Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、屋上、ベランダ等における緑化対策の一環として使用する施工性に優れた植物栽培コンテナに係り、高度な美感を実現し、且つ施工が容易な植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
現代社会における都市部には自然が不足しているが、人間の自然に対する希求に応えて自然不足を補うべく、都市部における緑化対策が図られている。かかる緑化対策は、ビルの屋上、ベランダ、室内（アトリウム）、イベント会場などを人工的に緑化することで行われるが、具体的には例えば、潅水に優れたプランターなどの植物栽培コンテナに植物育成材を詰めて植物を栽培する等の方法で行うと良好である。
【０００３】
しかし、ビルの屋上、ベランダ等の規定範囲内に植物栽培コンテナを敷設して植物を栽培する場合、高い施工性を実現しつつ、その植物栽培領域の周囲外観をいかに美しく処理するかが、非常に難しい問題となっている。
【０００４】
即ち、従来の植物栽培コンテナには、平面視方形、三角形、六角形などの多角形等種々の形状があり、一種類若しくは種々の形状・大きさの植物栽培コンテナを所要数組み合わせて、ビルの屋上、ベランダなどの所定範囲内に敷設し、敷き詰めた植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁に単に縁石を並べて、そのボーダー部分を処理している。
【０００５】
従って、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁に突出した角部の体栽が好ましくなく、植物栽培領域の外観が落ち着かないものとなる。このため、直線処理或いは円弧処理すべき植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の外側に並ぶ縁石は、凹凸の連続処理となって美感を損なうと共に、規定範囲内への施工作業が困難なものとなり、顧客の要望に充分応えられない。
【０００６】
上記問題点を従来の縁石を用いるボーダー部処理構造で解決するためには、通常、平面視方形、三角形、種々の角度の円弧形等、多種多様の植物栽培コンテナを準備する必要があり、このような多様な植物栽培コンテナを使用してボーダー部を処理する構造では、現実にはコスト等の観点から上記問題点に対処するのは難しい。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記問題点を解決するため、従来の技術思想を離れ別の観点から技術開発されたもので、平面視一種類若しくは数種の形状又は大きさの多角形植物栽培コンテナを組み合わせ、ビルの屋上などの規定範囲内に植物栽培コンテナ群を敷設する場合に、外観上、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の美観を損なうことがなく、且つ施工容易な植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造を提供することを目的とする。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明による植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造は、敷設面上に所要数敷設されている植物栽培コンテナからなる植物栽培コンテナ群と、該植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁から所定間隔を置いて設けられている仕切部材と、該植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と該仕切部材との間に敷設されている仕上材とからなることを特徴とする。即ち、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と仕切部材との間に形成された空間部に仕上材を敷設する。なお植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁から所定間隔を置いて設けられる仕切部材は、前記外周縁の全周に亘って或いは所要箇所に設けられている。
【０００９】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と前記仕切部材との間に敷設されている前記仕上材の下方にボーダー下地材が配設されていることを特徴とする。従って、前記ボーダー下地材の上方に形成される空間部に仕上材が敷設されることになる。
【００１０】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記植物栽培コンテナに植物育成材が詰められ植物が植栽されていると共に、前記植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁付近で前記仕切部材から所定幅寸法内に位置する植物が除去され、該除去部分に仕上材が敷設されていることを特徴とする。従って、前記除去部分や植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と仕切部材との間に、前記仕上材が敷設されることになる。
【００１１】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記除去部分における前記植物育成材の表面に嫌根部材が埋設され、該嫌根部材の上面に前記仕上材が敷設されていることを特徴とする。従って、前記嫌根部材の上面や植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と仕切部材との間に、前記仕上材が敷設されることになる。
【００１２】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記仕上材の少なくとも表面がバインダー処理されていることを特徴とする。
【００１３】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記仕切部材が縁石若しくは建物の壁若しくはパラペットであることを特徴とする。
【００１４】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と前記仕切部材の外周縁との間に給水管が配設されていることを特徴とする。
【００１５】
また、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造において、前記植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と前記仕切部材の外周縁との間に給排水機構が設けられていることを特徴とする。例えば、上記のような給水管を配設する、前記仕切部材や前記ボーダー下地材の一方或いは双方の所要箇所に切欠部を形成する等により、前記給排水機構を設ける。
【００１６】
【作用】
上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造では、敷設面上で該植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と仕切部材との間に空間部を形成し、該空間部に仕上材を敷き詰め、望ましくは植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の高さと略同一面になるように仕上材を敷き詰めることで、成長した植物の枝、葉等は仕切部材を乗り越えることがなく、仕上材の上面に乗ることになり、高い施工性を有しつつ植物栽培領域の美観を損なうことがない。特に、芝生等の地被植物の栽培領域においては、極めて有効である。
【００１７】
