Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flowerpot storage tray for storing and transporting a large number of flowerpots.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a flowerpot storage tray of this kind, a large number of insertion portions for accommodating each flowerpot are provided at the same depth, and after the flowerpots are accommodated in the insertion portions, they are mounted on a transportation vehicle. A flowerpot transport case that is loaded and transported to the market is known as Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 55-30123.

However, if the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the base plate of the flowerpot transport case exceed a certain dimension, they cannot be aligned and loaded on shelves or the like of transport vehicles.
Since the transportation cost by the transportation vehicle is soaring, the manufacturing cost is not larger than the manufacturing cost.

Moreover, there are large and small flower pots,
The size also limits the number of inserts provided in the flowerpot carrying case of the above size.

That is, since the flowerpot has a flange portion which projects outward from the outer peripheral edge of the upper opening and is formed so as to be wound downward, at least when the flowerpot housed in the flowerpot carrying case is taken out upward, the flowerpot can be freely moved from any position. The center distance of each insertion part is larger than the outer diameter of the flange part so that the flange parts do not overlap vertically and the size of the insertion part fits the flowerpot loosely. As many as can be accommodated in such a manner that they can be arranged according to the size of the carrying case.

However, under such a situation, it becomes necessary to prepare various kinds of flower pot carrying cases having insertion portions corresponding to various sizes of the flower pots, and the producer side needs to use unused flower pot carrying cases. It has a drawback that it requires a space for storage, and on the other hand, the manufacturer needs a mold corresponding to a flowerpot carrying case of various sizes, resulting in a high cost.

Therefore, in the present situation, for example, a flowerpot carrying case capable of accommodating eight flowerpots of which the outer diameter of the collar portion is usually used by those skilled in the art for four and five minutes. It is used to house a flowerpot with a larger outer diameter of the collar, which is 5 inches in size.

Under such a use condition, although there is no problem in the case where it is originally housed in a 5 inch dedicated flower pot carrying case, the size of the flower pot carrying case is constant as described above when it is a 5 inch flower pot. Since the transportation cost rises as described above, it is housed in a flowerpot transport case for exclusive use for four and a half minutes in order to eliminate such cost rise. The distance is only four-and-five minutes to accommodate the flower pots at intervals so that the collars do not interfere with each other.Therefore, a flower pot having a five-inch collar has an outer diameter that is significantly larger than that of the flower pot. By being different,
The collars overlap each other, and in the case of a four-and-five-minute flower pot, it is inserted loosely in the insertion part, but in a five-inch flower pot, the pot body is also one size larger overall, so it fits tightly in the insertion part. It will be housed in a shape.

[0009] Therefore, after the five-inch flower pot is stored, the flange portion is overlapped for taking it out, and since it is housed in a tight fit, the weight of the other flower pot is added to the lower flower pot. Since the posture cannot be changed to a tilted state inside the insertion part, it is not possible to take out from the lower flower pot, so only the one that overlaps with the upper part can be taken out. In the case of plants that have this, it is not possible to easily distinguish this overlapping part, and in order to distinguish the one located at the top, it is necessary to scratch the leaves one by one and search for the relevant flower pot, which is a very difficult task. It had the drawback of being troublesome.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, two kinds of flowerpots, a standard flowerpot and a comparative flowerpot, can be stored in a flowerpot tray of the same size, and the number of flowerpot trays is reduced and storage management is performed. And the storage space is reduced, the manufacturing cost is further reduced, and the comparative flower pot can be freely and easily taken out from any position, and the flower pot W falls off due to vertical vibration during transportation of the vehicle. It is intended to provide a tray for flower pots that regulates the above to prevent damage.

The accommodating recesses may be arranged in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of the flat plate portion at a center-to-center distance smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion of the comparative flower pot, or may be arbitrarily selected from a large number of accommodating recesses. The centers of the three accommodation recesses are located at the corners of the equilateral triangle, the center-to-center distance of the accommodation recesses is set smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion of the comparison flower pot, and the accommodation depth of the accommodation recess is the flange of the comparison flower pot. A height interval greater than the thickness of the part is provided.

