JP 2003-304959 A

  When a flower is laid in a vase or a flower stand, the flower can be stabilized when a large number of fresh flowers close to the diameter of the bottle mouth are inserted.

  However, if you insert a small number of fresh flowers compared to the diameter of a vase or a flower stand, for example, the vase or flower stand is much wider than the diameter of the fresh bouquet, and the fresh flowers are offset or tilted. It is difficult to stabilize.

  In the case of a vase with a wide opening such as a water basin, it is possible to make fresh flowers stand upright by piercing the sword with the tip of the stem, but it is not appropriate to use a sword in a vase with a narrow mouth. .

  Moreover, the instrument of patent document 1 is an instrument of the complicated structure which consists of a some component, and it is difficult to manufacture it cheaply.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide an inexpensive fresh flower holder that can stably hold a small number of fresh flowers in a vase or a flower vase.

In order to achieve the above object, a fresh flower holder according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of slits reaching the upper end along the longitudinal direction at the top of a cylindrical portion made of a thin synthetic resin material having elasticity. It is a fresh flower holder that forms tongue pieces and is bent so that these tongue pieces are overlapped toward the inside of the upper end open part of the cylindrical part , and a stem of fresh flowers inserted from above is fixed between the tongue pieces. It is characterized by that.

  According to the fresh flower holder according to the present invention, even a small number of fresh flowers can be stably held in a vase such as a vase.

It is sectional drawing of the state which inserted the fresh flower holder in the vase. It is a perspective view of the state where a fresh flower was held with a fresh flower holder. It is sectional drawing of the state which hold | maintained the fresh flower with the fresh flower holder.

The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a raw material for a fresh flower holder, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view in an assembled state. The fresh flower holder 1 is thin and made of a synthetic resin material having elasticity such as polypropylene used for a PET bottle or the like, and is made of, for example, a cylindrical tube portion 1a having upper and lower ends as open portions. By providing a large number of slits 1b and slits 1c in the longitudinal direction on the upper end peripheral wall and the lower end peripheral wall of the cylindrical part 1a, respectively, a large number of tongue pieces 1d and fins 1e are provided at the upper and lower ends in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical part 1a. It is formed until it reaches. The tongue piece 1d and the fin portion 1e are formed in parallel to each other by the slit 1b and the slit 1c, but may be made narrower toward the tip.

  In the middle portion of the upper tongue piece 1d, folds and partially thinned folds 1f and 1g are provided in parallel at two locations in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 1a. At the lower fold 1f, the tongue piece 1d is bent by a valley fold so that it is often directed outward, and at the upper fold 1g, the tongue piece 1d faces inward and is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical portion 1a. It is folded in a large mountain. And in the fold 1g, the flange-shaped 1st latching | locking part 1h protruded outside is formed. Adjacent tongue pieces 1d bent by the fold line 1g overlap each other so as to cover the open upper end portion of the cylindrical portion 1a.

  In this case, the length of each tongue piece 1d is such that the tip thereof reaches the vicinity of the center of the upper end open portion of the cylindrical portion 1a. In addition, the length of the tongue piece 1d can be adjusted so that a substantially circular opening formed by the tongue piece 1d is formed at the center of the upper end opening portion.

  Furthermore, if the fins 1e formed at the lower end of the cylindrical part 1a are slightly bent inward as they approach the tip, the vase V can be easily inserted. In addition, a fold 1i is provided in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 1a at the tip of the fin portion 1e, and the second fold 1i is formed by making a large valley fold so that the fin portion 1e faces outward. A locking portion 1j is formed. Of the fins 1e at the bottom of the fresh flower holder 1, the fins 1e to be bent at the folds 1i are not necessarily all the fins 1e, but are folded every other sheet or only the arbitrary fins 1e are folded. May be. Further, the shape of the tip of the bent fin portion 1e may be sharpened in a triangular shape.

  FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a state where the fresh flower holder 1 is inserted into a cylindrical vase. The vase V is preferably selected to have an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 1 a of the fresh flower holder 1. When the vase V is narrower than the fresh flower holder 1, the fresh flower holder 1 is inserted. I can't do that. Since a plurality of slits 1c are provided in the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 1a, when the fresh flower holder 1 is inserted into the vase V, the fin portions 1e are connected to each other even if the second locking portion 1j protrudes outward. By squeezing, the cylindrical portion 1a can be easily inserted into the vase V from the bottle mouth Va.

