Description

  The present invention relates to a flower stand and a packing unit, and more particularly to a flower stand and a packing unit that can stabilize the self-standing posture of the flower stand.

  The cut flowers are accommodated in a long and narrow flower packing box made of cardboard and transported. Patent Literature 1 discloses a flower stand that is used by being incorporated in a flower packaging box. This flower stand includes a support plate in which the flower stem insertion opening is opened, a leg plate formed by bending two opposite sides of the support plate, and a water supply bag attached to the bottom surface of the support plate. The bag mouth communicates with the flower stem insertion opening of the support plate. Therefore, by inserting the base end of the flower stem of the cut flower into the water supply bag from the flower stem insertion port, the cut flower can be transported in a state where the water in the water supply bag can be absorbed.

  In this case, the flower stand is bent by folding the two opposite sides of the support plate, and the pair of leg plates are in an upright state, so that the flower stand is self-supported and water is poured into the water supply bag from the flower stem insertion port, and then incorporated into the flower packing box. .

Japanese Patent No. 3646807 (for example, paragraphs 0006 to 0009, FIGS. 1 to 4)

  However, in the conventional flower stand described above, the corrugated cardboard is folded into a U shape, so that it is easy to tilt (easy to be folded) with the folded portion (the two opposite sides of the support plate) as the base point, so that it is self-supporting. There is a problem that is unstable. For this reason, it is sometimes necessary for the operator to support the flower stand by hand when water is poured into the water supply bag.

  Note that the conventional flower stand described above employs a structure in which a plate-like reinforcing plate is installed between a pair of leg plates so as to easily maintain a self-supporting posture. However, since the reinforcing plate is installed in a posture parallel to the bent portion, the tilt (folding) based on the bent portion cannot be sufficiently suppressed. Furthermore, since the reinforcing plate is a separate part, the number of steps for assembling the flower stand is increased, and the reinforcing plate may be lost.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a flower stand and a packing unit that can stabilize the self-standing posture of the flower stand.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

  According to the flower stand of claim 1, the body member is connected to the back plate having a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front and the back plate through the first bent portion, the flower stem insertion opening is formed as an opening, and water is supplied. A support plate to which the bag is attached, a counter plate connected to the back plate via a second bent portion facing the first bent portion, and a back plate connected to a pair of third bent portions facing each other In addition, since the support plate and the pair of leg plates formed so as to be arranged between the support plate and the opposing plate are provided, the support plate can be supported from three sides by the back plate and the pair of leg plates in the assembled state. In this case, the main body member includes projecting pieces that project from the opposing side edges of the pair of leg plates, and insertion holes that are formed in the support plate and the opposing plate so that the projecting pieces can be inserted, respectively. In the assembled state, the relative positions of the support plate and the counter plate and the pair of leg plates can be fixed. That is, the state in which the support plate is supported from three sides by the back plate and the pair of leg plates can be firmly maintained. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the self-supporting posture by suppressing tilting from the bent portion.

  Examples of the material of the main body member include a paper board made of paper, a sheet or plate made of plastic (for example, polypropylene or polycarbonate), and a cardboard made of paper or plastic. The cardboard may be either single-sided cardboard or double-sided cardboard. Further, the paper board / cardboard made of paper may be any of a waterproof paper board / waterproof cardboard, a water-repellent paper board / water-repellent cardboard, a water-resistant paper board / water-resistant cardboard.

  According to the flower stand of claim 2, in addition to the effect produced by the flower stand of claim 1, the second bent portion is divided and formed, and the main body member is partitioned from the opposing plate by cutting. Since the raised piece connected to the side edge of the back plate is provided at the portion where the two bent portions are divided, the protruding piece and the raised piece can be grounded in the assembled state. That is, when the projecting piece and the second bent portion are grounded, the self-standing posture is inclined. According to claim 2, a substantially vertical self-standing posture can be formed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the flower stand from rattling in the flower packing box when the flower packing box is changed in posture between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture.

  According to the flower stand of claim 3, in addition to the effect of the flower stand of claim 2, the dimension from the first bent portion to the side edge of the support plate facing the first bent portion Since the dimension from the second bent portion to the side edge of the opposing plate facing the second bent portion is set to be substantially the same, the side edges of the support plate and the opposing plate are grounded in the assembled state. In this case, a substantially vertical self-supporting posture can be formed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the flower stand from rattling in the flower packing box when the flower packing box is changed in posture between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture.

