Description

The present invention relates to a greening member used when a wall surface or a partition surface is greened using a climbing plant.
When the wall surface is high, the greening may be divided into several stages. In addition, the green partition surface is used as an interior with a healing effect as well as a simple partitioning indoors. Outside, it is used as a screen for blindfolds, a light-shielding guard, or a soft barrier with an atmosphere that prohibits entry. The green surfaces of these walls and partitions are called green curtains.

A vine plant is a plant suitable for a green curtain because of its characteristics. However, vine plants cannot stand on their own and need to be pillars.
For this reason, seedling farmers hang hemp strings and the like from the ceiling of the greenhouse to replace the pillars and grow vine plants.
Usually, it is shipped for a green curtain while being wrapped around a hemp string or the like, and the hemp string or the like is removed on the spot from the viewpoint of appearance. However, this work is unexpectedly troublesome, and often damages vine plants by tearing leaves, bending vines, or cutting. Moreover, since the removed hemp string or the like can only be discarded, resources are wasted.

  In addition, the technique regarding the cultivation of a climbing plant aimed at utilizing for a green curtain is described in patent documents 1-3. In many cases, seedlings grown in pots or nurseries are pre-prepared, such as shelves and fences, which are transplanted near the pillars when growing while tangling plants are entangled, gradually waiting for the growth of the vines, and the green curtain gradually There is no disclosure of technical matters that can be distributed as a greening member, in other words, technical matters for commercialization.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-42201 JP 2011-139672 A JP2012-128110A

It is an object of the present invention to provide a greening member that is easy to mount and replace, and that saves resources.
Attachment means that the greening member is used for a new green curtain. The replacement means replacing a greening member that has already been used with a new one. For example, a greening member that has already been used as a green curtain can be replaced with a greening member made of a climbing plant that suits the season, or a greening member of a climbing plant that has withered or weakened over time can be fresh. It is to replace with a new greening member wrapped with a climbing plant.

It consists of a climbing plant in which roots are planted in a curing block and a string or wire having an upper mounting part at the upper end and a lower mounting part at the lower end, and conforms to the standard that sets the size of the curing block and the length of the string or wire. It has a structure in which a vine plant is entangled with a string or a wire.
The string or wire is consistently used from the beginning until it is sold as a greening member until it is incorporated into a wall or partition as a green curtain.

The curing block is capable of independently curing the roots of climbing plants for each greening member as a product, and entangles individual pots and fibers with a small amount of soil to contain moisture and some fertilizer. Block. Since the greening member of this device is a product intended for replacement or combination of vines, the curing block is relatively small, and the range that can maintain vines without dying until replacement It's okay. Of course, the thing which can supply water is included.
The string or wire preferably has a spiral structure in which a sub-wire is wound around a core wire.
The green curtain of the present invention is configured by attaching a plurality of the greening members to the frame material. The attachment portion is detachable from the frame member, and the greening member can be easily attached to or exchanged with the frame member.

The vine plant that is used for the green curtain is not completed by growing the vine plant in the field of the green curtain, but the green curtain is completed by attaching a greening member entwined with the vine plant to the string or wire, so the vine plant Is prepared as a greening member, the green curtain can be completed in a short time when necessary.
A vine plant can be widely sold as a new standardized product (greening member) for a green curtain.
Since the greening member is standardized, it can be easily replaced as a green curtain member, and various vine plants can be combined, such as changing the type of vine plant according to the season and taste.

Since it is not necessary to remove the string or the wire until the greening member becomes a part of the green curtain from the time of raising the seedling, the trouble of removing the string or the wire does not occur. Moreover, a string or a wire is not wasted.
Since it is possible to commercialize vine plants that have grown and stable growth, it is easy to complete greening in a short period of time, and it is also possible to enjoy flowers and fruits that are unique to vine plants. In addition, since grown vines are traded at high prices, it is possible to produce products with high added value for nursery farmers.
The planting plant of this greening member is provided in the grown state, and comes with a string or wire with an upper mounting part and a lower mounting part, so it can be easily used as interior or blindfold even if purchased at home or office Can be used.

The greening member is shown in a packing state, in which (A) is a perspective view of a boxed state, and (B) is a front view showing a state of simple packaging. The front view (part) at the time of using the greening member of Example 1 for a partition is broken and shown. Sectional drawing which expanded and showed the principal part of the partition which concerns on Example 1. FIG. The front view at the time of using a greening member for big green curtains, such as a wall surface. The perspective view of the greening member of Example 2. FIG. The front view (part) at the time of using the greening member of Example 2 for a partition is broken and shown. Sectional drawing which expanded and showed the principal part of the partition which concerns on Example 2. FIG.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
The greening member 1 has a vine plant 2, a wire 3 and a curing block 4.
In this example, the climbing plant 2 is a hedera helix and grows to about 1.2 m. As the vine plant 2, various other plants such as vine jasmine can be used. In addition, a type that is not wound by itself may be fixed to the wire 3 by using a planting band or the like.

