FR2994632A1 - Device for creating e.g. green walls, which are in form of PVC tube used to permit insertion of plants for outdoor landscaping, has system of pipes placed drop by drop inside tube, which is fixed at wall or another support by mounting feet - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a hole saw boring a hole of diameter 65 mm in a PVC tube having diameter of 100 mm. The hole allows insertion of plants in interior of the tube or externally in a rockwool type substrate. A system of pipes is placed drop by drop inside the tube, which is fixed at a wall or another support by PVC mounting feet. The tube is covered with a breaker type rot-resistant fabric providing an occultation of 100% green color or painted green color without covered with a cover.

Appendix to the Patent of Invention PHASE A: 1) Perennial plants 2) PVC tube (evacuation type diameter 100 mm) 3) Clamp 4) Rockwool bread 5) Dropper tube diameter 16 mm 6) Drill equipped with bell saw 7) Wind proof fabric 100% concealment shade 8) Rule with spirit level PHASE B: 9) PVC pipe cut in 1 meter 10) Planting hole diameter 65 mm 11) End of the pipe drips PHASE C: 12 ) PVC sleeve with reducer 100 / 32mm 13) End of the drip pipe 14) Planting hole diameter 65 mm / 4 PHASE D: 15) Clamp of diameter 100 mm 16) Support (plant wood, PVC or direct on wall) 17) End of the drip pipe PHASE E: 18) Rot-proof fabric 100% stapled and stretched with concealment view 19) Main water inlet connection PHASE F: 20) Cutting of the fabric at the planting holes The panel is waiting for plants PHASE G: 21) Final vegetated panel / 4 The meadow This invention relates to a system for greening walls different from those currently proposed. The plant walls are heavy consumers in water because it does not have a targeted watering for each plant and are installed in containers that do not have a reserve of water and a large part of the irrigation water trickles and is thus ruined. Moreover during the harsh winter plants do not have enough protection to resist frost. The device for this invention overcomes these disadvantages. It includes a system at the end of the tube (reducer 100mm / 32mm) to keep water in the tube and limit watering (maximum 30 seconds per day) with a hole of 32 mm to pass a pipe of drip irrigation for plants, moreover the pvc tube serving as a container for plants offers better protection against freezing than current systems. According to the particular modes of realization: the tubes will be proposed in green color (gray for the prototype) in order to avoid the green covering covering the plant wall the tubes can follow various curves thanks to bends of different degrees (30 ° or 45 ° or 60 °) The photos with annexed legend illustrate the invention (see appendix to the patent of invention) The device according to the invention is particularly intended for greening walls but can be used for green roofs and planted garden borders