  According to the flower stand of claim 4, in addition to the effect of the flower stand according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the main body member is an overhang projecting inward from the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening. Since the piece is provided, the flower stem of the cut flower inserted into the flower stem insertion port can be supported by the surface of the protruding piece. Therefore, it can suppress that a flower stem is damaged compared with the case where a flower stem is directly supported by the inner edge of a flower stem insertion opening.

  In this case, since the width of the overhanging piece becomes smaller toward the overhanging tip side, for example, the gap between adjacent overhanging pieces can be made smaller than in the case where the overhanging piece has the same width. it can. Therefore, the area of the whole overhang piece arranged at the inner edge of the flower stalk insertion opening can be increased accordingly, and more flower stalks can be supported on the surface.

  According to the flower stand of claim 5, in addition to the effect of the flower stand of claim 4, the support plate and the flower stem insertion port are each formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and on the side edge of the support plate Since the flower stalk insertion opening is arranged on the support plate in a posture in which the inner edge of the flower stalk insertion opening is parallel, and the overhanging pieces protrude from the inner edges of the four sides of the flower stalk insertion opening, respectively, the flower packing box is in any direction Even in the horizontal posture, it is possible to reliably form a state in which the flower stem of the cut flower is supported by the surface of the protruding piece.

  According to the flower stand of claim 6, in addition to the effect of the flower stand of claim 5, the overhanging piece has a fold that makes it easy to bend the overhanging piece toward the opposing plate. Since a plurality of juxtapositions are arranged in parallel to the inner edge, the overhanging piece can be made to follow according to the number of cut flowers inserted into the flower stem insertion opening. Therefore, the flower stem of the cut flower can be supported on the surface by the surface of the protruding piece.

  According to the flower stand of claim 7, in addition to the effect of the flower stand according to any one of claims 1 to 6, the protrusions of the pair of leg plates are respectively inserted into the insertion holes of the support plate and the opposing plate. In the mounted state (assembled state), the distance between the pair of leg plates increases as the distance from the back plate increases, making it easier to fix the relative positions of the support plate and the opposite plate and the pair of leg plates, and stabilizing the self-supporting posture. Can be

  According to the flower stand according to claim 8, in addition to the effect of the flower stand according to any one of claims 1 to 7, the main body member includes an opening for holding formed in the back plate, Since the body member can be gripped using the gripping opening and it is not necessary to have a water absorbing bag, it is possible to prevent water from overflowing from the water absorbing bag when transported or incorporated into a flower packaging box.

  The holding opening is formed in the back plate, that is, surrounded by the first bent portion, the first bent portion, and the pair of third bent portions to which the support plate, the counter plate, and the pair of leg plates are coupled. Since it is formed in the region, it is possible to use the highly rigid portion of the main body member as a handle. Therefore, the flower stand can be transported in a stable posture.

  According to the packaging unit according to claim 9, the flower packaging box is partitioned from the side plate by the notch, the top plate facing the bottom plate with a predetermined interval, the side plate connecting the bottom plate and the top plate, and the notch. And a retaining piece formed so as to protrude into the accommodation space in which the flower stand is accommodated, and the flower stand is accommodated in a posture in which the opposite plate side of the flower stand is placed on the bottom plate of the flower packing box. Since the locking piece protruding into the storage space can be engaged with the support plate of the flower stand, the packaging unit (flower packing box) can be transported in the horizontal position. In this case, it is possible to prevent the flower stand from moving toward the top plate in the accommodation space of the flower packing box with acceleration or deceleration.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, with reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2, the whole structure of the flower stand 100 in 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 1A is a front perspective view of the flower stand 100 according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a rear perspective view of the flower stand 100. FIG. 2 is a development view of the main body member 1. In FIG. 1A, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, the water supply bag 90 is schematically illustrated using a two-dot chain line.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the flower stand 100 has a flexible water supply bag 90 and a flower stem insertion opening 21 through which a bag mouth of the water supply bag 90 communicates, and a main body member 1 formed by bending cardboard. And is housed (incorporated) in the flower packing box 200 and used in a state where the proximal end of the cut flower stem ST is inserted into the water supply bag 90 from the flower stem insertion opening 21 of the main body member 1 as described later. (See FIGS. 4 and 5).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body member 1 is connected to a back plate 10 having a substantially rectangular shape in front view, and a back plate 10 having a rectangular shape in front view. 21 is opposed to the support plate 20 to which the water supply bag 90 is attached and the counter plate 30 connected to the back plate 10 via the counter plate bent side 72 opposite to the support plate bent side 71. It is connected to the back plate 10 via a pair of leg plate bent sides 73 and includes a pair of leg plates 40 arranged between the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 in the assembled state.

