  The present invention has a wall-surface planting mat that has a pocket that can store soil or the like for cultivating a plant on a wall or a fence, and realizes greening of the wall surface by cultivating the plant in the pocket. Etc.

  In recent years, rooftop greening and wall greening have been performed from the viewpoint of heat island countermeasures and landscape improvement. In the conventional wall greening, a vine plant is placed on a wall surface, or a plant is dropped along the wall surface from the upper part of the wall surface. In addition, a technique has been proposed in which plants are planted in a predetermined planting case in advance, and these planting cases are fitted into a frame or the like provided on the wall surface to make a wall greening panel.

  However, when plants are made to hang or hang down on the wall surface, the plants that can be used are limited, so that various designs cannot be applied to the wall surface. In the case of a wall greening panel, plants that originally grow in the vertical direction are laid down in the horizontal direction, which may adversely affect the natural growth of the plant. Unlike the case where it grows naturally, it gives an unnatural impression. Furthermore, the construction using the wall greening panel is not easy and may result in high costs.

  Then, the following things are proposed as a technique which can be planted in a state close to the original growth condition and can be easily greened on the wall surface. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a plant in which a double woven portion surrounded by a single woven portion is locally disposed, and a piece of this double woven portion is opened into a pocket shape. It is an invention for wall surface greening by suspending a planting cloth on the wall surface.

  However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to say that the single woven portion and the double woven portion are arranged in a lattice shape, so that it cannot be easily manufactured, and there is anxiety in terms of strength. In addition, since the pockets for growing plants are limited to a certain size, there is a problem that it is difficult to grow plants of various sizes and it is difficult to realize various planting designs.

  Then, in this invention, the wall surface planting mat shown below is provided in view of the said subject. That is, as a first aspect of the invention, the wall surface has an overlapping portion that can be folded so that the back surfaces of some of the sheets overlap each other, and a pocket is formed by further overlapping the overlapping portion on the surface of the other portion of the sheet Provide a planting mat.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. In addition, this invention should not be limited to these embodiments at all, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof.

The first embodiment mainly relates to claim 1 and the like. The second embodiment mainly relates to claim 2 and the like. The third embodiment mainly relates to claim 3 and the like. The fourth embodiment mainly relates to claim 4 and the like. The fifth embodiment mainly relates to claims 5 and 6.
<Embodiment 1>
<Summary of Embodiment 1>

The outline of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The left figure of FIG. 1 is the figure which looked at the wall surface planting mat of this embodiment from the front. Moreover, the figure on the right is a view of the wall surface planting mat as viewed from the side. A plurality of pockets (0102) are formed in the wall surface planting mat (0101), and plants (0103) can be planted in these pockets. This pocket is formed by overlapping and folding a part of the sheet which is a material of the wall-surface planting mat. Since the pocket is formed by one sheet, it is much less likely that the bottom of the pocket falls out compared to the case where a pocket is formed by sewing or joining a plurality of cloths. In addition, the pockets become more durable by overlapping and folding the sheets. In addition, since it is formed of a moderately flexible sheet, it can bend according to the amount of soil stored, so that it can contain enough soil for plant growth, etc. A room for growth is secured. Wall surface greening can be realized by attaching this wall surface planting mat to the wall surface.
<Configuration of Embodiment 1>

  The wall-surface planting mat of the present embodiment has an overlapping portion that can be folded so that the backs of some of the sheets overlap each other, and a pocket is formed by further overlapping the overlapping portion on the surface of another portion of the sheet. The

  The structure of the wall surface planting mat of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.2 (a) shows the sheet | seat which is a material of a wall surface planting mat. This sheet has a front surface (0201) and a back surface (0202). As shown in FIG. 2B, the overlapping portion (0203) is formed by overlapping and folding the back surfaces (0202) of a part of the sheet. Then, as shown in FIG. 2C, the overlapping portion is further overlapped on the surface of the other portion of the sheet. Furthermore, a pocket (0206) that opens upward is formed by joining the two vertical side portions (0204, 0205) of the overlapping portion to the overlapping surface. In addition, the surface of the other part of a sheet | seat is surfaces other than the surface contained in an overlap part.

