Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vase such as a vase for fresh flowers or cut flowers.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Summer plants (flowers) cultivated in the house during the cold season tend to wither unless they deepen the water in the vases and raise the water level (FIG. 4 (b)). This is because summer blooming flowers absorb water well, so you can enjoy the summer flowers in winter with less difference between the flowers and the water surface.
[0003]
This is because summer flowers are difficult to land through the stem when the temperature is low.
[0004]
On the other hand, flowers that bloom in winter, such as chrysanthemums, can be landed even if the water level of the vase is shallow, and the lifespan of the flowers is maintained for a long time (Fig. 4 (a)).
[0005]
In a vase using this principle (Japanese Patent No. 2857605), an open / close stopper is provided on the donut-shaped upper end closing plate of the inner and outer double cylinders, and the stopper is opened and closed to fill water between the inner and outer double cylinders.
[0006]
Therefore, air enters from the opening / closing stopper, water flows out from the water inlet formed in the lower end closing plate, a water receiving tray is provided below the lower end closing plate, and the upper end of the water receiving tray and the lower end of the outer cylinder need to be connected integrally. was there.
[0007]
The conventional vases shown in Fig. 4 (b) and (b) are good for watching summer flowers and winter flowers throughout the seasons, but it is easy for bacteria to grow in the water tray, making it difficult to wash and the appearance of bad smells. It is likely to occur.
[0008]
Therefore, the upper end closing plate is not provided with an open / close stopper, but the lower end closing plate is provided with this to prevent the ingress of air into the inner and outer cylinder space, and the water tray is detachably fitted to the lower end of the outer cylinder. It is formed so that the dish can be easily washed, the water level is raised to the top of the inner cylinder, and summer flowers are inserted into the inner cylinder for viewing. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-168463).
[0009]
However, since the lower end of the outer cylinder and the upper end of the water tray are simply in a fitted state, it is easy to separate from each other, and when the water level is raised above the upper end of the water receiver, water pressure is applied and the space between the water receiver and the lower end of the outer cylinder There was a defect that the water leaked and could not be used as a vase for summer flowers.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention steadily drops the water in the water tank between the inner and outer cylinders into the water receiving tray from the dropping port, keeps the low water level safely in the water receiving tray and is easy to use for winter flowers, and the water level in the inner cylinder space. Not only can it be adapted to cut summer flowers, but the watertightness between the outer tube and the water pan is sufficient to prevent water leakage, and the outer tube and the water pan are easily separated and washed easily. The purpose is to keep the water tray clean.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention firstly connects the upper and lower ends of the inner and outer wall plates with upper and lower end plates, interposes a space between the inner and outer wall plates, provides a water inlet and its sealing plug on the lower end plate, and The lower end plate is provided with a water dropping port to form a water tank, a male spiral strip is provided on the outer surface of the downward projection provided along the outer periphery of the lower end plate, and the male spiral strip and the inner surface of the water receiving tray are provided. The female spiral strip is screwed, and the lower end edge of the downward projection is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the water receiving tray by fastening the male and female spiral strips, and in this state, the lower end opening of the dropping port and the upper surface of the water receiving tray A vase with a water level retention gap between them,
Secondly, in place of the upper surface of the water tray, the vase according to the first invention, which is closely attached to the side surface of the circular protrusion formed on the upper surface,
Consists of.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The upper and lower ends of the cylindrical inner and outer wall plates 1 and 2 are aligned, and the upper and lower ends are connected and sealed with donut-shaped upper and lower end plates 3 and 4 so that the cylindrical space s is interposed between the inner and outer wall plates 1 and 2.
[0013]
The lower end plate 4 is provided with a water dripping port 7, and a short tube 7 ′ is fitted to the lower end plate 4, and the lower end of the tube 7 ′ is opened obliquely. Further, the lower end plate 4 is provided with a water inlet 5 protruding into the space s, a sealing plug 6 is provided at the water inlet 5 so as to be opened and closed, and the stopper 6 is removed so that water is supplied from the water inlet 5 to the space s. To form a cylindrical water tank 8.
[0014]
Further, a short cylindrical downward projection 9 is provided along the outer periphery of the donut-shaped lower end plate 4, and a gently inclined double male spiral strip 10, 10 is provided on the outer surface thereof, and an inner portion of a water receiving tray 12 disposed below the projection 9. Slowly inclined double female spirals 11 and 11 that are screwed into the male spirals 10 and 10 are provided on the side surfaces, and the male and female spirals 10 and 10 and 11 and 11 are screwed together.
[0015]
By screwing and tightening the male and female spirals 10, 10 and 11, 11 together, the lower end edge 9 'of the downward projection 9 can be brought into close contact with the upper surface 12' of the water receiving tray 12, and water can be stopped by the close contact. .
[0016]
In the water stop state, a water level holding gap t can be interposed between the lower end opening of the dripping port 7 and the upper surface 12 ′ of the water receiving tray 12.
[0017]
Further, the close water stop is an inclined side surface of the upward circular protrusion 13 formed along the outer periphery of the upper surface 12 ′ in place of the close contact between the upper surface 12 ′ of the water receiving tray 12 and the lower end edge 9 ′ of the downward protrusion 9. The water can be stopped by bringing the lower end edge 9 'into close contact with each other. The water receiving tray 12 and the downward projection 9 can withstand the water pressure of the high water level surface 14 raised to the inside of the inner wall plate 1 by the close water stop. Leakage with the lower edge 9 'is prevented.
[0018]
A winter flower 15 such as a chrysanthemum shown in FIG. 4 (a) is inserted into the inner wall board 1 by sinking a cut end of a stem under a low water level surface 14 'held in a water tray 12, and To do.
[0019]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the summer flower 16 is a flower that can be born by submerging the cut end of the stem to the water tray 12 below the high water level surface 14 raised in the inner wall plate 1.
[0020]
The upper surface 12 ′ of the water receiving tray 12 or the side surface of the circular protrusion 13 is brought into close contact with or separated from the lower end edge 9 ′ of the downward protrusion 9 by rotating forward and backward around the center line, and the water receiving tray 12 is further separated from the water tank 8. The water tray 12 and the lower end of the water tank 8 can be cleaned, and there is no risk of air entering between the inner and outer wall plates 1 and 2 from the upper end of the water tank 8. Can be safely dropped.
[0021]
In the figure, reference numeral 17 denotes a vacuum portion formed at the upper end of the water tank 8.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, summer flowers can be laid in winter, winter flowers can be laid in summer, and relatively long-lived flowers can be provided.
[0023]
Even at the high water level, there is no risk of water leaking from between the water receiving tray and the downward projection, and it can be safely used.
[0024]
Further, there is an effect that the water receiving tray can be easily separated from the water tank and the water receiving tray and the lower portion of the water tank can be easily cleaned and kept clean.
