Description

  The present invention relates to a display tag for a plant attached to a growing pot for growing a plant seedling.

  Horticultural plants are cultivated by placing culture soil in a growing pot, planting seedlings and planting young seedlings, and growing the plants until they can be sold as seedlings. By the time the plant seedlings are grown and shipped in this breeding pot, the plant label is inserted into the breeding pot, and the planting pots that have grown the plant seedlings are shipped to the market and sold. Yes. The conventional garden plant label used at this time is a simple one that is inserted into the growing pot as it is, so if the handling of the growing pot is messy, such as when transporting at the time of shipment, the inserted label will be dropped. In some cases, the plant in the garden pot is lost, and it is difficult to know what the plant is in the garden pot. In addition, in order to prevent such loss of the display tag, this display tag may be attached to the breeding pot with a staple, and this method is now mainstream.

  Such staples can surely prevent the loss of the display tag, but this work efficiency is poor, and therefore, as described in Patent Document 1, the side of the insertion portion of the display tag to be inserted into the growth pot is used. Forms a notch at the opposite position, and the growth pot has a cut-in attachment on the side, etc., and the tip of the insertion part of the display tag is inserted into this attachment. There is a proposal to prevent the display tag from falling off during the handling of the gardening pot by engaging the notch of the part.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-49032 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-254642

  In order for the notch portion of the display tag to be securely locked to the attachment portion of the growth pot, the width of the insertion portion ahead of the notch portion of the display tag must be larger than the width of the attachment portion of the growth pot. In order to insert the display tag, it cannot be locked unless the display tag or a part of the growing pot is deformed. For this reason, as shown in Patent Document 2, a crease is formed at the tip of the insertion portion of the display tag, and the display tag is inserted into the attachment portion of the growing pot in a state where the display tag is bent into a V-shaped cross section.

  By the way, the growing pot is grown without displaying the name of the plant, or it is grown with a simple name label attached, and a large display tag that can be promoted before shipping is attached. Yes, in order to prevent the attached display tag from being lost, when attaching the display tag to the breeding pot with staples, it is stapled while supporting the display tag with one hand, so the work efficiency is low and the work time is long. It is. In addition, by folding the display tag into a V-shaped cross-section as in Patent Document 2, when the notch of the display tag is fitted into the attachment portion of the growth pot, the cross-section is V-shaped between the wall of the growth pot and the culture soil. It is necessary to create a large gap to insert the folded display tag, and at this time, the root pot of the plant where the rooting has progressed may be broken and the root of the plant seedling may be cut and weakened. The work of bending the display tag into a V-shaped cross section is troublesome, and this method also increases the work time.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, a display tag of horticultural plants of the invention,
A display tag for the plant to be inserted into a growth pot containing plant seedling and culture soil, the display tag is a display unit for displaying information on the plant, and an insertion unit to be inserted into the growth pot. The side edge of the insertion portion is formed with a notch at a position facing each other, the growing pot is provided with an attachment portion into which the insertion portion of the display tag is inserted, and the insertion portion notch is assumed that the locking at the end of the mounting portion, from the end of the insertion portion of the indication tag to be inserted into the mounting portion, the cutting portion for dividing the tip toward the display portion than the cut portion into a plurality There is formed, the tip of the divided insertion portion of the indication tag, go taken the said notch Merged further overlapping direction approaching cut end surface of the tip when the mounting portion of the development pot And engaging in only part, the insertion portion is characterized by being stopped is pressed against and locked off the inner surface of the growing pot by the potting.

  As described above, the insertion portion of the display tag of the present invention is formed with a cutting portion from the tip toward the display portion, and at least the tip is divided into two, so that the cutting portion at the tip can be moved in the overlapping direction. It will be. For this reason, when the display tag is inserted into the attachment part of the growing pot, the split end of the insertion part can be moved along the side surface of the growing pot. It is not necessary to bend the tip of the display tag into a V-shaped cross section in advance, and this mounting operation is fixed by inserting the display tag into the attachment part of the breeding pot as it is by an ordinary insertion operation. As a result, work efficiency has been greatly improved, and work time has been significantly reduced.

