Description

The present invention relates to a flower container that can be used as a vase, a vase for a single flower, a bouquet holder, etc.

If bacteria grow in the water stored in the container, it can clog the vessels in the flower stems, making them less able to absorb water and making them more likely to wither or last less long. For this reason, some containers have antibacterial agents added to them.

However, there is no other flower vase container that has a flower support part at the top opening of the container that acts as a flower vase auxiliary (flower vase support part) to support the flowers placed in the container, allowing even a single flower to be supported upright without tilting significantly, even if the amount of flowers is small.The presence of this flower support part also automatically makes the water inside the container antibacterial or sterilized, allowing the flowers to last longer.

The present invention addresses this problem in light of the current situation. Its purpose is to provide a highly practical flower vase container that uses a flower support section to support the flowers placed inside the container, allowing even a single flower to be placed and supported upright without tilting significantly, even if the amount of flowers is small. This flower support section can be easily manufactured, and can be simply placed on or fastened to the top opening of the container, making it detachable or fixed in place. At the same time, the water inside the container can be automatically antibacterial or sterilized, allowing the flowers to last longer.

The gist of the present invention will be explained with reference to the attached drawings.

In the present invention, a flower support part 2 is provided at the upper opening of the container 1,
The flower support part 2 is composed of a vase support part 4 having a plurality of support openings smaller than the upper opening of the container 1 for supporting flowers 3 to be inserted into the upper opening, and a hanging part 5 arranged hanging down within the container 1,
The flower support part 2 comprises a circular locking ring part that is placed on or locked to the upper opening of the container 1, a central vase ring part that is smaller in diameter than the locking ring part and is located in the upper center of the upper opening of the container 1, and is the uppermost support opening and the vase support part 4, a peripheral vase frame part that is the multiple support openings and the vase support parts 4 and that is provided with a plurality of inclined partition parts spaced apart in the circumferential direction between the locking ring part and the uppermost central vase ring part, and that allows flowers to be inserted and supported around the central vase ring part from the side, and the hanging part 5,
The central vase ring, which is the uppermost support opening and the vase support part 4, is used to place flowers upright, and the surrounding peripheral vase frame parts, which are the support openings and the vase support parts 4, are used to place flowers obliquely from the sides, so that the flowers are arranged in the center and around the center.
The hanging part 5 is configured with a hanging length and shape that allows it to come into contact with the water stored in the container 1, and is characterized in that it has an antibacterial and bactericidal function that imparts antibacterial or bactericidal properties to the water when it comes into contact with the water.

The present invention also relates to a flower vase container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the flower support part (2) is detachably attached to or fixed to the upper opening of the container (1).

The flower support part 2 is configured to be detachably placed on the upper opening of the container 1, and the vase support part 4 and the hanging part 5 are made of wire, which forms the support opening of the vase support part 4 and supports the flowers.

The flower vase container described in claim 1 is characterized in that the hanging portion 5 is formed of, coated with, or plated with an antibacterial or bactericidal material, and is configured to have an antibacterial and bactericidal function that imparts an antibacterial or bactericidal effect to the water when it comes into contact with the water.

The present invention is configured as described above, and the flower support section acts as a flower vase auxiliary that supports the flowers inserted into the container, allowing even a single flower to be inserted and supported upright without tilting significantly, even if the amount of flowers is small. Furthermore, this flower support section can be manufactured with a simple structure, and can be simply placed on or attached to the top opening of the container, making it detachable or fixed in place. At the same time, the water inside the container can be automatically made antibacterial or sterilized, resulting in an extremely practical flower vase that allows the flowers to last longer.

The optimal embodiment of the present invention will be briefly explained below, illustrating its operation with reference to the drawings.

Flowers 3 are inserted into the upper opening of container 1 through the support opening of the vase support part 4 of the flower support part 2 provided in the upper opening. Even if the upper opening is large, for example, a general-purpose shape, the flower support part 2 is provided in this upper opening, so the flowers 3 are supported by the periphery of the support opening and the forming frame of the vase support part 4 above this flower support part 2. Even if there are only a few flowers 3, even a single flower, will be supported in an upright position without tilting significantly. This means that flowers can be displayed neatly and beautifully without tilting significantly, even in containers with large upper openings or general-purpose shapes.

