Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention mainly relates to the structure of the base of a Christmas tree that is packaged in a plastic molded box-like container.

(Prior Art) Among Christmas trees, which are mostly assembled and made of synthetic resin, small ones are generally housed and packaged in plastic molded box-like containers. in this case,
In addition to simply housing a Christmas tree in a container with a base fixed to the lower end of a support, there are also types in which a lid of a certain height is fitted to the bottom of the container.
A cut groove is provided from the outer periphery to the center of this lid body, and the tree support is moved laterally and integrated with the lid body,
It is known that this is fitted into a container so that the base of the support is covered from the outside by the lid, so that it appears as if it were erected from the lid, ie, the bottom of the container. However, since the latter base structure is a transparent container, the cut grooves are exposed to the outside, making it unsightly.
Because the base is smaller than the container, the support moves along the cut groove and is unstable, making it impossible to plant the tree in the center of the container, and the top of the lid accidentally flips up, making it difficult to use as a base for the tree. is inappropriate.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention provides a base structure that stably supports a Christmas tree on a planting surface, a base structure closely related to the tree, and a simpler base structure.

(Structure of the invention) This invention involves tightly fitting a base container assembled into a box shape into the inner bottom of a plastic-molded box-like container that houses a Christmas tree, and housing the base of the tree in the base container. It is characterized in that the tree support is sandwiched and planted in the center of the container by the joint edge of a substantially half-shaped lid piece that overlaps the top surface of the base container.

Hereinafter, the drawings showing the embodiments of the present invention will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the entire Christmas tree container A, in which 1 is a plastic-molded transparent box-shaped container with an opening on the top or bottom surface as a cap. It can be closed with 2. A small Christmas tree B is housed in the box-like container 1, and a base 4 is fixed to the lower end of the support 3. C is a base container for Christmas tree B, and on the four sides of the bottom plate 5 there are divided assembly pieces 8 consisting of a peripheral side part 6 of a constant height and a lid part 7 of approximately half area that abuts on the center line. It is assembled separately from each side and connected to each other via inner folding lines 9, 9a. That is, the base container C has a bottom plate 5 having the same cross-sectional shape as the box-like container 1,
The divided assembly pieces 8 are raised up from the inner fold line 9 and surrounded by the circumferential side part 6, and the lid parts 7 are respectively folded inward from the inner fold line 9a and the outer edges 7a are joined on the center line. to close the upper opening surface and close the lid part 7.
It is assembled by sequentially overlapping approximately half of the adjacent lid portion 7 on approximately half of the lid portion 7 and fixing them together. A gap is formed in the center of the upper surfaces of the overlaid and fixed containers, which serves as a support hole 10 for the tree B. Outer edge 7 of opposing lid portion 7...
Different arcs are provided in a... This is from the design point of view to create a snow-covered surface on the lid surface on which the tree is planted, and to create a support hole 10 for the pillar in the center of the lid surface. The base container C is assembled according to the procedure described above after placing the base 4 of the tree B on the bottom plate 5. The base container C assembled by passing the support column 3 through the support hole 10 is fitted and housed in the plastic container 1 together with the tree. The base container C, which is unstable in shape during assembly, is supported by the peripheral wall of the outer container 1 to form a solid three-dimensional structure, and each lid part 7, which loosely supports the pillar 3 in the support hole 10, firmly supports the pillar 3 from the outside. Moreover, the outer edge 7a of the lid part 7 is bulged on the upper surface, and the designed outer edge shape presents a snow-covered surface to form an optimal planting surface for the Christmas tree B. Although the base container C is fitted into the plastic container 1, there is also a mode in which the tree B is not housed in the container 1, and in this case, the base container C is inserted into the plastic container 1.
Wrap the outside in a band of the same width and secure. Further, the lower outer surfaces of the base container C and the container 1 may be decorated. Furthermore, the base container C may be circular or polygonal, and it is also possible to create a planting surface similar to that described above using divided assembly pieces that are overlapped and assembled.

As described above, the base structure of the Christmas tree of this invention is such that the base container assembled from the four sides of the bottom plate and separated from the other sides is housed and supported in the outer container of the same shape. Since the support is held at the center of the top surface of the base container by the outer edge of the lid that accommodates and connects the base of the tree, the Christmas tree can be stably supported on the planting surface, allowing the tree to be planted without exposing the base of the tree to the outside. It has the value of improving the appearance of the surface and also forming the planting surface to be optimal for the tree.
