Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a multifunctional viewing device integrally formed on a top plate facing a window of a building. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multifunctional viewing device that can be selectively used as a small greenhouse for plants, hydroponic cultivation of plants, an aquarium for fish, and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Although some Japanese-style rooms still remain in modern homes, they are basically Westernized, with a strong impression of the inorganic feel and dullness of the concrete.

The inorganic feel and dullness caused by concrete has been improved by using atmospheric wallpaper and Japanese tan, but among them, placing potted plants such as flowers and trees, and fish tanks indoors to create a natural feel. Efforts are being made to create an atmosphere.

Conventionally, when placing a potted plant indoors, for example, the potted plant was simply placed directly on an opening of a building where sunlight streams in, such as a ceiling board facing a bay window.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Do not place potted plants directly on the top plate.
The disadvantage is that the pot itself is exposed, making it unsightly. For this reason, pots were often placed in pot cases in order to harmonize with the room.

Additionally, placing tall plants creates a feeling of pressure and blocks sunlight from entering the room from outside. Therefore, ornamental plants that can be placed on the top plate are limited to plants that are short in height.

Furthermore, it is not economical to place a fish tank in place of plants, etc., as a new tank must be prepared. must be secured.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is that it can be selectively used as a small greenhouse for plants, hydroponic cultivation of plants, aquariums for fish, etc., and can also reduce problems caused by the height of plants even when used as a small greenhouse for plants. The object of the present invention is to provide an economical multifunctional viewing device.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in the present invention, a pit having an engaging stepped portion on the outer peripheral edge is formed on the top plate facing the window of the building,
At the engagement step part of this pit, there is a lid made of a transparent material whose central part bulges upward with respect to the peripheral edge, or a flat plate-like lid with a hole, or a central part which bulges upward with respect to the peripheral edge. The bulging net-like lid body is configured to be removably engaged.

[Effect]

Therefore, if a transparent lid is engaged with the pit and plants are housed inside the pit through soil or potted plants are directly stored therein, the pit can be used as a small greenhouse for plants. Furthermore, if the lid is made into a flat plate and water is filled inside, it can be used as an aquarium for hydroponic cultivation of plants. Furthermore, if the lid is made into a net-like lid and water is put inside, it can be used as a fish tank, or if insects are put inside, it can be used as an insect cage. Therefore, it can be used as an appreciation device for various functions and is economical.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a horizontal top plate 14 is installed at a predetermined height from a floor 13 at a position facing a window 12 of a building 11. A sliding door 16 having a glass plate 15 is fitted into the window portion 12 so as to be openable and closable. Therefore, the glass plate 15 of the sliding door 16
Sunlight from outside is allowed to enter the room through the roof.

A relatively shallow pit 21 is formed in the top plate 14. The pit 21 is formed of FRP, stainless steel, or the like into a flat container shape that is concave toward the bottom. An engaging stepped portion 23 is integrally formed on the peripheral edge of the top plate 14, slightly inside the attachment portion 22 and downwardly downward.
A drain pipe 25 having a valve 24 in the middle is connected to the bottom surface. A stopper 26 is removably and selectively fitted to one end of the drain pipe 25, here the open end of the pit 21, and the other end is connected to the outdoors or to a drainage hole.

Any of the lid 31 shown in FIG. 2, the lid 41 shown in FIG. 3, and the lid 51 shown in FIGS. It is becoming more and more engaged.