更に、上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造では、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の凹凸部分に左右されることなく、仕上材を敷き詰めることにより、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の凹凸部分を吸収処理することができ、円弧等の曲線形成も容易な高い施工性を有しつつ、植物栽培領域の外観体栽を整えることができる。
【００１８】
また、ボーダー下地材を配設する上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造においても、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の所要箇所における敷設面上にボーダー下地材を配設し、そのボーダー下地材の上方に空間部を形成し、その空間部に望ましくは植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の高さまで仕上材を敷き詰めるので、上記と同様に成長した植物の枝・葉等は仕切部材を乗り越えることがなく、仕上材の上面に乗ることになり、高い施工性を有しつつ植物栽培領域の美観を損なうことがない。特に芝生等の地被植物の栽培領域において極めて有効である。
【００１９】
そして、この場合にも植物栽培コンテナ群の凹凸部分に沿って切断加工容易なボーダー下地材を配設し、植物栽培コンテナ群の凹凸部分を吸収処理することができ、その上部に敷き詰める仕上材によって、円弧等の曲線形成も容易な高い施工性を有しつつ、植物栽培領域の外観体栽を整えることができる。
【００２０】
また、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁付近の植物を除去するボーダー部処理構造では、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁の上端部及び前記空間部が望ましくは前記仕切部材と略同一面上となるように仕上材で覆われることになるので、植物栽培コンテナの上端部が露出することがなく、美観を損なうことがない。このとき、芝生等の地被植物の栽培領域においては、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁に目土をする必要がなく、植栽・施工作業が容易となる。この場合も、上記同様に植物栽培コンテナ群の凹凸部分を吸収処理でき、円弧等の曲線形成も極めて容易に行える。
【００２１】
また、嫌根部材を使用する上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造では、仕切部材から植物栽培領域にかけて所定幅寸法内に位置する植物栽培コンテナ内の栽培植物を除去し、この除去部分の植物育成材の表面に嫌根部材を埋設するので、該嫌根部材の内側に位置する栽培植物の根が嫌根部材の周囲に根張りするのを抑制できる。特に、芝生等の地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。尚、上記嫌根部材の上面には望ましくは、前記仕切部材と略同一面となるように仕上材が敷き詰められているので、外観上の美観を損なうことがない。
【００２２】
また、前記仕上材として様々なものが考えられるが、例えば玉砂利等の粒体を使用する場合に、少なくとも敷き詰められた仕上材の表面をバインダー処理するので、雨風、人等の外からの力により、散乱することがなく、長期間に亘って美観を維持することが可能となる。
【００２３】
また、給水管を配設する上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造では、仕上材内部又はボーダー下地材の上部、内部或いは下部又は仕切部材の内部或いは下部に給水管を配設することになるため、その給水管の所要箇所よりＴ分岐して植物栽培コンテナ群内の植物育成材に水分を供給する構造とすることが極めて容易となる。即ち、仕上材内部又はボーダー下地材の領域内又は仕切部材の領域内を給水管配設領域として利用するものであり、潅水に優れた構造を効率よく良好な作業性で実現することができる。
【００２４】
また、切欠部を形設する上記植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造では、かかる切欠部が溝状に植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁に連通するように形成された場合は、植物栽培領域内への給水管の導入口、或いは植物栽培領域内の余剰水の排出溝として役割を果たし、効果的である。尚、植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁と最外側に配設した仕切部材との間の空間部を仕上材のみで処理した場合は、降雨等による余剰水は仕上材の透き間を伝わって敷設面に達するので、仕切部材にのみ溝状の切欠部を形成すればよい。
【００２５】
また、切欠部をボーダー下地材の植物栽培コンテナ群との接触面の下部、或いは仕切部材との接触面の下部に形成した場合は、敷設面に伝わった余剰水の排水を予め複数設けられた前記仕切部材の切欠部の内の何れの切欠部を介しても外方へ導くことができ、排水効果を向上し、効果的である。また、前記仕切部材に設けられた切欠部とボーダー下地材に設けられた切欠部とを合わせる必要がなく、施工性に優れ、効果的である。
【００２６】
また、切欠部が溝状に仕切部材の内方側面、或いはボーダー下地材の所要箇所に植物栽培コンテナ群の外周縁に沿って形成された場合は、給水管配設用切欠部として空間が形成され、給水管の配設場所としての役割を果たし、効果的である。
【００２７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を具体的な実施形態に基づいて説明するが、本発明はかかる実施形態によって限定されるものではない。
【００２８】
本発明による植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造の第一実施形態を図１に示す。本ボーダー部処理構造は、ビルの屋上、ベランダ等の敷設面２０上に植物栽培コンテナ１を所要数敷設し、所要数の敷設で形成された植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周に所定間隔を置いて仕切部材２を配設し、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に形成される空間部に仕上材３を敷き詰めることで構成される。尚、第一実施形態のボーダー部処理構造の各種材質及び基本構成は後述する実施形態においても同様である。
【００２９】
植物栽培コンテナ１は平面視方形状で、植物栽培コンテナ群１０を構成する各植物栽培コンテナ１内には、人工軽量土壌等の植物育成材４（培土）が詰め込まれ、植物育成材４には植物５が植え込まれている。このような植物育成材４、植物５を有する植物栽培コンテナ群１０は、全体として植物栽培領域を形成している。
【００３０】
上記植物栽培領域形成のための植物栽培コンテナ１は、植物栽培コンテナ１を直接敷設面２０に敷設する上面給水方式のものであるが、後述する下部に貯水トレーを敷いた方式のもの、全面潅水方式のもの、芯線などによる吸水媒体介在方式のものなど適宜で、かかるコンテナ方式に限定されるものではない。又、植物栽培コンテナ群１０は、上面視形状が方形、三角形、六角形等の多角形の植物栽培コンテナ１で形成、或いは多種形状・大きさの植物栽培コンテナ１で形成されるなど適宜である。
【００３１】