  The main body member 1 connects between the side edge (first connection side 74) on the back plate 10 side of the support plate 20 and the side edge (second connection side 75) on the back plate 10 side of the pair of leg plates 40. A pair of connecting plates 50a having a substantially triangular shape in front view, a side edge on the back plate 10 side (first connecting side 74) of the opposing plate 30, and a side edge on the back plate 10 side of the pair of leg plates 40 (second connecting side 75). And a pair of connecting plates 50b having a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front.

  In the present embodiment, the width dimension of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 (dimension in the left-right direction in FIG. 2) is set substantially the same, and the width dimension of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 is the width dimension of the back plate 10 ( 2 is set to a dimension larger than the lateral dimension in FIG. 2, and the side edges of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 (the right and left side edges in FIG. 2 excluding the first connection side 74) and the connection plate 50 a, The side edge of 50b is arranged on a straight line.

  The support plate bent side 71 is a bent portion between the back plate 10 and the support plate 20, and the counter plate bent side 72 is a bent portion between the back plate 10 and the counter plate 30. The curved side 73 is a bent portion between the back plate 10 and the leg plate 40, and the first connecting side 74 is a bent portion between the support plate 20 or the opposing plate 30 and the connecting plates 50a and 50b. The two connecting sides 75 are bent portions between the leg plate 40 and the connecting plates 50a and 50b.

  In the unfolded state shown in FIG. 2, folds are formed in the support plate bent side 71, the opposing plate bent side 72, the leg plate bent side 73, the first connecting side 74 and the second connecting side 75. The sides 71 to 75 are easily bent. In this embodiment, perforations (small holes continuous at a predetermined interval) are formed in the leg plate bent side 73, the first connecting side 74, and the second connecting side 75. Therefore, when the two opposite sides (leg plate bent side 73) of the back plate 10 are folded to form the pair of leg plates 40 (arranged between the support plate 20 and the opposed plate 30 facing each other), the folding is accompanied by the folding. Thus, the first connecting side 74 and the second connecting side 75 can be easily bent.

  Here, when the main body member 1 is formed in a box shape, the support plate bent side 71, the counter plate bent side 72, the leg plate bent side 73, the first connecting side 74, and the second connecting side 75 are bent. The body member 1 has a support plate bent side 71, a counter plate bent side 72, a leg plate bent side, where deformation concentrates on the intersections of the sides 71 to 75 and the bending may be hindered. 73, a crossing opening 60 formed in a circular shape when viewed from the front is provided at a portion where the first connecting side 74 and the second connecting side 75 intersect. Therefore, a raw material (corrugated cardboard) can be received in the space of the intersection opening 60, and bending of each side 71 to 75 can be easily allowed.

  The main body member 1 includes a pair of projecting pieces 41 projecting from a side edge (side edge on the upper side in FIG. 2) of the pair of leg plates 40 facing the support plate 20, and a pair of leg plates 40. A pair of projecting pieces 42 respectively projecting from a side edge facing the opposing plate 30 (a side edge on the lower side in FIG. 2), and these projecting pieces 41, 42 are supported so that they can be respectively inserted. Insertion holes 23 and 33 formed in the plate 20 and the counter plate 30 are provided. Therefore, in the assembled state, the relative positions of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 and the pair of leg plates 40 can be fixed, so that the self-standing posture of the flower stand 100 can be stabilized.

  Here, the insertion holes 23 and 33 are connected to the opening portions 23a and 33a formed as rectangular openings in the front view and the longitudinal end portions (end portions on the back plate 10 side) of the opening portions 23a and 33a. It consists of slit portions 23b and 33b formed as slits (cuts) that curve in a circular arc shape when viewed from the front. On the other hand, the projecting pieces 41 and 42 are provided with recesses (notches) in a U-shaped notch 41a and 42a on one side (back plate 10 side) of the base portion which is a connection portion with the leg plate 40.

  The width dimension of the openings 23a and 33a (dimension in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the openings 23a and 33a) and the width dimension of the cuts 41a and 42a (dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 2) are the thickness dimensions of the main body member 1 (corrugated cardboard). It is substantially equivalent to (dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 2). Further, the length dimension of the slit portions 23b and 33b (dimension in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the openings 23a and 33a) is substantially equal to the depth of the recesses (dimension in the left-right direction in FIG. 2). .

