本発明は、例えば花を生けるときに使用する花立などの花瓶や花器等に関するものである。The present invention relates to a vase, a vase, and the like used for example when a flower is laid.

従来の上記した花立などの花瓶や花器等は、日本では古くから生け花等に使用されている剣山、欧風式アレンジ等ではオアシスと呼ばれる吸水スポンジを利用して花を生ける手法が主に利用されている。特に半円丘面の穴に花の茎を挿入して支持し、根部を水吸収スポンジに挿して使用する形態が一般的である。（例えば特許文献１参照）
特開平７−３２７７９９号 公報Conventional vases and vases, such as the above-mentioned flower arrangements, are mainly used in Japan by using a water absorbing sponge called oasis in Kenzan, which has been used for ikebana for a long time, and European style arrangements. Yes. In particular, a configuration is generally used in which a stem of a flower is inserted and supported in a hole in the semicircular hill surface, and the root is inserted into a water-absorbing sponge. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-327799

しかしながら上記従来の構成では、これらの用具を使用した場合、上述の剣山に関しては剣のようになっている部分に花の茎を差し込む為にあまり茎の細い類のものは生けることが出来ず、かつ剣を隠すために剣本来の周りにたくさんの花を生ける必要があった。However, in the above conventional configuration, when these tools are used, it is not possible to make things with a thin stem so as to insert the stem of the flower into the part that looks like a sword with respect to the above sword mountain, And in order to hide the sword, it was necessary to have many flowers around the sword itself.

また、後述の吸水スポンジ（通称 オアシス）に関しては、剣山とは違い茎の太さにこだわることなく自在に花を生けることが出来るが、スポンジであるが故に茎を差し込んでしまうと穴の開いた状態になり、１度使用するとスポンジ自体が崩れることが多く何度も使用することが出来なかった。さらに吸水スポンジであるが為に水の必要供給量が確認しづらく水枯れをしてしまうことも多くあった。Also, regarding the water-absorbing sponge (commonly referred to as oasis) described later, unlike Kenyama, it is possible to grow flowers without sticking to the thickness of the stem, but because it is a sponge, if a stem is inserted, a hole is opened. When used once, the sponge itself often collapses and could not be used many times. Furthermore, since it is a water-absorbing sponge, it is often difficult to confirm the required supply amount of water, resulting in water drainage.

本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するもので、剣山やオアシスを使用することなく立方体上面の穴を利用して花を立てて生けることの出来る意匠性と機能を持ち合わせた花器を提供することを目的とする。The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and provides a vase with a design and a function that allows a flower to stand by using a hole on the upper surface of a cube without using a sword or an oasis. Objective.

上記課題を解決するために本発明の花器は、各面に任意の数の穴が形成されて略コの字型に曲げられた板状の外器Ａと、この外器Ａと同様形状の外器Ｂとを立方体を成形せしめるように組み合わせ、内部に水受け用の内器を配置して花を生けるように構成したものである。したがって、立方体の使用する上面を変更することによって花の種類（茎の太い・細い）や生ける量に応じて対応することができるといった作用を有することとなる。また、立方体を成形せしめた花器の各面に形成する穴をサイコロ目の数として構成としたものである。したがって、上記と同様に花の種類や生ける量に応じてサイコロ目の数を選択して上面にするだけでよく、簡単に対応することができるといった作用を有することとなる。In order to solve the above problems, the vase of the present invention has a plate-like outer device A in which an arbitrary number of holes are formed on each surface and bent into a substantially U-shape, and has the same shape as the outer device A. The outer device B is combined so as to form a cube, and an inner device for receiving water is arranged inside so that a flower can be laid. Therefore, by changing the upper surface used by the cube, there is an effect that it is possible to cope with the type of flower (thick / thin stalk) and the amount of flower. In addition, the holes formed in each surface of the vase formed with the cube are configured as the number of dice. Therefore, it is only necessary to select the number of dice according to the type of flower and the amount to be produced, and to make it the upper surface in the same manner as described above.

本発明の花器は、上記構成を備えたことにより、穴の開けられた立方体の上面を生けたい花の本数や意匠性に合わせてその都度組み合わせを変えて花を生けることが出来る。また、外器Ａと同様形状の外器Ｂとを立方体を成形せしめるように組み合わせているだけなので、簡単に組み合わせ構成を変えることができるといったような効果が得られる。Since the vase according to the present invention is provided with the above-described configuration, it is possible to change the combination each time in accordance with the number of flowers and the design characteristics of the cube on which the upper surface of the cube with holes is laid. Further, since the external device B having the same shape as the external device A is simply combined so as to form a cube, an effect that the combined structure can be easily changed is obtained.

