Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a cylinder for protecting a flower part while a fresh flower shipped from a producer is transported, and in particular, a stack of flower protection cylinders capable of packaging fresh flowers in a short time. Regarding the body

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When the fresh flowers are shipped from the producer, the fresh flowers are cut into long stems, for example, about 1 m, about 20 flowers of the same type are bundled, and 5 bundles are put in an appropriate box and placed on the market. Have been shipped to. In particular, fresh flowers are treated with care so as not to damage the flower parts because the beauty of the flowers has commercial value.

That is, during transportation, the flower parts may be rubbed against each other and damaged, or the flowers may fall off, resulting in loss of commercial value. Also, the fresher the fresh flowers, the more active the evaporation of water vapor from the leaves, and if water droplets generated by steaming inside the box attach to the flowers, that part of the petals will turn black. It may happen that the product value is lost.

Therefore, in order to protect the flowers being transported in this way, there is a sheet-shaped tube body that can reduce the contact between the bundles by covering the flowers. The tubular body is formed of a material such as synthetic resin into a tapered tubular shape that is wide open upward. Then, as described above, about 20 flowers are bundled, and the cut end is inserted into the cylinder through the opening edge of the wide mouth to cover the periphery of the flower. Therefore, the wide mouth opening of the cylinder is opened beforehand, and the bouquet is inserted while holding this cylinder in some way.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, it is difficult to insert a bunch of fresh flowers into this cylinder, which is difficult to handle at the time of shipment, and it is especially difficult to open the cylinder by opening the wide mouth edge of the cylinder. Because it must be done, two people must work together. In other words, for flower producers who ship large numbers of fresh flowers quickly at one time, it is a very time-consuming and time-consuming task to cover individual bundles with these cylinders at the time of shipping, and this decreases productivity. This leads to higher costs.

In view of the above, according to the present invention, a laminated body of flower-protecting cylinders capable of easily inserting fresh flowers at the time of shipping fresh flowers and processing a large amount of fresh flowers with the cylinder in a short time. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a technical means for solving the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a sheet-shaped tube body having a wide opening upward for inserting a fresh flower and protecting a flower part is laminated, A protruding end is formed on a half circumference of the wide mouth opening edge of the body, and a perforation is formed on the protruding end along the remaining half circumference wide mouth opening edge which is not formed with the protruding end. By stacking multiple sheets in a certain direction, fixing the overhanging ends to each other, opening the cylinder at the outermost surface to form a fresh flower insertable, and inserting the fresh flower into the cylinder with the perforations. We created a laminate of flower protection cylinders that were formed separately.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above-mentioned laminated body of flower protection cylinders, the protruding ends formed on the half circumference of the cylinder that is wide open upward are fixed together, so that the cylindrical body without the protruding end is formed. The wide mouth opening edge on the half circumference side is openable. Therefore, by holding this wide mouth opening edge with one hand and expanding it toward you, you can open the tube and insert the bouquet held with one hand from the opening to wrap and protect the flower part with the tube. It Further, by pulling the bundle of fresh flowers downward, the tubular body is separated from the projecting end. For this reason, it is not necessary for two persons or a single person to insert it into the cylinder body with time and labor. In addition, by forming the ventilation hole in the entire cylinder, it is possible to prevent the cylinder from being filled with vapor in the state where the flowers are packed.

[0009]

【Example】

 Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with respect to the laminated body 1 of the flower protecting cylinder shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cylindrical laminate 1 according to the present invention. This laminated body 1 is formed by laminating a plurality of cylindrical bodies 2. Each flower protection cylinder 2 is composed of two thin front and rear sheets 5 and 10 made of polypropylene having an inverted trapezoidal shape. In other words, this tubular body 2 is such that an inverted trapezoidal sheet 10 and an inverted smaller trapezoidal sheet 5 are overlapped with their lower edges 13, 7 and left and right edges 11, 8 as well. The left and right edges 11 and 8 are welded to form a tubular shape.

