【０００１】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、コンクリートブロック塀等の壁面や階段、間知積擁壁等の傾斜面等に設置して草花を簡単に栽培できるプランターに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
近年、花いっぱい運動が盛んであり、家屋の周囲を囲むコンクリートブロック塀や階段等に箱型のプランターを立て並べて草花を栽培しているのを頻繁に見かける。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来のプランターは箱型に形成されていて、水平な面上に立て置くようになっていたので、垂直な壁面や階段、傾斜面等に設置するときは、プランターを水平状態に固定するための固定部材が別に必要であった。
また、間知積擁壁等の擁壁の壁面は未だ手つかずであり、コンクリートブロック面がむきだしとなっているところが多いが、このような擁壁に従来のプランターを設置する場合、擁壁の傾斜角度が場所によって異なっているため、擁壁の傾斜角度に対応した固定部材を各擁壁毎に用いねばならず、設置コストが多大となるという問題があった。
【０００４】
本発明は、従来のこのような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、コンクリートブロック塀等の壁面や階段、間知積擁壁等の傾斜面等に設置し、固定することができ、手軽に草花を栽培することのできるプランターを提供することにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するたの手段】
上記課題を解決するため本発明のプランターは、立設状態の取付け板の表面に相対する二側板を突設してなる基部と、蓋板の裏面に相対する二側板を突設してなる蓋部とを、基部の側板と蓋部の側板とが互いに重合するようにして組合せ、蓋部の下部を基部の下部に回動自在に軸支させ、且つ重合した両側板に一個以上位置固定用孔を形成し、基部に対して蓋部の上部が適宜角度で広がり又は狭まった位置で位置固定用孔に連結部材を挿入して両側板を重合状態で固定せしめ、上記取付け板と蓋板間の凹部を草花栽培部としたことを特徴としてなるものである。
【０００６】
基部に突設する側板は下方窄まりの扇形状、或いは少なくとも周縁の一部が円弧で形成されてなる任意形のものとし、蓋部に突設する蓋板も上記側板と同曲率の周縁を有する下方窄まりの扇形状とすることが好ましい。また、基部の側板と同曲率の周縁を有する下方窄まりの扇形状に形成されていて、その表面に一個以上の位置固定用孔を有する連結板を、基部と蓋部の両側板に少なくとも一対重合し、且つ上記連結板の下部を基部の下部に回動自在に軸支させて構成してもよい。

【０００７】
取付け板の二側板下端には底板となる底部を形成し、取付け板の中間高さ位置部には少なくとも一つの排水孔を形成することがより好ましい。
【０００８】
【作用】
壁面に取付け板を固定して基部を取付け、蓋部を基部の取付け傾斜角度に応じて開拡すると共に、基部及び蓋部の両側板を連結部材で連結し、取付け板と蓋板との間の凹部内に土を入れ草花を栽培する。
【０００９】
【実施例】
以下、図示した実施例に基づき本発明を詳述する。図１乃至図６は本発明の好適な一実施例のプランターを示しており、図中、本実施例のプランター１は基部２と蓋部３とから構成されている。
【００１０】
基部２は、略矩形状の取付け板２ａを立設した状態で、その両側部に扇形状の側板２ｂ、２ｂを突設して形成し、該取付け板２ａの上部及び下部には取付け用孔２ｃ、２ｃ、・・・及び２ｄ、２ｄ、・・・をそれぞれ複数個形成し、取付け板２ａの中間高さ位置には水抜き用孔２ｅ、２ｅ、・・・を複数個形成してある。また、側板２ｂ、２ｂの上部及び下部には固定用孔２ｆ、２ｆ、・・・及び２ｇ、２ｇ、・・・を周縁と平行に所定間隔で複数個並べて形成し、また、側板２ｂ、２ｂの先すぼまり端部には孔２ｈ、２ｈをそれぞれ形成してある。側板２ｂ、２ｂの突設位置は、取付け板２ａの両側部に限られず、表面の任意位置に相対して突設することができる。
