Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

In order to solve the above problems, the storage furniture with a planter of the present invention is:
A planter having a bottomed container shape having an upper opening, a flange projecting laterally at the periphery of the upper opening, and a plant and a contained medium for holding or growing the container in the container shape, ,
The planter has an upper opening end surface on which the flange of the planter is seated, and has a cylindrical or box-like shape in which the entire container-like planter is immersed in the upper part, and a space below the bottom of the planter is a predetermined space. A storage section for storing articles, and a main body in which an opening for storing and taking out articles from the storage section is opened or closed by a front plate,
Only the flange where the planter is immersed in the upper part of the main body and is seated on the upper opening end surface of the main body appears outside, and the planar outer shape of the flange and the cross-sectional outer shape of the main body correspond to each other. It is characterized by that.

  The above-mentioned storage furniture with a planter has a flange projecting to the side at the periphery of the upper opening of the planter, and the upper part of the main body has an upper opening end surface on which the flange is seated, so that the cylindrical or box-shaped main body Even if the planter is immersed in the planter, the planter is securely fixed to the main body. In addition, when the planter is immersed, the planar outer shape of the flange and the cross-sectional outer shape of the main body are made to correspond to each other, so the appearance can be made simple and simple, and the main body and the planter can be integrated. It gives the impression that it has become, and is excellent in terms of design.

  Moreover, in the main body, a space below the bottom of the planter serves as a storage portion. For example, when installed in a kitchen or the like, articles such as cooking utensils can be stored. Furthermore, since the opening of the storage unit is configured to be opened or closed by the front plate, the article can be visually recognized from the outside if the storage unit is closed after the article is stored in the storage unit. Absent.

  Further, according to the present invention, the outer periphery of the upper end forming the upper opening end surface of the main body is a band-shaped portion having an outer shape that is similarly reduced with respect to the cross-sectional outer shape of the main body. An annular shoulder surface is formed at the boundary with the upper outer periphery, and when the flange of the planter is seated on the upper opening end surface of the upper end outer peripheral portion of the main body, the flange is on the side from the strip-shaped portion of the reduced outer shape of the main body. By projecting in the opposite direction and facing the shoulder surface of the main body, an annular groove having the belt-like portion as a groove bottom is formed between the flange and the shoulder surface. It is good also as a structure made into the slit which can take out a planter from the said main body.

  In this way, after taking out the planter, it can be lifted and moved, so it is easy to replace the contained medium and plants, and when installed indoors, only the planter can be taken outdoors to remove the plant. It can be exposed to sunlight or the planter can be washed. Further, when the front plate is an opening / closing door, for example, the user's finger can be put into the slit to open the opening / closing door.

  Further, the present invention provides a light for illuminating or growing a plant held by the planter at a certain distance from the upper opening of the planter where the flange is seated on the upper opening end surface of the main body. The light irradiation unit includes a planar light emitting unit that can cover the upper opening area of the planter, and a support substrate unit that supports the planar light emitting unit. The planar outer shape of the substrate portion may be the same as or similar to the planar outer shape of the planter, and the support substrate may be fixed to the main body or another member.

  In this way, when the present invention is used indoors, the light irradiating unit can light up the plant for viewing, while the plant can be grown even in a room where sunlight does not reach. it can. Furthermore, since the planar external shape of the support substrate portion included in the light irradiation unit is the same or similar to the planar external shape of the planter, it is not necessary to secure an extra space for the light irradiation unit, which is limited. In addition to being able to be installed in a small space, the overall sense of unity is improved and a design effect can be obtained.

  In addition, the present invention includes a stay that extends upward from at least the upper end rear portion of the main body and is connected to the rear end portion of the support substrate portion in order to fix the support substrate portion of the light irradiation unit to the main body. The light irradiation unit is fixed to the main body by a stay, and the light irradiation unit and the flange of the planter are opposed in parallel in a front view, and at least forward and left and right between the light irradiation unit and the flange of the planter. It is good also as a structure which the open space produces.