  Thus, since the pocket is formed by folding one sheet, the possibility that the bottom will come off is reduced as compared with the case where the pocket is formed by sewing different cloths together. In addition, since the overlapping portion has a double sheet, there is an effect of increasing the pocket strength accordingly.

  The joining may be performed by sewing, or may be performed by an adhesive or a stapler. The thread and needle used are preferably strong and excellent in corrosion resistance.

  The bottom part of the pocket, that is, the part (0207) folded to overlap the back surfaces may or may not be joined to the surface of the other part. When joined, the pocket can be formed more robustly. Further, when not joined, the mat becomes easier to bend, which is preferable when planting a plant having the property of spreading branches and leaves or when it is desired to decorate a wall surface three-dimensionally.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a wall surface planting mat in which various pockets are formed. In the prior art, it was necessary to prepare a cloth according to the depth of the pocket for planting in advance, but in the wall surface planting mat (0301) of the present embodiment, the formation of the overlapping portion is adjusted. Thus, it is possible to easily form large and small pockets. First, a pocket (0302) having an arbitrary depth can be easily formed by adjusting the folding width (0304). Further, one pocket can be divided into a plurality of pockets at an arbitrary position by joining (0305) in a vertical line shape at an arbitrary position in the horizontal direction (0303). Thus, according to the planting design, a pocket of an arbitrary size can be easily provided at an arbitrary position.

  The material of the sheet is not particularly limited. As a characteristic, a strong material having a good balance between water retention and drainage, corrosion resistance, and high pulling strength is preferable. For example, a nonwoven fabric having a relatively large thickness is preferable as the material of the sheet. The material, thickness, and the like can be appropriately determined according to various conditions such as the size of the entire mat, the type of plant to be planted, and the amount of soil stored in the pocket.

  The characteristics required for the sheet are various as described above. It may not be easy to adjust the characteristics to suitable conditions with a single sheet. In that case, the sheet may have a multilayer structure depending on required characteristics. For example, on the surface that comes into contact with soil and plants, select a material with excellent water retention, drainage, and corrosion resistance, select a material with high pulling strength on the back side, and stack them together to form a two-layer structure. By doing so, the conditions required for the mat can be satisfied more easily.

  In order to attach the wall surface planting mat to the wall surface, for example, a hole for suspending the mat may be attached to the upper end of the mat, and the wall planting mat may be suspended by hooks, nails, bolts, hooks, or the like. Further, the mat may be adhered to the wall surface. Or after attaching to the frame etc. according to the magnitude | size of mat | matte, you may make it fix the frame etc. to a wall surface. The mat can be attached as appropriate according to various conditions such as the structure of the wall surface.

You may provide an automatic watering means in a wall surface planting mat. For example, a drip tube or the like may be provided in the vicinity of the opening of the pocket so that the water supply pump or the like can be controlled to perform irrigation in an appropriate amount in a timely manner. Providing such irrigation means is preferable because watering at high places can be performed safely and reliably.
<Embodiment 1 effect>

The wall surface planting mat according to the present embodiment can provide a wall surface planting mat that can realize various planting designs using various plants with a simple and durable structure. Since the bottom of the pocket hardly occurs, it is safe, and even if the side of the pocket is disconnected, dirt or sand in the pocket does not directly hit the lower pocket so that it goes from the upper to the lower It is possible to reduce the occurrence of chain collapse.
<Embodiment 2>
<Overview of Embodiment 2>

In the wall surface planting mat according to the first embodiment, the present embodiment is a multilayer structure of sheets constituting the mat. Wall planting mats are required to have various properties such as water retention, drainage, flexibility, corrosion resistance, and pulling strength. Requiring these for one sheet may narrow the material selection range. Then, it becomes possible to provide easily the wall-surface planting mat which is excellent in various characteristics by using a sheet | seat according to the characteristic and using a multilayer structure. Here, a wall-surface planting mat having a two-layer structure with a sheet having a relatively high water retention and a sheet having a relatively high pulling strength will be described.
<Embodiment 2 configuration>