【００１１】
蓋部３は、略矩形状の蓋板３ａの裏面側の両側部に上記側板２ｂ、２ｂの周縁と同曲率の周縁を有する扇形状の側板３ｂ、３ｂを突設して形成し、該側板３ｂ、３ｂの上部及び下部には固定用孔３ｃ、３ｃ、・・・及び３ｄ、３ｄ、・・・を周縁と平行に且つ上記固定用孔２ｆ、２ｆ、・・・と同ピッチで複数個並べて形成し、また、側板３ｂ、３ｂの先窄まり端部には当該両側板を連通する孔３ｅを形成してある。
【００１２】
この蓋部３は、側板３ｂ、３ｂの裏面（開放端側）を取付け板２ａに向け、側板３ｂ、３ｂの外面を基部２の両側板２ｂ、２ｂの内面と重合させると共に、先すぼまり端部の連通孔３ｅを上記孔２ｈ、２ｈと同心に設置させ、この同心孔２ｈ、２ｈ及び３ｅ内にシャフト４を挿入して、基部２に回動自在に連結している。そして、取付け板２ａと蓋板３ａがシャフト４を軸として適宜角度を成す位置で、重なり合った両側板の上部固定用孔２ｆ、・・・と３ｃ、・・・及び下部固定用孔２ｇ、・・・と３ｄ、・・・にボルト５ａを挿入し、両側板を貫通したボルト５ａの他端からナット５ｂを螺合して位置固定してある。
上記固定用孔２ｆ、・・・及び３ｃ、・・・は、図２に示す如く、長孔２Ｆ及び３Ｃとし、該長孔の下面にボルト５ａ位置決め用凹部を形成するようにしてもよい。
【００１３】
上記基部２及び蓋部３は、錆びにくいステンレス鋼材やプラスチック、不蝕処理を施した木材や鋼材、素焼土材等により成形することができるが、擁壁等の高所への設置を考慮して、軽量材料を用いて成形することがより好ましい。また、上記シャフト４の代わりに蝶番を用いて両部を連結してもよく、また、ボルト５ａ及びナット５ｂの代わりに任意の連結部材を採用することもできる。なお、これら蝶番や連結部材も、基部２や蓋部３と同様にステンレス鋼材等の錆びにくい材質のものを用いることがより好ましい。
【００１４】
本実施例のプランター１は以上のように構成されており、以下の手順で取り付ける。先ず、図３に示すように、プランター１を取り付けるコンクリートブロック等の壁面６に適宜な径及び深さで穴６ａを穿設し、この穴６ａにステンレス鋼材等の錆びにくい材質で成形されたアンカー７を打ち込み、このアンカー７の螺子穴に、ボルト８を基部２の取付け用孔２ｃ、・・・及び２ｄ、・・・を通してねじ込み固定する。なお、上記穴６ａ内への雨水の進入を防止するため、穴６ａ内にはシリコン樹脂等を注入しておくことが望ましい。
なお、間知積擁壁等に取付ける場合には、コンクリートブロックの組上げ方によりブロック溝の形状も異なるため、図４に示すようにブロック溝を跨ぐ位置にプランター１を配置する必要がある。
【００１５】
次に、壁面６の傾斜角度に応じて、基部２に対する蓋部３の開拡角度を調整する。即ち、図５及び図６に示すように、壁面６が鉛直面に対して角度θだけ傾斜しているときは、蓋部３を前記図１の重合位置から角度θだけ開拡するよう回動し、その位置で重合する両部の側板をボルト５ａ、ナット５ｂを用いて固定することにより取付けが完了する。なお、上記手順は例示であって、取付け順序は任意である。また、アンカー７を用いず、基部２を壁面６に直接取り付けてもよい。
【００１６】
そして、取付け板２ａと蓋板３ａとの間の凹部１ａ内に土を入れ、この凹部１ａ内で草花を栽培するが、凹部１ａ内に注がれた水が隙間から全て漏れてしまうことを防止し、凹部１ａ内での水持ちを良好に保つため、土を入れる際に予め、凹部１ａ底部にコーキング剤等を注入して隙間を塞いでおいたり、凹部１ａ内に適宜形状の貯水用開口容器を設置したりしておくことが望ましい。また、凹部１ａ内に土を入れた後、周面に多数の孔を有する多孔パイプを土中に差し込み、このパイプを通して土中の通気を促進させるようにしてもよい。
