Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a flower pot, and in particular, it is possible to store water in the pot body without providing a bottom hole in the pot body, and does not require constant water replenishment. This is about flowerpots that don't.
The present invention provides a flower pot with an optimal configuration for hydroponic cultivation.

[Conventional technology]

Many ideas have been proposed for improving flower pots. Conventional flower pots always have a hole in the bottom, and oxygen is supplied to the roots of the plants planted in the flower pot through this hole, and excess water poured into the flower pot is drained downward through this hole. is being discharged.

Therefore, when displaying a flowerpot indoors, a saucer is placed under the flowerpot to catch water drained from the bottom hole.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when displaying a flowerpot as an interior flower pot in a room such as a drawing room, it is aesthetically undesirable to place a saucer under the flowerpot, and water may accumulate in the saucer or spill out. This had the disadvantage that the aesthetic appearance deteriorated further and the decorative effect of decorating a room with flowers and other plants was halved.

This invention improves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, as there is no bottom hole in the bottom of the pot body, there is no water leakage, and water and air are naturally supplied to the roots of the plants. The purpose of this project is to propose flower pots that have a similar design.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a flower pot in which a pot body made of stainless steel or the like is constituted by a bottom wall without a bottom hole and a peripheral wall rising from the periphery of the bottom wall. A sponge molded container consisting of a bottom wall and a peripheral wall rising from the periphery of the bottom wall is inserted into the interior, and the upper end is opened to the end surface of the peripheral wall, and the lower end is opened to the thick part of the peripheral wall of the sponge molded container. An air hole extending to the bottom wall is formed, and a moisture evaporation prevention cover is attached to the upper end surface of the peripheral wall except for the air hole area, and the inside of the sponge molded container is filled with foamed bricks. It is characterized by plants being planted on the stones.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the stainless steel pot body, 2
3 is its peripheral wall, 3 is its bottom wall, and 4 is its upper edge flange.

Floral patterns and other various patterns 14 are formed on the outer surface of the pot body 1 by destaring, etching, chemical coloring, flocking, polishing, etc. Further, the bottom wall 3 of this pot body 1 is not provided with a bottom hole as in the conventional case, and therefore, the pot body 1 is only open at the top and is closed otherwise. . Therefore, the water poured into the pot body 1 will not leak downward. Note that the pot body 1 may be made of glass, ceramic, synthetic resin, or the like in addition to stainless steel.

5 is a sponge molded container inserted along the inner wall of the pot body 1, 6 is its peripheral wall, and 7 is its bottom wall. The inner space surrounded by the peripheral wall 6 and bottom wall 7 of the sponge molded container 5 is filled with foamed bricks 9 placed in a synthetic resin net 8. Further, a predetermined amount of water moss or the like may be placed in the foamed bricks 9.

The thick part of the peripheral wall 6 of the sponge molded container 5 has an upper end opening at the upper end of the peripheral wall, and a lower end 10 opening at the bottom wall 7.
Air holes 11 are formed that reach up to . As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of air holes 11 are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. Reference numeral 12 denotes a moisture evaporation prevention cover made of a synthetic resin sheet or the like attached to the upper end surface of the peripheral wall 6 of the sponge molded container 5. Air hole 1 of this moisture evaporation prevention cover 12
An opening 13 is formed in the portion 1 .

Next, the function of the flower pot according to the present invention will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 2, a sponge molded container 5 is placed inside the pot body 1, and the inside thereof is filled with foamed bricks 9. Then, roots such as flowers are planted in the foamed bricks 9 (not shown).

In order to pour water into the pot body 1 in which the roots of the plant are planted in this manner, it is preferable to pour water from above. Then, water is first absorbed into the foamed bricks 9, and then through the gaps between the foamed bricks 9, water is absorbed into the thick portions of the peripheral wall 6 and bottom wall 7 of the sponge molded container 5. Note that the bottom wall 7 of the sponge molded container 5
The thickness L of the sponge molded container 5 and the thickness l of the peripheral wall 6 may be set appropriately, thereby determining the amount of water with which the sponge molded container 5 is impregnated. Also, to prevent water from rotting, it is a good idea to add some anti-rot agent and apply liquid fertilizer.

The water poured into the sponge molded container 5 in this manner does not evaporate upward due to the evaporation prevention cover 12, and is well retained in the sponge molded container 5. As the water impregnated in the inner foamed brick 9 dries, the water impregnated in the sponge molded container 5 is gradually absorbed by the foamed brick 9 due to capillary action, and water is replenished to the roots of the plant. It is something that

Moreover, since the air holes 11 provided in the peripheral wall 6 of the sponge molded container 5 are formed in a state where water is sufficiently absorbed into the sponge molded container 5,
The air in the air holes 11 passes through the gaps between the sponges of the peripheral wall 6 and the gaps between the foamed bricks 9, and is supplied to the roots of the plants together with water.

[Effect of idea]

According to the flowerpot according to the present invention, the bottom hole of the pot body is not provided in the bottom of the pot body. Therefore,
Even when water is poured into the plants, water does not leak from the bottom of the pot, and there is no need for a traditional saucer.
Even if you display this indoors, the beauty will not be affected.

Therefore, the flowerpot of the present invention can be used as a decoration in a drawing room, just like a conventional vase, and has the advantage of being able to display rooted flowers instead of cut flowers that can be placed in a vase, and is suitable for hydroponic cultivation. Ideal as a flower pot.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, water is naturally replenished from the sponge molded container as the roots of the plant dry by absorbing supplementary water in the sponge molded container. This has the effect of reducing the number of cycles.

Additionally, although there is no hole in the bottom of the pot, the roots of the plant are supplied with sufficient oxygen through the air holes in the sponge molded container, so there are no problems in this regard.
