Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for enlarging a plant planted in a planting container and a planting unit.

Various planting containers have conventionally been proposed for planting containers. However, for example, when the roots of a plant planted in a planting container become full, the work of adding pots for repotting can be done more efficiently, at a lower cost, and with a higher degree of freedom. It can be said that there are no tools for adding pots.

In addition, more and more people are using plants for decorating stores and enjoying them for home gardening, and methods using flowerbeds, planters, hangings, and the like are used for such decorations. However, with a general planting container, a new planting container must be prepared when re-potting, and the original planting container becomes an obstacle. There are problems such as clogging, root rot, and fading, and decoration with pots, planters, etc., which limits the range of arrangements and variations.

In addition, it can be said that there is a demand for a planting container with a high degree of freedom that matches the space in which the planting container is to be placed, and a technique that facilitates decoration using fashionable plants full of individuality.

Therefore, various techniques have been conventionally proposed. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technology entitled "Flower Hanging Bag and Flower Hanging Set", which is a well-known technology (see Patent Literature 1). Specifically, "windows are formed in the front part of the bottomed bag by cross-shaped cuts, etc., and it is stable when hung from the edge of the eaves or hung from a trellis. Moreover, as the flowering plant grows, the exposed pouch itself gradually becomes hidden, so that it is possible to maintain the naturalness without much of an artificial feeling, and the handleability is greatly improved." be. However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 does not solve the above problem.

In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a technology entitled "unit gardening rack", which is a well-known technology (see Patent Document 2). Specifically, "multiple types of strip-shaped poles having bases for self-supporting grounding and different lengths, and vertical dimensions equal to the lengths of these multiple types of strip-shaped poles and width dimensions A plurality of types of hanging grid panels, all of which are formed to have the same size, protrude from the insertion grooves and engaging portions formed on both sides of the strip-shaped pole and both lateral sides of the hanging grid panel. A plurality of kinds of self-supporting gardening racks with different shapes can be assembled in a vertical plane through the insertion engagement means with the projecting piece." However, the invention described in Patent Document 2 does not solve the above problem.

The inventor of the present invention has already obtained a patent for a technique titled "storage unit for multiple purposes" in Patent Document 3 (see Patent Document 3). Specifically, "the whole is constituted by a structural flexible member made of a substantially sheet-shaped material having flexibility, and the opening entrance is composed of a structural flexible member divided into two or more at the opening entrance, The upper side of the lower sheet is longer or looser than the upper sheet facing portion, so that the opening can be opened without being easily closed. Even if pressure is applied from the back surface of the flexible member depending on the object, since the opening state of the opening entrance portion can be maintained, the stored objects having different lengths can be stored, and the stored objects can be easily taken in and out, It made it possible to freely adjust the storage space and storage position.” However, the invention described in Patent Document 3 has a configuration in which a tubular member is inserted through the hole,
In terms of issues and structures, we should also pursue issues such as wider application, range of use, solution of issues, simpler or more diverse members and structures, and development of more advanced members, structures, and their manufacturing methods. I can say.

Hereinafter, the potting unit 1 according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
However, the shapes, arrangement configurations, etc. shown in the drawings are merely representative examples, and can be changed within the range in which the characteristic effects of the present invention can be exhibited. The configurations illustrated are applicable in each other example configuration of each other drawing.

FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of a potting unit 1 according to the present invention.
The planting container 13 of the configuration example of FIG. 1(a) is an example of a planting container 13 having a substantially quadrangular prism-like tubular shape. The planting opening 9, which is the opening of the planting container 13, is extended upward from the planting container 13 having the configuration shown in FIG. It is possible and useful to increase the capacity of the planting container 14 in which the roots 35 of the planted plant S and the culture substrate 34 are housed.

That is, since the planting container 14 can be enlarged, there is no need to prepare a new planting container 13 by, for example, increasing the size of the planting container. That is, the planting container 13 is filled with the roots 35 of the foliage plant S planted in the planting container 13, and the potting operation is performed so that the roots 35 of the foliage plant S do not rot. is required, and generally, it is necessary to prepare a slightly larger planting container 13 and replant the plant S by the potting work, but according to the configuration of the present invention, Without preparing a new pot, the planting container 13 in which the plant S is planted is used as it is, and by increasing the volume of the planting container 13, the roots 35 of the plant S have ample space. It is a configuration that can be upgraded to a planting container 13 with a large circumference, which is useful.

Moreover, when the planting container 13 is placed on concrete or asphalt in the summer by the potting member 3, the potting unit 1 having the planting opening 9 wider than the planting opening 9 of the planting container 13 is used. By doing so, the potting member 3 plays a role of a collar for reducing the amount of radiant heat from concrete or asphalt in the summer that directly hits the plant S, and the radiant heat makes the plant S It is useful because it has a configuration that can prevent S from being damaged. It has the effect of weakening the influence of radiant heat on the plant S, and is useful.

In addition, the height of the existing planting container and the width and size of the planting space can be freely set according to the desired planting space.

By adopting a configuration including such a potting member 3, it is unnecessary to uselessly discard the existing planting container 13, and it is possible to reduce the amount of waste from an environmental point of view, which is useful.

The potting member 3 having the structure shown in FIG. 1(b) consists of four trapezoidal plate-like potting members 3 each having the structure shown in FIG. By inserting into each side of the planting opening 9 of the planting container 13 of the example of (1) and bringing the non-parallel sides of the four trapezoids into approximate contact with each other, the four trapezoidal plates for potting By using the member 3 to form the truncated pyramid cylinder 41, which is a substantially inverted truncated square pyramid shaped cylinder, the configuration of FIG. 1(b) is formed. As in the example, this is an example of a configuration in which the opening area of the planting opening 9 can be widened while increasing the height of the planting opening 9 .

In addition, four potting members 3 are combined so that the non-parallel opposing sides of the trapezoid in the configuration example of FIG. At this time, the planting container 13 is provided with the potting member 3 at the inclination angle 32 in a state closer to the vertical, and the frustum cylinder 41 constituted by the potting member 3 is also more , the pot-enhancing cylinder 2 is close to a rectangular parallelepiped cylinder, and the opposite sides of the trapezoid, which are not parallel, have a wider angle, the four pot-enhancing members 3 are combined. In this case, the planting container 13 is provided with the potting member 3 at the tilt angle 32 in the lying state, which is closer to the horizontal, and the planting opening 9 spreads further. It is.

In addition, since the potting member 3 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, even if the planting container 13 has a different length of the side of the opening of the planting opening 9 of the planting container 13, the trapezoidal shape can be obtained. With respect to the length of the width between the connecting sides 31 that are non-parallel sides, the potting member 3 is just fitted into the planting opening 9 at an appropriate length. 3 can be provided, various sizes of the planting container 13 can be accommodated, and the degree of freedom is high, which is useful.
