Description

  The present invention relates to a planting frame for planting flowers and trees, and a landscaping method using the planting frame.

In constructing parks and gardens, lawns, flowers, trees, etc. are planted as appropriate. However, in order to mix different kinds of plants, it is appropriate to provide boundaries for their management. For example, when a tree is planted in a lawn, even if the lawn is pasted around the tree, the lawn will expand, and the lawn will cover the tree as close as possible over time. In this case, the lawn mowing work is troublesome and time-consuming, and it is troublesome to peel off some grass or make holes to fertilize the trees.
Similarly, when planting flowers in the lawn, the lawn penetrates into the flowers, which makes the management of both the lawn and the flowers troublesome.

  For this reason, there are many examples in which boundaries are provided using blocks, bricks, boards, etc., but these have problems such as being too conspicuous in cases where small shrubs and flowers are arranged in a scenic manner or in a small garden. . In addition, there are problems such as damaging the cutting blade when using a lawn mower or lawn mower, and the fragments being scattered and damaging the human body and structures. Furthermore, the cost is high and the relocation is difficult.

  In addition to building planting frames individually with general blocks and bricks, dedicated blocks with excellent design that are made donut-shaped by arranging them are also sold, but they are made of hard materials such as concrete. Therefore, the above-mentioned problems that may occur when using a lawn mower or a mower cannot be solved and the cost is high.

  Therefore, when planting lawns, flowers, trees, etc. in parks and gardens, they are inexpensive, inexpensive plants made of flexible materials that do not harm the landscape and do not damage the blades of the mowers and lawn mowers. A tree frame is needed.

In order to solve the above problems, it is a problem to produce a planting frame of a plurality of sizes at a low cost in accordance with the size of a flower or a tree to be planted using a highly flexible material.
In order to reduce the final price, it is necessary to reduce the transportation cost. Therefore, it is also necessary to manufacture a light product with a small transportation volume.

Planting栽枠according to the present invention was made in order to solve the above problems, leaving all or part of the tread portion and the shoulder portion of the rubber tire state, and are not excised the remainder, vertically the tread portion It is characterized in that it does not have a bottom in this state .

  In the present application, the tread portion refers to a portion of the rubber tire that contacts the road surface. Moreover, a shoulder part says the part which inclined with respect to the tread part and sidewall part which connects the side surface (sidewall part) and tread part of a rubber tire.

  The planting frame of the present invention is used by being buried in the ground so that the tread portion is oriented vertically and a part including the shoulder portion is exposed to the ground surface. And by planting lawn or ground cover outside the tread part and planting trees or flowers other than those inside, the lawn or ground cover penetrates the tree or flower side beyond the tread part. Can be prevented. Here, the ground cover refers to a plant planted to cover the surface of the earth, and includes, for example, tamariu, honeysuckle, sedum, fuchsia, ajuga and the like.

  In the planting frame of the present invention, it is preferable to reverse the front and back of the tire so that the tread portion is inside. As a result, since the shoulder portion extends from the upper end of the tread portion to the outside, when the lawn planted outside tries to invade the inside, it exerts an effect like a rat return and has an effect of preventing the invasion. . In addition, since the pattern and characters of the tread portion of the tire face inward and are not visible from the outside, it looks good.

  In the planting frame of the present invention, cutting portions can be provided at one or a plurality of locations on the circumference of the rubber tire. This cutting part can finely adjust the diameter of the planting frame by allowing a part of the tread part and the shoulder part on both sides to overlap at the time of use. Therefore, it becomes easy to install the planting frame according to the required size.

  Although a new rubber tire can be used for the planting frame of the present invention, old tires generated in large quantities can be used as a material. In this case, the planting frame of the present invention can be effectively used as waste and can be provided at low cost. In addition, since rubber tires have a large number of sizes, the size of the obtained planting frame varies widely, and a planting frame that matches the size of trees and the volume of flowers can be provided. Furthermore, a smaller planting frame can be put inside the larger planting frame. If this is repeated in the same manner, ten or more kinds of planting frames can be combined into one storage / transportation unit, so that storage / transportation costs can be reduced.

