Description
"Récipient destiné à recevoir des objets de forme allongée notamment vase à fleurs, dont l'entrée comporte des moyens pour retenir les objets"
La présente invention concerne un récipient destiné à recevoir des objets de forme allongée, notamment un vase à fleurs, comportant une entrée destinée à livrer passage à une longueur prédéterminée des objets."Container intended to receive elongated objects in particular a flower vase, the entrance of which includes means for retaining the objects"
The present invention relates to a container intended to receive elongated objects, in particular a flower vase, comprising an entry intended to allow passage to a predetermined length of the objects.
La beauté d'un bouquet de fleurs dépend non seulement de sa composition mais également du vase dans lequel il est conservé. En effet, lorsque le vase utilisé est trop grand, les fleurs ont tendance à se séparer les unes des autres et à se répartir à la périphérie de l'entrée du vase en s'inclinant fortement vers l'extérieur. Une telle répartition des fleurs a malheureusement un effet néfaste sur la configuration et la beauté du bouquet. The beauty of a bouquet of flowers depends not only on its composition but also on the vase in which it is kept. In fact, when the vase used is too large, the flowers tend to separate from each other and to spread out around the periphery of the vase's entrance, tilting sharply outwards. Such a distribution of flowers unfortunately has a detrimental effect on the configuration and the beauty of the bouquet.
Par ailleurs, lorsque les fleuristes vendent des fleurs en bouquet, ils les disposent dans des emballages qu'ils réalisent généralement sur place à partir d'une bande de matériau transparent. Ces emballages ne donnent toutefois pas pleinement satisfaction aux fleuristes qui les trouvent difficiles et fastidieux à confectionner, ni aux clients pour qui ils sont encombrants. In addition, when florists sell flowers in a bouquet, they place them in packages that they usually make on site from a strip of transparent material. However, these packages are not fully satisfactory to florists who find them difficult and tedious to make, nor to customers for whom they are bulky.
La présente invention se propose d'apporter une solution aux problèmes décrits cidessus et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un récipient, notamment un vase à fleurs, qui se caractérise en ce que son entrée est pourvue de moyens de retenue pour maintenir regroupés les objets introduits partiellement dans le récipient et pour s'opposer à leur extraction hors de celui-ci. The present invention proposes to provide a solution to the problems described above and, to do this, it relates to a container, in particular a flower vase, which is characterized in that its inlet is provided with retaining means to keep grouped objects partially introduced into the container and to prevent their extraction from it.
Les fleurs disposées dans un vase conforme à l'invention restent les unes contre les autres dans une position pratiquement verticale, même si elles sont peu nombreuses. The flowers arranged in a vase according to the invention remain against each other in a practically vertical position, even if they are few.
Le bouquet qu'elles constituent conserve donc sa configuration et sa beauté d'origine.The bouquet they constitute therefore retains its original configuration and beauty.
Le vase conforme à l'invention peut par ailleurs être utilisé comme emballage par le fleuriste, ses moyens de retenue s'opposant à une extraction accidentelle ou involontaire des fleurs pendant le transport. The vase according to the invention can moreover be used as packaging by the florist, its retaining means being opposed to an accidental or involuntary extraction of the flowers during transport.
La confection fastidieuse des emballages de bouquets de fleurs actuels à partir d'un matériau en bande peut donc maintenant être évitée. Le transport des bouquets disposés dans des vases conformes à l'invention est en outre facilité, ces derniers étant moins encombrants que les emballages de bouquets classiques. The tedious preparation of packages of current flower bouquets from strip material can therefore now be avoided. The transport of the bouquets arranged in vases in accordance with the invention is also facilitated, the latter being less bulky than the packaging of conventional bouquets.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, les moyens de retenue sont constitués par des languettes radiales fixées à la périphérie de l'entrée et dont les extrémités libres sont toumées vers le centre de cette dernière, les languettes fléchissant vers l'intérieur du récipient lors de l'introduction des objets et s'arc-boutant contre ceuxci lors de leur extraction. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the retaining means are constituted by radial tongues fixed at the periphery of the inlet and whose free ends are rotated towards the center of the latter, the tongues bending inwards of the container during the introduction of the objects and bracing against them during their extraction.
On notera ici que pour pouvoir extraire les objets hors du récipient, il suffit d'exercer une pression vers le bas sur les languettes afin de dégager les objets de l'emprise de ces dernières, cette pression pouvant être exercée d'une main tandis que l'extraction des objets peut être réalisée de l'autre main. It will be noted here that in order to be able to extract the objects from the container, it suffices to exert downward pressure on the tongues in order to release the objects from the latter's grip, this pressure being able to be exerted with one hand while objects can be extracted with the other hand.
De préférence, les languettes sont adjacentes tandis que leurs extrémités libres délimitent une ouverture dont le centre coïncide avec le centre de l'entrée. Preferably, the tongues are adjacent while their free ends delimit an opening whose center coincides with the center of the entry.
Le récipient conforme à l'invention se caractérise en outre en ce qu'il peut être réalisé en matière plastique moulée et en ce que les moyens de retenue peuvent être réalisés d'une seule pièce avec le récipient. The container according to the invention is further characterized in that it can be made of molded plastic and in that the retaining means can be made in one piece with the container.