  The wire 3 is a so-called spiral wire, and is obtained by winding a sub wire 6 around a core wire 5 in a spiral shape. Both the core wire 5 and the sub wire 6 are stainless steel wires, and both surfaces are coated with a resin such as nylon. The nominal diameter (spiral outline) of the spiral wire composed of the core wire 5 and the auxiliary wire 6 is φ6. The wire 3 has an upper hook 7 as an upper attachment portion at the upper end. The upper hook 7 is for attaching the greening member 1 to the upper support member 10 (FIG. 2) constituting the green curtain. A lower hook 9 as a lower attachment portion is attached to the lower end of the wire 3 via a chuck 8. The lower hook 9 is for attaching and stabilizing the lower part of the greening member 1 to the lower support material 11 etc. which comprise a green curtain.

The upper support material 10 and the lower support material 11 (including pipes, shapes, or wires) necessary for constituting the green curtain may be fixed to the wall surface by the frame material alone, but the frame is like a partition. There is also the upper frame material and the lower frame material of the frame body. In any case, the dimension between the upper hook 7 and the lower hook 9 is standardized according to the dimension between the upper support member 10 and the lower support member 11, and if the greening member 1 meets the standard, Any product is designed to fit the target green curtain.
Note that conforming to the standard includes not only the case where the wire 3 is stretched between the upper and lower hooks 7, 9, but also the case where the greening member is loosely attached depending on the purpose of the green curtain (FIG. 2). B)

  The curing block 4 is a block in which recycled fibers using waste materials in this embodiment are compression-molded and the fibers are loosely connected with a binder, and is a rectangular solid of 50 × 50 × 100 mm. Impregnated with water and thin fertilizer. As the curing block 4, a long and narrow pot similar to the above may be filled with clay and the opening may be lightly sealed with a nonwoven fabric or the like. The size of the curing block 4 depends on the specifications of the green curtain intended to use the greening member 1, but is preferably as large as possible. However, it is necessary to consider the convenience such as being too heavy or bulky when transporting as a product.

Such a greening member 1 is used as a support column from the beginning when the wire 3 grows a vine plant 2 at least, and when the vine plant 2 is grown and attached to a green curtain, it is used as a kind of support member combined with a mounting member. Therefore, it is continuously used until the wire 3 is shipped as a product. Moreover, it is used as it is in the green curtain after being shipped. For this reason, the operation | work which pulls off the vine plant 2 from the wire 3 is unnecessary at all.
In addition, the curing block 4 for the green curtain intended at the time of shipment is adopted, and the vine plant 2 may be transplanted from the nursery.
The curing block 4 may be cut out from a common mat-shaped nursery bed in which a plurality of climbing plants are grown together to the desired size for each hanging plant at the time of shipment.

  In the case of bulk loading, the greening member 1 may be transported to the site of the green curtain in a state where a large number are hung on the frame made on the truck bed. It becomes such a packing example. FIG. 3 (a) shows an elongated corrugated cardboard pack, in which after the curing block 4 is stored in the stationary part 13 in the box 12, the vine plant is rolled up and stored. FIG. 3 (b) shows the use of a cover 14 with a transparent resin film hook. The cover 14 has a cylindrical shape with the lower side sealed. Hang it on the hook of the sales floor.

FIG. 4 is an example of a green curtain and is formed in the partition 16.
The partition 16 includes a planter 17, a frame 18, and a plurality of greening members 1.
The planter 17 is a part that attaches and stabilizes the lower part of the greening member 1 and supplies water to the curing block 4, and a waterproof container 19 made of stainless steel is installed therein. A plastic sheet 20 and a non-woven fabric 21 are laid inside the waterproof container 19, a water supply device 22 is installed on the inside thereof, and a culture soil 23 for embedding the curing block 4 is filled therein. The water supply device 22 is of a commercially available independent tank type, and includes a water tank 24 having a water supply port 25 and a water guide cloth 26 extending from the inside of the water tank 24. The water guide cloth 26 is a non-woven fabric having a length corresponding to the size of the planter, and allows water to permeate the culture soil 23 by a capillary phenomenon.

