JP 200945015 A (0021 paragraph, FIG. 2)

  However, in the planting container described in Patent Document 1, the water for planting drained from the overflow pipe of one planting container is stored in the planting container (bottom planting container) disposed below the planting water. Without passing through the section, it entered the overflow tube of the lower planting container as it was, and there was a possibility that watering to the plant planted in the lower planting container would be insufficient.

  Therefore, in view of the problems given by the above-described conventional planting container, the object of the present invention is to ensure that the planting water drained from the overflow pipe is reliably supplied to the water storage section of the lower planting container. It is to provide a planting container.

The characteristic configuration of the planting container according to the present invention is:
It has a planting container body that can be used by stacking up and down,
The planting container body includes a water storage unit capable of storing planting water supplied by water supply means, and a planting space on which a water-absorbing plant flooring can be placed,
An overflow pipe for draining water for planting exceeding a predetermined height is provided in the water reservoir,
Above the upper end of the overflow pipe, there is provided a shielding plate that intersects the axis of the overflow pipe,
The shielding plate is formed to project sideways from the side of the partition plate that partitions the planting spaces adjacent to each other in the lateral direction ,
A connecting portion that extends from the upper end of the overflow pipe to the shielding plate and is connected to the shielding plate is provided, and stands upward continuously along a peripheral edge portion excluding a portion connected to the connecting portion of the shielding plate. And provided guide walls,
When the planting container body is stacked, the planting water drained from the overflow pipe of the planting container body located above flows down to the shielding plate of the planting container body located below. in that it is configured.

  In the planting container according to the above characteristic configuration, even if the planting water that has passed through the overflow pipe of the planting container falls down toward the opening of the overflow pipe of the planting container located below, most of the water Since it is repelled outward by the shielding plate provided so as to intersect with the axis of the overflow pipe, it is correctly supplied to the water storage part of the planting container located below.

In addition, in the planting container having the above-described characteristic configuration, the shape of the planting container and the planting floor material is one as compared with a configuration in which two types of planting containers having different overflow pipe positions are alternately stacked. Manufacturing costs can be kept low.
Furthermore, compared with the structure etc. which attach a separate shielding board to the upper end of an overflow pipe etc., the number of components of a planting container can be decreased.

In addition, in the case of an overflow pipe without a shielding plate, the opening of the overflow pipe that accepts overflowing planting water has a flat shape extending sideways, so that the holes are blocked by the leaves of the plant being cultivated, and the drainage is clogged. There was a tendency that it is easy to cause. However, in the planting container according to the above-described characteristic configuration, since there is a shielding plate on the upper part of the overflow pipe, the opening of the overflow pipe extends in the vertical direction and is continuously curved along the outer periphery of the overflow pipe. Since it becomes planar or polygonal, the opening is not completely blocked by the leaves of the plant being cultivated, and it is difficult to cause drainage clogging.
Further, with this configuration, it is possible to easily realize a shielding plate having sufficient strength compared to a configuration in which a dedicated member for supporting the shielding plate is erected from a part of the overflow pipe. .

  If it is this structure, the water for planting which reached the upper surface of the shielding board will be guide | induced to a connection part by a guide wall part, and can reach a water storage part reliably along the outer peripheral surface of an overflow pipe from a connection part. That is, there is no possibility that the water for planting that has reached the upper surface of the shielding plate reaches the inner surface of the overflow pipe through the edge of the shielding plate.

Another characteristic configuration of the present invention is that a through hole is provided on a side surface near the lower end of the overflow pipe .

If it is this structure, when the water supply to a water storage part is complete | finished, the water for planting which was not absorbed by the planting flooring material and remained in the water storage part will not be left in the water storage part for a long time. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to propagate pests, moths and other microorganisms in the planting flooring material and planting water.

The characteristic configuration of the planting container according to the present invention is:
A water storage unit capable of storing water for planting supplied by water supply means, and a planting space on which water-absorbing planting flooring material can be placed,
An overflow pipe for draining water for planting exceeding a predetermined height is provided in the water reservoir,
Above the upper end of the overflow pipe, there is provided a shielding plate that intersects the axis of the overflow pipe,
A blindfold extending obliquely from the near side of the water storage portion toward the vicinity of the upper end on the back side of the planting space is provided detachably.

