Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a flower pot that does not require a saucer and is particularly suitable for indoor use.

[Conventional technology]

This type of flowerpot has an inner pot and an outer pot.
A double pot is known in which a bottom water storage space and a peripheral space are continuously formed between them.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] This double pot does not necessarily provide sufficient ventilation in the bottom space, and soil may spill when the pot is tilted for drainage. In addition, it is difficult to manufacture and expensive to combine an inner pot and an outer pot that are molded separately and to continuously form a bottom water storage space and an outer peripheral space between them. There were various shortcomings. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flower pot that eliminates these drawbacks and inconveniences.

[Means to solve the problem]

The composition of the flower pot of the present invention is as follows. The pot body 1 has a bottom plate 2 that does not have a drainage hole.
and a peripheral wall 3 whose diameter gradually increases upward.
, a collar 4 around the upper opening 1', and inwardly bulging walls 9, 9 of the opposing portions of the peripheral wall 3 are integrally molded. Between the bulging walls 9, 9 and the peripheral wall 3, upper end openings 5', 5' are open to the outside of the pot body 1 below the brim 4, and lower end openings 5'', 5'' are open to the outside of the pot body 1. A pair of elongated cylindrical vertical passages 5, 5 are formed which communicate with each other in the bottom of the cylinder. A synthetic resin insole body 6 is formed by providing a plurality of leg pieces 8 on a base plate 7 having a large number of small holes 7' scattered therein.
Recesses 10, 10 formed at opposing positions of the base plate 7
is fitted into the bulging walls 9, 9, the pot body 1
It is housed inside and can be taken out at will. A bottom space a is defined below the base plate 7 of the midsole body 6, and the lower end openings 5'', 5'' of the vertical passages 5, 5 are communicated with the bottom space a.

[Effect]

As long as irrigation is appropriate, the bottom space a maintains the required space and is properly ventilated through the vertical passage 5, contributing to the growth of the plants. The water stored in the bottom space a is discharged through the top opening 1'.
Alternatively, the upper end opening 5' is located at a lower position than the part of the tsuba 4.
Since the discharging can be carried out through the vertical passage 5 where the soil is disposed, unlike when discharging from the top opening 1' or the collar 4, the discharging can be easily carried out without spilling the soil in the pot. Moreover, in that case, since air is introduced through the other vertical passage 5, drainage is carried out smoothly. It is simple in construction, easy to manufacture, and relatively low in cost.

【Example】

The illustrated embodiment will be described in detail below. 1 is a synthetic resin pot body, which consists of a bottom plate 2 without a drainage hole, a peripheral wall 3 whose diameter gradually increases upward, and a flange 4 around an opening 1' on its top surface. It is molded in one piece. Reference numerals 5 and 5 designate a pair of elongated cylindrical vertical passages formed in opposing portions of the peripheral wall 3, with upper end openings 5',
5' is open to the outside of the pot body 1 at the upper surface opening 1', more specifically below the collar 4, and the lower end openings 5'', 5'' are communicated with the inside of the pot body 1 at the bottom thereof. Reference numeral 6 denotes a synthetic resin insole body made of a plurality of leg pieces 8 of a base plate 7 with a large number of small holes 7' scattered therein, and the above-mentioned pair of vertical legs 8 are provided at opposite positions of the base plate 7. Recesses 10, 10 are provided which fit into the inwardly bulging walls 9, 9 forming the passages 5, 5. This middle bottom body 6 is removably housed in the pot body 1 with its recesses 10, 10 fitted into the bulging walls 9, 9, and defines a bottom space a below the base plate 7. The lower end openings 5'', 5'' of the vertical passages 5, 5 communicate with the bottom space a. 11, 11 is a floating body 12, 12 with a marker thin line 13,
13 is installed in the vertical passage 5, 5, and usually the floating body 12,
12 is located corresponding to the bottom space a, and the upper ends of the thin marker lines 13, 13 are recessed inside the upper end openings 5', 5'. Soil for plant growth (including natural soil and artificial soil)
is filled in the space above the midsole body 6, and necessary plants are planted there. When water is applied to this area, the excess water is drained away from the area around the base plate 7 or through the small holes 7' scattered around it.
It flows into the bottom space a and accumulates there. As long as irrigation is appropriate, the bottom space a maintains the required space and is constantly ventilated through the vertical passages 5, 5, contributing to the growth of the plants. The water stored in the bottom space a can be easily discharged from the upper end opening 5' of one of the vertical passages 5 by tilting the pot body 1. In this case, air can be discharged through the other vertical passage 5. Since it is introduced, its drainage is carried out smoothly. In addition, as the water accumulates in the bottom space a, the float type water level display members 11, 11 rise in the vertical passages 5, 5, and when the water level reaches the base plate 7, the thin marker line 13, 13 is the upper end opening 5',
Since the 5' skein protrudes, it is possible to tell that drainage is required.

[Effect of the idea]

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects. As long as irrigation is appropriate, the bottom space a maintains the required space and is properly ventilated through the vertical passage 5, contributing to the growth of the plants. Since the upper end opening 5' of the vertical passage 5 is opened at a lower position than the upper surface opening 1' or the collar 4, when draining the water stored in the bottom space a, the upper end opening 5' is called the upper surface opening 5. Compared to the case where the opening is opened at a high position, it is sufficient to tilt the pot body 1 less, which makes drainage work easier and prevents the soil in the pot from spilling during the drainage work. Furthermore, there is no risk of clogging the vertical passage 5 with soil when filling the pot with soil. Moreover, since air can be introduced through the other vertical passage 5, drainage can be carried out smoothly. The pot body 1 includes a bottom plate 2, a peripheral wall 3, a collar 4,
It has a structure integrally molded with bulging walls 9, 9 placed oppositely, and has a double wall structure like a known one,
In other words, it is different from a pot body that combines an inner pot and an outer pot that are molded separately, with a bottom water storage space and an outer peripheral space continuously formed between them, and is easy to manufacture and can be manufactured at low cost. . If the outer circumference of the pot body is the same, the single wall structure of the present invention can have a larger volume than the known double wall structure.
