  • Patent number: 7036271
    Abstract: A vase made of a thin foldable material and having a wall, an upper opening and a lower bottom, provided with a foot, with the foot of the vase being formed by unfolding a first planar material along fold lines, with the first planar material designed with a central panel having essentially the same configuration as the bottom of the vase and defined by a first set of fold lines, a number of radial panels defined by a second set of fold lines and extending outwardly from the first fold lines, and a number of edge panels issuing from the second fold lines. The vase has a bottom formed by folding the bottom panels along the fold lines. The bottom is, by gluing, joined to a central panel of the first plane unfolding to secure the foot to the vase. The foot parts are provided by the radial panels and the edge panels folded up around the side panels or third fold lines of the vase. The vase is especially applicable as packaging during transport of a flower bouquet.
