Abstract
"Flower Pot With Automatic Water Feeding System"
ABSTRACT
A flower Pot with automatic water feeding system including a body portion comprising of a hollow base and a hollow circular side wall to define therein a storing reservoir, wherein a water inlet is made on the top flange of said body portion to communicate with said storing reservoir; a plurality of air vent holes being made on the top flange of said body portion to communicate with said storing reservoir and set opposite to said water inlet; a hole being-made on said base at the top to communicate with the inner space of said body portion, into which a stopper made of high density sponge is inserted; wnd wherein the water which is filled through said water inlet is stored at said storing reservoir to further pass through said high density sponge stopper and penetrate into the soil inside said body portion for absorption through the roots of the flowers or plants planted therein.

Referring to FIG. 3 and 4, a flower pot with automatic water feeding system according to the present invention is having a body portion (1I which may be arranged in a circular or square shape or any preferred shape.
Referring to FIG. 2 through 6 r a flower pot :; is including a body portion (1) comprising of a hollow base (12) and a hollow circular side wall (11) to define therein a storing reservolr (2). A wat,er inlet (131) is made on the top flange (13) of the body portion (1) to : , communicate with:the storing reservoir (2), into which : a stopper /3) made of suitable materi~l is inserted. A
plurality of air vent holes (132) are made on the top flange (13) of the body portion ~1) to communicate with the storing reservoir (2) and set opposite to the water inlet (131). A hole (121) is made on the base (12) at the top to communicate with the inner space of the . body portion (1), into which a stopper (4) made of high density sponge is inserted.
Referring to FIG. 7, when to water the flower pot, the stopper (3) is removed to let water be filled through the water inlet (131) into the storing reservoir (2) of the body portion (1). The water stored in the storing reservoir (2) will be forced by means of the water pressure itself to pass through the gaps of the . .:~

high density sponge stopper (4) to further penetrate into the soil in the flower pot and to moisten the soil for further absorption through the roots of the flowers or plan-ts planted therein. Because the storing reservoir (2) is an enclosed space, the water will not flow away or be evaporated. Because the soil in the flower pot absorbs the water from the storing reservoir gradually, once the storing reservoir is filled up, the water can be provided to moisten the ~oil for a long period.
In conclusion, the present invention is to provide such a flower pot with automatic water feeding system having numerous features each of which tends to make the structure more practical in use.
