Description

La présente invention concerne un contenant à usage unique, du type vase, prévu pour recevoir des produits filiformes, notamment des fleurs. Ce contenant est à usage unique mais il est utilisé tant pour le transport que pour le stockage et la présentation de ces fleurs.The present invention relates to a single-use container, of the type vase, intended to receive filiform products, in particular flowers. This container is for single use but it is used both for transport and for the storage and presentation of these flowers.

On connaít le problème que soulève le fait d'offrir des fleurs ou d'en acheter : il faut trouver un vase adapté. Ceci est généralement relativement aisé quand il s'agit d'un domicile présentant un équipement ménager minimum. Encore que, dans le cas de fleurs particulièrement hautes ou au contraire petites ou encore présentant un gros volume, le vase est bien souvent mal adapté.We know the problem raised by offering flowers or buy: find a suitable vase. This is generally relatively easy when it comes to a home with household equipment minimum. Although, in the case of particularly tall flowers or contrary small or still having a large volume, the vase is well often ill-suited.

Le problème est encore plus important lorsque les fleurs sont offertes dans un lieu non équipé comme un bureau, une chambre médicale ou un lieu public.The problem is even more important when the flowers are offered in an unequipped place such as an office, a medical room or a place public.

Le fait de ne pas disposer de vase est un frein notable à l'achat de fleurs coupées.The fact of not having a vase is a notable obstacle to the purchase of flowers cut.

Les fleurs souffrent également bien souvent d'une mise au sec entre le lieu d'achat et le lieu d'exposition. Pour autant que la durée se trouve allongée ou que les conditions de température soient au-delà de ce qui est supportable par lesdites fleurs, il peut se produire de dégâts irréversibles et dans tous les cas un vieillissement accéléré. The flowers also often suffer from drying out between the place of purchase and place of exhibition. As long as the duration is extended or that the temperature conditions are beyond what is bearable by said flowers, irreversible damage may occur and in all accelerated aging.

De plus, il est souhaitable d'ajouter à l'eau dans laquelle trempent les pieds des fleurs des produits de traitement de l'eau en vue d'une meilleure conservation de cette eau stagnante et d'un nourrissage adapté de la fleur.In addition, it is desirable to add to the water in which the flower feet of water treatment products for better conservation of this stagnant water and suitable nourishment of the flower.

De façon connue, des sachets de poudre ayant une composition adaptée à ces fonctions permettent de remplir cette fonction. Le contenu du sachet est simplement versé dans l'eau, au moment du remplissage du vase.In known manner, sachets of powder having a suitable composition these functions allow you to perform this function. The contents of the sachet are simply poured into water, when filling the vase.

Néanmoins, il faut disposer de ce sachet et il faut procéder à cette opération supplémentaire.However, you must have this sachet and you must do this additional operation.

Une fois les fleurs fanées, il faut ensuite nettoyer le vase et le ranger en un lieu où il monopolise de la place inutilement pendant une période qui peut être très variable.Once the flowers have wilted, you must then clean the vase and put it away a place where it monopolizes space unnecessarily for a period that can be very variable.

On connaít par la demande de brevet FR-A-2 699 383 un vase à fleurs pliant à usage unique. Ce vase présente le gros inconvénient d'être instable par les pliages qu'il comprend et surtout par l'absence de lien de maintien du bouquet en partie haute du vase qui, outre l'aspect esthétique, permet un maintien des tiges des fleurs centrées par rapport à la base.We know from patent application FR-A-2 699 383 a flower vase folding single use. This vase has the big drawback of being unstable by the folds it understands and especially by the absence of a link to maintain the bouquet in the upper part of the vase which, in addition to the aesthetic aspect, allows a keeping the flower stems centered with respect to the base.

On connaít par le document WO-A-9637133 (Fig.12) un contenant selon le préambule de la revendication 1.Document WO-A-9637133 (Fig. 12) discloses a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Afin de pallier à ces problèmes, la présente invention propose un contenant à usage unique qui peut être stocké par emboítements successifs, qui est d'une grande stabilité, même sans liquide à l'intérieur, qui est étanche pour autoriser le remplissage avec un liquide, qui est adapté dans ses dimensions à un type de produit, qui présente éventuellement des accessoires tels que des produits de conservation et de nourrissage des fleurs dans le cas particulier de la fleur coupée, qui peut être décoré, qui est recyclable en fin d'usage et qui est d'un prix de revient très peu élevé pour autoriser une large diffusion.In order to overcome these problems, the present invention provides a single-use container which can be stored in successive cases, which is very stable, even without liquid inside, which is waterproof to allow filling with a liquid, which is suitable in its dimensions to a type of product, which possibly has accessories such as preserving and nourishing flowers in the case particular of the cut flower, which can be decorated, which is recyclable at the end of use and which is of a very low cost price to authorize a large diffusion.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un contenant à usage unique selon la revendication 1. To this end, the invention provides a disposable container according to claim 1.

Il est même prévu un lien suivant la ligne de serrage située dans la zone de serrage.There is even a link along the tightening line located in the clamping area.