Furthermore, with the present invention, even without adding a separate antibacterial material, the hanging portion 5 of the flower support portion 2, which includes the vase support portion 4 with the support opening, comes into contact with the water in the container 1, and the antibacterial and sterilizing function imparted to this hanging portion 5 suppresses the growth of bacteria in the water, thereby prolonging the life of the flowers 3.

For example, by configuring the flower support part 2 to be detachable (for example, so that it can be placed on the upper opening) or so that it can be attached and fixed to the upper opening, if the upper opening is large compared to the depth of the container 1 and the amount of flowers would cause the flowers to tilt significantly, by providing the flower support part 2 to the container 1, the flowers 3 can be inserted and supported in an upright position without tilting significantly.At the same time, the antibacterial and sterilizing function provided in the hanging part 5 of the flower support part 2 automatically keeps the water clean, suppressing the growth of bacteria even in the summer and allowing the flowers 3 to last longer.

Specific examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, a flower support part 2 made of wire is detachably placed and engaged in the circular upper opening of a cup-shaped container 1, which has a large upper opening and is a general-purpose shape.

In this embodiment, the flower support part 2 is made up of a circular (wire-ring) locking part 6 that locks into the upper opening of the container 1, a vase support part 4 consisting of multiple support openings smaller than the upper opening at the top that support the flowers 3 inserted into the container 1 through the upper opening, and multiple hanging parts 5 that hang down within the container 1, all of which are made from metal wire.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the vase support part 4 is provided with multiple support openings that protrude above the container 1 above the circular locking part 6. At the top center of this support part 4 is a small circular support opening, and around its periphery are multiple support openings that allow flowers 3 to be inserted and supported in a nearly upright position (upright) from the side, and the inserted flowers 3 are supported by the frame-shaped wire that forms these support openings.

In this embodiment, the hanging portion 5 is also made of wire, with multiple hanging protrusions formed below the engaging portion 6. It is shaped and oriented to hang down to a length that allows it to come into contact with the water stored in the container 1, and is configured to have an antibacterial and sterilizing function by imparting antibacterial or sterilizing properties to the water upon contact with the water.

In addition, in this embodiment, the hanging portion 5 is formed from, coated with, or plated with an antibacterial or bactericidal material, and is configured to have an antibacterial and bactericidal function that imparts antibacterial or bactericidal properties to the water when it comes into contact with the water.

Specifically, the metal wire that makes up the hanging portion is silver-plated so that silver ions act as an antibacterial agent, making the water antibacterial.

In this embodiment, simply by placing the engaging portion 6 of the flower support portion 2 on the upper opening of the container 1, a flower support portion 2 can be provided that can support the flower stem in an upright position when a flower is inserted at the top. Furthermore, the hanging portion 5, which is set hanging down within the container 1, is positioned so that it comes into contact with the water within the container 1. Furthermore, the antibacterial and sterilizing properties imparted to this hanging portion 5, in this embodiment the antibacterial action of silver ions plated with silver, automatically maintain the antibacterial properties of the water, allowing the flowers to last longer.

In this example, the hanging portion 5, which is constructed with multiple U-shaped metal wire portions protruding downward long enough to reach the water, is silver-plated as described above to provide antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It has been confirmed that by providing this antibacterial and antiseptic properties that keep the water clean, the flowers survive for several days longer than without silver plating due to the antibacterial action of the silver ions from the silver plating.

In addition, in this embodiment, a support recess 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of the container 1 and around it in a concentric circle, so that the lower ends of the flower stems are positioned not only on the bottom surface and corners of the container, but also within this support recess 7 and engage with the inner corner edges of the recess, helping to maintain the upright state.

Note that the present invention is not limited to this example, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
