JP5802122B2 - Fresh flower transport container and lid used for fresh flower transport container - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a fresh flower transport container and a lid used for a fresh flower transport container, and in particular, a fresh flower that is likely to be produced during transportation or storage by continuously supplying water for water retention to fresh flowers even during transport or storage. The present invention relates to a container for transporting fresh flowers and a lid used for a container for transporting fresh flowers, which can prevent drying and wilting of the water and prevent water for water retention from leaking to the outside even if it is turned over.

  When transporting fresh flowers, especially cut flowers, from the production area to the wholesale market, and from the wholesale market to the dealers, most use flat cardboard boxes, and store the cut flowers lying in the box. However, since no water is supplied to the cut flowers during transportation, it is difficult to keep the freshness of the cut flowers until reaching the destination.

  Therefore, conventionally, a method of storing water for water retention in a container and inserting cut flowers into the container for transportation is conceivable, and a container suitable for the transportation method has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

  This container is formed into an elongated plant storage container main body by detachably engaging the opening peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the upper container with the bottom opening opened to the opening peripheral edge of the waterproof lower container with the top open, A water supply hole is provided in the lower container or the upper container.

  However, in the case of the container as described above, if the container falls over during transportation or storage, the water inside the container flows out, and if the water cannot be replenished, the stored cut flowers may dry or wither. However, there is a problem that the commercial value is lost. In addition, there is a problem that the water flowing out of the container pollutes the surroundings. Furthermore, since it is necessary to always use the container in an upright state so that water does not flow out of the container body, it must be bulky during transportation and storage, and there is a problem that the transportation amount and storage amount are restricted. It was.

  As a solution to such a problem, there has been proposed a cut flower packaging container in which the water in the container does not flow out to the outside even if it falls (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  The container described in Patent Document 2 is configured so that a lid provided with a recess through which cut flowers can be inserted is in close contact with a cup-shaped container body, so that water inside the container remains even when the container falls. This prevents leakage to the outside.

  On the other hand, the container described in Patent Document 3 is provided with a partition portion formed with an opening for inserting cut flowers at a substantially central portion at a position above the surface of the water stored in the container body. Even if it falls, the water stored in the container body is prevented from flowing out and leaking outside.

In addition to those described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , an inner cylinder B having a lower end opening is integrally formed in the container main body A, and the container falls over. Even if the water in the container body A flows into the space C between the inner wall surface of the container body A and the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder, the water in the container body A is prevented from flowing out and leaking outside. It has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 4). In addition, the code | symbol D in a figure shows the discharge part for discharging the water in a container after use of a container, This discharge part D is integrally formed with the container main body A, and it is opened by excising a convex part. The When reusing (injecting water), it is blocked with a stopper.

  However, in the case described in Patent Document 2, in the state that the container is overturned, the stem end portion of the cut flower is held in the storage portion, so that water is not supplied to the cut flower. The freshness of cut flowers cannot be maintained. Even when the container falls, even if it tries to supply water to the stem end of the cut flower and enough water is put inside the container body, when it falls, the water leaks to the outside and stains the surroundings. The problem that water cannot be supplied to an edge part arises.

  Moreover, in what was described in the said patent document 3, a cut flower is supported only by the opening part of a partition plate, and since a partition plate has only slight thickness, a cut flower is not fully hold | maintained, For this reason There is a problem in that it easily tilts during transportation, etc., and the cut flowers come into contact with adjacent cut flowers and are damaged.

  In addition, the main purpose is to prevent the outflow of water when the container falls over, with the partition plate, not the idea of transporting the container while it is overturned, and the container is always used in an upright state. Therefore, as in the case of the container described in Patent Document 1, there is a problem in that it must be bulky at the time of transportation and storage, and is restricted by the transportation amount and the storage amount. .

  In addition, since water does not flow out to the outside by the partition plate even if it falls, it seems that it can be used even when the container is turned over, but as described above, the cut flowers are supported only by the opening of the partition plate. Therefore, if it is used by being overturned, the cut flower itself is weighted on the part in contact with the opening, and the opening does not have sufficient thickness, so the cut flower is damaged at the part in contact with the opening, and the commercial value There is a problem that will be damaged.

  On the other hand, in the thing of the said patent document 4, although there is no problem in the thing of the above-mentioned patent document 3, there existed another problem as follows.

  In other words, since the inner cylinder is provided integrally with the container body, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of containers having different inner diameters corresponding to different types of cut flowers and various bundle thicknesses. There is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the container increases accordingly.