  Therefore, in a state where the projecting pieces 41 and 42 are inserted into the insertion holes 23 and 33, the cardboard near the slit portions 23b and 33b of the insertion holes 23 and 33 can be sandwiched between the recessed portions of the cuts 41a and 42a. Thereby, since the relative position of the support plate 20 and the opposing plate 30 and the leg plate 40 can be firmly fixed, when the water bag 90 is poured (see FIG. 3A), the water bag 90 is moved to the one leg plate 40. Even when leaning, the flower stand 100 can be prevented from tilting. Moreover, when an operator carries the flower stand 100, it can suppress that the protrusions 41 and 42 slip out from the insertion holes 23 and 33. FIG.

  The main body member 1 includes a gripping opening 11 formed in the back plate 10. The holding opening 11 is formed in a horizontally long (that is, long in the direction along the support plate bent side 71) long hole shape, and is disposed at a position spaced apart from the support plate bent side 71 by a predetermined distance. Therefore, when carrying the flower stand 100 or incorporating it into the flower packing box 200 (see FIG. 3), any or all of the second to fifth fingers (forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger) are gripped. While being inserted into the opening 11, the upper surface of the support plate 20 can be pressed with the first finger (thumb) to hold (hold) the flower stand 100. Thereby, since it is not necessary to have the water supply bag 90, when transporting the flower stand 100 or incorporating it into the flower packing box 200, it is possible to prevent water from overflowing from the water supply bag 90.

  In this case, the gripping opening 11 is formed in the back plate 10. That is, one side for folding the support plate 20 from the back plate 10 (support plate bent side 71), one side for folding the counter plate 30 from the back plate 10 (opposite plate bent side 72), and a pair of leg plates 40 from the back plate 10. Since the gripping opening 11 is formed in a region surrounded by two sides (leg plate bent side 73) that bend the body, the highly rigid portion of the main body member 1 can be used as a handle. Therefore, when the grasping opening 11 is grasped, the flower stand 100 can be transported in a stable posture.

  The distance between the opening 11 for gripping and the bent side 71 of the support plate (the vertical dimension in FIG. 2) is a dimension between about 10 mm and about 150 mm in consideration of the ease of holding the flower stand 100. It is preferably set. In this embodiment, the space | interval (FIG. 2 vertical direction dimension) between the opening 11 for holding | grip and the support plate bending side 71 is set to 30 mm.

  The main body member 1 includes a raised piece 12 protruding from a side edge of the back plate 10 on the counter plate 30 side. The raised piece 12 is partitioned from the opposing plate 30 by a U-shaped notch 31 in front view, and is separated from the opposing plate folding side 72 at a portion (approximately the center of the width direction of the back plate 10 (left and right direction in FIG. 2)). Connected to the side edges of the plate 10. Therefore, the raised piece 12 can be protruded toward the counter plate 30 only by bending the counter plate 30 with respect to the back plate 10 (the counter plate bent side 72 is bent) (see FIG. 1B).

  Here, in this embodiment, the projecting dimension t1 that is the dimension from the opposing plate bent side 72 to the projecting tip of the raised piece 12, and the dimension from the opposing plate bent side 72 to the projecting tip of the projecting piece 42 are shown. Since the protruding dimension t2 is set to be substantially the same (see FIG. 2), the protruding piece 42 and the raised piece 12 can be grounded in the assembled state.

  That is, when the raised piece 12 is not formed and the protruding piece 42 and the opposing plate bent side 72 (the ridge line portion between the back plate 10 and the opposing plate 30) are grounded, the flower stand 100 is in a self-standing posture. When inclined, the raised piece 12 is formed, so that a substantially vertical self-standing posture of the flower stand 100 can be formed. Therefore, as will be described later, when the flower packing box 200 is changed in posture between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture, it is possible to prevent the flower stand 100 from shaking in the flower packing box 200 (FIGS. 4 and 4). 5).

  In the present embodiment, the dimension t3 from the support plate bent side 71 to the side edge of the support plate 20 facing the support plate bent side 71 (the side edge on the upper side in FIG. 2), and the counter plate bent side 72 The dimension t4 from the side plate to the side edge (the side edge on the lower side in FIG. 2) of the counter plate 30 facing the counter plate bent side 72 is set to be substantially the same.

  Therefore, when the side edges of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 are grounded in the assembled state, the flower stand 100 can be formed in a substantially vertical self-standing posture. Therefore, as will be described later, when the flower packing box 200 is changed in posture between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture, it is possible to prevent the flower stand 100 from shaking in the flower packing box 200 (FIGS. 4 and 4). 5).

