Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a substrate for forming three-dimensional flower beds, and can be used not only in the landscaping industry, but also as a personal hobby gardening, and as a venue for various events. Three-dimensional flower beds such as spherical flower beds and wall-shaped flower beds can be easily formed in gardens, gardens, and other places, and can be widely used in various industries for the purpose of decoration, advertising, and improving the effectiveness of advertisements.

(Prior Art) Conventional three-dimensional flower beds include, for example, a method in which the terrain itself on which flowers are planted is formed into a three-dimensional shape such as an oblique shape, and flowers are planted in that area (for example, a flower clock formed on a slope); Or, as seen in chrysanthemum dolls and liana plants, a method of obtaining a desired three-dimensional shape by cutting specific flowers into a predetermined three-dimensional shape and making them creep along, or by winding them into a tendril shape. Although it cannot be called landscaping, it is a three-dimensional arrangement of synthetic resin moldings that are water-absorbing (water-retaining) and plantable, and cut flowers are inserted into these to maintain the appearance of a three-dimensional flower bed. Methods of increasing the number of employees are being implemented.

Also, relatively recently, a flowerpot in the form of a basket made of wire has been proposed and used, called a hanging basket.After storing soil in the hanging basket, a considerably wide space is placed on one side of the basket. The plant is constructed so that the root part of the flower plant is inserted through the mesh formed by the plant, and the flower plant is planted in nourishing soil, with the flower part exposed on the side, and the plant is hung indoors or outdoors. There is.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, among the conventional methods mentioned above, in the case of the method of forming the terrain itself into a three-dimensional shape, due to the nature of the growth process (seeding, germination, growth) of flowers, Three-dimensional shapes are limited to sloping shapes at most, and have the disadvantage that they are not portable at all, so they can only be formed in specific locations.In addition, in the case of chrysanthemum dolls and liana plants, they are limited to the type of flowers and flowers. The disadvantage is that the three-dimensional shape is extremely limited and there is little variation, and also in this case it is difficult or impossible to transport. In addition, the method of planting cut flowers as described above has a significantly shorter lifespan than the method of planting cut flowers, so although it is suitable for ceremonial use only once,
It is hard to call it a flower bed, and its useful value is extremely low.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned hanging basket, when multiple baskets are used to form, for example, a flower ball, not only does it take a lot of time and effort to plant the flower plants, but it also requires a large amount of soil and sphagnum moss. As a result, the weight becomes extremely large, and there is a problem in that the predetermined shape cannot be maintained due to its own weight. Also,
Irrigated water tends to dry out at the top and always stays overly humid at the bottom. Furthermore, the soil pressure from the top tends to have a negative effect on the growth of the roots of the flowering plants at the bottom. Even if the flower buds are damaged, it is extremely difficult to partially replace them. Therefore, at present, no technical means for forming a three-dimensional flower bed, such as a spherical or wall-shaped flower bed, has yet been developed.

The present invention was developed in response to the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of easily and reliably forming three-dimensional flower beds in a wide variety of shapes (flower balls, flower walls, etc.), and also enables planting by inserting flower stocks. It is extremely easy to replace the flower stock, and it is also easy to replace parts of the flower stock.Furthermore, the amount of soil used is small, making it lightweight and portable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a substrate for forming a three-dimensional flower bed which has various features such as having no adverse effects and being able to irrigate each flower plant evenly and easily.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the base material for forming a three-dimensional flower bed according to the present invention is provided by penetrating a number of circular fitting holes into an appropriately shaped substrate at a required interval. A base frame for forming a three-dimensional flower bed, which has a plurality of concave notches on the periphery of each insertion hole, and a protruding edge between each concave notch, a flange frame forming an upper edge, and a bottom. It consists of a large number of flower plant holders each having an opening at the top and connected to the frame by a vertical frame on the circumferential side, each flower plant holder having a water passage hole on the circumferential side and bottom surface, Located under the flange frame of each of the above-mentioned flower plant holders, on the outer surface of the above-mentioned vertical frame, an engaging part for preventing removal that can be inserted into and removed from the recessed part of the base frame is provided in the circumferential direction. The present invention is characterized in that the flower plant holder is provided protrudingly at at least two locations so that each flower plant holder is removably fitted into each fitting hole of the base frame.

(Function) Since the present invention is configured as described above,
Apply the engaging portion protruding from the vertical frame of the flower plant holder to one edge of the protrusion that protrudes from the periphery of the insertion hole penetrated through the substrate, and press fit the flower plant holder into the insertion hole. Alternatively, insert the engaging part of the flower plant holder through the recess provided on the periphery of the insertion hole, insert the holder into the insertion hole, and then rotate the holder slightly. By this, each flower plant holder can be attached to each fitting hole by engaging the engaging portion of the holder with one protruding edge of the fitting hole of the substrate.
In addition, when removing the holders from the insertion holes, rotate the holders and return their engaging parts to the position of the recessed part of the board, and then pull out each holder from each insertion hole of the board. It is removable.

Furthermore, the holder is provided with water holes on its circumferential side and bottom, so water can be applied from all directions, including the upper opening, and it also has good air permeability. Since these are stored separately in each holder, the overall weight of the three-dimensional flower bed can be reduced. In addition, by using curved or flat substrates singly or in various combinations, we can create spherical three-dimensional flower beds, hemispherical three-dimensional flower beds, or wall-like three-dimensional flower beds (flower walls). ) and cylindrical three-dimensional flower beds, etc., can be formed into base materials for forming three-dimensional flower beds of various shapes.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a base frame for forming a three-dimensional flower bed comprising a substrate 1a molded from plastic and having a hemispherical curved surface; The frame has a wall thickness sufficient to maintain the required strength without becoming excessively heavy, and has a large number of circular insertion holes 2 extending therethrough at approximately equal intervals over its entire surface. As clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the periphery of this insertion hole 2 is formed with a mortar-shaped taper surface 3 that tapers off at regular intervals. A plurality of recessed notches 4 are formed in the recessed notches 4, and therefore, a plurality of concave arc-shaped protruding edges 5 are formed between each of the recessed notches 4.

