Device for continuous watering of plants

The innovation relates to a device for continuous watering of plants.

Devices of the aforementioned Alt are used to For example, to provide houseplants with the vital water even if, for example as a result of a prolonged absence of the plant owner, no one is present in the apartment to look after them. the known devices also carry more than this helps to reduce the amount of work involved in watering the flowers.

lent to reduce because of the constant watering of the plants with water is no longer necessary.

Among other things, the plants regularly only receive that much water how they need to thrive is an exact dosage of the amount of water over a longer period of time necessary. To ensure this, the known devices have complicated control devices, which control the permanent flow of water. However, such facilities are in the process of being purchased and in operation very expensive and require due to their complex Constant maintenance »

The object of the innovation is to create a device of the type mentioned above that is able to to continuously provide the plants with the individually required amount of water over longer periods of time, which takes up relatively little space, is simple and uncomplicated and also has the water gives off to the plants at room temperature.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the device consists of a clay vessel with a filling opening consists, and that the vessel down to a tapered funnel-shaped, closed end that is permeable to water.

The inventive device can be advantageous With its tapering funnel-shaped end, it is easily inserted into the potting soil and over the filling opening be filled with water. In this way, the device is on the one hand safe in the upright position the earth, on the other hand, the plant is able to constantly get the water it needs from the clay pot suck out through its water-permeable end, so that no complex control devices for Control of water access are required.

The clay vessel advantageously serves as a storage container for the irrigation water. Yes, the water is in the container for a long time before it is used up ensures that it has an optimal temperature for the plant and is not too cold, whereby the flourishing of the plants is promoted «.

In another advantageous embodiment of the innovation the clay vessel is glazed from the outside with the exception of the lower closed funnel-shaped end »Through the The glaze of the vessel ensures that no water can penetrate the porous clay vessel, so that no water is lost unnecessarily and the supply, depending on the size of the vessel, at least for a period of time from 14 days and more is enough.

In contrast, it is advantageous that the tapering end of the vessel of the device according to the innovation, which is stuck in the potting soil when it is used and does not have any glaze. This enables the Water through the porous clay wall of the pointed end, supported by the suction effect of the plant roots, gradually gets into the surrounding plant soil and finally into the plant itself =

In another advantageous embodiment of the innovation the filling opening is relative to the vessel part dimensioned small. This advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention has the advantage that the amount of water evaporating from the filled vessel in the course of time is only very small, so that the water supply lasts for a longer period of time.

It is also advantageous that the upper part of the vessel of the device according to the invention compared to the tapered part funnel-shaped end is built so that it expands »The particular advantage of this design is that that this gives the vessel a particularly large volume so that it is in the J-position, sufficiently large amounts of water save.

Another advantageous embodiment cancellation of the innovation is that the same in the form of an animal

preferably, is formed of a bird, and designed as a hollow body for the body, the storage vessel for the \ = l is bießwasser

In a further advantageous embodiment of the innovation lawyers Execution is the bodily vascular part of the same glazed and the tapering funnel-shaped end unglazed and porous.

^ he innovation is schematic based on an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings. It shows:

Fig. 1 - the device according to the innovation with a vessel part designed in the shape of a bird in the side view,

Fig "2 - the device according to the innovation according to Fig. 1 in cross section and

^r ig = 3 - a cut through a flower pot filled with earth with a plant and the device according to the invention designed as a bird, with the same with its pointed porous end being inserted into the potting soil.

The inventive device 1 shown schematically by way of example in the drawings has the shape of a bird with its beak open. The bird is designed as a hollow body and forms the storage vessel 2 for the water. The hollow body or the vessel

merges into a tapering funnel-shaped closed lower end 3, with which the device is inserted into the ground, for example a potted plant (see. Fig. 3). Through the opened beak serving as the filling opening 4, the water 5 filled into the hollow body of the vessel 2.

The entire device is made of clay. The vessel 2 in the shape of a bird is covered with a colored glaze provided, while the tapered funnel-shaped End 3 is unglazed and porous, so that the water 5 from the vessel 2 into the surrounding the end 3 after insertion Soil 7 can seep in and be absorbed by the roots 8 of the plant 9,

It goes without saying that the described and illustrated embodiment of the innovation-compliant device only represents an advantageous embodiment of the inventive concept, which is by no means solely based on this should be limited. It is also understood that the innovation according to the device in the form of a any animal or can be designed as a normal vessel.