  The main body member 1 includes four projecting pieces 22 that project inward from the inner edge (each side) of the flower stem insertion opening 21. Therefore, the flower stem ST of the cut flower inserted into the flower stem insertion opening 21 can be supported by the surface of the overhanging piece 22 (see FIGS. 3B, 4 and 5). Therefore, it can suppress that the flower stem ST is damaged compared with the case where it does not have the overhanging piece 22 and supports the flower stem ST directly at the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening.

  Here, as described above, the flower stem insertion opening 21 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and the inner edge (four sides) of the flower stem insertion opening 21 is parallel to the side edge (four sides) of the support plate 20. Be placed. In this case, the overhanging pieces 22 protrude inward from the inner edges of the four sides of the flower stem insertion opening 21. Therefore, as will be described later, even when the flower packing box 200 is in the horizontal posture in any direction, it is possible to reliably form a state where the flower stem ST of the cut flower is supported by the surface of the overhanging piece 22 (see FIG. 5). ).

  In addition, the flower stem insertion port 21 is arranged to be biased toward the back plate 10 side. That is, the flower stalk insertion opening 21 with respect to the interval between the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 on the back plate 10 side (lower side in FIG. 2) and the side edge of the support plate 20 on the back plate 10 side (lower side in FIG. 2). The distance between the inner edge on the side opposite to the back plate 10 (upper side in FIG. 2) and the side edge on the side opposite to the back plate 10 (upper side in FIG. 2) of the support plate 20 is set to a large distance. As a result, as will be described later, when the flower packaging box 200 is in a horizontal posture (see FIG. 5), a distance from the water surface in the water absorption bag 90 to the inner edge of the flower stem insertion port 21 is secured, and the water supply bag 90 It is possible to suppress the water inside from spilling out from the flower stem insertion opening 21 into the flower packing box 200. In addition, the size of the flower stand 100 and the flower packing box 200 can be suppressed.

  A plurality of fold lines 22 a are arranged on the overhanging piece 22 in parallel with the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 so that the overhanging piece 22 is easily bent toward the counter plate 30 in the assembled state. Therefore, the overhanging piece 22 can be made to follow according to the number of cut flowers inserted into the flower stem insertion opening 21 (outer shape of the whole flower stem ST). Therefore, the flower stem ST of the cut flower can be supported by the surface of the overhanging piece 22 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

  In particular, in this embodiment, since the flower stem insertion opening 21 is formed in a horizontally long shape (rectangular shape), when inserting two bundles of a plurality of cut flowers, the longitudinal direction of the flower stem insertion opening 21 (FIG. 2 bundles can be arranged side by side along the (2 left-right direction), and damage to the flower stems ST of each bundle can be effectively suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, two folds 22a are formed on the overhanging piece 22 connected to the inner edge which is the long side of the flower stem insertion port 21, and is connected to the inner edge which is the short side of the flower stem insertion port 21. The overhanging piece 22 is formed with four fold lines 22a. Further, a fold line 22 a is also formed at the connecting portion between the inner edge (support plate 20) of the flower stem insertion opening 21 and the overhanging piece 22.

  In this case, the fold line 22a of the overhanging piece 22 connected to the inner edge which is the short side of the flower stem insertion opening 21 is such that the distance from the overhanging tip of the overhanging piece 22 to the first fold line 22a is larger than the interval between the fold lines 22a. Is also enlarged. Thereby, when inserting a cut flower into the flower stem insertion opening 21, the protruding piece 22 on the side connected to the short side described above can be easily bent to the opposing plate 30 side and inserted along with the insertion operation. When the cut flower is extracted, the tip of the protruding piece 22 on the side connected to the short side described above is hardly caught on the flower stem ST of the cut flower, and damage to the flower stem ST can be suppressed.

  The overhanging piece 22 is formed in a shape in which the width is reduced toward the tip end side of the overhang (that is, the farther from the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21). Therefore, for example, compared with the case where the width of the overhanging piece 22 is equal, the gap between the adjacent overhanging pieces 22 can be reduced. Accordingly, the area of the entire overhanging piece 22 (four overhanging pieces 22 in this embodiment) disposed on the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 is increased accordingly, and more flower stems ST are supported on the surface. it can.

  In this embodiment, the shape of the overhanging piece 22 is radiated from the substantially central position of the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 toward the corner of the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 (position where the long side and the short side intersect). The flower stem insertion opening 21 is formed into a shape divided (partitioned) by four straight lines (slits) extending in a straight line.

