Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a flowerpot container equipped with a sheet-like label that allows the sheet-like label to be stably attached and to be easily attached and detached.

(Prior Art) Recently, flowerpots for indoor cultivation that have a pattern of a cultivated plant displayed on the outer surface of the pot container body have been commercially available. The purpose of painting flower patterns on the outside of flower pots is to enhance the aesthetic effect during cultivation, and to store culture soil, seeds, fertilizer, etc. in the pots, cover them, and sell them as cultivation sets. If so, the type of plant,
It is necessary to teach the appearance, color tone, etc. when growing, and the purpose is to express the color richly and to stimulate the desire to purchase.
This type of flower pot is usually made of plastic and has a label affixed to it.

On the other hand, a colored cover plate is attached to the outer surface of the transparent plastic pot container body, and this cover plate can be opened, closed, or removed, making it possible to observe the roots of plants planted in the pot. For example, flower pot containers made in Jitsukai 55-20868
It is stated in the No.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the former type of flower pot containers, if the same pot is used for a long period of time, the label may peel off due to the lack of water resistance and weather resistance of the adhesive that attaches the label. There is an easy problem. Furthermore, when the same pot is used for cultivating different plants, there is a drawback that the pattern does not match the cultivated plant.

In the latter case, two covering plates are attached, one on the fixed side and the other on the closing side, and the lower edge of the covering plate on the fixed side is placed on a protrusion provided on the lower outside of the container body. On the other hand, the lower edge of the covering plate on the opening/closing side is provided with a hanging hole to match the hanging nail on the ring that is rotatably fitted into the groove below the protrusion. Since it is longer than the lower edge of the cover plate, if it is attached to the outer surface of the container, a step will be created at the lower edge of the seam between both cover plates, resulting in a poor aesthetic effect. Furthermore, each covering plate must be pressed into a curved shape in advance to match the curvature of the outer surface of the container, which is cumbersome to manufacture.

The present invention aims to provide a structure that allows a sheet-like label to be attached stably and easily to the outer surface of a flower pot container.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention is a plastic flower pot container in which a sheet-like label is attached around the outer surface of a pot-shaped flower pot container body. a step portion formed with a step having a length in the vertical direction at least equal to the width of the sheet-like label and a height of 1 to 2 times the thickness of the sheet-like label; A support beam is installed parallel to the stepped portion at an interval of three times the thickness of the sheet-like label, and the sheet-like sheet is passed through the support beam, goes around the outer surface of the container body, and overlaps both ends. The label has an inwardly folded overlapping piece at one end that becomes the upper side when overlapping, and the sheet-like label has both overlapping ends positioned between the lower surface and the support beam, and is attached to the outside of the container body. This is a plastic flowerpot container with a sheet-like label attached to the side.

(Function) According to the present invention, when attaching a sheet-like label to the outer surface of the container body, the gap (attachment section) between the stepped section provided in the vertical direction and the support beam installed parallel to this is used. First, insert the tip of the sheet-like label, pass it around the outer surface of the container body, and place the tip under the rear end that has a polymeric piece folded back inward (wrap it around with the polymeric piece inside). The overlapping part, which is actually thicker than the thickness of three sheet-like labels, is rotated and attached to the mounting part with an interval three times the thickness of the sheet-like label, so it does not hold tightly. and is held.

In addition, when removing a sheet-like label, you can remove it by rotating the outer surface of the container body in the opposite direction from when it was attached and pulling out the overlapping part from the gap between the support beams. It becomes easier.

Furthermore, preferably, by forming the sheet-like label in an L-shape with the leading end facing outward, the label can be rotated with the folded inner edge of the rear end of the label held in the L-shaped part. The overlapping part of the sheet-like label can be smoothly attached to or detached from the attachment part, and stable label attachment is possible.

Furthermore, since the overlapping portion of the attached sheet-like label is covered with the support beam, it is possible to provide an appearance that is integrated with the container body.

(Example 1) Figures 1 to 8 show an example of a case where the rear end of a sheet-like label (hereinafter simply referred to as a label) forms an L-shape. FIG. 2 is a side view of the flowerpot container; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line B-B of the fan-shaped sheet label shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is a front view showing the process of attaching the sheet label, and FIG. C-C cut sectional view, Figure 8a shows C after the sheet label has been attached.
-C is a cross-sectional view, and b is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part B.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic flower pot container body, which is shaped like a pot and expands upward. Reference numeral 2 denotes a stepped portion in which a step is formed in the vertical direction at one location on the outer surface of the container over a length at least equal to the width of the sheet-like label and a height approximately equal to the thickness of the sheet-like label; This is the gap between the outer surface of the lower container body 1, that is, the lower step surface, and the support beam 7. The upper and lower ends of the support beam 7 are integrally formed on the outer surface of the flower pot container, and are installed parallel to the stepped portion 2. The support beam 7 is provided so that the gap 3 is three times the thickness of the sheet-like label. Then, the step dimension and the gap 3 are adjusted so that the gap 4 between the support beam 7 and the upper surface of the step portion 2 is approximately twice the label thickness.
and gap 4 were set. Next, 5 is the upper raised part of the outer surface of the container, and 6 is the lower raised part, so that when the sheet-like label is attached to the outer surface of the container, the same side of the container body is flush with the surface of the sheet-like label. This is to create a sense of unity by increasing the height. Reference numeral 8 denotes a fan-shaped sheet-like label, the structure of which will be explained in detail later. Reference numeral 9 designates the leading end of the sheet-like label, 10 represents the end edge 11 of the inwardly folded overlapping piece of the leading end 9, the rear end of the sheet-like label, and 12 represents the L-shaped rear end portion formed at the rear end 11.

