Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a planter hanger for suspending a planter for the culture of grass and flower on a guard-railing of a porch, a fence, a block wall, etc., capable of stably suspending a planter in horizontal state independent of the shape of the guard-railing, fence or block wall and effective for surely clamping the top of the guard-railing, etc., to stabilize the planter. SOLUTION: The upper parts of a proper number of supporting members 2 are fixed in lateral direction to a nearly box-shaped holding frame 1 made of metallic wires and having a lateral rectangular form. A pair of hanger members 3 are fixed in vertical direction to the holding frame. Both ends of a separate nearly U-shaped stopper 4 are attached to the lower part of two hanger members in freely fixable and horizontally slidable manner. The parts horizontally protruded at the upper part of a separate auxiliary hanger may be connected in freely slidable and fixable manner to the horizontally protruded part at the upper part of two hanger members.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a planter hanger used for suspending a planter for planting flowers on a handrail of a veranda of a house, a fence or a block fence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been hangers for suspending planters for growing flowers such as balustrades on balconies of houses, fences or block walls, etc., but there is no way to prevent them from moving to the left or right. It wasn't done. Then, further, a device was devised in which a wire box was formed into a substantially box shape to form a planter storage portion, and a hanger was provided in the storage portion.

[0003]

In the above, the planter could be prevented from moving in the left-right direction, but since the structure of the hanger portion is simple, the locking effect is poor and the holder is It had the drawback that it could easily fall with the planter. Furthermore, when it is hung on the handrail of a veranda, the holder becomes tilted, which makes it unattractive and makes it more difficult to hang the hanger, making it easier to drop. Moreover, because the planter to be placed is inclined, the water for watering flows to the lower side, which adversely affects the flowers.

The present invention was invented in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to ensure the hanging effect of the hanger, and further to the handrail of the veranda and the like. The present invention intends to provide a planter hanger having a structure in which the holder does not tilt even when it is hung on the floor.

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A planter hanger formed of a metal wire rod into a substantially rectangular box shape for housing a planter. The planter hanger supports an appropriate number of planters in the lateral direction of the upper storage frame 1. The upper end portion of the member 2 is fixedly provided, and further, two hanger members 3 are fixedly provided in the front-rear direction of the storage frame 1 at appropriate intervals, and are separately provided and formed into a substantially U-shape. Both ends of the stopper 4 are located below the two hanger members 3,
It is configured to be slidably and fixedly connected in the front-rear horizontal direction, and is further connected to the upper portions 3B of the two hanger members 3,
An upper end portion 5A protruding in the horizontal direction above the auxiliary hanger 5 provided separately is slidably and fixedly connected.

[0006]

Since the planter housing frame 1 is formed in a substantially box shape, it is possible to reliably prevent the planter housed inside from moving and falling. Further, the hanger member 3 provided above the planter storage frame 1 is hooked on the handrail or the upper part of the block wall, and the hanger member 3 and the auxiliary hanger 5 are attached to the upper part of the handrail or the block wall. Although the planter is stored in the storage frame 1, the auxiliary hanger 4 connected to the lower part of the hanger member 3 contacts the iron bar below the handrail, so that the planter hanger does not become inclined.

Further, since the hanger member 3 and the auxiliary hanger 5 connected to the upper part firmly hold the upper part such as the handrail and the block wall, the hanger containing the planter should be firmly held. You can

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The planter hanger of the present invention is formed of a thin metal rod, and an adhesive portion of the metal rod on the main body other than the sliding member. Are fixed by welding or the like. At the upper part of the storage frame 1 for storing the planter, both ends of the two support members 2 are fixed to a frame formed in a partially cutout horizontal rectangle, but the support member 2 has an appropriate depth. The storage frame 1 has been bent to form a
Are formed in a substantially box shape. The size of the storage frame 1 is formed so that almost all commercially available planters can be stored, but the depth thereof is slightly lower than the height of the planters. Further, two hanger members 3 are fixed to the storage frame 1 in the front-rear direction at appropriate intervals, and an upper portion 3A thereof is formed in an inverted U shape to form a locking portion. The lower part of the hanger member 3 is lowered to the position of the support member 2 and further extends forward and rises, and the upper end part thereof is fixed to the front part of the storage frame 1, and the lower parts of the two hanger members 3 are arranged in front of and behind the planter. The two hanger members 3 and the two support members 2 substitute for the side surface and the bottom surface of the box.

A stopper 4 formed in a substantially U-shape
The end portion of is connected to the lower portion of the hanger member 3 by the connecting member 6, and is slidable and fixable. The connecting member 6 includes two holding plates 7 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
It can be slid and fixed by using the bolt 8 and the wing nut 9.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the shape and structure of the two hanger members 3 are different from those of the first embodiment, but the other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment. That is, the auxiliary hanger 5 is substantially U-shaped and has an upper end 5A protruding horizontally.
However, it is connected to the horizontal portion of the upper portion 3B of the hanger member 3 by the connecting member 6 described in the above embodiment, and can be slid and fixed.

The upper surface of the storage frame 1 to which the two hanger members 3 are fixed can be used between the two hanger members 3 without providing the portion indicated by A in FIG.

When the planter hanger of the present invention is used to support the planter, the two hangers are hung on the handrail of the veranda, for example, and the handrail is supported by the hanger member 3 and the auxiliary hanger 5 as shown in FIG. And the front end of the stopper 4 at the bottom of the main body is brought into contact with the vertical bar of the handrail. After stabilizing the hanger vertically in this way, the planter is housed inside. In this way, the planter can be supported horizontally and stably.

[0013]

As described above, since the planter hanger of the present invention is formed of a thin wire rod, it is easy to manufacture and can be formed light in weight. Further, since the stopper 4 provided in the lower portion is provided so as to be slidable and fixable in the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG.
You can adjust the position of to stabilize the planter horizontally. Further, since the auxiliary hanger is slidably and fixedly provided on the upper part of the hanger member, there is an advantage that it can be securely attached and stabilized even to handrails or block walls having different widths.
