Abstract

A hollow body, which is connected to a supply receptacle by means of a hose fitted at the upper end, has an opening at the lower end. Put into the plant pot, earth (soil) is introduced into the opening and is compacted by the pressure of the water which is sprayed in via the hose by means of an injection spray. The compacted earth has such fine capillaries that it is sufficiently absorbent without, in the case of the subatmospheric pressure arising in the apparatus, permitting air to penetrate into the apparatus.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine selbsttätige Topfpflanzenbewäs­ serung, bei der die Erdfeuchtigkeit konstant gehalten wird.The invention relates to an automatic pot plant irrigation at which the earth's moisture is kept constant.

Die vorgegebene Bewässerung wird mittels Kapillarwirkung der Erde gesteuert. Feuchte Erde saugt weniger Wasser auf als trockene.The specified irrigation is by means of capillary action Earth controlled. Moist earth absorbs less water than dry.

Es ist bekannt, zur Erfüllung dieser Erfordernisse Hohlkörper, die mit porösen Wandungen versehen und über einen Schlauch mit einem Vorratsgefäß verbunden sind, mit Wasser zu füllen und sie dann in die Erde des Blumentopfes einzustecken.It is known to meet these hollow body requirements, the provided with porous walls and with a hose a reservoir are connected to fill with water and then insert them into the soil of the flowerpot.

Über poröse Wandungen nimmt die Erde Wasser auf. Es entsteht im Hohlkörper ein Unterdruck der durch den Schlauch Wasser aus dem Vorratsgefäß nachsaugt.The earth absorbs water through porous walls. It arises in the hollow body a negative pressure from the hose through water sucked up the reservoir.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß bei diesen Bewässerungsgeräten das poröse Material wie z. B. Watte oder gebrannter Ton im Laufe der Zeit verkalkt. Außerdem kann durch eine Spaltbildung zwischen porösem Material und Erde die Leistung derartiger Geräte stark eingeschränkt werden.It has been shown that with these irrigation devices porous material such as B. cotton or fired clay in the course of time calcified. In addition, a gap can form the performance of such between porous material and earth Devices are severely restricted.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde die genannten Nach­ teile zu beseitigen und ein Gerät zu schaffen, daß auch über lange Zeiträume voll funktionsfähig ist.The invention is based on the object mentioned eliminate parts and create a device that also over is fully functional for long periods.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß sich ein nach unten offener Hohlkörper, der am oberen Ende mit einem Schlauch verbunden ist, beim Einstecken in den Pflanztopf in der unteren Öffnung mit Erde zusetzt, die durch den Druck des über den Schlauch mittels einer Injektionsspritze eingespritz­ ten Wassers verdichtet wird.The object is achieved in that a hollow body that is open at the bottom and that has a Hose is connected when inserted in the plant pot to the lower opening with earth, which is caused by the pressure of the injected via the hose using an injection syringe th water is compressed.

Die verdichtete Erde ist so feinkapillar, daß sie genügend saugfähig ist, ohne, bei dem im Gerät entstehenden Unterdruck, Luft in das Gerät eindringen zu lassen. The compacted earth is so fine capillary that it is sufficient is absorbent, without the vacuum created in the device, Allow air to enter the device.  

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen ins­ besondere darin, daß die Bewässerung ohne ein vermittelndes poröses Material im direkten Kontakt mit der Erde erfolgt. Eine Verkalkung oder Spaltbildung in der Öffnung ist nicht möglich. Dadurch gibt es kein Nachlassen in der Leistung. The advantages achieved by the invention are special in that irrigation without an intermediary porous material is in direct contact with the earth. There is no calcification or gap formation in the opening possible. As a result, there is no decrease in performance.
