Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This relates to a display stand for fresh flowers that is mainly used for ceremonial occasions. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, flower display stands for displaying bouquets have been installed at various event venues, including those for ceremonial occasions. Such flower display stands provide a beautiful view to visitors to the venue by fixing many bouquets in various positions and directions, and also play a role in supplying moisture to many bouquets for a long period of time, especially in the case of fresh flowers. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a flower display stand on which a bouquet can be arranged so that it looks beautiful in all directions. Patent Documents 3 and 4 disclose a flower display stand on which flowers can be arranged so that they look beautiful in a set position in the front-to-back direction. In particular, when it comes to a display stand for fresh flowers, it is common and widespread to display flowers by inserting them into a foam called an oasis that has absorbed water (see the descriptions in Figure 2 of Patent Document 1, Figure 2 of Patent Document 2, and Figure 3 of Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-91979 [Patent Document 2] JP 2004-350739 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2007-325678 A [Patent Document 4] JP 2001-238775 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when using water-absorbing foam as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, holes for inserting flowers remain in the water-absorbing foam after use, making it difficult to reuse, and it is often necessary to discard it (it can be reused only once or twice at most). In addition, when discarding it, the absorbed water must be squeezed out by hand before disposal, which is inconvenient because the squeezing of water is hard work. In addition, before using the water-absorbing foam, it is inconvenient that the water-absorbing foam needs to be soaked in water for a long time to be fully saturated with water. Furthermore, a flower display stand using water-absorbing foam maintains its beauty by fixing many bouquets in various positions, but the beauty (appearance) of the flower display stand often depends on the aesthetic sense (skill) of the worker. In particular, when the number of bouquets or the variety of flowers used on the flower display stand are large, the work of decorating the flower display stand has to be done by a skilled worker, which is a heavy burden.

[0005] In addition, when decorating a flower stand using multiple flower branches, it is necessary to check the position (arrangement) of the bouquet each time according to the length of the flower branches in order to arrange the overall appearance of the flower stand, which increases the time required for decoration. Furthermore, the flower stand described in Patent Documents 3 and 4 does not use water-absorbent foam, but is a type in which the flowers are arranged upright and in parallel, and is relatively large, so it is not very versatile as a general flower decoration and its uses are limited.

[0006] To solve the problems that existed in such conventional flower display stands, and to realize a flower display stand that can ensure the appearance of bouquets in a short time and uniformly regardless of the length of the multiple bouquets used and regardless of the skill of the worker. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The fresh flower display stand of the present invention comprises a container body with an opening and a lid part to be placed on the opening of the container body, in which a plurality of holes connecting the inside and outside of the container body are provided in the substrate forming the lid part, and a plurality of tubular parts are arranged in each of the holes so that the plurality of holes penetrate from the outside to the inside of the container body.

[0008] Moreover, the plurality of tubular parts may be individually formed into a first group of tubular parts fixed in a substantially vertical direction (standing upright) to the substrate of the lid part, and a second group of tubular parts fixed in an inclined state to the substrate of the lid part. Furthermore, the first group of tubular parts may include two or more tubular parts having different lengths protruding from the substrate of the lid part toward the outside of the container body. In one embodiment, at least one of the tubular parts is characterized in that a portion extending toward the inside of the container body beyond the substrate has a length of 10% or more of the entire length of the tubular part, preferably 30% or more, and more preferably 50% or more. In another embodiment, the tubular parts are provided with regularly colored marks, and preferably the marks of the tubular parts are colored according to the position in the front-rear direction of the tubular part. In another embodiment, a fixed member with a convex portion can be installed inside the container body, and a fixed cylindrical portion (one end side of a cylindrical part in the first group of cylindrical parts) can be provided on the underside of the substrate and inserted into the convex portion.

[0009] Alternatively, when the cover part is viewed as a single product as a decorative member for fresh flowers, it can be explained as the following means: That is, it comprises a plurality of tubular parts into which fresh flowers can be inserted, and a base plate to which the plurality of tubular parts are fixed, some of the plurality of tubular parts are fixed to the base plate so as to be inclined with respect to both one direction on the plane of the base plate and a direction perpendicular to the one direction, and further, some of the plurality of tubular parts have a portion extending in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate that is longer than a portion extending in the other direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate, and the other portion of the tubular parts have a portion extending in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate that is shorter than a portion extending in the other direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate. Effect of the Invention

[0010] The flower display stand of the present invention has the effect of presetting the position of insertion into the display stand according to the length of the flower branches to be displayed, thereby ensuring the appearance of the bouquet in a short time and uniformly regardless of the length of the multiple fresh flowers used and regardless of the skill of the worker.Furthermore, by giving the multiple bouquets fixed to the flower display stand width (left and right direction), depth (front and back direction), and height (up and down direction), it also has the effect of allowing for more three-dimensional decoration.

