[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a nursery pot storage case that is extremely effective for growing seedlings and has an optimum form for selling and displaying seedlings.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, soft seedling pots made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene are often used for cultivating seedlings. It is customary to store the seedling-growing pots in a predetermined case so that they can be cultivated and transported efficiently.

Conventionally, as such a case, a storage case as shown in FIG. 9 has been known. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an outer frame, and a plurality of openings 3 defined by ribs 2 are formed in the outer frame 1. A cylindrical support leg 4 extends downward from the peripheral edge of each opening 3, and a bottom frame 5 is provided at the lower end of the support leg 4.

In particular, as shown in the figure, the openings 3 have four rows or three rows on one side, and the seedling-growing pots can be fitted into the openings 3.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, although the above-mentioned conventional storage case has an advantage that the seedlings can be efficiently cultivated and transported, when the seedlings grow from the arranged seedling-growing pots, the seedlings become overcrowded and the ventilation is blocked. The back of the leaves became damp, and mold sometimes grew there. For this reason, the growth of seedlings was adversely affected, and especially for ornamental plants, there was a fear of causing poor sales due to poor quality.

[0006] As a means for preventing this, a method of rearranging one seedling-growing pot at a time when the seedling grows to a certain size is also adopted, but this work is very troublesome. There is a drawback in that the yield per unit area is reduced and the transportation efficiency is deteriorated as much as the open area is created in the opening.

On the other hand, most of the seedlings are displayed and sold in the state that they are still placed in the storage case. However, because of the arrangement configuration of the openings, the seedlings are placed in 3-4 rows in close proximity. , It was very difficult to take out the seedlings in the storage case, and there was a risk of damaging the seedlings in the vicinity when taking out the seedlings in the central part.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of the above circumstances, the present invention intends to store the seedling-growing pots in an optimal sales form and to make the seedlings in the seedling-growing pots grow in a suitable state. A plurality of openings defined by ribs are formed in the outer frame, support legs are extended downward from the periphery of each opening, and a bottom frame is provided at the lower ends of the support legs. The present invention provides a seedling-raising-pot storage case in which a ventilation hole is provided at a required portion of the rib.

Further, a plurality of openings defined by ribs are formed in the outer frame, support legs are extended downward from the peripheral edge of each opening, and the bottom frame is provided at the lower ends of the support legs. In the seedling raising pot storage case in which the openings are provided, the openings are arranged in two rows, and preferably slits are formed at predetermined intervals on one side surface of the outer frame parallel to the arrangement direction of the openings. The present invention also provides a seedling-growing pot storage case in which a hook for connection is projectingly provided at a position facing the slit on the other side surface.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the seedling raising pot can be fitted and arranged in the opening, and at this time, the bottom portion of the seedling raising pot is supported by the bottom frame. In particular, air flows between the nursery pots through the vents, and the ventilation prevents mold growth on the leaves of the seedlings grown from the nursery pots.

On the other hand, a large number of storage cases can be sequentially connected in one direction using the slits and hooks. In addition, with the storage cases connected, the seedlings can be efficiently cultivated and transported, and in the separated state, the openings are in two rows, making it easy to grow seedling pots from both sides. Can be taken out.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a nursery pot storage case showing the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

The storage case 10 is made of a synthetic resin mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, and is integrally formed by injection molding or the like.

Reference numeral 11 in the drawing denotes an outer frame. As shown in FIG. 1, the outer frame 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with rounded four corners, and a plurality of openings 13 defined by ribs 12 are formed therein.

As shown in the figure, the openings 13 are configured in two rows, and for example, six openings 13 are arranged in one row. In particular, each opening 13 has a substantially square shape with rounded four corners, and its peripheral edge has two pairs of facing surfaces 13a and 13b, which are composed of the inner surface of the outer frame 11 and the side surfaces of the ribs 12. ing. Further, two support legs 14 are respectively provided to extend downward from the facing surfaces 13a and 13b so as to be tapered. The supporting leg 14 has a streak shape as illustrated in order to reduce the material cost and the weight, but it may have a funnel-shaped tapered surface.