Ce lien est rapporté et solidarisé au moins en un point, sur l'extérieur de l'enveloppe.This link is reported and secured at least at one point, on the outside of the envelope.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'enveloppe est réalisée dans un matériau étanche.According to one embodiment, the envelope is made of a material waterproof.

Par exemple, le matériau utilisé est du carton traité pour être résistant aux liquides.For example, the material used is cardboard treated to be resistant liquids.

Il est aussi prévu des zones de renfort.Reinforcement zones are also provided.

Dans le cas de fleurs, le contenant comprend des produits de conservation et de nourrissage intégrés.In the case of flowers, the container includes integrated conservation and feeding.

Selon un perfectionnement, les produits de conservation et de nourrissage sont disposés dans une enveloppe soluble à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe.According to an improvement, the conservation and feeding are arranged in a soluble envelope inside the envelope.

La présente invention est maintenant décrite en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels les différentes figures représentent :

  • figure 1, une vue en perspective d'un contenant selon l'invention, avant utilisation,
  • figure 2, une vue identique à celle de figure 1, mais en cours d'utilisation,
  • figure 3, une vue en coupe médiane du contenant selon l'invention, tel que représenté sur la figure 1.
The present invention is now described with reference to the appended drawings in which the various figures represent:
  • FIG. 1, a perspective view of a container according to the invention, before use,
  • FIG. 2, a view identical to that of FIG. 1, but in use,
  • FIG. 3, a view in median section of the container according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 1.

Sur la figure 1, le contenant comprend un enveloppe extérieure 10, en l'occurrence, un tronc de cône dans le mode de réalisation retenu, avec un fond 12 et une ouverture 14. Il est en outre prévu une zone 16 de serrage radial.In FIG. 1, the container comprises an outer envelope 10, in the occurrence, a truncated cone in the selected embodiment, with a bottom 12 and an opening 14. There is further provided a tightening zone 16 radial.

Dans l'exemple représenté, l'enveloppe est réalisée en carton traitée pour le rendre étanche soit par apport d'un film plastique soit par incorporation d'un polymère lors de la réalisation du carton. Néanmoins, ce ne sont là que des exemples et toute matière étanche pourra être retenue.In the example shown, the envelope is made of treated cardboard to make it waterproof either by adding a plastic film or by incorporation of a polymer when making the cardboard. However, these are only examples and any waterproof material may be retained.

Sur la figure 3, on voit une vue en coupe qui laisse apparaítre l'épaisseur e de l'enveloppe ainsi que les renforts 18 et 20 respectivement supérieur et inférieur. Ces renforts sont avantageusement réalisés par pliage de l'enveloppe sur elle-même lors de la fabrication.In Figure 3, we see a sectional view which reveals the thickness e of the envelope and the reinforcements 18 and 20 respectively upper and lower. These reinforcements are advantageously produced by folding the envelope on itself during manufacture.

Le renfort inférieur devra présenter une épaisseur suffisante pour reprendre les efforts de compression engendrés par le poids du contenu, eau et fleurs dans le cas présent. La partie inférieure elle-même peut-être renforcée sur toute sa périphérie.The lower reinforcement must be thick enough to resume the compression forces generated by the weight of the contents, water and flowers in this case. The lower part itself can be reinforced all over its periphery.

La zone 16 de serrage comprend une ligne 22 de liage et des marquages 24 permettant de favoriser la formation de plis.The clamping zone 16 comprises a binding line 22 and 24 markings to promote the formation of folds.

L'utilisation de ce type de contenant est relativement simple puisqu'il suffit d'introduire les tiges des fleurs dans le contenant selon l'invention, par l'ouverture 14. Lorsque les tiges reposent sur le fond 12, il convient d'ajouter un volume d'eau adapté, puis de serrer manuellement le contenant, radialement, suivant la ligne 22 de liage pour former naturellement des plis suivant les marquages 24 prévus à cet effet.The use of this type of container is relatively simple since it suffices to introduce the stems of the flowers into the container according to the invention, by the opening 14. When the rods rest on the bottom 12, it is advisable to add a suitable volume of water, then manually tighten the container, radially, along the tying line 22 to naturally form folds following the markings 24 provided for this purpose.

Un lien 26, de préférence fourni avec le contenant , est ensuite serré autour de la ligne 22 de liage pour maintenir l'enveloppe dans cette position.A link 26, preferably supplied with the container, is then tightened around the line 22 of binding to maintain the envelope in this position.

Le lien est avantageusement solidarisé à l'enveloppe en un point 28 appartenant à la ligne de liage, notamment par collage, pour qu'il soit immédiatement disponible pour l'utilisateur et prépositionné.The link is advantageously secured to the envelope at a point 28 belonging to the binding line, in particular by gluing, so that it is immediately available to the user and prepositioned.

Esthétiquement parlant, l'enveloppe et le lien peuvent être de plus assortis dans la décoration.Aesthetically speaking, the envelope and the link can be more assorted in decoration.

