Description

  The present invention relates to a planter.

The flowers and trees that are on the market are planted in plastic seedling pots (black cups called polypots) that are thin and soft around the roots. It is common to replant to your favorite flowerpot.
By the way, in most cases, if you hear a flower pot, the image is made of unglazed ceramics or earthenware, and an inverted frustoconical shape with an outer peripheral wall extending upward from the circular bowl bottom to the upper opening, or a square or round bowl Reminiscent of things like shapes.
On the other hand, resin-made planters that have been in the market recently have many mainstream shapes such as an inverted frustoconical shape and a bowl shape (see, for example, Patent Document 1). As for the planter colors, white, dark blue, light brown, light green, etc. occupy the majority, all of which were solid and opaque solid colors.

Therefore, when decorating this type of planter indoors, put the planter in a bucket-shaped makeup box like a sake barrel cut in half or a makeup basket knitted with natural materials such as rattan or straw, Often hide the planter.
In the case of a planter, the outer peripheral wall is made thin to reduce costs, and if you hold a part of the outer peripheral wall with one hand in a state filled with soil, it will deform easily. It was.

As described above, conventionally, when a commercially available flower or tree that has been put in a seedling pot is purchased, it has to be replanted into a flower pot or a planter, but this has been troublesome. In addition, the seedling pots left after replanting are discarded, but this sometimes results in waste of resources.
Planters are not very innovative even though there are some kinds of shapes and colors, so it is not an exaggeration to say that a dressing box or dressing box is essential to decorate the plants and plants planted indoors. There are problems such as taking up a lot of space and incurring costs when preparing a dressing box or dressing bag.

In addition, the outer wall of the planter is thin, which makes it look cheap, and as mentioned above, the strength is poor, and the outer wall is depressed or bent, causing it to feel violent. It was a result that emphasized the cheapness. In that sense, there was a need to put a planter in a dressing box or dressing box.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, has an aesthetic appearance that is novel in appearance, can eliminate the need for replanting from a seedling pot, and is structurally simple and soaring. The purpose is to provide a planter that does not invite any increase in size.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
That is, the planter according to the present invention has a bowl body having an outer peripheral wall formed so as to spread upward from the bowl bottom to the upper opening, and the outer peripheral wall slightly below the outer peripheral wall around the upper opening. Is formed on the outer peripheral surface so as to increase the outer diameter.
The bowl body with such a structure is innovative in design, and the curved surface of the outer bulge can give a gentle impression that emphasizes roundness to the viewer, so it is easy for the public to accept. is there. For this reason, it is not necessary to put this planter in a dressing box or dressing box.

The portion of the outer peripheral wall provided with the curved surface of the outer bulge is preferably formed thicker than the thickness of the other outer peripheral wall.
By doing so, a profound image can be produced. In addition, since the strength of the outer peripheral wall is increased, it is not easily dented or bent when gripped, so that cheapness can be wiped off. Further, in connection with the increase in strength of the outer peripheral wall, defects such as sink marks are less likely to occur after molding, and it can be said that the shape is suitable for molding.
The bowl body is made of transparent or colored transparent resin, and in the part of the outer peripheral wall where the curved surface of the outer bulge is provided, the material resin is made opaque in proportion to the increase in thickness. can do.

Thus, by using a transparent or colored transparent resin, the inside of the bowl can be made see-through, and the aesthetics can be improved. The colored transparency includes translucent.
The portion of the outer wall where the curved surface of the outer bulge is provided has a tendency to gradually become thicker than the thickness of the other outer peripheral wall, and the ratio of the transparency of the material resin becoming opaque However, it is not clearly divided, but is gradated, and the thickest part is opaque.

By making gradation in this way, aesthetics can be further enhanced. In addition, it is easy to manufacture and there is no failure because it is only necessary to gradually increase the thickness of the corresponding part (place to be gradation) without adopting a special painting method when gradation. effective.
The pot body can be formed with a capacity capable of completely storing the seedling pot. In this case, a support base that can support the seedling pot is projected on the inner top surface of the pot bottom, and the height of the support base is set so that the upper edge of the seedling pot is at the level of the curved surface of the outer bulge. It is preferable to form in a size that can be reached.