  In addition, since it is no longer necessary to create a large gap between the culture soil where the plant in the growth pot is grown and the inner wall of the growth pot, the display tag can be attached by inserting the display tag along the inner wall of the growth pot in contact with the culture soil. Even if a display tag is attached to the growing plant planted in the growing pot, the culture soil will not be destroyed when the display tag is inserted. It is uniformly pressed against the inner surface of the growing pot by the culture soil. For this reason, even if the display tag is formed with a cutting part that divides the tip of the insertion part, the movement of the insertion part is stopped by the culture soil, and it grows as a notch part even if external force is applied to the display tag. The locking part with the pot mounting part cannot move and the locking is not released.

  In addition, since the insertion portion of the display tag is formed with an insertion portion that continuously narrows the width of the tip than the width of the insertion portion between both cutout portions locked to the attachment portion of the growing pot, By the time the cutting part has to move along the wall surface of the growing pot, the insertion part at the tip of the insertion part has already been inserted into the attachment part of the growing pot, and then the display tag is further attached to this attachment part. In this case, both ends of the insertion portion are pressed against the end of the attachment portion, and the end of the insertion portion moves in a direction overlapping the cutting portion. For this reason, even if a part of the tip of the insertion part protruding from the attachment part of the side wall of the growing pot does not move in the direction in which the cutting part overlaps with a person's hand, it is only necessary to push the display tag into the attachment part. The attachment portion and the cutout portion can be locked.

  In addition, since the insertion portion applies a force in the direction of expanding the width of the mounting portion by pushing the display tag into the mounting portion, the slit-shaped gap should not be expanded in the middle of the mounting portion formed by the slit-shaped cut. The insertion part of the display tag is prevented from bending into a V shape from the cut part, and there is no gap between the side wall of the growing pot and the culture soil, and the display tag is attached. The damage to the plant due to can be minimized.

  Further, a notch portion formed to face both side surfaces of the insertion portion of the display tag inserted into the growth pot and a cutting portion for dividing the tip of the insertion portion are each formed in a slit shape having a predetermined width. is doing. For this reason, the display tag can be formed by punching using a simple punching die that processes the outer periphery, and can be manufactured at a lower cost than a die that punches and cuts out holes and holes. Processing costs are also low, and the product label can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, since the chips are collected together on the outer periphery of the display tag, there is no possibility that chips will be mixed with the product display tag, and the punched display tag should be used without any special inspection. Can do.

Furthermore, the display tag of the garden plant of the present invention is not only characterized by being attached to the growing pot, but the configuration of the display tag of the garden plant is also excellent as a method for attaching and detaching the display tag.
That is, a method of attaching and removing a display tag for the plant to the growth pot using an attachment portion formed at an attachment point of a display tag formed on a growth pot in which plant seedling and culture soil are placed. the display tag includes a display unit for displaying information of the plant, the mounting of the a spigot to be inserted into the growing pot, the growing pot is formed in a position facing the side surface of the insertion portion Waso A cutout portion that is locked to the insertion portion, an insertion portion that continuously narrows the width of the insertion portion at least on the tip side of the cutout portion, and an insertion portion that extends from the distal end of the insertion portion toward the display portion rather than the cutout portion a cutting unit that divides the tip into a plurality and is formed, the indication tag from the container interior to write no time pointing towards the outside of the vessel through the mounting portion of the development pot was divided in the insertion portion tip While moving the cut end face is further overlapped direction approaching said with notch is engaged with the mounting portion, the insertion portion of the development in the pot is pressed against the inner surface of the growing pot by the potting locking When the display tag is removed, the split tip of the insertion portion exposed from the mounting portion of the growing pot is brought close to the cut end surface of the cutting portion along the wall surface of the growing pot. By the operation of moving in the overlapping direction, the display tag can be pulled out above the growing pot.