仕切部材２は、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周の所要箇所で、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａから所定間隔離れた外側に配設される。この所定間隔は、少なくとも植物栽培コンテナ群１０の敷設で形成された凹凸部分により、距離を有することが必要である。周設された仕切部材２の高さは、植物栽培コンテナ群外周縁１０ａの上端部の高さと同一か、又はそれより高くなっている。仕切部材２の材質は、例えばコンクリート、レンガ、プラスチック、木材等で、風雨により移動しない重量があれば適宜である。
【００３２】
仕上材３は、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置する空間部に敷き詰められるが、望ましくは植物栽培コンテナ群外周縁１０ａの高さまで敷き詰めるとよい。この高さまで敷き詰めることにより、仕上材３の内側に位置する植物栽培コンテナ群外周縁１０ａの凹凸部分は仕上材３により吸収処理され、仕上材３の外側に位置する仕切部材２と相まって、最外側のボーダー部分を外観体栽よく仕上げることができる。
【００３３】
仕上材３の材質としては、粒状のものであれば玉砂利、粗砂、人工石、ゴムチップ、バークチップ、ガラス玉等、板状のものであればコンクリート、レンガ、プラスチック、木材、ゴム、ガラスや、前記粒状のものを予めバインダー処理したもの等、又は人工芝、造花等をユニット化したもの等が考えられ、美的感覚を有し、表装材の役割を果たすものであれば適宜である。特に上記粒状の仕上材３を使用する場合は、風雨により移動しない重量のものを使用するか、少なくとも表面をバインダー処理することが望ましい。このバインダー処理する場合は、敷き詰められた仕上材３の表面にバインダー溶液（エポキシ樹脂等）を散布し、又は、予めバインダー溶液と混合しておいた仕上材３を敷き詰め、自然或いは強制乾燥させることにより行うことができる。また、上記板状のものを使用する場合は、表面を彫刻、絵画、写真、広告等様々な装飾を付すことにより、装飾性を向上させると好適である。
【００３４】
尚、図示例で仕上材３の中に埋設して鎖線で示したのは、所要箇所に配設する給水管６であり、後述する給水用本管からの導水を各植物栽培コンテナ１内に給水するものである。
【００３５】
上記ボーダー部処理構造とすることにより、成長した植物の枝、葉、芝生等の地被植物等は仕切部材２を乗り越えることがなく、仕上材３の上面に乗ることになるので、高い施工性を有しつつ植物栽培領域の高度な美観を実現しうる。更に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａの凹凸部分を吸収処理することができ、植物栽培領域の外観体栽を整えることができる。
【００３６】
ここで、上記ボーダー部処理構造を変形し、図２示例の第二実施形態の如く構成してもよい。
【００３７】
本実施形態では、仕切部材２から植物栽培領域にかけて、所定幅寸法以内に位置する各植物栽培コンテナ１内の植物５を除去している。植物５を除去した部分で植物育成材４の表面には、栽培植物５の根が周囲に根張りすることを抑制する嫌根部材７を埋設する。嫌根部材７の材質としては、軟質塩化ビニル、天然ゴム、シール材などカッターナイフ等で容易に切断可能な材質であることが好ましく、その使用に当たっては栽培植物５との相性を適宜考慮する。
【００３８】
そして、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置する空間に仕上材３を敷き詰められると共に、栽培植物５を除去した植物育成材４（培土）の表面で嫌根部材７の上面にも仕上材３を敷き詰められ、これら敷き詰められた仕上材３の上面は略同一平面に形成されている。このとき、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａ上端部分も、仕上材３で覆われる構成である。この仕上材３の表面は前記仕切部材２の上端面と略同一平面に形成されると好適である。
【００３９】
このように、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａの上端部は仕上材３で覆われるので、植物栽培コンテナ１の上端部が露出することなく、美観を損なうことがない。特に、芝生等の地被植物の栽培領域においては、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａ付近に目土をする必要がなくなり、植栽・施工作業が容易となる。又、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周部分に形成される凹凸を吸収処理でき、従って円弧等の曲線形状でボーダー部を形成することも極めて容易となる。
【００４０】
又、栽培植物５の除去部分において植物育成材４に嫌根部材７を埋設するので、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根が嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りすることを抑制できる。これは、特に芝生などの地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。嫌根部材７の上面には仕上材３が敷き詰められるので、外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００４１】
さらに、ボーダー下地材を使用する第三実施形態のボーダー部処理構造について説明する（図３）。
【００４２】
本実施形態の植物栽培コンテナ群１０は、底面潅水方式の植物栽培領域を形成しており、図３に示す如く、ビルの屋上・ベランダ等の敷設面上に上面が開口した方形の貯水トレー１ａを敷き詰め、その上部に同一外形の方形植物栽培コンテナ１を配設して植物栽培コンテナ群１０を形成し、植物栽培コンテナ群１０内には植物育成材４（人工軽量土壌などの培土）を詰め込み、植物育成材４に植物５を植え込んでいる。
【００４３】
そして、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに近接或いは接して、所要箇所に所定形状のボーダー下地材８を配設する。ボーダー下地材８の高さは、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａ上端部の高さを超えないものであれば好適である。ボーダー下地材８の材質としては、プラスチック製の発泡材（例えば、発泡ウレタン、発泡スチロール、発泡ゴムなど）、プラスチック材、天然ゴム材、種々薄いものを適宜選定して積層させたもの等で、カッターナイフ等で容易に切断可能な材質であれば適宜である。
【００４４】
ボーダー下地材８の外側には、その側面に近接或いは接して、植物栽培コンテナ外周縁１０ａの上端部と同一か或いはそれ以上の高さを有する仕切部材２が配設されており、植物栽培コンテナ外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に挟まれたボーダー下地材８の上方には空間部が形成され、この空間部に仕上材３が敷き詰められている。仕切部材２及び仕上材３の材質、及び植物栽培領域形成のための植物栽培コンテナ１の形状、種類、方式等については、第一実施形態で説明したものと同様である。
【００４５】
ボーダー下地材８の上面には、凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａが植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに沿って形設されており、前記切欠部８ａには仕上材３が敷き詰められる前に鎖線示の給水管６が配設される。この給水管６からＴ分岐した給水支管６ａの端部は、貯水トレー１ａ内に配管され、ここから給水が行われる。
【００４６】