  Moreover, since the inner cylinder does not expand and contract, it is necessary to finely adjust the thickness of the bundle of cut flowers to match the inner diameter of the inner cylinder, which is inconvenient to handle. That is, if the thickness of the bundle is larger than the inner diameter of the inner cylinder, forcibly inserting the bundle into the inner cylinder will hurt the cut flower stem, and conversely if the thickness of the bundle is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner cylinder, The cut flower is likely to be inclined, and the same problem as that described in Patent Document 3 occurs. For this reason, when inserting the bundle into the inner cylinder, it is necessary to finely adjust the thickness of the bundle by thinning or adding several cut flowers. It was a thing.

  Further, since the inner cylinder and the container main body are integrally formed, there is a problem that even when the containers are stacked (stacked) when not in use, the container is quite bulky and inconvenient for transportation and storage.

  Furthermore, since the inner cylinder and the container main body are integrally formed, a drain outlet for discharging the water in the container main body is formed separately after use, and the drain outlet is closed during use. There is a problem that handling means is inferior, handling workability is inferior, and manufacturing cost increases.

  Also, with this type of container, it is necessary to increase the water depth (distance from the bottom of the container to the water surface) as much as possible so that fresh flowers can be landed satisfactorily when standing. Since it is necessary to reduce the water depth (distance from the container side surface to the water surface) so as not to leak outside, it is also necessary to reduce the transport weight as much as possible. The bottom surface of the opposing container A has a narrow area to increase the water depth at the time of standing up (increase the water level of water). On the other hand, by taking a large space C, the liquid level of water at the time of falling is lowered as much as possible. Is designed so that the water level does not reach the inner cylinder B. For this reason, as mentioned above, the bottom area must be extremely narrow compared to the top, so when standing, it lacks stability, and if the height of fresh flowers is high, it easily falls over, As a result, there was a problem of damaging fresh flowers and damaging their commercial value.

  In view of such problems, the applicant of this patent application always supplies water for water retention to fresh flowers even during transportation and storage, and prevents drying and wilting of fresh flowers that are likely to occur during transportation and storage. Of course, it has excellent stability at the time of standing up, and even if it falls down, water for water retention does not leak to the outside, and can be transported and stored in a so-called side-by-side state. Proposing a container for transporting fresh flowers that can save space during storage, is easy to handle, does not increase manufacturing costs, and requires only a small amount of water for water retention and can reduce transport weight. (See Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6).

Utility Model Registration No. 3055663 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-135474 JP 2002-154589 A JP 2003-292077 A JP 2004-059041 A JP 2006-199306 A

  The container described in Patent Document 5 described above holds a container body for storing water for retaining fresh flowers, and a bundle of fresh flowers in an upright state with respect to the bottom surface of the container body, and water leaks from the container body during a fall. The container body is provided with an opening on the top surface, the lid is attachable to the opening of the container body in a watertight state, and is provided with a fresh flower holding cylinder extending into the container body. The total amount of water can be retained in the space between the container main body and the fresh flower holding cylinder. The container is provided with a holding cylinder support means for preventing the holding cylinder from collapsing when the fresh flowers are inserted, and a holding cylinder sinking for preventing the fresh flower holding cylinder from sinking to the side wall contacting the floor surface when falling. Preventive means are provided at appropriate positions on the inner surface of the container body.

  This container eliminates the problems of the conventional techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 by having the above-described configuration, and is demanded from the market for this type of container. In other words, as mentioned above, the water supply water is always supplied during transportation and storage, the fresh flowers are prevented from drying and wilting, the stability when standing up, the water retention water is prevented from leaking when falling, It is possible to respond to the achievement of the transportation and storage, the space saving at the time of transportation and storage, the excellent handling, the low production cost, the reduction of the transportation weight by reducing the amount of water for water retention, and the like.

  However, the market demands for products are usually unknown, and the field of this type of container is no exception, and the market has further handling requirements in addition to the above requirements. There is a demand for ease and reduction of manufacturing costs.

  In view of this point, the applicant of the present patent application has proposed and further developed the container and lid described in Patent Document 6.

