Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging device for packing and exposing at least one or more plants such as plants for decorative purposes.
  • a purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems related to the above mentioned devices.
  • a packaging device can include a package in which one or more plants are packed and which can be used to both produce an outer enclosure that can be made in a decorative way or include a decoration, such as an outer decorative flowerpot, and an inner part for receiving said one or more plants, for example in the same way as a vase or an inner flowerpot in which said one or more plants can be received or planted.
  • such a packaging device can be a simple, non-costly and attractive solution to the problems mentioned above.
  • a packaging device for packing and exposing at least one or more plants can include a package that encloses said one or more plants and is formed from a continuous sheet of a suitable material by folding it.
  • a plurality of embossed lines or creases for dividing and folding the sheet are provided in the surface of the sheet.
  • the embossed lines are made e.g. by pressing, embossing, punching, perforating completely or partly through the sheet.
  • the sheet can be divided along some of the embossed lines to form two parts, a separate outer box and a separate inner box so that the inner box forms a flowerpot and the outer box forms a decorative enclosure or a so called outer decorative flowerpot or so that the boxes together form a vase.
  • the sheet can have flaps at its edges that match holes that are made at embossed lines or at other places in the sheet. In the folding operation a coupling of the edges to each other is achieved by tucking flaps into the holes in order to hold the package together for said one or more plants and thereby to hold the later on formed boxes to each other.
  • the enclosing package containing said one or more plants can have a tapering body or main part which has flat or possibly arched side surfaces and one end of which has a width, taken across the body, that is larger than the width of the other end thereof.
  • the body has to be only weakly tapering or generally only so much tapering that placing the inner box in the outer box is allowed.
  • the body can also have an elongated shape.
  • the embossed lines along which the package is divided to form the outer box and the inner box can extend across the body, at the middle part thereof. Said other end can form the bottom part of the inner box and the first end the bottom part of the outer box when the inner box is placed -in the outer box and the two boxes rests on a support, e.g. a table or a window sill.
  • the body can, in a cross-sectional view, have the shape of a closed polygon and then particularly a substantially regular enclosed polygon, e.g. a rectangular, circular, quadratic polygon or a hexagon or octagon, or have an elliptic shape or similar, or generally any shape that allows the inner box to be placed in the outer box.
  • the outer box and the inner box can, when the inner box is placed in the outer box, together have an upper portion at which edges having flaps are provided which flaps can be folded in and over the edges, from for example the outer box in and down into the inner box, the boxes thereby being fixed as to their positions at each other.
  • the inner surface thereof can have a water-proof material, i.e. a material that is non-permeable to liquids, such as e.g. a polymer film, aluminium foil or a layer that is bonded adhesively or attached only at points, laminated or in a similar way to the inner surface of the inner box.
  • Flaps can be provided to form a carrying handle to carry the package before its opened to unpack said one or more plants. Other flaps can be used to form a bottom of the package when it encloses said one or more plants. These flaps can also form a bottom of the inner box for the unpacked one or more plants.
  • the outer box or the outer decorative flowerpot i.e. the outer surface of the combined box
  • the outer box or the outer decorative flowerpot can be made as a decorative enclosure and for example be provided with a message such as e.g. a congratulation, a tribute, a navalar text, a text worth considering, a serious text, a picture or similar devices.
  • the body can include four sides which are folded in an angle of substantially 90° in relation to each other, as seen in a cross-sectional view, and the width of which across the body for example can be at least three times smaller than a distance between the ends of the body or of the sides.
  • the sheet can have a suitable thickness, such as e.g. between 1 mm and 4 mm, to provide a good stability of the package and boxes.
  • an outer box and an inner box or vase can be achieved by dividing the very package itself. This can save money for a user since neither a flowerpot, a decorative enclosing pot, a vase or a decorative enclosure or a separate congratulation/celebration card have to be purchased.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a package containing a decorative plant
  • - Fig. 2 is a view from the front of a flat sheet provided to form, by folding, the package illustrated in Fig. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an inner box placed in an outer box, the boxes formed by dividing the package illustrated in Fig. 1 and the decorative plant placed such as planted in the inner box.
  • the packaging device 1 shown in Fig. 1 is intended for one or more decorative plants 2, such as one or more living plants or portions thereof, in particular a simple "flower” or bunch of flowers, i.e. one or more cut flowers, or a pot-plant, i.e. a whole plant including the root.
  • the packaging device 1 includes a package 6 that is made as an enclosure enclosing said one or more decorative plants.
  • the package 6 includes a main part 11, also called a body, having side surfaces 25, which as shown can be flat and can be provided in the number of four, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the number of side surfaces of a package of the illustrated kind generally can equally well have any suitable value larger than two.
  • the main part can generally be tapering, in an upward or downward direction and then it can have the shape of the frustum of a con or of a pyramid having a peak angle that for example can be relatively small, e.g. between 1 and 10°.
  • the body can as shown be elongated but also low packages are conceivable for plants of special kinds such as some cactuses.