  As described above, the insertion portion of the display tag of the present invention is formed with a cutting portion from the end toward the display portion, and the divided tip of the display tag moves in the direction in which the cutting portion overlaps. On the other hand, the end of the insertion part of this display tag is inserted from the inside of the container of the growing pot toward the outside of the container, and is displayed on the attaching part of the growing pot. In the state where the end of the insertion part of the part is locked, the end of the insertion part is located outside the growth pot. For this reason, the conventional stapler label has troubles that cause injury when the staples of the stapler are removed or the root pot of the object is broken. However, there was a problem that the root pots of the growing pot and the plant of the growing pot were broken when trying to pull out when replacing the display tag. If the edge is pushed in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 and the cut portion of the divided tip of the display tag is moved in the overlapping direction, the display tag can be removed without breaking the root pot of the plant in the growing pot. .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a display tag 1 according to the present invention is attached to a breeding pot 2, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the display tag 1 and the growth pot 2. In this growth pot 2, culture soil 3 and seedlings of plants 4 planted in the culture soil 3 are placed. The growing pot 2 is used for growing the plant 4. The growing pot 2 is arranged side by side with a culture soil 3, and seedlings of the plant 4 and young seedlings are planted and grown. When the place where the plant 4 is grown in the growing pot 2 grows seedlings of a plurality of kinds of plants 4 together, a label for identifying a simple plant name may be attached to distinguish the seedlings. . Then, in order to sell the seedlings of the plant 4 planted and grown in the growing pot 2 in this manner, a beautiful display tag 1 that clearly shows the characteristics of the plant after removing the label at the time of growing, if any. Are inserted into the breeding pot 2 and arranged in the store.

  This display tag 1 has a display part 1a that describes the name of the plant, the state when the flower blooms, how to grow it, and the like, and has an insertion part 1b extending downward from the display part 1a. Yes. This display tag 1 is shipped and sold from the breeding place with the insertion portion 1b inserted into the culture soil 3 of the growth pot 2, but this display tag 1 may come off the growth pot 2 and be lost. In order to solve the problem, the display tag is stapled directly on the side wall of the growing pot, and this staple operation is quite troublesome work using both hands, so that the production efficiency is low. As another method, a substantially horizontal cut 5 constituting the attachment portion 5 is provided in the side wall portion corresponding to the attachment location of the growing pot 2, while the side edges of the insertion portion 1b of the display tag 1 are opposed to each other. Thus, the notch 6 is provided, and the width of the insertion portion 1b between the notch 6 facing each other is set to be the same as the width of the mounting portion 5. Therefore, in a state where the display tag 1 is attached to the growth pot 2, the notch 6 of the insertion portion 1b is locked to the attachment portion 5 of the growth pot 2, and the display tag is in the middle of conveying the growth pot 2. 1 never falls out.

  In this way, in order to lock the notch portion 6 of the insertion portion 1b to the attachment portion 5 (the notch portion 5) of the growth pot 2, the end of the insertion portion 1b is bent or curved so that the lateral width is the width of the notch portion 5. The display tag 1 of the embodiment shown in the figure has a cutting portion that divides the tip from the end of the insertion portion 1b toward the display portion 1a rather than the notch portion 6 provided in the insertion portion 1b. 7 is formed. For this reason, the end of the insertion portion 1b can move in a direction where the cut end surface of the cutting portion 7 approaches and overlaps, and this movement moves the end of the insertion portion 1b in substantially the same plane. It is no longer necessary to increase the thickness of the insertion portion 1b as in the case where the end of the insertion portion 1b is bent or curved. When the display tag 1 is inserted into the growth pot 2, the side surface of the growth pot 2 is removed. Since the insertion part 1b inserted along does not need to be bent or curved, the culture soil 3 constituting the root pot of the plant 4 is not destroyed.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the attachment work when the notch 6 of the display tag 1 and the notch 5 of the growing pot 2 are locked is simplified on the front end side of the notch 6 of the insertion part 1b. Therefore, an insertion portion 8 is formed in which the width of the end of the insertion portion 1b is narrower than the width of the notch 5, and this insertion portion 8 is continuous as the width of the insertion portion 1b near the notch portion 6 approaches the tip. And it becomes the shape which becomes narrow.

