Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a flower pot for planting flowers, flowering trees, etc.

(Prior art) Conventionally, according to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-8593, a bottomed cylindrical inner body is attached to a bottomed cylindrical outer body, and water is stored between the bottom plate of the outer body and the bottom plate of the inner body. Flower pots that form a section are known.

In such flower pots, it is necessary to make it possible to remove the inner plate from the outer plate as appropriate so that mud, etc. accumulated in the water storage part can be cleaned. The flange formed at the upper end of the inner body is made to protrude outward from the outer body.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) If the flanges protrude from the outer body as described above, even if a garden enthusiast tries to place as many flower pots as possible in a limited space, the flanges will interfere with each other. A gap equal to the width of the flanges is created between the outer bodies of adjacent flowerpots, and this gap becomes a dead space, making it impossible to arrange the flowerpots in a space-efficient manner.

In view of the above points, the purpose of the present invention is to miniaturize flowerpots so that they can be arranged in a space-efficient manner.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the flowerpot of the present invention is a cylindrical body with a bottom that is open at the top, and includes an outer body having a plurality of protrusions on the upper surface of the bottom plate; A cylindrical body with a bottom and an upper opening that can freely move in and out of the outer body, the inner body having a bottom plate supported by the protrusion and installed in the outer body; A notch is formed in the upper edge of the side wall of the outer body that receives the flange at the upper end of the side wall of the inner body, and the notch is connected to the side wall of the outer body. It is characterized in that the water supply hole is configured to communicate with the water storage portion through a gap between the inner body and the side wall of the inner body.

(Function) By forming the water supply hole with a notch formed in the upper edge of the side wall of the outer body that receives the flange of the inner body, the inner body can be taken out from the outer body by placing a finger on the flange through the water supply hole.

Therefore, there is no need to make the flanges stick out to the outside of the outer body so that you can put your fingers on them, and the flower pot can be made smaller by eliminating the protrusion of the flanges. can be placed space-efficiently.

(Example) A more detailed explanation will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 showing an example of implementation of the present invention.

1 is an outer body made of synthetic resin,
What is illustrated is a cylindrical bottomed cylindrical body that is open at the top, but its cross-sectional shape may be any shape such as a rectangle or an ellipse. 2 is an inner body made of synthetic resin having a substantially similar form to the outer body 1;
It has a size that allows it to be inserted into and out of the outer body 1 at will. The outer body 1 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 4 of equal height formed integrally with the upper surface of the bottom plate 3 on its inner surface side, and as described later, the protrusions 4 are for supporting the inner body 2 inserted into the outer body 1. It is something. Further, a notch forming a water supply hole 6 is formed in a part of the upper edge of the side wall 5 of the outer body 1.

When the inner body 2 is attached to the outer body 1, its bottom plate 7 is supported by the protrusion 4, and the flange formed at the upper end of the side wall 8 is latched to the upper end of the outer body 1. A gap is formed between the outer surface of the side wall 8 of the inner body 2 and the inner surface of the side wall 5 of the outer body 1. Therefore, as shown in the third figure, a space communicating with the water supply hole 6 of the outer body 1 through the gap is formed between the bottom plate 3 of the outer body 1 and the bottom plate 7 of the inner body 2, as will be described later. The space is used as the water storage section 9.

Further, a raised portion 10 having an arcuate cross-sectional shape is integrally formed at the center of the upper surface of the bottom plate 7 of the inner body 2.
A separable circular plate body 11 having a diameter in the longitudinal direction of the raised portion 10 is provided. An arc-shaped elongated hole 12 along the circumference of the plate body 11 is formed at both longitudinal ends of the raised portion 10, and a plurality of claw pieces 13 protruding into the elongated hole 12 are provided. Reference numeral 14 denotes a long hole for water passage formed in the bottom plate 7.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a water guide cloth having a capillary action such as a woven cloth, which is disposed along the upper surface of the raised part 10 of the bottom plate 7 of the inner body 2, and its both ends are connected to the water storage part 9 through the elongated holes 12, 12. Made it droop. The water-conducting cloth 15 is fixed so as not to move by the claws 13 of the elongated holes 12, and is prevented from detaching from the raised part 10 by the raised edges 16 formed on both sides of the raised part 10 in the longitudinal direction.

17 is a water amount display device that displays the amount of water stored in the water storage section 9. In this device 17, the lower end of an elongated tubular body 18 is closed with a member 20 provided with a water passage hole 19, and the other upper end is covered with a transparent cap 22 provided with an air supply hole 21. A float body 24 provided with a display piece 23 is housed therein. And the device 17 is connected to the bottom plate 7 of the inner body 2.
The lower end portion was placed in the water storage portion 9 through the hole 25 formed in the inner body 2, and the upper end portion was mounted so as to protrude above the opening of the inner body 2.

Next, a method of using the above embodiment will be explained.

Roots of plants such as flowers and trees are planted together with soil into an inner body 2 inserted into an outer body 1. Then, water is supplied from the water supply hole 6 of the outer body 1 to fill the water storage part 9 with water. Also, water the soil covering the roots of the plants as needed. At this time, excess water permeates through the soil and flows out into the water storage section 9 through the elongated holes 14 of the inner body 2. On the other hand, the water guide cloth 15 sucks up water in the water storage section 9 by capillary action and supplies water to the roots of the plants through the soil. Further, as the roots of the plant grow, the capillary roots extend from the elongated holes 14 of the bottom plate 7 to the water storage section 9 and absorb water from the water storage section 9.

On the other hand, the amount of water in the water storage section 9 is always displayed by the water amount display device 17. That is, the water amount display device 17
Since the lower end is located in the water storage part 9, water enters from the water guide hole 19 at the lower end to the water level of the water storage part 9, floats the float body 24, and displays the display panel at the upper end of the float body 24. 23 is the transparent cap 22
The water level in the water storage portion 9 can be confirmed by the position of the display piece 23 seen through from above.

If mud, soil, etc. accumulate in the water storage part 9 due to long-term use, put your finger through the water supply hole 6 through the flange at the upper end of the inner body 2, and then remove the inner body 2 from the outer body 1.
Take it out and clean it.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, when the present invention is used, the water supply hole for supplying water to the water storage section can also be used as the operation hole for putting a finger on the flange at the upper end of the inner body, and the flange can be There is no need to make the flower pot protrude outward from the outer body so that the fingers can be placed on it, the flower pot can be made smaller by eliminating the protrusion of the flange, and the flower pot can be arranged in a space-efficient manner.