  • the body has a longitudinal axis extending centrally inside it from the bottom of the package with which the package suitably can rest on a support, up to the upper portion thereof.
  • the first end 12 of the body at the upper part of the package has a width 17 in a cross direction, i.e. perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the main part, which in a preferred case is larger than the width 28 of the other end 13 thereof at the bottom of the package.
  • the width at the upper part is smaller than the width at the bottom.
  • One or more embossed lines 5.1, 5.2 for dividing or separating an upper part of the body 11 from a lower part of the body extend substantially across the body 11 and generally at the middle portion 14 of the body over the sides 25. As shown, for example two parallel embossed lines can be provided. After dividing along such embossed lines 5.2, the upper part of the main part forms an outer box 7 and the lower part an inner box 8, see Fig. 3. Then the ending portion, which as shown is a surface extending in a cross direction and forms the bottom of the package, forms at the other, lower end 13 of the body 11 the bottom portion 15 of the inner box 8 and the ending part of the body at the first end 12 forms the bottom part 16 of the outer box 7.
  • the package 6 is produced from a continuous sheet 3 of a suitable material, for example cardboard, carton or a similar material, the surface of which has a multitude of embossed lines for dividing and folding the sheet 3.
  • the side surfaces 25 all have, in the shown embodiment, the shape of a symmetric trapeze having a height, i.e. a distance between the parallel sides at the upper end lower portions of the package, that as shown for example can be significantly larger than each of these parallel sides but, as has been mentioned above, this is not necessary.
  • the side surfaces all have the same shape and this shape can be seen as being the lower portion of an isosceles triangle which has a peak angle that for example can be relatively small, e.g. between 1 and 10°.
  • the side surfaces are arranged having their oblique sides connected to each other along embossed lines 5.3 except two outer, free sides 19.1, 19.2 and form a main part 29 of the sheet 3 having a fanlike shape.
  • the fanlike main part 29 has at the two free sides 19.1, 19.2 flaps 18.1, 18.2, two at each free side, one of which is arranged at each side of the middle embossed line/lines 5.1, 5.2. They connect to a corresponding side surface 25 at embossed lines 5.4, 5.5.
  • the flaps 18.1 at one 19.1 of the free sides are intended to cooperate with and fit into holes 20 formed in the side surface 25 at the flaps 18.2 at the other free side 19.2.
  • flaps 18.3 can as shown be provided at the upper side or edge 19.3 of for example two of the side surfaces 25 which connect to the respective side surface at embossed lines 5.6 and are made to include holes 23 to form, after the folding of the sheet, the lid 30 of the package and a carrying handle 31 for the package 6, see Fig. 1.
  • Folding lines 5,7 can then be provided at the portion that forms the carrying handle 31.
  • flaps 18.4, 18.5 can be provided for forming, after folding the sheet, the bottom part 15 of the package.
  • the flaps 18.4, 18.5 connect to the corresponding side surface 25 along embossed lines 5.8 and one of the flaps has an outer portion 32 that can be folded in along an embossed line 5.9.
  • the central, embossed line/lines 5.1, 5.2 extending in a cross direction is/are as shown advantageously parallel to the parallel sides 19.3, 19.4 of the trapeze shape of the side surfaces 25. If two such parallel embossed lines are provided short embossed lines 5.7 can be provided that extend obliquely between the parallel embossed lines and extend as shown for example from the points where the upper one 5.1 of the parallel embossed lines intersects the oblique lines of the parallel trapeze shape of the side surfaces 25.
  • the area between these short embossed lines can after dividing the package 6 including a separating operation along the lower one 5.2 of the parallel embossed lines form flaps 18.5 that project from the formed upper part, i.e. the outer box 7.
  • these flaps can instead be made to project from the inner box 8 by making the short embossed lines extend from the points where the lower one 5.2 of the parallel embossed lines intersects the oblique sides of the trapeze shape of the side surfaces 25, and dividing the package along the upper one 5.1 of the parallel embossed lines.
  • the package 6 can be divided into two parts along one of the embossed lines 5.1, 5.2, according to the drawings along the lower one thereof, to form an outer box 7 and an inner box 8.
  • the inner box can then be placed inside the outer box, provided that the Hd 30 including the carrying handle 31 is removed or is pressed into the outer box 7, so that the inner box then will form for example a flowerpot or a vase 9 for said one or more decorative plants 2 and the outer box will then form a decorative enclosure 10.
  • the outer box 7 encloses the inner box 8 and the boxes have then together an upper portion 21 where the flaps 18.5 from the outer box 7 are folded in and down into the inner box 8.
  • the inner box 8 has an interior surface 22 on which a material 20 non-permeable to liquids is advantageously provided.
  • the flaps 18.4 at the other lower end 13 of the package 6 are folded to form the bottom portion 15 of the package 6 and hence a bottom 24 of the flowerpot or the vase 9 so that the boxes 7, 8 can rest on a support 26.
