GB-A-2128083 describes a liner sheet for a flower pot, which is placed on a pad of absorbent material serving as a water reservoir. The base of the tampon is placed on a waterproof sheet, and raised along the side surface of the pot to prevent any loss of water to the outside. However, the diameter of the pad must be adapted to the diameter of the base of the pot. Such a device cannot serve for the presentation of a bouquet of cut flowers that does not use a rigid pot.

The device for the individual presentation of bouquets of flowers, consists of a rigid technical piece, of quick placement, which allows the presentation of individual bouquets, serving as a simple support for a bouquet of cut flowers, and as a support for a bouquet of dried flowers in the warehouse. and self-service, offers the possibility of transformation, by placing a watertight sheet, into a water tank branch, and guarantees perfect stability due to its conical shape and water supply. For this reason it becomes a disposable vase. Round or square collars adapt to the device and transform it into a disposable cup.

The present invention refers to a device supplied with a quick assembly plan, or in volume, adapting to any bouquet of cut flowers as storage support or for sale, due to its different shapes with or without a bottom, round, square, triangular, or others.

This device and its folded bouquet, in any watertight sheet, commonly used in the horticultural or florist environment, allows once in shape to contain a reserve of water whose weight at its base ensures perfect stability with a height of water for transport of 2 cm .

The principle according to the invention makes it possible to transport, from the place of sale to the recipient, a folded bouquet with the reserve of water contained in its packaging, ensuring its preservation until the end customer, along the way without withering.

It is easy to compensate for the evaporated water, without having to use a vase throughout its lifespan.

The florist can add professional preservatives, or simple colorants, or gelling agent to enhance the presentation.

By printing, of the leaf, the florist can combine it with the color of the bouquet and have his achievement or his name printed. The decorative effect can be enhanced by adding colored sheets, placed under the cone flat or wrinkled.

Once the flowers have withered, the final consumer will put the whole in without having to undo the packaging.

The present invention will be better understood with reference to the following figures:

- Figure 1 represents the plan device.

- Figure 2 represents the device formed of cords and tapes.

- Figure 3 represents the device ready for use with its packing sheet and its flowers.

- Figure 4 represents the device made with its bouquet and the filling.

- Figure 5 represents the device with its round cup for presentation lying down.

- Figure 6 represents the device with its square cup.

- Figure 7 represents the device that serves as the background and can be adapted to all models.

The support (1) is composed of rigid sheets, resistant to water, translucent, or transparent, of sufficient thickness to ensure the conservation of water and the bouquet in a rigid volume.

The object of the invention is a technical piece of different heights, for any bouquet of any type of flowers that allows them to be presented individually, vertically, without water.

Obtained by cutting, thermoforming or injection, the plane shape (1) before being put into volume will restore by the clipping system (3) and regulation (4) a narrow conical shape at the top (5) provided with sheets (11) that they rest on the stems of the bouquet, wide at the bottom (2) of different diameter and adapted to the bouquet.

The holes (6) allow a first fixation of the branch to the device before placing the sheet (8) by any tie (9) passed in said holes, thus remaining solid, allowing an individual and vertical presentation.

This ligation can also have the same result by tightening the blades (11).

The radius of definition of the support, preserving the same principle, allows the restoration of a cone of different shape and volume.

The invention, according to the folding principle of the classical industry, constituted by the device and by a watertight sheet (8) raised and pre-glued on it by means of a double side (7), facilitates the shaping of the sheet. The tabs (11) allow a second final tie on top of the tie (9), by a decorative tape (21) that holds the leaf (8) against the flexible sheets (11) that rest on the stems of the bouquet.

At that time the bouquet of flowers is completely supportive of the device.

The water filling through the opening (5) is located at the base (2) ensuring the conservation of the flowers.

The weight of the water (10) ensures by the suit, the stability of the set and becomes a disposable vase. For tall compositions with very few flowers, tabs (12) perforated with holes (13) can be placed internally to support the stem of certain flowers. Round (14) or square (15) collars can be fitted on all devices. Devices that follow the same principle can be conceived, square (16), triangular (17) or rectangular (18), with a background for certain tropical flowers.

A bottom (19) can fit most devices.

The device according to the invention, allows with less expense to make bouquets without having to resort to classic vases, to be able to offer them and keep them.
