The problem 4 is to solve this problem.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in various ways to solve the above problems.

<Means for solving Problem 1>
Prior Art Closest to the Present Invention In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-103350, the incision of the flowerpot support tool is aligned with a support such as a veranda fence as shown in FIG. 1A, moved in the A direction, and the support is inserted into the incision. It is structured to move and sandwich the support. Therefore, it is necessary to connect two perpendicular cuts, the cut area increases, and the strength becomes weak.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the cuts are provided in a straight line from the left and right ends of the plate, so that a decrease in strength can be suppressed.
In the case of the support tool of FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 4B, the support tool is inserted between the support posts such as the veranda fence and then rotated, and the support tool is set so as to be sandwiched between the cuts. Even if the force is applied, the left and right cuts do not move against the support. In other words, it is possible to prevent it from coming off and dropping as in the prior art.

<Means for solving Problem 2>
3 does not move horizontally, the support tool is not easily detached from the support column as in the prior art, but when a force for rotating is applied in the same way as when the support device is attached, Will come off.
In order to prevent this, the fastener 5 is provided so as to press down the column as shown in FIG. 4A.
The fastener 5 is preferably fixed to the support plate with a pin or a screw that can be inserted / removed.
Also, as shown in FIG. 5A, in the case of a support tool having a notch perpendicular to the surface on which the pillars are arranged, such as a veranda fence, just by moving the support tool and inserting the support pillar into the notch, Since the force by which the incision presses the support column does not occur due to its own weight, the support column is pressed by providing a fastener as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.
By installing a stopper on the upper surface of the support tool at a position behind the support column and on the lower surface of the support tool in front of the support column, a force for pressing the support column by the weight of the flower pot and the support tool can be generated.
As mentioned above, even if the force which rotates a flower pot support tool is added by providing the fastener 5, it can prevent that a support tool falls off from a support | pillar.

<Means for solving Problem 3>
If one plate is cut along the line shown in FIG. 6A, five parts are obtained as shown in FIG. 6B. Insert the cut B1 of the component B into the cut A1 into the component A so that B2 is on the top. Insert B, which is a combination of part A and part B, into the gap between pillars such as a veranda fence, and pass one part D through the notch B2 of part B that comes out behind the fence. Next, the part D is passed through B2 so that the notch B2 of the part B comes before the fence.
Finally, when the flower pot is inserted into the flower pot insertion hole of the part A, as shown in FIG. 6C, it acts as a flower pot indicating tool that can fix the flower pot to an arbitrary height of the prop by the weight of the flower pot and the flower pot support. It is shown.
As shown in FIG. 6A, the interval between the notches A1 of the part A need not match the interval between the columns such as the veranda fence. If the fence support spacing is narrower than part D, it can be installed.
If the part D is cut out from the long side of the base metal rectangular plate, it can be handled even if the distance between the fences becomes long. If the part D is not concerned with cutting out from the base material, it has the feature that it can handle even if the spacing between pillars such as a veranda fence is further widened.

<Means for solving Problem 4>
When a hole for inserting a flower pot was made with a single plate, the diameter of the hole was determined to be one, so a flower pot smaller than that diameter could not be supported. In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, by placing an auxiliary plate having a hole larger than the hole diameter in the support tool and having a hole suitable for supporting a small-diameter flowerpot, It was designed to be able to support caliber flowerpots.
A guide pin (8 in FIGS. 7A, B, C and FIG. 8) is provided to fix the center of the auxiliary plate so that the center of the auxiliary plate is aligned with the original large-diameter hole formed in the support. It is good to open.