On the other hand, a bottom frame 15 as shown is provided at the lower end of the support leg 14. The bottom frame 15 has a lattice shape in which a cross-shaped crosspiece 15b is provided in an octagonal frame 15a. The bottom frame 15 may have a circular plate shape, for example, but in this case, it is desirable to open a drainage hole so that draining can be performed.

By the way, in FIG. 1, 16 is a vent, 17 is a slit, and 18 is a hook. As shown in the drawing, the ventilation hole 16 is opened at a predetermined portion of the rib 12, especially at an intersection of the rib 12. On the other hand, the slits 17 are formed at a predetermined interval on one side surface 11a of the outer frame 11 parallel to the arrangement direction of the openings 13, and the hooks 18 are provided on the other side surface 11b so as to face the slit 17. . In addition, although the ventilation port 16 can promote the ventilation of the seedlings by the natural flow of air, it is also possible to force the ventilation through an air hose or the like.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. As is clear from this figure, a protrusion 12a is hung around the back of the rib 12 so as to surround the vent 16, and the protrusion 12a compensates for the decrease in strength due to the opening of the vent 16. . On the other hand, the slit 17 is open at the lower end of the side surface 11a of the outer frame 11 and communicates with a fitting groove 19 formed on the back side of the side surface 11a, and the hook 18 is provided at the tip of the neck portion 18a with a hook portion 18b. It is formed in a T-shape having. The slit 17 and the hook 18 are used to connect to another storage case.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hook 18 of the adjacent storage case 10 ′ is inserted into the slit 17, and at this time, the slit 17 and the neck portion 18 a of the hook 18 are fitted to each other, and the fitting groove 19 is also fitted. And the hook portion 18b of the hook 18 are fitted so that the storage cases 10 and 10 'are connected to each other.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the two storage cases 10 and 10 'are connected. In this state, the seedlings can be efficiently cultivated and transported, and conversely, in the separated state, the seedlings can be displayed and sold in the optimum form. That is, since the openings 13 are in two rows in the separated state, the edges of the seedling-growing pot P fitted into the openings 13 can be easily picked from the left and right sides without being disturbed by the seedlings. Therefore, when the nursery pot P is taken in and out when selecting seedlings, the seedlings are not damaged.

The seedling-growing pot P is a soft container made of a synthetic resin mainly composed of polyethylene, has a taper shape that tapers downward as shown in FIG. 6, and has a circular bottom e with a drainage port. R is open.

Next, FIG. 7 shows a state in which the storage cases 10 are stacked. As shown in the figure, the storage cases 10 can be stacked in multiple layers with the seedling raising pots P fitted in the openings 13. Then, the storage case 10 can be sequentially taken out from the upper stage side and set in the earthing machine as it is to fill each seedling-growing pot P with soil.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. As another aspect, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a hook 28 having an L-shaped cross section is projected on the side surface 11a of the outer frame 11, and in particular, The hook 28 may be fitted into the outer frame 11 of the other storage case 10 'so that the storage cases 10 and 10' can be connected to each other.

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, since the rib that defines the opening is provided with the vent hole, it is possible to promote the ventilation of the seedling grown from the seedling-growing pot through the vent hole, so that the mold of the seedling leaves is moldy. Can be prevented from breeding. Therefore, the seedlings can be grown under suitable conditions, which in turn enables the cultivation of high quality seedlings.

On the other hand, by forming the openings for arranging the seedling-growing pots in two rows, the seedling-growing pots can be easily taken in and out from both sides of the arrayed openings. Therefore, even if the seedlings are growing from the seedling raising pot, the seedling raising pot can be taken in and out without damaging the seedlings.

Since the slits and hooks are provided on the side surface of the outer frame, the slits and hooks can be used to connect the storage cases to each other, so that the seedlings can be efficiently cultivated and transported. The effect of being able to do is obtained.