  In the fresh flower transport container described in Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 described above, the fresh flower holding cylinder is formed in a bellows shape and can be expanded and contracted in the circumferential direction, so that a bundle of fresh flowers inserted into the fresh flower holding cylinder. Can be suitably held. However, it is difficult to form the fresh flower holding cylinder in a bellows shape. In addition, since the fresh flower holding tube has a bellows shape, in a state where the fresh flower transporting container is tilted, a receiving member is provided on the container body to support the fresh flower holding tube (see Patent Document 5) or on the lid. It is necessary to provide a bulging portion in contact with the side wall of the container body (see Patent Document 6).

  The present invention was devised in view of such circumstances, and continues to supply water for water retention to fresh flowers even during transportation and storage, thereby preventing the drying and wiping of fresh flowers that are likely to occur during transportation and storage. It is possible to prevent and prevent the water for water retention from leaking to the outside even if it is overturned, and it can be transported and stored in a horizontally stacked state, and of course, space saving during transportation and storage can also be achieved. In addition, the present invention provides a container for transporting fresh flowers and a container used for transporting fresh flowers, which is easier to handle, can use a general-purpose container body, and does not increase the manufacturing cost.

In the present invention, an opening is provided on the upper surface, and a container main body that stores water for retaining water in an amount necessary for preventing the drying and wiping of the fresh flowers that occur during transportation and storage of the fresh flowers, and the container main body. The bunch of fresh flowers is held upright with respect to the bottom surface of the container main body, and includes a lid that prevents the water from leaking out of the container main body at the time of falling, and the lid is watertight against the opening of the container main body. It is possible to attach to the state, and a living flower holding cylinder extending from the top surface portion into the container body is provided, and when falling, the entire amount of water can be retained in the space between the container body and the flower holding cylinder, The fresh flower holding cylinder supports a holding cylinder made of a suspended surface that prevents the fresh flower holding cylinder from collapsing when the fresh flower is inserted, and prevents the fresh flower holding cylinder from sinking to the side where the container body contacts the floor surface when falling. Part, said top surface part and holding cylinder support part Boundary portion provided with the chamfered portion that is chamfered, the lid, pulling out preventing piece for preventing the pull-out together from fresh flowers holding barrel that holds the fresh flower bunch inserted into the fresh flower retained barrel It is characterized by being provided inward from the outer peripheral part of the lower end edge of the fresh flower holding cylinder .

In addition, the present invention is formed corresponding to the shape of the opening provided on the upper surface of the container body for storing the amount of water for water retention necessary for preventing the drying and wiping of the fresh flowers that occur during transportation and storage of the fresh flowers. A lid that holds the bunch of fresh flowers put in the container body in an upright state with respect to the bottom surface of the container body, and prevents the water from leaking out of the container body at the time of falling, the container body A fresh flower holding cylinder that can be mounted in a watertight state on the opening of the container and extending from the top surface portion into the container body is provided, and when falling, the total amount of the water is a space between the container body and the fresh flower holding cylinder. The fresh flower holding tube prevents the posture of the fresh flower holding tube from collapsing when the fresh flower is inserted, and prevents the fresh flower holding tube from sinking to the side where the container main body comes into contact with the floor surface when falling. The holding cylinder support part consisting of the lower surface and the front Boundary between the top portion and the holding cylinder support portion has a chamfered portion chamfered, the lid, both for dropping off from the fresh flower holding barrel that holds the fresh flower bunch inserted into the fresh flower holding tube An anti-extraction piece for preventing the flower is provided inward from the outer peripheral portion of the lower end edge of the fresh flower holding cylinder .

  According to these inventions, when the standing flower is standing, its lower end is immersed in water, so that water is retained. On the other hand, at the time of falling, the lower end of the fresh flower is not immersed in water, but water is retained by water vapor generated from the water. In addition, at the time of the fall, all the water in the container main body stays in the space between the container main body and the fresh flower holding cylinder, and the lid is mounted in a watertight state on the opening of the container main body. Water in the container body does not leak outside through the fresh flower holding cylinder, the boundary between the container body and the lid, or the like.

  In addition, since the holding cylinder support portion is provided, the inclination of the fresh flowers is completely prevented when standing, and the fresh flower holding cylinder is bent by the weight of the fresh flowers when falling, and as a result, the fresh flowers are held. It is possible to prevent the lower end edge of the cylinder from being submerged in the water in the container main body and the water from leaking outside through the fresh flower holding cylinder.

