Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This relates to flower vases for outdoor use. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditional flower vases for graves simply consisted of a tube with water placed inside it at the top of the opening. The heat from the sun from above would raise the temperature of the water, causing it to evaporate and resulting in poor flower life, causing the flowers to quickly wither and die.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a simple, removable cooling device for a vase, in which the cooling device is wrapped in a cut flower stem protection net, a cut flower insert net is fixed to the cut flower protection net, and a water temperature adjustment device is provided between an electrical cord that mimics the appearance of a plant pickaxe and an electrical outlet, which is connected to the cooling device, and which can freely adjust the water temperature in the vase by adjusting the temperature of the core cooling device.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a flower vase characterized by having a narrow bottom of the top of the bottle, handles on the sides of the bottle, and a square box surrounding the bottle to provide shade in the heat of summer. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-45038 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-17342 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In Patent Document 1, there is an issue that the structure of the electrical mechanism that suppresses temperature rise is difficult and complex, and because it uses electricity for cooling, it requires an electrical outlet and a cord for outdoor use.

[0007] In Patent Document 2, the body is covered, but because the opening is large, the heat from the sun from above quickly boils the water in hot summer days, causing the flowers to quickly wither and die.

[0008] To provide a flower vase having a simple structure and capable of keeping flowers fresh for a long time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The flower stand according to the present invention is characterized in that it is provided with a heat insulating sheet covering an opening, and the heat insulating sheet has an opening and closing part for fastening the flower together with the heat insulating sheet.

[0010] The flower stand has a body that is thick compared to the size of the opening, and the heat insulating sheet covers the upper part of the body.

[0011] The flower stand has a cover made of a heat insulating material that covers the opening. Effect of the Invention

[0012] The opening is wrapped in a heat insulating sheet, which makes it difficult for water to evaporate and blocks sunlight from entering the container. This keeps the water temperature in the container from rising, improving flower life. The flower stems are tied up with insulating sheeting so that the flowers will not move even in strong winds.

[0013] The body is covered with an insulating sheet, making it difficult for the sun's heat to enter from above.

[0014] The opening at the top of the container is covered with a lid made of insulating material, making it difficult for heat from above to penetrate into the container. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the flower vase comprises a container 1, a heat insulating sheet 2 and a lid 6.

[0017] (container) The container 1 has a circular opening 10 formed at the top. The container 1 has a body 5 that is thick compared to the size of the opening 10 . The container 1 is made up of two overlapping layers, with air gaps between the layers, providing an insulating structure. There is a flower stand pole 8 under the container 1. The shape of the container 1 can be varied in various ways as shown in FIG.

[0018] (Thermal insulation sheet) The heat insulating sheet 2 is a vinyl sheet with heat insulating paint sprayed on it. The heat insulating sheet 2 is wrapped around the entire outside of the container 1 in two layers. The heat insulating sheet 2 protrudes about 4 cm above the opening 10 of the container 1, and this protruding portion is called the opening / closing portion 3.

[0019] (lid) The lid 6 is made of a heat insulating material such as cork. The lid 6 is disk-shaped with an upper surface larger than the opening 10 and a lower surface smaller than the opening 10, so that the lid 6 fits snugly over the opening 10. The lid 6 has a hole 4 formed in the center thereof for receiving the flower stem and water 7 .

[0020] (Fastening tool) The fastener 9 includes a string-like member 91 for winding and a holding member 92 for holding the string-like member 91 in the wound state.

[0021] (How to use) The opening 3 of the heat insulating sheet 2 on the container 1 is opened and the lid 6 is fitted to the opening 10 of the container 1. Water and flower stems are poured into the holes 4 in the lid 6, the opening 3 is closed, and the flower stems and the opening 3 are tied together with a fastener 9. Insert the flower vase pole 8 into the flower vase hole on the grave to set up the flower vase.

[0022] In order to confirm the effectiveness of the flower vase of the present invention, an experiment was conducted using containers with configurations 1 to 5 on a hot summer day from July to August (maximum temperature about 35°C). The results are shown in Figure 5. 1. Only one container 2. A container 1 with a heat insulating sheet 2 wrapped around it in a single layer and the opening 3 left open 3. A container 1 with a heat insulating sheet 2 wrapped around it in a single layer and the opening and closing part 3 closed. 4. A container 1 with a heat insulating sheet 2 wrapped twice around it and an opening / closing part 3 closed 5. A container 1 wrapped twice with a heat insulating sheet 2, a heat insulating cover 6 is attached, and the opening and closing part 3 is closed.

[0023] In the vase of configuration 1, the flowers withered within about three days. In the vase of configuration 2, the flowers withered in about 6 days. In the vase of configuration 3, the flowers withered in about 10 days. In the vase of configuration 4, flowers were maintained for around 15 days. In the vase of configuration 5, flowers were maintained for around 20 days.

[0024] From the results of this experiment, the following can be seen: Between a container 1 not wrapped with a heat insulating sheet 2 and a container 1 wrapped with a single layer of heat insulating sheet 2, the container wrapped with the heat insulating sheet 2 had longer flower life. Between a container 1 wrapped in a single layer of heat insulating sheet 2 and a container 1 wrapped in a single layer of heat insulating sheet 2 with the opening / closing part 3 closed, the container with the opening / closing part 3 closed has a longer flower life. Between a container 1 wrapped in a single layer of heat insulating sheet 2 with an opening 3 closed and a container 1 wrapped in a double layer of heat insulating sheet 2 with an opening 3 closed, the container 1 wrapped in the double layer of heat insulating sheet 2 with an opening 3 closed has a longer flower life. Between a container 1 wrapped twice with a heat insulating sheet 2 and an opening 3 closed, and a container 1 with a lid 6 made of a heat insulating material attached thereto, wrapped twice with a heat insulating sheet 2 and an opening 3 closed, the container 1 with a lid 6 made of a heat insulating material attached thereto, wrapped twice with a heat insulating sheet 2 and an opening 3 closed has better flower preservation.

[0025] (Another embodiment) As can be seen from the experimental results, by closing the opening / closing part 3 without attaching the lid 6, it is possible to prevent the heat of the sun from entering through the opening 10, so that although the flowers will last a little longer than those with the lid 6, they will last longer than the conventional flower stand.
