Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vase for forming a flower using a fresh flower or artificial flower in a container for flowers, which is housed in a housing surrounded by supporting legs and expansion / contraction supporting means. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional vase is provided with a plurality of supporting legs 21 and 22 superposed on a supporting rod 23, and the supporting point of the polymer is pivotally supported by a bolt 25 and a wing nut 26. Vases are common.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, conventional vase uses metallurgical welding, which involves high temperature, as the method of fastening both ends of the supporting rod 23 to the supporting legs 21 and 22, so that material changes, residual stress, deformation, etc. However, there is a problem that the quality inspection is not easy. Moreover, at low temperature, there was a risk of brittle fracture.

As a material used for the vase main body, stainless steel is used in consideration of rust prevention. However, as described above, the welded portion 24 causes a material change or the like due to welding, so that the rust prevention power is reduced, Moisture during use of the container may adhere to the welded portion 24 and cause rust.

Further, in order to provide the expansion / contraction support means 27 with the parts as shown in FIG. 5, the attachment position of the support rod 23 to the support legs 21, 22 is different, and the horizontal rod 28 must also be three-dimensionally deformed. For example, when the supporting legs were opened, they did not become parallel, so we had to manufacture various parts that differed little by little. Further, the expansion / contraction support means 27 formed by providing various parts formed by welding both ends of the supporting rod 23 and the supporting legs 21 and 22 and superimposing them on the central portion of the supporting rod 23 includes a bolt 25 and a wing nut 26. Since it is pivotally supported by etc., when installing many flower vases, it was necessary to constantly adjust the butterfly nuts 26, etc., which required considerable effort.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and its purpose is that welding is unnecessary and rust does not occur. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vase that can be manufactured easily and can share the same parts without manufacturing various kinds of parts.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a plurality of support legs arranged in parallel in a ring shape in a plan view and a ring-shaped mounting portion in which a supporting stay having a tip inserted into a side wall of the support leg is wound around the support leg. An expansion / contraction supporting means which is fixed and the base end of the supporting stay is attached to an intervening member arranged in the center of the supporting leg, and a flower container which is accommodated in an accommodating portion formed by the supporting leg and the expanding / contracting supporting means. And the provision of a vase.

As a ring-shaped mounting portion, a metal belt is wound around a supporting leg, the belt root portion is polymerized, and a vertical flat portion is formed slightly on the root side from the tip insertion portion of the supporting stay. Insert the tip part between the base overlapping pieces of the attachment part into the insertion hole provided in the side wall of the supporting leg, and fix the overlapping piece and the supporting stay flat portion to each other to connect the supporting leg and the supporting stay, and at least the relative position. It is proposed to utilize expansion / contraction support means in which a pair of supporting stay root portions facing each other are non-rotatably attached to an intervening member and another supporting stay root portion is rotatably attached to an interposing member.

Further, as the expansion / contraction supporting means, it is desirable to provide a pair of supporting legs arranged in parallel in a ring shape in plan view at appropriate places on the upper and lower portions.

[0010]

【Example】

 The details of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a vase A of a typical embodiment of the present invention, which is mainly composed of a supporting leg 1, expansion / contraction supporting means 6 and 6a, and flower containers 8 and 8a.

The support legs 1a to 1f are made of metal such as iron, steel or stainless steel, or made of non-ferrous metal, or those made of plastic, and use 6 or 4 legs as shown in the figure. Each of the lower ends of 1f to 1f is bent outwardly, a non-slip cap 2 made of rubber, synthetic resin or the like is fitted to each of the front ends, and the upper ends of the supporting legs 1a to 1f are similarly similarly formed. A non-slip cap 2a is fitted so as to come into contact with the lower surface of the mouth-folded piece of the flower container 8a.

The expansion / contraction supporting means 6 and 6a support the support legs 1a to 1f in a freely expandable and contractible manner, and at the upper and lower portions of the support legs 1a to 1f so as to form the storage portions 7 and 7a for storing the flower containers 8 and 8a. A pair is provided. The upper expansion / contraction supporting means 6 has a supporting stay 5 inserted into an insertion hole described later provided in the side wall of each of the supporting legs 1a to 1f via a ring-shaped mounting portion 4 such as a metal belt wound around each supporting leg 1. 1, and the base end of the supporting station 5 is attached to an intervening member 9 arranged in the center of the supporting legs 1a to 1f. Further, the lower expansion / contraction supporting means 6a is constructed in the same manner as the upper expansion / contraction supporting means 6, but the supporting stay 5'is folded in order to form an accommodating portion 7a for accommodating the flower container 8 in a stable manner. It's tuned.

As shown in FIG. 1, the flower containers 8 and 8a are housed in appropriate places in the upper and lower parts, and in particular, the flower container 8a housed in the upper part is such that the lower surface of the mouth-folding piece is a cap 2a for preventing slippage. And a size that does not contact at least the expansion / contraction supporting means 6. Further, as the flower container 8 housed in the lower portion, a container smaller than the flower container housed in at least the upper portion is used, and the mouth folding piece may not be provided.