By doing in this way, it is only necessary to insert the purchased flowering trees into the planter together with the nursery pot. That is, the trouble of replanting becomes unnecessary. Moreover, since the upper edge of the seedling pot becomes the level of the curved surface of the outer bulge in the outer peripheral wall, the upper edge of the seedling pot is cut off from the viewing angle regardless of whether the outer peripheral wall is transparent or colored transparent. it can. There are cases where soil or moss is attached to the upper edge portion, and since it is soft and wavy and the like is a bad-looking portion, it is just good for blocking the viewing angle.
Not only that, the outer peripheral surface of the seedling pot (mostly black) can be used as the background color of the outer peripheral wall, and the heavy image that is provided in the wall thickness of the outer peripheral wall is made deeper (thickness) Can stand out.

  The planter according to the present invention has a novel appearance and can eliminate the need for replanting from a seedling pot. In addition, since it is structurally simple, it does not cause a rise or increase in size.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 4 show an embodiment of a planter 1 according to the present invention. The planter 1 is made of resin. The pot body 2 of the planter 1 has a bottom, and an outer peripheral wall 5 is formed so as to extend upward from the pot bottom 3 toward the upper opening 4. In the illustrated example, the bowl bottom 3 has a circular shape.
The pot body 2 is formed with a capacity capable of completely storing a seedling pot 6 (a black cup-shaped thing called a polypot or the like that protects commercially available flowers or tree roots) without rattling.

The bowl bottom 3 is not provided with a hole penetrating the inside and outside, so that water can be stored in the bowl bottom 3 at a predetermined water level.
A support base 10 projects from the inner upper surface of the pot bottom 3. Since this support base 10 is provided, when the seedling pot 6 is inserted into the pot body 2, the seedling pot 6 is supported in a floating floor state (a state where the seedling pot 6 is lifted from the upper surface of the pot bottom 3). . There are no particular limitations on the shape, number, and arrangement of the support base 10, and in the example shown in the drawing, the shape in plan view is three standing pieces having a trifurcated shape.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a grounding rib 11 is provided on the outer bottom surface of the bowl bottom 3. The rib 11 protrudes in a streak shape and is formed in an arc shape along the outer periphery of the bowl bottom 3. In addition, rather than enclosing the entire outer lower surface of the needle bottom 3, the dividing portion 12 is formed at least at one place (three places in the illustrated example). Since the dividing portion 12 is provided, even if a water pool is formed on the surface on which the planter 1 is to be placed, the water can be easily drained and the placement stability of the planter 1 can be improved.
The outer peripheral wall 5 is formed with an outer bulge curve surface on the outer peripheral surface so that the outer diameter of the outer peripheral wall 5 is slightly lower than the portion surrounding the upper opening 4. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameter around the bowl bottom 3 is d1, the outer diameter around the upper opening 4 is d2, and it is slightly below the upper opening 4 (d2 position), When the outer diameter of the portion where the curved surface of the outer bulge is formed as described above (hereinafter referred to as “outer curved surface portion 5a”) is d3, the relationship d1 <d2 <d3 is established.

As shown in FIG. 2, the thickness t1 of the outer curved surface portion 5a is formed to be thicker than the thickness t2 of other portions. This thickening is assumed to be the thickest at the outer curved surface portion 5a, and the thickness is gradually increased as it approaches the outer curved surface portion 5a from the bowl bottom 3. Further, the closer to the outer curved surface portion 5a from the upper opening 4, the gradual increase in thickness tends to be. Therefore, the strength of the outer peripheral wall 5 is strengthened as a whole with the curved surface portion 5a being the strongest along with this thickening tendency.
A transparent or colored transparent resin material is used as the molding material of the planter 1. Colored transparency includes translucent. The resin material contains a phosphorescent pigment.

