DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034]FIG. 1 shows an unfolded sheet 1 which is sectioned into three portions 2, 3 and 4 by two fold lines 5 and 6 which extend from the top edge of the sheet and which converge with side edges 7 and 8 at point 9 of the sheet 1.

[0035] Fold line 5 is interrupted at regular intervals by three V-shaped cut-outs 10 whose edges 11 extend at an angle comprised between 30° and 50° from the fold line. The person skilled in the art will select an appropriate number of cut-outs to meet his requirements of flexibility for a given container.

[0036] Portion 4 of the sheet 1 is the surface which is designated to run against the back and / or shoulder of the user. This portion projects beyond the length of the other two portions 2 and 3 in the shape of a triangle whose edges converge at a higher extremity 12.

[0037] A first ring 13 is attached to sheet 1 at point 12 of the sheet by any appropriate method selected by the person skilled in the art from any known a...

Abstract

A container adapted for carrying long stemmed flowers includes a sheet of inherently flexible material which defines a receptacle having an aperture at its top section facilitating the insertion or removal of the flowers and a wall enveloping the flowers when they are placed in the receptacle and which tapers from top to bottom. The bottom region is of sufficiently small cross-section in order to retain the flowers when they are placed in the receptacle. The wall is adapted to receive—or itself incorporating—one or more shoulder straps long enough to enable a user of the container to carry it, in use, on his or her shoulder and/or generally diagonally across his or her back.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to containers for carrying flowers and is especially applicable to the carrying of long-stemmed flowers. REVIEW OF ART KNOWN TO THE APPLICANT(S) [0002] Typically in supermarkets, flower bunches come in a pre-wrapped envelope. These flower bunches are often difficult to carry along with other shopping articles and bags. While juggling with several shopping items, a busy shopper often accidentally damages the delicate flowers. [0003] In an attempt to prevent damage to the flowers, the shopper usually carries them in one hand and directs his or her attention to avoiding damaging them. [0004] Another drawback of the traditional flower envelope is that they are designed for a single usage. And since they are not usually recyclable, they contribute to damaging the environment. [0005] Wrapping flowers with these traditional envelopes is an operation which requires great dexterity—it is often difficult to satisfactorily attach the envelope...