[Figure 7] 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of a flower display stand according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the fresh flower display stand of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a front view of a fresh flower display stand 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the fresh flower display stand 100 of the present invention is mainly composed of a container body 50 capable of storing water (or liquid containing nutrients) therein and a lid part 30 to be placed on an opening 51 of the container body 50 (note that only the upper part of the lid part 30 is shown in FIG. 1, and the lower part is present inside the container body 50). The lid part 30 includes cylindrical parts 10 and 20 (details will be described later). Furthermore, a fixing member 70 is installed inside the container body 50 as shown in FIG. 1, and serves to fix the lid part 30 to the opening 51 of the container body 50. Note that the lid part 30 shown in FIG. 1 is an embodiment molded from a transparent resin, but it may be molded from a non-transparent resin.

[0013] Next, a front view of the lid part 30 and the fixing member 70 constituting the flower display stand 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, respectively. For ease of viewing and explanation, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show an embodiment in which the lid part 30 is molded from a non-transparent resin. In this specification, the left-right direction as seen in FIG. 2 is called the "width direction" or "left-right direction", the direction from the tubular part 22 to the tubular part 15 as seen in FIG. 3 is called the "depth direction" or "front-rear direction", the side of the tubular part 22 is called the "front", the side of the tubular part 15 is called the "rear", and the direction perpendicular to both the left-right direction and the front-rear direction is called the vertical direction. In this lid part 30, a plurality of holes 37 that communicate the inside and outside of the container body 50 when the lid part 30 is placed in the opening 51 of the container body 50 are formed along the thickness direction of the substrate 35. (See FIG. 4 described later). In addition, a plurality of cylindrical parts 10 (11-16), 20 (21-29) are installed in the plurality of holes 37 in a state penetrating from the outside to the inside of the container body 50. The plurality of cylindrical parts 10, 20 forming the lid part 30, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, are provided with a first cylindrical part group 10 (11-16) fixed in a substantially vertical direction to the hole 37 of the substrate 35 forming the lid part 30, and a second cylindrical part group 20 (21-29) fixed in a state inclined in the left-right direction and / or the front-back direction to the hole 37 of the substrate 35. Note that "substantially vertical" means a vertical direction including an error caused by unintended circumstances such as manufacturing error, and should be interpreted as a range of at most about 3 degrees or less from the generally vertical direction. Here, an explanatory diagram for explaining the arrangement of the hole 37 of the substrate 35 is shown in Fig. 4 (a diagram created for convenience while ignoring the thickness of the cylindrical parts, etc.). As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of holes 37 are provided in the inner region of the substrate 35, and a plurality of notches 41, 42, 45, 46, and 48 are provided around the periphery of the substrate 35. The first group of tubular parts 10 (11-16) is disposed in the center of the substrate 35, and the second group of tubular parts 20 (21-29) is disposed in a more peripheral portion than the center. The second group of tubular parts 20 (21-29) is disposed so as to surround the periphery of the first group of tubular parts 10 (11-16) as shown in Fig. 3. That is, by disposing the second group of tubular parts 20 (21-29) so as to surround the periphery of the first group of tubular parts 10 (11-16), the position for inserting the branches into the display stand can be preset according to the length of the branches to be displayed, and the appearance of the bouquet can be ensured uniformly in a short time regardless of the length of the multiple fresh flowers used and regardless of the skill of the worker. Note that "surrounding the first tubular part group" does not mean that all of the tubular parts 10 in the substantially vertical direction are completely surrounded all around, but means that at least one or more tubular parts (any of 11 to 16) are arranged to be surrounded from at least three directions, the front, right side, and left side. In other words, in the drawing of FIG. 3, the three tubular parts 11, 12, and 13 are surrounded from three directions, the front, right side, and left side. In addition, even if the tubular parts 28 and 29 in FIG. 3 are changed to tubular parts extending in the substantially vertical direction, the tubular part 11 is surrounded from three directions, the front, right side, and left side, so that the state of "surrounding the first tubular part group" is satisfied.

