DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flower clock.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Flowers are ground-planted in an inclined flower bed, an hour hand driving device is provided in the flower, and a short hand, a long hand and a second hand are moved above the head of the flower.

Further, in the invention of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-114651, an inverted trapezoidal bottomed cylindrical inner wall having a shorter length than the outer wall is provided inside the outer wall of the bottomed cylinder to close the upper portion of the outer wall. This forms a continuous water reservoir surrounded by the outer wall and the inner wall.The water inlet is provided on the upper part of one outer wall, and the cap is tightly fitted.The water injection pipe is inserted into the cap and one end of the pillar water pipe is connected to the bottom of the water reservoir. 2. Description of the Related Art There is an automatic watering device for flower pots, which has its ends facing the upper part of the inner wall and drain holes provided at the bottoms of the outer wall and the inner wall.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] It cannot be installed unless there is an open space with soil, and since flowers are ground-planted in the soil, once the flower clock is installed, it cannot be easily moved to another place.

Further, in order to change the design to change the flower itself to a large variety, it requires a laborious transplanting work, further requires an operator for irrigation and fertilization, and depending on the place where the flower clock is installed. Is difficult to irrigate and fertilize.

Further, in the device according to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-114651, the air inside the container repeatedly expands and contracts according to the temperature difference around the container, and the water inside is planted in the inner wall through the water injection pipe by the siphon principle. The plant is only filled with water periodically, and it is not immediately applicable to the flower clock according to the present invention.

[0007]

A casing is erected in the center of a water tank, an hour hand drive device is provided in the casing, and a short hand, a long hand and a second hand are fixed to the upward protruding end of a hollow drive shaft. The second hand is hollow, and a plurality of nozzles are bored to communicate with the drive shaft, and the downward projecting end of the drive shaft is rotatably connected to a water pipe connected to the submersible pump, and extends over the water tank and the casing. By connecting the connecting members in a radial manner and fixing a large number of pot mounting devices on the connecting members, a flower clock can be easily constructed in an appropriate open space, and can also be easily disassembled for automatic irrigation and fertilization. The purpose is to

[0008]

[Operation] Place the pot in which the desired flower is planted on the pot placing tool at the closest position where the upper end of the flower does not hinder the rotation of the hour hand, and water or liquid fertilizer is irrigated to each pot flower from the nozzle provided in the second hand Fertilize.

Each of the above-mentioned members constituting the flower clock is disassembled and constructed in another place.

Excess irrigation water is stored in a pool and is circulated by a submersible pump for watering.

[0011]

EXAMPLE As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the example of the present invention divides a thinned wood cut into an appropriate length into two vertically divided parts,
The outer wall 1 is formed by joining the pieces of wood in a circular shape with the vertically split surface inside, and the pool 2 is fitted into the outer wall 1 to form a water tank.

A cylindrical casing 3 is erected at the center of the pool 2, an hour hand drive device 4 is provided in the cylindrical casing 3 and is fixed by a push screw 5, and a hollow drive shaft 4a has a short hand 6 and a long hand 7 at its upward protruding end. The second hand 8 and the second hand 8 are fixed to each other, and the downward projecting end of the drive shaft 4a is rotatably connected to a water pipe 10 communicating with the submersible pump 9.

A nozzle 8a is bored in the second hand 8 which rotates the fastest, and water is sprayed from the nozzle 8a through the hollow second hand 8 and the hollow drive shaft 4a.

A connecting member 11 made of a straight pipe is radially arranged and each tip is fixed by a fitting 12 fixed to an inner wall of the outer wall 1, and a base end is fixed to a cylindrical casing 3 to mount a pedestal. 13 is formed, the connecting member 11 and the cylindrical casing 3 are fixed, and the pot mount 14 is fixed to a desired position of the connecting member 11 to mount a large number of pots 15.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pot holder 14 is a seat member 1 having a U-shaped metal fitting in which an arc is recessed in the lower end surface of the open leg.
6 and two holding members 17 in which a strip-shaped metal plate is bent in a substantially U shape are combined in the horizontal portion of the straddle member 16 in a cross shape, and a through hole 17a communicating with both members is provided to provide the straddle member 16 A through hole 16a placed on the straddle member 16
And the through hole 17a are communicated with each other, the U bolt 18 is inserted, and the U-bolt 18 is integrally fixed with a nut to form the pot mounting tool 14
Is attached to the connecting member 11.

In order to raise the height of the pot 15, a seating member 19 having a high seat height is formed as shown in FIG. 4, and
The holding member 17 is raised by using the U-bolt 20 having a long leg rod while providing the through hole 19a.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pedestal 13 can be easily assembled in an appropriate open space to easily construct the flower clock having the hour hand drive device 4 and the hour hand.

Further, dismantling is easy when relocating to another place.

The flower design can be easily changed by planting and decorating the pot 15 with flowers for each of the four seasons and mounting the pot 15 on the desired pot holder 14.

The submersible pump 9 is used for fertilization work of irrigation or liquid fertilizer.
The operation can be performed automatically and uniformly from the nozzle 8a of the second hand 8 without manpower, and when water is stored in the pool 2, a flower clock can be constructed even in a place without a water supply facility.

Further, since the height of the flower planted in the pot 18 can be raised to the extent that the rotation of the short hand 6 is not blocked,
No sense of separation from the hour hand, creating a sense of unity.
