Said first sheet (1) is stacked on top of said second sheet (4). Said device is characterized in that the central part includes a central body (2A) and at least two foldaway arms (3) rigidly connected to the central body (2A), and in that, when erecting the device, the angle formed between the central body (2A) and the at least two foldaway branches (3) is either less than 90° in the case of a device for displaying flower bouquets, or no less than 90° in the case of a device for displaying potted plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a carrier for a bouquet of flowers, constituted of a container (1) which defines an internal volume (2) and which has, at one of the ends thereof, a lower base (3) and, at the opposite end, an upper part (4), said lower base (3) having an upper surface at the surface of the upper part (4), said upper part (4) having at least one opening (5), said opening (5) extending from the upper part (4) into the internal volume (2) by means of a skirt (6), characterized in that the lower base (3) is open and the container with an open lower base can be wrapped in a sheet of leak tight packaging (10) placed under the lower base (3) of the container and pulled up along the wall (11) of the container, wherein the container with an open lower base-sheet of leak tight packaging (10) assembly forms a water-tight closed container (1), and wherein the container with an open lower base-sheet of leak tight packaging assembly is kept in place by means of a tie (12).

Abstract: Device for displaying and keeping individual bouquets of flowers, whereby the flowers are held in position on the vertical central axis (7) of the erected device, comprising a holder (1) from which strips (2) extend along the direction of said vertical central axis (7), said device being characterized in that the strips (2) possess one or more retaining teeth (5) and in that an automatic closure ring (6) is in contact with said strips (2), said ring (6) enabling the diameter of the variable opening of the erected device to be adjusted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conical device for presenting individual bouquets of flowers, said device being characterized in that it comprises a regulatable closing system consisting of complementary (3) nesting male and female three-dimensional geometrical structures, the undercut outer side of the male three-dimensional geometrical structures (6) coming into contact with the undercut inner side of the female three-dimensional geometrical structures (7).

Abstract: A multi-functional portable data device (preferably a combined smart card and magnetic-stripe card) is used for exchanging money with a financial institution in a cashless (i.e., credit or debit) transaction, and to credit or debit an electronic purse (“e-purse”) resident on the portable data device. An integrated data reading device can be used to conduct the various monetary transactions electronically so as to transfer money between the financial institutions and the e-purse on the portable data device. The portable data device preferably can be presented to gaming devices in a cashless gaming environment to allow the customers to use the gaming devices.

Abstract: The invention concerns a portable packaging device for a floral bouquet, comprising a support element (14) for maintaining the bouquet (12), and a packaging film (16) made of soft material designed to enclose the support element (14). The packaging film (16) is provided with carrier means (18) designed to be fixed when the sheet (16) is laid flat in unfolded state, and to be positioned in a state to be grasped when the sheet (16) encloses the lateral surface of the support element (14). The carrier means (18) are formed by a couple of handles (18a, 18b) fixed to the packaging film (16) with securing members (20a, 20b).

Abstract: The invention provides a variable shape device, with or without a base, for presenting all types of bouquets individually, vertically and without water. The device (1) is made of water- and deformation-resistant materials, with an adjustable attachment means having a male (3) and a female portion (4). The assembled device has a tapered portion (5) with tabs (11), which adapts to every type of bouquet, and a stable base (2). The openings (6) enable the bouquet to be initially retained in the device, for individual presentation, by any fastening means inserted in the openings. A water-tight decorated sheet (8), extending towards the top (5) of the outer walls (1) and adhering to members (7), is retained by a ribbon (21) on blade members which holds together the sheet, the device and the bouquet, the sheet providing water-tightness to the device (8). Water (10) introduced into the device collects at its base (2), thus providing stability to the bouquet and converting the device into a disposable flower-pot.
