Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a bouquet handle that can be held by a person or placed in a fixed place to display flowers.

(Prior art) Conventionally, this type of bouquet handle has been made by expanding the holder body, which has an expanded edge having a large number of through holes separated by a partition frame, which is continuous with the upper edge of a hollow cylinder with a bottom. After filling the inside of the expanded edge with a foamable water-absorbing material, a cap having a large number of through holes separated by a partition frame is placed over the expanded edge and can be freely fitted and removed at the periphery of the expanded edge. It is known that a device configured to be able to stop the
(See Publication No. 27657). In this prior art, by putting water into the cylindrical body of the holder body and tilting the holder body, the water inside the cylindrical body can be replenished to the foamable water-absorbing material.

However, with the conventional bouquet handle, water cannot be replenished into the foamable water-absorbing material unless the holder body is tilted. However, a bouquet handle is something that is held by a person or placed in a certain place to display flowers, and when held by a person, it is used at a wedding reception, etc. for a short time to replenish the flowers arranged on the bouquet handle with water. What is needed is the time between arranging the flowers and holding them. Therefore, even if water is placed inside the cylinder, the holder body must be tilted at appropriate times.
It is extremely troublesome, and even if you arrange the bouquet handles the night before a wedding, etc., you will not be able to refill the water unless you tilt the holder itself in the middle of the night. Furthermore, when the bouquet handle is left stationary for display, there is the same problem as above in that the holder must be tilted at appropriate times.

Furthermore, when a person holds the bouquet handle and tilts the holder body, too much water comes out of the cylinder and drips onto the floor from the foaming water-absorbing material.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application has already proposed a bouquet handle that allows water to be constantly replenished without tilting the bouquet handle.

The previously proposed bouquet handle has a cage-like lidded flower holder that can house a water-absorbing foam made of foamed synthetic resin that can be used to insert and arrange flowers, and is connected to the hollow handle body, which injects water into the handle body. A fibrous body that causes capillary action is inserted, and the fibrous body is fixed inside the handle body at the connection part between the handle body and the flower holder, and a plug body is fitted to prevent large amounts of water from leaking out. This is what I did.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, recently, fresh flower arrangements have been increasingly used for window displays and interior decoration, but the conventional bouquet handles mentioned above do not replenish water inside the handle body. It's a hassle,
There was a problem in that fresh flowers arranged in bouquet handles were not used because people often forgot to add water and the flowers tended to wither.

This invention was created in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to display the bouquet handles used at weddings, etc., in one's own room as interior decoration, with the fresh flowers still arranged. To provide a bouquet handle that can maintain freshness for a long time and can be used for a display with a delicate and seasonal feel as a new style.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the present invention, the following technical measures were taken in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the present invention provides a handle body 2 having a hollow flower holder 4 with a cage-like lid 5 that can house a water-absorbing foam 3 made of foamed synthetic resin into which flowers can be inserted and arranged.
A fiber body 8 is connected to the handle body and injects water into the handle body and causes capillary action.
A fibrous body 8 is fixed in the handle body 2 at the connecting part between the handle body 2 and the flower holder 4, and a plug body 6 is fitted to prevent a large amount of water from leaking out. A feature is that a bottom cover 11 is removably provided on the bottom.

(Function) According to the present invention, after arranging fresh flowers on the water absorbent foam, the bottom cover is removed and water is injected into the handle body. Water within the handle body rises due to capillary action in the fibers and constantly replenished into the absorbent foam. Even if the bouquet handle is tilted, the presence of the stopper prevents the water inside the handle body from being directly absorbed into the water-absorbing foam, and it is always replenished into the water-absorbing foam through the fibrous material, making the water absorbent No water drips from the foam.

Therefore, when using it as an interior, etc.
If you remove the bottom cover and place it in a container such as a flask containing water, the water in the container will be replenished into the water-absorbing foam through the fibers, and by adding water to the container, it will be arranged into the form. Flowers can keep their freshness for a long time.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing, 1 is a bouquet handle, 2 is a hollow handle body with an opening 2B at the bottom, 3 is a water-absorbent foam made of foamed synthetic resin, 4 is a flower holder that stores the water-absorbent foam 3, and 5 is a cage-shaped lid. , 11 is a bottom cover of the handle body, which is provided on the main body 11 in a watertight manner and can be freely fitted and removed. The handle body 2 and the flower holder 4 are integrally molded from synthetic resin, and the connecting portion between the two, that is, the neck 2A, has a
A stepped portion 7 for locking the stopper 6 is formed. 8 is a fibrous body (e.g. glass fiber, twine, etc.) that causes capillary action, and its upper end is connected to the center hole 9 of the plug body 6.
It penetrates through and is compressed by the water-absorbing foam 3 and the upper surface of the stopper 6, and its lower end is located at the inner bottom of the handle body 2. Therefore, the water injected into the handle body 2 rises through the fibrous body 8 and is constantly replenished into the water-absorbing foam 3.

The flower holder 4 is cup-shaped, and the upper end is adapted to be covered with a lid 5, and a lid-locking protrusion 10 is protruded at an appropriate location. It is locked to the lower end frame 5A and is detachable.

As described above, the lid 5 has a cage-like structure with a frame, so that it is easy to insert flowers into the water-absorbing foam 3 inside.

The plug body 6 is made of wood, synthetic resin, rubber,
Furthermore, it is made of a foamed synthetic resin material, sponge rubber, etc., and has a ring shape with a center hole 9. However, this plug body 6 may be formed by rolling a soft foamed synthetic resin band plate 6A so as to wrap it around the fiber body 8 as shown in FIG. 4 and inserting it into the neck portion 2A.

The bottom cover 11 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, the upper half of the outer peripheral surface is a fitting part 11A for the opening 2B, and the lower half is provided with a vertical groove 12 over the entire circumference. The bottom cover 11 is designed to be easily fitted and removed.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, the bottom cover may have a substantially disc shape.

(Effects of the invention) Since the bouquet handle according to the invention has the above-described structure, after arranging cut flowers in the water-absorbing foam, the bottom cover can be removed and water can be injected into the handle body, thereby arranging the flowers. It is light and easy to work with. The water inside the handle body constantly rises up the fiber body and an appropriate amount is replenished into the water-absorbing foam.
Fresh flowers placed in a water-absorbing foam absorb water from this foam, increasing the durability of the fresh flowers and not damaging the stems.You can arrange fresh flowers on the bouquet handle the day before the wedding or other day when the bouquet is required. This way, when someone holds the bouquet, there is no need to worry about water dripping even if the bouquet handle is tilted.Furthermore, even when the bouquet is left upright, the bouquet handle can be easily held. There is no need to worry about tilting the flowers, the freshness of fresh flowers can be maintained for a long time, and the decorative effect can be enhanced.

Furthermore, if you want to use it as an interior decoration after using it at a wedding, etc., or as a display for business purposes, you can put it in a container filled with water, such as a flask, with the bottom lid removed. It is possible to maintain freshness for a long time, make effective use of fresh flowers, and enhance the decorative effect as a new display with a delicate and seasonal feel. The lifespan of the flowers can be further extended by adding a flower life-extending agent to the water inside the handle body.