上記ボーダー部処理構造では、底面潅水方式の植物栽培領域を形成した場合にも適切な給水を確保することが可能であり、更にボーダー下地材８は一般に軽量且つ安価であることから、これを使用することで敷き詰める仕上材３の量を節約して植栽設備コストを低減することができる。
【００４７】
ここで、上記ボーダー部処理構造を変形し、図４示例の第四実施形態の如く構成してもよい。
【００４８】
本実施形態は第二実施形態と同様に、仕切部材２から植物栽培領域にかけて、所定幅寸法以内に位置する各植物栽培コンテナ１内の植物５を除去しており、植物５を除去した部分で植物育成材４の表面には、栽培植物５の根が周囲に根張りすることを抑制する嫌根部材７が埋設されている。
【００４９】
そして、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８の上方に空間部を形成し、この空間部に仕上材３が敷き詰められ、栽培植物５を除去した植物育成材４（培土）の表面で嫌根部材７の上面にも仕上材３を敷き詰められて、これら敷き詰められた仕上材３の上面は略同一平面に形成される。当然、植物栽培コンテナ外周縁１０ａ上端部分も仕上材３で覆われる。
【００５０】
ボーダー下地材８の上面には凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａが植物栽培コンテナ群の１０外周縁１０ａに沿って形設されており、前記切欠部８ａには仕上材３が敷き詰められる前に鎖線示の給水管６が配設される。この給水管６からＴ分岐した給水支管６ａの端部は、貯水トレー１ａ内に配管され、ここから給水が行われる。
【００５１】
従って、図２示例と同様、嫌根部材７が配設されたことにより、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根が嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りすることを抑制できる。特に、芝生等の地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。嫌根部材７の上面には仕上材３が敷き詰められているので、外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００５２】
また、第四実施形態の変形例として、ボーダー下地材８を二重とする場合を図５示例の第五実施形態の如く構成してもよい。
【００５３】
本例では、植物栽培コンテナ群１０と仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８を二重としており、２つのボーダー下地材８の対向する内面の対応位置に、それぞれ略半円凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａが形設され、重ね合わせた際には全体として略円筒形を形成する。前記切欠部８ａで形成された円筒溝内には、鎖線示の如く給水管６を配設する。給水管６からＴ分岐して貯水トレー１ａに給水する構成は、第三・第四実施形態と同様である。
【００５４】
そして、この場合も図２、図４示例と同様、仕切部材２より植物栽培領域にかけて、所定幅寸法内に位置する植物栽培コンテナ１内の栽培植物５を除去した部分で、植物育成材４の表面部分に嫌根部材７を配設している。従って、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根が嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りすることを抑制でき、特に芝生等の地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。嫌根部材７の上方に位置する空間部には仕上材３が敷き詰められるので外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００５５】
また、第五実施形態の変形例として、図６示例の第六実施形態の如く、ボーダー下地材８の上端部と植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａの上端部を略同一平面とし、ボーダー下地材８から嫌根部材７にかけての上方に位置する空間部に、板状体の仕上材３を敷き詰めるようにしてもよい。
【００５６】
本例では、第五実施形態同様に植物栽培コンテナ群１０と仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８を二重としており、２つのボーダー下地材８の対向する内面の対応位置に、それぞれ略半円凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａが形設され、重ね合わせた際には全体として略円筒形を形成する。前記切欠部８ａで形成された円筒溝内には、鎖線示の如く給水管６を配設する。給水管６からＴ分岐して貯水トレー１ａに給水する構成は、第三、第四及び第五実施形態と同様である。そして、この場合も図２、図４、図５示例同様、仕切部材２より植物栽培領域にかけて、所定幅寸法内に位置する植物栽培コンテナ１内の栽培植物５を除去した部分で植物育成材４の表面部分に嫌根部材７を配設している。
【００５７】
従って、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根が嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りすることを抑制することができ、特に芝生等の地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。また嫌根部材７の上方に位置する空間部には仕上材３が敷き詰められるので外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００５８】
さらに本例では、ボーダー下地材８の上端部を植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａの上端部とを略同一平面に形成し、この平面上に板状体の仕上材３を載置するよう構成されているが、前記仕上材３の上端面は、前記仕切部材２の上端面と略同一平面に形成することが好適であり、より外観上の美観に優れたボーダー部処理を行うことができる。また、仕上材３は板状体で形成されているため、外力に対して散乱することがなく、特にゴムチップ等を予めバインダー処理することにより形成されたゴム状の板状体であれば、植物栽培領域内での遊戯或いは歩行時の安全性を向上することができる。
【００５９】
また、第四実施形態の変形例として、図７示例の第七実施形態の如く、前述の上下に二重に載置されたボーダー下地材８を一体形成して、このボーダー下地材８の植物栽培コンテナ群１０との接触面に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに沿って凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａを形成し、前記切欠部８ａを給水管６の配設用空間部とする構成してもよい。
【００６０】
本例では、第五及び第六実施形態の植物栽培コンテナ群１０と仕切部材２との間に位置する二重のボーダー下地材８を一体形成して、このボーダー下地材８の植物栽培コンテナ群１０との接触面に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに沿って凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａが形成され、前記切欠部８ａと植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａとの間に給水管６の配設用空間部が形成され、鎖線示の如く給水管６を配設する。給水管６からＴ分岐して貯水トレー１ａに給水する構成は、第三、第四、第五、第六実施形態と同様である。