  According to this, since a space opened at least forward and left and right is generated between the light irradiation part and the flange of the planter, the planter can be easily taken out using the space. Moreover, even if the planter is immersed in the main body, it becomes easy to supply water to the plants in the planter or to perform cultivation work such as harvesting (collecting) if the plants are leaves such as herbs.

  Further, according to the present invention, a support substrate portion of the light irradiation unit facing the upper opening of the planter and a stay extending in the vertical direction along the back surface of the main body to the vicinity of the lower end of the main body as a whole in a side view. An inverted L-shaped stand may be configured, and the light irradiation unit may be supported in a state of being lifted from the upper opening of the planter by fixing the stand to the rear portion of the main body in the stay.

  According to this, the light irradiation part can be provided without significantly increasing the installation space of the main body, and the light irradiation part is supported in a state of being lifted from the upper opening of the planter. Irradiation with light can improve the growth effect.

  Further, the present invention may be configured to include a leg portion that seats the lower end of the main body and supports the main body by lifting the main body from the floor surface.

  In this way, the main body can be lifted from the floor surface by the legs, so that dust on the floor surface is less likely to adhere to the main body, and the lower part of the main body can be easily cleaned. Furthermore, if the leg is a movable caster, the installation location can be freely changed.

  In addition, the present invention provides a support substrate portion of the light irradiation unit facing the upper opening of the planter, a stay extending up and down along the rear surface of the main body to the leg portion, and a front end from the lower end of the stay. The lower extension extending at a right angle forms a U-shaped stand as a whole in a side view, and the stand is fixed to the main body at the stay, and is fixed to the inner surface of the leg at the lower extension. By doing so, the light irradiation unit may be supported in a state of being lifted from the upper opening of the planter.

  If it does in this way, since a stand is fixed to a main part with a stay and a lower extension part, it will fix more certainly. Moreover, since a lower extension part is hidden in the inner surface of a leg part, an external shape can be shown more simply and the design aesthetics also improve.

  Further, the present invention provides that the storage furniture with a planter is installed in the installation space of a larger composite storage furniture having an installation space in which one or a plurality of installation furniture is installed, and the upper opening of the planter and the composite A fixed interval is secured between the lower surface of the downward space that defines the upper limit of the installation space of the storage furniture, and the light irradiation unit is provided on the lower surface of the composite storage furniture in parallel with the upper opening of the planter. The light irradiating portion includes a planar light emitting portion that can cover an upper opening area of the planter, and the support plate portion that supports the planar light emitting portion, and the supporting substrate portion is the composite storage furniture. It is good also as a structure fixed to the space lower surface.

  According to this, since this invention can be combined with a larger composite storage furniture, installation with a high degree of freedom is possible according to the user's application. In addition, in the built-in state, a certain distance is secured between the upper opening of the planter and the lower surface of the downward space that defines the upper limit of the installation space of the composite storage furniture, so that the planter can be taken out, supplied with water, Cultivation work such as harvesting can be performed easily. Moreover, since the support substrate part of a light irradiation part is fixed to the space lower surface of composite storage furniture, light can be efficiently irradiated with respect to a plant and the raising effect increases.

  Further, the present invention is such that the planar outer shape of the flange of the planter, the cross-sectional outer shape of the main body and the planar outer shape of the leg portion correspond to each other, and the outer peripheral portion of the lower end closest to the lower end surface of the main body is A band-shaped portion having an outer shape reduced in size similar to the cross-sectional shape of the main body, and an annular lower shoulder surface is formed at a boundary between the band-shaped portion and a lower outer periphery of the main body. When the lower end is seated on the leg portion, an annular groove or a partial ring having the belt-like portion as a groove bottom may be formed between the leg portion and the lower shoulder surface.

  In this way, even if the leg portion is provided, the annular groove can give the user an impression that the main body is lifted, and a simple external accent can be obtained.
