Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> The present invention relates to a flower stand. More specifically, the present invention relates to a three-legged flower stand that is used during celebrations and condolences.

《Prior art》 Traditionally, various flower stands have been used during weddings and condolences, but among these, the three-legged flower stand, commonly known as ``three-legged'', is one of the most commonly used flower stands. . These three-legged flower stands come in two types: two-tiered flower stands, which have two vases, and ones with one vase. There are two types, one called ``high instep'' and the other called ``three-legged'', which has a low vase position.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] These flower stands are usually made of bamboo and are not only heavy, but also have a rigid shape and cannot be folded. There were disadvantages in that the transport efficiency was poor when transporting over long distances, and loading and unloading by one person was extremely inefficient.

Furthermore, since the lengths of the legs of the flower stand are the same, there is a drawback that the flower stand cannot be stably installed unless it is on level ground.

Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a lightweight and easily portable flower stand.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a flower stand that is easy to disassemble and assemble and can be efficiently transported over long distances.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a flower stand that can be easily installed even on slopes or steps.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The above-mentioned objects of the present invention are to provide a flower stand having three pipes and to which a flower vase can be fixed at least at the top, in which the first pipe 3 is attached to the legs of the flower stand. It has a length adjustment function that makes the length variable, and has an angle of approximately 120° and a fixed length through a fixing member 9 having a vertical hole or protrusion near the center of the part forming the angle. The third or fifth pipe is integrally connected to the second pipe 5 having a
One of the pipes is connected to the connecting member 15
The flower stand is connected to a third pipe 6 having the same length as the pipe 5 via the fixing member 9, and the third pipe 6 is connected to the fixing member 9.
This has been achieved by a flower stand characterized by having a fixing member 11 that fits into a vertical hole or protrusion of the three pipes to integrate the three pipes as a flower stand.

The flower stand of this invention may be made of conventionally used bamboo or synthetic materials similar to bamboo, but it may also be made of strong materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). When used, it is preferable because the pipe can be made lightweight.

The configuration of the present invention will be described in detail below along with the functions of each component according to examples.

FIG. 1 is an overall view showing one example of the flower stand of the present invention, where 1 is a flower vase, 3 is a pipe with a length adjustment function, and 5 and 6 are other legs of the three legs. represents the pipes that form the in this case,
There is no problem even if pipes 5 and 6 have a length adjustment function, but it usually only increases the cost, and in practice it is only necessary that only one of the three pipes has a length adjustment function. Enough. Further, in actual use, it is preferable from the viewpoint of appearance to position a pipe having a length adjustment function at the front. Therefore, in this specification, the pipe having the adjustment function will be hereinafter referred to as the "front pipe".

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view with the vase removed. In the figure, reference numeral 7 is a screw for fixing the extendable legs, and reference numeral 9 is a screw that is integrally fixed to pipes 3 and 5, and has a vertical hole or protrusion near the center that opens at approximately 120°C. The member 11 is a fixing member that rotatably fits into the hole or protrusion of the fixing member 9 at one end and is coupled to the pipe 6 at the other end, and 13 is a protrusion provided on the fixing members 9 and 11 for fixing the vase. represents. Reference numeral 15 is a connecting member that bridges the pipes 6 and 5 in order to fix the rotatably connected pipes 6. This connecting member 15
It is also possible to have one end rotatably fixed to either pipe 5 or 6, while providing a protrusion on the other pipe and providing a notch on the other end that fits into this protrusion. It is also possible to provide independent coupling members with notches at both ends so as to be provided with protrusions on both of the protrusions 6 and fit onto both protrusions. In the case described above, the connecting member 15 is located at the rear, so it is not noticeable from the front, which is preferable. In the above example, the pipes 5 and 6 are connected to the connecting member 15
Although the case in which the pipes 3 and 6 are connected by a connecting member 15 has been shown, it goes without saying that the pipes 3 and 6 may be connected by a connecting member 15.

Similarly, the fixing member 11, which rotatably fits into the hole or protrusion of the fixing member 9, can be integrated with the pipe 6 so that it cannot be removed independently, but it can also be attached to the pipe 6 in the vertical direction. It is also possible to provide a protrusion having a hole or protrusion, and to form an independent fixing member that can fit into both the hole or protrusion and the hole or protrusion of the fixing member 9.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the pipe 6 seen from diagonally above with the pipe 6 removed. Rubber or other rubber-like elastic bodies 17 are provided at both ends of the pipe to prevent slipping on the ground surface and to prevent the pipe from sliding on the floor. It has the function of preventing damage to etc. and fixing the vase.

In this way, since the pipe 6 can be removed, it is convenient, especially when fixing the lower flower vase, since there is no need to forcefully push it between the previously fixed pipes, and it is also stable. It can be done.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the side surface of the removed pipe 6, and in this embodiment, the fixing member 11
is integrated with the pipe 6 and has a vertical hole that fits into a protrusion that the fixing member 9 has in the center.

The bottom of the vase 1 is placed inside the protrusion 13, and the upper edge is fixed by the elastic body 17.

Plastic vases are preferred because they are lightweight and easy to fix. In this case, in order to secure the vase more fully, it is preferable to fold the upper part of the vase and fit the outer side into the elastic body 17 as shown in FIG.

The movable part of the pipe 3 may be configured such that the outer pipe and the inner pipe are slidable as shown in FIG. 6, or the outer pipe and the inner pipe or rod may be screwed together. good. Further, when providing screws for fixing the length, it is preferable to provide them in locations that are difficult to see from the front.

Although this example shows the case of a two-tiered basket, those skilled in the art can easily understand that the same applies to cases where there is only one vase, "high instep", and other cases.

<<Effects of the Invention>> The flower stand of the present invention having the above-described structure is not only lightweight and easy to use, but also can be disassembled and transported, thereby significantly improving transport efficiency.

Furthermore, since the flower stand of the present invention is substantially formed from two parts, one with two integrated legs and the third leg, assembly and disassembly can be carried out extremely quickly. The variable length of the top and front legs makes it easy to install on slopes and stairs, and therefore many stands need to be quickly decorated and put away under highly restrictive conditions. Suitable as a flower stand for celebrations and condolences.