  In the planting container according to the above characteristic configuration, when a planting floor material in which a plant is planted in one of the planting spaces is not placed, by attaching a blindfold to the planting space, In particular, it is possible to suppress a feeling of deficiency or a feeling of blank space due to the fact that a planting floor material not planted can be seen and the boundary between the rear surface of the planting space and the water storage unit is visible.

  In the configuration where the blindfold extends from the near side of the water storage part to the vicinity of the upper end of the space for planting, etc. in a generally vertical shape, the entire area from the vicinity of the lower end of the blindfold to the vicinity of the upper end is the same under the same conditions Therefore, the presence of a blindfold becomes too prominent and tends to give an unnatural impression with a flat plate to viewers of plants planted in a planting container. However, in the planting container having the above-described characteristic configuration, the blindfold extends obliquely from the near side of the water storage portion toward the vicinity of the rear side upper end of the planting space, so that it is easy to be brightly illuminated by ambient light. From the vicinity of the bottom edge of the plant, the gradational appearance changes to the vicinity of the top edge of the blindfold that is difficult to be illuminated by the surrounding light because it is retreated backward from the front opening of the planting container, giving a natural impression Can be given.

The characteristic configuration of the planting container according to the present invention is:
A water storage unit capable of storing water for planting supplied by water supply means, and a planting space on which water-absorbing planting flooring material can be placed,
An overflow pipe for draining water for planting exceeding a predetermined height is provided in the water reservoir,
Above the upper end of the overflow pipe, there is provided a shielding plate that intersects the axis of the overflow pipe,
Between the upper end of the planting container and a lid member that closes the upper space of the planting container, the two members can be connected by sliding movement from the front side to the rear of the planting container with respect to the planting container. Locking means are provided,
An opening for receiving an upper supply pipe for supplying planting water from above the lid member to the water reservoir is formed in a slit shape opened toward the rear end of the lid member.

  With this configuration, the lid member can be connected to the upper end of the planting container by simply sliding the lid member from the front side toward the rear with respect to the upper end of the uppermost planting container. Can be easily attached and detached. And since the opening which receives an upper supply pipe is formed in the slit shape open | released toward the rear end of the cover member in the cover member, it already faces the water storage part from the upper part of the uppermost planting container. Even in a state where the upper supply pipe is disposed, the lid member can be attached and detached without removing the upper supply pipe.

It is a front view which shows the whole planting apparatus using the planting container which concerns on this invention. It is a fractured side view showing a plurality of planting containers stacked. It is the perspective view which looked at the planting container from diagonally upward. It is the perspective view which looked at the planting container from diagonally downward. It is a perspective view which shows the some planting container stacked | stacked with the cover member. It is a perspective view which shows a left and right overflow pipe and a shielding board. It is a fractured rear view which shows the effect | action of a shielding board. It is a fracture side view showing a lid member and a planting container at the time of using an upper supply pipe. It is a principal part front view which shows the lower end vicinity of an upper supply pipe | tube. It is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of a cover member.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated, referring drawings.
The planting container according to the present invention includes a planting container body 1 (an example of a planting container) that can be used by stacking up and down, and a lid member 30 that can close an upper opening of the uppermost planting container body 1 ( An example of a planting container). As shown in FIG. 1, the planting container body 1 includes a water storage unit 8 that can store the planting water W, and cooperates with an electric pump 40 that supplies the planting water W to the water storage unit 8. One planting device can be configured.

(Schematic configuration of planting container)
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, each planting container body 1 has a long shape in the lateral direction formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin, and the like, from the bottom wall 3 and one side behind the bottom wall 3. One long side wall 4 standing upward and two short side walls 5 standing upward from the left and right sides of the bottom wall 3 are integrally provided to form a planting space 2 inside. doing. Further, from a part of the upper surface of the bottom wall 3, three partition walls 6 that partition a plurality of planting spaces 2 adjacent to each other in the lateral direction are integrally provided and extend in parallel with the short side wall 5. Yes.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when another planting container body 1 or a lid member 30 is placed on and attached to the upper surface of the planting container body 1, the planting space 2 is divided into a total of 4 by the three partition walls 6. The unit planting space 2a is divided into individual unit planting spaces 2a, and the opening of each unit planting space 2a is positioned on the front surface.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the bottom wall 3 of each unit water reservoir 8a includes a central bottom wall 3a extending generally horizontally near the middle in the front-rear direction, and each unit planting from the front end of the central bottom wall 3a. A front bottom wall 3b inclined upward (inclination angle α) so as to be gradually positioned upward toward the opening side of the working space 2a, and gradually upward from the rear end of the central bottom wall 3a toward the long side wall 4 It has the back bottom wall 3c which inclines back so that it may be located. The central bottom wall 3a, the front bottom wall 3b, the rear bottom wall 3c, the long side wall 4 and the short side wall 5 cooperate with each other to form a water storage portion 8 capable of storing the planting water W supplied by the pump 40. doing.

