[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention utilizes empty plastic bottles, especially used plastic bottles, and combines them with bark such as cedar and cypress. It is related to ornamental flower pots that can create a natural atmosphere by planting conifers and placing them indoors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 At present, plastic containers for drinking water and the like, so-called PET bottles, are used in large quantities, and when used PET bottles are discarded or incinerated as garbage, this poses a problem in terms of environmental health. Therefore, various measures have been taken to collect and reuse this. For example, attempts have been made to dissolve this to produce fiber and then sew it into clothing, but the products obtained by such a method are expensive and, therefore, used PET bottles can be used as they are. Or it is desired to use it with simple processing.

As one of them, for example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3023605 proposes to use a waste plastic bottle for a cultivation container (flowerpot) suitable for growing flowers and the like. In other words, this cultivation container has a configuration in which an empty transparent plastic bottle is cut up and down at the middle part, the upper half having a small hole in the upper funnel is turned upside down, and inserted into the lower half. I have. However, plants are planted with soil in the upper half of the above container, but because the container itself is transparent, root rot occurs due to the rapid rise in temperature of the pot soil due to sunshine, and pots due to cold weather The soil freezes. Furthermore, when placed indoors, there is a problem that the pot soil can be seen directly and the appearance may be impaired.

In the case of ornamental potting, the appearance of the pot is also important. Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 58-1252 discloses a flowerpot that gives a sense of nature using natural trees. In other words, in this flowerpot, a natural tree with bark attached is cut into a circle, and the tree is cut into a circular shape from the tip of the tree at an appropriate depth to form a planting part. It has a structure with a drain hole at the bottom. However, although this flowerpot expresses a natural feeling, it is necessary to cut out the planting portion and the gap at the bottom, which requires considerable time and effort to perform this processing, and also provides such a flowerpot. It is necessary to cut down natural trees, which is not good for protecting the natural environment.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In view of the circumstances described above, the present invention makes it possible to recycle waste products that help protect the natural environment, and covers empty PET bottles, especially used PET bottles, with bark. An object of the present invention is to easily provide a flower pot suitable for ornamental potting that creates a natural atmosphere with a fragrance.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration as a gist. (1) The lower half of an empty PET bottle was cut into an inner container for containing culture soil, a plurality of small holes were drilled at the bottom of the inner container, and the outer periphery of the inner container was covered with bark. An ornamental flowerpot, wherein the covered bark is wound and fixed using a rope. (2) The lower half of an empty PET bottle is cut into an inner container for storing culture soil, a plurality of small holes are drilled at the bottom of the container, and a small bag for storing fragrance is provided on the peripheral wall. An ornamental flower pot characterized by covering the outer periphery with bark and winding and fixing the coated bark using a rope. (3) It is preferable to use a conifer scent as the fragrance, and (4) it is preferable to use cedar bark or cypress bark as the coated bark, and to use a rope for the rope. Furthermore, in the present invention, a permeable mat can be laid at the bottom of the inner container.

[0007] The used PET bottles can be used, and the bark of cedar or cypress can be used as bark peeled from trees cut down for materials such as architecture, and both are discarded. Reuse things. In the present invention, such an empty PET bottle is used as an inner container, the bark is wrapped around the inner container, and fixed with a rope, etc., so as to exhibit the appearance of a flower pot formed of a natural tree. In addition, by using the natural essential oil extracted from conifers such as cedars and cypresses in accordance with the wrapped bark, that is, the fragrance of conifer, in addition to the fragrance stored in the small bag attached to the inner container, Combined with the characteristics of the plant to be planted, the surroundings where this is set can have a natural atmosphere.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. The present invention utilizes an empty plastic bottle 1 as shown in FIG. There are various types of pet bottles of about 1.5 to 5 liters which are commercially available, and can be used by collecting used waste at home or office. It is preferable that the length between the sides is 10 cm or more. This is cut up and down and divided into an upper half 2 and a lower half 3. The upper half 2 can be used as a watering can by opening a small hole 6 in the upper surface 5 of the lid 4 as an accessory of the present invention as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower half 3 is used as an inner container 7 of a flower pot, and is cut into a height of about 10 cm or more without limitation. Drain holes 9 are made as shown in FIG. In addition, a gas permeable mat 12 is provided at the bottom of the container as shown in FIG. A small bag 11 is attached to the peripheral wall 10 of the inner container 7 to store a fragrance, for example, a fragrance that emits a scent of a conifer as described above.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the outer periphery of the inner container 7 is covered with a cedar bark 13. The cedar bark 13 can be used as a material for building or the like, and can be used a waste product peeled off from a cut tree body. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be hinoki bark or other bark, and the method of coating is not limited. The covered bark 13 is fixed by winding a rope or a string at appropriate intervals. A metal wire may be used in place of the rope or the string, but a narrow rope is preferred because it does not damage the bark and does not impair the natural atmosphere. FIG. 6 shows an example of a flower pot 14 wound with a rope.

[0010] As described above, the present invention can provide a natural log-like flowerpot by coating a PET bottle with bark, and by wrapping the bark in a transparent PET bottle, it is possible to obtain sunlight. Preventing the root rot of the planting caused by the sudden rise in the temperature of the potted soil and the freezing of the potted soil due to the cold, setting the scent of the conifer and placing the potted plant with the conifer in the room as if it were natural It can create a scented forest atmosphere, which is good for the environment and health.

In addition, the bowl of the present invention may be provided with a gas permeable mat at the bottom thereof and fixed thereto, thereby preventing insects such as crevices from entering from the bottom hole of the inner container, and being hotter and colder than the bottom. Is not easily transmitted, and the roots of the plant trees can be protected. In addition, the plastic bottles and bark of the present invention enable the reuse of waste products that are no longer needed, and are therefore economically and environmentally and hygienic. Furthermore, since the upper half of the PET bottle can be used as a watering can or as an accessory of the present invention for burying, the PET bottle can be completely reused.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As explained above, even if a conifer is planted or other ornamental plants are planted, the present invention creates a natural environment that is extremely favorable for the environment and health, and eliminates unnecessary waste such as pet bottles and bark. It is possible to provide a flower pot that can be reused and is economically advantageous.
