Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Technical Field of the Invention" The present invention relates to a flower pot that has a required number of ventilation holes in the peripheral wall of the flower pot body, and is particularly capable of supplying sufficient air to the roots of potted plants. The present invention relates to a flowerpot in which soil and stones stored in the flowerpot body do not leak out from the ventilation hole.

``Conventional technology'' Conventional flower pots include those made of ceramics such as unglazed pottery,
Alternatively, there are products made of plastic on the market, and in recent years, products made of plastic have become increasingly popular.

However, especially those made of plastic, which have no air permeability at all, cannot supply enough air to the roots of potted plants, which can delay plant growth or cause root rot due to too much water. There is a problem.

To solve this problem, conventional plastic flower pots have many ventilation holes in their bottoms.

However, this method has a problem in that the holes are blocked by water accumulated in the saucer or the like and do not function as ventilation.

``Purpose of the invention'' The present invention was developed in view of the current situation.The purpose of the invention is to easily supply air into the flower pot by providing ventilation holes in the peripheral wall of the flower pot, and to provide air to the potted plants, especially the roots. In addition to allowing sufficient air to be taken in, it is also possible to completely prevent the soil and stones stored in the flowerpot from leaking out through the ventilation holes, which can have a positive impact on the growth of plants. Our goal is to provide flowerpots.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The present invention provides an air passage for outside air to flow in and out of the flower pot main body, which is provided with a bottom wall and a peripheral wall rising upward from the periphery of the bottom wall. A ventilation hole cover is provided to facilitate the supply of air into the flowerpot body by providing air holes and to prevent soil and stones stored in the flowerpot body from leaking from the ventilation hole, and the cover is An opening communicating with the ventilation hole is provided at the bottom of the cover so as not to obstruct ventilation.

"Function" The ventilation hole provided on the side wall of the flowerpot body allows sufficient air to flow into the flowerpot body, and the cover prevents the soil and stones stored in the flowerpot body from leaking out from the ventilation hole. The opening is provided so that the outside of the flower pot body communicates with the inside of the flower pot body through the ventilation hole without the cover blocking the ventilation hole, and the purpose of the existence of the ventilation hole is ensured. It plays the role of

"Example" Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be explained based on the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention,
In these figures, the flowerpot of the present invention includes a flowerpot body 1 and a cover 2 that is detachably housed inside the flowerpot body 1.

The flower pot main body 1 has a shape similar to that of a conventional flower pot, and includes a bottom wall 3 and a peripheral wall 4 that integrally rises upward from the periphery of the bottom wall 3 in a funnel shape. The bottom wall 3, like a normal one, has a required number of legs 5 integrally formed at the lower part of its periphery, and has a drain hole 6 in the center thereof.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the peripheral wall 4 is provided with a required number of ventilation holes 7 at positions near the bottom wall 3. That is, in this embodiment, a plurality of ventilation holes each having a diameter of approximately 1 to 2 cm are bored in the peripheral wall at approximately the same height. The shape of this ventilation hole is not limited to a circle, but any arbitrary shape such as a triangle or a star shape may be selected.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the cover 2 has a hollow, generally inverted truncated conical shape, with an upper opening having a diameter larger than a lower opening and a relatively shallow overall shape. . When the cover 2 is stored in the flower pot main body, the peripheral edge 8 of the upper opening is placed in contact with the inner wall 4a of the peripheral wall 4 of the flower pot main body 1, and the peripheral edge of the lower opening 9 is formed so that the peripheral wall portion 10 is spaced apart from the inner wall 4a of the flowerpot body 1. Therefore, the periphery 8 of the upper opening is pressed against the inner wall 4 of the flowerpot body 1 by the pressing force from above.
It is possible to adhere more closely to the a-side.

Further, the peripheral wall portion 10 of the cover 2 is located at a position facing the ventilation hole 7 in the flowerpot body 1 in order to prevent the soil and stones 11 inside the flowerpot body 1 from leaking out from the ventilation hole 7. placed in Therefore, the peripheral edge 8 of the upper opening of the cover 2 is connected to the peripheral wall 4 of the flowerpot body at the upper position of the ventilation hole 7.
The tip of the peripheral wall 10 of the cover 2 is normally formed to extend to a lower position than the lower edge of the ventilation hole 7, so that the dirt and stones stored in the main body 1 are in close contact with the inner wall 4a of the main body 1. 11 is designed to be difficult to leak from the ventilation hole 7.

At the lower part of the cover 2, air flowing in from the ventilation hole 7 can flow through the flowerpot body 1 without being blocked by the cover 2.
An opening 14 is formed for passage therein.

In this embodiment, the opening 14 is formed by separating the lower end periphery 9 of the cover 2 from the inner peripheral wall 4a of the flower pot main body 1, and is a space formed on the inner wall 4a side of the flower pot main body 1 of the ventilation hole 7. 13. The inside and outside of the flower pot main body 1 communicate with each other via the ventilation hole 7.

Note that the flower pot 1 can be placed in a water tray 12, as in the conventional one, and is designed to prevent the water in the water tray from entering the flower pot body 1 when dripping.
It is desirable that the vent hole 7 be provided at a higher position than the upper edge of the water tray 12.

Further, although the flowerpot main body 1 has a hollow inverted truncated cone shape in this embodiment, it is not limited to this, and may also have an inverted truncated pyramid shape. The upper end periphery 8 of the peripheral wall portion 10 is also appropriately modified.

As is clear from the configuration of the above embodiment, when the flowerpot of the present invention is used, air can circulate through the ventilation hole 7 as shown by the arrow, and
Since a space 13 is formed between the cover 2 and the peripheral wall 4 into which the soil and stones 11 cannot enter, air comes into contact with the sides of the soil and stones 11 in the flowerpot body 1, and a sufficient amount of air is generated for the roots of the potted plant. It becomes possible to supply Therefore, it is possible to promote the growth of potted plants, and it is also possible to contribute to the prevention of diseases such as root rot in the plants.

Although the cover 2 in this embodiment is configured to be detachable from the flowerpot body 1, it can also be formed integrally with the flowerpot body 1.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment, in which the peripheral wall 110 of the cover 102 extends to the bottom wall 103 of the flowerpot body 101, and is formed at the lower part of the cover 102. The opening 114 is formed by cutting out the lower part of the peripheral wall 110. The cover 102 of this embodiment is similar to the flower pot main body 10.
When the peripheral wall 104 of the first embodiment stands up almost perpendicularly from the bottom wall 103, if the cover 2 of the first embodiment is used, it will fall in the direction of the bottom wall 103 and the cover 2 will no longer function. Suitable for cases where

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the present invention has a structure in which a ventilation hole is provided in the peripheral wall of the flowerpot body, and a cover for the ventilation hole is provided inside the flowerpot body for this ventilation hole.
In addition, since the cover has an opening at its lower part so as not to obstruct air from flowing into the flowerpot body from the ventilation hole, air can easily enter the flowerpot body from the ventilation hole. Therefore, sufficient air can be supplied to the roots of potted plants, which is convenient for their growth, and of course helps prevent diseases such as root rot caused by excessive watering. In addition, the presence of the cover can effectively prevent dirt and stones from leaking out of the flowerpot body from the ventilation hole.
