Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a cover that surrounds the periphery of a flower pot to protect flowers, plants, etc. planted in the pot. It is related to a holder for holding.

(Problems with the prior art) Flower pot covers are generally made of synthetic resin film such as vinyl, and when expanded during use, they take on a cylindrical shape with an inverted truncated cone shape. It is crushed flat and folded flat like a trapezoidal piece of tissue paper, and is handled in stacks of 50, 100, or even several hundred sheets.

Until now, potted plant court companies and retailers have had to go through the following troublesome procedures when placing covers on pots.

That is, first, lay the covers on their sides and pile them up in a pile to prevent them from falling apart.

Then, peel off the single-sheet cover from the top of the pile.

Open the top of the cover with both hands (when removed, the sides of the cover are stuck together inside, flattened like a piece of tissue paper, and the top and bottom openings are closed).

Insert one hand through the open upper opening and expand the cover into a cylindrical shape.

After that, use one hand to pick up a part of the edge of the upper opening of the expanded cover and keep it in the raised state.

Pick up the flower pot with your other hand and insert it into the cover through the top opening.

After determining that the inserted pot is fitted into the small-diameter body of the cover, gently release your hand from the pot, and at that moment, use your released hand to grasp part of the edge of the top of the cover. (Use both hands to drop the pot into the open cover.) Next, gently shake the cover with both hands to prevent the cover from tearing so that the pot sits comfortably.

Finally, hold the pot with both hands and place it in its designated place.

The present invention aims to reduce the labor and burden of covering work that requires such a troublesome procedure.

(Means for solving the problem) The first idea is to plant at least two protrusions on the holder substrate so that they are almost side by side with an interval between them. The diameter of the through-hole is larger than that of the through-hole bored at the same interval as the protrusion, so that an appropriate number of the covers can be inserted and held at the same time on the protrusion through the through-hole. It is composed of

The second idea is to add at least two
The two protrusions are planted almost horizontally at intervals, and these protrusions are inserted into through holes drilled at the same intervals as the protrusions along the edge of the top of the flattened cover. The diameter is larger than the diameter, and the protrusion has a
A suitable number of the covers are inserted and held at once through the through-holes, and one edge of the upper opening of the cover is locked to the protrusion in the holder base plate, and the upper opening is secured to the holder substrate. When the other edge of the cover is removed from the protrusion and the cover is expanded into a cylindrical shape, a pedestal portion for receiving the bottom of the flowerpot inserted into the cover is placed at the open bottom opening of the cover. The configuration is as follows.

(Function of the invention) According to the first invention (described in the first registered claim), the cover having a thickness approximately corresponding to the length of the protrusion is held in an organized state.

In the cover hanging operation, even if the fingertip of one hand searches for the upper opening of the cover held most outwardly, the overlapping condition of the cover is not disturbed.

However, the upper opening of the cover closest to the outside, that is, on the side in the pulling direction, is opened as follows.

In other words, when the outer edge of the flattened upper mouth is pinched and pulled to remove it from the protrusion, the outer edge of the upper mouth that has been pinched will be removed from the protrusion before the inner upper edge. By pulling the pinched upper edge further to the extent that the unpinned side, that is, the inner upper edge, does not come off and is removed from the protrusion, the upper edge of only the outermost cover can be removed. opens.

According to the second invention (registered claim 7), one edge of the upper opening of the cover is locked to the protrusion, and the other edge of the upper opening is removed from the protrusion to form a cylindrical shape. When the flowerpot is expanded and inserted, the flowerpot is received by the pedestal part.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on drawings showing an example of implementation.

In FIG. 1, the reference numeral 10 in the figure is a holder substrate. Although the substrate 10 in the embodiment has a horizontally elongated plate shape, it may also be a vertically long and wide plate.
In short, any member can be used as long as it can fix the protrusion 11, which will be described next, and its shape does not matter.

At least two protrusions 11 are required to hold the cover 20 in a well-balanced manner, and the holder substrate 10 is arranged so that the protrusions 11 are arranged approximately horizontally with a distance between them.
It is planted in. In this embodiment, the minimum number of two protrusions 11, 11 are provided.

These two protrusions 11, 11, as shown in FIG.
A, 21B are arranged side by side, and the diameter is larger than the diameter of the through holes 23, 23 bored at the same interval as the projections 11. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, and FIG.
1, an appropriate number of the covers 20 are inserted into the through hole 2.
This is to allow the protrusions 11, 11 to hold it so that it does not fall off naturally when it is inserted through the protrusions 3, 23. Note that the reference numeral 30 in FIG. 3 is a flower pot.

