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. Recently, resin-made planters are also commercially available, and there are various types of shapes. However, the mainstream shapes seem to have many inverted frustoconical shapes and bowl shapes (for example, patents). Reference 1 etc.).

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 addition, when decorating a planter indoors, in order to prevent the irrigated water from leaking out from a bowl bottom, it is well known that it is necessary to lay a resin tray under the planter. However, using this saucer may cause dust and insect dead bodies to float on the surface of the water, and moss and mold may occur easily. Some have been made non-use (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

As mentioned above, conventionally, when you purchase a flower or tree that is marketed in the state where the root area is planted in a nursery pot, you have to replant it into a flower pot or planter, but this is troublesome there were. In addition, the seedling pots left after replanting are discarded, but this sometimes results in waste of resources.
Planters are not 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.

As for the saucer, there is a problem that it looks bad due to dust, insects, moss, mold, etc. as mentioned above, and if you do not use it, if you use a double bowl structure etc. on the planter side, There were problems such as being unsuitable for small flower trees such as a single wheel because it was quite expensive and increased in size.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, has an aesthetic appearance that is novel in appearance, and enables the non-use of a saucer, thereby reducing the trouble of replanting from a seedling pot. The object is to provide a planter that can be made unnecessary and that is structurally simple and does not cause a rise or 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 is formed using a resin material containing a phosphorescent pigment as a raw material.
For this reason, when the light is turned off at the place where the planter is placed, the planter produces a faint light in the dark. In some cases, the light emitted from this planter dimly illuminates the flowering trees, surrounding shelf surfaces, and surrounding objects (dolls, glass objects, etc.) planted in the planter, creating a fantastic atmosphere. And become very aesthetic. For this reason, it is not necessary to put this planter in a dressing box or dressing box.

The planter according to the present invention may have a bowl body having an outer peripheral wall that is formed to spread upward from the bowl bottom to the upper opening.
In this case, it is assumed that the pot body can store water at a predetermined water level from the bottom of the pot, and the seedling pot is formed with a capacity that can be completely stored without rattling. Moreover, the support stand which makes it possible to support a seedling pot in a floating floor state on the inner upper surface of the pot bottom can be projected.
If such a pot body is used, it is only necessary to fit the purchased flowering tree together with the seedling pot into this planter. That is, the trouble of replanting becomes unnecessary. Moreover, since water can be stored in the pot bottom, the water irrigated with respect to the flowering tree is stored in the pot bottom in the pot body and cannot be seen from the outside. For this reason, moss and fungi do not deteriorate the appearance, and dust and insects do not drift on the surface of the water, and even if it does not appear from the outside, it does not lead to a decrease in appearance.

It is preferable to provide a grounding rib projecting in a streak shape along the outer periphery of the outer bottom surface of the bowl bottom.
Although such a grounding rib has a small grounding area, it is hardly affected by molding errors during resin molding, and can be stably placed. Therefore, it is suitable for decorating indoors.

  The planter according to the present invention has an aesthetic appearance that is novel in appearance, can eliminate the use of a saucer, 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 a first 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 outwardly bulging curved 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. Then, 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.
As shown in FIG. 5 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the bowl body 2 can be formed in various shapes such as a cup shape.
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 a hole for draining or 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. It is the perspective view which showed 2nd Embodiment of the planter which concerns on this invention.
