Description

  The present invention relates to a planting pot for external use installed at a boundary between a street and a residential land using relatively low trees.

The boundary is divided along the boundary between the residential land and the street, and trees are planted for scenery. Traditionally, trees for such purposes have been planted on the ground.
JP 2003-143967 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-3084005

It is troublesome to change the trees planted on the ground, and to change the tree species, it is necessary to dig up and remove the existing trees from the roots, which is a troublesome work, and it is easy to change the tree species There wasn't. In addition, when trying to increase the height of the site using trees, it is necessary to wait for the trees to grow, and it is impossible to change them immediately, and the height is limited depending on the trees used. There was a thing.
This invention solves the above-mentioned problem, makes it easy to change the tree species and the height of the tree with respect to the ground, and facilitates the adjustment of the height of the exterior using the tree. It is.

  There are at least two pillars, and a pot whose fixed position can be changed between these pillars, and a plastic fiber crimp mat is laid in the pot. The height of the tree can be changed by moving the pot up and down along the pillar body.

The pot can be fixed in the vertical direction between the pillars, and the height of the tree to the ground can be adjusted by changing the position of the pot fixed to the pillar to match the growth of the tree. . Trees can be waved by installing the exterior pot of the present invention along the street and changing the position of the pot up and down. Since the pot that floats in the air, not from the ground, extends upward, it is possible to make a novel expression and to enrich the spatial design of the tree.
In addition, you can easily change the tree species by replacing the pot according to taste and season, even if the planted tree may die, you can immediately prepare the same growing state, so just before It can be easily repaired to the state.

Example As shown in FIG. 1, four pillars 1 are embedded in foundation concrete 5 formed in the ground at intervals of 40 cm, and are arranged in a quadrangular shape. An anchor member 12 for preventing overturning is provided at the tip of the column 1 and is fixed in the foundation concrete 5.
As shown in FIG. 2, the column body 1 is a member having a hollow square cross section, and is made of an appropriate metal material such as aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. The surface is decorated with a wood grain pattern or natural stones. In this embodiment, a hole for inserting and fixing a steel bar as the anchor member 12 is provided at the tip of the column 1. At the top and bottom of the column 1, holes 13 for wiring a cable for supplying power to the illumination are provided.

A shelf holder 11 for fixing the pot 2 for planting the tree 3 to an appropriate height is provided on one side of the pillar body, and a fixture such as a hook is provided at a desired position of the shelf holder 11. 21 is inserted, and the bottom surface of the pot 2 is supported and fixed by this fixing tool.
In this embodiment, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 3, four pots 1 are arranged in a quadrangular shape, and a pot 2 having a shape in which corners are cut out in accordance with the pillars 1 is formed from the top of the column 1. Insert and fix at the position of the fixture 21.

The pot 2 is fixed to a desired position of the four pillars 1 by a fixture 21. The pot 2 is integrally formed of fiber reinforced resin, light metal aluminum, stainless steel or the like for weight reduction. Or manufactured by welding.
A hole (not shown) is formed in the side wall of the pot 2 to ensure air permeability and drainage. The pot 2 may have a double bottom so that the nutrient solution of the plant is stored.

The pot 2 is filled with a plastic fiber crimp mat instead of soil for weight reduction without filling the soil for growing trees. This plastic fiber crimp mat is, for example, a fiber mat disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3413919, having a density of 0.02 to 0.15 g / cm ³ , a thickness of 1 to 15 cm, and repeated compression recovery. The rate is 80% or more, and commercially available products include “CP Mat (registered trademark)” manufactured by Chisso Corporation. An appropriate plastic fiber crimped mat product is laminated and filled in 1 to 5 layers according to the height of the pot 2. The laminated layers of the mats are simply laminated or integrated and laminated by heat fusion.

  A mat processed into a two-layer structure of a layer having a high fiber density and a layer having a small fiber density in the vertical direction of the mat; Those having a gradient can also be used. The thickness of the plastic fiber crimp mat is 2 to 35 cm, preferably 5 to 30 cm, more preferably 10 to 20 cm.

  The tree 3 to be planted in the pot 2 preferably has a tree height of 50 to 200 cm. The pot 2 has a size of 40 × 40 cm and a height of 20 cm, and the surrounding environment where the pot 2 is installed. Or, select a tree according to your taste.

In order to adjust the height of the pot 2 with respect to the ground, the pot 2 and the plastic fiber crimp mat filled therein are lightweight, so that an operator can lift alone even in a state where trees are planted. Therefore, it is performed by changing the fixing position of the fixing tool 21 in the column 1. FIG. 1 (2) shows a state where the height of the pot is raised from the state of FIG. 1 (1).
A lamp 4 for illuminating the tree 3 is provided inside the column 1, and power is supplied to the lamp 4 through a cable wired inside the column 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the lamp 4 may be provided outside the column body 1. In addition to the trees 3, the lamps 4 can be arranged so as to illuminate the feet.

In the above embodiment, an example in which four pillars are used is shown. However, in the example shown in FIG. 5 (1), two pillars having a square cross section are opposed to each other and fixed to the ground, and opposite sides of the pot 2 are opposed to each other. This is an example in which a notch that fits into the column body 1 is provided.
FIG. 5B is an example in which three columnar bodies 1 having a quadrangular cross section are used and the shape of the pot 2 is a triangle.
Thus, it is sufficient that at least two column bodies 1 are provided, and the pot 2 having a shape adapted to the arrangement of the column bodies 1 can be installed at an appropriate height by the fixture 21.

  FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram of a state in which the exterior pot of the present invention is installed along a street. The exterior pots are arranged at twice the interval of the pillars 1. By using the same tree by placing the same material posts 6 between the external pots and making each pot 2 different in height from the ground, it is possible to obtain a different landscape from the past. It is.
