[Prior art]

 Flowers and trees are suitable for appreciation. However, it is becoming difficult to preserve the environment in modern society, especially in the surrounding areas of cities, due to the destruction of nature caused by the construction of buildings and the expansion of factories, and it is common to appreciate plants and trees in their natural state.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in general, conventional flower pots, especially large flower pots, were generally fixed in one place for viewing. One of the reasons is that it is difficult to move the flowerpot due to its weight, especially in the case of a large flowerpot. The movement of flowerpots was even more difficult for people with weak muscles, such as the elderly and the physically handicapped. Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the problems listed below, and as a result, the flowerpot according to the present invention will bring great benefits not only to the general individual but also to the pot plant industry. Expected to bring.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are: Conventional flower pots, especially large flower pots, are very difficult to move with the ornamental plants planted, and therefore their movement requires a lot of energy. This is a particular problem for children, women, the elderly, and the physically challenged. 2. Since it is difficult to move the flower pot, we do not leave the cleaning of the area around the flower pot. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the beautification around the flowerpot and the frequency of cleaning tends to decrease. Therefore, the polluted environment promotes the generation of mosquitoes and other pests, which is a cause of further deterioration of the environment. 3. Frequent rental appreciation plants require a great deal of time and effort to move flower pots, which leads to higher costs. 4. If sufficient space cannot be secured around the flower pot, moving a heavy flower pot requires a special power unit. 5. It is necessary to lift the flower pot to place it under the flower pot or to discard the water in the saucer. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of a flowerpot that solves the above problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned object, the present invention according to claim 1 provides: "a support integrally provided with the flowerpot on the bottom side of the flowerpot body; and a drain hole provided on the bottom surface of the flowerpot. , A pot that is installed inside the support and below the drainage hole, and includes a saucer body that is insertable and withdrawable for storing water passing through the drainage hole. ” Is.

The present invention according to claim 2 is "the flowerpot according to claim 1, wherein the support further includes casters fixed to the bottom of the support by screws." The present invention according to claim 3 is "the flowerpot according to claim 1, wherein the support further includes legs fixed to the bottom by screws."

[0007]

[Action]

 The flowerpot of the present invention according to claim 1 allows the saucer body to be installed under the flowerpot without lifting the flowerpot by the slidable saucer body, and discards the water stored in the saucer body, etc. It also makes it easier to remove the saucer. In the flowerpot of the present invention according to claim 2, it is possible to easily move the flowerpot to a desired place by a caster without lifting the flowerpot. Further, in the flowerpot of the present invention as set forth in claim 3, since the floor below the flowerpot is exposed by the legs, it is possible to easily clean the floor without lifting the flowerpot. Easy to move.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a flower pot 1 has a support 11 integrally provided on the bottom of the flower pot main body, and a central groove 12 around the bottom of the flower pot main body. A plurality of drain holes 13 provided in the base plate, and a tray body 14 that can be attached to and withdrawn by sliding the support body 11 as shown in the figure. Suitably, the central groove 12 at the bottom of the flowerpot body in which the drainage hole 13 is provided is a gentle concave surface, so that the water reaching the bottom inside the flowerpot body passes through the drainage hole 13 without stagnation at the bottom. It can be dropped onto the saucer body 14. Further, the central groove portion 12 on the bottom surface provided with the water draining hole 13 is located right above the receiving pan body 14 so as to prevent water from leaking out to the receiving pan body 14 only. Preferably, the concave surface is provided with some grooves to guide the water concentrated in the concave portion to the drain hole 13 more efficiently. The slide-type or other-type insertion and withdrawal structure of the tray 14 to the support 11 may be other than that shown. In the case of this embodiment, the support 11 and the saucer 14 can be lifted together with the flowerpot body.

Further, according to the present invention, a caster 2 of an appropriate size is screwed and attached to the bottom of the flower pot body by a plurality of (for example, three) bolt holes 15. The caster 2 used here may have a structure generally used for a shopping cart or the like, but a smaller one is usually used. The number of casters may be other than three, but it is important that the flower pot 1 can move smoothly and stably in all directions. Preferably, each caster 2 or at least one of the casters 2 is provided with an appropriate rotation stopper 21, and the flower pot 1 is fixed if necessary.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of another usage example of the flower pot of the present invention shown in FIG. The same number of fixing legs 3 as the holes are screwed into the bolt holes 15 and used when the plant pot 1 of the present invention is stably installed in one place without moving. Even in this case, the convenience of the saucer body 14 of the present invention does not change. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the flowerpot 1 of the present invention shown in FIG. One caster 2 with screws is shown. In addition, an example of the shape of the bottom surface of the flowerpot body of the present invention, particularly an example of the concave portion thereof, is clearly shown.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various improvements by referring to the present specification. The invention includes all those improvements within the scope of the claims of the present specification. Therefore, the support 11 may be separated from the flowerpot body, or the size and number of the drain holes 13 may be changed as appropriate.

[Effect of device]

 With the configuration according to claim 1, the water receiving tray can be placed or removed under the flowerpot without lifting the flowerpot, and water can be supplied to the receiving tray or unnecessary water can be supplied very easily. You can throw it away. Therefore, it has an excellent effect of reducing working hours and labor. Furthermore, since the water pan that is smaller than the bottom of the flower pot can be placed so as to be hidden inside the pot, the water pan does not protrude to the outer periphery of the bottom of the pot, which is not only excellent in appearance but also obstructs the passage of the pan. It never becomes.

Further, according to the configuration of claim 2, the flowerpot can be easily moved by the caster even in a narrow place, so that the area around the flowerpot can be easily cleaned, and further, it contributes to the beautification of the environment. Not only can it be done, but it also has the effect of making it easy to expose the plants to the sun and change the location of the plants to change the indoor layout. Further, according to the configuration of claim 3, since the floor below the flowerpot is exposed by the legs, it is possible to easily clean the floor without lifting the flowerpot, and also to move the flowerpot. The effect is that it is easy.