Although not shown, the substrate 1 may have a curved shape such as a spherical shape or a quarter sphere shape.
Further, it may be formed in a planar shape or in an appropriate combination of these shapes.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a flower plant holder made of plastic, and in this embodiment, a ring-shaped flange frame 7 at the top, a ring-shaped bottom frame 8 at the bottom, and these flange frames 7 and bottom frame 8 are connected. All parts other than the plurality of circumferential vertical frames 9 provided on the circumferential side are open, and therefore the upper part of the holder 6 is open, and a plurality of large water holes 10 are penetrated through the side surface. A large water passage hole 10 is also provided in the bottom surface. Reference numeral 11 denotes an engaging portion provided with a stepped portion on the outside of each vertical frame 9 to protrude and prevent the retainer 6 from coming off,
The substrate 1 of the base frame 1 is placed below the flange frame 7.
The protrusions are provided with a spacing slightly longer than the wall thickness dimension of a. Reference numeral 12 denotes a detent member (a member for preventing flowers, etc., from falling off) formed by extending the inner circumferential edge of the flange frame 7 of the holder 6 toward the inside of the pot body by a required length; In this example,
It is formed into a horizontal ring shape for ease of molding as one unit with the holder, but it is also formed with a slope that descends slightly inward and is formed into a tongue shape by making cuts in several places. By doing so, the effect of preventing flower plants from falling off can be further improved.

Although not shown, the fastening member 12 may be provided integrally projecting from each vertical frame 9, or may be a linear or rod-like fastening member such as a wire formed separately from the holder. The member 12 may be attached to the holder 6 by means of, for example, wrapping it around the flange frame 7 of the holder.

In addition, it is better to form the overall shape of the holder 6 into a tapered surface like a normal flower pot, so that the holder 6, especially its engaging portion 11, can be inserted into the insertion hole of the base frame 1. The insertion operation can be performed smoothly along the periphery of the holder.

Further, although it is preferable that the tapered surface 3 and the flange frame 7 on the periphery of the insertion hole 2 exist in order to prevent the flower plant holder 6 from slipping out into the base frame, either one of them is present. These structures are not indispensable components of the present invention, since it is sufficient if other means for preventing withdrawal are used, and both become unnecessary.

Next, one example of means for planting a flower plant into the flower plant holder 6 configured as described above will be explained. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the entire circumference of the holder is covered with sphagnum moss, urethane foam sponge, etc. to prevent the soil A contained in the holder from spilling out from each water hole. After adding substance B that has water permeability and water retention (water content) such as rock wool, soil A is contained and flower plant C is planted, and the above substance B is also applied to the surface layer of the root of flower plant C. Lay down. Therefore, the soil A will not be scattered or will not flow out from each water hole during irrigation. The flower stock C cultivated under such conditions for a certain period of time grows inside the holder and is securely attached by the retaining member provided on the holder, so that even if the holder is laid down,
It will not fall off from the holder even if it is turned diagonally downward or upside down.

There are various methods of forming a three-dimensional flower bed by using the holder 6 in which flower plants and the like are planted together with the base frame 1 as described above. For example, when forming a spherical three-dimensional flower bed F as shown in FIG. Using two base frames 1 made of substrates 1a with hemispherical curved surfaces, they were joined face-to-face to form a spherical base frame, and flower plants C were planted as described above. It is formed by fitting a large number of holders 6 into each fitting hole 2 of the base frame 1. When inserting the holder 6 into the insertion hole 2 of the base frame 1, a means for directly inserting it into the insertion hole 2 as shown in FIG. 2, or a sponge as shown in FIG. One possible method is to insert the layer 13 into the insertion hole 2, but any method may be used. Furthermore, the procedures for inserting, attaching, and removing the retainer 6 have already been explained in the (Function) section, so they will not be repeated here.
When the holder 6 is made of plastic material and has some degree of variable elasticity, an engaging portion 11 protruding from the vertical frame 9 of the holder 6 is provided on the protruding edge 5 of the insertion hole 2.
As a result of experiments, it has been confirmed that the operation is simpler and more efficient by applying the method of applying the material and press-fitting it into the insertion hole.

In addition, the three-dimensional flower bed F formed in a spherical shape can be used by being suspended from both ends of the horizontal rod E on the support D as shown schematically in Fig. 8, thereby further enhancing the beauty of the three-dimensional flower bed. Although improvements can be made, the present invention can be used not only as a base material for spherical flower balls, but also as a base material for wall-shaped flower walls and various other three-dimensional flower bed base materials.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, according to the invention, the flower plant holder can be removably fitted to the base frame for forming a three-dimensional flower bed, making it easy to form a three-dimensional flower bed at the required site. In addition to being convenient, it is also possible to easily and reliably replace parts of flower plants as needed, and the amount of soil and sphagnum moss used is much smaller than that of the conventional basket type described above. It has the advantage of being lightweight, economical, and portable because it requires less water compared to other plants, and there is no negative effect on flower plants due to soil pressure, and each flower plant can be watered evenly and easily from a wide range of angles. It is easy to manage, and it can produce outstanding effects that have never been seen before, such as preventing flowers from inadvertently withering.
