Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive planter that is simply assembled. SOLUTION: This planter is obtained by stacking plural rod-like bodies 4, 5 and 6 having rectangular plane shape and constituting side wall parts 2 and 3 and engaging ends of rod-like bodies 4, 5 and 6 constituting adjacent side wall parts 2 and 3 to each other by recessed parts 4a, 5a and 6a formed at the ends of rod-like bodies.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a planter used as a flowerpot and as a decorative cover for a flowerpot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most of the known planters of this type are integrally formed using a synthetic resin as a material. However, when the planter is integrally molded using a synthetic resin as a material, there is a problem that a molding die becomes very large and costs increase.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to provide an inexpensive planter which can be easily assembled.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, the present invention is directed to a concave portion formed at the end of a plurality of rods, each of which has a square planar shape and constitutes each side wall portion. The gist of the present invention is that the end portions of the rods constituting the adjacent side wall portions are engaged with each other.

[0005] With this configuration, a plurality of rods constituting each side wall of the planter are stacked and the ends of a plurality of rods constituting the adjacent side wall are engaged with each other, so that assembly is simplified. Therefore, an inexpensive planter can be provided without requiring a large molding die as in the conventional example.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3,
1 is a pair of opposed side wall portions 2 and 2 located on the long side,
A planter comprising another pair of opposed side walls 3 and 3 located on the short side, wherein each of the side walls 2 located on the long side has a substantially equilateral triangular cross section and a horizontal length. , And each side wall 3 located on the short side is formed by vertically arranging two rods 5 each having a substantially equilateral triangular cross section and a horizontal length. The two rods 5 are vertically sandwiched from above and below by two rods 6 which are substantially triangular in cross section and whose length is oriented horizontally in the longitudinal direction. More specifically, in each of the side walls 2 located on the long side, each of the rods 4 is arranged such that the vertices of the substantially equilateral triangle of the cross-sectional shape face outward and the other two vertices face up and down,
The apex of the lower end of the rod 4 located on the upper side and the apex of the upper end of the rod 4 located in the middle are in contact with each other, and the apex of the lower end of the rod 4 located in the middle and the upper end of the rod 4 located on the lower side. Are in contact with the top of In each side wall 3 located on the short side, the two rods 5 are orthogonal to the rod 4 of each side wall 2 located on the long side, and each rod 5 is The vertices of the substantially equilateral triangle having a cross-sectional shape are arranged so that the vertices face outward and the other two vertices face upward and downward, and the vertexes of the lower end of the rod 5 located on the upper side and the upper end of the rod 4 located on the lower side The vertex is in contact. The end of the rod 5 located on the upper side is located between the end of the rod 4 located on the upper side of each side wall 2 located on the long side and the end of the rod 4 located in the middle. Bar-shaped body 5 sandwiched and located on the lower side
Is sandwiched between the end of the rod 4 located in the middle of each side wall 2 located on the long side and the end of the rod 4 located below. The end of the rod 6 located on the upper side and the end of the rod 5 located on the upper side of the rods 6 are located on the upper side of each side wall 2 located on the long side. The end of the body 4 is sandwiched, and the end of the rod 6 located on the lower side and the end of the rod 5 located on the lower side of the rod 6 are located on the long side. The end of the rod 4 located below the side wall 2 is sandwiched. And the rod 4
Are formed on the end of the rod 5 and the end of the rod 6 so as to engage with each other.

In the above construction, the rods 4, 4,... Forming one set of opposed side walls 2, 2 and the rods 5, 5,. And 6,
Are engaged with each other by the recesses 4a, 5a, and 6a to form a planter 1 as shown in FIG. The completed planter 1 is configured such that the recess 4a at the end of the rod 4 and the recesses 5a and 6a at the ends of the rod 5 and the rod 6 engage with each other.
It does not rise and fall apart, but it is not connected in the vertical direction, so it is necessary to carry the lower end by hand when carrying it. The recess 4a at the end of the rod 4 and the rod 5 and the rod 6
The rod-shaped body 4 is driven by driving a pin or the like connected in the vertical direction at an engagement portion of the end portion with the concave portions 5a and 6a.
And the rod-shaped body 5 and the rod-shaped body 6 can be connected to each other, so that carrying becomes easy.

Further, as described above, the recess 4a at the end of the rod 4 and the recesses 5a and 6a at the ends of the rod 5 and the rod 6 are engaged with each other, so that two sets of opposing side walls are formed. 2,2,3,3 are formed, but planter 1
Since the bottom is open, a bottom plate may be provided at the bottom of the space surrounded by the two sets of opposed side walls 2, 2, 3 and 3 as necessary.

Further, soil may be directly introduced into the space surrounded by the two sets of opposing side walls 2, 2, 3 and 3 of the planter 1 having the above-described structure, and used as a flowerpot.
Alternatively, a flower pot made of pottery or the like may be positioned inside a space surrounded by two sets of opposing side walls 2, 2, 3, and 3, and used as a decorative cover for the flower pot. The rods 4, 5, and 6 may be made of a synthetic resin or metal other than wood.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the shape of the planter 1 has a substantially rectangular planar shape, but may be a triangle, a square, or another polygon. In addition, the number of rods 4 and 5 used can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the depth of the planter 1.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of rods constituting each side wall of a planter are stacked and the ends of a plurality of rods constituting adjacent side walls are connected to each other. By combining them, assembly can be performed easily,
An inexpensive planter can be provided without requiring a large molding die as in the conventional example.
