Description

この発明は、水やりが困難な状況下にあっても、ある程度長時間、植物に水を補給することが可能な、根腐れしにくい水やり補水器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a watering and rehydrating apparatus that is capable of replenishing water to a plant for a certain period of time even under conditions where watering is difficult, and is resistant to root rot.

従来の植木鉢は、植物を枯れさせないために水を撒いても、水が土壌の中を真っ直ぐに落ちるので保水時間は短く、毎日水を撒く必要があった。
又、様々な保水用の装置が施されたものもある。Conventional plant pots have been short of water retention time and need to be watered every day because water falls straight down in the soil even if watered so as not to wither the plants.
Some are equipped with various water retention devices.

参考文献１は、吸水芯により吸い上げた水を、一旦保水パットに移し、更に吸水芯により植木鉢の底部の排水孔より植木鉢内の土に水を移すアイデアであるが、植木鉢の底の穴は、植物の生長に必要な空気を通す大切な役割があり、その穴を塞ぐと水は吸収出来ても空気が入らないので、根腐れする恐れがある。
参考文献２は、本発明の出願人によって先に出願されたものであるが、水やりの方法が、二重植木鉢の外側と内側の鉢の間の隙間に入れた水を内側の鉢の壁に開けた穴を通して吸水性のある紐によって土に補水する手段である。
本発明は、紐によって土に補水する方法は同じであるが、貯水方法が蓋付き容器の中に貯水することに相違がある。
鉢植えの植物には、水を補給しなければならないが、うっかり水を撒くのを忘れたり、何日も家を留守にした場合、水を補給しないでおくと植物が枯れてしまう。そこで、そのような場合でも植物が枯れないように水を補給することを本発明は目的とする。Reference 1 is an idea that the water sucked up by the water absorption wick is once transferred to the water retaining pad, and further the water is transferred from the drain hole at the bottom of the flower pot to the soil in the flower pot by the water absorption wick. There is an important role to let the air necessary for the growth of the plant, and if the hole is closed, the water can be absorbed but the air will not enter, so there is a risk of root rot.
Reference 2 was previously filed by the applicant of the present invention, but the method of watering the wall of the inner pot with water put in the gap between the outer and inner pots of the double flower pot. It is a means of replenishing the soil with a water-absorbing string through a hole drilled in.
In the present invention, the method of replenishing soil with a string is the same, but the difference is that the water storage method stores water in a lidded container.
Potted plants must be replenished with water, but if you forget to sow or leave your house for days, the plant will die if you do not replenish it. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to supply water so that the plant does not wither even in such a case.

蓋付き水入れ容器の壁面の上部に複数個所の小穴を開け、各小穴に水やりのための毛細管現象を活用した吸水紐を通し、吸水紐の片端は蓋付き水入れ容器の中に垂らし、吸水紐のもう一方の先の部分は植木鉢の土中に埋める。
以上を特徴とする水やり補水器。Open small holes in multiple places on the top of the wall of the water container with a lid, pass a water absorption string utilizing the capillary phenomenon for watering through each small hole, and hang one end of the water absorption string in the water container with a lid, The other end of the water absorbing string is buried in the soil of the flower pot.
A watering replenisher characterized by the above.