The method for attaching the fan-shaped sheet label 8 to the flowerpot body 1 is to guide and insert the L-shaped rear end 12 of the label into the gap 3 between the support beam 7 and the container body 1, and then insert the label into the gap 4 on the upper surface of the stepped portion 2. After passing it through and winding it until the end edge 10 of the inwardly folded overlapping piece comes into contact with the surface of the stepped portion 2 and making one round around the outer surface of the container body 1, the whole fan-shaped sheet label 8 is rolled in the direction opposite to the one round direction. Push it back slightly and return the end edge 10 to the outside of the support beam 7, where the front end 9 of the label overlaps the rear end 11 of the label, and the end edge 10 of the overlapping piece of the front end 9 is hooked on the rear end 12. After that, by rotating the label and pushing the overlapping parts of the front and rear ends under the support beam 7, the rear end part 12 of the label is brought into contact with the stepped part 2, as shown in FIG. 8b. The contacting and overlapping portion of the front end 9 and the rear end 11 is firmly held between the lower surface of the stepped portion 2 and the support beam, and the label is stably attached to the flower pot container.

When the fan-shaped sheet label 8 is to be removed, the procedure for attaching it may be reversed.

As mentioned above, since the fan-shaped sheet label 8 can be easily attached and removed, if you prepare several different labels in advance, you can select and attach the label according to the type of cultivated plant.
You can grow different plants as many times as you like in each flower pot. It can be admired and the rate is very high.

Further, the top and bottom of the outer surface of the container body 1 on which the sheet-like label 8 is wrapped have raised portions 5 and 6 at the top and bottom so that the label surface and the circumferential surface of the container body are at the same height when the label is attached. If this is done, the container body 1 and the label 8 will appear as if they are integrated, increasing the aesthetic effect.

The flower pot container body 1 is made of thermoplastic resin by injection molding, and the material may be polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc. depending on moldability, durability, price, etc., but ABS, polycarbonate, vinyl chloride resin, etc. But it is possible.

The sheet-like label 8 must be made of elastic printable plastic, and in particular, since the tip of the label will be bent, it must be made of a material that can withstand bending, and the wall thickness should be 0.1 to 1 mm.
A certain degree is suitable for practical use. Typical materials include single-layer sheets of polyethylene terephthalate, soft vinyl, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, and composite sheets thereof. The sheet-like label 8 is generally printed by multicolor offset printing, gravure printing, screen printing, or transfer printing, but the number of printing colors is preferably 3 to 7 because the label needs to be beautiful. In order to improve durability and stain resistance, some labels are printed on the back side of a transparent label material and the plastic sheet on the front side is configured so that the watermark can be seen, and some are composite labels such as gravure printed on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate and plastic on this side. There is a structure in which a so-called printed film is sandwiched between the film and the film.

(Example 2) Figures 9 to 13 show an example in which the rear end of a sheet-like label has a flat plate shape, and Figure 9 shows a locking mechanism of a sheet-like label. It is the same as Figure 3 of .

Figure 10 is a developed view of the fan-shaped sheet label of this example, and Figure 11 is the 10th diagram of the fan-shaped sheet label of this example.
Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view showing the process of attaching the fan-shaped sheet label of this example to the container body; Figure 13 a is a cross-sectional view after the sheet label has been attached; Part B and c are enlarged sectional views of part C.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 11, the fan-shaped sheet-like label 15 has a tip 16 forming a folded overlapping part 17, and an end surface 18 of the folded overlapping part 17 forms a container main body 1.
The rear end 19 of the fan-shaped sheet label 15 has a flat plate shape, and as shown in FIG. The container body 1 is held and mounted in the gap between the lower surface of the stepped portion 2 and the support beam 7, and is installed on the back side of the container body 1 separated by 180 degrees from the support beam 7. The difference from Example 1 is that the sheet-like label 15 is passed through the narrow space 13 between the container's outer surface and the restraining beam 14 for suppressing the repulsion of the sheet-like label 15 spaced apart from the container's outer surface. is the same as in Example 1.

(Effect of the invention) Since the invention is configured as described above, the rear end of the sheet-like label (the end that becomes the lower side when both ends of the label are overlapped, and the end that becomes the upper side at that time) If the tip is L-shaped, wrap the rear end around the outer surface of the pot-shaped container in a counterclockwise direction, wrap the sheet-like label around the outer surface of the pot-shaped container, and then wrap the label over the rear end. By overlapping the tips and bringing the inner edge of the overlapped piece at the tip into contact with the L-shaped part at the rear end, and bringing the overlapped part under the support beam, it can be stably attached, and the sheet-like If the label is a flat plate, wrap the sheet label around the outer surface of the pot-shaped container by wrapping the rear end counterclockwise around the outer surface of the pot-shaped container body, and then wrap it vertically around the outer surface of the pot-shaped container body. When the rear end is brought into contact with the stepped portion formed by the label and the leading edge of the sheet-like label is overlapped with the rear end, the overlapping portion is located under the support beam, resulting in stable mounting.
Moreover, any of the above-mentioned sheet-like labels can be easily removed, and the sheet-like label can be easily attached and detached from the flowerpot container of the present invention. Moreover, since the overlapping part of the label is covered by the support beam, the appearance of the flowerpot container is good.
It has the effect of enhancing the aesthetic appearance during cultivation.