【００１７】
本実施例のプランター１によれば、壁面６に取付け板２ａを固定しているので、壁面６の傾斜角度にかかわらず、当該壁面６に安定且つ確実に取り付けることができる。そして、蓋部３が基部２に回動自在に連結しているので、基部３を傾斜面に取付ける場合に、蓋部３を適宜開拡することにより、草花栽培部である凹部１ａの広さを基部３の傾斜角度に応じて適宜に調節でき、凹部１ａの傾きによる土の漏出や栽培領域の減小を生じさせることなく、より広い領域を以て草花を栽培することができる。
【００１８】
この場合、基部２と蓋部３の両側板２ｂ、２ｂ及び３ｂ、３ｂが同曲率の扇形状で形成してあるので、蓋部３を開拡したときに、両側部の周縁が同一円弧上に連続し、凹凸のない曲線状となって外観上の見栄えがよい。また、上記両側板２ｂ、２ｂ及び３ｂ、３ｂは、その上部と下部の二箇所にボルト５ａを挿通して固定してあるので、両側板２ｂ、２ｂ及び３ｂ、３ｂは相互に強固に連結し、降雪等により蓋部３に大きな荷重がかかっても、蓋板３ａが撓むことはない。
【００１９】
また、取付け板１ａの上下中間位置に水抜き用孔２ｅ、・・・が形成してあるので、凹部１ａ内に注がれた水の内、凹部１ａ底部に溜まった不要な水を効果的に排出することができる。
【００２０】
図７は、本発明の他の実施例を示しており、このプランター１１は、基部１２に取付け板１２ａの下部から上方に傾斜して立ち上がる底部１２ｃを設け、この底部１２ｃ両側部に上縁が円弧で形成されてなる側板１２ｂ、１２ｂを形成し、底部１２ｃの上端に、蓋板１３ａと上記側板１２ｂ、１２ｂの円弧と同曲率の周縁を有する扇形状の側板１３ｂ、１３ｂとを有する蓋部１３をシャフト４を介して回動自在に連結したものである。なお、基部１２及び蓋部１３にそれぞれ形成された各孔及び側板を連結する連結部材は、前記実施例と同様である。
【００２１】
本実施例のプランター１１によれば、取付け板１２ａに底部１２ｃが設けてあるので、前記実施例と比較して、凹部１１ａを広く設けることができ、また、同図（Ｂ）に示すように、基部１２の傾斜角度に応じて蓋部１３を適宜開拡することにより、凹部１１ａの広さを適宜に調節することができる。また、基部１２と蓋部１３の両側板１２ｂ、１２ｂ及び１３ｂ、１３ｂの周縁が同曲率の円弧で形成してあるので、蓋部１３を開拡したときに、両側板の周縁が凹凸のない連続した曲線状となって、外観上の見栄えがよい。
【００２２】
図８は、本発明のさらに他の実施例を示しており、このプランター２１は、取付け板２２ａ、側部２２ｂ、２２ｂ及び底部２２ｃからなる基部２２に、蓋板２３ａ及び側板２３ｂ、２３ｂからなる蓋部２３をシャフト４を介して回動自在に連結すると共に、上記シャフト４に回動自在に枢支された連結板２４、２４、・・・を両側板２２ｂ、２２ｂ及び２３ｂ、２３ｂの内側に一対に配設し、これら両側板と連結板とを相互に重合位置で連結部材５ａ、５ｂにより固定したものである。なお、基部２２及び蓋部２３にそれぞれ形成された各孔及び側板を連結する連結部材は、前記各実施例と同様である。
【００２３】
本実施例のプランター２１によれば、同図（Ｂ）、（Ｃ）に示すように、基部２１の両側板２２ｂ、２２ｂと連結板２４、２４とを連結し、この連結板２４、２４と蓋部２３の両側板２３ｂ、２３ｂとを連結することにより、蓋部２３の回動角度を広げることができ、垂直壁面からなだらかな傾斜面まで、壁面６の広角な傾斜角度に柔軟に対応させることができる。この場合、重合する各両側板２２ｂ、２２ｂ、２３ｂ、２３ｂ及び連結板２４、・・・の周縁を、同曲率で形成すれば、蓋部２３を開拡したときに、これら各板の周縁が凹凸のない連続した曲線状となり、外観上好ましい。
【００２４】