The frame 18 is an aluminum alloy frame body including left and right vertical frames 27a and 27b, an upper frame 28, and a lower frame 29, and is firmly attached to the planter 17 at the lower part of the left and right vertical frames 27a and 27b. The upper frame 28 is a curtain rail type structure having a slit on the lower surface, and a plurality of runners that engage with the upper hook 7 of the greening member 1 are disposed inside. The lower frame 29 has a curtain rail type structure having a slit on the upper surface, and is constructed between the left and right vertical frames 27a and 27b slightly above the cultivating soil 23. A plurality of runners that engage with the lower hook 9 are arranged inside the lower frame 29.
The vertical dimension between the upper frame 28 and the lower frame 29 is a standard dimension between the greening member 1.

In order to configure the partition 16, the frame 18 with the lower frame 29 removed is attached to the planter 17, and the waterproof container 19, the plastic sheet 20, the nonwoven fabric 21, the water supply device 22, and the cultivation soil 23 are sequentially installed inside the planter 17. The water guide cloth 26 of the water supply device 22 is supported by the cultivating soil 23 while being inclined so that the tip is slightly higher than the end portion on the water tank 24 side. Next, the lower frame 29 is bridged between the left and right vertical frames 27a and 27b. Next, the upper hook 7 of the wire 3 of the purchased greening member 1 is hung on the runner of the upper frame 28, the lower hook 9 is locked to the runner of the lower frame 29, and the curing block 4 is embedded in the soil 23.
The plurality of greening members 1 are attached to the planter 17 and the frame 18 in the same manner. The interval between the greening members 1 can be adjusted by moving the upper and lower runners along the upper frame 28 and the lower frame 29. Thereby, the clean partition 16 with the appearance in which the axes of the greening members 1 are aligned can be obtained. Moisture is supplied to the curing block 4 from the water tank 24 through the water guiding cloth 26 and the culture soil 23.

FIG. 6 is an example of use when the green curtain is constructed in a place having a relatively large vertical dimension such as a wall surface, and the interval between the upper support material 10 and the lower support material 11 constituting the wall surface is adopted for the greening member 1. Set to an appropriate length as a vine plant (standardization). Thereby, it is not necessary to make the long greening member 1, it is possible to solve the problems in growing and conveying, and to complete the green curtain in a short period of time. Replacement and combination of the greening member 1 are also facilitated.
In this way, the upper hook 7 provided at the upper end of the wire 3 is hooked on the upper support member 10, the lower hook 9 provided at the lower end is hooked on the lower support member 11, and the greening member 1 is simply stretched. A green curtain can be constructed easily. Field work is greatly reduced, vines are not damaged and no waste is produced.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
In the greening member 1 of Example 2, the lower part of the wire 3 penetrates the curing block 4. A disc-shaped retaining member 30 that supports the curing block 4 from the lower surface side is attached to the wire 3.
The planter 17 of the partition 16 using the greening member 1 includes a lower engaging member 31 and a water supply device 32 that engage with the lower hook 9 of the greening member 1 (FIG. 8). The lower end of the lower engagement member 31 is attached to a rail 33 fixed to the center of the planter 17 in the depth direction so that the position can be adjusted. The lower engagement member 31 includes a spring 34 that biases the greening member 1 downward.

The water supply device 32 includes a water tank 37, a water supply mat 35, and a water guiding cloth 36. The water tanks 37 are arranged on both sides of the rail 33 so as to sandwich the curing block 4 of the greening member 1 installed in the planter 17. A water supply mat 35 is disposed between the water tank 37 and the curing block 4 in contact with the side surface of the curing block 4. A water supply cloth 36 is connected to the water supply mat 35 from the inside of the water tank 37 to supply water (FIG. 9).
A plurality of greening members 1 are arranged between the upper frame 28 of the frame 18 and the rail 33, and the lower hook 9 is locked to a lower engagement member 31 attached to the rail 33 inside the planter 17. At this time, since the spring 34 is locked in a stretched state, the wire 3 of the greening member 1 is stretched substantially in a straight line.

The embodiment has been described above.
The size of the vine plant used for the greening member 1 is arbitrary and may be determined according to the purpose of use. It is not necessary to make the length suitable for the length of the wire 3.
Various forms such as a string or a wire can be set. It is important that it can be used consistently from raising seedlings to a state where it is used for a green curtain as a completed greening member 1.
In the embodiment, the upper and lower positions of the greening member 1 can be adjusted along the upper frame 28 (upper support material), the lower frame 29 and the rail 33 (lower support material), but an adjustable structure is always necessary. is not.
The water supply means taken up in the embodiments is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. When the greening member 1 is used for interior or the like, if the replacement cycle is about one week, there may be no need for water supply.
The form and structure of the upper hook 7 (upper attachment portion) and the lower hook 9 (lower attachment portion) are not limited to those of the embodiments. A coil spring may be integrally formed at the lower end of the upper hook 7 or the upper end of the lower hook 9.