  The water storage section 8 is also divided into four unit water storage sections 8a in total by the partition wall 6 and is arranged at the lower part of each unit planting space 2a. The unit water storage sections 8a are arranged at the lower part of each partition wall 6. The communication passage 9 that communicates with each other in the lateral direction is formed in a generally rectangular cutout shape.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the plant P is planted on a planting floor material A made of a water-absorbing material such as a sponge placed in each unit planting space 2a. The rear end of the planting floor material A placed in the unit planting space 2a is placed on the rear bottom wall 3c, and the front end of the planting floor material A is generally placed near the front end of the front bottom wall 3b. . In order to secure a sufficiently large rhizosphere, in this embodiment, the value of the inclination angle α is about 55 °, but it is not necessary to limit to this value.

  The planting flooring material A is suitable, for example, by mixing water-retaining filler (peat moss), urethane prepolymer, polyester polyol, and water in a ratio of 100: 120: 1: 800 (all numerical values are parts by weight). It can be prepared by molding into a simple shape. The shape of the planting floor material A is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as a cube, a rectangular parallelepiped, or a columnar shape can be applied.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in a part of the water storage unit 8, the water for planting W exceeding a predetermined height is drained near the boundary between the central bottom wall 3 a and the rear bottom wall 3 c to store the water. An overflow pipe 10 for maintaining the planting water W in the portion 8 below a certain amount is provided so as to protrude upward.
Here, a pair of left and right overflow pipes 10 are provided, which are arranged so as to be integrated with a part of the left and right two partition walls 6 and to straddle the left and right with respect to each partition wall 6. However, the partition wall 6 does not pass through the overflow pipe 10.

Below the overflow pipe 10, a drain pipe 11 for guiding the planting water W that has entered the overflow pipe 10 downward is integrally connected.
On the other hand, behind the partition wall 6 located in the center of the left and right, a guide tube 12 for guiding a water supply hose H2 for pumping up water for planting, which will be described later, upwards along the inner surface of the long side wall 4, and These are integrally provided so as to vertically penetrate the rear bottom wall 3a.

(Connecting means)
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the lower planting container main body 1 is arranged from the inner edge of the lower end of the long side wall 4 so that the plurality of planting container main bodies 1 can be easily stacked one above the other in the correct positional relationship. A thin plate-like convex piece 4 a that is locked to the inner surface of one long side wall 4 is formed to protrude downward. Similarly, from the inner edge part of the lower end of the short side wall 5, the thin plate-like convex piece 5a latched by the inner surface of the short side wall 5 of the lower planting container main body 1 is formed protruding downward.
Further, a small locking projection 18 is formed on a part of the outward face of the convex pieces 4a and 5a, and a penetrating hole that can receive the locking projection 18 is provided at a corresponding portion of the engaging step portions 4b and 5b. A hole 19 is provided. The locking protrusion 18 has an inclined guide surface that protrudes outward as it extends upward.

  That is, the planting container main body 1 is stacked up and down so that the convex pieces 4a and 5a of the upper planting container main body 1 are fitted into the engaging steps 4b and 5b of the lower planting container main body 1, and the vertical direction , The locking projections 18 of the upper planting container body 1 are formed in the engaging recesses 19 of the lower planting container body 1 based on the temporary elastic deformation of the long side wall 4 and the short side wall 5. It is press-fitted and set so that the upper and lower planting container bodies 1 can be easily integrated.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, planting water for fitting / connecting a plurality of stages of planting container bodies 1 on a casing 1 c disposed on a floor surface such as a room and supplying water to each planting container body 1. The water tank 1b for planting which can store W can be implemented with the form arrange | positioned inside the casing 1c.
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the outline shape of the casing 1c in plan view is made common with that of the planting container body 1, and the pump 40 is installed inside the planting water tank 1b, so that The overall appearance is excellent.

