Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a planter, and more particularly to a planter for suspending an existing or existing flower pot in a room, a balcony or a greenhouse.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various types of planters have been put into practical use, so that plants can be enjoyed indoors and on balconies, but it is difficult to secure a garden in Japan, where the effective land use area is scarce. Planters are becoming essential for lovers and some gardeners in urban areas. A typical example of such a planter is a synthetic resin-made oblong container, in which soil is placed and the drainage is improved, is often used for a veranda.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 On the other hand, for indoor use or greenhouse use, a synthetic resin flower pot part and a suspending part (rope part) for suspending this flower pot part in the room are integrally provided, and for indoor use where water leakage is completely eliminated. Although a planter of this type has been proposed, its drainage is not good, and it is difficult to water the water, so it has a very limited usage and is often used for artificial flowers.

According to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-56565, there is proposed a planter stand that can be used for decoration by placing potted plants such as flowers and plants indoors. According to this, the installation place will be occupied.

Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-9549 proposes a planter which is hung in a room or a veranda and can be planted by planting flower seedlings from the upper and side surfaces thereof. However, the types of seedlings planted from the side surface of the flowerpot are limited.

Therefore, the planter of the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make it possible to easily hang an ordinary flower pot in a room, a greenhouse, a veranda, or the like. The purpose is to provide a planter that can be used for watering, and that can effectively use the space.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object, the planter of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, a pair of an annular main body portion having a predetermined inner diameter for supporting the bottom surface portion of the brim portion of the flower pot, and a pair integrally formed so as to be bendable from the annular main body portion and having a suspension portion on at least one side. The arm part and the fixing part for integrally fixing the arm part after the arm part is bent.

Further, preferably, the annular main body portion, the arm portion, and the fixing portion are integrally injection-molded using a predetermined synthetic resin material.

Further, preferably, the annular main body portion is provided with an adjusting portion adapted to the outer diameter of the flower pot.

[0010]

[Action]

 In the above structure, the ring body is inserted so as to support the bottom surface of the brim portion of the flower pot, the pair of arms is bent upward (flower side), and then the arms are fixed to each other in the fixing portion. , Use the hanging part to hang it indoors or on the hook of the balcony so that you can appreciate the flowers. Also, remove the planter so that the flowerpot can be used normally.

[0011]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the planter of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals denote the same objects throughout the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a planter 1 of an embodiment showing one example of the present invention, which is shown by a chain double-dashed line in the drawing together with a flowerpot 10 shown in the drawing.

In the figure, the bottom portion 11 a of the brim portion 11 of the flower pot 10 has an outer diameter d, and forms a reinforcing portion of the flower pot 10. Since the planter of the present embodiment is based on the fact that the bottom portion 11a of the collar portion 11 is inserted and held, the inner diameter D of the annular main body portion 2 of the planter 1 is equal to the bottom portion of the collar portion 11. The size is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter d of 11a.

From the side surface portions on both sides of the annular main body 2 configured as described above, a pair of arm portions 3 are integrally formed so as to be bendable as will be described later, and hook portions 3a, 4a are integrally formed. 4 are provided. These arms 3 and 4 are formed with grooves 3c and 4c and openings 3b and 4b at the attachment portion to the annular main body 2, respectively, so that they can be bent easily.

On the other hand, a projection 5 and a fitting hole 6 are formed in each of the arms 3 and 4 at positions equidistant from the annular main body 2, and the projection 5 fits in the fitting hole 6. Then, a fixing portion is provided in which the arms 3 and 4 are integrated.

Further, hook portions 3a and 4a (described above) having one end opened are provided at the tip end portions of the respective arm portions 3 and 4, and the hook portions 3a ensure the strength. If so, it may be provided on only one side. Further, the hook portion may be simply formed as a hole portion without being opened.

As shown in the figure, the planter 1 described above allows the annular main body portion 2, the arm portions 3 and 4, and the fixing portion (protrusion portion 5, fitting hole 6) to be integrally formed, while polyethylene or the like is used. In the case of integral injection molding using a synthetic resin material with excellent water resistance and weather resistance, the so-called undercut part can be eliminated as much as possible so that it can be molded using a mold with a simple structure, and it is in a molten state. The resin is shaped so that the resin flow is uniform.

The above-mentioned method of using the planter 1 will be briefly described with reference to the use state diagram of FIG. 2. In the state where the arms 3 and 4 are indicated by the alternate long and short dash lines, the flowerpot 10 is attached to the annular main body 2. Set. After that, the arms 3 and 4 are bent in the direction of arrow A in the figure, but at this time, the grooves 3c and 4c can be easily bent.

After being bent in this way, the arms 3 and 4 are made to face each other as shown by the broken lines, and then the projections 5 are fitted into the fitting holes 6 by aligning them in the direction of arrow B. Set to the condition to complete the set.

In this state, the hook portion is hung on the hook portion of the room or the balcony so that the flowers can be viewed. In addition, the planter can be removed so that the plant pot can be used normally. The planter 1 described above can be used as appropriate by preparing several types according to the size of the plant pot. Since it is not preferable to occupy the sales area, it is sold in the state shown in FIG.

Further, FIG. 3 is a side view showing a large number of planters 1 placed, and a large number of them can be stored and sold in a stacked state as shown in FIG. Can be handled without taking up much space.

Finally, FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of the planter of the second embodiment. In this figure, the parts which have already been described are omitted and the description is limited to the characteristic parts. As shown in the drawing, the annular main body part 2 is provided with opposed surface parts 2a and 2b. The adjusting screw 8 is screwed into the adjusting body 8 so that the inner diameter of the annular main body 2 can be adjusted.

According to this configuration, since it can be adapted to the outer diameter of the flower pot 10, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom in use can be further increased.

It is needless to say that the flowerpot containing flowers, soil, water and the like has a considerable weight, and therefore it is necessary to take sufficient measures to prevent the fall, particularly when hanging the flowerpot on the veranda.

[0025]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, an ordinary flower pot can be easily hung in a room, a greenhouse or a veranda so that watering can be performed, and the space that will be occupied by the flower pot can be used for other purposes. It is possible to provide planters that can be effectively used.
