Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shelf board used for a gardening shelf on which flower pots and the like are placed, and particularly to a gardening shelf board whose main body is made of styrofoam.

In conventional gardening shelves, wooden shelves are generally used, and considering that they are usually exposed to rain outdoors, wood with excellent water resistance, such as Aviton, is used. Alternatively, deciduous pine wood is used.

However, shelves made of these types of wood are very heavy, making them difficult for housewives and children to handle, and they are also expensive.Furthermore, because they are made of wood, they are unavoidably expensive. There was a drawback that this could occur.

On the other hand, as a solution to the above-mentioned drawbacks of wooden shelves,
Some shelves are made of metal, but since the surface of these metal shelves is smooth, the pots can easily slip, and on sunny days, the temperature of the shelves can become too high due to the heat of the sun. There were problems such as having a negative impact on plants, etc.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.The shelf board body is formed of a polystyrene foam plate, a groove is bored in the longitudinal direction of the shelf board, and a drainage hole is formed at the bottom of the groove. By opening the container, it improves drainage and ventilation, prevents root rot of plants in flower pots, is lightweight and easy to carry, and does not cause bulk on the shelves.
The surface of the shelf has a non-slip surface, so you can stably place flower pots, etc., and the temperature of the shelf will not rise even under the scorching sun (in addition, it is inexpensive and colorful. To provide a horticultural shelf board which can easily obtain a beautiful appearance and has good drainage and ventilation.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a gardening shelf A with three levels of shelves.

This gardening shelf A consists of a pair of leg stands 1 arranged almost parallel to each other.
, 1, three pairs of columns 2 that are vertically attached to the bases 1, 1 and have different lengths, connecting members 3, 3 that connect the columns of the same height to each other, and each column 2. It includes a shelf board holder 4 attached to the upper end of the shelf board holder 4, and a shelf board 5 attached to each shelf board holder 4.

The materials of the leg base 1, support 2, connecting member 3, and shelf support 4 are not particularly limited, and conventionally known materials such as steel, aluminum, and wood may be used.

The shelf board 5 has a long shelf main body 5a made of expanded polystyrene, and a groove 6 for drainage and ventilation is bored in the center of the upper surface of the shelf main body 5a over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. (Figure 2).

Drain holes 7 are bored in this groove 6 at appropriate intervals as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a reinforcing edge provided at the peripheral edge of the styrofoam shelf body 5a, which serves to reinforce the black line strength of the shelf body 5a and prevent damage to the edge.

This reinforcing edge 8 may be provided around the entire periphery of the shelf body 5a as shown in FIG. It is also possible to configure so that it is provided.

This reinforcing edge 8 is formed into a channel shape, and is fitted into the shelf body 5a by fitting the side edge of the shelf body 5a into the groove 9, as shown in FIG.

Therefore, the upper surface of the reinforcing edge 8 is higher than the upper surface of the shelf body 5a, and this reinforcing edge 8 prevents the flowerpot 9 and the like from slipping off the upper surface of the shelf 5.

The surface of the styrofoam shelf body 5a is much rougher than a smooth metal plate, etc., making it difficult for flower pots B etc. to slip, but the presence of the reinforcing edge 8 prevents flower pots B etc. Sliding and falling will be completely prevented.

However, it is not necessarily an essential component that the upper surface of the reinforcing edge 8 is higher than the upper surface of the shelf body 5a, and for example, as shown in FIG. The reinforcing edge 8 is fitted onto the shelf body 5a by forming a tenon-like protrusion 10 and fitting the tenon-like protrusion 10 into the groove 9, so that the upper surface of the reinforcing edge 8 and the upper surface of the shelf body 5a are flush with each other. Even if configured to be one, the flowerpot B is stably placed and there is no risk of it slipping down due to the roughness of the surface of the Styrofoam shelf body 5a.

Furthermore, this example has the advantage that the flowerpot B will not tilt even if it is placed on the side edge of the shelf board 5.

The material of this reinforcing edge 8 is not particularly limited either, and metal, plastic, etc. can be used, but a metal shape material such as an aluminum alloy is suitable.

That is, as mentioned above, the reinforcing edge 8 serves to reinforce the shelf main body 5a and prevent damage to the edge, so it is preferably made of metal such as aluminum, and is treated with anti-rust and anti-corrosion treatment. Preferably.

In addition, when fitting the reinforcing material 8 to the shelf main body 5, an adhesive may be used, or the reinforcing material 8 may be simply clamped and fitted without using an adhesive.

Further, it is most preferable that the reinforcing member 8 has a side channel shape as in the illustrated embodiment, but it can also be configured, for example, in a side cursor shape and attached using an adhesive.

The shelf main body 5a of the present invention is formed of a styrene foam board, but in terms of strength, a hard board made of low styrofoam is preferable.

This Styrofoam) 1/no manufacturing process consists of beads (original particles)
is heated in advance to cause primary foaming, left for a certain period of time, cured, and dried, then packed into a mold that can produce plate-shaped or bronc-shaped products, and heated again to cause secondary foaming, filling in the gaps between grains and forming mutually It is molded by being fused to.

As this low-foam polystyrene board, a foam product of about 15 times is suitable.Furthermore, in order to reinforce the compressive strength of the shelf board, the above-mentioned reinforcing material 8 is fitted, so it is extremely safe as a shelf board for gardening. This provides strength.

In addition, this polystyrene foam board is lightweight and easy to handle, and can withstand severe outdoor climate changes throughout the seasons, and like wooden boards, it does not warp due to moisture penetration or the repeated strength and weakness of solar energy.
No corrosion, insect damage, or other deterioration of board quality will occur.

In addition, the weather resistance temperature range of this Styrofoam board is -55℃
It has a very wide temperature range of ~70°C, and a colorful coating film can be easily formed on the board surface.

As described above, the present invention has a shelf board made of styrofoam, so it is lightweight and easy to transport and handle. Therefore, it can be easily handled by housewives, children, etc., and can be used as a small bonsai for general household use. Suitable for horticultural use.

In addition, the shelf does not get stiff like a wooden shelf, and the surface of the shelf is non-slip, so the flowerpot can be placed stably and there is no chance of it slipping off.

Furthermore, even if exposed to the scorching sun, the temperature of the shelves will not rise.

Furthermore, since styrofoam can be obtained cheaply, the cost of the shelf board is also low, and at least the edges on both sides are provided with reinforced edges, which strengthens the strength and eliminates the disadvantage of damaging the edges. It will never exist.

Moreover, a colorful appearance can be easily obtained by painting.

In addition, the present invention has a concave groove bored in the longitudinal direction of the shelf board body,
Since the drainage hole is bored at the bottom of the groove, drainage and ventilation, which are important for the plants in the flowerpot, are extremely good, and root rot of the plants can be prevented.
