Abstract

The water drain for a flower pot has a base (1) of frusto-conical shape mounted on several cylindrical feet (6). The periphery of the base has grooves (4) with vanes (5) to optimize drainage flow. The central part forms a tray (2) enclosing a piece of plant food which diffuses across the cover which has apertures (7).

Description

-1-1

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de drainage d'eau d'arrosage pour pot de fleurs, associé ou non à un système d'apport d'engrais à libération régulière, diffuse et prolongée.  The present invention relates to a device for draining water for a flowerpot, associated or not with a fertilizer supply system with regular, diffuse and prolonged release.

Ce dispositif est destiné à être placé dans la partie inférieure  This device is intended to be placed in the lower part

d'un contenant pour plantes (Pot de fleurs).  a container for plants (Flowerpot).

Voir figures 5 et 6 de la planche 3/4.  See Figures 5 and 6 of Plate 3/4.

La méthode traditionnelle se présente sous la forme artisanale 10 d'ajout de graviers ou d'éclats de pots de terre qui permet en étant placé au fond du contenant, une évacuation très approximative de l'eau d'arrosage. Les graviers ou les débris de pot en terre se mélangent rapidement au substrat et, se faisant, ne jouent plus le rôle de drainage en obturant le trou d'évacuation du pot. Il en 15 résulte une stagnation de l'eau d'arrosage entraînant une  The traditional method is presented in the artisanal form 10 of adding gravel or fragments of earthen pots which allows, being placed at the bottom of the container, a very approximate evacuation of the irrigation water. Gravel or debris from an earthen pot quickly mixes with the substrate and, in doing so, no longer plays the role of drainage by closing the drain hole in the pot. This results in stagnation of the irrigation water resulting in a

putréfaction des racines de la plante.  putrefaction of the plant roots.

La présente invention à pour objet d'éviter cet inconvénient avec un drainage durable et performant, permettant ainsi à la plante de vivre dans un substrat non saturé d'humidité.  The object of the present invention is to avoid this drawback with durable and efficient drainage, thus allowing the plant to live in a substrate that is not saturated with moisture.

L'invention pourra se doter d'un système d'apport d'engrais qui ôtera à l'utilisateur (jardinier) tout soucis d'apport régulier de nourriture à la plante.  The invention could be equipped with a fertilizer supply system which will remove from the user (gardener) any concern for regular supply of food to the plant.

Sachant que l'oubli d'apport d'engrais conduit la plante à vivoter, voir à décliner au lieu de s'épanouir.  Knowing that forgetting to add fertilizer leads the plant to survive, or even to decline instead of flourishing.

Le dit socle (1) est muni en sa base de plusieurs pieds (6) cylindriques servants à le surélever, afin de permettre un parfait écoulement de l'eau.  Said base (1) is provided at its base with several cylindrical feet (6) serving to raise it, in order to allow a perfect flow of water.

La périphérie du tronc se trouve évidée selon des fentes (4) verticales elles mêmes munies d'ailettes (5).Ces ailettes rigides  The periphery of the trunk is hollowed out according to vertical slots (4) themselves provided with fins (5). These rigid fins

sont disposées verticalement sur toute la périphérie du tronc.  are arranged vertically around the entire periphery of the trunk.

Ces fentes (4) ajourées sont destinées à augmenter la performance du drainage de l'eau d'arrosage; Les ailettes (5) visent à renforcer la solidité de l'ensemble de la pièce et réduisent  These perforated slots (4) are intended to increase the performance of the irrigation water drainage; The fins (5) aim to reinforce the solidity of the whole of the part and reduce

Le dit couvercle (3) cylindrique sera muni de multiples perforations (7).  Said cylindrical cover (3) will be provided with multiple perforations (7).

Ces perforations (7) permettront la libération diffuse et régulière de 25 l'engrais dans le substrat, favorisant une fonction nutritive efficace  These perforations (7) will allow the diffuse and regular release of the fertilizer into the substrate, promoting an effective nutritive function.

et prolongée.and prolonged.

La libération diffuse de l'engrais est très importante car elle n'agresse pas les racines (aucun risque de brlure des racines).  The diffuse release of the fertilizer is very important because it does not attack the roots (no risk of root burns).
