Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1A is a schematic sectional view, and FIG. 1B is an overall perspective view. 2A is a partial schematic cross-sectional view showing the mounting structure of the mounting gantry, FIG. 2B is a partial plan view, and FIG. 2C is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view. 3A and 3B show a slide structure of the cultivation container, wherein FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view in a direction orthogonal to the slide direction, and FIG. 3B is a front view in the slide direction.

The roof 1 of the house has a slope (for example, 4-5 /
10), and a mounting base 8 having a right-angled triangular shape and an upper surface thereof being substantially horizontal is mounted on the roof 1. The mounting base 8 is made of metal such as steel or aluminum, and is fixed by bolts penetrating the roof 1. The height H on the ridge side of the mounting base 8 is about 200 mm, and the length L in the eave length direction is about 900 mm, but such dimensions and shapes can be changed.

Rails 6, 6 long in the eave length direction protrude upward from the upper edge of the peripheral portion of the mounting base 8 in the indoor and outdoor directions. The cradle 3 is formed in a pallet shape that can drain, with a bottom portion being a mushroom, so that, for example, three cultivation containers 2 such as planters can be placed and stored in parallel. A groove 1 is provided at the front and rear edges of the cradle 3.
0 and 10 are formed, and the roller 11 is
And a handle 13 is attached to an edge on the indoor side.

On the roof 1, an opening 5 is formed near the mounting base 8, and a skylight 32 is provided so as to be openable and closable. The skylight 32 is configured to be openable and closable at the pivot 14, for example, but may be opened and closed by sliding. A ladder unit for storing the ceiling is located behind the hut.
5 is installed, so that the skylight 32 can be manually opened and closed by climbing above the ceiling. By the way, irrigation is performed at home by determining the
It may be performed manually from the beginning, but may be performed by opening the faucet by hand or automatically. An example of a configuration for performing irrigation will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the pallet-shaped receiving table 3 is provided with, for example, a water injection nozzle 16. The water injection nozzle 16 and the pump 17 are connected by a flexible hose 18. By operating by a timer circuit, tap water is injected from a water injection nozzle 16 through a pipe connected to a pump 17 to irrigate a flower or the like in a cultivation container 2 such as a planter.

In such irrigation, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the water injection nozzle 16 is directly connected to the water pipe, and an opening / closing plug V is provided near the water injection nozzle 16 to open the opening / closing plug V when necessary. It may also be possible to perform irrigation by using.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, a watering hose 33 may be laid in the ridge and water may be supplied from the watering hose 33 like a shower.

As described above, the structure for irrigating the cultivation container 2 is collectively referred to as the irrigating means 4, but the structure can be changed.

As described above, in the present invention, the mounting base 8 is attached to the inclined roof 1, and the receiving base 3 on which the cultivation container 2 can be mounted substantially horizontally is mounted.
And irrigate the cultivation container 2 placed on the cradle 3 to take care of plants and flowers, including planting and watering, on the roof. It can be easily built.

In this case, by opening the skylight 32, it is possible to take care of the flowers and the like cultivated in the cultivation container 2. Further, the receiving stand 3 slidably provided on the mounting base 8 is opened. Since the cradle 3 is slid in the perspective direction with respect to the part 5, the cradle 3 can be moved away from or close to the opening 5, and the cultivation space on the roof can be expanded. In addition, since the cradle 3 is provided with the frame 3a and the lower half of the cultivation container 2 is dropped and held in the frame 3a, the cultivation container 2 may be dropped even when the cradle 3 is moved. Not safe. In addition, the opening 5 can be opened and closed from the back of the hut and a person can get out of the opening 5, so that care such as irrigation can be more easily performed.

When the mounting base 8 is mounted on the roof 1, as shown in FIG. 2C, a reinforcing bar 20 is bonded to the base plate 19 with an adhesive to achieve sealing and temporarily fix the reinforcing bar 20 to reinforce it. The bar 20, the ground board 19, the flat roof tile 21, and the mounting base 8 are penetrated by bolts 9, and the nuts 23 are screwed together to mount the mounting base 8. In this case, a heat insulating gel agent 24 is applied to the periphery of the head of the bolt 9 and covered with a heat insulating cover 25 made of synthetic resin.
It is fixed with. Incidentally, a long hole 31 is formed in the mounting base 8 so that the bolt 9 can be easily inserted. In the figure, 22 is a waterproof sealing material, 27 is a non-slip washer, and 28 is a retaining pin. Note that a frost cover 29 that covers the three pallet-shaped receiving trays 3 at a time may be detachably provided.

[0021]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the mounting frame capable of holding the cultivation container substantially horizontally is provided on the inclined roof and the cultivation container is held on the mounting frame, the cultivation on the roof is possible. The container can be held almost horizontally on the mounting base and can be used for watering, taking care of plants and flowers including watering, and a vegetable garden such as flower beds can be easily built on a sunny roof. There are advantages.

In the second aspect, an opening such as a skylight for maintenance is formed on the roof and the opening is configured to be openable and closable. There is an advantage that it can take care of cultivated flowers and the like.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the receiving table for storing and holding the cultivation container is slidably mounted on the mounting base, and the receiving table is configured to be movable in the near and far directions with respect to the opening. There is an advantage that the cradle can be moved farther or closer to the opening, so that the cultivation space on the roof can be expanded.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the receiving stand is provided with a frame frame, and the lower half of the cultivation container is dropped and held in the frame frame. There is an advantage that the cultivation container is not dropped even if the receiving stand is moved while being held, and it is safe.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the opening can be opened and closed from the back of the cabin and a person can get out of the opening. More care for watering, etc.
There is an advantage that it can be easily performed.