On obtient alors le contenant représenté sur la figure 2, avec des fleurs, contenant qui fait office de vase.We then obtain the container shown in Figure 2, with flowers, container that acts as a vase.

Selon un perfectionnement, il est possible d'introduire préalablement le produit de conservation et de nourrissage des fleurs dans une enveloppe soluble, à l'intérieur du contenant, collée à la paroi intérieure par exemple. Dans ce cas, la simple introduction de l'eau provoque la solubilisation de l'enveloppe et la libération du produit de conservation et de nourrissage.According to an improvement, it is possible to introduce the preserving and nourishing flowers in an envelope soluble, inside the container, glued to the interior wall for example. In this case, the simple introduction of water causes the solubilization of the envelope and the release of the preserving and nourishing product.

L'intérêt du contenant selon l'invention est la zone de serrage qui assure un maintien des fleurs, ce qui donne un plus joli port et assure une meilleure présentation. Mais cette zone a aussi un rôle purement mécanique dans le sens où elle conduit à une bonne stabilité de l'ensemble puisque les fleurs ne peuvent toutes pencher du même côté et provoquer un renversement. Ceci est important car seul le poids des fleurs et de l'eau permet de maintenir l'ensemble stable. En effet, il n'est plus possible de compter sur le poids du vase en verre ou céramique.The advantage of the container according to the invention is the clamping zone which ensures flowers are maintained, which gives a prettier appearance and ensures better presentation. But this zone also has a purely mechanical role in the sense where it leads to a good stability of the whole since the flowers do not can all lean on the same side and cause it to overturn. this is important because only the weight of the flowers and the water can maintain the whole stable. Indeed, it is no longer possible to count on the weight of the glass or ceramic vase.

Pour améliorer encore la stabilité, il est aussi possible de jouer sur la forme du contenant bien entendu, en élargissant la base mais ces adaptations relèvent de la recherche esthétique et des connaissances de l'homme de métier.To further improve stability, it is also possible to play on the shape of the container of course, by widening the base but these adaptations come from aesthetic research and human knowledge job.

Après utilisation, il suffit de vider l'eau qui subsiste et de jeter l'ensemble fleurs fanées/contenant, ensemble qui est de type incinérable ou recyclable si l'on retire les fleurs avant de jeter l'ensemble.After use, simply empty the remaining water and discard the set wilted flowers / container, set which is of the incinerable type or recyclable if the flowers are removed before discarding the set.

On note que le volume d'eau est généralement réduit puisqu'il y a eu consommation par la plante et légère évaporation naturelle. On note à ce sujet que l'évaporation est réduite par la zone de serrage qui limite les circulations d'air entre le contenant et les tiges, ceci quel que soit le diamètre du bouquet de tiges puisque la zone de serrage peut être serrée fortement ou faiblement mais dans tous les cas, il est possible de l'ajuster au mieux.We note that the volume of water is generally reduced since there has been consumption by the plant and slight natural evaporation. We note on this subject that evaporation is reduced by the tightening zone which limits circulation of air between the container and the stems, regardless of the diameter of the bouquet rods since the clamping area can be tightened strongly or weakly but in any case, it is possible to adjust it as well as possible.

Pour le professionnel qui vend les fleurs et les contenants, la possibilité de stocker les produits emboítés les uns dans les autres dans le cas de formes emboítables de type tronc de cône, est intéressante car il peut ainsi tenir à disposition un nombre important de modèles pour un encombrement minimum.For the professional who sells flowers and containers, the possibility to store the products fitted into each other in the case of forms nestable truncated cone type, is interesting because it can hold available a large number of models for a minimum footprint.

Le professionnel peut ainsi proposer non seulement des décorations extérieures et des formes variées mais surtout des modèles adaptés aux dimensions des produits.The professional can thus offer not only decorations exterior and varied forms but especially models adapted to product dimensions.

On note surtout que le bouquet et le contenant étant solidaires, les risques de renversement sont très limités et même sans eau, le contenant selon la présente invention est particulièrement stable.We especially note that the bouquet and the container being interdependent, the risk of spillage is very limited and even without water, the container according to the present invention is particularly stable.

Cette stabilité permet d'envisager le transport des fleurs coupées dès l'achat, ce qui supprime l'étape de mise au sec et donc les chocs thermiques qui en découlent. This stability makes it possible to envisage the transport of cut flowers from purchase, which eliminates the dry stage and therefore thermal shock who as a result.

On constate aussi qu'il est inutile de réaliser des trous ou des poignées de préhension car la zone de serrage permet un excellent portage du contenant.We also note that it is useless to make holes or handles grip because the clamping area allows excellent carrying of the container.

Si les fleurs doivent être transportées sur de longues distances et en nombre, par exemple pour des livraisons, il est alors souhaitable de disposer d'un plateau muni d'alvéoles prévues chacune pour recevoir un contenant.If the flowers are to be transported long distances and in number, for example for deliveries, it is then desirable to have a tray provided with cells each provided to receive a container.
