DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant for cultivation mounted on a cultivation container, which makes it possible to easily construct a greenhouse or a sunshade, etc., for a plant cultivated in the cultivation container without damaging the plant as much as possible. It relates to a holder. The present invention also relates to a greenhouse and a sunshade configured using the plant holder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an example of a conventional greenhouse which can be easily configured for plants cultivated in a cultivation container, those shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are provided. The greenhouse a shown in FIG. 9 uses a plurality of support frame members b formed by bending a single wire in an inverted U-shape, and the lower end portion d of the support portion c is used as the cultivation soil f of the cultivation container e. The box-shaped planting frame body i is formed by pushing in and making the upper sides g, g of the support frame members b, b intersect with each other and binding their abutting parts h.
The planting frame i was covered with a covering material j (indicated by a dashed line in the figure) such as a polyethylene sheet or a vinyl chloride sheet.

A greenhouse a shown in FIG. 10 has an inverted U-shaped support frame member b arranged in parallel at an interval, and a lower end portion d of the support portion c is cultivated in a cultivation container e. f, and the connecting frame member k is arranged so as to connect the upper ends thereof, and the upper side m of the support frame member b and the connecting frame member k are connected to each other.
By doing so, a box-shaped planting frame i was formed, and the planting frame i was covered with the covering material j (indicated by a dashed line in the figure).

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional greenhouse, the lower end portion d of the support c is pushed into the cultivation soil f of the cultivation container e. The size of the cultivation container that can be used must be fixed, and there is no flexibility in the size of the cultivation container that can be used.

When the conventional greenhouse is used, the lower end d of the column c is pushed into the cultivation soil of the cultivation container, so that the column c is slightly expanded so that it expands upward and outward. By standing upright, the width of the upper part n of the greenhouse could be expanded somewhat. However, since the width of the lower part p of the greenhouse was at most about the width of the cultivation container, the covering material j was likely to come into contact with the leaves and flowers spreading outside the cultivation container. Therefore, the leaves and flowers in contact are in a state where the surface is constantly covered with dew condensation water,
It was difficult to breathe and it was easy to wither. Especially when the contact area is large, the whole plant may wither.

As described above, the fact that the width of the upper part n of the greenhouse is increased is advantageous in the case of a tall plant because the covering material j is less likely to come into contact with the plant. However, when cultivating a plant that is popular in recent years and is short and tends to spread or hang down, the covering material contacts the plant over a large area because the width of the lower part p of the greenhouse is small. This caused the plants to die easily.

[0007] The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems. In addition to being able to absorb the difference in the size of the cultivation container within a certain range, the present invention is directed to plants that tend to spread outside the cultivation container. It is another object of the present invention to provide a planting holder that is attached to a cultivation container and that enables a greenhouse or the like to be configured without damaging them as much as possible. It is another object of the present invention to provide a greenhouse using the plant holder and a shade using the plant holder.

[0037]

The present invention has the following excellent effects. When using the plant holder according to the present invention, since the amount of outward projection of the arm member can be changed, when forming a greenhouse or a shade for plants cultivated in a cultivation container, a flat surface Even when using a planting frame having a constant visual size, by adjusting the amount of protrusion of the arm member as necessary, the size of the cultivation container in a certain range can be adjusted by the arm. It can be absorbed by adjusting the amount of protrusion of the member. Therefore, when using the holder for planting according to the present invention, an advantage that a planting frame having a constant size in plan view can be used for a plurality of types of cultivation containers having different sizes in plan view. There is.

[0038] With the planting holder according to the present invention, a planting frame for a greenhouse or a sunshade can be held in a state that the planting projecting part protrudes outside the cultivation container as required. Therefore, even if it is a short plant that spreads and hangs outside the cultivation container,
It is possible to prevent the covering material from coming into contact with the plant as much as possible, and it is unlikely to cause a problem of withering the plant. Therefore, according to the present invention, a plant can be protected to constitute a greenhouse or a shade.

When the planting holder has an outer holding piece and an inner holding piece that can elastically hold the upper edge portion of the cultivation container from inside and outside, the mounting is performed between the holding pieces. Stabilization can be achieved by elastically holding the upper edge portion of the cultivation container and placing the connecting portions at the upper ends of both holding pieces on the upper surface of the cultivation container. Thereby, the weight of the planting frame can be stably supported by the cultivation container via the planting holder. In addition, the mounting of the plant holder can be easily performed by one-touch operation.

When the outer side portion of the arm member and the upper end side portion of the outer holding piece are connected by a hanging piece, and the arm member is rotatable around the upper end of the hanging piece,
Since a part of the weight of the planting frame is borne by the hanging pieces, the stability of the arm member in the holding state can be ensured even when the arm member is thin.
