Irrigation device for! Potted plants and flowers

. The invention "refers to a device sur irrigation of so-called fopfpflansen and" - "flowers, etc. _e h" of in Söpfen, buckets, tubs _s boxes or other ^ with earth-filled vessels plants used, in particular flowers, as described for example. ia. Wohnungeiip in offices _p in the Yorhallen of office buildings Uncl hotels and bzwο placed in nurseries are kept _o it is important that, depending on the type of plant or _o flowers this regularly precisely metered liquid quantities are sugeführt, .- on the one hand drying .;, on the other hand, prevent a peeling of the root network. Regular and appropriate watering of the dots and flowers is not always possible because the supervisors are not able to do this due to occupational or vacation-related absence are _o The regular watering of plants and flowers in the yorhalls of office buildings and in nurseries, comes across because of the staff * -

due to the lack of and due to the not always sufficient conscientiousness of the staff to similar difficulties ₀

The invention has the task see "the above-mentioned problems with the help of a device au ^ meet the the Sopfblusaen and plants over long Seiträume automatically sufficient" watered ₀

The device according to the invention consists of one or more to be arranged above the soil content of the vessels Liquid containers with lower, up from root plexus Reaching, preferably conical ears, which have a relatively small diameter and lateral openings and are filled with fillings that suck in and gradually release liquid ο

By suitable dimensioning of the liquid container can. one can achieve that the amount of liquid poured into it was enough for a certain period of time.

Due to their own capillary action and the capillary action of their fillings, the pipes that reach into the sausage suck in as much and only as much ^: liquid as the plants and flowers need »

A wide variety of absorbent materials of natural or synthetic origin can be loosely stuffed or inserted into the tubes, such as g. »B-». Wolls, cotton _f wadding, sponge or fleece-like materials ",

A secure feeding of the liquid cause au are the! Fillings preferably einge- in the tubes' sets ₉ to cooperate with the shredded parts up in the! Fluid reservoir and bottom of the Srdinhalt extend _o

In an expedient development of the invention, too = African Eohre the Torrichtung are detachable, preferably Yerschraubbar connected to the liquid containers "This has the? Orteil ₉ that raan depending on the size of the plants or," -Blumen containing vessels, as well as depending on the the root system required space, pipes of different lengths with the! liquid containers and, depending on the water requirement -liquid containers of different hardly contents-'can connect with the-pipes _P

The liquid containers can be of various types, for example balloon-like, hollow-cylindrical, hollow-plate-like or designed like a hollow ring and iait one or several lower tubes can be plugged into the earth »

The. Liquid containers are usually already sufficiently firmly supported by the insertion into the earth's hold of the vessels may however equipped sur further support medium-lateral Torsprüngen or retaining brackets _s s.ein with the aid si © at the top of plant bzfj _a flower vessel, a bzwο this can be attached via receiving vessel or clamped _o

In some cases it is sweokaiäSigj ,. the Holire egg liquid container firmly with the plant or ο flowers vessels to connect, especially to "the vessels gen attach" to the Innenwandon 2a.ux * fixed connection derRohr® the fluid reservoir! with the plant or _o flower vessels can with this example, screwed ₉ glued oäew welded ₀

A particularly firm connection can be achieved if

Honor the
The liquid container and the plant, where flower vessels are a unit, are _p which are geiaeinsaia shaped and finished9 for example pressed or fired ο '.

If several S-opf plants or flowers are to be watered, then ₉ are recommended, as is the case, for example, with flower windows in winter gardens and especially in greenhouses. A common irrigation of all plants and flowers _o 2 for this purpose the irrigation devices assigned to the individual plant and flower vessels can be connected to a larger water tank via 2 air supply pipes or hoses ₀ The pipes of the individual irrigation devices are then tapped on the supply hoses or pipes to be fixed or detachable «,

Below are some - "exemplary embodiments of the invention with the aid of the schematic drawings.

The device shown in S ¹ Ig ₀ 1 consists of an approximately hollow-cylindrical water container which widens at the top and which has a cover that can be attached to prevent evaporation. 2 at the top, is lockable and at the bottom ends in a narrow, slightly conical very 3 »This has several lateral. Openings. 4 and ₀ B ₀ consisting of loose Eexfcilien insert 5 is filled with an absorbent, Z, the top and bottom zerfasert'ist _o Me in Behäl · = ter 1 contained!
