem, and has an outer shell, an inner container (dropper) detachably fitted into the outer shell through an upper opening of the outer shell, and a detachable inner container near the upper opening of the inner container. It is a vase composed of a fresh flower holder that holds the stems and branches (hereinafter referred to as fresh flowers) of plants (plants and flowers: including artificial flowers) that can be fitted and laid.

[0004] The outer shell is made of a material that is relatively lighter than conventional metal vase materials such as iron, copper, and brass, for example, light metal, synthetic resin, and wood. The size and shape of the outer shell, decorative patterns, designs, shapes and colors on the outer surface are free. The inner container has an upper opening edge detachably fitted to and supported by an edge of the upper opening of the outer shell, a flower holding device supporting step continuous with the opening edge, and an inner container hanging in the outer shell. It consists of a main body. The inner volume of the inner container is smaller than the inner volume of the outer shell, and a space is usually provided between the outer surface of the inner container and the inner surface of the outer shell. As long as the inner volume of the inner container is smaller than the inner volume of the outer shell, the size, shape, and the like are free, and the material is not limited.

[0005] The fresh flower holder comprises a cylindrical main body and a plurality of support rods extending outwardly from the main body wall, and the outer ends of these support rods are provided at the steps of the opening of the inner container. The flower holder is held in the opening of the inner container by detachably engaging and supporting the flower holder. Cylindrical The shape of the main body is free, such as a cylinder, a square cylinder, or a polygonal cylinder, and the material is not limited. When a cylindrical pipe is used as the cylindrical body, three support rods are provided radially at 120 ° intervals. When two support rods of a round bar are provided in the diameter direction, the supported main body swings and becomes unstable. Therefore, if a portion where the outer end of the support rod engaged with and supported by the step of the opening of the inner container is in contact with the step is formed flat or a horizontal cross piece is attached thereto, a cylindrical shape can be obtained. Even if two support rods in opposite directions are provided on the main body, the cylindrical main body can be held so as not to swing. The material of the support rod is not limited, and may be a square rod instead of a round rod, or a pipe.

The support rod may have its inner end fixed to the cylindrical main body. Alternatively, a plurality of mounting holes may be provided in the main body, and each of the holes may be detachable with a screw or the like. In this latter case, the mounting holes are typically drilled so that their centers are on the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body, but in addition to these holes, there is an interval in the axial direction of the cylindrical body. The support tube can be held in an inclined state with respect to the axis of the inner container by providing one or more support rods in these additional holes at different heights by providing additional holes in It is possible to live alive. If the mounting holes are elongated instead of providing additional holes, the mounting position of each support rod can be appropriately selected along the respective elongated holes. If support rods of different lengths are used, the cylindrical body can be installed eccentrically with respect to the center of the inner container. By selecting the length of the support rod and the mounting position with respect to the main body, the main body can be eccentrically and inclinedly supported. If the support rods with different lengths are prepared and replaced, the supports can be used for inner containers with different diameters.

【Example】

 The illustrated embodiment will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer shell, which is made of a hard synthetic resin and has a cylindrical body 2 and an opening 3 which extends upward like a flower of a morning glory. The bottom surface may be closed or open. Reference numeral 4 denotes a peripheral edge of the opening, and reference numeral 5 denotes a handle. Reference numeral 6 denotes an inner container (dropper) which can be manufactured by stamping out a metal plate such as a copper plate, for example, but may be molded with a synthetic resin. The inner container 6 has a flower shape of a morning glory, and connects the upper end of a long small-diameter tube portion 7 whose bottom is closed and the lower end of a short large-diameter tube portion 8 integrally. And a flat peripheral portion 10 connected to the upper opening end of the portion 8. The dimensions of each part of the outer shell 1 and the inner container 6 are such that the latter is fitted into the former, the inner container 6 is supported by the upper opening peripheral edge 4 of the outer shell at its planar peripheral portion 10, and the small-diameter cylindrical portion 7 of the inner container 6 Are properly selected so as to be suspended from the outer shell 2 at appropriate intervals.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a fresh flower holder (flower vase), which is composed of a cylindrical main body 12 and three support rods 13 extending radially outward from the upper end of the main body at intervals of 120 °. Reference numeral 14 denotes a round hole for mounting a support rod formed in the main body 12, and 15 denotes a screw which is screwed into an internal screw (not shown) at the base end of the corresponding support rod 13 through each round hole 14 from the inside of the main body 12. I do. 16 is a washer. When the support rod 13 is attached to the main body 12, the distance a (FIG. 5) from the axis O of the main body to the tip is selected to be substantially equal to the inner radius of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 8 of the inner container 6.

Reference numeral 17 denotes an additional mounting hole which can be additionally provided at a different position in the axial direction of the main body in addition to the supporting rod mounting hole 13. By mounting, the main body 12 can be supported in an inclined state with respect to the inner container 6 (FIG. 8). Instead of the additional mounting hole 17, the mounting hole 12 may be a long hole 18 extending in parallel or obliquely to the axial direction of the main body instead of a round hole (FIG. 4). By mounting at different positions in the direction, the inclination angle of the main body supported by the inner container 6 can be adjusted.

By replacing the support rod 13 with a support rod having a different length, the present invention can be applied to an inner container having a different inner diameter. By making one of the support rods different in length from the other two, the support body 12 can be held eccentrically with respect to the center of the inner container (FIG. 7). By mounting support rods of different lengths on different levels, the main body can be mounted eccentrically and inclined (Fig. 9).

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications are possible. As described above, the size, shape, material, etc. of the outer container and the support are free.
