Description
Le secteur technique de la présente invention celui des systèmes d'irrigation des plantes en pots. The technical sector of the present invention that of irrigation systems of potted plants.
De nombreuses conceptions de systèmes d'irrigation existent, qu'elles soient autonomes ou non. Les systèmes non autonomes, connus depuis fort longtemps, sont bacs conçus spécialement pour comprendre un double fond constituant une réserve d'eau alimentée par un conduit latéral. La terre se trouve au-dessus du fond supérieur, lequel est constitué par une nappe capillaire dont deux extrémités trempent dans l'eau du réservoir. On peut se référer par exemple au brevet US-A-5 <B>081 790.</B> bacs présentent inconvénient majeur de devoir être construits spécialement ce qui impose des dimensions et une esthétique immuables. Many designs of irrigation systems exist, whether autonomous or not. The non-autonomous systems, known for a long time, are bins specially designed to include a double bottom constituting a water supply fed by a lateral duct. The earth is above the upper bottom, which consists of a capillary layer whose two ends dip in the water tank. We can refer for example to the patent US-A-5 <B> 081 790. </ B> Bins have the major disadvantage of having to be specially constructed which imposes immutable dimensions and aesthetics.
Les systèmes autonomes, comme définis dans le brevet FR-A-2 458 94, sont souvent constitués d'un récipient obturé par une ou plusieurs grilles, destiné<B>à</B> être enterré au fond d'un pot. Ce récipient est alimenté au moyen d'un conduit vertical débouchant dans le récipient, l'irrigation étant assurée par une nappe capillaire disposée entre les grilles dont les bords trempent dans le réservoir. Autonomous systems, as defined in FR-A-2 458 94, often consist of a container closed by one or more grids, intended to be buried at the bottom of a pot. This container is fed by means of a vertical conduit opening into the container, the irrigation being provided by a capillary layer disposed between the grids whose edges dip in the tank.
Le brevet FR-A-2 646<B>750</B> décrit un système analogue au précédent, mais qui est constitué d'un ensemble de réservoirs emboîtables entre eux de façon<B>à</B> couvrir une gamme importante de dimension de pot. Patent FR-A-2 646 <B> 750 </ B> describes a system similar to the previous one, but which consists of a set of tanks that can be interlocked with one another so as to cover a wide range of pot size.
Le principal inconvénient de ces systèmes autonomes réside dans le fait qu'ils nécessitent une étude une fabrication particulières, car leurs éléments constitutifs ne sont pas disponibles<B>à</B> l'état de produits 'finis La présente invention vise<B>à</B> remédier<B>à</B> l'ensemble des inconvénients rappelés ci-dessus et procure de nouveaux avantages, en particulier en matière de facilité emploi, d'emballage et de prix de revient. The main disadvantage of these autonomous systems lies in the fact that they require a study a particular manufacturing, because their constituent elements are not available <B> to </ B> the state of products' finished The present invention aims <B > to </ B> remedy <B> to </ B> all the disadvantages mentioned above and provides new advantages, particularly in terms of ease of use, packaging and cost.
Ainsi invention a pour objet un dispositif autonome d'irrigation pour plantes en pots et son moyen d'emballage, constitué une part d'un réservoir muni d'un couvercle percé sur lequel est disposé un matériau apte a la capillarite dont les extrémités sont introduites dans ce réservoir et, d'autre part<B>d'</B> un tube<B>dl</B> alimentation du réservoir en liquide, caractérisé en ce que le moyen d'emballage du tube d'alimentation et du matériau apte<B>à</B> la capillarité constitue le réservoir et le couvercle eux- mêmes. Thus, the subject of the invention is an autonomous irrigation device for potted plants and its packaging means, consisting of a part of a reservoir provided with a pierced lid on which is disposed a material capable of capillarity whose ends are introduced. in this reservoir and, on the other hand, a tube for supplying the reservoir with liquid, characterized in that the means for packaging the feed tube and the suitable material <B> to </ B> the capillarity constitutes the tank and the lid themselves.
Avantageusement, le moyen d'emballage, le tube d'alimentation et le matériau apte<B>à</B> la capillarité sont produits finis ne nécessitant pas d'operation particulière d'adaptation. Advantageously, the packaging means, the feed tube and the material capable of capillary action are finished products that do not require any particular adaptation operation.
Avantageusement encore, le dispositif autonome irrigation pour plantes en pots et son moyen d'emballage comprennent un moyen<B>dl</B> évacuation du liquide en de surremplissage. Advantageously, the self-contained irrigation device for potted plants and its means of packaging comprise means for draining the liquid in overfilling.