【００６１】
そして、この場合も図２、図４、図５、図６示例同様、仕切部材２より植物栽培領域にかけて、所定幅寸法内に位置する植物栽培コンテナ１内の栽培植物５を除去した部分で、植物育成材の表面部分に嫌根部材７を配設している。従って、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根が嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りすることを抑制でき、特に芝生等の地被植物に対しては極めて有効である。嫌根部材７の上方に位置する空間部には仕上材３が敷き詰められるので外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００６２】
また、図８示例の第八実施形態の如く、給水管６を配設するための凹形の配設用空間部を形成する場所を変更し、仕切部材２の内側側面において給水管用切欠部２ｃを植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに沿って形成してもよい。
【００６３】
本例では、第三実施形態と同様に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０と仕切部材２との間にボーダー下地材８を配設し、前記仕切部材２の内側側面に凹形の給水管用切欠部２ｃを形成し、前記切欠部２ｃに鎖線示の如く給水管６を配設する。この給水管６からＴ分岐してボーダー下地材８上に配設された給水支管６ａを介して貯水トレー１ａに給水する。
【００６４】
以上のように、第五乃至第八実施形態のボーダー部処理構造を使用することにより、給水管に対する外力を極力抑えることができ、長期に亘って給水を良好に行うことができるようになる。
【００６５】
また、ボーダー下地材８に給水管用切欠部８ａを形成すると共に、排水用切欠部を形成する場合について説明する。
【００６６】
例えば、図９乃至図１２示例の第九実施形態の如く、ボーダー下地材８の下部４辺に面取りを施した排水用切欠部８ｂを形成する。そして、図９に示すように下方に於いて断面略台形に排水用切欠部８ｂが形成されているボーダー下地材８を、図１０に示すように、対向させて複数敷設する。このとき、ボーダー下地材８の接触面下方の前記排水用切欠部８ｂが対向することにより、略三角形の排水用凹路８１が形成される。さらに図１１及び図１２に示すように、仕切部材２の下端にも略三角形の排水用凹路２１を形成する。これにより、排水用空間部である排水用凹路８１、２１を介して植物栽培領域の排水が行われ、植物栽培領域からの排水効果が増大する。
【００６７】
図１１及び図１２示例は上記第三乃至第八実施形態示例同様に、仕切部材２と植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａとの間にボーダー下地材８を配設し、このボーダー下地材８の上方に空間部が形成され、この空間部に仕上材３が敷き詰められる構成であり、本例では特に、貯水トレー１ａの外周縁とボーダー下地材８との間、及び仕切部材２とボーダー下地材８との間、及びボーダー下地材８相互の間に排水用空間部が形成され、この排水用空間部により、図示奥行き方向或いは手前方向に流水可能となっている。
【００６８】
本例を使用することにより、排水効果が増大すると共に、仕切部材２に複数設けられた排水用凹路２１等の排水用空間部の内の１つが詰まったりした場合でも、他の排水用凹路２１等の排水用空間部へ流水可能であるため、排水口の詰まりによる排水不能状態を解消することができる。
【００６９】
また、ボーダー下地材８の排水用切欠部８ｂからなる排水用凹路８１と仕切部材２の排水用凹路２１の位置を合わす必要がなく、また、複数敷設された貯水トレー１ａのオーバーフローする場所を限定する必要がなく、どこからでもオーバーフローした排水を植物栽培領域外へ排出することが可能となり、施工性に優れたボーダー部処理構造を提供することができる。
【００７０】
本例は、上記構成にすると好適であると言うだけであり、上記構成内の例えば図１３示例の如く、ボーダー下地材８の排水用切欠部８ｂを一部に形成し、仕切部材２とボーダー下地材８との間の排水用空間部である排水用凹路８１をなくす構成としてもよい。
【００７１】
次に、上述したボーダー部処理構造の施工例について、幾つか説明する。
【００７２】
図１４は第三実施形態のボーダー部処理構造の施工例を示す一部切欠平面図である。本施工例では、平面形状方形の植物栽培コンテナ１及び貯水トレー１ａを敷設面２０に複数個敷き詰めて、全体として平面方形状の植物栽培コンテナ群１０を形成している。この植物栽培コンテナ群１０内には前記と同様に植物育成材４（培土）が詰め込まれ、適宜植物５（図示せず）が植え込まれ植物栽培領域が形成されている。
【００７３】
そして、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の全周に亘ってボーダー下地材８が設けられ、更にその外周に仕切部材２が配設されている。植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８の上面には、仕上材３が敷き詰められ、仕上材３の上面は植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａ上端部と略同一平面に形成されている。従って、上から視た外観上は、内側から順に植物栽培領域部分、その全周に仕上材３部分、更にその全周に仕切部材２部分が形成されている。
【００７４】
仕上材３の下方に位置するボーダー下地材８の下部、及び仕切部材２の下部の所要適宜箇所には、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに連通する排水用の切欠からなる排水用凹路８１、２１が形成され、排水用空間部となっている。又、太線の鎖線示及び実戦示はボーダー下地材８の上面に形成された略凹形の給水管用切欠部８ａに配設された給水管６であり、この給水管の本管６ｂは、ボーダー下地材８及び仕切部材２に連通して形成した給水管導通用切欠部９の適宜箇所から導通することができるようになっている。一方において排水用凹路８１、２１は、降雨などの余剰水の排水溝としての役割をも果たす。
【００７５】
給水管６は、本図示例には示していないが、所要箇所において、図３乃至図８で鎖線示にて示したとおり、Ｔ分岐して給水支管６ａの端部から貯水トレー１ａに導水する構成である。
【００７６】
また、図１５は第四実施形態のボーダー部処理構造の施工例を示す一部切欠平面図である。本施工例では、敷設面２０に平面形状方形の植物栽培コンテナ１及び貯水トレー１ａを複数敷き詰め、全体として平面方形状の植物栽培コンテナ群１０を形成している。この植物栽培コンテナ群１０内には、前記施工例と同様に植物育成材４（培土）が詰め込まれ、適宜植物５（図示せず）が植え込まれて植物栽培領域が形成されている。
【００７７】
そして、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の全周に亘ってボーダー下地材８が設けられ、更にその外周に仕切部材２が配設されている。植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８の上部に空間部が形成され、この空間部及び植物栽培コンテナ群１０内の栽培植物５を除去した植物育成材４（培土）の上面部に亘って、仕上材３が敷き詰められ、その上面は略同一平面に形成されている。当然、植物栽培コンテナ外周縁１０ａの上端部も仕上材３で覆われる。従って、上から視た外観上は、内側から順に植物栽培領域部分、その全周に仕上材３部分、更にその全周に仕切部材２部分が形成されている。
【００７８】
