Liquid supply device for plants

The innovation relates to a liquid supply for plants. Liquid supply systems for plants, which consist of hoses laid in the ground and provided with water passages, are already known. These systems require extensive earthworks and are therefore labor-intensive and costly.

Also well known are sprinkler systems, which are used to irrigate the surfaces of plants, usually over large areas. These systems are also complex and costly.

What these known liquid supply devices for plants have in common is that they require a direct water connection and are not suitable for watering individual plants, for example grave bowls.

PATENT ATTORNEY DIPL.-ING.

The innovation has set itself the task of creating a liquid supply device for plants that is simple in its construction, thus cost-effective and independent of a water connection and can also be used for individual plants.

The task is solved in accordance with the innovation in that a container made of translucent material that can be filled with liquid has throttle-like holes on the side that can be inserted into the ground and an openable closure on the opposite side.

The subclaims preferably contain embodiments of the innovation object.

The drawing shows, for example, embodiments of the innovation object schematically.

The liquid supply device consists of a container 1, which is provided with throttle-like holes 2a, 2b on its lower side and with a closure 3 on its upper side.

The container 1 is conveniently made of translucent or transparent material.

The lower side of the container 1 can be inserted into the soil and the holes 2a and 2b have a diameter, depending on the container liquid column, which "throttles" the water flow so that only the liquid requirement of the individual plant is covered.

The opening and closing closure 3 is connected to the container 1 by screwing, clipping or inserting.

The container volume can be freely selected and depends on the plant's liquid requirements and the time between refills,

The function of the new liquid supply device is as follows:

The container 1 is inserted into the soil with its lower side, which has holes 2a, 2b, in the immediate vicinity of the individual plant so that the throttle-like holes 2a, 2b are completely covered with soil. The soil around the container 1 is lightly pressed/compacted.

After opening the closure 3, the container 1 is filled with liquid and the closure 3 is closed again. The liquid level in the container 1 can be visually checked at any time as it is made of translucent or transparent material.

The roots of the individual plant will "suck" the amount of liquid they require from container 1, so that no excess liquid is created, which, for example in the case of potted plants, leads to liquid leakage and contaminates the pot environment.

The new liquid supply device can be used both for irrigation and for the supply of liquid fertilizers and/or plant protection products.