  The wall surface planting mat of the present embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, and the sheet has at least a two-layer structure of a front side cloth having a relatively high water retention and a back side cloth having a relatively high pulling strength. The left figure of FIG. 4 is a figure which shows the cross section of the sheet | seat of this embodiment. The sheet (0401) has a two-layer structure of a front side cloth (0402) and a back side cloth (0403). The right figure of FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a pocket portion. As shown in the drawing, the bag portion (0404) on the inner side of the pocket is constituted by the front side cloth that is folded. “Relatively” means that in a sheet having a two-layer structure or a multilayer structure, a sheet of one layer is compared with a sheet of another layer. That is, the front side fabric has higher water retention than the back side fabric, and the back side fabric has higher pulling strength than the front side fabric.

  A cloth having relatively high water retention is used as the front cloth. As described above, the front cloth constitutes the inside of the pocket and stores soil for growing plants. That is, it has a great influence on the plant cultivation environment. Therefore, it is desirable that the front cloth has water retention, which is a characteristic for maintaining a favorable cultivation environment. In addition, the wall-surface planting mat accommodates soil and plants in a pocket, and is hung or fixed on the wall surface. Therefore, it is particularly required that the pulling strength is high. Therefore, a cloth with relatively high pulling strength is used as the back side cloth. By making these into a two-layer structure, it becomes easy to set it as the wall surface planting mat which is excellent in both characteristics.

  For the front side fabric with high water retention, for example, a non-woven fabric made of synthetic fibers used for civil engineering construction such as harbors and landfills is preferable. Nonwoven fabrics used for these applications are manufactured for the purpose of preventing suction and scouring, and have relatively high water retention and moderate drainage. In addition, it has a characteristic that it is difficult to tear even if it is stretched.

  As the backside cloth having high pulling strength, for example, a sheet for building curing, a truck sheet, a field stacking sheet, or the like can be used. The thickness can be appropriately selected according to the size of the mat and the type and amount of the plant to be cultivated. For example, a thickness of about # 2500 to # 4000 can provide sufficient pulling strength.

In addition, when making a sheet | seat multilayer structure, it is not restricted to two layers, Three layers or four layers may be sufficient. Moreover, the cloth of each layer which comprises them can be suitably selected according to various conditions, such as the kind of plant, the kind of soil, climatic conditions, such as the sunlight of a setting place, and ventilation, and can comprise it in combination.
<Embodiment 2 effect>

By making a plurality of sheets into a multilayer structure with the wall surface planting mat of the present embodiment, a wall surface planting mat having water retention and pulling strength suitable for the use conditions of the mat can be easily realized.

  The wall surface planting mat of the present embodiment is based on the second embodiment, and the pocket is configured by stitching, and the front side cloth and the back side cloth are configured so that they do not shift by stitching to form the pocket. ing.

  The conceptual diagram of the wall surface planting mat of this embodiment is shown in FIG. The wall-surface planting mat (0501) forms a pocket (0503) by further overlapping the overlapping portion (0502). Then, the left and right ends of the pocket are sewn in the vertical direction with the overlapped portion overlapped (0504).

FIG. 5C is a conceptual diagram showing a cross section of the pocket portion. The overlap portion (0503) is overlapped on the surface of the other portion of the sheet, and this is stitched together (0504) to form a pocket. Further, by sewing together in this way, the front side cloth and the back side cloth constituting the sheet are prevented from shifting. In FIG. 5B, both end portions in the lateral direction of the pocket are sewn in the vertical direction, but the sewn in the vertical direction may be further extended to the entire sheet. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the pockets are formed and the front side cloth and the back side cloth are formed at once by one stitching (0504) process without cutting the thread from the top (0505) to the bottom (0506) of the sheet. Can be integrated. As described above, the front side cloth and the back side cloth are less likely to be displaced in the entire sheet by a simple process, and a reinforcing effect by the back side cloth is further obtained. The thread for sewing is not particularly limited, and synthetic fibers and natural fibers can be used, and if they are durable, they are more preferable in terms of durability.

