Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a soil retaining tool that is installed on the ground or the like to form a boundary.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, many bottles were buried upside down and laid side by side to form boundaries such as flower beds. However, it is difficult to obtain many of the same materials, they are easily damaged, and it is hard to say that they are aesthetically superior.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide an aesthetically superior earth retaining tool by utilizing plastic waste.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention integrates a plurality of unit bodies 11a ... Having an arbitrary outer shape, and provides a hollow portion 12 in all or a part of each unit body 11a. By providing the bottom 14 in the hollow portion, a pot structure is provided, and the whole is formed of plastic waste.

【Example】

 The earth retaining tool 10 according to the present invention is based on a structure in which a plurality of unit bodies 11a having an arbitrary outer shape are integrated. FIG. 1 shows an example thereof, and this earth retaining tool is an integrated body of three unit bodies 11a, 11b, 11c formed in a cylindrical shape, and the inside of each unit body 11a, 11b, 11c is It is a hollow portion 12, and has a structure in which a bottom 14 having a drainage hole 13 is provided at a position slightly apart from the lower end of each hollow portion 12 (see FIG. 4).

FIG. 2 shows the number of unit bodies 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d and 11e increased and the size is large. Each unit body itself is formed in a cylindrical shape as in the case of FIG. However, the form of the unit body does not have to be a simple cylinder. For example, any shape such as a cylindrical shape, a square cylinder or a prism shape, or an indefinite shape can be used.

By providing the hollow portion 12 in such a unit body 11a ... And providing the bottom 14 having the drainage hole 13 as described above, a pot structure usable as a flower pot is provided. The lower surface 15 of the earth retaining tool 10 in which a plurality of units 11a ... Are integrated is flat in the illustrated example. However, the lower surface 15 may also be formed in a concavo-convex shape so that the height of the upper surface of the soil retaining tool 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is different. The upper surface 16 of the hollow portion 12 may be closed.

Further, a hue and a pattern 17 such as the skin of a tree can be formed on the outer surface of each unit 11a. The pattern 17 is not limited to a bark, but a bark pattern is preferable because it gives a simple and calm feeling, and is suitable for edging of flower beds, for example.

The earth retaining tool 10 as described above is formed by plastically processing a plastic waste material with a mold. The plastic waste for this purpose must, of course, be one that has thermoplasticity that allows it to be molded when crushed and applied to a molding machine, but not all need to be so that there is no adverse effect on molding and the molded product is Foreign matter may be mixed as long as the structural strength of the soil retaining tool is satisfied.

The soil retaining tool according to the present invention is fixed on the ground so as to form a boundary such as a flower bed, and by burying the lower surface 15 in the soil. The inside of the hollow portion 12 can be used as a flower pot for flowers and the like, and in that case, decorativeness slightly different from that of a simple boundary block can be obtained. The earth retaining tool may be placed on a veranda or the like.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, it is possible to effectively use plastic waste and provide a durable earth retaining tool, and the unit bodies 11a ... Since it can be used as, it has an excellent effect not only as a border but also as a decoration.
