[0010]
Note that the sheet-shaped main body 12 and the projection 14 are preferably formed integrally. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the projection 14 may be any other shape (for example, if the sheet-shaped main body 12 is formed into a rolled state or a laminated state, a gap 16 extending in the vertical direction is formed). , Semicircular, trapezoidal).
[0011]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a mischief preventing tool 20 for a flower pot according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The mischief prevention tool 20 for flower pots has a predetermined height H and includes a sheet-shaped main body 22 extending in a horizontal direction. The sheet-shaped main body 22 has a cylindrical shape having a circular opening 24 extending in a vertical direction. It is composed of a cylindrical body 22a and a plate-like connecting portion 22b connecting the adjacent cylindrical bodies 22a.
[0012]
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a mischief prevention tool 30 for a flower pot according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The mischief prevention tool 30 for flower pots has a predetermined height H, and includes a sheet-shaped main body 32 extending in the horizontal direction. In the thickness portion of the sheet-shaped main body 32, a square opening 34 extending in the vertical direction is provided. They are provided at predetermined intervals.
[0013]
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a mischief preventing tool 40 for a flower pot according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The flower pot mischief prevention tool 40 includes a sheet-shaped body 42 having a predetermined height H and extending in the horizontal direction. The sheet-shaped body 42 connects structures 42a having an Ω-shaped cross section to each other. It is constituted by doing. In the case of the flowerpot mischief prevention tool 40, the open openings formed by the Ω-shaped structures 42a correspond to the openings 24 and 34 in the flowerpot mischief prevention tools 20 and 30 described above.
[0014]
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a mischief prevention tool 50 for a flower pot according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The mischief prevention tool 50 for flower pots has a predetermined height H and includes a sheet-shaped main body 52 extending in the horizontal direction. The sheet-shaped main body 52 has a cylindrical shape having a circular opening 54 extending in the vertical direction. It is composed of a tubular body 52a and a pin 52b for connecting adjacent tubular bodies 52a to each other.
[0015]
The sheet-shaped main bodies 22, 32, 42, and 52 are formed of a flexible material such as a synthetic resin material, like the sheet-shaped main body 12, and are easily rolled or laminated. .
[0016]
Next, use of the mischief prevention tool for a flower pot configured as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a state in which the soil portion of the flower pot is covered using the flower pot mischief prevention tool 50. That is, the mischief prevention tool for flower pots 50 is rolled and / or laminated to densely fill the soil portion of the flower pot and cover the soil portion of the flower pot.
[0017]
FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a usage example when a flowerpot is large. If the flower pot is large, the area of the soil is large, so it is time-consuming to cover the soil with only a flower pot mischief prevention tool, so it is necessary to use a cover plate with many openings. Good. As the covering plate, for example, a rectangular plate 60 provided with a large number of openings 60a extending vertically (see FIG. 9A), or a fan-shaped plate 62 provided with a large number of openings 62a extending vertically. However, other shapes such as a triangular or trapezoidal plate may be used. When a covering plate is used, first, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), an appropriate covering plate 60, 62 is disposed on the soil portion, and the portion of the soil not covered by the covering plate 60, 62 is used. Then, a tool for preventing mischief for flower pots in a rolled state and / or a laminated state is densely filled (see FIG. 8B), and the soil portion of the flower pots is completely covered.
[0018]
