Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable holder, the upper surface of which is open and provided with a bent edge.
  • stackable holders are holders of practically truncated cone shape, the upper surface of which is open, such as for instance a bucket, or the walls of which consist of triangular and/or trapezoidal segments and the base is polygonal in accordance with the number of triangles and/or trapeziums.
  • Such stackable holders can also consist of portions, such as for instance rings, which can be fitted into each other.
  • the holders After use the holders have to be cleaned thoroughly to remove the contaminated, bacteria-containing flower water, and then stored or transported in stacked manner so that they take up little space. During cleaning of the holders it is however unavoidable that some moisture remains behind in the holders. When the holders are subsequently stacked by placing them onto each other, moisture is left between the torus or side walls of the holders even when the holder is placed with the upper surface downward, whereby a vacuum results between the torus or walls of the holders. This has the result that holders placed into each other are difficult to separate from each other.
  • the invention provides a solution to this problem, viz. a stackable holder of the type stated in the preamble, the bent edge of which is provided with at least one elongate opening. Owing to this elongate opening or plurality of elongate openings the cleaning water left behind surprisingly drains away much better than when only round openings are available. As elongate openings can preferably be envisaged an oval shape or an elongate shape. The chance of vacuum formation thus decreases, whereby taking the stacked holders apart becomes easier.
  • At least one notch in a surface under the base preferably in an edge at the position of the surface under the base, more preferably in such an edge which lies in the line of the side walls of the holder.
  • the holders are usually manufactured from light plastic material, but manufacture with other material such as aluminium can also be envisaged.
  • Figure 1 shows a holder of truncated cone shape according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, including notches.
  • Figure 2 shows a holder with triangular and trapezoidal side walls, likewise in the preferred embodiment of the invention including notches.