図９は、上記各実施例のプランターを傾斜した壁面６に取付けた場合の外観図である。各プランター３１への給水は、雨水や撒水等により行なうことができるが、同図に示すように、給水用の水道管路やホースをを壁面に敷設し、この水道管路を通じ、給水設備から適宜給水するようにしてもよい。なお、土返し等、各プランター３１のメンテナンスは、壁面６にはしごをかけたり、台に乗ったりして行なうことができ、その他適宜手段を用いることができる。また、擁壁等、高所に設置されるプランター３１には、多年草の苗を植えることがより好ましい。
【００２５】
また、上記各実施例において、基部側板の周縁を円弧で形成し、また蓋部側板を扇形状に形成したが、この形状に限るものではなく、他の曲面、或いは多角形で形成してもよい。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
以上、本発明のプランターによれば、取付け板を壁面に固定して基部を取り付けているので、壁面の傾斜角度にかかわらず、当該壁面に安定且つ確実に取り付けることができる。
【００２７】
そして、蓋部が基部に回動自在に連結しているので、基部を傾斜面に取付けるときに蓋部を傾斜角度に応じて開拡することにより、草花栽培部たる凹部の広さを基部の傾斜角度に応じて適宜に調節することができ、凹部の傾きによる土の漏出や栽培領域の減小を生じさせることなく、より広い領域を以て草花を栽培することができる。
【００２８】
また、基部と蓋部を連結板を介して連結することにより、蓋部の回動角度が広がり、垂直な壁面からなだらかな傾斜面まで、幅広い角度の壁面に柔軟に対応することができる。
【００２９】
また、基部と蓋部の両側板及び連結板の周縁を同曲率の円弧で形成することにより、蓋部を開拡したときに、側部の周縁が同一円弧上に連続し、凹凸のない曲線状となって外観上の見栄えを向上させることができる。
【００３０】
さらに、取付け板の上下中間位置に水抜き用孔が形成してあるので、凹部内に注がれた水の内、凹部底部に溜まった不要な水を効果的に排出することができる。
【００３１】
本発明のプランターを垂直な壁面、或いは擁壁等の傾斜面に取り付け、草花を栽培することにより、壁面及び周囲の道路や建物が色づき、コンクリート面にうるおいを持たせることができる。そして、栽培している草花からの水分の蒸散、土からの蒸発等により、壁面を効果的に冷却させることが可能である。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a planter that can be easily cultivated by installing it on a wall surface such as a concrete block wall, a stairway, or an inclined surface such as a retaining wall of Machi.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, there has been a lot of flowering exercise, and it is frequently seen that box-shaped planters are erected on a concrete block wall or stairs surrounding a house to grow flowers.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional planter is formed in a box shape and is set up on a horizontal surface, so when installing it on a vertical wall, stairs, inclined surface, etc., it is necessary to fix the planter in a horizontal state. A separate fixing member was required.