The expansion / contraction supporting means 6, 6a will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 (a) is a plan view of an essential part of the expansion / contraction supporting means 6, 6a in an enlarged state. FIG. 3B is a bottom view thereof. Then, a disc-shaped interposition member 9 arranged in the center of the supporting legs 1a to 1f and a base end of the supporting stays 5a to 5f formed by laterally flattening the ends are overlapped with each other to form a round shape at one end. After inserting a rod-shaped rivet with a flat, flat, pan-shaped or pan-shaped head through the drilled rivet hole, crimp the other end as shown in Fig. 3 (b) to make a permanent joint. The rivet joint 10 is formed as described above, but it is also possible to attach the rivet joint 10 with bolts, nuts or the like not shown. Further, while pressing the stacked interposition member 9 and the supporting stays 5a to 5f with two rod-shaped electrodes, a large current is passed in a short time, and the resistance heat generated on the joint surface melts the electrodes with almost the same diameter. It is also possible to attach it by spot welding, in which the part is formed and welded to the joint, so-called spot welding.

By forming such a rivet joint 10, there can be provided no protrusion and no catch, and the supporting stays 5 a and 5 d are attached non-rotatably by the two rivet joints 10. The other supporting stays 5b, 5c, 5e, and 5f are rotatably attached by the single rivet joint 10, so that they can be moved in the directions shown by the arrows, and when not used, as shown in FIG. It can be folded and stored in. Reference numeral 11 in the drawing denotes a stop 11 formed by cutting and raising the supporting stays 5b, 5c, 5e, 5f so as not to move in the direction opposite to the direction shown by the arrow.

Next, in order to attach the other ends of the supporting stays 5a to 5f to the supporting legs 1a to 1f, a metal belt or the like is placed at a position corresponding to the insertion hole 15 provided at an appropriate position of the supporting leg 1d as shown in FIG. The end portion 17 of the supporting stay 5d is wound as the ring-shaped mounting portion 4 and the vertical flat portion 18 is formed slightly on the base side of the tip insertion portion 17 of the supporting stay 5d. The insertion hole 16 is formed from between 14 into the insertion hole 15 formed in the side wall of the supporting leg 1d, and the insertion hole 16 is provided in the approximate center of the overlapping piece 14 and the hole 19 is provided in the approximate center of the flat portion 18 of the supporting stay 5d. They are completely fixed to each other by bolts 20 and nuts 28.

Thus, according to the flower vase A of the representative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, expansion / contraction support means 6 and 6a are provided at appropriate places in the upper and lower portions of each of the supporting legs 1a to 1f. Attach the supporting legs 1a to 1f so as to stand in parallel at equal intervals. If a large number of insertion holes 15 are provided at appropriate positions of the supporting legs 1a to 1f, it can be adjusted to correspond to the height of a flower or the like, and in the present invention, a pair of upper and lower expansion / contraction supporting means 6 and 6a are provided. However, in addition to this, other expansion / contraction supporting means 6 and 6a can be provided.

Next, the number of legs of the supporting legs 1a to 1f is six, but it is not particularly limited, and the vase of the present invention can be provided as long as it has at least three legs. In addition, the supporting stays 5 and 5'used for the expansion and contraction supporting means 6 and 6a are formed into a uniform shape by linearly or bending them so that various kinds of parts can be manufactured. The same parts can be shared without using.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, as the ring-shaped mounting portion, a metal belt is wound around the supporting leg, the root portion of the belt is overlapped, and a vertical flat portion is formed slightly on the root side from the tip insertion portion of the supporting stay. Insert the tip of the stay into the insertion hole provided on the side wall of the supporting leg from between the base overlapping pieces of the mounting portion, fix the overlapping piece and the supporting stay flat portion to each other, and attach a pair of supporting stay base portions facing each other. By using the expansion and contraction support means that is non-rotatably attached to the intervening member and the other pair of support stays is rotatably attached, there is no need to attach the support leg and the support stay by welding as in the past, and the material changes. Since there are no problems such as residual stress and deformation, rust will not occur if stainless steel is used as the material.

In order to form the conventional expansion / contraction supporting means, the same parts cannot be shared and many parts have to be manufactured. However, the expansion / contraction supporting means of the present invention must share the same parts. Therefore, the manufacturing process is simplified.

Also, by inserting the insertion portion provided at the tip of the supporting stay into the insertion hole provided in the support leg and fixing it by bolting, the support leg rotates even if bolt tightening is inadequate. It is possible to provide a stable vase without causing the ring-shaped mounting portion to be displaced and causing the vase main body to be twisted, and for the quality inspection to be easy, and the defective rate to be reduced.

Next, since the intervening member and the supporting stay are attached by the rivet joint, there is no sharp angle portion in the expansion / contraction supporting means, which may be caught on the human body, clothes or the like during the work, or the flower may be damaged. It is excellent in safety and convenient for transportation and other handling. Further, since the supporting stay is rotatably attached to the intervening member, the expansion / contraction work is not performed with a wing nut or the like as in the conventional case, and the labor is reduced.
