JP2013236567A - New production form of moss ball - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that: a plant planted in a moss ball cannot be replaced; watering requires a laborious, time-consuming method of dipping it for a certain period of time in a water-filled container large enough to accommodate the moss ball; water may be collected on the lower surface of the moss ball and causes mustiness when the moss ball is put in a saucer; and moss on the lower surface may be crushed and damaged.SOLUTION: A cup with a hole is embedded on the upper surface of a moss ball and a plant is planted in it. This enables the plant to be planted later or replaced, and watering from above. With a support made to jut out of the moss ball to make the moss ball float in air, no water will be collected on the lower surface of the moss ball, and this makes it less musty and keeps moss on the lower surface of the moss ball from damage.

Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in the production form of moss balls.

  The moss balls used in the prior art are those in which the roots of plants to be planted in moss balls are circled with moss ball soil and the surface of the soil is covered with moss.

  Therefore, even if you want to replant moss balls to other plants for some reason, it is difficult to replant, and if market demand changes, you must recreate moss balls themselves from the beginning did.

  Also, if you try to water the roots of the planted plants, the soil is covered with moss, so if you pour water from above, the moss will splash water, so most of the water will soak into the moss balls not. In this way, it was not possible to give water to the roots of plants by simply applying water from above, which is a common watering method.

  Therefore, the conventional watering method is to prepare a vessel large enough to contain moss balls, fill it with water, and sink the moss balls into the water. It takes time and effort to leave the moss balls for a certain period of time until the water is sufficiently stained, and then to remove the moss balls from the water when the water is sufficiently stained in the moss balls. It was.

  Then, after watering the moss balls, place them on a plate and display them for viewing. Over time, the water supplied to the moss balls collects on the bottom surface of the moss balls by gravity. Moisture oozes out on the plate and accumulates in the contact area between the moss balls and the plate.

  As a result, the moss on the lower surface of the moss balls that is in contact with the dish is damaged by compression, steaming, lack of oxygen, and lack of sunlight. In addition, roots of roots of vegetation may develop due to steaming or lack of oxygen.

  The problem to be solved is a structure in which vegetation cannot be replanted after producing moss balls, and is a time-consuming and time-consuming watering method, such as pain on the underside of moss balls and root decay of plants.

  The present invention enables replanting of vegetation after producing moss balls, enabling watering by a general method of applying water, and preventing pain and root rot on the underside of moss balls The main feature is that a cup with a hole in the upper surface of the moss ball is embedded and plants are planted in the cup, and the entire moss ball is supported in the air with a support.

  By burying a cup with a hole in the upper part of the moss ball and planting the plant in the cup, it is possible to replant the plant arbitrarily. Moreover, since it can be divided into soil for moss balls and soil for vegetation, the most suitable soil can be used for each.

  By producing a lot of moss balls that are filled with a cup with a hole in advance, you can plant plants and plants according to market demand and seasons later, so flexible moss ball production and shipping can be done It becomes possible.

  Water can soak into the soil in the cup just by pouring water from the top of the moss ball, and water can also be soaked into the soil outside from the hole of the cup to give water to the entire moss ball.

  Also, by supporting the whole moss ball in the air with a support, the lower surface does not hurt and water does not stay, and the air passes better.

2 is an exploded view in Example 1. FIG. 1 is a perspective view in Example 1. FIG. 1 is a top view in Example 1. FIG. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 in FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view in Example 2. 6 is a top view in Example 2. FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows the 12-12 line of FIG.

  A new form was realized by embedding a cup in a moss ball and lifting it into the air with a support.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded view showing the structure of a moss ball. The cup 2 has a hole 3 in it. The moss ball 4 is produced by embedding the cup 2 in the hole 5. At that time, the mouth of the cup 2 is viewed from the upper surface of the moss ball 4. Plant 1 with plant soil 6 in the cup 2.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the first embodiment made as described above.

  FIG. 3 is a top view of the first embodiment. In the middle of the moss ball 4, you can see the mouth of the cup 2, the plant 1 planted in it, and the soil 6 for the plant.

  4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 of FIG.

  As can be seen from FIG. 4, the moss ball soil 8 and the plant soil 6 are separated by a cup 2. Therefore, replanting of the plant 1 can be easily performed by replacing only the inside of the cup 2.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the soil 6 for vegetation is exposed on the upper surface of the moss balls 4. For this reason, watering can be applied directly to the soil 6 for plants by a general method of pouring water from above, and the water can permeate downward and spread the water to the roots of the plants 1.

  The water that has penetrated into the soil 6 for plants and trees penetrates the entire soil 8 for moss balls through the holes 3 formed in the cup 2.

  The characteristic of Example 1 is shown. Since the soil 6 for vegetation and the soil 8 for moss balls are separated, it is possible to use different soils for each. There is a target. Moreover, by taking out the plant 1 and the soil 6 for the plant from the cup 2, the plant 1 can be replanted without breaking the moss balls 4. In addition, just by embedding the cup 2 in the moss ball 4 and making the cup 2 empty in advance, it is possible to plant plants that suit the occasion later. Watering is a very common method, and it is only necessary to pour water from the top, and water can permeate the whole moss balls without trouble.

  5, 6 and 7 are explanatory views of the second embodiment. Parts having the same configurations as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the second embodiment. The moss balls 4 have the same internal structure as that shown in FIG. Below the column 10, there is a foot 11 for making the whole stand independently.

  FIG. 6 is a top view of the second embodiment. In the middle of the moss ball 4, you can see the mouth of the cup 2, the plant 1 planted in it, and the soil 6 for the plant.

  FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line 12-12 of FIG.

  As can be seen from FIG. 7, moss ball soil 8 and vegetation soil 6 are separated by cup 2. Therefore, replanting of the plant 1 can be easily performed by replacing only the inside of the cup 2.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the soil 6 for vegetation is exposed on the upper surface of the moss balls 4. For this reason, watering can be applied directly to the soil 6 for plants by a general method of pouring water from above, and the water can permeate downward and spread the water to the roots of the plants 1.

  The water that has penetrated into the soil 6 for plants and trees penetrates the entire soil 8 for moss balls through the holes 3 formed in the cup 2.

  The water that has permeated the entire moss balls 4 evaporates into the air through the moss 9. Further, since the moss balls 4 float in the air on the support pillars 10, excessively supplied water is discharged to the outside of the moss balls 4 through the support pillars 10, so that water does not stay in the moss balls 4.

  The characteristic of Example 2 is shown. First, the second embodiment has the same characteristics as the first embodiment. In addition, since the moss balls 4 are floating in the air by the pillars 10 on the lower surface of the moss balls 4, excess water is discharged outside and does not stay. Since the entire moss balls 4 are in contact with the air, the air is sufficiently supplied to the inside of the moss balls 4 and there is an effect of preventing steaming and root rot. Further, the moss on the lower surface of the moss balls 4 can be kept beautiful without being crushed.

  Just embed a cup and cultivate moss balls that are not planted in them and vegetation for planting moss balls separately and plant them in moss balls according to market trends and seasonal demands You can change plants quickly and ship products that are on the market quickly.