  According to the present invention, a planting frame made of a highly flexible material that does not damage the blades of a mower or lawn mower can be obtained at low cost. Moreover, the planting frame of the present invention can be prepared in various sizes, and the user can select one that matches the size of the tree and the volume of flowers. Furthermore, the planting frame of the present invention is lightweight and can reduce transportation costs.

The top view which shows the modification of the planting frame which concerns on this invention. Schematic for demonstrating the landscaping method using the planting frame which concerns on this invention.

  The Example of the planting frame which concerns on this invention, and the landscaping method using the same using FIGS. 1-5 is demonstrated.

  First, an example of the rubber tire used as the material of the planting frame of this invention is demonstrated using Fig.1 (a). The rubber tire 10 is a portion that is in contact with a road surface, and usually includes a tread portion 11 in which a groove is formed, a shoulder portion 12 that connects the tread portion 11 and a sidewall portion 13 described later with inclination, and side surfaces. And a bead portion 14 fitted into the tire wheel.

  The planting frame 10A of the first embodiment is a rubber tire at the boundary between the shoulder portion 12 and the sidewall portion 13 (position indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1 (a)), leaving the tread portion 11 and the shoulder portions 12 on both sides thereof. 10 is cut, that is, the side wall portion 13 and the bead portion 14 are cut away (FIG. 1B).

  The planting frame 10B of the second embodiment is obtained by inverting the front and back of the planting frame 10A of the first embodiment so that the surface that is in contact with the ground when used as the rubber tire 10 is on the inside. Yes (Fig. 1 (c)). According to this configuration, since the shoulder portion 12 is in a flare state that opens outward, the lawn is unlikely to enter the inside of the planting frame when actually used, as will be described later. Moreover, since the character etc. which were engraved in the shoulder part 12 face inward, it looks good.

  The planting frame 10C of the third embodiment leaves only one of the shoulder portions 12 on both sides of the tread portion 11 (first shoulder portion 121) and the other shoulder portion (second shoulder portion 122) as a sidewall. The part 13 and the bead part 14 are removed (FIG. 2A). The planting frame 10D of the fourth embodiment is obtained by inverting the front and back of the planting frame 10C of the third embodiment (FIG. 2 (b)). In these 3rd and 4th Example, a lawn return effect can be acquired by using the side which left the shoulder part toward the ground surface side. On the other hand, if the side from which the shoulder portion is removed is used facing the ground surface, the portion exposed to the ground surface can be minimized, thereby making the planting frame inconspicuous.

  The planting frame 10E of the fifth embodiment is obtained by cutting the second shoulder portion 122 side further from the tread portion 11 side than the planting frame 10C of the third embodiment (FIG. 3 (a)). The planting frame 10F of Example 6 is obtained by inverting the front and back of the planting frame 10E of Example 5 (FIG. 3B). The planting frame 10E of the fifth embodiment and the planting frame 10F of the sixth embodiment have the same effects as the planting frame 10C of the third embodiment and the planting frame 10D of the fourth embodiment, respectively.

  In addition to the embodiments described above, the tire cutting position is arbitrary as long as the cylindrical frame can be formed, and the object can be achieved even if the left and right are cut at the same position or at different positions.

  In each of the above embodiments, cutting portions 21 may be provided at one or a plurality of locations on the circumference of the tire (FIG. 4). By cutting in this way, there is an effect that it becomes easy to install a planting frame around the already planted tree. This cutting part 21 can finely adjust the diameter of the planting frame by making the tread part 11 and the shoulder part 12 on both sides of the cutting part 21 overlap at the time of use. Therefore, there is an effect that it becomes easy to install a planting frame around a tree already planted in accordance with a required size.

  An embodiment of the landscaping method using the planting frame according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, the planting frame 10 </ b> B of the second embodiment is embedded so that a part including the shoulder portion 12 is appropriately exposed from the ground surface 30. And the tree 31 is planted inside the planting frame 10B, and the lawn 32 is planted outside. By using in this way, the upper side of the planting frame 10B is in a flared state spreading outward, and the grass stems that extend by extending the stems are guided to the outside, so it is difficult to enter the inside of the planting frame 10B. Become.

  Further, by spreading the bark chips 33 so that the ground surface cannot be seen inside the planting frame 10B, the generation of weeds can be prevented and the invading lawn can be easily removed without being rooted.
