Device for watering plants in Pots, outdoor plants or r. like

The innovation relates to a device for irrigation of plants in pots, Preiland plants and the like.

The task of the innovation is to provide an irrigation system create that allows continuous irrigation over longer periods of time, for example once for relief the work and, on the other hand, is desired when the plant zen have to be left alone for a long time, e.g. when the plant keeper is on vacation.

This task is achieved by a water container with at least one porous, open-pored body reaching below the water level through a wall of this container into the plant soil, which is sealed airtight and watertight against the container wall and is open at least at the ends on both sides of this wall. Through this porous body a

The porous body is expediently enclosed in a plastic enclosure embedded and by means of / this with the wall of the water tank firmly connected. The embedding in a plastic frame protects the porous body against breakage and simplifies its attachment in the wall of the water tank. The plastics inf as ^ - Solution can be splashed around the porous body. It can also be part of the container wall, in which case either the porous body is later embedded in the enclosure or right from the start with the manufacture of the container wall Plastic surround is also injected.

¹ "In the case of double pots or double boxes, the inner pot with the plastic surround and the pumice stone form an independent element that can be used in any cover pots or top boxes.

For the irrigation of larger plants, e.g. flower beds appropriately a water tank is used, the bottom of which is connected to a water line connected to the interior of the water tank, which is preferably made of plastic und.im Bed is laid, with porous bodies protruding laterally at intervals along the water pipe, which are also useful in © ine, plastic bevels are embedded and a flow connection swisohen the interior of the water pipe and the

Wall of the inner pot horizontally 'extends a cuboid pumice stone 5, which tightly, for example by means of a plastic sleeve 6, with the Wall of the inner pot is connected and ensures a constant passage of water from the annular space 2 into the interior of the inner pot 3 ″.

According to FIG. 2, an independent inner pot 8 is used in the planter 1, which was previously provided with a pumice stone 5. This pumice stone is embedded according to FIG. 3 in a plastic enclosure ■ 9, which was injected around the stone and as Support and to facilitate attachment of the stone is used on the inner pot wall, with which the plastic surround is welded or is glued. The plastic enclosure 9 can 'any design if they only have a flow connection between ' the annular space.2 and the interior of the inner pot 8 produces. Possibly the plastic surround with the inner pot can consist of one piece, with the stone either inserted later or is injected at the same time; the type of plastic edging must be adapted to the respective manufacturing process. Below the plastic surround, a support rib 11 can be provided on the bottom 10 of the inner pot, on which the plastics frame rests.