  Furthermore, since the holding cylinder support portion is provided not on the container body side but on the lid side, it is possible to prevent the posture of the fresh flower holding cylinder from collapsing when inserting fresh flowers without securing the strength of the container body. At the same time, it is possible to prevent the fresh flower holding cylinder from sinking to the side where the container main body contacts the floor surface during the fall. That is, in the case where the holding cylinder support portion is provided in the container main body as in the container disclosed in Patent Document 5, in order to be able to sufficiently withstand the weight of the fresh flowers received through the fresh flower holding cylinder when falling. However, it was necessary to ensure the strength of the container body by making the container body thicker than a general-purpose container body that does not have any holding cylinder support, but the holding cylinder support is provided on the lid side. Thus, it is sufficient to secure the strength that can withstand the weight of the fresh flowers at the time of falling, and the strength required for the container body is reduced by that amount. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the container body thick in order to ensure the strength, which can contribute to weight reduction and cost reduction. Moreover, if a lid | cover can be attached to the opening part of a container main body in a watertight state, it can apply to various container main bodies.

  Furthermore, the holding cylinder support part is composed of a drooping lower surface, and is extremely easy to manufacture as compared with the case of forming a bellows shape. And since it has a chamfered portion chamfered at the boundary between the top surface portion of the lid and the holding cylinder support portion, the weight of the bunch of fresh flowers is Since it is distributed and distributed to both of the chamfered portions, it is not necessary to provide a receiving member on the container main body to support the fresh flower holding cylinder, or to provide a bulging portion in contact with the side wall of the container main body on the lid. Therefore, the structure is simple, the manufacturing is easy, and the cost can be reduced. In this case, when the lid is formed of a synthetic resin, the chamfered portion is bent by the weight of the bundle of fresh flowers in a state where the fresh flower transport container is tilted, and thus the function of supporting the fresh flower holding cylinder is further enhanced.

  In the lid used in the container for transporting fresh flowers or the container for transporting fresh flowers having the above-described configuration, a removal preventing piece for holding a bundle of fresh flowers inserted into the fresh flower holding tube and preventing the fresh flower from being removed from the fresh flower holding tube Providing inward from the outer periphery of the lower end edge of the holding cylinder, the bunch of fresh flowers is securely held, the standing posture of the fresh flowers is stabilized, and the fresh flowers are prevented from falling out of the container for transporting fresh flowers at the time of loading and unloading. The

  In the present invention, the lid may be formed of a synthetic resin, and the removal preventing piece may be integrally formed with the fresh flower holding cylinder.

  In this case, since the fresh flower holding cylinder and the removal preventing piece are integrally formed, the production is easy and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since the strength of the connection between the fresh flower holding cylinder and the removal prevention piece is secured, the problem of water leaking from the boundary part between the fresh flower holding cylinder and the removal prevention piece due to deterioration due to frequency of use or secular change is avoided. can do.

  In addition, the fresh flower holding tube may be formed in a skirt shape so that the lids can be stacked.

  Thereby, the storage space of the container at the time of non-use can be reduced, and it can contribute to space saving.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to continuously supply water for water retention to fresh flowers even during transportation and storage, and to prevent the fresh flowers from drying and wilting that are likely to occur during transportation and storage. Even if it is made, water for water retention does not leak to the outside, and it can be transported and stored in a so-called horizontal state, so that space saving during transportation and storage can also be achieved.

  In addition, since it is a fresh flower transport container composed of a lid and a container body, and a lid formed corresponding to the container body, if a plurality of types of lids having different inner diameters of the fresh flower holding cylinders are prepared, the fresh flowers Even if the bundles have different thicknesses, the container body can be used in common regardless of the thickness. Furthermore, if the lid can be attached to the opening of the container body in a watertight state, it can be applied to a general-purpose container body. Therefore, it is easy to handle, and the manufacturing cost is not increased.

  Furthermore, since the fresh flower transport container or the fresh flower transport container having such effects can be provided with a simple configuration, it is easy to manufacture and highly convenient.

It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of the container for fresh flower transport which concerns on this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the container for fresh flower transport which concerns on this invention. It is a top view which shows the cover of the container for fresh flower transport which concerns on this invention. It is sectional drawing which shows the state which fell the container for fresh flower transport which concerns on this invention. It is a perspective view of the use condition which shows an example of the conventional container for fresh flower transport. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conventional fresh flower transport container shown in FIG. 5.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of a container 1 for transporting fresh flowers according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a container 1 for transporting fresh flowers, and FIG. 3 shows a container 1 for transporting fresh flowers. It is sectional drawing which shows the state made to fall.