In addition, the walls of the retaining walls such as the Machi-seki retaining wall are still untouched and the concrete block surface is often exposed.However, when installing a conventional planter on such a retaining wall, the inclination of the retaining wall Since the angle differs depending on the location, a fixing member corresponding to the inclination angle of the retaining wall must be used for each retaining wall, and there is a problem that the installation cost becomes large.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and its purpose is to install on a wall surface or a stair such as a concrete block wall, an inclined surface such as a retaining wall of the Machi, An object of the present invention is to provide a planter that can be fixed and can easily grow a flower.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a planter of the present invention includes a base formed by projecting two side plates facing the surface of a mounting plate in an upright state, and a lid formed by projecting two side plates facing the back surface of a lid plate. The parts are combined such that the side plate of the base and the side plate of the lid part overlap each other, the lower part of the lid part is rotatably supported on the lower part of the base part, and one or more positions are fixed to the overlapped both side plates. A hole is formed, and a connecting member is inserted into the position fixing hole at a position where the upper portion of the lid portion spreads or narrows at an appropriate angle with respect to the base portion, and the both side plates are fixed in a superposed state, and between the mounting plate and the lid plate. Is characterized in that the concave portion is a flower growing section.
[0006]
The side plate protruding from the base has a fan shape with a downward constriction or any shape in which at least a part of the periphery is formed in an arc, and the lid plate protruding from the lid also has a periphery having the same curvature as the side plate. It is preferable to have a fan shape having a downward constriction. Further, a connecting plate which is formed in a fan-like shape of downward constriction having a peripheral edge of the same curvature as the side plate of the base and has one or more position fixing holes on the surface thereof is provided at least in pairs on both side plates of the base and the lid. The connecting plate may be superimposed, and the lower portion of the connecting plate may be rotatably supported by the lower portion of the base.

[0007]
More preferably, a bottom portion serving as a bottom plate is formed at the lower end of the two side plates of the mounting plate, and at least one drain hole is formed at an intermediate height position of the mounting plate.
[0008]
[Action]
Fix the mounting plate to the wall surface, mount the base, expand the lid according to the mounting inclination angle of the base, connect the base and the lid both side plates with connecting members, and connect the mounting plate and the lid plate. Cultivate flowering plants by putting soil in the recess.
[0009]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIGS. 1 to 6 show a planter according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, a planter 1 according to this embodiment includes a base 2 and a lid 3.
[0010]
The base 2 is formed by projecting fan-shaped side plates 2b and 2b on both sides thereof in a state in which a substantially rectangular mounting plate 2a is erected, and mounting holes are formed in upper and lower portions of the mounting plate 2a. .. And 2d, 2d,..., And a plurality of drainage holes 2e, 2e,. . Also, a plurality of fixing holes 2f, 2f,... And 2g, 2g,... Are arranged at predetermined intervals in the upper and lower portions of the side plates 2b, 2b. Are formed with holes 2h and 2h, respectively, at the tapered ends. The protruding positions of the side plates 2b, 2b are not limited to both side portions of the mounting plate 2a, and can be protruded relative to an arbitrary position on the surface.
[0011]
The lid portion 3 is formed by projecting fan-shaped side plates 3b, 3b having peripheral edges of the same curvature as the peripheral edges of the side plates 2b, 2b on both sides on the back side of the substantially rectangular lid plate 3a. A plurality of fixing holes 3c, 3c, ... and 3d, 3d, ... are provided at upper and lower portions of 3b, 3b in parallel with the periphery and at the same pitch as the fixing holes 2f, 2f, ... The side plates 3b, 3b are formed with holes 3e communicating with the side plates at the tapered ends of the side plates 3b, 3b.