Deux modes d'exécution de la présente invention seront décrits ci-après à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective schématique d'un récipient conforme à l'invention, destiné à recevoir des objets allongés tels que des cannes ou des parapluies et
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe schématique d'un vase à fleurs conforme à l'invention.Two embodiments of the present invention will be described below by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a container according to the invention, intended to receive elongated objects such as canes or umbrellas and
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of a flower vase according to the invention.
La figure 1 représente un récipient destiné à recevoir des objets allongés tels que des cannes ou des parapluies, tandis que la figure 2 représente un vase à fleurs. Figure 1 shows a container for receiving elongated objects such as canes or umbrellas, while Figure 2 shows a flower vase.
Le récipient visible sur la figure 1 permet de maintenir les objets les uns contre les autres en position pratiquement verticale, même si le nombre des objets qu'il contient est faible. The container visible in Figure 1 keeps the objects against each other in a substantially vertical position, even if the number of objects it contains is small.
Il comporte un corps cylindrique 1 pourvu d'un fond plat 2 et d'une entrée 3 espacée axialement du fond 2. It comprises a cylindrical body 1 provided with a flat bottom 2 and an inlet 3 axially spaced from the bottom 2.
L'entrée 3 est pourvue de moyens de retenue 4 destinés à maintenir les objets regroupés les uns contre les autres après leur mise en place dans le récipient et à empêcher une extraction intempestive des objets hors de ce dernier. The inlet 3 is provided with retaining means 4 intended to hold the objects grouped together against each other after they have been placed in the container and to prevent inadvertent extraction of the objects from the latter.
Les moyens de retenue 4 sont constitués par des languettes radiales S fixées à la périphérie de l'entrée 3 et dont les extrémités libres sont tournées vers le centre de cette dernière. The retaining means 4 are constituted by radial tongues S fixed at the periphery of the inlet 3 and whose free ends are turned towards the center of the latter.
Les languettes S sont flexibles de façon à pouvoir fléchir vers l'intérieur du récipient lors de l'introduction des objets et à s'arc-bouter contre ceux-ci lors de leur extraction. Elles sont disposées les unes à la suite des autres et ne laissent pas ou pratiquement pas d'espace libre entre elles. En outre, leurs extrémités libres délimitent une ouverture circulaire 6 dont le centre coïncide avec le centre de l'entrée 3. The tongues S are flexible so as to be able to flex towards the inside of the container during the introduction of the objects and to brace against them during their extraction. They are arranged one after the other and leave little or no free space between them. In addition, their free ends define a circular opening 6, the center of which coincides with the center of the inlet 3.
Il va de soi que le récipient pourrait avoir une section transversale carrée ou rectangulaire. Dans ce cas, les languettes S pourraient être réalisées de telle sorte que leurs extrémités libres délimitent une ouverture non plus circulaire mais carrée ou rectangulaire. It goes without saying that the container could have a square or rectangular cross section. In this case, the tongues S could be produced so that their free ends delimit an opening which is no longer circular but square or rectangular.
Le vase à fleurs représenté sur la figure 2 comporte un corps la ayant une paroi latérale bombée, un fond plat 2a et une entrée 3a située au-dessus du fond 2a. The flower vase shown in Figure 2 has a body 1a having a curved side wall, a flat bottom 2a and an inlet 3a located above the bottom 2a.
L'entrée 3a est pourvue à son tour de moyens de retenue 4a destinés à regrouper les fleurs les unes contre les autres et à empêcher une extraction ultérieure involontaire de ces fleurs. The inlet 3a is in turn provided with retaining means 4a intended to group the flowers against each other and to prevent an involuntary subsequent extraction of these flowers.
Les moyens de retenue 4a sont constitués ici encore par des languettes radiales fixées à la périphérie de l'entrée 3a et dont les extrémités libres sont tournées vers le centre de cette dernière et délimitent une ouverture circulaire 6a centrée sur l'axe longitudinal du vase. The retaining means 4a here again consist of radial tongues fixed to the periphery of the inlet 3a and whose free ends are turned towards the center of the latter and delimit a circular opening 6a centered on the longitudinal axis of the vessel.
On notera ici que le récipient et le vase visibles sur les figures 1 et 2 sont de préférence réalisés en matière plastique moulée et que les languettes radiales S et Sa sont respectivement venues de matière avec les corps 1 et la. It will be noted here that the container and the vase visible in FIGS. 1 and 2 are preferably made of molded plastic and that the radial tongues S and Sa have come integrally with the bodies 1 and 1a respectively.
Bien entendu, les languettes S et Sa pourraient être réalisées indépendamment des corps 1 et la et être fixées sur ces derniers par collage, soudage, emboîtement, etc... Of course, the tongues S and Sa could be produced independently of the bodies 1 and la and be fixed to the latter by gluing, welding, interlocking, etc.
Il ressort clairement de ce qui précède que les récipients conformes à l'invention permettent de maintenir les objets les uns contre les autres en position pratiquement verticale, même s'ils sont peu nombreux, et s'opposent à ce que les objets soient extraits involontairement. It is clear from the above that the containers according to the invention make it possible to keep the objects against one another in a practically vertical position, even if they are few in number, and prevent the objects from being removed involuntarily .
Dans le cas particulier où les récipients sont des vases à fleurs, ceux-ci peuvent être utilisés comme emballages par les fleuristes, ce qui évite à ces derniers de confectionner sur place des emballages à partir d'un matériau en bande. In the particular case where the containers are flower vases, these can be used as packaging by florists, which prevents them from making on-site packaging from a strip material.
