Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vase that is constituted by a package that is fitted with a stabilization system, said vase finding its application in particular in giving flowers, by making it possible to improve the presentation of the flowers when they are being given, and also to eliminate the need for is the person to whom the flowers are being given to be in possession of a suitable vase.
  • Such a package may be produced in particular by manufactures of packaging made of cardboard or of composite materials, and very particularly finds its application in commercial premises of the flower-shop type.
  • FR 1 469 650 discloses a package made of cardboard for packaging and presenting certain varieties of plants.
  • the package has the shape of a cube or even of a rectangular block, presenting in its top portion four flaps that are configured to constitute an opening through which plant stems can pass.
  • the base of the cube or of the rectangular block enables the plant to be supported.
  • the object of the invention is to design a vase that is constituted by a package that, in particular, is for receiving flowers or even any type of decorative object that presents a stem.
  • An advantage of the vase of the invention is to improve the presentation of flowers when they are being given, and to enable the person to whom the flowers are being given to be able to display said flowers without needing to possess a vase of more traditional design, e.g., made of glass or of terracotta.
  • the invention relates to a vase that is constituted by a package that includes two adjoining faces of shapes that are longitudinal, and preferably similar.
  • the two adjoining faces are directly connected together, at least at the common sides at one of the ends of their longitudinal edges, in the bottom portion.
  • the longitudinal edges are common to both faces over their entire length; however, it is possible to envisage the presence of side faces of conical shape interconnecting the two longitudinal faces, in which configuration the tips of the conical shapes constitute said ends that are common to the longitudinal edges.
  • both faces are flexible and present flap portions at both of their respective longitudinal ends, which flap portions may in particular be convex in shape.
  • flap portions may in particular be convex in shape.
  • other similar shapes such as a lozenge shape or some other shape.
  • the flap portions are suitable for being folded inwards relative to said longitudinal faces, substantially at is right angles.
  • putting the flap portions or flaps into place enables the two longitudinal faces to bulge out, creating a volume as a result of the convex or similar shape, said volume making it possible in particular for flower stems to be positioned.
  • the flap portions shut off the two longitudinal ends of the volume created in this way, thereby making it possible to close said volume in part, and to contain the stems of the flowers.
  • the two adjacent flap portions at one of the longitudinal ends of the two faces i.e., the flap portions that are situated beside the common ends of the two bottom longitudinal edges, present respective inside edges, in particular of convex or similar shape, depending on the shape of said flap portions, the inside edges constituting respective fold lines.
  • Each of the fold lines is interrupted by at least one respective cut line that curves towards the inside of the flap portion, the cut line being of concave or similar shape, for example, and presenting at least one extreme point that lies on a straight line that is defined by the two side ends of said inside edge, which side ends correspond to the common ends of the longitudinal edges.
  • said longitudinal faces present respective bearing tabs that correspond to the curved cut lines and that present extreme points that lie in the same plane as the two ends of the inside edges, that are common to the adjacent flap portions of each of the longitudinal faces, and that correspond to the common ends of the longitudinal edges.
  • the two extreme points of the bearing tabs and the two common ends are arranged in the same plane, thereby making it possible for the vase to stand in a vertical position in a suitably stable manner.
  • the two flap portions adjacent to the other longitudinal ends of the two faces, in the top portion include passage means that are arranged so as to allow flower stems or stalks in particular to pass when the vase is formed, the flap portions being positioned more or less at right angles.
  • the passage means are constituted by at least one perforation or hole in one of the adjacent flap portions, in which configuration the second flap portion slopes at slightly more than 90° relative to its longitudinal face, so as to enable stems or stalks to pass.
  • each of the adjacent flap portions it is possible to provide at least one perforation or hole in each of the adjacent flap portions, the perforations corresponding when the adjacent flap portions are arranged substantially at right angles relative to their longitudinal face, thereby enabling stems or stalks to pass through so as to be inserted in the package constituting a vase.
  • the inside edge of each of the adjacent flap portions includes a single cut line that is curved and that is arranged centrally.
  • other embodiments can be envisaged; for example, it is possible to provide two uniformly-distributed cut lines in each of the inside edges of the adjacent bottom flap portions.
  • the curved cut lines are circularly arcuate or concave in shape.
  • other shapes e.g., a triangular shape, that also make it possible to constitute extreme points that lie on the straight line that is defined by the two ends of the inside edge.
  • the two longitudinal edges of the two longitudinal faces are rectilinear and parallel to each other.
  • this makes it possible to increase the volume of the vase in its bottom portion, e.g., so as to arrange therein, flower foam into which the flower stems are pushed, or so as to arrange therein, ballast means or even water, when the flowers are real or fresh.
  • the two longitudinal edges of the faces are rectilinear and slope relative to each other, forming a cone.
  • the package on at least one of its faces, includes a transparent window that advantageously makes it possible to see the contents of said package, e.g., decorative beads or pebbles, or even the quantity of water present in the vase when said vase receives real flowers.
  • the vase includes leaktight means that are configured so as to enable said vase to receive water in which the flower stems are arranged when said flowers are real flowers. This makes it possible to keep the flowers fresh over a longer period of time.
  • the leaktight means are constituted by a leaktight pouch that is arranged inside the volume of the package.
  • the vase includes ballast means that are arranged in the volume of the package, which ballast means make it possible to stabilize the vase and to compensate for the force exerted by the weight of the flowers, which tends to cause the vase to topple over.
  • the ballast means are foam into which the ends of the flower stems can be pushed.
  • other ballast means such as water contained in the above-mentioned leaktight pouch, or even pebbles, beads, or other means.
