Description

  The present invention relates to an inner for a hanging bowl.

As shown in FIG. 10, a hanging basin provided with a hook part 110, a hanging tool 100 provided with a hanging part 120, and an inner 200 formed of a non-woven mat of coconut fiber layered on the inner side of the hook part 110. (Hanging basket) 300 is marketed (Non-patent Document 1).
That is, in the hanging pot 300, since the inner 200 is simply formed by forming a non-woven mat made of coconut fiber into a bowl shape, the hanging pot 300 is excellent in air permeability and surplus water supplied to the soil in the inner 200 is applied to the wall surface of the inner 200. Since it passes through easily, there is an advantage that a plant planted in the inner 200 hardly causes root rot.
In addition, since the inner 200 is formed of coconut fiber which is a natural fiber, the inner 200 can be well matched with the planted plant, can be excellent in the decoration of the garden and the room, and is also environmentally friendly. Easy.
Because it is made of coconut fiber with excellent water permeability, excess water supplied to the soil during watering passes through the gaps in the coconut fiber and drains to the outside, causing planted flowers to rot. There is no problem.

  However, since the inner is not only water permeable, but also has excellent air permeability, depending on the weather and the location of the hanging basin, the soil will dry quickly, and there is a problem that it must be frequently watered. is there.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an inner of a hanging pot that can reduce the frequency of watering without impairing the advantages of natural fibers and can also prevent root rot.

  In order to achieve the above object, the inner part of the hanging bowl according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the inner of the present invention”) has a water-permeable outer layer having a container shape with an upper opening made of at least natural fibers. A water-permeable inner layer having a container shape with an upper opening made of at least natural fibers, and an upper part made of a non-water-permeable material, provided between the outer layer and the inner layer, and having a water drainage hole at the bottom. It is characterized by comprising an intermediate layer in the shape of an open container.

  In the present invention, the drain hole is not particularly limited as long as the water supplied into the inner can be drained to such an extent that root rot does not occur, and is appropriately determined depending on the size of the inner. It is preferable to provide it at a height of 15 mm or less.

The inner of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the upper end edge of the intermediate layer is lower than the upper end edges of the outer layer and the inner layer, and is the same height as the soil filling height into the preset inner. preferable.
That is, when the soil is placed above the upper end edge of the intermediate layer, the soil above the upper end edge of the intermediate layer can easily come into contact with the air that has passed through the outer layer and the inner layer.

On the other hand, the upper edge of the intermediate layer may be made to substantially coincide with the upper edge of the outer layer and the inner layer, but generally the soil is 70% to the height from the bottom of the inner layer to the upper edge of the outer layer and the inner layer. It is preferred to fill to a height of 90%, preferably 70% to 80%.
Accordingly, the filling height of the soil is set to 70% to 90%, preferably 70% to 80%, of the height from the bottom of the inner to the upper edge of the outer layer and the inner layer.

In the present invention, examples of the natural fiber material used for the outer layer and the inner layer include coconut palm, palm, jute, bamboo, kenaf, and the like, and coconut palm fibers that can use waste materials generated during the production of coconut milk. It is preferable because it is inexpensive and naturally friendly.
Further, as the outer layer and the inner layer, for example, the above-mentioned natural fiber nonwoven fabric is used.
As the nonwoven fabric, fibers entangled only with a needle punch may be used, or entangled portions may be bonded via a binder to the extent that water permeability is not impaired.

  In the present invention, the water-impermeable material constituting the intermediate layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include thermoplastic resin films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polylactic acid, and polyethylene terephthalate.

Further, if the intermediate layer is held between the inner layer and the outer layer, it is not necessary to be bonded to the outer layer and the inner layer, but the outer layer and the inner layer are connected to the intermediate layer through a binder or by heat fusion. It is preferable to join via.
That is, the intermediate layer can prevent the natural fibers constituting the outer layer and the inner layer from being scattered, and can be cut freely according to the size of a basket or the like that receives the inner or cut into a desired position of the inner to produce a plant. Can be grown through these cuts, and planting with higher design can be performed.

  In the present invention, the shape of the inner is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a substantially bowl, a substantially conical shape, a substantially pyramid shape, a semi-cylindrical shape, and the like, and may have a box shape with a flat bottom. .

In the present invention, the drain hole may be one or two or more as long as it is provided at the bottom, that is, at the lowest part of the intermediate layer. Moreover, in the inner where a bottom is flat, it is preferable to provide in the bottom center.
The thickness of the intermediate layer is not particularly limited as long as water does not permeate other than the drain hole, but it is preferable that the thickness of the intermediate layer is as long as the necessary strength is obtained in consideration of flexibility of the inner and workability such as cutting.

In the present invention, the inner layer and the outer layer may be in contact with each other at the drain hole.
The diameter of the drain holes and the number of holes are not particularly limited. For example, when 500 ml of water is poured directly into the inner (not filled with soil, the inner is empty), the drainage from the inner It is preferably set to be completed within 1 minute to 10 minutes, and preferably completed within 1 minute 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
That is, if it is less than 1 minute, the water permeation rate is too high, and excessive water may be used when water is supplied until the soil in the inner layer is sufficiently wet.
Further, if the drainage time is too long, root rot may occur.
In addition, that the said drainage is completed means the state where the water drop did not fall for 1 minute or more.

  As described above, the inner of the present invention has a water-permeable outer layer having a container shape with an upper opening made of at least natural fibers, and has a container shape with a water-permeable upper opening made of at least natural fibers. The inner layer is made of a water-impermeable material, and is provided between the outer layer and the inner layer, and includes an intermediate layer in the shape of a container having an upper opening in which a drain hole is formed in the bottom portion. Have

That is, since the intermediate layer is provided with a drain hole at the bottom, even if water is excessively poured into the soil in the inner and the water is once accumulated in the inner, the excess water is then passed through the drain hole. And discharged outside the inner.
Therefore, root rot can be prevented.

Moreover, since the intermediate layer is formed of a water-impermeable material, the soil in the inner is in a state of being isolated from the outside except for the gaps between the planted plants and the drain holes.
Therefore, since the soil can be maintained for a long time in a state with appropriate moisture, the frequency of watering can be reduced.
