Description

1038~64 La présente invention concerne le domaine de la fabri-cation des jardinières et des bacs destinés à recevoir des plantes pour ~ormer des jardins d~appartement, et a pour objet une jardi-nière à réserve d'eau, et à approvisionnement réglable.
Le problème de l'apport d'eau aux plantes enracinées dans de la terre contenue dans des jardinières, notamment des fleurs et des plantes vertes, a toujours été très contraignant, et a amené la création de jardinière avec une r~serve d'eau appro-visionnant automatiquement la terre dans laquelle sont plantés les v~gétaux.
Il existe actuellement des jardinières dont le fond est conformé en réserve d'eau, et dans lesquelles la terre repose sur une grille fixée horizontalement à quelque distance au-dessus du niveau de l~eau. Dans ces ~ardinières connues, l'approvisionne-ment en eau des plantes s~e~fectue au moyen d'-me bande de toile en ~ibres synthétiques de longueur supérieure ~ celle de la grille, sur la ~ace inférieure de laquelle cette toile est collée sur une partie de sa longueur, la partie non collée plongeant dans l'eau du r~servoir. Par cette partie de toile, l'eau humecte par capil-~0 larit~ toute la toile, et imprègne la terre déposée sur la grille,permettant ainsi l~approvisionnement en eau des végétaux.
Toutefois, avec les dispositifs connus, le d~blt d'eau est ~onction du pouvoir capillaire et de la taille de la toile, et aucun r~glage de ce débit n'est possible, ce qui peut conduire au d~p~rissement des plantes par trop forte consommation d'eau si leurs besoins sont faibles, notamment dans le cas de cactus, ou par manque d'eau si les besoins sont très élevés, par exemple, dans le cas de ~ougères.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces incon-v~nients.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet une jardinière à réserve d'eauet ~ approvisionnemen~ réglable, comportant dans sa partie infé-rieure, un réservoir à eau fermé par une plaque, et caractérisée en ce quela plaque est pourvue d'une multitude de trous minuscules servant à 1'aération de la ter~e, et de trous de diamètre plus important, disposés sur la plaque de manière quelconque, dans lesquels débouchent des tubes ouverts à leurs extrémités, plon-geiant dans le réservoir, et renfermant une matière hydrophile pour l'approvisionnement en eau des plantes.
Conormément à une caractéristique de l'invention, chaque tube peut 8tre pourvu à sa partie inférieure d'un bouchon, la fermeture de l'un ou de plusieurs des tubes permettent le r~glage de l'approvisionnement en eau.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce a la deccription ci-apr~s, qui se rapporte à un mode de r~alisation préfér~, donn~
~ titre d'exemple non limitatlf, et expliqu~ avec r~f~rence au dessin schématique annexé, dont la figure unique représente, dans une vue en coupe longitudinale, une jardinière conforme à l'inven-tion.
Comme il ressort du dessin annexé, la jardinière à réserve d'eau, et ~ approvisionnement réglable, essentiellement constitu~e par un bac 1, dont le fond ~orme un réservoir d'eau 2 pourvu d'un voyant 3 de contr81e de niveau, et par une plaque 4 fermant le r~servoir et destinée ~ supporter la terre recevant les plantes, le r~servoir ~tant, en outre, pourvu d'une amenée d'eau 5, est caract~ris~e en ce que la plaque 4 est munie sur toute sa surace, d'une multitude de trous minuscules 6, et de quelques trous 7 de ~lus grand diamètre, qui sont répartis sur la plaque de manière quelcongue, et dans lesquels débouchent des tubes 8 ouverts ~
leursi deux extr~mités. Ces tubes plongent dans le réservoir ~, et renferment une matière hydrophile 9, qui, par capillarité, appro-visionne les plantes en eau.
Chaque tube 9 peut être pourvu à sa partie inférieure d'un bouchon 10. Il est ainsi possible d'agir directement sur le débit d'eau approvisionnant les plantes en bouchant un ou plusieurs tubes 9, suivant les besoins en eau desdites plantes.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le fond du réservoir a est pourvu de plusieurs appendices 11, qui servent à
supporter la plaque 4.
La jardini~re conforme à l'invention est de préférence cons-tituée en mousse de polyuréthane, et les appendices 11 viennent également, de préférence, directement de moulage avec le bac 1.
Conformément à l'invention, la matière hydrophile 9 est constituée de préf~rence en mousse de polyuréthane hydrophile, ou en mousse phénolique.
Gr~ce ~ la ~ardlnière confoxme ~ l'invention, il est possi-ble de r~gler l'approvisionnement en eau des végétaux exactement en fonctlon de leur~ besoins.
L~invention est plus particulièrement applicable dans le domaine de la culture des plantes d'appartement.
Bien entendu~ l~invention n~eQt pas limit~e au mode de r~a-lisation décrit et représenté au dessin annex~. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protec-tion de l'invention.
1038 ~ 64 The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing cation of planters and containers for receiving plants to decorate apartment gardens, and has as its object a garden with water reserve and adjustable supply.
The problem of water supply to rooted plants in soil contained in planters, especially flowers and green plants, has always been very binding, and led to the creation of a planter with an adequate water supply automatically viewing the soil in which the v ~ general.
There are currently planters whose bottom conforms to a reserve of water, and in which the earth rests on a grid fixed horizontally some distance above of the water level. In these ~ known ardinières, the supply ment in water of plants s ~ e ~ made by means of-me strip of fabric in ~ synthetic ibres of greater length than that of the grid, on the lower ~ ace of which this canvas is stuck on a part of its length, the unglued part dipping into the water of the tank. By this part of canvas, the water moistens by capil-~ 0 larit ~ all the canvas, and permeates the soil deposited on the grid, thus allowing the water supply to the plants.
However, with known devices, the water d ~ blt is ~ anointing of the capillary power and the size of the fabric, and no adjustment of this flow is possible, which can lead to overgrowth of plants by too much water consumption if their needs are low, especially in the case of cacti, or for lack of water if the needs are very high, for example, in the case of ~ ougères.
The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks.

v ~ nients.
