Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a carport for home gardening, which is equipped with a vine shelf for growing vines such as wisteria, ivy, and grapes, and a shelf for placing flower pots, etc. be.

[Conventional technology]

In ordinary households, a carport for parking a car is often located in a part of the garden or other area. This carport requires a considerable amount of space, but
The space above the car is not used very effectively. As a way to utilize this upper space, it has been proposed to install a vine shelf above the roof of the carport on which to grow vines such as grapes and wisteria.
Even plants grown on a shelf have the disadvantage that they are blocked by the roof of the carport and cannot be fully admired. As a way to solve this problem, it has been considered to form the roof in an accordion style (bellows type) using a sheet-like material so that it can be opened and closed, but it is also a hassle to open and close the roof every time the car is taken out or put in. Also, when you take your car out, you are going out, so even if you can see the vines, it is pointless because you cannot actually admire the plants while you are out.

Furthermore, when leaves, nuts, etc. fall from the vine trellis onto the roof, accordion-style roofs have the problem that they get caught between the roofs and are difficult to clean.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

This invention is a carport that allows you to admire plants on a trellis regardless of whether there is a car in the carport, makes it easy to remove fallen leaves and fruits from the roof, and allows you to place flower pots on the roof. It is intended to provide a port.

[Means for solving problems]

The carport for home gardening of the present invention serves as the roof of the carport, and is a mounting shelf formed by removably disposing a plurality of plates having transparent members such as glass plates and plastic plates on a lattice-like frame body. It is characterized by having a dual-purpose roof, and above the roof a vine shelf for creeping vines, etc.

In the present invention, the above-mentioned roof that also serves as a storage shelf (hereinafter simply referred to as the roof) may be in a horizontal state, but may also be slightly sloped in a one-sided manner in consideration of water drainage.
Furthermore, if the carport is large, the water may flow down both sides.

The frame composing the roof is preferably made of metal such as iron or aluminum alloy, and preferably has a lattice-like opening with openings that do not obstruct the viewing of the trellis.

The plate to serve as the roof plate may be made solely of transparent glass or plastic, or may be in the form of a glass plate or plastic plate fitted into a metal frame. It is preferable that the size of the plate is approximately the same as the size of the lattice of the roof frame, so that it can be removably fitted into the lattice.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the present invention.
1 is a pillar, 2 is a roof frame, 3 is a board, and 5 is a vine shelf. Note that 6 indicates a plant grown on the vine shelf 5, and 7 indicates a flowerpot.

The example of a carport shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which the roof 4 is stretched horizontally. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of the roof 4, in which the plates 3 are arranged on the frame without gaps. Further, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the vine shelf 5. As shown in FIG.

The vine shelf 5 does not necessarily have to be made of metal like the support 1, but may be made of wood or bamboo.

4 and 5 are perspective views showing examples of the frame body 2 and plate body 3 of the roof 4. FIG. Fig. 4 shows an example of a plate body 3 in which a transparent member 31 such as a glass plate is fitted into a metal frame 32, and Fig. 5 shows an example of a plate body 3 in which a transparent member 31 such as a glass plate is fitted into a metal frame 32. In this example, the ends overlap each other.

FIG. 6 shows an example in which a flower pot 7 can be placed when the roof 4 is provided at an angle, and a horizontal portion is provided on the plate 3 near the support 1. Note that 11 is a baseboard for supporting the frame 2. If the flower pot 7 is placed in the center of the roof 4, the sunlight will be blocked by the vine 5, and therefore it is usually placed at the edge of the roof, so the example shown in FIG. 6 is sufficient. Alternatively, a flowerpot may be placed on a sloped roof using a separate stand.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the entire example of the carport of the present invention.

〔effect〕

The present invention provides a roof that also serves as a shelf and has a transparent member under the vine shelf, so the plants on the vine shelf can be admired regardless of whether there is a car or not. The roof also doubles as a shelf, so you can enjoy seasonal flowers on top of the vines. The transparent member of the present invention does not necessarily have to be colorless and transparent, but may be colored and transparent, so when the sun is strong in summer, the roof can be replaced with a colored roof that weakens the sunlight. In this invention, each roof board is detachable from the frame, so each board can be replaced individually, and even when the roof gets dirty due to falling leaves or fruits from trellis plants, it can be easily removed. It has advantages such as easy cleaning. In this invention, there is a vine shelf above the roof, so even if the roof is exposed to strong winds, the strong wind will not hit the roof, so the plates that make up the roof do not need to be firmly fitted to the frame. . Therefore, the plate has various advantages, such as being able to be easily installed and removed.
