Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention prevents name tags inserted into cut grooves in plastic pots from slipping out of the cut groove and becoming lost, making it impossible to tell the name of the flower, or from slipping out of the cut groove when the name tag is grasped and lifted, causing the plastic pot to fall. The lower mountain-shaped cut portion of the name tag is pushed open from the back of the name tag body, and the gap between the name tag body and the cut groove of the plastic pot is inserted and inserted through the gap between the pushed-open mountain-shaped cut portion and the name tag body. Alternatively, the U-shaped cut portion is pushed open from the back of the name tag body and placed over the upper edge of the plastic pot in the gap between the name tag body and the cut groove. This name tag is attached to the plastic pot at two points, the mountain-shaped cut portion of the name tag body and the upper U-shaped cut portion, to prevent the name tag from slipping out of the plastic pot. [Background technology]
[0002] All you had to do was insert the name tag into the cut groove from inside the plastic pot and attach it to the plastic pot. But because it was just inserted into the cut groove, the name tag could fall out and get lost, making it impossible to tell the name of the flower, or when you grabbed the name tag inserted into the cut groove and lifted it up, the name tag would come out and the plastic pot would fall off. To prevent the name tag from falling out, you had to align the plastic pot and name tag and staple it together, which was a very time-consuming and difficult task every time.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2015-52636 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventionally, name tags attached to plastic pots are simply inserted into cut grooves from inside the plastic pot, so the name tag can slip out of the cut groove and get lost, making it difficult to know the name of the flower growing in the plastic pot, or the name tag can slip out of the plastic pot when lifted, causing the plastic pot to fall. To explain the shape of a conventional plastic pot using drawings, a conventional name tag 12 with a notch 21 made in the cut groove 4 of the plastic pot 3 shown in Figure 14 as shown in Figure 15 is pierced into the cut groove 4 of the plastic pot 3 from the inside as shown in Figure 16 and used as a name tag for seedlings and flowers. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In this invention, a mountain-shaped cut slit is made in the lower part of the name plate body, and when the name plate is inserted into the cut groove, the mountain-shaped cut slit with the cut line is pushed out from the back of the name plate to open and provide a gap, and the name plate is inserted into the cut groove from the inside of the vinyl pot, and the name plate body and the opened mountain-shaped cut slit are pushed out to the outside of the vinyl pot, and the upper part of the cut groove of the vinyl pot is sandwiched in the gap provided by pushing out the name plate body and the mountain-shaped cut slit. When inserting the name tag into the cut groove, push open the U-shaped cut portion at the top of the name tag body from the back of the name tag body, and insert the upper edge of the vinyl pot into the gap created by the push-out opening of the U-shaped cut portion between the name tag body and the vinyl pot, then cover and clamp it in place. The mountain-shaped cut portion in the cut groove, the U-shaped cut portion that is covered and clamped, and the vinyl pot clamp together to prevent the name tag from slipping out. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] Previously, the name tag was simply inserted into one of the cut grooves in the plastic pot from the inside. A U-shaped cut is made in the name tag body so that it does not separate from the name tag body, the part with the U-shaped cut is pushed open to create a gap, and the name tag is then placed over the upper edge of the plastic pot and clamped to attach it; at the same time, a mountain-shaped cut is made in the lower part of the cut name tag, the part with the mountain-shaped cut is pushed open towards the name tag body to create a gap, and the name tag is then inserted into the cut groove from the inside of the plastic pot; when the mountain-shaped cut part is inserted through the cut groove, the cut groove is clamped in the gap between the name tag body and the opened name tag, and even when the name tag is lifted, the name tag is clamped in the opened gap and does not come out of the cut groove, preventing the plastic pot from falling off; the name tag and plastic pot do not need to be fixed with a stapler or the like; the mountain-shaped cut part of the name tag that has been passed through the cut groove in the plastic pot and the U-shaped cut part at the top of the plastic pot are pushed open, and the edge of the plastic pot is clamped into the opened gap to secure it; the name tag body is inserted and clamped at two points between the cut groove and the upper edge of the plastic pot, eliminating wobble and preventing the name tag from falling off.
[0007] Cuts are made on the left and right sides of the top of the name tag so that it does not separate from the name tag itself, the cut parts are pushed open and sandwiched over the top edge of the plastic pot, and at the same time the cut cut parts and the bottom left and right parts of the name tag are pushed open and inserted into the cut groove from the inside of the plastic pot, when the name tag is inserted through the cut groove the top of the cut groove is sandwiched in the gap between the name tag itself and the bottom left and right parts of the name tag that have been cut open and it stops there, the top part of the name tag with the cut cut sandwiches the top edge of the plastic pot, and the gap where the bottom of the name tag has been opened through the cut groove also sandwiches the top of the cut groove, so that even when the name tag is lifted the name tag will not come out of the cut groove and the plastic pot will not fall, and there is no need to fasten the name tag to the plastic pot with a stapler or the like, so time is saved.
[0008] The mountain-shaped cut at the bottom of the name tag is pushed from the front to the back and bent into the plastic pot without a cut groove, and the U-shaped cut at the top of the name tag is pushed open onto the top edge of the plastic pot, and the top edge of the plastic pot is sandwiched between the cut and placed over the name tag, soil is placed inside the plastic pot, and when the soil is sealed, the bent mountain-shaped cut is sandwiched between the soil and is difficult to remove, and the U-shaped cut that sandwiches the top edge of the plastic pot is fastened in place at two points, so the name tag does not shake and is difficult to remove.