ボーダー下地材８及び仕切部材２の下部の所要箇所に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａに連通する排水用凹路８１、２１の形設、給水管６の配設、本管６ｂの導通などについては、上記図１４示例で説明した通りである。
【００７９】
尚、図２、図４、図５、図６、図７示例の如く、植物栽培コンテナ群１０内の栽培植物５を除去した部分には、嫌根部材７が配設されているので、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根、特に芝生等の地被植物の根が、嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りするのを抑制し、嫌根部材７の上面には仕上材３が敷き詰められるので、外観上の美観を損なうことがない。
【００８０】
次に上記ボーダー部処理構造によるボーダー部分の処理について、より詳細に例示を挙げて説明する。
【００８１】
図１６は植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周部分が凹凸である、直線ボーダー処理例を示す一部切欠平面図である。本例におけるボーダー部処理構造は、給水管６の配設がないことを除いて、基本的に図４、図５、図６又は図７示例と同様であるが、本例においても給水管６を配設することは当然可能である。
【００８２】
本例ではビルの屋上、ベランダなどの敷設面２０上に、方形の貯水トレー１ａ（図示せず）を敷き詰め、その上部に同一外形の方形植物栽培コンテナ１を配設して植物栽培コンテナ群１０を形成し、植物栽培コンテナ群１０内に人工軽量土壌等の植物育成材４（培土）を詰め込み、植物５（図示せず）を植え込んで底面潅水方式等の植物栽培領域を形成している。
【００８３】
ここで、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａによって形成される外周形状は、凹凸連続形状であり、この外周部分には、内側面を前記凹凸形状に合致する鋸歯形状とし外側面を直線形状としたボーダー下地材８を配設している。ボーダー下地材８の外側面部分には、植物栽培コンテナ上端部と同一か又はそれ以上の高さを有する仕切部材２を配設している。
【００８４】
そして、ボーダー部を処理する場合には、仕切部材２から植物栽培領域にかけて、所定寸法内に位置する植物栽培コンテナ群１０内の栽培植物５を除去し、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａと仕切部材２との間に位置する鋸歯形状のボーダー下地材８の上面、及び植物栽培コンテナ群１０内の栽培植物５を除去した植物育成材４（培土）の上面に亘って、仕上材３を上面が略同一平面になるように敷き詰める。このとき、植物栽培コンテナ外周縁１０ａの上端部も仕上材３で覆われることになる。
【００８５】
これより、ボーダー部処理構造は完成し、鋸歯形状の植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周部分は、その外側に介在配置された一側が鋸歯形状のボーダー下地材８により吸収処理され、最外側に位置する仕切部材２は直線形状に形成され、外観上、極めて体栽がよい状態となる。
【００８６】
尚、本例においても、図２、図４、図５、図６、図７及び図１５示例のごとく、栽培植物５を除去した部分で、植物育成材４の表面に嫌根部材７を配設するとよい。かかる嫌根部材７によって、嫌根部材７の内側に位置する栽培植物５の根、特に芝生等の地被植物の根が、嫌根部材７の周囲に根張りするのを抑制でき、嫌根部材７の上面には仕上材３が敷き詰められてるので外観上の美観を損なうこともない。
【００８７】
また、図１７は植物栽培領域が９０度の円弧状を形成するボーダー部処理構造の実施例である。本例における植物栽培コンテナ群１０は、平面形状方形の植物栽培コンテナ１の所要数と、前記植物栽培コンテナ１の４分の１の平面形状方形の植物栽培コンテナ１を３個と、直角二等辺三角形の植物栽培コンテナ１を２個とを、敷設面上に敷き詰めることにより形成されている。形成された植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａで形成される外周部分は、凹凸形状となる。この凹凸形状部分は、以下のボーダー部処理構造を構成する手順で、円弧状に処理される。
【００８８】
まず、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａで形成される凹凸状円弧部分よりも、所要箇所において所定寸法外側に離れた位置に、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａよりも高い仕切部材２を円弧状に形設する。そして、仕切部材２の内側面と、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の凹凸外周部分との空隙部分（空間部分）に、各部分の所定形状に切り欠き加工した植物栽培コンテナ群１０の外周縁１０ａ上端部を越えない高さのボーダー下地材８（図示せず）を敷き詰める。
【００８９】
その後、植物栽培コンテナ群１０の凹凸外周部分と仕切部材２との間に位置するボーダー下地材８の上面、及び植物栽培コンテナ１内の栽培植物５を除去した植物育成材４（培土）の上面部に亘って、仕上材３を上面が略同一平面を形成するように敷き詰める。このように構成されたボーダー部処理構造で、仕切部材２の内部に位置する植物栽培領域は９０度の円弧状に形成されて、見栄えが非常に良くなる。
【００９０】
尚、本発明で使用する仕切部材の形状は適宜であり、図１８には上記実施形態に適用できる仕切部材２の例示を示す。図１８（ａ）は中空柱状５連の仕切部材２、図１８（ｂ）は少なくとも上部中空の柱状仕切部材２で、その上端における対向部分には各々連結用切欠部２ａが形設され、隣接する柱状仕切部材の連結用切欠部２ａに鞍状連結部材２ｂを嵌合し、相互に連結する構成である。図１８（ｃ）は図１８（ｂ）の例において仕切部材２を方形形状としたものである。図１８（ｂ）及び図１８（ｃ）の構成例では、仕切部材の連結用切欠部２ａに鞍状連結部材２ｂを嵌合するときに、余裕を持って嵌合できる構成とすることにより、仕切部材２を曲線状に連結して円弧を形成することもできる。
【００９１】
又、図１８（ｄ）は独立柱状の仕切部材２で、直線形成、曲線形成等あらゆる形状を形成できるものである。また、図１８（ｅ）は側面に給水管用切欠部２ｃを形成し、給水管６を配設可能に構成した仕切部材２である。その他、種々の仕切部材２があるが、これらを適宜選定し、組み合わせて仕切部材２として適用することができる。
【００９２】
尚、仕切部材２の固定が必要な場合は、仕切部材２の内側に位置するボーダー下地材８の側面と仕切部材２の側面、或いは仕切部材２と敷設面２０とを接着剤等で固定してもよい。
【００９３】
以上、本発明の種々の実施形態について説明したが本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、以下のような拡張及び変形をすることができる。例えば、上記実施形態では、嫌根部材７を平板状に形成したが、断面略Ｌ字形に屈曲させ、屈曲部を植物育成材４に差込む構成にしてもよく、この場合は、根張りをより抑制することが可能となる。
【００９４】
また、上記種々の実施形態は、単独のみの構成に限定されるものではなく、種々の実施形態の組み合わせによる実施形態も本発明に含まれる。
【００９５】
また、上記実施形態で貯水トレー１ａを使用した実施形態について説明したが、上記貯水トレー１ａ間に流水路を形成し、貯水トレー１ａ間を流水可能に構成すると、好適であり、少なくとも一つの貯水トレー１ａに給水すれば全ての貯水トレー１ａに給水が行き渡り、給水作業を低減することができる。
【００９６】
また、本実施形態例については、仕切部材２として一般的に使用される縁石を用いて説明したが、本発明の仕切部材２は縁石に限定されるものではなく、敷設面上に予め備えられている建築物の壁或いはパラペットなど、仕切部材２として使用できるものであれば仕切部材２の概念に包含される。
