JPH0752985A - Container for retaining freshness of cut flower - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a container for retaining freshness which is not likely to be broken, light-weighted and excellent in water holding property by integrally molding a water stopper having a stem insertion hole for a cut flower at an upper end opening of a container having a predetermined length which has been molded of flexible resin having flexibility to prevent water leakage and air leakage. CONSTITUTION:A water stopper 2 having a stem insertion hole is integrally molded at a center opening of a container 1 having a predetermined length which is molded of flexible synthetic resin. Since a container bottom 6 is heat- fused, water leakage is completely prevented. When water 5 is put into the container and a cut flower is inserted, water leakage and air leakage is prevented, whereby a flexible center part of the container 1 begins to become dented by an amount of water sucked by the stem in the container so that a cut end of the stem keeps in contact with the water 5. The container can be used in a reversed position to retain freshness. When the stem has sucked all the water, the inside of the container keeps a vacuum state to maintain the dent, so that excessive air may not enter the stem. Thus water sucking by the stem thereafter is easy, thereby recovering its freshness.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water retaining container used for keeping the freshness of cut flowers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Containers currently used to maintain freshness include a type in which a main body is covered and a type in which packing is incorporated into the main body, but there are problems such as water leakage and slipping of packing, There is a strong demand for commercialization of a practical cut flower freshness storage container that is not easily damaged, is lightweight, has good workability when inserting a stem, and has no practical container.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been invented in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and is easy to handle, less likely to be damaged, lightweight, excellent in water retention, and has a vacuum state in the container. It is intended to provide a practical freshness-keeping container.

[0004]

The present invention has the following problems.
In order to solve the problem, by completely molding the water stopcock with the stem insertion hole of the cut flower at the upper end opening of the container having the predetermined length molded with the durable soft composite resin A container for maintaining the freshness of cut flowers, which is characterized in that the inside of the container is kept in a vacuum state.

[0005]

[Operation] The cut flower freshness storage container of the present invention prevents water leakage and air leakage because the main body and the water stopcock are integrally formed as described above, and as a result, only the amount by which the flower stem sucks up the water in the container Starting from the softest central part of the main body container, the cut end of the stalk always keeps contact with water. Therefore, it can be placed in any way such as upside down and keeps it fresh.

[0006]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described based on the examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a usage state of a cut flower freshness holding container in which water is put in the container to retain water. A main body container 1 having a predetermined length formed of a soft synthetic resin is integrally formed with a water stopcock 2 having a stem insertion hole in the central portion. The container bottom portion 6 is heat-welded to completely prevent water leakage. Prevent. However, the shape of the container body 1, the shape of the upper end opening, and the like can be arbitrarily designed.

[0007]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The container for keeping freshness of cut flowers of the present invention has continuity, and since the main body and the water stopcock are integrally molded with the soft composite resin, water leakage and air leakage can be completely prevented and the container is hardly damaged. It is lightweight and can easily absorb water into a large amount of containers at once by the dropper action. Also, when the flower stem sucks up the water in the container, the main body container is recessed by the amount sucked up and the cut end of the stem is placed upside down, etc., and always keeps contact with water, the stem has completely sucked up the water In this case, since the inside of the container is kept in a vacuum state, it keeps a dented state and does not put extra air in the stem, which has the effect of easily raising the water of the stem flowers after the fact and restoring the freshness. It is intended to provide an extremely effective cut flower freshness holding container.