The upper wide-mouth opening edge 6 of the front sheet 5 is formed to have a length of about 32 cm, the lower edge 7 is formed to have a length of about 14 cm, and the length of the seat 5 is formed to be about 45 cm. The thickness of the sheet 5 is about 20 micron, and a small vent hole 17 is formed on the surface of the sheet 5.

On the other hand, the rear seat 10 conforms to the shape of the front seat 5, and further has a projecting end portion 14 extending from the wide mouth opening edge 6 of the front seat 5 to form a substantially similar trapezoidal shape. Has been formed. The same material as the front seat 5 is used. That is, in this example, the lower edge 13 is about 14 cm like the front sheet 5, the upper edge 12 is about 34 cm, and the length of the sheet 10 is about 50 cm.

Perforations 15 extend from the left end 11 to the right end 11 of the extended overhanging end portion 14 in parallel with each other along the wide mouth opening edge 6 of the front sheet 5 at intervals of about 5 mm. It is formed over. The perforation 15 separates the rear sheet 10 from the projecting end portion 14 to separate the cut rear sheet 10a and the front sheet 5 into a cylindrical body 2a having substantially the same shape. (See FIG. 2).

Further, a plurality of, for example, about 100, the tubular bodies 2 thus formed are always laminated so that the front sheet 5 is on the surface, and the end portions 14 of the laminated rear sheet 10 are joined together. Are heat-sealed at a plurality of points and fixed to each other. As a result, the laminated end portions 14 are integrated without being displaced from each other.

The laminated body 1 has the front sheet 5 always on the uppermost surface on one side, and the wide-mouth opening edge 6 of the front sheet 5 is not always fixed to the laminated body 1 and can be freely opened. It is in an expandable state. Therefore, the tubular body 2 can be opened by holding it by hand and expanding it. Further, if the tubular body 2 is pulled downward, only the tubular body 2 a can be separated from the laminated body 1 while leaving the end portion 14. Further, such an operation can be sequentially performed.

Next, a method of wrapping a bouquet 20 of fresh flowers to be shipped using such a cylindrical laminated body 1 will be described. The laminated body 1 of the cylindrical body is suspended by fixing the end portion 14 at an appropriate height. At this time, the front seat 5 should face the operator. Next, hold the bunch 20 of fresh flowers in which the stem portion near the cut end is bundled with rubber or the like with the right hand, and hold the front sheet 5 on the outermost surface of the stacked cylinders 2 with the left hand Then, a fresh flower is inserted into the opening 16 from the cut end side.

Then, with the operation of inserting the bouquet 20 into the tubular body 2, both the tubular body 2 and the bouquet 20 are pulled downward to cut the tubular body 2 a from the laminated body 1 by the perforations 15. Then, the packaging by the tubular body 2a is completed by moving the tubular body 2a up to the flower portion. Thereafter, the flower portion of the bouquet 20 is sequentially packaged according to the same method as described above.

That is, unlike the prior art, since the tubular body 2 is fixed at a fixed position and can be opened with one hand, and the bundle 20 can be held with the other hand, the packaging work can be performed by one person. Has become. Further, since the tubular body 2a is formed so as to be separable by a predetermined pulling force and a plurality of sheets are formed in a laminated body, continuous packaging work is possible.

Further, since the vent holes 17 are formed in the sheets 5 and 10 and the water vapor generated by the fresh flowers and the unique gas escape from the cylindrical body 2a, the cylindrical body 2 is not filled. Therefore, water droplets caused by water vapor will not damage the petals, and ethylene gas will not adversely affect fresh flowers. Furthermore, in particular, by adding an additive, a bottle-proof effect (obtained by allowing water droplets to flow downward without adhering to the surface of the sheet) causes the water droplets to flow downward, so that the petals It is also possible to prevent direct contact with water.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a large number of fresh flower bouquets can be packaged in a tubular body in a short time, and at the same time, it is possible to provide a high-quality fresh flower that does not easily damage the flower part while keeping the cost down. be able to. Also, it is possible to reduce the loss of commercial value due to defective flowers during transportation.