  In this case, the projecting piece 22 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in front view by dividing the projecting tip side into a straight line. Therefore, an opening having a rectangular shape in front view is formed at a substantially central position of the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 (on the protruding tip side of the protruding piece 22). Thereby, when extracting the cut flower inserted in the flower stem insertion port 21, it is hard to catch the tip of the overhanging piece 22 on the flower stem ST of the cut flower, and damage to the flower stem ST can be suppressed.

  Next, a method for assembling the flower stand 100 will be described. The assembly of the flower stand 100 is performed by bending the two opposite sides (leg plate bent side 73) of the back plate 10 from the state shown in FIG. 2 and moving the pair of leg plates 40 toward each other. Along with this displacement, the second connecting side 75 is bent in a direction in which the valley is folded (the direction in which the fold line is hidden inward), so that the first connecting side 74 is in a mountain fold direction (the fold line is outside). In this way, the support plate bent side 71 and the counter plate bent side 72 are bent, and the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 are tilted in a direction approaching the leg plate 40. That is, the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 follow the displacement of the pair of leg plates 40.

  When the pair of leg plates 40 reach between the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30, the projecting pieces 41 and 42 face the insertion holes 23 and 33 of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30. The projecting pieces 41 and 42 can be inserted into the insertion holes 23 and 33 simply by pushing the plate 20 and the counter plate 30 in the opposing direction (the approaching direction).

  Thus, it is not necessary to bend the support plate 20, the opposing plate 30 and the pair of leg plates 40 separately, and if the pair of leg plates 40 is displaced from the left and right with the right hand and the left hand in a direction close to each other (bending) ), The support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 are followed, so that the flower stand 100 can be assembled efficiently. Further, if the pair of leg plates 40 is displaced to a position where the support plate 20 and the opposing plate 30 are opposed to each other, the state is maintained even if the hand operating the leg plate 40 is released, so that the projecting pieces 41 and 42 are provided. Can be performed with both hands, and the flower stand 100 can be efficiently assembled from this point.

  In the assembled state, the interval between the pair of leg plates 40 increases as the distance from the back plate 10 (leg plate bent side 73) increases. That is, since the facing distance between the pair of leg plates 40 is increased on the side opposite to the back plate 10 (that is, the side where the opening (open portion) is formed), the self-standing posture of the flower stand 100 can be stabilized.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, a method of using the packing unit PU including the flower stand 100 and the flower packing box 200 will be described.

  3A is a front perspective view of the packing unit PU in a state before the flower stand 100 is incorporated in the flower packing box 200, and FIG. It is a front perspective view of packing unit PU in the assembled state.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the flower packaging box 200 includes a bottom plate 210, a top plate 220 that faces the bottom plate 210 at a predetermined interval, and side plates 230 a to 230 e that connect the bottom plate 210 and the top plate 220. And inner lids 240a and 240b, which are formed in an elongated box shape (rectangular shape) that can accommodate cut flowers along the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3 (a)).

  The flower packing box 200 includes a locking piece 232. The side plate 230d and the side plate 230e are formed with two cuts 231 as slits (cuts) that extend in a straight line in a direction substantially orthogonal to the ridge lines and divide the ridge lines. A portion partitioned from the side plate 230d and the side plate 230e by the notch 231 serves as a locking piece 232.

  Therefore, as will be described later, after the flower packaging box 200 is closed, the locking piece 232 can be protruded into the inside (the housing space of the flower packaging box 200 in which the flower stand 100 is housed) by being pushed in from the outside. (See FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b)).

  After assembling the flower stand 100 as described above, the flower stand 100 is installed on a work table, for example. Since the flower stand 100 installed on the work stand is self-supporting, water is poured from the flower stem insertion opening 21 into the water supply bag 90.

  As described above, in the flower stand 100, the pair of leg plates 40 is disposed between the support plate 20 and the opposed plate 30 and the projecting pieces 41 and 42 are inserted into the insertion holes 23 and 33, respectively. The support plate 20 can be supported from three directions by the back plate 10 and the pair of leg plates 40, and such a state can be firmly maintained. Therefore, it can suppress that the main body member 1 inclines from a bending part as a base point like a conventional product, and can stabilize the self-standing posture of the flower stand 100 at the time of water injection.