The lid body 31 is formed of a transparent material such as plastic or glass so that the middle part bulges upward relative to the peripheral part, and a large number of ventilation holes 32 are formed in the peripheral wall part as necessary. has been done. The lid 41 is formed into a flat plate having the same thickness as the engagement step 23 of the pit 21, and has a plurality of tapered holes 42 at predetermined positions whose diameter gradually decreases downward. The lid body 51 is formed of a material such as a net so that the middle part bulges upward relative to the peripheral part.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the drain pipe 25 opening at the bottom of the pit 21 is fitted with a plug 26,
After putting a predetermined amount of soil into the pit 21 and planting plants therein, if the lid 31 is engaged with the engagement step 23 of the pit 21, it can be used as a small greenhouse for plants. . Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2,
A similar effect can be expected even if a potted plant is directly stored in the pit 21. In this way, compared to the case where potted plants, plantains, etc. are placed on the top plate 14 for viewing, the recessed size of the pit 21 is lower than the top surface of the top plate 14, so relatively tall plants can be viewed. However, you can place it without feeling pressured, and the sunlight coming into the room from outside is less likely to be blocked by plants. In addition, if you fill the pit 21 with soil and plant small plants, you can enjoy it as a miniature garden.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, from the pit 21 to the stopper 2
6 and drain a predetermined amount of water into the pit 21, the lid 41 is engaged with the engagement step 23 of the pit 21, and a bulb or the like can be placed in the hole 42 of the lid 41. For example, it can be used as a water tank for hydroponic cultivation. In this case, if the lid 41 is made of a transparent material, the growth status of the roots of the bulb can be observed from the outside. By draining the water inside the pit 21 through the drain pipe 25, the inside of the pit 21 can be used as a storage space, and since the lid 41 and the top plate 14 are flush with each other, it is possible to store items stably on the lid 41. You can also leave it there. However, in such use, it is preferable that the lid body 41 is made of an opaque material.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a plug 26 is attached to the pit 21.
At the same time, if the lid 51 is engaged with the engagement step 23 of the pit 21 and a butterfly or insect is stored inside, it can be used as an insect cage. moreover,
As shown in FIG. 5, by filling a predetermined amount of water in the pit 21 and storing fish, turtles, etc. there, it can be used as a normal aquarium.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a pit 21 is formed in the top plate 14 facing the window 12, and three types of lid bodies 31, 41, and 51 are detachably engaged with the engagement step 23 of this pit 21. I made it so that one pit 2
1 can be used for many more purposes. For example, the lid 31 can be used as a small greenhouse for plants, the lid 41 can be used as an aquarium for hydroponic cultivation of plants, and the lid 51 can be used as an aquarium for insect cages or fish. I can do it. Therefore, it is economical.

In addition, since the pit 21 is recessed downward from the top surface of the top plate 14, even relatively tall plants can be placed there without feeling pressured, and sunlight from outside entering the room is less likely to be blocked by plants. I'll try it.

In addition, there is a valve 24 on the bottom of the pit 21.
Since the drain pipe 25 having a water tank is connected, drainage can be easily carried out especially when used as a water tank. Moreover, since the plug 26 can be selectively fitted to the open end of the drain pipe 25, if the plug 26 is attached in advance when putting soil etc. into the pit 21, the soil will flow into the drain pipe 25. It can prevent it from flowing in.

In the above embodiment, the pit 2 is placed on the top plate 14 inside the vertical window 12 formed in the building 11.
Although this is an example in which a pit 21 is formed on the top plate 14 of the bay window 61 of the building 11, it is sufficient to form the pit 21 on the top plate 14 of the bay window 61 of the building 11 as shown in FIG. Effective.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the window portion 12 of the building 11
When two upper and lower top plates 14A and 14B facing the top plate are provided, pits 21A and 21B are formed in each top plate 14A and 14B, respectively, and water from the upper pit 21A is passed through the communication pipe 71. It is also possible to introduce the water into the lower pit 21B and circulate the water in the lower pit 21B via the pump 72 to the upper pit 21A. Furthermore, if different types of plants are planted in the upper and lower pits 21A and 21B, a rich variety of viewing can be expected.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, it can be selectively used as a small greenhouse for plants, hydroponic cultivation of plants, aquariums for fish, etc., and even when used as a small greenhouse for plants, there are no problems due to the height of the plants. It can be reduced,
Moreover, an economical multi-functional viewing device can be provided.