[0012]
The lid portion 3 has the rear surfaces (open end sides) of the side plates 3b, 3b facing the mounting plate 2a, and the outer surfaces of the side plates 3b, 3b overlap with the inner surfaces of the both side plates 2b, 2b of the base portion 2 and taper. The communication hole 3e at the end is installed concentrically with the holes 2h, 2h, and the shaft 4 is inserted into the concentric holes 2h, 2h, 3e, and is rotatably connected to the base 2. At the position where the mounting plate 2a and the lid plate 3a form an appropriate angle about the shaft 4, the upper fixing holes 2f,..., 3c,. A bolt 5a is inserted into 3d, and 3d, and a nut 5b is screwed in from the other end of the bolt 5a penetrating both side plates to fix the position.
As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing holes 2f,... And 3c may be elongated holes 2F and 3C, and a bolt 5a positioning recess may be formed on the lower surface of the elongated holes.
[0013]
The base 2 and the lid 3 can be formed from rust-resistant stainless steel or plastic, uncorroded wood or steel, or clay earthenware, but in consideration of installation at high places such as retaining walls. Therefore, it is more preferable to mold using a lightweight material. In addition, both parts may be connected using a hinge instead of the shaft 4, and an arbitrary connecting member may be used instead of the bolt 5a and the nut 5b. It is more preferable that the hinges and the connecting members be made of a material that is not easily rusted, such as stainless steel, like the base 2 and the lid 3.
[0014]
The planter 1 of this embodiment is configured as described above, and is attached in the following procedure. First, as shown in FIG. 3, a hole 6a having an appropriate diameter and depth is formed in a wall surface 6 of a concrete block or the like on which the planter 1 is to be mounted, and an anchor formed of a rust-resistant material such as a stainless steel material is formed in the hole 6a. 7, and a bolt 8 is screwed into the screw hole of the anchor 7 through the mounting holes 2c,... And 2d,. In order to prevent rainwater from entering the hole 6a, it is desirable to inject silicon resin or the like into the hole 6a.
When the concrete block is mounted on a retaining wall or the like, the shape of the block groove differs depending on how the concrete block is assembled. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the planter 1 at a position across the block groove as shown in FIG.
[0015]
Next, according to the inclination angle of the wall surface 6, the spread angle of the lid 3 with respect to the base 2 is adjusted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the wall surface 6 is inclined by an angle θ with respect to the vertical plane, the lid 3 is rotated so as to open and widen by an angle θ from the overlapping position of FIG. Then, the mounting is completed by fixing the two side plates that overlap at that position using bolts 5a and nuts 5b. The above procedure is an example, and the order of attachment is arbitrary. Further, the base 2 may be directly attached to the wall surface 6 without using the anchor 7.
[0016]
Then, soil is put into the concave portion 1a between the mounting plate 2a and the cover plate 3a, and flowers are cultivated in the concave portion 1a. However, it is required that all the water poured into the concave portion 1a leaks from the gap. In order to prevent this and maintain good water retention in the concave portion 1a, a caulking agent or the like is injected into the bottom of the concave portion 1a in advance to close the gap when soil is poured, or an appropriately shaped water storage in the concave portion 1a. It is desirable to install an open container. Further, after the soil is put into the concave portion 1a, a porous pipe having a large number of holes on the peripheral surface may be inserted into the soil, and ventilation of the soil may be promoted through the pipe.
[0017]
According to the planter 1 of this embodiment, since the mounting plate 2a is fixed to the wall surface 6, it can be stably and reliably mounted on the wall surface 6 regardless of the inclination angle of the wall surface 6. Since the lid 3 is rotatably connected to the base 2, when the base 3 is mounted on an inclined surface, the lid 3 is appropriately expanded to expand the width of the concave portion 1a, which is a flower growing section. Can be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the inclination angle of the base 3, and the flower can be cultivated with a wider area without causing the leakage of the soil and the reduction of the cultivation area due to the inclination of the concave portion 1a.
[0018]
In this case, since both side plates 2b, 2b and 3b, 3b of the base portion 2 and the lid portion 3 are formed in a sector shape having the same curvature, when the lid portion 3 is expanded, the peripheral edges of both side portions are on the same arc. And has a curved shape without irregularities, so that the appearance is good. Further, since the both side plates 2b, 2b and 3b, 3b are fixed by inserting bolts 5a into two places of the upper and lower parts, the both side plates 2b, 2b, 3b, 3b are firmly connected to each other. Even if a large load is applied to the lid portion 3 due to snowfall or the like, the lid plate 3a does not bend.