  Further, as described above, since the projecting piece 42 and the raised piece 12 project from the bottom surface side of the counter plate 30 with substantially the same projecting dimensions, the flower stand 100 can be in a vertical self-supporting posture. Therefore, it can suppress that the flower stand 100 falls down in response to the weight of the water poured into the water supply bag 90.

  After the water injection into the water supply bag 90 is completed, as shown in FIG. 3A, the flower stand 100 is incorporated into the flower packing box 200 installed on the placement surface G (see FIG. 4), and the flower stem ST of the cut flower Is inserted into the water supply bag 90 from the flower stem insertion opening 21 and the flower packing box 200 is closed. Thereby, a cut flower can be transported in the state which can absorb the water | moisture content in the water supply bag 90. FIG.

  When assembling the flower stand 100 in the flower packing box 200, as described above, the holding opening 90 of the back plate 10 is held so as to prevent the water from overflowing with the water supply bag 90. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the flower stand 200 has the back plate 10 facing the open side of the flower packing box 200 (that is, on the opposite side of the back plate 10 of the support plate 20 and the counter plate 30). The side edge faces the side plate 230c side of the flower packaging box 200) and is incorporated into the flower packaging box 200.

  The flower packaging box 200 is closed by closing the inner lids 240a and 240b, then closing the side plate 230e, and overlaying the side plate 230a on the side plate 230e, for example, sealing with gum tape, adhesive, stapler, or the like. It is performed by sealing by means.

  4 is a cross-sectional view of the packaging unit PU placed in a vertical posture, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the packaging unit PU placed in a horizontal posture. 4 is a state in which the bottom plate 210 of the flower packaging box 200 is placed on the placement surface G, and the lateral orientation of FIG. 5 is the side posture 230c of the flower packaging box 200 on the placement surface G. It is in the state of being placed.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the packing unit PU in which the flower packing box 200 is closed is transported in the vertical posture shown in FIG. 4 or the horizontal posture shown in FIG. 5. In this case, since the raised piece 12 protrudes from the back plate 10 in the same direction as the protruding piece 42 in the flower stand 100 as described above, the grounding of the protruding piece 42 and the raised piece 12 to the bottom plate 210 is grounded. Thus, the flower stand 100 can be made to stand in a substantially vertical posture in the vertical posture shown in FIG.

  Further, as described above, the flower stand 100 includes the dimension t3 from the back plate 10 (support plate bent side 71) to the side edge of the support plate 20 (left side in FIG. 4), and the back plate 10 (counter plate bent). Since the dimension t4 from the side 72) to the side edge (left side in FIG. 4) of the counter plate 30 is set to be substantially the same (see FIG. 2), the grounding of these side edges to the side plate 230c is shown in FIG. In the horizontal posture, the flower stand 100 can be self-supported in a substantially vertical posture.

  Therefore, when the flower packaging box 200 is laid down from the vertical posture shown in FIG. 4 to the horizontal posture shown in FIG. 5 or when the flower packaging box 200 is raised from the horizontal posture shown in FIG. 5 to the vertical posture shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent the stand 100 from rattling in the flower packing box 200.

  As described above, the flower packing box 200 is formed with the locking piece 232 so as to protrude inside. In this case, the distance between the bottom plate 210 of the flower packing box 200 and the locking piece 232 (interval in the left-right direction in FIG. 5) is the height of the flower stand 100 (from the protruding tip of the raised piece 12 to the support plate 20). Is set equal to or slightly larger than the dimension up to the upper surface (dimension in the horizontal direction in FIG. 5).

  Therefore, in a state where the flower stand 100 is housed in the flower packaging box 200 in a posture in which the counter plate 30 side is placed on the bottom plate 210 of the flower packaging box 200, the flower stand 100 is projected into the interior (accommodation space) of the flower packaging box 200. The side edge of the locking piece 232 can be made to face the upper surface of the support plate 20 of the flower stand 100. That is, both can be arranged to be engageable.

  Accordingly, the transport is performed in the state where the packing unit PU is in the horizontal position shown in FIG. 5, and the flower stand 100 is placed on the top plate 220 side (the left side in FIG. 5) of the flower packing box 200 as the transport vehicle is accelerated or decelerated. When moving toward the top plate 220, the engaging piece 232 can be engaged with the support plate 20 of the flower stand 100 to prevent the flower stand 100 from moving to the top plate 220 side. As a result, it can be safely transported without damaging the cut flowers.