[0014] In at least one of the multiple tubular parts 10 (11-16), 20 (21-29), the portion extending from the base plate 35 toward the inside of the container body 50 is 10% or more of the total length of the tubular part. The portion is preferably 30% or more, and more preferably 50% or more. In particular, in the tubular parts 21-23 in the front row in the depth direction, the portion extending from the base plate 35 toward the inside of the container body 50 is longer than the portion extending toward the outside. Due to these characteristics, when the flowers are inserted into the tubular parts, the stems of the flowers are firmly held inside the container body 50, so that the inclination of the flowers does not deviate significantly from the originally intended direction, and the flower arrangement as originally intended can be reproduced. In addition, the cylindrical parts (e.g., cylindrical parts 14-16, etc.) arranged on the rear side have a portion extending from the base plate 35 toward the outside of the container body 50 longer than the portion extending toward the inside, so the stems of the flowers are firmly held outside the container body 50, and similarly the inclination of the flowers does not deviate significantly from the originally intended direction. In particular, for the first cylindrical part group 10 (11-16), two or more cylindrical parts 11-16 different from each other can be arranged with the length of the parts protruding from the inside of the container body 50 toward the outside from the front side to the back side as shown in FIG. 2. That is, by arranging the first cylindrical part group 10 (11-16) fixed in an upright state and the second cylindrical part group 20 (21-29) fixed in an inclined state in the above-mentioned form, the bouquets fixed to the flower display stand can be given width (left and right direction), depth (front and back direction), and height (up and down direction), and can be decorated in a more three-dimensional manner. In the present invention, the number, arrangement positions, inclination angle in the front-rear direction (depth direction), and inclination angle in the left-right direction (width direction) of the tubular parts 10 and 20 are not limited to those in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2. These parameters should be changed to appropriate ones according to the purpose and needs, such as various ceremonies and home use.

[0015] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of protrusions 71, 72 may be provided on the fixing member 70, and a plurality of fixed tubular parts (tubular parts formed by extending one end side of the tubular parts 11, 15 in the first tubular part group 10) 75, 76 may be installed on the lower surface side of the substrate 35 in a state where they are inserted into the protrusions 71, 72. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the state where the lid part 30 is attached to the fixing member 70, and FIG. 6 shows a view from the right side. The lid part 30 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which it is molded from a transparent resin. By making the lid part 30 transparent, the tubular parts 10, 20 are difficult to see in the completed state of the flower decoration with flowers inserted, so that there is an advantageous effect that the appearance of the whole flower decoration is not impaired, but transparency is not necessarily an essential condition of the present invention. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment (front view) of a flower decoration stand when the fixing member 70 is used. As shown in FIG. 7, each of the cylindrical parts 10 (11-16) and 20 (21-29) is inserted with a bouquet of two to five suitable flower branches wrapped in a transparent wrap film. Inserting a bouquet wrapped in a transparent wrap film in this way has the advantage of making it look attractive and allowing participants to easily take the bouquet home after a ceremony or the like in which the floral decoration is used. Of course, a bouquet not wrapped in a transparent wrap film or a single flower may be inserted. If a fixing member 70 is installed inside the container body, the entire flower display stand can be stabilized even when many bouquets are inserted separately into the first cylindrical part group and the second cylindrical part group as shown in FIG. 7. In addition, the fixing member 70 has a hollow rod-shaped rear portion of the central cylindrical part 15 in the last row and a fixing screw on the side, so that a signboard such as the name or advertisement of the floral decoration provider can be inserted and fixed. Also, the lid part 30 may be fixed to the container body 50 by other means without using the fixing member 70.