  The container 1 for transporting fresh flowers includes a container main body 10 that stores water W for holding water (see FIG. 3) in an amount necessary for preventing the fresh flowers F from being dried and deflated during transport and storage of the fresh flowers F, and the container. A bundle of fresh flowers F to be put in the main body 10 is held in a standing state with respect to the bottom surface 11 of the container main body 10 and includes a lid 2 that prevents water W from leaking out of the container main body 10 at the time of falling. It is.

  The container body 10 is provided with an opening 12 on the upper surface thereof, and a lid engaging rib 14 is provided around the flange 13 around the opening 12, and the entire container body 10 is formed to be narrowed. Further, in this embodiment, the container body 10 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and has four side walls 15 and a recess 16 in the lower part of these side walls 15.

  In addition, since it has the recessed part 16, while keeping the bundle | flux of the fresh flower F suitably, even when a small amount of water is standing, the water depth (distance from the bottom surface of the container to the water surface) is ensured so that the fresh flower F can be landed satisfactorily. Can be deep. In addition, since the total amount of water is small in this way, the water depth (distance from the container side surface to the water surface) can be reduced in the event of a fall, facilitating the landing of fresh flowers F, and water leakage during the fall. It is possible to simultaneously achieve three reductions in transportation weight. Furthermore, since the recess 16 functions as a reinforcing rib, the strength of the container body 10 is increased.

  The container body 10 configured as described above is preferably molded from a transparent or translucent synthetic resin so that the water level of the water W for retaining water can be seen from the outside of the container body 10. In addition, a water level indicator may be provided at an appropriate position on the side wall 15 so that an appropriate amount of water can be supplied. The material of the container body 10 is not limited to the synthetic resin as described above. For example, the entire container body may be formed of rigid paper and a waterproof film may be provided on the surface. In that case, a transparent window may be provided in a part of the side wall 15 so that the water level (liquid level) of the water W inside can be seen from the outside of the container body 10.

  As described above, when the container body 10 is molded so that the overall shape is narrowed, a plurality of container bodies 10 can be easily stacked with each other, and the storage space when not in use is minimized. can do.

  The configuration of the container body 10 is not limited to this example as long as the lid 2 can be mounted in a watertight state.

  Moreover, in the container main body 10, you may have the cutting end holding part which hold | maintains the cutting end part of the fresh flower F in the bottom face which the lower end opening part of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 faces. In this case, since the cut end holding portion firmly holds the fresh flower F in cooperation with the fresh flower holding cylinder 21, the posture of the fresh flower F is always properly maintained regardless of the standing state or the fall state. be able to.

  Furthermore, the container body 10 may have a smooth surface that is in stable contact with an external floor surface at least at a part of the side wall 15. That is, by forming the cross-sectional shape of the container main body 10 into a saddle shape, a rectangle, a polygon, a triangle, or the like, it is possible to prevent the container main body from rolling at the time of falling without using a separate instrument or the like. Moreover, the side wall 15 of the container body 10 may have a plurality of grooves 15a that increase the strength and have a decorative effect.

  The lid 2 is formed so as to correspond to the opening 12 of the container body 10, can be attached to the opening 12 in a watertight state, and holds fresh flowers extending from the top surface 20 into the container body 10. A cylinder 21 is provided. The lid 2 is provided with a fitting rib 22 that fits around the lid engaging rib 14 of the container body 10 around the lid 2.

  The lid 2 is made of synthetic resin from the viewpoint of ease of mounting on the container body 10 and securing lightness and strength.

  The fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is formed in a stenosis, and the length and the degree of squeezing of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 are such that the lower end thereof does not fall below the water level for water retention during a fall, and It is set appropriately so that a bundle of a desired amount of fresh flowers F can be inserted and the bundle can be held. As described above, when the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is formed in a narrow shape, a plurality of lids 2 can be stacked when not in use, and storage space can be saved. Furthermore, by preparing in advance a plurality of types of lids 2 having different inner diameters of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21, another lid 2 having an inner diameter that appropriately matches the thickness of the bundle of fresh flowers F; They can be exchanged and used, and the shipping work of the fresh flowers F can be facilitated.

  In addition, the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 prevents the fresh flower holding cylinder from collapsing to the outer periphery of the fresh flower holding cylinder when the fresh flower is inserted, and prevents the fresh flower holding cylinder from sinking to the side where the container body comes into contact with the floor surface when it falls. A holding cylinder support portion 23 is provided.

