AI Technical Summary
Conventional name tags inserted into vinyl pots tend to fall out, causing the flower name to become unclear, and when lifted, the name tags can dislodge the vinyl pots, leading to time-consuming and labor-intensive solutions like stapling to prevent this.
The name tag features a mountain-shaped cut notch at the bottom and a U-shaped cut section at the top, which are extruded to create gaps that securely clamp the name tag into the vinyl pot's cut groove, preventing it from falling out.
This design effectively prevents the name tag from falling out of the vinyl pot, even when lifted, eliminating the need for stapling and reducing time and effort in maintaining the name tags.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] In the present invention, when a name tag inserted into a cut groove in a vinyl pot is grasped and lifted, the name tag falls out of the cut groove, making it impossible to tell the name of the flower, or when the name tag is grasped and lifted, it falls out of the cut groove, causing the vinyl 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 vinyl pot is inserted and inserted through the gap between the pushed-open mountain-shaped cut portion and the name tag body, and the cut groove is sandwiched between the pushed-open mountain-shaped cut portion and the name tag body, or the U-shaped cut portion is pushed open from the back of the name tag body, and the gap between the name tag body and the cut groove is placed over the upper edge of the vinyl pot and sandwiched between it. This name tag is attached to a vinyl 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 falling out of the vinyl 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. Because it was only inserted into the cut groove, the name tag could fall out and get lost, making it difficult 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 them together to prevent the name tag from falling out, so it 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 tell 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 off. To explain the shape of a conventional plastic pot with reference to the drawings, a conventional name tag 12 with a notch 21 made in the cut groove 4 of the plastic pot 3 in Fig. 14 as shown in Fig. 15 is inserted into the cut groove 4 of the plastic pot 3 from the inside as shown in Fig. 16 and used as a name tag for a seedling or flower. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In the present invention, when a mountain-shaped cut slit is made in the lower part of the name plate body and 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, the name plate is inserted into the cut groove from the inside of the vinyl pot, the name plate body and the open 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, the U-shaped cut portion in the top of the name tag body is pushed open from the back of the name tag body, and the upper edge of the vinyl pot is inserted into the gap created by the push-out of the U-shaped cut portion between the name tag body and the vinyl pot, which is then covered and clamped. The mountain-shaped cut portion in the cut groove, the U-shaped cut portion that is covered and clamped, and the vinyl pot are clamped together to prevent the name tag from falling out. Effect of the Invention
[0006] Previously, name tags were simply inserted into a single cut groove in the plastic pot from the inside. A U-shaped cut is made in the main body of the name tag so that it does not come apart, 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 a 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 from the main body of the name tag 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 into the cut groove, the cut groove is clamped in the gap between the main body of the name tag and the opened name tag, and even if the name tag is lifted, the name tag will be clamped in the opened gap and will not fall out of the cut groove or the plastic pot will not fall out; 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 is inserted and clamped in two places between the cut groove and the upper edge of the plastic pot, eliminating any shaking and preventing the name tag from falling out.
[0007] Cuts are made on the left and right sides of the upper part of the name tag so that it does not separate from the name tag itself, and the cut parts are pushed open and sandwiched over the upper edge of the vinyl pot. At the same time, the cut parts and the lower left and right parts of the name tag are pushed open and inserted into the cut groove from the inside of the vinyl pot. When the name tag is inserted through the cut groove, the upper part of the cut groove is sandwiched and stopped in the gap between the name tag itself and the lower left and right parts of the name tag that have been cut and passed through. The upper part of the name tag with the cut cuts sandwiches the upper edge of the vinyl pot, and the upper part of the cut groove is sandwiched in the gap where the lower part of the name tag is opened and passed through the cut groove, so that even if the name tag is lifted, it will not come out of the cut groove and the vinyl pot will not fall. Also, there is no need to fasten the name tag and the vinyl pot with a stapler or the like, so time is saved.
[0008] Put the name tag into a plastic pot without a cut groove, push the mountain-shaped cut at the bottom from the front to the back, bend it and place it inside the plastic pot, push the U-shaped cut at the top of the name tag open onto the upper edge of the plastic pot, pinch the upper edge of the plastic pot and cover it, put soil inside the plastic pot and when the soil closes the bent mountain-shaped cut will be pinched by the soil and will be difficult to remove, and the U-shaped cut that pinches the upper edge of the plastic pot will be fastened in two places so the name tag will not shake and will be difficult to remove.