  Moreover, since the front bottom wall 3b of each planting container main body 1 is inclined and extended toward the front upper side, the space which the plant installed in the planting container main body 1 of the lower stage can expand | deploy upward. At the same time, the back surface of the front bottom wall 3b forms a ceiling surface that also serves as a plant background when viewed from the front.

(Cover member)
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the lid member 30 that closes the upper opening of the planting container body 1 arranged at the uppermost stage is erected downward from the roof 36 and one side behind the roof 36. And a single long side wall 37 and two short side walls 38 erected downward from the left and right sides of the roof portion 36 are integrally provided.
The roof portion 36 includes a main roof portion 36a that extends generally horizontally forward from the vicinity of the upper end of the long side wall 37, and an auxiliary roof portion 36b that extends in an inclined shape that gradually increases from the front end of the main roof portion 36a toward the front. .

  As can be understood from FIG. 2, the auxiliary roof portion 36 b extends in an inclined manner toward the front upper side in substantially the same manner as the front bottom wall 3 b of the planting container body 1, so that it is arranged at the uppermost stage. A space in which the plant installed in the planting container body 1 can be expanded upward is formed, and constitutes a ceiling surface that also serves as the background of the plant when viewed from the front.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, convex pieces 31 a and 32 a having basically the same shape as the convex pieces 4 a and 5 a of the planting container body 1 are also provided at the lower end of the lid member 30 (an example of a locking means). A locking projection 33 (an example of locking means) is formed on a part of the outward surface of the convex pieces 31a and 32a. However, unlike the connection method between the planting container main bodies 1, the lid member 30 is attached by being fitted in a slide shape from the front to the rear of the planting container main body 1. Therefore, the locking projection 33 of the lid member 30 is provided with an inclined guide surface that protrudes outward toward the front.

(Main flow of planting water)
As shown in FIG. 1, the planting water W drained from the overflow pipe 10 of each planting container body 1 is supplied to the water storage unit 8 of the planting container body 1 adjacent below through the drainage pipe 11. Finally, the water is recovered in the planting water tank 1b through the drainage hose H3 fitted on the drainage pipe 11 connected below the lowermost overflow pipe 10. The inner diameter of the overflow pipe 10 and the drain pipe 11 is about 14 to 15 mm.

  The planting water W collected in the planting water tank 1b is supplied from the joint J1 to the guide hose H1 in the tank connecting the outlet of the pump 40 and the joint J1 installed on the upper surface of the planting water tank 1b. It is used without waste in the form of being supplied to the uppermost planting container main body 1 through the water supply hose H2 guided upward through. The front end of the water supply hose H2 is branched into two on the left and right by the branch joint J2, and is supplied almost uniformly to the left and right unit water storage portions 8a of the uppermost planting container body 1.

Since the planting flooring A is placed with its lower part immersed in the planting water W in the unit water storage part 8a, each planting flooring A absorbs the planting water W while the plant P Planting water W can be supplied to the root R for planting.
In addition, as described above, the front bottom wall 3b on which the planting floor material A is placed is positioned upward as the opening side of each unit planting space 2a and is inclined downward as the side farther from the opening. It is formed on an inclined surface having α.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the planting floor material A is immersed in the planting water W on the side away from the opening, and the opening side is slightly immersed in the planting water W. It will be in the state which is not immersed in the water W. That is, a large root zone where the root R of the plant grows and grows can be secured, and a sufficient amount of water for planting W is supplied to the root zone. Growth is ensured.

(Drain hole configuration)
As shown in FIG. 3, in order to drain the planting water W remaining in the water storage unit 8 in a relatively short time after supplying a necessary amount of moisture to the planting flooring A near the lower end of the overflow pipe 10. The drain hole 20 is provided. Therefore, when the water supply to the water storage unit 8 by the pump 40 is completed, the planting water W that is not absorbed by the planting flooring material A and remains in the water storage unit 8 is not left in the water storage unit 8 for a long time. As a result, pests, moths and other microorganisms are difficult to propagate on the planting flooring material A and the planting water W.