  As described above, the locking piece 232 is formed by being partitioned by the two cuts 231 that extend linearly in a direction substantially orthogonal to the ridge line between the side plate 230d and the side plate 230e. The locking piece 232 and the flower stand 200 (support plate 20) can be engaged in a direction orthogonal to the bending direction of the material for causing the locking piece 232 to protrude. Therefore, when the movement of the flower stand 200 accompanying the acceleration or deceleration of the transport vehicle is restricted by the locking piece 232, the locking piece 232 can be prevented from being bent.

  Next, a flower stand in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a development view of the main body member 201 in the second embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part same as 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the main body member 201 of the flower stand in the second embodiment, the flower stem insertion opening 21 formed in the support plate 20 has an octagonal shape when viewed from the front. The number of projecting pieces 22 projecting inward from the side) is eight. A plurality (four in the present embodiment) of folds 22a are arranged in parallel at positions where the folds 22a are parallel to the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 and coincide with the adjacent overhang pieces 22. Further, a fold line 22 a is also formed at the connecting portion between the inner edge (support plate 20) of the flower stem insertion opening 21 and the overhanging piece 22. Therefore, a plurality of octagons similar to the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 are formed on the entire eight overhanging pieces 22 by the folds 22a.

  Thereby, according to the magnitude | size of the number of cut flowers inserted (outer shape of the whole flower stem ST), the overhang | projection piece 22 can be made to follow and the flower stem ST of a cut flower can be supported on the surface by the surface of the overhang piece 22. That is, this embodiment is suitable for a form in which one bundle of a plurality of cut flowers is inserted, and can effectively prevent damage to the flower stem ST regardless of the size of the outer shape of the bundle.

  In the present embodiment, eight straight lines extending radially from the substantially central position of the inner edge (octagonal shape) of the flower stem insertion opening 21 toward the corner of the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 (where each side intersects) ( The overhanging piece 22 is formed in a shape in which the flower stem insertion opening 21 is divided (divided) by a slit. That is, the overhanging piece 22 is formed in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front. Therefore, the gap between the adjacent overhanging pieces 22 can be reduced, and the area of the entire overhanging piece 22 (eight overhanging pieces 22) arranged on the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 can be increased accordingly. . Therefore, more flower stems ST can be easily supported on the surface by the overhanging piece 22.

  In this case, the interval between the folds 22 a of the overhanging piece 22 is increased as the position is closer to the distal end side of the overhanging piece 22. In this embodiment, the distance from the projecting tip of the projecting piece 22 to the first fold line 22a and the distance from the first to the second fold line are made larger than the interval between the other fold lines 22a. As a result, when inserting a cut flower into the flower stem insertion opening 21, the overhanging piece 22 can be easily bent to the opposing plate 30 side along with the insertion operation, and when the inserted cut flower is extracted, the overhanging piece 22 is easily removed. It is possible to suppress damage to the flower stem ST by making it difficult to catch the tip of the flower stem ST.

  Further, the projecting piece 22 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in front view by dividing the projecting tip side into a straight line. Therefore, an opening having an octagonal shape in front view is formed at substantially the center position of the inner edge of the flower stem insertion opening 21 (the projecting tip side of the projecting piece 22). Thereby, when extracting the cut flower inserted in the flower stem insertion port 21, it is hard to catch the tip of the overhanging piece 22 on the flower stem ST of the cut flower, and damage to the flower stem ST can be suppressed.

  The support plate 20 and the counter plate 30 of the present embodiment are provided with recesses 25 and 35 that are recessed in the same shape as the projecting pieces 41 and 42 on the side edge opposite to the back plate 10. A plurality of main body members 201 are punched from a single punching material as shown in a development view shown in FIG. Therefore, in the punching material, by allowing the protrusions 41 and 42 of the other main body member 201 to be received in the recesses 25 and 35 of one main body member 201, the size of the punching material can be reduced correspondingly. Can reduce the area required. In other words, the number of main body members 201 can be increased from a single punched material.

  Here, in the present embodiment, a projecting dimension t201 that is a dimension from the opposing plate bent side 72 to the projecting tip of the raised piece 12, and a dimension from the opposing plate bent side 72 to the projecting tip of the projecting piece 42. And the projecting dimension t202, which is substantially the same, the dimension t203 from the support plate bent side 71 to the side edge of the support plate 20 facing the support plate bent side 71, and the counter plate bent side The dimension t204 from 72 to the side edge of the counter plate 30 facing the counter plate bent side 72 is set to be substantially the same. Therefore, similarly to the case of the first embodiment described above, it is possible to prevent the flower stand from rattling in the flower packing box when the position of the flower packing box is changed between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture.
