Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container for cut flower wherein water in the container never spills even when the container is tilted or rolled. SOLUTION: This container for cut flower includes a container body 10, a moisture absorbent sheet member 20 which is fixedly laid on the bottom surface part 11 of the container body 10, and a passing-supporting body 30 for cut flowers 100, made of an expanded resin of continuous air bubbles, which is fitted and fixed in a manner to close a container body opening 12 above the moisture absorbent sheet member 20. When a large amount of water is poured from the top, the water passes through the passing-supporting body 30 and is absorbed by and impregnated into a water absorbent polymer layer 21 having a water absorbent amount of approx. 800 times of the self weight, which constitutes the moisture absorbent sheet member 20, and even when the container is tilted, the water is surely prevented from being spilt, and the cut flowers 100 absorb the moisture from the moisture absorbent sheet member 20 through the leading end parts, and kept under a fresh and vivid state without withering.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cut flower container, and more particularly to a container suitable for wrapping cut flowers, for example, as a gift.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a cut flower is used for a celebration or a visit, the cut flower is appropriately wrapped, and the cut flower is placed in a suitable container such as a pot filled with water and carried.

[0003]

Therefore, when carrying, the water in the container spills and wets the wrapping paper, so that care must be taken in carrying.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to prevent water from spilling out by placing a moisture-absorbing sheet member in a container so as to absorb water. An object of the present invention is to provide a cut flower container that can be used easily without taking care of handling such as carrying.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, the present invention provides a container, a hygroscopic sheet member fixedly laid on the bottom of the container, and a container above the hygroscopic sheet member. And a cut flower insertion support made of a foamed resin material that is fitted and fixed in the body opening, and the hygroscopic sheet member is formed by sandwiching a water-absorbing polymer with a water-absorbing sheet such as a nonwoven fabric. Things.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an example of a cut flower container according to the present invention. The container has a container body, a hygroscopic sheet member, and a cut flower insertion support as constituent members thereof. The material of the container body 10 is not limited, such as a hard resin pot, a ceramic pot, a glass pot, or a vase, and the shape and structure thereof are not particularly limited as long as the upper side is open. is not. Further, the container 10 may be provided with various designs such as a pattern or coloring on the outer peripheral surface thereof by appropriate means such as printing. The container body 10 preferably has no bottom hole.

The hygroscopic sheet member 20 is made of, for example, a water-absorbing polymer (a water-absorbing polymer material such as starch or cellulose) 21 having a water absorption of about 800 times its own weight. The hygroscopic sheet member 20 may be a single layer, but is preferably laid fixedly on the bottom surface 11 of the container body 10 in a plurality of layers.

The insertion support 30 for the cut flowers 100 is made of open-celled urethane foam, has appropriate hardness and hygroscopicity, and has a thickness sufficient to insert and support the cut flowers 100. Coloring etc. is given. And
The cut flower insertion support 30 closes the opening 12 in the container body 10 at an appropriate distance from the hygroscopic sheet member 20 and is fixed via a double-sided adhesive tape 31 provided on the peripheral end surface. .

When a large amount of water is applied from above the container, water is completely applied to the water-absorbing polymer 21 layer having a weight of about 800 times the weight of the hygroscopic sheet member 20 via the cut flower support 30. Is impregnated with water. Therefore,
If the cut flower 100 is inserted from above into the insertion support 30 until it hits the tip or the hygroscopic sheet member 20, the cut flower 100 is kept inserted by the insertion support 30, and the moisture impregnated in the hygroscopic sheet member 20 is retained. By sucking up, a vivid state is maintained without withering. When the impregnated water content of the hygroscopic sheet member 20 decreases, it can be used continuously if water is supplied.

[0010]

According to the present invention, however, the water in the container is impregnated with water in the hygroscopic sheet member, the cut flowers are inserted and supported in the insertion support, and the water is absorbed by the hygroscopic sheet member. This ensures that water is not spilled even if the container is tilted or falls down when carrying it, and care must be taken when wrapping. Therefore, packaging may be simpler and more convenient in use.
