DE2939042A1 - Watering vessel for plants with strong roots - has diaphragm system with diaphragm protection screen - Google Patents

Abstract

The watering vessel is intended for outdoors plants with strong roots, as in 2937841. It comprises several diaphragm systems which to guard against damage, are reinforced with diaphragm protection screen (3) and/or a watering tube. The lid (5) of the vessel consists partly, or completely, of filtering, water-permeable material, which may be covered with a gravel bed filter.

Description and explanation of the

Additional patent application

• Drinking container for plants, preferably outdoor plants with strong root formation, with an impregnation membrane

and membrane protection ¹
Addition to P 29 37 84-1.4

In the main application, a watering vessel is described that uses a membrane arrangement to water plants _{or the like}

According to the invention, the membrane is in the region of the deepest of the container used in order to directly supply the emerging water to the roots of the plants.

However, there are plants with hard root formation, especially in trees, which form the membrane with their roots can prick.

To avoid this, it is proposed according to the invention to provide the membrane with a protective shield, which is arranged like a halved watering can spout.

Furthermore, according to the invention, the membrane area can also be covered by a drinking tube, the drinking tube being guided to the greatest root depth can be, so that the root formation, especially near the coast, inevitably in deeper soil regions to be led. This significantly improves the stability of the tree crops in gusts of wind.

The well-known drip irrigation generally only allows roots to form up to a depth of 60 cm.

This is also often the reason that light, hurricane-like wind gusts destroy entire plantations will.

Agricultural engineering is looking for ways to move the root formation to deeper soil regions.

This necessary is illustrated by the drawing above and in the accompanying drawing, Fig. A. Technology enables.

In Fig. A is shown:
with (1) the drinking container,
with (2) the membrane arrangement,
with (3) the protective membrane shield, with (4) the drinking tube.

In the following, the invention is made essential by a further idea according to the invention improved.

In order to make it unnecessary to open the container via the filler neck and still use the container to be able to fill and on rainy days to be able to let the surface water flow into the container without to make a handling, the invention proposes the lid of the water-storing To provide the container as a partial area or total area with a filter layer, which consists of a sieve-like There is a mesh, and to identify the planting point in the container, this sieve surface is used a layer of gravel several cm thick is superimposed on it, so that the pouring by means of Hose, e.g. from the filling truck, can be fed into the container via the gravel layer.

Lie gravel chic not only has the advantage that it is easy to see where the vessel is stored, but also dirt and leaves are also kept away from the contents of the container at the same time.

Furthermore, the container can be stored in the ground in the area of the vegetation to be watered that

the gravel layer closes with the surface of the earth and inflow water, e.g. in the case of tree plantings in the Sidewalk area of cities via the clad sidewalks, the gravel filter and thus the water storage tank flows in.

In the accompanying drawing, Fig. B, this further idea according to the invention is shown:

Fig. B:

with (1) the container,

with (5) the cover-shaped surface that is partially or is also designed entirely as a filter,

with (6) the gravel bed on the top surface, as far as possible can also be arched,

with (7) the rain inflow from the paved sidewalk area,

with (8) the adjacent tree to be watered.

It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the forms of embodiment described in detail above limited, but numerous changes are possible without, however, deviating from the basic idea,

- 5 -1 30016/01OS

according to fig To protect a protective shield or drinking pipe and, as shown in Fig. B, a water-storing container, which is intended for the watering of plants to be provided with a lid, the lid from a filter layer and the grid-like filter layer preferably with a gravel bed as Upstream filter against the inflow of dirt, e.g. through Rainwater causes is superimposed.
