Description

  The present invention relates to a method for easily fixing a support bar for holding a potted plant.

  When placing a support in a bowl, it was difficult to stand a support stably because it was shallow even when inserted into the soil.

  When standing up the poles in the bowl, the spacing between the poles inevitably narrowed, and when they were tied together at the top to stabilize the poles, the support effect became weaker and the support effect weakened as it went up.

There is also a commercially available support with a ring, but it was not strong enough to support plants with strong growth of foliage and was not strong enough in the windy outdoors.

  There was a problem that the struts could not be held sufficiently with the shallow soil in the pot.

  When the support column is set up outside the bowl, there is a problem that although it can be firmly supported, the bowl cannot be moved.

  A commercially available flowerpot has a problem that it cannot be easily set up because it is not considered to be able to stand upright.

  The present invention solves the conventional problems by attaching a column support capable of holding a column to the upper outer edge of the bowl.

  The pillar support has a shaft hole through which the pillar is passed, and the pillar can be held by passing the pillar through the shaft hole and piercing it into the soil of the pot.

  By attaching support posts to the upper outer edge of the bowl as many as required, you can set up the support posts where necessary.

  The upright post is fixed to the bowl, so if you want to move the bowl, you can move the bowl upright with the upright.

  According to this invention, the column can be easily set up simply by attaching the column support 2 to the bowl 1. Moreover, since the bowl 1 and the support | pillar 4 are united, the bowl 1 can be moved with the support | pillar 4 standing. If you want to change the installation location, or if you want to move to a safe place due to a typhoon, you can easily move it.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of the type in which the support column 2 is fastened to the bowl 1 with the fixing screw 3, if there is an edge frame on the upper part of the existing bowl, it can be attached without modification. Further, since the column support 2 is only attached to a position where the column is desired to be raised, a required number of columns such as a three-column column or a four-column column can be freely set.

  As shown in FIG. 3, if the hinge-type support 2 is used, it can be rotated and stored without removing it even if it is not necessary to stand the support. The column support 2 can be attached so that the column can be easily set up by attaching it once with a screw such as a tapping pin if it is an existing plastic bowl and has an upper edge frame.

  As shown in FIG. 4, by adding the support of the support column 2 to the bowl 1, the support column 2 can be detached with a single touch, and the support column can be set up freely. Even if you do not stand upright, you can remove it with one touch, so you can expand the range of use of the bowl.

  By attaching the fixing ring 6 of FIG. 5, a plurality of columns 4 can be connected, and the columns 4 can be reinforced and the position can be forced. It can be adjusted according to the diameter of the bowl 1 and the number of support columns 4, and can be fixed to a wide range.

  Commercially available plastic bowls have a variety of shapes rather than ease of molding. With the exception of small bowls, all have a border frame at the top of the bowl, which provides strength and ease of carrying. This invention is about the support | pillar support tool attached to the edge frame of these bowls.

  The upper edge frame of the existing plastic bowl is bent from the inner surface of the bowl, has a horizontal surface of about 2 to 3 cm, and is bent to the lower part to have a short vertical surface. The support is attached using the horizontal and vertical parts.

  A shaft hole through which the column penetrates downward is opened at the tip of the column support, and the column support is placed on the horizontal edge of the upper surface of the bowl at a position where the column can pierce the pot soil through the shaft hole. By tightening the fixing bracket with a screw, the base material on the outer edge of the bowl can be sandwiched and fixed.

  The pillar can be fixed in a self-supporting manner by inserting a pillar of a specified diameter into the shaft hole of the fixed pillar support and piercing it into the soil. Supports can be attached as many as needed at any position without processing ready-made bowls.

  In addition, when a dedicated bowl is provided, by adding a catch allowance to the upper part of the bowl, and by making a support that matches this, the hook can be hooked into the bowl and attached with a single touch by pushing the support. When removing, it can be easily removed by releasing the hook.

  It is possible to prevent the stem from being bent or abnormally bent by fixing the plant cultivated on the upright stand in this way with a string. Moreover, since the bowl and the support are integrated, the bowl can be moved with the support.

  FIG. 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention shows a state in which a support column 2 is attached to a pot 1 and a support column 4 is erected. The support column 2 is attached to a position where the support column 4 is desired to stand, and the support column 4 is penetrated through the shaft hole of the support column support 2 and pierced into the soil 5 of the pot 1. Further, in order to fix and hold the upper portion of the support column 4, a general state in which the fixing ring 6 is attached is shown.