  The holding cylinder support portion 23 is configured so that a part of the side wall of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 forms a flat hanging surface 24. In the illustrated example, the holding cylinder support portion 23 corresponds to each side wall 15 of the container body 10. Four are provided.

  Further, the flat hanging surface 24 is formed so as to be substantially parallel to the side wall 15 of the container body 10 in a state where the lid 2 is mounted on the container body 10 (see FIG. 4). A boundary portion between the top surface portion 20 and the hanging surface 24 is chamfered to be a chamfered portion 25. Since the chamfered portion 25 is provided in this manner, the weight of the bunch of fresh flowers is distributed and distributed to both the drooping surface 24 and the chamfered portion 25 in the state where the container for transporting fresh flowers is tilted. There is no need to provide a receiving member on the container main body 10 to support the holding cylinder 21, or to provide a bulging portion or the like in contact with the side wall of the container main body 10 on the lid 2. Furthermore, the lid 2 is formed of a synthetic resin, and the chamfered portion 25 is bent by the weight of the bundle of fresh flowers when the fresh flower transport container 1 is tilted, so that the function of supporting the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is further enhanced. . Therefore, the posture of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is prevented from being collapsed when the fresh flower is inserted, and the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is prevented from unexpectedly sinking to the floor surface during a fall.

  Further, the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 is provided with a removal preventing piece 26 that holds a bundle of fresh flowers inserted into the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 and prevents the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 from being pulled out.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the removal preventing piece 26 is formed of four synthetic resin triangular thin plates extending inward from the lower end of the outer periphery of the fresh flower holding cylinder 21. Therefore, when a bunch of fresh flowers is inserted into the fresh flower holding cylinder 21, a bunch of fresh flowers (stem) is inserted between the tip portions 26a of the removal preventing pieces 26. When the bunch (stem) of fresh flowers is thus inserted between the distal end portions 26a of the removal preventing pieces 26, the removal preventing pieces 26 are pushed down by the stems, so that the distal end portions 26a of the removal preventing pieces 26 are removed. It bends inward and generates an elastic force. Since the stem is pressed by the pull-out prevention piece 26 by this elastic force, the bundle of fresh flowers inserted into the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 can be prevented from being pulled out and reliably held. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, due to the provision of the removal prevention piece 26, the water W is blocked by the removal prevention piece 26 and the drooping surface 24 in the event of a fall and overflows into the fresh flower holding cylinder 21. Is prevented.

  The removal preventing piece 26 is integrally formed with the fresh flower holding cylinder 21, and a boundary portion between the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 and the removal preventing piece 26 (in the illustrated example, the base end portion of the drooping surface 24 and the removal preventing piece 26. ) To ensure the strength of the connection. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a problem that water leaks from the boundary portion between the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 and the removal preventing piece 26 due to deterioration based on the use frequency or secular change. Further, the removal preventing piece 26 is not limited to the above-described triangular thin plate, and may be, for example, a quadrangle or a trapezoid, and may further have a tip formed in a sawtooth shape. Furthermore, the length of the removal prevention piece 26 (the height in the case of a triangle) is set to a length that contacts the inner wall 16a of the recess 16 of the container body 10 when the removal prevention piece 26 is suspended. Is preferred. This is because when set in this manner, the bunch of fresh flowers can be supported by the anti-detachment piece 26 and the inner wall 16a of the recess 16 at the time of falling.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the fresh flower transport container 1 as described above is such that the entire amount of water W can stay in the space between the container main body 10 and the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 when it falls. 2 is attached to the opening 12 of the container main body 10 in a watertight manner by the ribs 14 and 22, so that the water W in the container main body 10 is conditioned by the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 and the container main body 10 and the lid 2. It does not leak outside through boundaries. In addition, since the boundary portion between the top surface portion 20 and the hanging surface 24 is chamfered to be a chamfered portion 25, the weight of the bunch of fresh flowers is chamfered with the hanging surface 24 when the flower transport container 1 is tilted. It is distributed and distributed to both of the parts 25, and the fresh flower holding cylinder 21 can be reliably supported.

  In addition, the code | symbol L in a figure shows a floor surface.

  The present invention continuously supplies water for water retention to fresh flowers even during transportation and storage, and prevents drying and wilting of the fresh flowers that are likely to occur during transportation and storage, and also for retaining water even if it is overturned. The present invention can be applied to a container for transporting fresh flowers and a cover used for a container for transporting fresh flowers, in which water does not leak to the outside.
