Description

Structure for green wall.

Technical sector of the invention

The present invention relates to a structure to build green walls or vertical gardens, of type of those that comprise wall elements where they are supported containers for plants and flowers, such as pots, through some support means.

Background of the invention

In public works, landscaping and landscaping a good number of realizations of the so-called "green walls" are known (in English " green walls "). In them plants are fixed to constitute vertical walls or enclosures constituted by vegetation that, playing with different floral and plant species and different colors, provide an important aesthetic effect, as well as a contribution to environmental sustainability.

Typically, these green walls are of use in public works, on slopes and containment elements, and normally They are dense, compact, of a great thickness. Green walls Conventional are made of earth with cloth, and a very large size bulky, so there is a demand in the market for some green walls more versatile, manageable and of a smaller scale.

The present invention aims at provide a solution to this vacuum detected.

Explanation of the invention.

To this end, the purpose of this invention is a structure for green walls, of novel concept and functionality, which is essentially characterized by wall elements consist of two or more structures flat and parallel lattices, arranged linked to each other by horizontal braces, which are attached to the ground by means of fixing or base.

According to another feature of the present invention, the structure comprises means for fixing the containers to the wall elements, in an arrangement of vertical alignment over each other, and the funds being of containers equipped with a certain permeability to allow the irrigation of a container by dripping water from of the immediately superior.

According to another feature of the present invention, the reticular structure of the elements of wall consists of interlocking tubes or bars according to a rectangular configuration

According to another feature of the present invention, the reticular structure of the wall elements is constituted by interlocking tubes or bars according to a honeycomb configuration.

According to another feature of the present invention, the reticular structures of the elements of wall are usual welded mesh portions in building.

The reticular structure of the wall elements it is preferably made of metal, although it is also provided that it can be of a plastic, wood or material material compounds.

In a preferred embodiment of the means of support, these include the horizontal braces themselves, on the ones that can support the containers.

Preferably, the containers will remain confined in the interior space determined by two elements of consecutive wall.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, thanks to the new and inventive features of this invention, this structure allows to build green walls of relatively small dimensions, whether walls, walls, railings, wall lining, with the possibility of planting plants and the creation of divisions between spaces.

The green walls built with the structures of the invention may be opaque or translucent, with a degree of variable planting or filter, and can be applied as an element urban classifiable as limit, gardener, landscape element, or even as a vertical garden.

Brief description of the drawings

The detailed description follows of preferred, but not exclusive, embodiments of the structure to build green walls object of the invention, for whose best understanding is accompanied by some drawings in which illustrates by way of non-limiting example, embodiments of the present invention In these drawings:

Fig. 1, is a perspective view of a green wall built with a first embodiment of the structure of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of another green wall built with a second embodiment of the invention;

Fig. 3 is a front elevation view that illustrates the mode of irrigation with green walls built from of the structure of the present invention;

Fig. 4 is an elevation view, showing two green walls according to the invention, one of which is shown from the front and the other from the side, constituting two walls or railings, and in which for illustrative purposes, it has been represented a person; Y

Fig. 5 is a view analogous to Fig. 4, but which shows two larger green walls, one of which it is shown from the front and the other from the side, constituting in this case two walls, in which a person.

Detailed description of the drawings

In these drawings it can be seen that the structure 1, for the construction of green walls and gardens vertical, of the present invention comprises elements of wall 2, 2 'where containers 3 are supported for plants 4 and flowers 5, through support means. The wall elements 2, 2 ' they are constituted by two reticular structures 12, 12 'flat and parallel, arranged parallel and linked to each other by braces horizontal 6, which are attached to the floor 7 by fixing means 8 or base.

The containers 3 can be elongated pots that are supported, in the example illustrated, on the own ones horizontal braces 6, although other modes of support.

Thus, in the example of green walls constituted by the embodiments of structure 1 that are show, the containers 3 are confined in space interior determined by two wall elements 2, 2 'consecutive in an overlapping relationship, one over another. The funds of the containers 3 are according to the invention, provided with a certain permeability, which allows irrigation of a container 3 by the dripping of excess water 10 from the immediately superior, as illustrated in Fig. 3, in which it is shown as the volume of water from an initial top irrigation (shower 15) is each less and less as we descend in height, which has represented by drops of water 19 of decreasing volume with the height of each container 3.

In these drawings it can be seen that the structure reticular 12, 12 'of the wall elements is constituted by intersecting tubes or bars 13, 14 according to a configuration rectangular. In a preferred embodiment, the wall elements they are usual welded mesh portions under construction ("mesh").

Naturally, other forms are planned geometries of the tubes or bars, such as for example according to a honeycomb configuration.

Likewise, the preferred material will be metal, for example steel or aluminum, but others are also possible materials, such as plastic, wood or materials compounds.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as how to implement it, is states that everything that does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle, is subject to variations in detail.
