Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] A. Industrial application field This invention relates to a cover for holding a flower pot, and in particular,
This invention relates to a cover formed by connecting a plurality of rods in an annular shape and stacking them to form a box shape.

B. Conventional technology and its problems A pot cover that assembles the bars into a box shape by providing fitting grooves on the upper and lower surfaces of the intersection of the bars, fitting the bars into the fitting grooves and gluing them together, has not been put to practical use. ing. However, with this type of pot cover, the bars are simply glued and connected, so if the glued part comes off, the entire box will break, and it takes time and effort to completely glue each bar one by one. There was a drawback that it took a while.

In addition, with this structure of pot covers, the width of the fitting groove must be made to exactly match the width of the bars, and the bars must be shaped so that they can fit without any gaps, otherwise the bars cannot be connected accurately at right angles, making assembly difficult. There was also the drawback that the shape of the potted hippopotamus would be distorted.

As shown in Fig. 8, as a pot cover to firmly connect the bars, a connecting hole is drilled through the connecting intersection of the bars, and a bolt 6 or the like is inserted through the hole to connect the entire bar 2. A pot cover that secures the top and bottom of the pot has also been put into practical use. With pot covers of this structure, unless the width of the fitting groove is accurately adjusted to the width of the bars, the bars cannot be connected accurately at right angles, and the bolt holes cannot be inserted through the connecting parts of the bars. Since it is necessary to make holes, it is difficult to use thin rods, and when wood is used for the rods, there is also the drawback that the unique design of wood construction cannot be achieved because the entire structure is made of wood.

This device was developed with the aim of solving these conventional drawbacks, and the important purpose of this device is that all rods can be connected easily, reliably, and firmly by simply inserting the connecting rods. Provides a cover for flower pots that can be connected.

Another important purpose of this invention is that by inserting the connecting rod, the rod is pressed against one side of the fitting groove, so the rods can be connected at an accurate angle. There is a flower pot to offer hippo.

Furthermore, another important purpose of this invention is that the connecting rod is inserted after the bars are assembled, so even if the connecting rod is made slightly thicker than the connecting groove of the bars, it can be easily press-fitted. To provide a cover for a flower pot that can firmly connect rods even when tied together.

Furthermore, there is no need for bolts etc. to connect the bars,
To provide a cover for a flower pot that can be made entirely of wood and obtain a pot cover unique to a wooden structure, since the connecting rod can be made of the same material as the rod, for example, both the rod and the connecting rod can be made of wood. It is in.

C. Means for Solving Conventional Problems The cover for a flowerpot is made up of a plurality of stacked annular elements in which a plurality of rods are intersected and connected to form an annular structure. Fitting grooves are provided at the locations where the bars are intersected and connected, allowing the bars to fit into each other. A connecting groove is cut into the connecting groove, and a connecting rod is inserted into this connecting groove to connect the annular materials stacked one above the other.

D Functions and Effects The rods 2 are fitted into the fitting grooves and connected to each other so as to intersect with each other. When the rods are connected, as shown in Figure 2, in the intersection area of the rods, the connecting grooves are unevenly distributed on one side, and the connecting grooves are vertical (in this specification, the vertical direction refers to the direction of the flower pot). (meaning the vertical direction in actual use). When the connecting rod is inserted into this connecting groove, the connecting rod will
Press the periphery as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2, and press the intersecting bars against one side of the fitting groove to connect them.
Furthermore, this connecting rod also connects vertically stacked rods.

Therefore, in the flower pot of this invention, all the rods can be connected simply, easily, and quickly by simply inserting the connecting rods into the connecting points of the rods. especially,
In the conventional method, in order to firmly connect the bars, it was necessary to fit the bars tightly into the fitting groove, which had the disadvantage that it took time and effort to connect the bars. The cover of this invention can connect the rods loosely and then firmly press-fit the connecting rod, so it is easy to assemble. It is also possible to realize the feature that bars can be connected accurately at angles such as right angles.

Furthermore, the connecting rod is made of the same material as the rod, e.g.
Since the rods and the connecting rods can be made of wood, it is possible to realize a cover for a flower pot that is entirely made of wood and has a high-class design characteristic unique to a wooden structure.

E. Preferred Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

A cover 1 for a flowerpot shown in FIG. 1 has a plurality of rods 2 connected at right angles at their ends to form an annular element, and these annular elements are stacked vertically and connected by a connecting rod 3. The overall shape is cylindrical.

If necessary, a bottom plate (not shown) is fixed to the bottom of the cylindrical cover 1, but the bottom plate is not necessarily required.

The bar 2 mainly has wood with a rectangular cross section;
A log-shaped, polygonal, etc. shaped material is used, but materials other than wood, such as synthetic resin and metal, can also be used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bar 2 has fitting grooves 4 carved in its upper and lower surfaces. The fitting groove 4 is formed to have a width equal to or slightly wider than the width of the bar 2 so that the bar 2 is fitted therein and thereby connected to each other orthogonally.

As shown in Fig. 2, a fitting groove 4 is carved only on one side of the upper surface of the bar 2, and the depth of the fitting groove 4 is half the thickness of the bar 2, as shown in Fig. 1. As shown, two rods 2 that are connected in a crossing manner are located on the same plane.

As shown in FIG. 3, the fitting groove 4 is carved only on the top surface of the bar 2, as shown in FIG.
The bars 2 are connected with some vertical displacement.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, fitting grooves 4 are carved on both the upper and lower surfaces of one of the bars 2a that are connected in a crossed manner, and the other bar 2b is not provided with fitting grooves. It is also possible to concatenate. In this case, as shown in FIG.
There will be some gap between a and 2b.

As shown in FIG. 2, a connecting groove 5 is cut in communication with the fitting groove 4 to connect the bar 2.
By inserting the connecting rods 3 into the connecting grooves 5, the respective rods 2 are connected in a crossing manner, and are also connected vertically, and furthermore, the rods 2 are connected to each other in the fitting groove 4.