[0019]
Also, since the drain holes 2e,... Are formed at the upper and lower intermediate positions of the mounting plate 1a, of the water poured into the concave portion 1a, unnecessary water accumulated at the bottom of the concave portion 1a can be effectively removed. Can be discharged.
[0020]
FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this planter 11, a base 12 is provided with a bottom 12c that rises upward from the lower portion of the mounting plate 12a, and upper edges are formed on both sides of the bottom 12c. A lid having side plates 12b, 12b formed by arcs, and a lid plate 13a and fan-shaped side plates 13b, 13b having peripheral edges having the same curvature as the arcs of the side plates 12b, 12b at the upper end of the bottom 12c. 13 are rotatably connected via a shaft 4. The connecting members for connecting the holes and the side plates respectively formed in the base 12 and the lid 13 are the same as those in the above embodiment.
[0021]
According to the planter 11 of this embodiment, since the bottom portion 12c is provided on the mounting plate 12a, the concave portion 11a can be provided wider than that of the above embodiment, and as shown in FIG. By appropriately expanding the lid 13 in accordance with the inclination angle of the base 12, the width of the recess 11a can be appropriately adjusted. Further, since the peripheral edges of both side plates 12b, 12b and 13b, 13b of the base portion 12 and the lid portion 13 are formed by arcs having the same curvature, when the lid portion 13 is expanded, the peripheral edges of the both side plates have no irregularities. It has a continuous curved shape and good appearance.
[0022]
FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. This planter 21 includes a base plate 22 composed of a mounting plate 22a, side portions 22b, 22b and a bottom portion 22c, and a lid plate 23a and side plates 23b, 23b. The lid 23 is rotatably connected via the shaft 4, and the connecting plates 24, 24,... Rotatably supported by the shaft 4 are connected to the inside of both side plates 22 b, 22 b and 23 b, 23 b. The two side plates and the connecting plate are fixed to each other at the overlapping position by connecting members 5a and 5b. The connecting members for connecting the holes and the side plates formed in the base 22 and the lid 23 are the same as those in the above-described embodiments.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the planter of the present invention, since the mounting plate is fixed to the wall surface and the base portion is mounted, it can be stably and reliably mounted on the wall surface regardless of the inclination angle of the wall surface.
[0027]
Since the lid is rotatably connected to the base, the lid is expanded according to the inclination angle when the base is attached to the inclined surface, so that the width of the concave portion serving as the flower cultivation part is increased. The flower can be cultivated with a wider area without causing the soil to leak or the cultivation area to be reduced due to the inclination of the recess, which can be appropriately adjusted according to the inclination angle.
[0028]
In addition, by connecting the base and the lid via the connection plate, the rotation angle of the lid is widened, and it is possible to flexibly cope with a wide range of wall surfaces from a vertical wall surface to a gentle slope.
[0029]
In addition, by forming the peripheral edges of the base plate and the side plates of the lid portion and the peripheral edge of the connecting plate with arcs of the same curvature, when the lid portion is expanded, the peripheral edge of the side portion is continuous on the same arc, and a curved line without irregularities. As a result, the appearance can be improved.
[0030]
Further, since the drain holes are formed at the upper and lower intermediate positions of the mounting plate, unnecessary water accumulated at the bottom of the concave portion can be effectively discharged from the water poured into the concave portion.
[0031]
By mounting the planter of the present invention on a vertical wall surface or an inclined surface such as a retaining wall and cultivating flowers, the wall surface and surrounding roads and buildings can be colored, and the concrete surface can have moisture. The wall surface can be effectively cooled by transpiration of water from the cultivated flowers, evaporation from the soil, and the like.