For this reason, in the pot body 2 of the planter 1, the outer peripheral wall 5 is transparent or colored and transparent in the portion close to the pot bottom 3, but the closer to the outer curve surface portion 5a, the more proportional to the thickening tendency. Thus, the transparency gradually decreases (becomes opaque), and the outer curved surface portion 5a is completely or substantially opaque. And this gradation of gradation is proportional to the tendency to increase the thickness of the outer peripheral wall 5 as described above.
The height of the support 10 provided on the pot bottom 3 is such that when the seedling pot 6 is placed thereon, the upper edge of the seedling pot 6 reaches the level of the outer curved surface part 5a. Yes.

As is apparent from the above detailed description, the use of the planter 1 provides the following advantages.
First, since there is a grounding rib 11 on the outer bottom surface of the bowl bottom 3, it can be stably placed and is suitable for decorating indoors. In addition, the planter 1 can be fitted with the purchased flower tree together with the seedling pot 6, so that the trouble of replanting becomes unnecessary.
In addition, water is poured directly into the pot bottom 3 before fitting the seedling pot 6 or irrigated after fitting the seedling pot 6 so that water is stored in the pot body 2 at a predetermined water level. In order to infiltrate the water into the seedling pot 6 and supply water to the flowering tree, a water absorption stick 15 (see FIG. 2) is inserted into the bottom of the seedling pot 6 so that the lower end is immersed in water.

Since the outer peripheral wall 5 is provided with a curved surface of an outer bulge, it can give a gentle impression that emphasizes roundness to the viewer, and is easily accepted by the public. Further, the outer peripheral wall 5 has a thick image obtained by the outer curved surface portion 5a, and since this portion is strong and does not dent or bend when gripped, the cheapness can be wiped off.
The upper edge of the seedling pot 6 is blocked by the outer curved surface 5a of the outer peripheral wall 5 so that the soil and moss attached to the seedling pot 6 cannot be seen from the outside. The appearance is good because it is not visible. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the seedling pot 6 is effectively used as the background color of the outer peripheral wall 5, and the heavy image of the outer peripheral wall 5 becomes more prominent.

Since water can be stored in the pot bottom 3, the appearance does not deteriorate due to dust, insects, moss, mold, and the like.
Since the phosphorescent material is contained, the planter 1 produces a faint light in the dark after that when the light is turned off at the place where the planter 1 is placed. In some cases, the light emitted from the planter 1 dimly illuminates the flowering trees, the shelves around the planter, the surrounding objects (dolls, glass objects, indoor walls, etc.) It becomes very aesthetic when it comes to create a unique atmosphere. If the planter 1 is placed on a staircase or corridor, it can also be used as a foot lighting at night.

From these things, it is not necessary to put this planter 1 in a cosmetic box or a cosmetic basket.
By the way, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change suitably according to embodiment.
For example, it is not limited that the bowl bottom 3 has a structure in which water can be stored or the support base 10 is provided on the bowl bottom 3, and holes for draining and venting may be provided. That is, it is also possible to plant the flower tree by directly putting soil into the pot body 2 without the seedling pot 6. Therefore, the size (capacity) of the pot body 2 is not necessarily determined based on the seedling pot 6.

The point of forming a transparent or colored transparent resin as a forming material or the point of containing a phosphorescent pigment is not always limited, and if necessary, a transparent resin containing a phosphorescent pigment in an opaque resin, transparent or colored A transparent resin that does not contain a phosphorescent pigment, and in some cases, an opaque resin that does not contain a phosphorescent pigment can be used.
Needless to say, the place of use of the planter 1 is not limited to indoors but may be outdoor.

It is the perspective view which showed 1st Embodiment of the planter which concerns on this invention. It is the sectional side view which showed the condition which planted the flower through the seedling pot in the planter of FIG. 1 (inserted the seedling pot). It is a bottom view of the planter of FIG. It is an AA line expanded sectional view of FIG.
