Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] "Industrial application field" The present invention is a flower vase, that is, a container for arranging fresh flowers, especially a foam (water-absorbing synthetic resin foam, hereinafter referred to as this) for flower arranging. This invention relates to a watering tool suitable for supplying water to a flower vase using a flower arranging foam (referred to as a flower arranging foam).

``Conventional technology'' Traditionally, when irrigating a vase with fresh flowers, it is necessary to consider in advance the day when the water in the vase will be low, and then use a narrow-mouthed jiro or pitcher to water the vase, or to water the vase with fresh flowers. This method was able to provide adequate watering when there were only a few fresh flowers in a large vase, but when arranging a large number of flowers in a small vase, or when there were many flowers in a large vase, water was removed. When using fresh flowers for table decorations, etc., there are disadvantages such as not knowing the amount of water to be watered and using only a small amount of water, or adding too much water and causing it to overflow and make the desk dirty. If you take them out, the way they are arranged will be disturbed, and if it is difficult to raise them, you will have to take precautions.

In addition, as a publicly known example before this application, JP-A-57-
There is Publication No. 3737, which is a "water supply device for ikebana", but it is designed to be done through multiple thin tubes from the upper water tank in a number of receivers (flower vases), but the water in the tank is The shape is just a water bottle,
Furthermore, in order to supply water from this, multiple soft tubes are used, and compared to the present invention, there is no consideration given to the appearance, and the water supply end is simply inserted into each receiver, and its structure is complicated. It is.

In addition, in the case of Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 54-97180, when cut flowers are arranged in a special arrangement of one flower each,
This is a water supply system in which each pipe is connected to each flower vase, and water is supplied from an upper tank using the siphon principle, but this is much more complicated than the proposed invention, and its usage is different. Therefore, it was unsuitable for dealing with arrangements of fresh flowers and small-sized flower baskets as proposed in the present invention.

``The problem that the invention aims to solve'' Therefore, after various research, the inventor of this invention came up with the idea of inserting fresh flowers into the vase or placed in it without removing the fresh flowers and without disturbing the fresh flowers. Insert the lower end of the tool directly into the flower arrangement form P.
An appropriate amount of water can be easily applied from the upper funnel, and the rim of the funnel is polygonal, making it a suitable device for inserting a message card, etc., and placing fresh flowers in a vase to give as a gift. It could have been done.

[Structure of the idea]

The configuration of the present invention is exactly the scope of the utility model registration claims in the specification of the present application, and will now be described in detail based on an embodiment of the present application illustrated in the drawings.

``Example'' The irrigation tool of the present invention has a foot portion 2 at the lower end of a funnel-shaped water spout that has a polygonal [triangular to hexagonal, etc. (the one shown in Figure 2 is a hexagonal)] card-insertable rim at the top. A plastic tube 3 of an appropriate length is inserted into the tube, and a vase insertion leg 4 having an irrigation diffusion protrusion 5 approximately in the center is fitted to the lower end of the tube. As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the vase insertion legs of the present application are made of plastic, etc., which are integrally molded into a cross shape with a thin plate (approximately 1 cm long) with an irrigation diffusion protrusion 5 approximately in the center. The tip is notched diagonally to form a sharp point 4', and as shown in Figure 5, a thin plate made of plastic or the like is formed into a spiral shape, and a disc-shaped irrigation diffusion protrusion is placed approximately in the center. 5, and both ends thereof are pointed 4' to serve as vase insertion legs.

Therefore, in the irrigation tool of the present invention, the upper funnel-shaped part 1, the middle plastic tube 3, and the vase insertion legs 4, 4'' inserted into the lower end are separate parts for the sake of its molding, transportation, and handling. It is molded and assembled as shown in FIG. 1 for use.

Next, to describe the mode of use of this irrigation tool, as shown in Fig. 6, a water-absorbing synthetic resin (form usually referred to as an oasis for flower arrangement) P for inserting cut flowers is housed in a vase B. The appropriate fresh flowers are inserted into this to create a flower arrangement, which absorbs water.First, the appropriate amount of water is placed in a vase, and the flower arrangement form into which the above-mentioned fresh flowers have been inserted is submerged. You can also use this irrigation tool from the beginning.

In addition, it is necessary to replenish the water that transpires from the vase B containing the fresh flowers in it after several days (daily if the vase is small), but in this case, as shown in Figure 6, the vase insertion leg 4 of this irrigation tool must be replenished. is inserted into the flower arrangement form P, and when water is injected from the upper funnel-shaped water inlet 1 using a pot or water pitcher, the water passes through the plastic tube 3 and reaches the flower vase insertion leg inserted into the lower end of the form P. Water runs along the cross-shaped thin plate or spiral thin plate 4, collides with the water dispersion protrusion 5 provided on the way, and is diffused, and the water is supplied to the flower arrangement form P on average, so that proper watering can be performed.

In addition, since the opening rim 1' of the upper funnel 1 of this irrigation tool is configured in a polygonal shape (triangular to hexagonal, etc.), the card holding piece 6, into which the message card L is inserted through the card insertion hole 7, can be inserted here. The foot part 6' can be fixed to form the form shown in Figure 8, and if given as a present, it will make the person who sees it appreciate its beauty or have a ceremonial effect (birthday gift, sick visit, etc.). ), and when watering, it is sufficient to remove the card holding piece 6 and water from the funnel 1.

Since this irrigation tool is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

[Effect of the present application]

(a) The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the form P for flower arrangement in the flower vase as a whole.
By inserting the vase insertion leg 4 of this irrigation tool into a container, you can apply appropriate amount of water from the funnel-shaped water inlet at the top, without changing the form of the fresh flowers, especially in small flower baskets, etc. Water can be applied to the water, and this can be explained from the perspective of each structure. A card (see Figures 6 and 7) into which the leg 6' of L can be inserted has aesthetic and ceremonial effects.

(c) The vase insertion legs 4, 4'' provided at the bottom of the present invention have irrigation diffusion protrusions 5 formed at appropriate locations, and their tips 4' are sharply formed, so that the tips can be inserted into the vase. flower arrangement form P
etc., and when inserting this for irrigation, the water supply is diffused by the irrigation water diffusion protrusion 5 rather than supplying water at once from the irrigation tube 3 directly, and the vase insertion leg itself also diffuses the water supply. Because it is in a form that can be used for irrigation, there is a difference in diffusion, similar to the difference between applying watering water directly to the plant through a water spout (a porous hole) and applying water with a porous water spout. has
In addition, when watering a small flower basket or the like, the flower arrangement form P installed therein is easily watered, and the desk surface on which the flower vase is placed will not be soiled.

(d) In addition, the irrigation tool of the present invention has a funnel-shaped water inlet 1 and a hard plastic tube 3 attached to the lower end of the funnel-shaped water inlet 3 and a vase insertion leg 4, 4'' having a sharp end portion 4' that fits therein, each disassembled separately. Since it can be assembled, it is extremely convenient in terms of production and handling.