  In the vase V, the fresh flower holder 1 presses the tip of the second locking portion 1j against the inner wall Vb of the vase V by the elastic force of the depressed fin portion 1e. At the same time, even in the first locking portion 1h composed of the upper fold 1g extending outward, the vicinity of the fold 1g is in contact with the inner wall Vb of the vase V, so that the fresh flower holder 1 is stably in the vase V. Fixed. Then, the tip of the fin portion 1e that is not the second locking portion 1j, that is, not bent outward, reaches the bottom portion Vc of the vase V, and the height position of the fresh flower holder 1 is determined.

  In addition, the 1st latching | locking part 1h extended outside by the crease | fold 1g is not inserted in the inside of the vase V, but it is made to latch on the vase Va, and the whole fresh flower holder 1 is in the vase V. You can also avoid being depressed.

  4 is a perspective view of a state in which a fresh flower F is inserted into the vase V in which the fresh flower holder 1 shown in FIG. 3 is inserted, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view.

  When the fresh flower holder 1 is used, water is poured into the vase V, and the fresh flower holder 1 is inserted from above the vase V and fixed in the vase V. In this state, the stems S of a plurality of fresh flowers F are inserted from the upper part of the fresh flower holder 1. By inserting these stems S, the tongue piece 1d is pushed downward and a gap is formed between the tongue pieces 1d, so that the tip of the stem S can be pushed into the vicinity of the bottom Vc of the vase V.

  In this case, it is preferable that the tip of the lower fin portion 1e reaches the bottom Vc of the vase V so that the fresh flower holder 1 does not move downward in the vase V due to the insertion of the stem S. However, when the vase V is long and does not reach the bottom of the fresh flower holder 1, it is preferable to lock the first locking portion 1h on the vase mouth Va of the vase V.

  When the pushing of the stem S is finished, the bent tongue piece 1d is restored by the elasticity of the material, and the stem S located at the center is held by being surrounded by the tip of the tongue piece 1d and deviated from the center. The stem S is sandwiched and held between the adjacent tongue pieces 1d by the surface of the tongue piece 1d. In this way, the stem S does not fall with respect to the vase V, and the stem S is fixed between the tongue pieces 1d and does not move regardless of the diameter of the stem S.

  Further, when the fresh flowers F are inserted into the fresh flower holder 1, the stem S is more reliably held by adjusting the stem S of each fresh flower F to be positioned at a suitable position between the tongue pieces 1d after the insertion. Made.

  In this way, the position of the stem S is maintained by fitting the stem S between the tongue pieces 1d. Therefore, the stem S does not move, and the contact resistance by the tongue piece 1d surrounding the stem S is large in the withdrawal direction, and the stem S is difficult to escape from the fresh flower holder 1.

  Further, since the first and second engaging portions 1h and 1j are joined to the vase V, the fresh flower holder 1 does not come off from the vase V, and the fresh flower holder 1 holds the stem S of the fresh flower F. It can be held securely.

  Note that at least one of the first and second locking portions 1h, 1j and the fin portion 1e may be omitted as long as the tube portion 1a is adapted to the diameter of the vase V. In addition to the folds 1f, 1g, and 1i, in order to adjust the lengths of the tongue piece 1d and the fin portion 1e according to the size of the vase V, folds can be appropriately provided at other locations.

  Thus, by attaching the vase V to the fresh flower holder 1, the fresh flower F is securely held, and the tongue 1 d of the fresh flower holder 1 also serves as a lid of the vase V. This makes it difficult for water to evaporate and makes the fresh flowers F last longer. In addition, even when used outdoors, the fresh flowers F do not fall down due to wind and rain, and entry of dust or the like into the vase V can also be prevented.

  When the fresh flower F is withered and removed from the vase V, the fresh flower F is pulled out from the vase V together with the fresh flower holder 1, and the fresh flower F is removed from the fresh flower holder 1 and discarded. be able to.