鉢植えの植物には、水を補給しなければならないが、うっかり水を撒くのを忘れたり、何日も家を留守にした場合、水を補給しないでおくと植物が枯れてしまうことがあるが、本発明を使用することにより、ある程度長時間保水されるので、植物が枯れることがない。
又、保水パットなどの追加部材も必要なく、コスト安であり、吸水芯で植木鉢の底の穴を塞ぐこともなく、根腐れの心配がない。
更に、二重植木鉢構造と違って、鉢は一つだけで済む。Potted plants must be replenished with water, but if you forget to sow or leave your house for days, the plant may die if you do not replenish it. By using the present invention, the water is retained for a long time, so that the plant does not wither.
Further, no additional member such as a water retaining pad is required, the cost is low, the hole at the bottom of the flower pot is not blocked by the water absorption core, and there is no fear of root rot.
Furthermore, unlike the double flower pot structure, only one pot is required.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
（イ）蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）の壁面の上部に複数個所の小穴（３）を開ける。小穴（３）の位置は、小穴（３）より上には水が溜まらないので、貯える水の量を多くするためなるべく高い方がいい。小穴（３）の直径は１５ｍｍ位で十分。
（ロ）各小穴（３）に水やりのための毛細管現象を活用した吸水紐（４）を通し、吸水紐（４）の片端（５）は蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）の中に垂らし、吸水紐（４）のもう一方の先の部分（６）は植木鉢（７）の土（８）の中に埋める。吸水紐（４）の長さは、水入れ容器（２）の内底より始まり、小穴（３）を通過し、植木鉢（７）内に入り、浅い所でも深い所でもかまわないが、土（８）の中にまんべんなく水がしみわたるように張り巡らせる長さが必要である。
（ハ）吸水紐（４）の太さは、植木鉢内の土の量や、植える植物によって必要とする水の量が異なるので、土の量が多かったり、多く水を必要とする植物には太い紐を、土の量が少なかったり、必要とする水が少なくてよい植物には細い紐でよい。普通直径３ｍｍから１０ｍｍ位の紐を適宜使用する。
吸水紐（４）の材質としては、実験的にみてアクリルなどがよい。
（ニ）水入れ容器（２）の中に、塵埃が入らぬように蓋（１）を被せる。
本発明は、以上のような構成である。
これを実際に使用するときは、
（イ）蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）内の水に、日光が当たると藻が発生するので、蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）は遮光性のある材料で作った方がいい。遮光性の無い材料で作った場合には、遮光性のあるテープを貼るとか、遮光性のある塗料を塗るとかした方がいい。
（ロ）本発明品は、植木鉢（７）内の土（８）の中に埋めて使用してもいいし、−図２ａ参照−植木鉢（７）の外に置いてもよい。−図２ｂ参照−
本発明品を植木鉢（７）内の土（８）の中に埋めるときは、小穴（３）が土（８）の表面より下にくる位置まで埋めた方がいい。小穴（３）が土（８）の表面より上になると吸水紐（４）が露出され、露出した部分から水が蒸発したり藻がついたりすることがある。
本発明品を植木鉢（７）の外に置くときは、吸水紐（４）が露出されるので、露出した部分から水が蒸発したり藻がついたりすることがあるから、その露出した吸水紐（４）の部分に、自在に曲がる弾力性を持った遮光性のある管を被せた方がいい。
（ハ）吸水紐（４）を埋めるには、まず水入れ容器（２）の中程まで土を入れ、その上に吸水紐（４）を張り巡らせ、更にその上に土を載せれば楽である。
（ニ）水入れ容器（２）の大小は貯水量に影響するので、補水時間も変わってくる。
（ホ）蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）に水を入れる。蓋（１）付き水入れ容器（２）内の水は、吸水紐（４）を伝って植木鉢（７）内の土（８）の中に入り、植物（９）に水を供給する。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) Open small holes (3) at a plurality of locations in the upper part of the wall surface of the water container (2) with a lid (1). The position of the small hole (3) is preferably as high as possible in order to increase the amount of water to be stored, because water does not accumulate above the small hole (3). The diameter of the small hole (3) should be about 15mm.
(B) A water-absorbing string (4) utilizing capillary action for watering is passed through each small hole (3), and one end (5) of the water-absorbing string (4) is attached to the water container (2) with a lid (1). The other part (6) of the water absorption string (4) is buried in the soil (8) of the flower pot (7). The length of the water absorption string (4) starts from the inner bottom of the water container (2), passes through the small hole (3), enters the flower pot (7), and can be shallow or deep, but soil ( 8) It is necessary to have a length that allows the water to spread evenly.
(C) The thickness of the water absorption string (4) varies depending on the amount of soil in the flowerpot and the amount of water required depending on the plant to be planted. A thick string may be a thin string for plants that require less soil and require less water. A string having a diameter of about 3 mm to 10 mm is appropriately used.
The material of the water absorbent string (4) is preferably acrylic or the like experimentally.
(D) Cover the lid (1) so that dust does not enter the water container (2).
The present invention is configured as described above.
When actually using this,
(I) Since the algae are generated when the water in the water container (2) with lid (1) is exposed to sunlight, the water container (2) with lid (1) is made of a light-shielding material. Is good. If it is made of a non-light-blocking material, it is better to apply a light-blocking tape or to apply a light-blocking paint.
(B) The product of the present invention may be used by being buried in the soil (8) in the flower pot (7), or may be placed outside the flower pot (7). -See Fig. 2b-
When the product of the present invention is buried in the soil (8) in the flower pot (7), it is better to bury the small hole (3) to a position below the surface of the soil (8). When the small hole (3) is above the surface of the soil (8), the water absorption string (4) is exposed, and water may evaporate or algae may adhere from the exposed portion.
When the product of the present invention is placed outside the flower pot (7), the water absorbing string (4) is exposed, so water may evaporate or algae may be attached to the exposed part. It is better to cover the part (4) with a light-shielding tube with the flexibility to bend freely.
(C) To fill the absorbent string (4), first put the soil to the middle of the water container (2), place the absorbent string (4) on it, and place the soil on it. It is.
(D) Since the size of the water container (2) affects the amount of stored water, the water replenishment time will also change.
(E) Put water into a water container (2) with a lid (1). The water in the water container (2) with the lid (1) passes through the water absorption string (4) and enters the soil (8) in the flower pot (7) to supply water to the plant (9).