  Therefore, when the insertion portion 1b of the display tag 1 is inserted along the side surface of the growth pot 2 so that the culture soil 3 is not destroyed, the insertion portion 8 is not cut into the growth pot 2 while the insertion portion 1b is not deformed. If the display tag 1 is further pushed in, the insertion portion 8 applies a force to push both ends of the notch 5 of the growth pot 2, while the end of the insertion portion 1 b divided by the cutting portion 7 becomes the cutting portion 7. The cut end surfaces of the slabs approach and move in the overlapping direction to narrow the lateral width. Eventually, when the notch 6 is inserted until it is positioned at the notch 5 of the growth pot 2, the end of the insertion part 1b that has moved in the direction in which the cutting part 7 overlaps returns to the initial state. 5 can be locked. During this time, only the operation of inserting the display tag 1 is performed. There is no need for the user to narrow the end of the insertion portion 1b by hand, and the insertion portion 1b is not bent or bent in advance, so that the installation work is greatly shortened. Became possible. Moreover, since the movement of the edge of the insertion part 1b at this time is a movement along the side surface of the breeding pot 2, there is no possibility that the root pot of the plant of the cultivation pot 2 will be destroyed.

  This type of display tag 1 is manufactured by printing a display portion 1a on a thin plate made of paper or synthetic resin having a predetermined area, and then cutting the outer shape by punching using a punching die. The display tag 1 shown in FIG. 2, which is an embodiment, has a predetermined width as the shape of the cutout portion 6 for locking to the growing pot 2 and the cutout portion 7 for dividing the end of the insertion portion 1b. It is formed in a slit shape. For this reason, the display tag 1 of this embodiment can be formed by punching using a simple punching die for processing the outer periphery, and it is not necessary to use a complicated die that can punch and punch holes. Die costs and punching costs can be saved. In addition, the remaining chips from which a large number of display tags 1 have been made by punching are collected together without any chips as in the case of punching holes. It is.

  Thus, when the end of the insertion part 1b divided by the cutting part 7 is inserted into the notch 5 of the growth pot 2, the end face of the cutting part 7 approaches and eventually moves so as to overlap. Since the insertion portion 1b rotates around the upper end of the cutting portion 7, the outer edge of the insertion portion 1b is pulled and twisted, and the display portion 1a above the cutting portion 7 is moved forward or backward. It moves more smoothly by moving so that it falls a little. It is preferable that the upper edge of the cutting portion 7 reaches the outside of the culture soil 3 so that the culture soil 3 rooted in the growth pot 2 is not broken by the movement that falls forward or backward.

  Further, in order to reduce the movement of the display unit 1a so that it slightly falls forward or backward, and to reduce the influence on the plant 4 and the culture soil 3 of the growing pot 2, the embodiment shown in FIG. Thus, it is effective to reduce the distance between the upper end of the cutting portion 7 and the side end of the insertion portion 1b by using two cutting portions 7. The shape of the cutting part 7 at this time is not constituted by a slit as shown in FIG. 3A, and even if it is formed in a slit shape as shown in FIG.

