Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for the transport of flowers with a box part from an underbody, side walls, one Lid part and a container closure, and one in the interior of the Part of the flower holder that can be arranged in the box.
  • Such a container for the transport of flowers is particularly a container intended for dispatch by post or with similar service providers.
  • Folding boxes are known as the simplest containers for such transport, in which a bouquet of flowers can be placed and transported.
  • the disadvantage is that the bouquet is fixed within the Folding box extremely difficult and slipping and damaging the Bouquet during transport is almost inevitable.
  • a bottle holder and an additional room for example for chocolates.
  • the flower holder is inside the folding box, for example, by punching fixed, which are provided in the side wall of the folding box and need to be manually pushed in around the flower holder to keep at the bottom of the box.
  • the manufacture of the container is complex and associated with relatively high costs. Also disadvantageous is that the bouquet is inserted laterally into the flower holder and must also be removed from the side. This can be too defective kinking of the flowers cause and the consumer about it also felt extremely unwieldy.
  • the present invention has for its object a container for to create the transport of flowers that can be produced inexpensively and has improved manageability.
  • the flowers to be transported can be easily carried through the top lid part designed as a container closure set in the container and can also be removed from above.
  • the flower stems are at Set in the push-through areas of the holding base and the intermediate base pushed. This can be done conveniently and quickly, so that the flowers can be set and fixed in the container with just one hand.
  • the Push-through areas can be designed such that the flower stems with a moisture bag surrounding the flower stems the push-through areas can be passed through.
  • a moisture bag is usually used to transport flowers around them to supply moisture over the period of transport.
  • the push-through areas of the intermediate floor and the Retaining floor can be designed differently.
  • the Push-through area of the mezzanine floor with a circular opening several centimeters in diameter and the push-through area of the holding base be formed by a star cut (crossed slits).
  • a star cut crossed slits.
  • the flowers can be well fixed within of the container and the circular opening in the intermediate floor allowed pulling the flowers out of the container without them Hook the intermediate floor and pull it up.
  • the circular Accordingly, the opening must be adequately dimensioned.
  • the sliding elements are sufficient up to the cover part and are at these ends with cover elements connected.
  • the lid elements are towards the inside of the box part, so towards each other, foldable and thus act as an additional Cover. They are dimensioned so that when folded, that is, when they extend approximately parallel to the holding floor, with theirs touch and support free end edges. This will make the container additionally fixed. The mutual holding of the lid elements prevented also that they fold further towards the inside of the container and can damage the set flowers.
  • the cover elements can have free, mutually facing end edges Gripping devices, for example designed as elongated holes.
  • the container closure is, as is usual with folding boxes, with two or four wings folded in pairs against each other.
  • cover elements or with relative short flowers can be removed with one hand.
  • the cover elements in the area of the gripping devices pressed together and both gripped with one hand.
  • An unwanted one Tilting of the holding base inside the box part when pulling out can be caused by unevenly pulling the two cover elements prevented or remedied.
  • the box part it is also possible to use the box part to be fixed on the surface with one hand and then with the other Hand pull the flowers or the removal element out of the box part.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that a commercially available, cardboard box suitable for transporting flowers as Box part can be used. This does not have to be attached to the flower holder be adjusted, rather the flower holder tailored to this. Fixing the flower holder inside of the box part is not necessary, since this is on the one hand Support the bottom of the box part and executed on the other hand is that it is surrounded on all sides by the box part, i.e. the side walls and is held. Thus, additional slitting and manufacture of holding devices to be dispensed with, on the one hand the process and secondly, there are no costs associated with the punching tool.
  • the container according to the invention advantageously consists of less expensive, double-layer corrugated cardboard that is easy to manufacture and process.
  • the container can be placed between the holding base and a further additional floor can be arranged on the intermediate floor.
  • This is designed such that its dimensions are the area of the holding base or the cross section of the interior limited by the side walls of the box part corresponds, so that this through the side walls is held.
  • additional fixing means or clamping mechanisms can be executed, the additionally fix the flower holder inside the box part.
  • These can, for example, by lugs or protruding into the interior Projections may be formed which the flower holder during Keep transportation on the sub-floor, but when removing the bouquet can be easily overcome or pulled free.
  • the container can be different, each suitable for certain types of flowers Have dimensions. Also symbols and notices on the Outside be attached to make handling easier for the user. These can be, for example, in the form of arrows, hand symbols or be executed as words or text.
  • Figure 1 shows a box part 1, consisting of side walls 2, a lid part 4 and an underbody 6 not visible in FIG. 1
  • Box parts 1 are as commercially available containers for the transport of Flowers available.
  • Point to the aeration of the flowers during transportation the side walls 2 advantageously have air holes 8.
  • To make things easier handle openings are also designed as elongated holes 10, in the edge area facing the cover part at least two of each other opposite side walls 2 available.
  • the box part 1 Symbols and / or inscriptions 12 on the right of the carrier Specify the position of the cover part 4.
  • Figure 2 shows the container according to the invention with the side wall hidden.
  • a base element 16 Within the box part 1 are a base element 16 and a removal element 18 arranged. Also indicated is a to be transported Bouquet 14
  • the base element 16 is made of a extending parallel to the sub-floor 6 Intermediate floor 20 formed, which is in the present embodiment over two opposite, on the outer edge of the mezzanine 20 arranged, approximately parallel to the adjacent Side wall 2 extending support elements 22 is supported on the underbody 6.
  • the support elements 22 can also have other shapes and designs exhibit. For example, it is conceivable that it starts from the sub-floor 6 obliquely to the side walls in the direction of the intermediate floor 20 run, with their free ends on the sub-base 6 mutually supported. In principle, the support elements 22 can also be closer to the bouquet 14 may be arranged, however, the largest possible free interior preferred for the flower stems 28.
  • the intermediate floor 20 of the base element 16 has a push-through area in the middle 26 on. This is designed, for example, as a circular opening 27, which is dimensioned such that flower stems 28 with or without one these surrounding moisture bags 30 easily through the opening 27 can be passed.
  • the moisture bag 30 supplies the Bouquet 14 during transportation with the necessary moisture.
  • the base element 16 or the support elements 22 can be dimensioned in this way be that the bouquet 14 on the underbody 6 or is supported on the support base 24.
  • the removal element 18 consists of a parallel to the surface of the Intermediate floor 20 extending and lying on the intermediate floor 20 Holding base 32.
  • the holding base 32 in turn has one in the center Push-through area 26 on the opening 27 of the intermediate floor 20 is in cover.
  • the push-through area 26 of the removal element 18 is advantageously designed as a star cut 34.
  • Such one Star cut 34 is formed from several, intersecting, individual cuts. The flower stems 28 and the moisture bag 30 can by this star cut can be easily pushed through and are then held in this.
  • the bouquet 14 by the Holding base 32 or the star cut 34 fixed laterally within the container and is additionally supported on the support base 24.
