Description

  The present invention relates to a plant cultivation planter for home use, business use, or park use for planting plants such as flowers and planted trees.

  Conventionally, planters have been widely used to plant plants such as flowers and planted trees. Commercially available general planters are made of materials such as plastic, wood, earthenware, and glass fiber (FRP), but each has the following drawbacks.

  The plastic planter was weak against sunlight and deteriorated in 1 to 2 years, and its lifetime was very short. Also, the recycling of the waste planter had to be treated as waste plastic. Since the wooden planter is corroded and deteriorated by rain water or the like, its lifetime is at most 2 to 3 years. Also, the disposal planter had to incinerate. The pottery planter has a semi-permanent life, but it has a high possibility of cracking and is very difficult to handle. Also, the disposal planter had to landfill. The glass fiber (FRP) planter has a longer life than the plastic planter, but the disposal of the disposal planter is very difficult.

Recently, in view of the idea of recycling waste products to protect the global environment, the planters that reuse waste products have been developed, as well as the reuse of waste planters. For example, Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, and 4 describe planters that use such waste products.

  The planter A for plant cultivation of the present invention is manufactured using the waste product of the metal container 4 for high pressure. Hereinafter, the various plant cultivation planters A will be described in detail based on the drawings together with the production method. In the description based on the following drawings, first, a case where the planter A for plant cultivation is produced from a three-part container will be described.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the waste product of the high-pressure metal container 4 is cut down in parallel with its axial direction in a state of being tilted (it is not necessary to be tilted and may be in a standing state). As a result, it is divided into two parts, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). This cutting can be performed by any of saw cutting, gas cutting, plasma cutting, and laser cutting, but the cut surface needs to be subjected to an end surface treatment by a grinder. The valve 12 is removed in advance before cutting. When the protector 13 is attached, the protector 13 is also removed in advance before cutting.

  The planter body 1 described in the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. In this state, the planter body 1 opens upward. Thereafter, near the both ends of the bottom surface of the planter body 1, drain holes 2 are formed at two left and right positions shown in FIG. The drain hole 2 shown here is composed of a hole drilled in the bottom surface of the planter body 1 and a pipe hanging from the bottom surface of the planter body 1 so as to cover the hole, but it may be just a hole. Further, as described above, the drain holes 2 are not necessarily provided in two places, and may be provided in one place or three or more places.

  A pair of left and right support legs 3 are provided on the bottom surface of the planter body 1 in parallel with the provision of the water drain hole 2. The support legs 3 are preferably made of the same metal as the planter body 1 and are attached to the bottom surface of the planter body 1 by welding or the like. The support legs 3 shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are thick plate-like, and their upper edges attached to the bottom surface of the planter body 1 by welding or the like are arc-shaped along the bottom surface of the planter body 1. It has become.

  Note that the support legs 3 are not necessarily provided at two locations, and may be provided at three or more locations. Further, the shape of the support leg 3 is not necessarily a plate shape, and may be another shape such as a column shape. Moreover, if it is bowl-shaped, the support leg 3 will be one. In addition, if the support leg 3 is made of metal, it can be reused as metal scrap (metal raw material) such as iron scrap and aluminum scrap after disposal, but the support leg 3 only needs to obtain a reliable support strength. It is not necessarily made of metal. In the above description, the support leg 3 is described as being attached to the bottom surface of the planter body 1 by welding or the like. However, for example, if the support leg 2 is bowl-shaped, the support leg 2 is not necessarily attached to the bottom surface of the planter body 1 by welding or the like. Alternatively, a planter body 1 that is separate from the planter body 1 may be mounted.