  That is, when two cutting parts 7 are formed as in this embodiment, among the insertion parts 8 inserted into the growth pot 2, the central insertion part 1b of the two cutting parts 7 is inserted without moving. Since only the narrow insertion portion 1b at both ends is moved, the twist applied between the upper end of the cutting portion 7 and the side end of the insertion portion 1b is weak, so that the display portion 1a falls forward or backward. The number of movements is reduced. Further, since the size of the portion to which the twist is applied is narrow, even if the display tag 1 is made of a synthetic resin having strength, the insertion portion 8 of the display tag 1 can be surely pushed into the notch 5 with a small force. I can do it now.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4 which is another embodiment, when two places are provided in parallel with the same dimensions as the notch 5 of the growing pot 2, the display tag 1 is inserted from the inside of the growing pot 2 and the tip thereof is grown. Instead of being put out to the outside of the pot 2, it can be inserted from the upper notch 5 into the inside of the growing pot 2, and further the tip can be inserted so as to come out from the lower notch 5 to the outside of the growing pot 2. In order to realize this attachment method, the notch 6 having a size to be locked to the two parallel cuts 5 is necessary, and the length of the insertion part 8 is narrower than the lateral width of the cut 5. It is necessary to be longer than the interval at which the two cuts 5 are arranged. With this structure, when the display tag 1 is attached to the growing pot 2, the insertion portion 8 is inserted into the two cuts 5, the tip jumps out from the cuts 5 on one side, and is divided by the cutting portion 7 by the subsequent insertion work. However, there is almost no fear that the state of the culture soil 3 of the plant 4 is destroyed by this movement, and the influence on the plant 4 can be reduced.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the cutting portion 7 is not a straight line, but is formed in a waveform, but in such a waveform, the force applied to the display tag 1 from the outside is divided. Even if it becomes a force that overlaps the ends of the insertion portion 1b, a part of the end of the waveform is directed toward the front and back surfaces of the insertion portion 1b, so that it is divided when the overlap is not induced by human hands. Further, the ends of the insertion portion 1b do not overlap well, and the display tag 1 becomes very difficult to be removed with respect to external conditions.

As described above, according to the structure of the display tag 1, the display tag 1 can be easily attached to the growing pot 2 and is completely fixed to the growing pot 2 and cannot be removed. The display tag 1 can be removed by a simple operation.
That is, when the display tag 1 is attached to the growth pot 2, the end of the insertion portion 1b of the display tag 1 is exposed to the outside of the growth pot 2 as shown in FIGS. The operator manually moves the tip of the insertion portion 8 in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1 to bring the end surface of the cut portion 7 of the divided insertion portion 1b closer to each other, and further move so as to overlap. The lateral width of the insertion part 1b closer to the insertion part 8 than the notch part 6 can be made narrower than the lateral width of the notch 5 of the growing pot 2, and the display tag 1 can be pulled out above the growing pot 2 as it is. At this time, since the display tag 1 is extracted along the side wall of the growing pot 2, there is almost no influence on the plant seedling of the growing pot 2.

  Since plants 4 grown from seedlings and seeds in the breeding pot 2 are shipped in large quantities when the time comes, in the current situation where the insertion work of the label 1 accompanying the mass shipment is performed manually, It is inevitable that a mistake in attaching the display tag 1 will occur due to a mistake. For this reason, it is sometimes necessary to replace the display tag 1 attached by mistake, and conventionally, the display tag 1 has been inserted into the breeding pot 2 and waited for shipment or shipped. There is also a request to change the content of the new label 1 to a content that can appeal to the purchaser. However, such replacement of the display tag 1 had to be performed with great care in consideration of the influence on the seedlings of the plant 4. Thus, the display tag 1 can be replaced very easily without affecting the seedlings of the plant 4, and a display tag for garden plants that can be easily handled by producers and sellers can be provided.

  In addition, a consumer who has purchased the breeding pot 2 to which the display tag 1 is attached removes the display tag 1 after the purchase, and the conventional display tag is attached by being bent into a V-shaped cross section at the time of the removal. Then, forcibly pulled, the display tag 1 and the growing pot 2 may be broken, or the culture soil 3 of the plant 4 may be broken. In addition, there was a fear of injury when removing the staple of the stapler in the stapler-attached display tag, but with this display tag 1, it can be easily removed with just a few hands. It has become easier to handle.

It is a perspective view which shows the state which attached the display tag of this invention to the growth pot. It is a front view of the display tag of the Example shown in FIG. 1, and a breeding pot. It is a front view of the display tag of another Example. It is a front view which shows the state which attached the display tag and the growth pot of the other Example. It is a front view of the display tag of another Example.