[0016] In addition, by attaching marks 80 of different colors to the surfaces of the first cylindrical part group 10 (11-16) and the second cylindrical part group 20 (21-29) as shown by the numbers 80 in Fig. 2, the worker can easily and quickly insert multiple bouquets of different lengths into the appropriate cylindrical parts. In Fig. 2, for convenience, the marks 80 are numbered only on the cylindrical part 28, but in reality, the marks 80 are regularly color-coded on all the cylindrical parts 10 (11-16) and 20 (21-29). The marks 80 on the cylindrical parts are color-coded according to their positions in the front-rear direction of the cylindrical parts. That is, the cylindrical parts 21, 22, 23 in the front row in the depth direction are marked with a white mark 80, the cylindrical parts 11, 24, 25 in the center of the second row are marked with a green mark 80, the cylindrical parts 12, 13 in the center of the third row are marked with a red mark 80, the cylindrical parts 14, 15, 16, 28, 29 in the rear row are marked with a blue mark 80, and the cylindrical parts 26, 27 located on the outer periphery at the approximate center position in the depth direction (between the second and third rows) are marked with a yellow mark. In this way, the lengths of the flower branches to be inserted for each color are determined in advance. For example, white is determined to be 40 cm, green is 45 cm, yellow is 50 cm, red is 55 cm, and blue is 60 cm. By deciding in this way and documenting it in a manual as a work procedure, the worker who arranges the flowers only needs to cut the flowers to a predetermined length for each color of the marker 80 and insert them into the tubular part that corresponds to that marker 80. It is also possible to determine the type of flower for each color. If the inclination angles of all the tubular parts 10, 20 and the lengths of the flower branches to be inserted are set in advance to the most preferable state by an expert, even an unskilled worker can reproduce the flower arrangement of an expert.

[0017] 3, by providing a number of notches (notches 41 and 42 at the front of the base plate 35 of the lid part 30, notches 45 and 46 at the side of the base plate, and notch 48 at the rear of the base plate) on the periphery, the lid part 30 can be easily attached and detached from the opening of the container body by inserting fingers into these notches and gripping them. At the same time, water or nutrient solution can be quickly injected directly into the container body through these notches.

[0018] The lid part 30 may be manufactured in advance by attaching the cylindrical parts 10 and 20 to the hole 37 of the lid part 30 by welding or bonding, or the entire lid part 30 including the substrate 35 and the cylindrical parts 10 and 20 may be integrally molded by resin injection molding or the like. When the lid part 30 is integrally resin-injected to mold the lid part 30, the substrate 35 and the cylindrical parts 10 and 20 may be molded in two colors using different resins. Alternatively, the substrate 35 may be made of metal, and the cylindrical parts 10 and 20 may be made of transparent resin.

[0019] In the above embodiment, the lid part 30 has been described as one part of the fresh flower display stand 100, and its characteristics have been described in terms of its relative positional relationship with the container body 50, but even when viewed as a single fresh flower decoration member 30, the lid part 30 has sufficient characteristics to be sold and distributed as a product. That is, the fresh flower decoration member 30 is composed of a plurality of tubular parts 10, 20 into which fresh flowers can be inserted, and a base plate 35 to which the plurality of tubular parts 10, 20 are fixed, and some of the plurality of tubular parts (for example, tubular parts such as those with numbers 21 to 23, 26, and 27 in the embodiment of FIG. 2) are fixed to the base plate so as to be inclined in both directions (for example, the front-rear direction) and a direction perpendicular to the one direction (for example, the left-right direction) on the plane of the base plate, rather than being perpendicular to both directions. Furthermore, some of the multiple tubular parts 10, 20 (for example, tubular parts such as tubular parts numbered 21 to 23 in the embodiment of Figure 2) have a length of a portion extending in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 35 (for example, the downward direction in Figure 2, toward the inside of the container) that is longer than the length of a portion extending in the other direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate (for example, the upward direction in Figure 2, toward the outside of the container), and some other tubular parts (for example, tubular parts numbered 14 to 16 in the embodiment of Figure 2) have a length of a portion extending in one direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate that is shorter than the length of a portion extending in the other direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. Needless to say, when comparing the lengths of the portions of tubular parts 10, 20 as explained above in this specification, the comparison is made by comparing the lengths along a specific line segment (a line segment parallel to the height direction of the cylinder) on the outer surface of the approximately cylindrical tubular part.

[0020] As described above, the flower display stand 100 of the present invention can be reused by washing the cover part 30 with water after use of the flower display, so that the amount of waste can be drastically reduced compared to conventional water-absorbent foam materials. In addition, even if the worker who displays the flowers is not necessarily an expert, the flower display can be reproduced to the same quality as an expert. Even if an expert works, the work time can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, by changing the number and inclination angle of the cylindrical parts 10, 20 of the cover part 30, the flower display can be created according to a wide variety of uses and needs, such as various ceremonies and home use, and has a wide variety of advantages.
