  The outer container 3 includes a plurality of support portions 27 that protrude downward from the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, eight support portions 27 arranged in 2 rows and 4 columns are formed on the bottom wall portion 21 of the middle container 3b. Each support portion 27 includes a substantially square frame-shaped outer rib 27a and a lattice-shaped inner rib 27b provided on the inner peripheral side of the outer rib 27a. At least one side of the outer ribs 27a of the eight support portions 27 (two sides for the support portion 27 corresponding to the corner portion) is an outer periphery of the bottom wall portion 21 (a boundary portion between the bottom wall portion 21 and the lower flange portion 24). ) And the support portions 27 are separated by a distance slightly longer than twice the length obtained by adding the protruding length of the upper flange portion 23 and the thickness of the side wall portion 22. Are arranged. Furthermore, the protrusion length from the bottom wall part 21 of the support part 27 is the distance between the upper side part of the side wall part 22 of the outer container 3 and the upper side part of the side wall part 12 of the inner container 2 accommodated in the outer container 3. (See FIG. 8).

  When the outer containers 3 of the same type are stacked in the same direction and vertically up and down (stacked), all the support portions 27 of the upper outer container 3 are side walls of the lower outer container 3. 22, the lower surface of the lower flange portion 24 of the upper outer container 3 is supported by the upper surface of the upper flange portion 23 of the lower outer container 3. In such a stacked state, the outer peripheral surface of the support portion 27 of the upper outer container 3 abuts or approaches the inner peripheral surface of the side wall portion 22 of the lower outer container 3. Thereby, the relative displacement in the horizontal direction of the upper and lower outer containers 3 is prevented.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the large container 3a and the middle container 3b are disposed (longitudinal) above the three large containers 3a arranged so that the long side wall portions 22a face each other. When stacking in a direction rotated 90 degrees horizontally (from the direction in which the directions coincide), the upper outer container 3 straddles the long side wall portions 22a of the pair of lower outer containers 3 adjacent to each other. It will be installed in this way. At this time, the upper side portion and the upper flange portion 23 of the long side wall portion 22a of the pair of lower outer containers 3 are inserted into the space formed between the support portions 27 of the upper outer container 3. The lower side of the bottom wall portion 21 of the upper outer container 3 is supported by the upper side portion and the upper flange portion 23 of the long side wall portion 22a of the pair of lower outer containers 3. Further, the lower surface of the portion corresponding to the short side wall portion 22 b of the lower flange portion 24 of the upper outer container 3 is supported by the upper surfaces of the long side wall portion 22 a and the upper flange portion 23 of the lower outer container 3. Will be. In such a stacked state, the outer peripheral surface of the support portion 27 of the upper outer container 3 abuts or approaches the inner peripheral surface of the side wall portion 22 of the lower outer container 3. Thereby, relative displacement of the upper outer container 3 with respect to the lower outer container 3 in the short direction of the lower outer container 3 is prevented.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the outer containers 3 are stacked in the direction rotated 90 degrees horizontally with respect to the large container 3a and the middle container 3b, or the small container 3c is placed on the middle container 3b. The outer containers 3 of different sizes are stacked in layers, or although not shown, the outer containers 3 are shifted in the same direction in the horizontal direction (with some protruding). By piling up, the flower etc. planted in the outer container 3 can be arrange | positioned in step shape. In this case, in the accommodation space 35 formed inside the lower outer container 3, a covering portion 36 (see FIG. 8) that overlaps with the outer container 3 directly superimposed on the upper side of the outer container 3 is overlapped. ) And the exposed portion 37 exposed upward.

  In the present embodiment, among the outer containers 3, the small container 3c is sized to accommodate one inner container 2, the middle container 3b is sized to accommodate two inner containers 2 side by side, and the large container 3a. However, the size is such that three inner containers 2 can be accommodated side by side. Thereby, with respect to the large container 3a and the middle container 3b, among the accommodation spaces 35 of the large container 3a and the middle container 3b, two inner containers 2 or one space is covered, On the upper side, the large container 3a, the middle container 3b, and the small container 3c can be stacked. As a result, in the accommodation space 35 of the lower large container 3a and the middle container 3b, one inner container 2 is provided. Alternatively, a space that can be accommodated by two can be secured as the exposed portion 37. Therefore, it is possible to fit the inner container 2 so that it is just placed in the exposed part 37 without being positioned in the covering part 36 of the outer container 3 in the accommodation space 35 of the lower outer container 3. Yes.

  As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, the outer containers 3 are stacked in the direction rotated horizontally by 90 degrees, or smaller than the outer container 3 above the predetermined outer container 3. When the outer container 3 is stacked, the inner container 2 is not installed on the covering portion 36 where the outer container 3 is overlaid on the upper side of the accommodation space 35 of the outer container 3 and hidden. It is possible to install the inner container 2 only in the exposed portion 37 that opens to the front. Further, even if the inner container 2 in which humus or the like is planted and planted with flowers or the like is accommodated in the exposed portion 37 of the outer container 3, the humic soil or the like placed in the inner container 2 naturally snows into the covering portion 36. There is no fear of such. For this reason, it is possible to efficiently store a gardening tool (such as a scoop) or humus soil or nutrients remaining in the bag without being used from the outside so that it cannot be seen from the outside. It becomes possible. Therefore, the covering portion 36 can be effectively used without causing a decrease in design properties. As a result, it is possible to improve convenience when the planters 1 are stacked in a staircase shape while shifting the position and orientation of the outer container 3.