  FIG. 2 shows a method for attaching and detaching the column support 2 to the bowl 1 with a fixing screw 3. The support column 2 can be fixed to the bowl 1 by sandwiching the edge surface of the bowl 1 by applying the support column 2 to the upper surface of the edge of the bowl 1 and screwing the fixing screw 3 into the support column 2.

  Since the support position of the support column 2 is simply tightened with the fixing screw 3, it can be attached to any position of the bowl 1. Therefore, it is possible to stand according to the number of pillars to be desired, such as three pillars 4 or 4 pillars.

  FIG. 3 shows a method in which the column support 2 can be rotated and stored so as not to get in the way when the column 4 is not set up with the column support 2 attached. The column support 2 is a hinge type, and the hinge of the column support 2 is fixed to the outer peripheral side surface of the bowl 1 by a fixing screw 3 such as a tapping pin.

  When the column 4 is erected, the column support 2 is rotated from the storage position and raised to the set position. In the set position, the support column 4 can be held independently by passing the support column 4 through the shaft hole of the support column support 2 and piercing the soil 5. The column support 2 has a degree of freedom with respect to the rotation axis of the hinge. However, by inserting the column 4 into the soil 5, the rotation resistance at the rotation axis of the hinge increases, and the column 4 can be supported stably. I can do it.

  Further, by separately using the fixing ring 6 shown in FIG. 1, the support 4 can be fixed even if there is no soil 5 because it becomes impossible to rotate at the hinge part of the support 2.

  In the case where the column is not set up, as shown in FIG. 3, the column support 2 can be moved out of the way to an unobstructed position by rotating about 270 ° from the set position. Even if you do not stand upright, you can plant pots without leaving the support with the support 2 attached.

  FIG. 4 shows a method in which the support column 2 can be attached and detached with a single touch by providing a catch allowance for the support column 2 inside the upper edge of the bowl 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the column support 2 is composed of a hook release lever 2A, an inner hook 2B, and an outer hook 2C.

  By providing the bowl 1 with a hook allowance for the inner hook 2B, the outer edge of the bowl 1 can be hooked at two locations on the outer hook 2C. The hook portion of the column support 2 is configured so that the hook portion of the hook spreads due to elastic deformation of the base material. Therefore, by pushing the column support 2 into the bowl 1 at the position where the column is raised, the hook of the column support 2 spreads due to elastic deformation, and the hook is caught at two locations of the bowl 1 and can be fixed with one touch.

  When removing the support column 2, by pushing the hook release lever 2 </ b> A of the support column 2, the hook claw spreads and the bowl 1 is caught and can be easily removed. If you do not need to stand up, you can remove it with a single touch so that it does not get in the way.

  FIG. 5 shows a method of increasing the rigidity of the support column 4 by connecting the support columns 4 standing on the pot 1 with a fixing ring 6. The fixing ring 6 has a band shape so that the diameter of the ring can be adjusted. It can be adjusted according to the size of the bowl 4 and can be freely fixed according to the number of upright columns 4.

  The support fixture 8 can be inserted into and removed from the fixing ring 6, and all the support posts can be fixed by passing the support fixtures 8 through the fixing ring 6 as many as the number of the support posts 4 standing up. .

  A ring fixing band 7 is attached to one end of the fixing ring 6, and the other end of the fixing ring 6 is passed through this, and the ring fixing band 7 is tightened when the required diameter is reached. They are pressed and fixed together.

  By passing a prescribed support through the support fixture 8 and tightening the lever of the support fixture 8 at a position where it is desired to be fixed, the fixing ring 6 and the support 4 can be fastened and fixed. When removing, by loosening the lever of the support fixture 8, the tightening is released and it can be easily removed.

  Since it is a method of attaching the support column using the upper edge frame of the bowl, it can be used when setting up the support column on a planter or the like.

It is the whole figure which set the support to the bowl. It is a figure of a screw fixed type support. (Example 1) It is a figure of a rotation accommodation type support. (Example 2) It is a figure of a one-touch detachable column support. Example 3 It is a figure of a support | pillar fixing ring. (Example 4)