The drain hole 20 is formed so as to allow communication between the bottom surface of the water storage unit 8 and the inner surface of the drain pipe 11. The inner diameter of the drain hole 20 is set so that the drainage capacity of the drain hole 20 is lower than the water supply speed of the pump 40. Therefore, when the water is supplied to the water storage section 8 by the pump 40, the water storage section 8 has an appropriate value of 10 mm or more. Since the planting water W is held at a high height, the planting floor material A can absorb the planting water W with an appropriate efficiency and reveal a state where the water is retained.
Further, the inner diameter of the drain hole 20 is set to have an appropriate size so that the drain hole 20 is not easily blocked by foreign matters such as particles or fibers contained in the planting water W.

  The drain hole 20 has a single through hole shape formed on the side surface of the overflow pipe 10, and the through hole extends in the radial direction of the overflow pipe 10. The position of the lower end of the through-hole constitutes the substantial bottom surface of the water storage portion 8 for the purpose of further suppressing the phenomenon that the drain hole 20 is blocked by foreign matters such as particles and fibers contained in the planting water W. It is set to a level 5 mm higher than the upper surface of the central bottom wall 3a. Here, the inner diameter of the drain hole 20 is about 3 mm.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a part of the cylindrical portion constituting the overflow pipe 10 (the front portion closer to the center than the corresponding partition wall 6) The drain wall 20 is generally formed by a flat wall portion 10a extending in parallel with the long side wall 4, and the drain hole 20 is formed through the lower end of the flat wall portion 10a in the front-rear direction. 11 is communicated with the inner surface.

  On the left and right sides and below the drain hole 20, there are provided foreign matter catching convex portions 21 projecting radially outward. The foreign matter capturing convex portion 21 has a partial spherical shape that protrudes generally forward, particularly on the left and right sides of the drain hole 20.

  Since the drain hole 20 is generally extended in the front-rear and horizontal directions so as to form an angle with respect to the vertical direction, most of the planting water W discharged from the drain hole 20 is basically downward. It falls, drawing the parabola which leaves | separates back from the flat wall part 10a so far, and reaches | attains the water storage part 8 or the planting flooring material A other than the overflow pipe 10 of the planting container main body 1 located below.

  The rear end of the central bottom wall 3a and the front end of the rear bottom wall 3c are connected by an intermediate vertical wall 3d extending generally parallel to the long side wall 4, and the drain hole 20 is connected to the intermediate vertical wall 3d in the vertical direction. It is placed at a level near the middle.

(Configuration of shielding plate)
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the upper end of the overflow pipe 10 or the drain hole 20 enters the overflow pipe 10 above the upper end of the overflow pipe 10, and flows down from the drain pipe 11. A shielding plate 14 is provided as means for suppressing the phenomenon that the planting water W enters the overflow pipe 10 without being supplied to the water storage section 8 of the lower planting container body 1.

The shielding plate 14 is formed so as to protrude laterally from each of the outer side surfaces of the two right and left partition walls 6 so as to intersect the axial center of the overflow pipe 10 and cover most of the opening of the overflow pipe 10 in plan view. ing.
Of the upper end of the overflow pipe 10, a pair of connecting portions 15 a and 15 b extend straight upward toward the shielding plate 14 from two places before and after corresponding to the boundary with the partition wall 6. Smoothly connected to the front and rear ends.

Further, a thin guide wall portion 16 is erected upward from a peripheral portion of the shielding plate 14 excluding the connecting portions 15a and 15b.
As a result, the upper surface of the shielding plate 14 is sandwiched between the partition wall 6 and the guide wall portion 16, thereby forming a groove-like flow path extending forward and backward.

  Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 7, even if the planting water W flowing down from the upper end of the overflow pipe 10 of the upper planting container body 1 or the drain hole 20 through the drain pipe 11 falls toward the overflow pipe 10. Most of them are received by the upper surface of the shielding plate 14, guided by the partition wall 6 and the guide wall portion 16, and supplied to the water storage portion 8 from the outer periphery of the overflow pipe 10 along the front and rear connection portions 15a and 15b. Therefore, there is little possibility that a large amount of planting water W enters the inner surface of the overflow pipe 10.

