And according to this support frame for support | pillars, the assembly | attachment operation | work of a support | pillar is easy and can be folded and stored compactly.
[0007]
However, in the support frame for support described above, it is not possible to make it smaller than the width of the fixed rod even in the folded posture.
[0008]
The present invention has been created in view of such circumstances, and provides a support body of a flower pot that can be folded smaller.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is used when cultivating vines such as morning glory, and a plurality of support posts inserted into support holes formed in a flower pot, and a regular interval between these support posts. A plurality of holding frames connected to each other, and a supporting body of a flowerpot, wherein the holding frame is formed by rotatably connecting opposing tip portions of a pair of holding frame bodies. An unfolded posture in which each support column is connected to the holding frame body through a connecting member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and each support column is connected substantially vertically to the horizontal holding frame, and the holding frame substantially follows each support column. Such a folding posture can be selected, and the holding frame is folded in two so that the holding frame bodies overlap in the folding posture.
[0010]
According to the present invention, the holding frame is formed by pivotally connecting the opposed front end portions of the pair of holding frame bodies, and the support column rotates around the horizontal axis via the connection member. Since the support frame is movably connected, the support frame can be moved to each support column by rotating the support frame around the horizontal axis with respect to the support column from the deployed posture in which the support column is connected to the horizontal support frame substantially vertically. It can be transformed into a folding posture that fits along. Moreover, since the front-end | tip parts which the holding frame body opposes are connected so that rotation is possible, it can be rotated so that a holding frame body may overlap, and a holding frame can be folded in half.
[0011]
Here, in the folding posture of the support body, the posture in which the holding frame is folded in two is hereinafter referred to as “storage posture”.
[0012]
As a result, it is possible to change the support body from the deployed position to the folded position, and to change the storage body into a storage position in which the width dimension is smaller than the width of the holding frame, and the support body can be stored in a small storage space. .
[0013]
The present invention is used when cultivating vines such as morning glory, and a plurality of support posts inserted into support holes formed in a flower pot, and a plurality of holding members connected to these support posts at regular intervals. In the support body of the flowerpot comprising the frame, the holding frame is composed of a pair of holding frame bodies in which both ends of the base piece portion are bent in the same direction to form side pieces, and these holding frame bodies are opposed to each other. The front end portions are formed so as to be rotatable, and the holding frame body of the holding frame excluding at least the uppermost holding frame among the holding frames is in a direction in which the opposing side piece portions approach or separate from each other. The support column is connected to the opposing side piece of each holding frame body via a connecting member so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and each support column is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal holding frame. The connected deployment posture and the holding frame are almost along each column. May be selected such folded and attitude, in the folded posture, frame holding as the holding frame overlaps is characterized in that it is folded in two.
[0014]
According to the present invention, the holding frame is formed by pivotally connecting the opposed front end portions of the pair of holding frame bodies, and the support column rotates around the horizontal axis via the connection member. Since the support frame is movably connected, the support frame can be moved to each support column by rotating the support frame around the horizontal axis with respect to the support column from the deployed posture in which the support column is connected to the horizontal support frame substantially vertically. It can be transformed into a folding posture that fits along. Moreover, since the front-end | tip parts which the holding frame body opposes are connected so that rotation is possible, it can be rotated so that a holding frame body may overlap, and a holding frame can be folded in half.
[0015]
As a result, it is possible to change the support body from the deployed position to the folded position, and to change the storage body into a storage position in which the width dimension is smaller than the width of the holding frame, and the support body can be stored in a small storage space. .
[0016]
In addition, when changing the support column from the deployed position to the folded position, the holding frame body of the holding frame excluding at least the uppermost stage can be expanded and contracted to have the same size as the uppermost holding frame body. Therefore, even when the holding frame sizes in the deployed posture are different, a flat folded posture can be obtained.
[0017]
The present invention is used when cultivating vines such as morning glory, and a plurality of support posts inserted into support holes formed in a flower pot, and a plurality of holding members connected to these support posts at regular intervals. In the support body of the flowerpot comprising the frame, the holding frame is disposed between a pair of holding frame members that are pivotably connected around the vertical axis at a substantially intermediate portion, and a front end portion of the pair of holding frame members facing each other. A pair of oscillating rods, both ends of which are connected to the tip of each holding frame body so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and the column is attached to each holding frame body or each oscillating rod Are connected to each other so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, and each support column is connected to a horizontal holding frame in a substantially vertical manner, and each holding frame body is stepped up and down via a swinging rod. The folding position can be selected with the folding position In, characterized in that the holding frame in the direction in which the swinging rod overlap is clamshell.
[0018]
According to the present invention, the holding frame is composed of a pair of opposing holding frame bodies and a pair of swinging rods whose ends are respectively connected to the tips of the opposing holding frame bodies so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis. Since the support column is attached to each holding frame body or connected to each swinging rod so as to be rotatable about the horizontal axis, each holding unit can be held from the deployed posture in which the support column is connected to the horizontal holding frame substantially vertically. By rotating the swinging rod around the horizontal axis with respect to the frame body, each holding frame body can be transformed into a flat folded posture arranged with a step up and down via the swinging rod. . Moreover, since the substantially intermediate part of each holding frame body is connected so that rotation is possible, each holding frame body can be rotated and it can be folded in half so that a rocking rod may overlap.
[0019]
As a result, it is possible to change the support body from the deployed position to the folded position, and to change the storage body into a storage position in which the width dimension is smaller than the width of the holding frame, and the support body can be stored in a small storage space. .

The holding frame 2 of the column body 1 is different in that the column 3 is connected to each swinging rod 22 so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis in the above-described fourth embodiment. That is, the support column 3 is positioned on the outer peripheral side of the swing rod 22 via the pin 40 and is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis.
[0090]
The support 3 is supported not only on the outer peripheral side of the swinging rod 22 but also on the inner peripheral side. However, when the support 3 is supported on the outer peripheral side, the swinging rod 22 is moved around the horizontal axis. When it is rotated, the support column 3 does not hit the holding frame body 21, so that the support column body 1 can be in a more flat folding posture. The means for pivotally supporting the column 3 to the swing rod 22 is not limited to the pin 40 described above. For example, a projection is formed on the column 3 and a recess corresponding to the swing rod 22 is formed. And it is good also by fitting these convex parts and recessed parts.
[0091]
The usage method of the support body 1 having the above-described configuration is the same as that of the fourth embodiment.
[0092]
Thus, the support body 1 of the present invention is easy to assemble and fold, and can be easily handled even by elementary school children.
[0093]
As mentioned above, although the cultivation of morning glory was demonstrated to the example regarding embodiment of the support | pillar body 1 which concerns on this invention, it is used suitably also for cultivation of not only this but another plant.
