Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

  The present invention relates to a pot bottom filling material for charging the bottom of a flower pot, Is made up of this filler as a lower layer, and soil is charged on it.

[0002]

[Prior art]

  There are two ways to use the flowerpot: (1) simply put the soil in the pot, and (2) the pot. There is a method of putting pumice on the bottom and putting soil on it.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  The latter method improves the drainage performance of the pot bottom when using only soil, Although it tries to prevent root rot, it has some drawbacks. Therefore, use only soil. We will examine the shortcomings when used and with pumice below.   1. The method using only soil has poor drainage performance at the bottom of the pot and causes root rot of potted plants. Easy to rub.   2. The soil-only method requires a large weight for the entire flowerpot and is large in size. , It is difficult to move.   3. When using pumice, the drainage is better than when using only soil, but some It tends to contain water, and pests such as slugs enter the flower pot.   4. With the method using pumice stone, when replanting a plant in a flowerpot, or After using the pot, separate the pumice stone for reuse or reuse. It is necessary to trace it, but the separation work is troublesome.   5. In any of the conventional methods, the roots of potted plants are easily affected by the outside temperature.

[0004]   The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The purpose of this is to connect multiple foamed resin material lumps with a connecting cord in a daisy chain. This is accomplished by providing a flowerpot bottom filling material.   The preferred shape of the foamed resin material lump is a sphere. It has a flat surface portion In the case of a prismatic block, the flat surfaces of adjacent blocks contact each other and the soil gets into the area. However, in the case of spherical lumps, such a phenomenon tends to occur. This is because such phenomena can be effectively eliminated. Also, the preferred size of the spherical mass is 1 to the diameter. It is 3 cm. If the size of the lumps is less than 1 cm in diameter, soil will be created in the gaps between adjacent lumps. It easily enters and becomes clogged, and if it exceeds 3 cm in diameter, it is difficult to apply it to small flower pots. . The foamed resin material is preferably hard, and examples of the material include a polystyrene. Ren, polyurethane, polypropylene, phenolic resin, cellulosic, polyethylene Examples thereof include ethylene.   It is also possible to add fertilizer by integral molding when foam molding the resin material into a block. It is then sufficient that fertilizer is present along the surface of the mass.

[0006]   The thin string to connect multiple foamed resin material lumps in a rosary shape is the bottom of the flowerpot. Can be incinerated so that the filling material can be easily incinerated when it is disposed of, so that it does not harm the environment. It is preferably formed of a functional organic material (eg polyamide), eg diameter It is recommended to use a fishing line of about 0.05 to 1 cm or a twisted string such as a rope. it can. To connect multiple foam resin material masses with a string, connect them with a string. The raw material resin may be foamed in a state of being installed in the molding mold. In addition, resin When molding the material integrally with the thin cord, use a sufficiently long thin cord and And repeatedly perform foam molding of the resin material using the molding mold (that is, After a plurality of lumps of foamed resin material are integrally provided on the long string, Position the thin string in the longitudinal direction, and the next set of foamed resin material lumps is integrated Repeat the work of setting), and install a large number of lumps on a long thin string and wind this on a reel. It is preferable to remove it for use. By doing this, The user of the bottom filling material of the wooden bowl may, if necessary, connect the beads with the required length from the reel. It is possible to cut and use the linear connection mass.   As an alternative method to connect multiple foamed resin material lumps with a thin string in a string , A lump with a through hole in the center is created by foam molding, and a thin string prepared separately is used. There is a method of manually passing it through the through hole of each lump.

[0007]   The plant pot bottom filling material having such a structure has one layer or a plurality of layers at the bottom of the plant pot. It can be used by arranging in a spiral shape. Arrange the pot bottom filling material in a spiral After that, insert the soil for the flower pot on it. A thin string of filler pulled from the reel If cut to an appropriate length and used, a single rosary-shaped connected mass is spirally planted. The work of arranging it at the bottom of the wooden pot is extremely easy and the work efficiency is good.   Hereinafter, a specific example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0008]
