JP5097549B2 - Long cut flower packaging container - Google Patents

Abstract

A packaging for long stemed cut flowers comprises a container (1) open at the top as well as a tube (2), the bottom of which is supported on the top of the container, which container and tube have hooking means (4) for securing the tube with respect to the container. At the top the container has securing means (12, 20) for securing the hooking means (4).

Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging container for cut flowers having a long stem, including a container having an open top, and a cylinder whose bottom is supported by the upper part of the container. It has a hook means for fixing to a certain place.

  A packaging container of this type is disclosed in EP-A-311174. Such a known packaging container comprises a container having a ridge extending over the entire circumference, the cylinder being supported on the ridge. To obtain stability, the cylinder has two slots and one lip of the container is inserted into each.

The disadvantage of such a known packaging container is that it is very difficult to fit the cylinder to the lip and that the cylinder is easy to separate from the container despite being joined together in the shape of a lip and a slot. . When a large amount of cut flowers with long stems are pressed against the cylinder, the wall of the cylinder is pushed away from the lip of the long hole and the stability is lost. As a result, the entire container may fall down with the flower. This problem is further exacerbated when the packaging container is used for display purposes. In such a case, the contents are taken out from the container step by step. In that case, there is a possibility that the cut flower remaining in the container gives an asymmetric load directed to one side to the cylinder, and as a result, it may be separated as described above. For these reasons, lips are not actually used.
European Patent Application Publication No. 311174

  The object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container of the type described above which does not have these disadvantages. This object is achieved by providing a fixing means for fixing the hook means on the upper part of the container.

In particular, the container have a groove (channel) that an open top over at least part of the peripheral portion, the bottom portion of the cylindrical body is accommodated in the groove, the hook means comprises a cut-out hole and the hook of the cylinder, the hooks One end is accommodated in the cutout hole of the cylinder, and the other end is engaged with the container.

  If the packaging container by this invention is used, since the bottom part of the cylinder has extended in it over the whole groove | channel, a cylinder will be stabilized without being pushed to one side. Therefore, even if the container of the packaging container is inclined, there is no concern that the cylinder will come off.

Off click is Ru is formed on the outer wall integral with the groove so as to be elastically movable. In this way, the cylinder is fixed with the help of the other wall of the groove, so there is no risk of separation. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the hook from damaging a cylindrical body made of a relatively weak material such as cardboard.

Preferably, the container and the cylinder have a square or rectangular cross section and have at least one hook in each of two opposing groove portions.
The fixing means including a fixing lip located opposite the hook and the hook.

According to one embodiment that does not form part of the present invention , the container and the cylinder each have a cut-out hole into which a common hook fits. Preferably, the hook is made of an elastic plastic. If each of the two opposing sides of the container has one handle opening, a hook may be fitted into the handle opening.

Furthermore, the securing means includes an upper is extending over at least a portion of the periphery of the container by opening groove, Ru is housed in a groove bottom portion of the cylindrical body is applied. In this configuration, the hook means includes a cutout hole of the cylindrical body, one end of which is housed in a cutout hole of the cylinder, Ru and a hook the other end to the container engages.

Reference is made to the packaging container disclosed in Dutch patent application No. 10112164 C. In such a known packaging container, the upper part of the container is opened and the cylinder is accommodated therein. However, such a cylinder is not fixed to the container. However, the flowers themselves are fixed by being hung inside the section. Therefore, in such a cylinder, the risk that the flower leans diagonally against the cylinder is obviously low.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a few embodiments shown in the figures.

  The packaging container of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes a container 1 represented as a whole by 1 and a cylindrical body 2 placed on the container 1. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the container has a groove 3 extending over the entire periphery in the upper part, and the cylindrical body 2 is accommodated in the groove 3.

  In order to prevent the cylindrical body 2 from being unintentionally detached from the container 1, hook means indicated as a whole by 4 is provided. Such hook means are also provided in the facing groove portions. These hook means comprise a hook 5 formed integrally with the outer wall 19 of the groove 3 and a cutout hole 6 in the cylindrical body. The wall 19 of the groove 3 is provided with a notch 7 below the hook 5, and the hook 5 easily moves outward elastically and then bounces back.

  The hook means 4 is used when the cylinder 2 is attached. The cylindrical body 2 is pushed into the groove 3. During this operation, the cylinder slides along the inner wall 20 of the groove 3 and the hook 5 is pushed back and then bounces back into the cutout hole 6. In this way, the cylinder 2 is actually prevented from being unintentionally separated from the container 1. The inner wall 20 serves as a fixing means for preventing separation of the cylindrical body.

In the variant of FIG. 3 which does not constitute part of the invention , the cylinder 2 is likewise mounted in the groove 3 of the container 1 which is open at the top. The container 1 has a handle 8 and is used to fix the hook 9.

  The cylindrical body 2 is provided with a hole 10. The hook 9 has a lower holding piece 11 and two upper hooks 12. The holding piece 11 is engaged with the upper boundary of the handle 8, while the hook 12 is hooked in the hole 10. In this way, the cylindrical body 2 is prevented from being unintentionally separated from the container 1.

  The cylinder 2 consists of two parts 13, 14 joined together along a selective break line 15. By splitting the upper portion 14 of the cylinder along the selective break line 15, the contents of the packaging container are more easily visible.

Furthermore, a modification of the hook 2, that is, hook 5 '' and 5 ''', shown in Figures 5 and 6.

The variant shown in FIG. 4 which does not form part of the invention relates to a hook 5 ′ made of metal, which is fixed to the outer wall 19 of the groove 3 using rivets 16. The variant shown in FIG. 5 which does not form part of the present invention has a hook 5 ″ and is flexibly coupled to the bottom of the groove 3 via a shank 17. The shank 17 is separated from the rest of the outer wall 19 of the groove 3.

In the variant shown in FIG. 6 which does not form part of the present invention, a hook 5 ′ ″ with a flexible shank 18 located on the outer wall 19 of the groove 3 is illustrated.

It is a fragmentary perspective view of the packaging container of this invention. It is sectional drawing along line II-II of FIG. It is a figure which shows embodiment which does not comprise a part of this invention. It is a figure which shows embodiment which does not comprise a part of this invention. It is a figure which shows embodiment which does not comprise a part of this invention. It is a figure which shows embodiment which does not comprise a part of this invention.