Thread-like grooves 14 are formed on the circumferential surfaces of the protrusions 11, 11 in this embodiment to prevent the inserted cover 20 from falling off naturally. Protrusion 1
By making the lengths 1 and 11 longer, a number of covers 20 approximately corresponding to the length can be held at once.

During the covering operation, even if the fingertips of one hand search for the upper opening of the cover 20 which is held at the outermost position, the overlapping of the covers 20 is not disturbed. In other words, the covers are held in an organized state.

However, the upper opening 21 of the outermost cover 20
can be easily opened as follows:

That is, the cover 2 is flattened as shown in FIG.
When the outer edge 21A of the upper opening 21 of 0 is pinched and pulled to remove it from the protrusions 11, 11, the pinched outer edge 21A disengages the protrusions 11, 11 before the inner edge 21B. Out of 11.

Furthermore, the edge 21 on the inward side that is not pinched
When the pinched edge 21A is pulled to the extent that B does not come off from the protrusions 11, 11, the single cover held in the outermost position is removed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The upper opening 21 and lower opening 22 of the cover 20 are opened, and the entire cover 20 is expanded into a cylindrical shape.

Referring again to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, in the above embodiment, a pedestal portion 12 is further provided on the base plate 10 of the holder via a support arm 13.

The pedestal part 12 is for receiving the bottom of the flowerpot 30 inserted into the expanded cover 20. Therefore, the setting position of this pedestal part 12 is at one inner edge 21B of the upper opening 21 of the cover 20.
remains locked to the protrusions 11, 11, the other outer edge 21A is pulled out from the protrusions 11, 11, and the cover 20 is expanded into a cylindrical shape (as shown in Figs. 3 and 4). ), the cover 20 is located at a position corresponding to the open lower opening 22 of the cover 20.

The pedestal portion 12 may have any shape as long as it can accommodate the flower pot 30, and does not need to be limited to an elliptical shape as shown in the embodiment.

When such a pedestal part 12 is provided, the cover 20
When one edge 21B of is locked to the protrusions 11, 11, the other edge 21A is removed from the protrusions 11, 11 and expanded into a cylindrical shape, and the flowerpot 30 is inserted therein, The flower pot 30 can be placed on the pedestal part 12 and received. By doing this, when inserting the flower pot 30, the cover 20 may be damaged due to over-insertion.
damage can be reduced.

Also, without fear of damage to the cover 20, you can hold both mouth edges 2 of the cover 20 with both hands on the pedestal part 12.
1A and the mouth edge 21B, and shake it lightly, the sitting condition of the flower pot 30 within the cover 20 can be adjusted with peace of mind, that is, the cover 20 can be fitted to the flower pot 30.

The holder substrate 10 of the above embodiment includes a belt 31 for fixing to the body of the worker as means for attaching it to the body of the worker.

When the holder substrate 10 is attached to the body of a cover-hanging worker, for example, on the waist, a large number of covers 20 can be carried with both hands free. Therefore, the user can carry out the covering work while walking around the area where the flowerpots 30 are arranged.

This greatly improves work efficiency compared to the conventional work in which a bundle of many covers 20 was carried around or a flowerpot was carried to the side of a pile of many covers 20 and covered. be enhanced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the projection 11 of the above embodiment forms a large diameter portion 11A in which the diameter on the tip side is larger than the diameter on the base side. This large diameter portion 11
A prevents the cover 20 inserted into the projection 11 from falling off naturally.

In addition to this, the following may be considered as means for preventing the cover 20 inserted into the protrusion 11 from falling off naturally.

The protrusion 211 shown in FIG. 5 has its peripheral surface covered with a rubbery member 211A. In this case, as long as the rubber inertia member 211A has a sufficient anti-slip effect, the diameter of the projection may be the same over the entire length.

The protrusion 311 shown in FIG.
It is bent and extended so that X gradually becomes upward as it goes from the rear end 311Y to the distal end.

In this example, the diameter is the same over the entire length of the protrusion 311, but the diameter may be increased only at the tip.

(Effects of the invention) According to the first invention, it is possible to hold a large number of covers in an organized manner, and in the cover hanging operation, the outermost cover held with the fingertips of one hand is Even if you search for the opening of the cover, the overlapping condition of the cover will not be disturbed.

In addition, conventionally, it required both hands to open the close-fitting cover, but this can be done easily with one hand.

According to the second invention, in addition to the effects of the first invention, when inserting a flowerpot through the open mouth of the cover, there is a pedestal part that catches the bottom of the pot, so there is no need to be careful about how well it is inserted. Moreover, it is possible to avoid damage to the cover due to over-insertion or shaking when fitting the cover and pot.