以下、本発明の一実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。図１は本発明の花器の斜視図、図２は図１に示した立方体の三側面を示す略コの字形状の外器Ａの斜視図、図３は同様に別の三側面を示す略コの字形状の外器Ｂの斜視図、図４は立方体の内側に配置される花器の斜視図、図５はそれぞれを組み合わせ実際に花を生けた時の花器の斜視図を示す。Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vase of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an approximately U-shaped outer device A showing three sides of the cube shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a vase arranged inside the cube, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the vase when the flowers are actually combined.

これらの図において、１は三側面を示す略コの字形状の外器Ａ、２は同様に別の三側面を示す略コの字形状の外器Ｂで、この両者を組み合わせて図１のごとき花を生ける時の花止めとしての役割をになう立方体の花器を構成している。３は内部に水を入れて花や植物を挿入するガラス器等の内器、４は花立用の穴で立方体の各面にサイコロの目の数と同一の数だけ形成されている。なお、この各面に形成される穴の数はサイコロの目の数に限定されることなく必要に応じて任意の数及び大きさを選択することもできる。５は花を示す。In these drawings, 1 is a substantially U-shaped outer device A showing three side surfaces, and 2 is a substantially U-shaped outer device B similarly showing another three side surfaces. It constitutes a cubic vase that acts as a flower stopper when producing flowers.Reference numeral 3 denotes an inner container such as a glass container in which water and water are inserted, and 4 is a hole for flower arrangement, which is formed on each side of the cube in the same number as the number of dice. Note that the number of holes formed in each surface is not limited to the number of dice eyes, and an arbitrary number and size can be selected as necessary. 5 indicates a flower.

次に上記した立方体花器（サイコロ）の使用方法、すなわち花の立て方について説明する。まず、図２に示すように立方体の三側面を形成する略コの字形状の外器Ａを一面が底面になるように固定する。次に、この底面にガラス器の内器３を底面を重ね合わせるように設置する。この内器３は上面から差し込む花の本数によって置く位置や大きさを調整しながら設置する。次に、図１のような立方体を成形せしめるように図３の立方体の三側面を形成する略コの字形状の外器Ｂを図２の外器Ａの三側面に組み合わせていく。要するに使用したい穴の数の面を上にするように外器Ａと外器Ｂを組み合わせて立方体を形成すればよく、簡単に組み合わせることができる。Next, a method of using the above-mentioned cubic vase (dice), that is, how to stand a flower will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the substantially U-shaped outer device A forming the three side surfaces of the cube is fixed so that one surface is the bottom surface. Next, theinner unit 3 of the glass device is installed on the bottom surface so that the bottom surface is overlapped. Theinner unit 3 is installed while adjusting the position and size depending on the number of flowers inserted from the upper surface. Next, the substantially U-shaped outer device B forming the three side surfaces of the cube of FIG. 3 is combined with the three side surfaces of the outer device A of FIG. 2 so as to form a cube as shown in FIG. In short, the outer unit A and the outer unit B may be combined to form a cube so that the number of holes desired to be used faces up, and can be easily combined.

上述したような実施形態で利用することで器底の水の量も各面に形成された穴から一目で確認でき、花の本数の増減に伴って立方体花器上面の穴の数を変更することで少しの花でも美しく飾ることができる。また、内器のガラス器のサイズ以上のサイコロ状に穴の開けられた立方体の上面を入れたい花の本数や、意匠性に合わせてその都度組み合わせを変えて花を生けることが出来る。さらに、同素材のアルミの器に限ることなく紙素材やプラスチック素材など、素材を変更しても内器にガラス器を差し込むことでこのサイコロの穴を利用して花を形良く生けることが出来る。By using in the embodiment as described above, the amount of water at the bottom of the vessel can be confirmed at a glance from the holes formed on each surface, and the number of holes on the upper surface of the cubic vase is changed as the number of flowers increases or decreases Even a little flower can be beautifully decorated. In addition, the number of flowers that you want to put in the upper surface of a cube that is perforated in the shape of a dice that is larger than the size of the glassware of the inner organ, and the combination can be changed each time according to the design. In addition, it is not limited to aluminum materials made of the same material, and even if the material is changed, such as paper or plastic, the glass can be inserted into the inner device and the flowers can be formed in a good shape using the holes in the dice. .
