  • The present invention relates to a set, in particular a sachet assembly, comprising: [0001]
  • a closed bag which is formed from water-permeable filter paper and [0002]
  • a solid substance which is contained in the bag and is at least partially water-soluble. [0003]
  • A sachet assembly of this type is known. One could think, for Example, of a tea bag, which is formed from a filter paper, also known as tea bag paper, in which a certain quantity of optionally commuted the leaves is packaged. A tea bag of this type is, as is known, generally provided with a string which can be used to hang it in a the cup or tea pot so that, once the tea has brewed sufficiently, the string can be used to remove it again from the cup or tea pot [0004]
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a preparation for cut flowers in an administration form which is such that it is ensured and can be checked that a specific dose has been administered to the water in which the cut flowers are standing. [0005]
  • According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that, in die sachet of the type described in the introduction, the water-soluble solid substance comprises a preparation for cut flowers. A sachet of this type can be placed in the water in a container holding cut flowers which are standing in water, after which to water can enter the bag via the filter paper, so It the preparation is dissolved, and then carries the preparation out of the bag in dissolved form. Since the bag is closed, administration of one bag ensures that a specific dose is administered, Furthermore, the bag will remain present even after it has been administered to the water, which makes it easy to check that the preparation has been administed Therefore, it Is possible for both the purchaser, such as a florist or consumer to see that the cut flowers which have been purchased are in water which has been appropriately treated, and also it is possible for an inspection body to establish, in a simple and efficient way, that a specific dose has been administered to cut flowers. An inspection body of this type may, for example, be a body which checks the quality of goods on behalf of a professional association of cut-flower traders, but may also, for example, be a supplier or purchaser of cut flowers who wishes to check whether the cut flowers which he has supplied are treated correctly. [0006]
  • Advantageously, the preparation in the sachet according to the invention will comprise a food and/or conditioning agent and/or disinfectant and/or biocide and/or growth inhibitor. In this context, the term conditioning agent is understood in particular as me an agent which is used to adjust the state of the water, such as its hardness or pH The term growth inhibitor is understood as meaning an agent which inhibits the growth of microorganisms, so that the water uptake and food uptake by the cut flowers remains appropriate. [0007]
  • Furthermore, in the sachet according to the invention, it is advantageous if the filter paper is semi-permeable, In this context the term semi-permeable is understood as meaning in particular permeability to particles up to a maximum size of 100 to 400 μm. [0008]
  • With a view to ease of production, it is advantageous, in the sachet according to the invention, if the bag is rectangular in shape, In connection with the final administration of a sachet of this type to a container, such as a bucket, holding a quantity of water of the order of magnitude of 1 to 5 litres, although sometimes more litres, it is in this case preferable if the rectangular bag has dimensions of 2 to 8 cm wide by 2 to 12 cm long. [0009]
  • Furthermore, in a sachet according to the invention, it is advantageous if the bag is provided on the outside with an image, in particular obtained using a printing technique, Filter paper is eminently suitable for an image to be applied thereto, for example, with the aid of a printing technique such as a flexographic printing technique. The image may in this case be applied to the filter paper before the filter paper is formed into a bag, In this way, it is possible to provide the bag with an advertising message. In particular, however, it is advantageous for the bag in this way to be provided with instructions for use or application. However, it is also highly useful and advantageous for the bag to be provided with an indication of the preparation contained therein in this way. Such an indication may, for example, be a brand name, but may also be a list of the ingredients or active constituents. It is also possible to provide the bag with warnings in this way. [0010]
  • Furthermore, in the sachet according to the invention, it is advantageous if the bag is made from a filter material which, when it takes up water, becomes transparent or translucent, in such a manner that the contents become visible. In this way, it is possible to check, when the bag has been put in water, that the contents are present in the bag, In this case, it is also advantageous if the entire contents ae water-soluble. [0011]
  • This is because in this way it is possible by visual inspection to determine whether the sachet is still active. This also means it possible to prevent errors, since it can be determined visually whether an empty or used bag/sachet assembly has been added to the cut flowers. For this purpose, it is also possible to use an ink which changes Colour when the active substances have been exhausted. It this regard, consideration may be given, for example, to pH indicators, such as litmus. [0012]
  • Furthermore, in the sachet according to the invention, it may be advantageous if the water-soluble material is hygroscopic, [0013]
  • The invention also relates to a packaging assembly comprising a waterproof, or at least moisture-proof, outer packaging containing a large number of sachets according to the invention. A packaging assembly of this type can be used to ensure that the sachets arrive at the user in good condition and, moreover, can be stored in good condition for a certain time by the user. The outer packaging will in this case preferably be a waterproof or at least moisture-proof recloseable outer packaging. Consideration may be given, for example, to a plastic bucket with a lid which can seal onto the upper rim of the bucket via a, preferably clamping, labyrinth seal. [0014]
  • The invention also relates to the use of a sachet made from water-permeable filter paper for administering a preparation, such as a food, and/or conditioning agent and/or disinfectant and/or biocide and/or growth inhibitor for microorganisms, to cut flowers which are stating in water.[0015]