【００９７】
上記植物栽培コンテナ群１０等からなる植物栽培領域は、少なくとも一つ以上の植物栽培コンテナ１を敷設可能な面積がある場所であれば如何なる大きさ、形状の敷設面に対しても形成することができるが、本発明のボーダー部処理構造を使用することにより、その美的に優れた外観をボーダー部においても保持することが可能となる。また前記植物栽培領域は、敷設面上で植物栽培領域を形成しようとする場所において、如何なる位置からでも植物栽培コンテナ１の敷設を開始して形成することが可能であり、最後に本発明のボーダー部処理構造を使用して植物栽培コンテナ群１０と仕切部材２との間の空間を処理し、美的に優れた外観をボーダー部において保持することとなるので、施工性にも優れている。
【００９８】
【発明の効果】
本発明による植物栽培領域のボーダー部処理構造は上記構成であるから、植物栽培コンテナの組み合わせ、ビルの屋上等の規定範囲内に植物栽培コンテナ群を敷設する場合に、敷設した植物栽培コンテナ群の外周部分を仕上材により、優れた美観を有する外観に処理することを可能とし、且つ高度な施工性を実現できるという効果を奏する。
【００９９】
また、前記仕上材の少なくとも表面をバインダー処理してなるため、外力に対して仕上材が散乱することがなく、長期間に亘って前記美観を維持することができる。

In order to solve the above problems with the conventional border processing structure using a curb, it is usually necessary to prepare a variety of plant cultivation containers, such as a plan view square, a triangle, an arc of various angles, and the like, In the structure in which the border portion is processed using such various plant cultivation containers, it is actually difficult to address the above problem from the viewpoint of cost and the like.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been developed from a different point of view, apart from the conventional technical idea, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a combination of a polygonal plant cultivation container having one or several shapes or sizes in plan view, and a building. When laying a plant cultivation container group within a prescribed range such as a rooftop, a border processing structure of a plant cultivation area is provided which does not impair the appearance of the outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group and is easy to construct. The purpose is to do.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The border processing structure of the plant cultivation area according to the present invention is provided with a plant cultivation container group including a required number of plant cultivation containers laid on the laying surface, and at a predetermined interval from the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group. And a finishing material laid between the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the partition member. That is, a finishing material is laid in a space formed between the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the partition member. In addition, the partition member provided at a predetermined interval from the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group is provided over the entire outer peripheral edge or at a required position.
[0009]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region, a border base material may be provided below the finishing material laid between the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the partition member. Features. Therefore, the finishing material is laid in the space formed above the border base material.
[0010]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region, the plant cultivation container is filled with a plant cultivation material and plants are planted, and a predetermined width dimension from the partition member near an outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group. The plant located inside is removed, and a finishing material is laid on the removed portion. Therefore, the finishing material will be laid between the removed portion and the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the partition member.