<Embodiment 5>
<Overview of Embodiment 5>

This embodiment implement | achieves a planting wall surface, ie, the wall surface which gave planting, by attaching a wall surface planting mat to a wall surface. By using the wall-planting mat, you can plant various plants in your pocket. By attaching this wall-planting mat to the wall, you can easily apply various planting designs on the wall. It becomes.
<Embodiment 5 configuration>

  The planting wall surface of this embodiment consists of the wall surface which provided the protrusion, and the wall surface planting mat of Embodiment 4 latched to a wall surface by this protrusion. By providing a protrusion on the wall surface and locking the wall surface planting mat on the wall surface, it becomes possible to easily realize greening of the wall surface.

  The planting wall may be formed by locking a single wall planting mat according to the size of the wall, or by locking a plurality of wall planting mats. May be. For example, in the case where the wall surface of a large building such as a factory or a building is used as a planting wall surface, it is not realistic to use a single wall planting mat as a planting wall surface in terms of work efficiency and cost. Absent. Therefore, a plurality of wall-surface planting mats having a predetermined size are used as the planting wall surface according to the area of the wall surface. Hereinafter, a planting wall surface is demonstrated using a specific example.

  FIG. 10 shows the entire wall surface planting mat shown in FIG. As shown, the size is about 1000 mm in the horizontal direction and about 3800 mm in the vertical direction. A plurality of the wall surface planting mats are used according to the size of the wall surface to be constructed as one unit.

  FIG. 11 shows a frame for making a planting wall surface using five of the wall surface planting mats. In the figure, the vertical frame of the frame corresponds to the base plate described in the fourth embodiment, and a plurality of points provided there are bolts for locking the wall-surface planting mat through the eyelet and are adjacent in the vertical direction. The interval between the bolts to be performed is 250 mm. Here, by overlapping the eyelets of one mat and the eyelets of the mat adjacent thereto and engaging the bolts with the bolts, it is possible to efficiently cover the wall surface continuously with the mats.

  FIG. 12 shows a conceptual view of a cross section when two wall surface planting mats are overlapped and locked. The base plate (1201) is provided with a bolt-shaped protrusion through which the eyelet (1203) of one mat (1202) and the eyelet (1205) of the mat (1204) connected thereto are passed through. Furthermore, it fastens with a cap nut (1207) via a spring washer (1206).

  When the wall surface is larger, a frame with an increased number of base plates in the vertical frame can be installed, and a corresponding number of wall surface planting mats can be attached. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to easily cope with wall surfaces of various sizes, and it is possible to quickly realize the construction of planting wall surfaces at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, since partial repair or replacement of the planting wall surface can be easily performed, a planting wall surface that can be easily adapted to various planting designs is realized.

  The gap between the wall surface and the wall surface planting mat can be determined as appropriate. For example, in the case of attaching without removing the gap between the wall surface of the building and the planting mat, it is possible to obtain a heat insulation / heat insulation effect, and the effect of air conditioning is further enhanced. On the other hand, when these effects are not desired, for example, a gap of about 20 mm may be provided between the wall surface and the planting mat. In addition, adjustment of the clearance gap between a wall surface and a planting mat can be performed by adjusting the thickness of the base plate and frame which latch a planting mat.

In addition, the length between protrusions (bolts) for locking one wall surface planting mat in the frame shown in FIG. 11 is substantially the same as 930 mm, which is the length between eyelets. May be shorter than the length between eyelets. By reducing the pulling force applied in the lateral direction of the mat, it is possible to make the mat last longer. Moreover, since the opening of the pocket can be widened, it is possible to prepare a favorable growth environment even when growing a plant that requires a relatively large amount of soil or a plant that spreads branches and leaves.
<Embodiment 5 effects>

  The planting wall surface according to the present embodiment makes it possible to quickly implement the planting wall surface at a reasonable cost and realize a planting wall surface that can be easily adapted to various planting designs.