  Further, for example, the inner container 2 that is not necessary up to the covering portion 36 is arranged, for example, when the inner container 2 is configured to have substantially the same size as the inner dimension of the outer container 3, or the inner container 2 is It is possible to eliminate waste such as putting mulch into the covering portion 36 as in the case where it is not provided or the inner container 2 is present in a wider range than the exposed portion 37, thereby reducing costs. Can do.

  In addition, by comprising the inner container 2 with foamed resin, the heat insulation and heat retention inside the inner container 2 can be enhanced, and adverse effects on the flowers and the like due to extreme temperature changes inside the inner container 2 can be prevented. be able to. Further, when the exposed portion 37 of the inner container 2 can be secured in the outer container 3 (large container 3a), the outer container 3 stacked on the upper side of the outer container 3 is removed. Even if not, the inner container 2 accommodated in the outer container 3 can be replaced.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the planter 1 has a two-layer structure of the outer container 3 and the inner container 2, and protrudes downward from the bottom wall part 11 at the bottom wall part 11 of the inner container 2, and the bottom of the outer container 3. A support portion 13 supported by the wall portion 21 is provided. Thereby, between the general part 14 in which the support part 13 is not provided among the bottom wall part 11 of the inner container 2, and the bottom wall part 21 of the outer container 3, both the water storage part 26 and the both ends of the water supply rope 32 are provided. Can be secured, and a situation where the inner space of the inner container 2 is immersed in water can be avoided.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the recessed part 18 extended up and down in the outer surface of the inner container 2 is formed. For this reason, the rod 31 for plant support can be set up between the inner container 2 and the outer container 3 so as to be inserted into the recess 18. In particular, since the inner container 2 is made of foamed resin, the plant support rod 31 can be inserted into the recess 18 more smoothly and the state of attachment of the plant support rod 31 can be stabilized. Can do.

  Moreover, the recessed part 18 of this embodiment is formed from the upper end part of the inner container 2 to the lower end part. For this reason, in a state where the plant support rod 31 is not attached, water can be supplied from above the planter 1 to the water reservoir 26 via the recess 18. Therefore, even in a configuration in which almost no gap is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the outer container 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner container 2, it is directly (contents) to the water storage unit 26 via the recess 18. Water can be supplied without the humus etc. of the vessel 2.

In this case, not only the horizontal displacement of the inner container 2 with respect to the outer container 3 but also the vertical displacement (such as lifting due to water pressure) can be prevented, and the positioning effect can be further enhanced. In addition, the protrusion part which protrudes partially from the outer surface of the side wall part 12 of the inner container 2 like the collar part 16 and the intermediate | middle corresponding | compatible part 17 of the said embodiment is formed, for example, predetermined | prescribed of the inner container 2 Compared with the case where the outer surface of the side wall portion 12 is entirely in pressure contact with the outer container 3, it is possible to improve the detachability of the inner container 2 with respect to the outer container 3, increase the amount of water stored in the water storage section 26, and the like.

  (C) Moreover, in the side wall part 22 of the outer container 3, it is higher than the bottom face of the bottom wall part 21 of the outer container 3, and the bottom face (more desirably) of the bottom wall part 11 of the inner container 2 accommodated in the outer container 3. It is good also as forming a drain hole with respect to a position below the lower surface. In this case, by storing water in the outer container 3 up to the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 11 of the inner container 2 accommodated in the outer container 3, the humus or the like in which the inner container 2 is placed is immersed in water, and the contents It is possible to prevent a situation in which the plants and the like planted in the vessel 2 cause root rot. In particular, the planter 1 of the present embodiment has a two-layer structure, and it may be difficult to understand how much water is accumulated in the outer container 3 from the outside. The effect of preventing root rot by forming the hole is more remarkably exhibited.

  Furthermore, it is good also as providing the obstruction | occlusion means (a fitting-type stopper may be sufficient as a drain hole and a cap which screw | engages a male screw and a female screw). Further, it may be configured to provide water drain holes at a plurality of locations and to appropriately open them using the closing means.

  In addition, in a state where the plurality of outer containers 3 are shifted and stacked, the water discharged from the drain hole of the upper outer container 3 flows (efficiently) into the water storage section 26 of the lower outer container 3. You may comprise. For example, in the case where the longitudinal directions of the plurality of outer containers 3 are aligned and stacked in the direction in which the longitudinal directions of the plurality of outer containers 3 are rotated by 90 degrees, The long side wall 22a and the short side of the outer container 3 are arranged so that the water discharged from the drain hole of the outer container 3 can be dropped to a position separated from the side wall 12 of the lower outer container 3. It is good also as forming a drain hole in each side wall part 22b, and opening and closing suitably. Further, for example, a water guide groove extending downward from the drain hole may be formed on the outer surface side of the outer container 3.

  In addition, you may arrange the planter 1 of the said embodiment for the hydroponics which does not use soil. For example, the outer container 3 is configured to be capable of storing water, and has a water supply hole and a drain hole connected to a hose and the like, and the inner container 2 is a support means for supporting vegetables and the like in a predetermined posture (for example, , A lid formed with a notch for supporting vegetables at a predetermined position), and an opening for allowing the water stored in the outer container 3 to flow in and out.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the bottom wall portion 11 of the inner container 2 is made uneven so that the bottom wall portion 11 of the inner container 2 is in contact with and supported by the bottom wall portion 21 of the outer container 3 (support portion). 13) and a part (general part 14) spaced upward from the bottom wall 21 of the outer container 3 are formed. For example, the bottom wall 11 of the inner container 2 is substantially flat. On the other hand, you may comprise so that a support part and a general part may be formed by making the bottom wall part 21 of the outer container 3 uneven | corrugated.
