DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flowerpot mounted on a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, highways in Japan, roads in cities and municipalities are being improved nationwide, and it is expected that the roads will continue to increase in the future. If a road is to be created by cutting out particularly rugged terrain or mountainous areas, cut the green to form a slope and spray concrete or mortar on that part to form a concrete retaining wall. Often do.

[0003]

The shaving of green for forming a road to form a concrete retaining wall as in the prior art, as described above, is a serious destruction of nature and impairs the scenery. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a flower pot that can be attached to a concrete retaining wall surface in order to restore a natural green environment as much as possible.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a flexible plastic material to form a bottomed box having an upper surface opened by a side plate and a bottom plate.
A flange is provided on the wall-mounting side of the side plate forming the bottomed box, and a partition plate that partitions the inside up and down inside the bottomed box is provided, and a part excluding the wall-mounting side with the side plate located above the partition plate and By opening a plurality of small-diameter holes in the partition plate, the upper portion from the partition plate is configured as a tank for storing vegetation base material, and the lower portion from the partition plate is configured as a water refill tank for storing rainwater. .

[0005]

According to the present invention, since a soft plastic is used as a material for forming a flowerpot for a wall, the flexibility follows a concrete wall having unevenness, and the resin can be easily attached to the wall.

In the vegetation base material tank formed above the partition plate as a boundary, a plurality of small-diameter holes are formed in the side plate forming the tank. Ventilate and drain excess water. On the other hand, excess water is dropped through a plurality of holes opened in the partition plate into a water refill tank provided thereunder, and the water is stored in the water refill tank. The water stored in the water tank is supplied to the vegetation base material when the amount of rainfall is insufficient, so that the vegetated green is maintained.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view in which a part of a flowerpot for a wall according to the present invention is broken, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing a state where the flowerpot for a wall is attached to a wall.

In the flowerpot A for a wall of the present invention, the wall 9 of the concrete to be attached is often uneven, so that the flowerpot A for the wall is formed so that it can be attached corresponding to the unevenness. The material used is a plastic having flexibility, for example, an olefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or a vinyl chloride resin or a urethane resin.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
Is a box body with an upper divergent shape opened to the upper surface by the side plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The size is about 1.0m horizontally and about 0.5m vertically when viewed from the front, the upper opening is about 1.0m x about 0.3m, and the bottom plate is about 1.0m x about 0.1m.
5 m.

[0010] A wall 9 is provided on one side of the side wall of the flowerpot A for the wall.
There is provided a flange 3 having eight mounting holes 6 for mounting on a flange. Further, the upper end of the flange 3 is formed obliquely so that rainwater transmitted to the wall surface can easily flow into the inside of the box.

Inside the bottomed box, there is provided a partition plate 4 for partitioning the inside up and down. A portion above the partition plate 4 is placed in a tank 11 for storing vegetation base material, and a portion below the partition plate 4 is placed in a tank 11 for storing vegetation base material. It is formed in a water tank 10 for storing water.

The partition plate 4 and the side plate 1 located above the partition plate 4 (excluding the wall-mounting side) have a diameter of 2 to 2.
A plurality of small-diameter holes 5a and 5b each having a diameter of about 4 mm are opened, and excess water that has permeated the vegetation base material due to rainfall is dropped through the holes 5b formed in the partition plate 4 and stored in the water refill tank 10. Excess water that cannot be stored in the water tank 10 is discharged to the outside through a hole 5a formed in the side plate. The hole 5a formed in the side plate 1 has a function of aerating the vegetation base material in addition to water.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the case where the wall-mounted flowerpot A of the present invention is used by attaching it to the wall surface 9 will be described. When mounting the wall-mounted flower pot A on the wall surface 9, holes 8 for hole-in anchor bolts were previously drilled in the wall surface 9 by a drill or the like corresponding to the positions of the eight mounting holes 6 drilled in the flange 3. Thereafter, the flange 3 is fastened to the wall surface 9 with the hole-in anchor bolt 7.

When mounting the flowerpot A for the wall surface on the wall surface 9, the material for forming the flowerpot A for the wall surface is flexible even if the wall surface 9 has irregularities. Also, the work of attaching the wall-mounted flower pot A can be sufficiently performed by two persons.

When vegetation is to be planted in the flowerpot A for the wall, a vegetation base material is put into the upper box body from the partition plate 4, and
Seed the seeds by sowing a wide variety of seeds. As the type of plant to be vegetated, a type such as ivy that is as resistant to water withering as possible is preferable.

Water supply for vegetation is dependent only on rainwater. Rainwater is supplied from a portion opened above the flowerpot A for the wall surface during rainfall, and from the portion where the upper end of the flange 3 is formed obliquely. The rainwater flowing down the wall surface 9 is caused to flow into the vegetation section so that even a little water is taken into the flower pot A for the wall surface.

When the amount of rainfall is large, excessive rainwater that has penetrated the vegetation base material is dropped and stored in the water tank 10 through the hole 5b formed in the partition plate 4, but overflows from the water tank 10. Excess water is discharged to the outside through a hole 5a formed in the side plate 1. In addition, since the holes 5a can appropriately ventilate the vegetation base material, the vegetation base material can always maintain a favorable environment on vegetation and prevent root rot of plants.

When the amount of rainfall is small and the supply of water is insufficient in summer or the like, the water stored in the water refill tank 10 is appropriately supplied to the vegetation base material through the hole 5b of the partition plate 4. By doing so, the green vegetation can be maintained.

The size and shape of the flower pot A for the wall surface differ depending on the inclination of the wall surface 9 or the conditions of the mounting environment, and are not limited to the dimensions shown in this embodiment. Also, holes 5 formed in the partition plate and the side plate
The sizes of a and 5b are minimum necessary for passing water and air. If the size is too large, the vegetation base material is too dry, and if it is too small, the vegetation base material is clogged and the flow of water and air is poor. However, the conditions are different depending on the vegetation base material and the type of vegetation to be planted, and are not limited to the numerical values shown in this embodiment.

The shape of the flowerpot A for the wall surface is variously changed without departing from the technical idea described in the claims, for example, as shown in FIG. be able to.

[0021]

As described above, in the flowerpot for a wall according to the present invention, a water reserving tank is continuously provided below the vegetation base material to store rainwater. Vegetable green can be maintained by water replenishment. Then, by attaching the flowerpot for a wall surface to a concrete slope on the side of a road on which green is shaved, green can be restored to the wall surface and the natural environment can be improved.
