Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant shelf for receiving climbing plants.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A plant shelf in which a lattice-shaped shelf is erected on a mounting table on which planters are mounted is known (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-20549). According to this, the plant shelf can be moved together with the planter.

Further, a pair of garnets which are separated from each other by a predetermined distance and buried in the ground, a gate-shaped frame whose lower ends are fixed to the garnets, a lattice-shaped net body stretched over the frames, A plant shelf is also known, which is provided at the upper end of the frame and is provided with a locking metal fitting that locks to the block wall (Actual Kaihei 4-4).
3949 gazette). According to this, the wall surface of the block wall can be greened by climbing plants.

However, the vines of the climbing plants sometimes fall sideways along the plant shelf due to their own weight and are not entangled with the wire rods of the plant shelf. Further, in order to make the climbing plants dense, it is conceivable to narrow the intervals between the vertical wire rods that form the lattice-shaped plant shelf, but one vertical wire rod may be entangled with multiple vines and interfere with each other. , Vine leaves entwined with adjacent vertical wires may interfere with each other, resulting in poor sunlight exposure to each leaf and poor growth.

On the other hand, if two lattice-shaped shelves are faced to each other at regular intervals and a vine plant is planted between them, even if the vine falls down sideways, one of the shelves will eventually come into contact. Then, it will be entangled with the wire rod on the shelf, but the number of parts will increase. In addition, the climbing plants may be entangled with only one of the shelves. Even if the vines are entangled in both shelves, the vine leaves entwined in one of the shelves may be shaded by the vine leaves entwined in the other shelf, preventing sunlight from shining and hindering their growth.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides
By forming a zig-zag bent grid-like shelf, entwining plants can be entwined well without making the shelves themselves double, and vine plants can be made dense. . Hereinafter, the invention according to each claim will be specifically described.

<Invention of Claim 1> The present invention is a plant shelf for placing a climbing plant, which is provided with a space between the plants, and the positions of which are alternately shifted rightward and leftward. A plurality of vertical wire rods extending in the vertical direction and a plurality of zigzag horizontal wire rods that are provided at intervals in the vertical direction and that are bent to the right alternately to the left and extend laterally, and each bent portion of the horizontal wire rod is It is characterized in that it is connected to each vertical wire and is formed in a zigzag bent grid pattern.

According to the present invention, even if the vine of the climbing plant falls sideways due to its own weight, if it is within the width of the zigzag of the horizontal wire,
Zigzag will come into contact with horizontal or vertical wire,
It becomes easy to get entangled in these wire rods.

Further, since a plurality of vertical wire rods are arranged in a zigzag manner, the actual spacing between adjacent vertical wire rods is widened to prevent one vertical wire rod from being entangled with a plurality of vines, and at the same time, the plant shelf It is possible to make the apparent spacing between adjacent vertical wire rods narrow when viewed from the front so that the vegetation density of climbing plants per unit length in the lateral direction of the plant shelf is high.

Further, when a vertical wire rod protruding toward the sun and a vertical wire rod forming a concave portion are produced depending on the arrangement of the plant shelves, the vine leaves entwined with the vertical wire rod forming a concave portion are formed in the convex portion. Sunlight hits a little worse than the vine leaves entwined with a vertical wire. However, since the direction of the sun changes depending on the movement of the sun, sunlight does not necessarily come into contact with the vine leaves entwined with the vertical wire that forms the depression, and its growth is not significantly hindered.

Here, the bending angle of the zigzag horizontal wire is preferably about 90 to 150 degrees. The reason for setting the angle to 90 degrees or more is that when bending a zigzag horizontal wire from a metal (for example, steel) wire, the bending becomes difficult if the angle is less than 90 degrees, and the vertical wire that becomes the above-mentioned recess is entangled with a vine. This is because the sunlight on the leaves gets worse. The reason for setting the angle to 150 degrees or less is that at an angle larger than that, the effect of making the temples entangled easily and the effect of narrowing the apparent spacing between the adjacent vertical wires cannot be sufficiently obtained. Of course, the bending angle may be smaller than 90 degrees or larger than 150 degrees as required.

<Invention of Claim 2> According to the present invention, in the plant shelf described in claim 1, a lower end horizontal portion projecting in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the shelf surface is provided at a lower end of each vertical wire rod. Two lower end horizontal wires which are continuous and extend in the lateral direction at right and left intervals are joined to the lower end horizontal parts of the respective vertical wire members, and two lower end horizontal parts of the two adjacent vertical wire members in the horizontal direction are connected to each other.
It is a plant shelf characterized in that a rectangular support frame for supporting the vine is formed by the lower end horizontal wire of the book.

In the case of the present invention, a climbing plant is planted below a rectangular support frame so that the vine grows through the support frame, so that the vine is supported by the support frame and the vines are supported near the root. It is possible to prevent the temple from falling down.

[0014]

According to the invention of claim 1, since a plurality of vertical wire rods arranged in a zigzag pattern and a plurality of zigzag horizontal wire rods form a lattice-like shelf bent in a zigzag pattern, the vine of a climbing plant is obtained. Tend to be entangled in the vertical and horizontal wire rods, and it is possible to increase the density of vines without hindering the growth of climbing plants, which is advantageous for greening or cultivation of crops.

According to the invention of claim 2, in the plant shelf of claim 1, the lower end of each vertical wire is provided with a lower end horizontal portion projecting in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the shelf surface, and each vertical wire member Since two lower end horizontal wires are joined to the lower end horizontal portion of the wire to form a rectangular support frame, it is possible to support the vine of the climbing plant by this support frame and entangle it with the main body of the shelf, It will be more advantageous for greening or for the growth of crops.