(Upper supply pipe)
In FIG. 1, a water supply hose H <b> 2 in which planting water W in a planting water tank 1 b disposed under the lowermost planting container body 1 is continuously passed through a guide tube 12 of each planting container body 1 by a pump 40. The form which supplies to the planting container main body 1 of the uppermost stage via was demonstrated.
On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the embodiment may be implemented in such a manner that the planting water W is supplied to the uppermost planting container body 1 from the upper supply pipe 37 disposed so as to penetrate the lid member 30. Is possible. As shown in FIG. 9, the lower end of the upper supply pipe 37 extends below the upper end of the guide cylinder 12 and is arranged so as to bypass the guide cylinder 12 to the left or right.

  Here, a T-shaped branch pipe 36 is provided in a part of a pipe 35 extending in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the planting container body 1 above the lid member 30, and an open / close cock is provided downward from the T-shaped branch pipe 36. The provided upper supply pipe 37 is extended. The upper water supply hose H4 connected to the lower end of the upper supply pipe 37 is bent so as to bypass the guide tube 12 and the overflow pipe 10 of the uppermost planting container body 1, and is directed to the upper surface of the water storage section 8. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the upper supply pipe 37 and the upper water supply hose H4 are inserted into the lid member 30 in the vertical direction so that the upper supply pipe 37 and the upper water supply hose H4 can be received from the rear. Since the opening 30a is formed in a slit shape opened toward the rear end of the lid member 30, the upper supply pipe 37 and the upper water supply hose H4 that have already been installed to enter the planting space 2 from above are provided. The lid member 30 can be easily attached / detached without removing the cover.

(Blindfold board)
For example, when the planting floor material A is not placed in a part of the planting space 2, a blindfold plate 60 that can be detachably attached to the vacant planting space 2 is prepared.
As shown in FIG. 5, the blindfold plate 60 includes a generally rectangular main body 60a, one upper locking piece 60b extending upward from the upper end of the main body 60a, and extending downward from the lower end of the main body 60a. One downward locking piece 60c and a pair of reinforcing pieces 60d extending downward from the left and right sides of the main body 60a.

On the left and right sides near the upper end of the main body 60a, a notch 60e is provided to avoid interference with the drainage pipe 11 of the planting container main body 1 disposed above, and the reinforcing piece 60d is notched 60e. It is provided only in the part excluding.
Further, a through hole 60f for avoiding interference with the flange of the branch joint J2 installed in the guide tube 12 of the uppermost planting container body 1 is provided inside the notch 60e near the upper end of the body 60a. It has been.

  Locking means for securely attaching the blindfold plate 60 is formed at necessary portions of the planting container body 1 and the lid member 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the locking means is a pair of left and right first members extending laterally on the inner surface side of the upper end (front end portion) of the front bottom wall 3 b that is inclined forwardly upward of the planting container body 1. Stop groove 3v, second locking groove 4v extending laterally on the inner surface side of convex piece 4a provided at the lower end of long side wall 4 of planting container body 1, and long side wall 37 of lid member 30 It is the 2nd latching piece 31v extended in the horizontal direction on the inner surface side of the convex-shaped piece 31a provided in the lower end. The second locking grooves 4v and 31v are used when the blindfold plate 60 is attached to the planting space 2 of the planting container body 1 located one step below.

  In order to attach the blindfold plate 60, first, the lower end of the lower locking piece 60c of the blindfold plate 60 is inserted into the first locking groove 3v of the planting container main body 1 to be attached, and then the upper and lower central portions of the main body 60a While bending with both hands so as to protrude in either the front or back direction, the upper end of the upper locking piece 60b of the blindfold plate 60 is bent into the second locking groove 4v of the planting container body 1 on the upper stage. It is better to relax the power. When the attachment is completed, the blindfold plate 60 extends obliquely from the near side of the water storage unit 8 toward the vicinity of the upper end on the back side of the planting space 2.

  The blindfold plate 60 can be attached to the planting space 2 with respect to the planting container body 1. For example, in the case where the planting container body 1 is used by being stacked in multiple stages, the planting space 2 in which the planting flooring material A and the plant are arranged, and the planting plant which is closed by the blindfold plate 60 without the planting flooring material A By alternately arranging the work spaces 2, the planting apparatus can be used so as to exhibit a checkered pattern as a whole.

  If necessary, long angle materials (not shown) are arranged along the corners of the planting container body 1 stacked in multiple stages, and each planting container body 1 is connected to the angle material by a connector such as a bolt.
