Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  The present invention relates to a cut flower container for maintaining and improving the distribution preservability of high-grade cut flowers such as Western lanterns. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

  Traditionally, cut flowers have been stored during the distribution period by directly spraying water or using large containers. It is generally known that a large amount of water is stored as a bouquet. However, recently Flower imports from overseas such as western orchids are increasing.   Especially for these high-quality cut flowers, protect the petals with thin Japanese paper etc. Flowers are distributed in a small container (see Figure 3) containing 3-5 cc of water or culture solution. Although some of the water refilling containers are used, water can only be stored for a few days, so Improvement is required.

[0003]   Also, is there a gap between the root cap and the hole for inserting the root cap provided in the cap inside the container? Evaporate liquid such as water or store cut flowers in a horizontal position, and the container is turned sideways. As a container which is sometimes prevented from leaking from this gap, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 14462/1993. There is a container shown in the report.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  The container disclosed in JP-A-3-14462 has a rubber stopper at the mouth of the container body. This rubber plug is for bending the upper flange part, Since the bending process is actually performed by heat, the accuracy of the hole for inserting the root of the cut flower is increased. Not only is it difficult to remove, but the diameter of the hole in the rubber stopper is constant, It is necessary to prepare several types according to the size, which is uneconomical. is there.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]   The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and a container main body for storing a liquid, A cut flower with a cap attached to the center of the top plate, which has a hole into which the root of the cut flower is inserted. In a container for use, a high water-absorbing polymer resin having a central hole inside the cap A container for cut flowers, characterized in that an inner stopper made of The rim of the hole of the punch is formed by a bulging part with a circular cross section through a thin part. It is a container for flowers.

[0006]

[Action]

  In the container for cut flowers of the present invention, the inner plug provided inside the cap absorbs liquid such as water. And its volume expands 2 to 5 times, the diameter of the hole of the inside plug becomes small, Stick to. Also, the rim of the hole of the cap is bulged with a circular cross section through a thin portion. Therefore, it is easy to insert the root cap, and the root cap is not damaged. .

[0007]

【Example】

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.   FIG. 1 is an enlarged explanatory sectional view of a mouth part showing an embodiment of a container for cut flowers of the present invention. The root of the cut flower is inserted in the center of the top plate 21 at the mouth of the container body 1 for storing liquid such as A cap 2 having an insertion hole 22 for holding and holding is attached.

[0008]   Here, the container body 1 is made of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, or the like. What is shape | molded by means, such as a blown hollow molding method, can be used. See you The injection molding method using polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, etc. Although it can be used by molding by means of The size of the diameter of the root crown is different by using the one molded by the shape method However, it is preferable to obtain flexibility by the stretchability of the material.

[0009]   Further, the insertion hole 22 provided with the cap 2 has a cross section with a tip through a thin portion 23. It is formed from a circular tip portion 24. Here, the insertion hole 2 is provided by providing the thin portion 23. The size of 2 can be changed, the insertion is easy, and the tip portion 24 and the root cap portion are fixed when fixed. The adhesion of is high.

[0010]   Here, the right half of FIG. 1 shows the state before filling the container body with water. A retaining plug 3 having a retaining hole 31 in the center thereof is provided inside the container 2. This retaining plug 3 is made of a highly water-absorbent polymer resin as its material, In this embodiment, a cylindrical locking piece 25 hung from the back surface of the top plate 21 of the cap 2 The circular groove 32 provided in the holding stopper 3 is fitted and locked. But Naga According to the present invention, the method of forming the retaining plug 3 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and for example, Simultaneous with molding of cap 2 by insert injection method, two-color molding method, etc. It is also possible to provide it. The super absorbent polymer resin may be, for example, For example, KI gel 20IK under the trade name of Rale Co., Ltd. can be used.

[0011]   The inside plug 3 of the holding hole 31 formed by this highly water-absorbent polymer resin has a holding hole 31. Can be much larger than the outer diameter of the root canal and absorb water as shown in the left half of FIG. The size may be such that it firmly adheres to the root crown.

[0012]   Further, in FIG. 1, 11 is below the mouth portion of the container body 1, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. The protrusion 11 is a drop-preventing protrusion protruding toward the center of the container. Provided so that the holding plug 3 does not fall into the container even if it is removed from the cap 2. It is a thing. Although four protrusions 11 are provided in this embodiment, the number of protrusions 11 is not limited to four. Also, the line connecting the tips should be slightly smaller than the outer circumference of the holding stopper 3. And a cylindrical locking piece 25 provided on the top plate 21 of the cap 1 and Due to the volume created by the wall 13 of the container body, when the retaining plug 3 absorbs water and expands And has the role of reducing the size of the holding hole 31.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

  The present invention has the above-described structure, and when the container body 1 is filled with water, the holding stopper 3 absorbs water and expands, the holding hole 31 becomes smaller, and it is tightly attached to the root portion of the cut flower. Since it retains the cloth, it not only prevents the root cap of the cut flower from coming off, but also evaporates water. And leakage when it is laid sideways can be prevented. In addition, the edge of the insertion hole of the cap has a cross section. Since it is circular and the inside is thin, it is easy to insert the root of the cut flower. (EN) Provided is a practically excellent container for cut flowers which is not damaged.
