Even if fixed by any means such as welding, bonding, screwing, nailing,
Either may be used. In the latter case, the support legs need not necessarily be made of the same material as the top plate.

[0011] In the flowerpot conveying apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, the number of the flowerpot-fitting recesses formed on the surface of the top plate is as follows:
The arrangement is not particularly limited as long as the front, rear, left and right are balanced, and is preferably engraved line-symmetrically or point-symmetrically.

The shape of the concave portion is not particularly limited. For example, even if the concave groove is engraved concentrically so that different size flower pots can be fitted in the same place, concentric circular shapes having different depths are formed. The concave portion may be engraved in a stepped manner, and may be any.

In the flowerpot transporting device according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the material of the supporting arm of the transporting vehicle is not particularly limited as long as it is a material having high rigidity. A metal or the like may be used. For reinforcement, it may be bent into a substantially hat-shaped steel cross section, or may be provided with a ridge.

In the flowerpot transporting apparatus according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the size of the wheels of the transporting vehicle is not particularly limited, but is relatively large so that obstacles such as sills can be easily overcome when moving. Preferably, it is made larger.

[0015] The material of the wheel is not particularly limited.
The grounding portion is preferably made of a material having high elasticity such as synthetic rubber.

In the flowerpot transporting apparatus according to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the material of the handle of the transporting vehicle is not particularly limited as long as it is a material having high rigidity. Metal tubes and the like can be mentioned. The shape of the handle is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a substantially zigzag shape or a substantially T-shaped shape.
