Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for growing plants, which can favorably grow plants and the like.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Conventionally, a simple container for growing plants etc. at home has been proposed, but the conventional container has only a hole at the bottom that serves as both water passage and drainage, so it is practical. Was very low.

The present invention solves such a point, and it is a technical problem to provide a highly practical container for growing plants.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A container 1 having an open top for storing plants, seeds, bulbs, and soil, and a saucer 3 laid below the container 1 and provided with a peripheral wall 2 so that water can be stored. The bottom of the container 1 is formed in the raised bottom 4 leaving the surroundings, and the drain hole 5 is formed in the raised bottom 4, and the water passage hole 7 is formed in the lower bottom 6 around the raised bottom 4. On the other hand, the depth of the tray 3 is set so that the height of the raised bottom 4 of the container 1 is set to a lower depth, and the tray 3 is placed at the opening of the top of the container 1 with the peripheral wall 2 facing upward. The present invention relates to a container for growing plants, characterized in that the peripheral wall 2 can be attached in any state in which the peripheral wall 2 faces downward.

[0006]

[Action]

 For example, soil and a desired bulb are put in the container 1, and a saucer 3 is attached to the opening of the container 1 for sale.

When supplying water to the bulb, the purchaser lays the saucer 3 under the container 1 with the peripheral wall 2 facing upward, and supplies water to the saucer 3 (the water may be supplied to the container 1 as well. ). The water stored in the saucer 3 is absorbed through the water passage hole 7 in the bottom 6. Further, the water in the container 1 is led out to the tray 3 from the drain hole 5 of the raised bottom 4. Since the upper bottom 4 of the container 1 is located at a position higher than the height of the peripheral wall 2 of the saucer 3, water does not accumulate on the raised bottom 4 and rooting does not occur.

Further, a saucer 3 is attached to the opening of the container 1 for keeping heat at night so that germination is not damaged by dew frost or the like. When the saucer 3 is attached so that the peripheral wall 2 faces upward, even if the height of germination is high, it is possible.

【Example】

 1, 2, 3 and 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment having different shapes.

This will be described below.

Both the container 1 and the tray 3 in the drawing are molded by plastic integral molding (the tray 3 is transparent so that the inside can be seen when the container 1 is fitted).

The container 1 has a raised bottom 4 formed at the center of the bottom leaving the surroundings, and a low bottom 6 around the raised bottom 4 is formed in a state of being divided by a recess, and the raised bottom 4 and the low bottom 6 are respectively Grooves are formed as the drain holes 5 and the water passage holes 7 (a narrow groove is desirable in consideration of the fact that the soil in the container 1 does not lead out). Needless to say, these grooves serve to ventilate the bulbs and the like in the container 1.

Reference numeral 8 is a protrusion for improving the water flow from the water hole 7.

A locking step 9 for locking the tray 3 is formed in the upper opening of the container 1. Reference numeral 11 is a projecting piece that prevents the upper container 1 from being fitted deeply into the lower container 1 when the containers 1 are stacked.

Further, the receiving tray 3 shown in the drawing has a peripheral wall 2 provided upright around the bottom, and a peripheral flange 10 for engaging with the engaging step portion 9 is provided at the tip of the peripheral wall 2 in a line. There is.

Reference numeral 12 is a projection piece formed for the same purpose as the projection piece 11 and for positioning the container 1 placed on the tray 3.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by laying the saucer 3 under the container 1 (see FIG. 1), water can be satisfactorily supplied to the bulbs and the like in the container 1 as well as the saucer 3 The inside of the container 1 can be kept warm by fitting it into the opening of the container 1 (see Fig. 3), the germination of bulbs can be protected from dew and frost, and the opening 3 of the container 1 is covered with the saucer 3. In the state (preferably the state where the peripheral wall 2 faces downward because there is nothing protruding from the top surface of the container 1), it is possible to transport with the bulbs, soil, etc. inside the container 1 (see Fig. 2). As a result, the container 1, the saucer 3, the bulb and the soil can be sold as a set to the general consumer, thus increasing the commercial value.

4 and 5 are different in shape, and the rest are the same as in the first embodiment.

Reference numeral 13 is a recess for water supply, which is formed so as to supply water well when water is supplied to the tray 3 laid under the container 1.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it provides an excellent container for growing plants, which can favorably carry out simple growing of plants at home.
