Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a concrete block for constructing a fence, and more specifically to a method for storing soil inside the block and growing plants in the soil. Concerning a concrete plant block that made it possible to

(Prior art) Conventionally, concrete blocks for constructing a fence have a bland appearance, so after constructing a fence using the concrete blocks, plants are arranged on the fence, or concrete blocks used to construct the fence are used. It is known that blocks can be molded into various designs to give them a beautiful appearance.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, even if the appearance of concrete blocks is designed in various ways, the cold, inorganic impression of concrete remains unchanged.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to use the concrete block itself as a flowerpot, thereby realizing a more tasteful outdoor space by using a fence.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage chamber for storing plants and soil inside the block, and communicates the storage chamber with the outside above the front of the storage chamber. This feature is characterized by the fact that the fence is built with soil and plants after the fence is constructed.

(Example) Next, some examples of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

A large number of concrete blocks 1 are piled up to construct a fence as shown in Figure 2.

FIG. 1a shows a block 1A according to one embodiment of the invention. Block 1A is molded as follows. The left and right side parts 22 have no walls, and the inside of the block is hollow and serves as a storage chamber 3 for storing plants and soil. Furthermore, if the front face of the block is the face facing the house when stacked as a fence, a window 5 of any shape is provided on the front face 4 of the block 1A. The window 5 is provided above the space forming the storage chamber 3 so as to communicate the inside and outside.

When the block 1A is stacked as a fence,
The spaces on the left and right sides of block 1A are filled by the side walls (not shown) of ordinary blocks 1B and 1B located on the left and right sides of block 1A.

Soil (not shown) enters the storage chamber 3 from the window 5
and plant any plant P.

On the other hand, if there is a period in winter when plants are not planted, the window 5 can be closed off with a closing body 6 made of concrete and having the same shape and size as the window 5.

In the above-mentioned block 1A, soil is placed in one block and a window is provided, so there may be cases where a sufficient amount of soil cannot be put in or the plants cannot fit inside. In order to resolve this inconvenience, two or more blocks may share the role. Referring to Figure 2, one block 1C is filled with soil without providing a window. In addition, the housing chamber 3 of this block 1C and the block 1 located above the block 1C
The accommodation chamber 3 of D is made to be continuous. A window 5 is provided in the upper block 1D.

Also shown in FIG. 3 is a block 1E molded into a shape that facilitates the introduction of rainwater and the care of plants. The block 1E has a concave portion 7 at the bottom of the block that accommodates soil projected forward at the front. Manufacture is easy if this block 1E is divided into upper and lower halves and molded separately.

Furthermore, the block may be provided with a drain hole (not shown) for draining excess water.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, plants can be grown on the fence;
Create a rich outdoor space.

Since the window is installed above the containment chamber, soil will not be washed away by wind and rain.

FIG. 3 is a front view of a fence with blocks according to other embodiments, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of blocks according to other embodiments. 1A: Block, 3: Containment room, 4: Front, 5:
window.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. In a cube-shaped concrete block 1A for constructing a wall, a storage chamber 2 for storing plants and soil is provided inside the block 1A, and the storage chamber 2 is provided above the front face 4 of the storage chamber 2. This plant block for wall construction is characterized in that it has a window 5 that communicates the wall 2 with the outside, and is made by growing soil and plants after the wall construction.