[0011]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region, a root-free member is embedded in a surface of the plant growing material in the removed portion, and the finishing material is laid on an upper surface of the root-free member. I do. Therefore, the finishing material is laid between the partition member and the upper surface of the root-free member or the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group.
[0012]
Further, in the above-mentioned border part treatment structure of the plant cultivation area, at least the surface of the finishing material is subjected to a binder treatment.
[0013]
Further, in the above-described border processing structure of the plant cultivation area, the partition member is a curb, a wall of a building, or a parapet.
[0014]
Furthermore, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation area, a water supply pipe is provided between an outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group and an outer periphery of the partition member.
[0015]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation area, a water supply / drainage mechanism is provided between an outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group and an outer periphery of the partition member. For example, the water supply / drainage mechanism is provided by arranging a water supply pipe as described above, or forming a cutout in one or both of required portions of the partition member and the border base material.
[0016]
[Action]
In the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region, a space is formed between the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the partition member on the laying surface, and a finishing material is spread over the space, and preferably the plant cultivation container is provided. By laying the finishing material so that it is almost flush with the height of the outer edge of the group, the branches, leaves, etc. of the grown plants will not climb over the partition member, but will ride on the upper surface of the finishing material, and high construction It does not impair the aesthetics of the plant cultivation area while having the property. In particular, it is extremely effective in a cultivation area of a ground covering plant such as a lawn.
[0017]
Furthermore, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region, the finishing material is spread without being influenced by the uneven portion of the outer edge of the plant cultivation container group, thereby absorbing the uneven portion of the outer edge of the plant cultivation container group. Thus, it is possible to form the external appearance of the plant cultivation area while having high workability in which a curve such as an arc can be easily formed.
[0018]
Also, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation area where the border base material is provided, the border base material is provided on the laying surface at a required location on the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group, and the border base material is disposed above the border base material. A space is formed in the space, and the finishing material is preferably spread over the space to the height of the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group, so that the branches and leaves of the plant grown in the same manner as above do not climb over the partition member, Since it rides on the upper surface of the finishing material, it does not impair the beauty of the plant cultivation area while having high workability. Particularly, it is extremely effective in a cultivation area of a ground covering plant such as a lawn.
[0019]
And also in this case, a border base material that can be easily cut is arranged along the uneven portion of the plant cultivation container group, and the uneven portion of the plant cultivation container group can be subjected to absorption treatment, and the finishing material spread over the upper portion thereof In addition, it is possible to adjust the appearance of the plant cultivation area while maintaining high workability in which a curve such as an arc can be easily formed.
[0020]
In the border processing structure for removing plants near the outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group, the upper end portion and the space of the outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group are desirably substantially flush with the partition member. Since it is covered with the finishing material, the upper end of the plant cultivation container is not exposed, and the appearance is not spoiled. At this time, in the cultivation area of the ground covering plant such as lawn, there is no need to cover the outer periphery of the plant cultivation container group, and the planting and construction work is facilitated. In this case as well, the concave and convex portions of the plant cultivation container group can be subjected to the absorption treatment as described above, and a curve such as an arc can be formed very easily.
[0021]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation region using the root-free member, the cultivated plants in the plant cultivation container located within a predetermined width from the partition member to the plant cultivation region are removed, and the plant cultivation of the removed portion is performed. Since the unfavorable root member is buried in the surface of the material, it is possible to suppress the root of the cultivated plant located inside the unfavorable root member from sticking around the unfavorable root member. In particular, it is extremely effective for ground covering plants such as lawns. In addition, since the finishing material is desirably spread over the upper surface of the root member so as to be substantially flush with the partition member, the external appearance is not spoiled.
[0022]
In addition, various types of finishing materials are conceivable.For example, in the case of using granules such as gravel, since at least the surface of the laid finishing material is subjected to a binder treatment, rain wind, external force such as a person, etc. It is possible to maintain the beauty over a long period without scattering.
[0023]
In addition, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation area where the water supply pipe is provided, the water supply pipe is provided inside the finishing material or the upper, inside or lower part of the base material or inside or below the partition member. It is extremely easy to adopt a structure in which water is supplied to the plant growing material in the plant cultivation container group by making a T branch from a required portion of the water supply pipe. That is, the inside of the finishing material, the area of the border base material or the area of the partition member is used as a water supply pipe disposition area, and a structure excellent in irrigation can be efficiently realized with good workability.
[0024]
Further, in the border processing structure of the plant cultivation area forming the cutout, if such a cutout is formed in a groove shape so as to communicate with the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group, the cutout into the plant cultivation area. It functions effectively as an inlet for a water supply pipe or a drain for excess water in a plant growing area. When the space between the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group and the outermost partition member is treated only with the finishing material, surplus water due to rainfall or the like is transmitted along the clearance of the finishing material to the laying surface. Therefore, a groove-shaped notch may be formed only in the partition member.
[0025]
Further, when the cutout portion is formed below the contact surface with the plant cultivation container group of the border base material, or below the contact surface with the partition member, a plurality of drainage of excess water transmitted to the laying surface is provided in advance. Any of the notches of the partition member can be guided outward through any of the notches, and the drainage effect is improved and effective. In addition, there is no need to match the notch provided in the partition member with the notch provided in the border base material, and the workability is excellent and effective.
[0026]
Further, when the notch is formed along the outer peripheral edge of the plant cultivation container group at the inner side surface of the partition member in a groove shape or at a required portion of the border base material, a space is formed as a notch for water supply pipe arrangement. It is effective because it serves as a place for distributing water pipes.
[0027]
