DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for fixing a planted tree root pot in which a root pot of a planted tree is provided on a rooftop of a concrete building or the like so as to assist the tree independence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional method of planting a tree on soil such as a park, a golf course, or a street, an anchor or the like is placed at the bottom of a root hole excavated on the ground, and the root of the tree is set in the root hole. After fastening the pot to the anchor with a rope or the like, the soil was buried back in the gap between the root pots to assist the planted tree independence.

[0003]

In recent years, trees have been planted on the roof of a concrete building or the like, but the depth of the soil provided on the roof or the like is limited. As described above, there is a problem that an anchor or the like used for planting on a normal ground cannot be used, and it has been limited to planting a young tree or a small tree.

On the other hand, it is required to plant a relatively large tree such as a roof garden, and it is necessary to install a root pot of the large tree on a roof or the like to firmly support its independence. A simple device that could be used was required.

Further, when trees are planted on the rooftop of a building or the like, there is an aesthetic problem that the fasteners used for assisting independence are not exposed from the ground around the planted trees.
Alternatively, there has been a demand for a planting device that satisfies the problems of safety and the like.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is intended to simply plant trees on a floor where the depth of soil is limited, such as the roof of a concrete building. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus for fixing a root pot of a planted tree, in which the planted tree is transplanted by a method, and the self-support of the planted tree is solidified, and the fasteners used for the self-support are not exposed from the ground. .

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for fixing a root pot of a planted tree according to the present invention comprises fixing a stabilizing plate at each end of a base material formed radially on a roof. The root mortar is placed on the upper part of the base formed on the floor surface of the base material, and fixed to the connecting member movably engaged along the locking piece formed in the longitudinal direction of each base material. A displacement member having a shoulder pad is inserted into the provided column, and the shoulder plate is provided in a vertical direction of each through-hole and each column provided in each displacement member at a height corresponding to the shoulder of the root pot. One of the plurality of through holes is aligned and bolted together, while the struts are cast around the root mortar, and then one belt is attached to a tow ring fixed to each shoulder pad. By sequentially passing and fastening, the periphery of the shoulder of the root pot is locked by the belt.

[0008] In addition, the root pot fixing device for planted trees of the present invention comprises a base formed by fixing a stabilizer to each end of a base material extending radially, and a base in a longitudinal direction of each base material. The support columns are fixed to the coupling members movably engaged along the formed locking pieces, the shoulder pads are fixed to the displacement members inserted into the respective columns, and the respective columns One of a plurality of through-holes formed along the vertical direction of the above and the through-holes formed in the respective displacement members are aligned and fastened with nuts, and fixed to the respective shoulder pads. One belt is inserted and fastened to the traction ring thus set.