Further, in a state where one accommodating recess is adjacent to other accommodating recesses located in two directions, three directions, four directions, five directions and six directions, accommodating recesses adjacent to two accommodating recesses are accommodated. The accommodation depth of the recess is set to the deepest, the accommodation depth of the accommodation recess next to the accommodation recess located in three directions is set to be shallow, and the accommodation depth of the accommodation recess adjacent to the next four positions is accommodated. Set a shallow depth, then set a shallow storage depth in the storage recess adjacent to the storage recess located in the five directions, and then set a shallow storage depth in the storage recess adjacent to the storage recess located in the six directions. It is set.

Further, the two accommodation recesses having the shallowest accommodation depth are set to have the same accommodation depth, and the inner peripheral shape of the accommodation recess is set so that the comparative flower pot is accommodated in a loose fitting manner.

Like the tray 1c for storage, the storage depth D is successively made shallower, so that it has the same effect, and the storage recesses adjacent to the other two-direction storage recesses 4, 4a ... In the seventh flowerpot tray 1g. Housing recesses 4e, 4f, 4g, 4 which are adjacent to the housing recesses 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and other four-direction housing recesses 4, 4a ...
h, and storage recesses 4 adjacent to the storage recesses 4, 4a ... in the other five directions
i, 4j, and the storage recesses 4k adjacent to the other six-direction storage recesses 4, 4a ... Have the same operation because the storage depth D is successively reduced similarly to the third flowerpot tray 1c. is doing.

In particular, the storage recesses 4k and 4l of the fourth flowerpot tray 1d and the storage recesses 4g and 4h of the sixth flowerpot tray 1f.
Since the flange portions W3 are in contact with each other in the vertical direction and do not overlap except in one direction, there is no hindrance to the take-out work.

Further, since the inner peripheral shape of the accommodating recesses 4, 4a ... Has a size such that the comparative flower pot Wb is accommodated in a loose fit,
The comparative flower pot Wb can be moved to the left and right and can be tilted to the side.

Further, when the comparative flower pot Wb is accommodated, since the flange portions Wb3 of the comparative flower pots Wb are provided with a height interval H that does not contact in the vertical position, the weight of the other comparative flower pot Wb is not added. Can be stored in a state, and can be freely and easily taken out from the storage recesses 4, 4a ... Not enclosed by the other comparison flower pots Wb other than the two directions, and the storage recesses 4 located in the other three directions. , 4a ... Adjacent to the accommodation recesses 4c, 4d, by making the accommodation depth D of the accommodation recess 4c shallower than the accommodation recess 4d, the comparison flower pot Wb accommodated in the accommodation recesses 4c, 4d can be freely taken out. Can be easy.

Next, in the flowerpot tray 1 according to claim 2, one storage recess 4, 4a ... Is adjacent to the storage recesses 4, 4a ... Positioned in the other two directions, and the storage recesses 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are adjacent to each other. Storage depth D
Since it is set to the deepest position, even if it is not enclosed with the other storage recesses 4, 4a ... in other than two directions, the vertical movement of the vehicle during vertical transportation prevents the plant pot W from falling out of the storage recesses 4, 4a. Since it can be regulated in the same manner as before, damage due to vibration during transportation can be prevented.

Further, the accommodating recesses 4e, 4f, 4g, which are adjacent to the accommodating recesses 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and the accommodating recesses 4, 4a ...
Since the storage depths D of 4h, 4i, and 4j are set to be shallow, the storage recesses 4e, 4f surrounded by the other storage recesses 4, 4a ...
Although 4g, 4h, 4i, and 4j are set to have a shallower storage depth D than the above, since the three directions are surrounded by the flowerpot W, the storage depth D is substantially deeper. It works effectively against falling out and prevents damage due to vibration during transportation.

Further, the accommodating recesses 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h, 4i, 4j.
The housing recesses 4k adjacent to the housing recesses 4, 4a ...
Since the storage depth D of 4l is set to be shallow, the storage recesses 4k and 4l surrounded by the other storage recesses 4, 4a in four directions are set to have a storage depth D that is shallower than that described above. Since the four directions are surrounded by the flowerpot W, the storage depth D is substantially increased, which effectively acts against the falling out of the flowerpot W and prevents damage due to vibration during transportation, and further The more flower pots are surrounded by Wb, the more
By making the storage depth D of the storage recesses 4, 4a ... Low, the comparative flowerpot Wb is located higher toward the center, and can be freely and easily taken out from any position.