Le moyen<B>dl</B> évacuation du liquide peut être constitué par des trous pratiqués dans le couvercle. The means for draining the liquid may consist of holes in the lid.
Avantageusement, le couvercle est percé par quatre trous oblongs disposés deux-à-deux suivant deux lignes, sensiblement perpendiculaires par exemple, destines<B>à</B> recevoir le matériau apte<B>à</B> la capillarité sous forme de bandes. Avantageusement encore, les bandes sont disposées en partie au-dessus des orifices pratiqués dans le couvercle constituent une barrière aux éléments solides introduits dans le pot. Advantageously, the lid is pierced by four oblong holes arranged two-by-two along two lines, substantially perpendicular, for example, for receiving material capable of forming capillarity in form. bands. Advantageously, the strips are arranged partly above the holes in the lid constitute a barrier to the solid elements introduced into the pot.
D'autres caractéristiques, détails et avantages de 'invention apparaîtront plus clairement<B>à</B> la lecture du complément de description qui va suivre d'un mode de realisation donné<B>à</B> titre d'exemple, en relation avec des dessins sur lesquels<B>: -</B> <B>-</B> la figure<B>1</B> représente une coupe montrant <B>1</B> intégration du dispositif dans un pot, <B>-</B> la figure 2 représente une vue de dessus du couvercle. Other characteristics, details and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly in the following description of the description which follows from a given embodiment to an example title. , in relation to drawings on which <B>: - <B> - </ B> Figure <B> 1 </ B> represents a section showing <B> 1 </ B> device integration in a pot, <B> - </ B> Figure 2 shows a top view of the lid.
Sur la<B>f</B> igure <B>1,</B> on a représenté un pot<B>1</B> pour une plante muni d'un orifice 2 d'évacuation de l'eau en excès dans la terre contenue dans ce pot. Sur le fond de ce pot, on dispose le dispositif autonome selon l'invention qui comprend un réservoir<B>3</B> muni d'un couvercle 4. Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, le réservoir<B>3</B> et son couvercle sont des produits courants du commerce, tels les boîtes en matière plastique destinées<B>à</B> contenir des aliments par exemple. En général, le couvercle ferme hermétiquement le réservoir comme représenté sur le dessin. La dimension du réservoir est quelconque et on trouve dans le commerce des réservoirs de toutes les dimensions. Le couvercle 4 est percé d'un certain nombre de trous<B>5-9.</B> Les trous<B>5</B> et<B>9</B> permettent le passage d'un matériau<B>10</B> apte<B>à</B> la capillarité<B>10</B> dont le rôle est d'amener l'eau contenue dans le réservoir vers l'extérieur du réservoir<B>3</B> par l'intermédiaire de ses extrémités<B>11.</B> Bien entendu, ce matériau<B>10</B> est également imputrescible. Dans l'exemple représenté, les trous<B>5</B> et<B>9</B> sont de forme oblongue pour recevoir le matériau<B>à</B> capillarité sous la forme d'une bande. Les trous<B>5</B> et<B>9</B> sont disposés sensiblement suivant un diamètre du couvercle 4. Le dispositif est complété par un tube d'alimentation 12 traversant le couvercle 4 et dont l'extrémité libre<B>13</B> est accessible de l'extérieur pour alimenter en eau le réservoir<B>3.</B> Avantageusement, le tube 12 présente une paroi extérieure plissée permettant de faire varier sa longueur. Les trous<B>6-8</B> sont destinés<B>à</B> l'évacuation du surplus d'eau introduit dans le réservoir <B>3.</B> Sur la<B>f</B> igure, on voit que le matériau<B>10</B> recouvre tous les trous<B>6-8,</B> ce qui prévient l'introduction de terre dans le réservoir. On the <B> f </ B> igure <B> 1, </ B> a pot <B> 1 </ B> has been shown for a plant with a water discharge port 2 in excess in the earth contained in this pot. On the bottom of this pot, there is the autonomous device according to the invention which comprises a tank <B> 3 </ B> with a lid 4. According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the tank <B> 3 </ B> and its lid are standard products of the trade, such as plastic boxes intended to contain food for example. In general, the lid seals the reservoir as shown in the drawing. The size of the tank is arbitrary and we find in the trade tanks of all dimensions. The lid 4 is pierced with a number of holes <B> 5-9. <B> 5 </ B> and <B> 9 </ B> allow the passage of a material < B> 10 </ B> apt <B> to </ B> the capillarity <B> 10 </ B> whose role is to bring the water contained in the tank to the outside of the tank <B> 3 </ B> through its <B> 11 ends. </ B> Of course, this <B> 10 </ B> material is also rot-proof. In the example shown, the holes <B> 5 </ B> and <B> 9 </ B> are of oblong shape to receive the material <B> at </ B> capillarity in the form of a band. The holes <B> 5 </ B> and <B> 9 </ B> are arranged substantially along a diameter of the cover 4. The device is completed by a feed tube 12 passing through the cover 4 and whose free end <B> 13 </ B> is accessible from the outside to supply water to the tank <B> 3. </ B> Advantageously, the tube 12 has a pleated outer wall for varying its length. The holes <B> 6-8 </ B> are intended <B> to </ B> the evacuation of the excess water introduced into the tank <B> 3. </ B> On the <B> f < / Igure, we see that the material <B> 10 </ B> covers all the holes <B> 6-8, </ B> which prevents the introduction of earth into the tank.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut donc être utilisé tel que représenté avec une grande variété de modèles de pots de forme banale ou esthétique que ce soit<B>-à</B> l'extérieur ou<B>à</B> l'intérieur. En cas de surarrosage ou de pluie importante, l'eau s'écoule par les trous<B>6-8</B> du couvercle et vers l'extérieur<B>à</B> travers l'orifice 2 du pot. The device according to the invention can therefore be used as shown with a wide variety of models pots trivial or aesthetic form either <B> -at </ B> outside or <B> to </ B> inside. In the event of overwatering or heavy rain, water will drain through the holes <B> 6-8 </ B> of the lid and out <B> through the hole 2 of the pot .
Sur la figure 2, on a représenté une vue de dessus du couvercle 4 montrant la disposition des différents trous<B>5</B> <B>à 9.</B> Les trous<B>5</B> et<B>9</B> de forme oblongue permettent le passage du matériau<B>10</B> apte<B>à</B> la capillarité, sous forme d'une bande. Lorsque cette bande est mise en place, on voit qu'elle recouvre les trous<B>6, 7</B> et<B>8.</B> Ces derniers sont disposés sur une ligne joignant les trous<B>5</B> et<B>9.</B> Le couvercle peut présenter deux autres trous oblongs<B>5'</B> et<B>9'</B> destinés au passage d'une autre bande<B>10'</B> de tissu apte<B>à</B> la capillarité dont les extrémités libres sont engagées dans le réservoir. Des trous<B>61, 71</B> et<B>81</B> peuvent être pratiqués le long d'une ligne joignant les trous<B>5'</B> et<B>9'</B> de façon<B>à</B> augmenter le pouvoir d'évacuation du réservoir. Sur la figure, on voit le trou 14 par lequel est introduit le tube 12 après avoi été étiré et mis en ligne. In Figure 2, there is shown a top view of the cover 4 showing the disposition of the different holes <B> 5 </ B> <B> to 9. </ B> The holes <B> 5 </ B> and <B> 9 </ B> of oblong shape allow the passage of material <B> 10 </ B> apt <B> to </ B> the capillarity, in the form of a band. When this band is put in place, we see that it covers the holes <B> 6, 7 </ B> and <B> 8. </ B> These are arranged on a line joining the holes <B> 5 </ B> and <B> 9. </ B> The cover may have two other oblong holes <B> 5 '</ B> and <B> 9' </ B> for the passage of another band < B> 10 '</ B> of tissue suitable <B> to </ B> the capillarity whose free ends are engaged in the reservoir. Holes <B> 61, 71 </ B> and <B> 81 </ B> may be used along a line joining holes <B> 5 '</ B> and <B> 9' </ B> so <B> to </ B> increase the evacuation capacity of the tank. In the figure, we see the hole 14 through which is introduced the tube 12 after being stretched and put online.
<B>A</B> l'achat, le réservoir<B>3</B> renferme le matériau<B>10</B> apte <B>à</B> la capillarité, sous forme de deux bandes par exemple, et le tube 12 en position courbé constituant ainsi un emballage présentable tel que dans le commerce. On dispose ainsi d'un kit dont tous les constituants sont utilisés. On -voit donc un avantage tout<B>à</B> fait important de l'invention qui permet d'utiliser l'emballage<B>à</B> titre de réservoir qui autrement serait jeté.<B> A </ B> the purchase, the <B> 3 </ B> tank contains the material <B> 10 </ B> apt <B> to </ B> the capillarity, in the form of two bands for example, and the tube 12 in the curved position thus constituting a presentable packaging as in the trade. There is thus a kit of which all the constituents are used. One thus sees an advantage all important to the invention which makes it possible to use the packaging as a reservoir which would otherwise be discarded.
