Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cultivator for forced raw vegetables, which is characterized by storing germinated raw vegetables in an upright state and selling them as they are.

Conventionally, as shown in Figure 1, trefoils (2) and other plants are grown hydroponically on a prismatic sponge (1) moistened with water, and the stems of the trefoils (2) are collected and laid down for sale in stores. are doing. Because the leaves and stems come into contact with each other, the leaves and stems may come into contact with each other, leading to early damage and discoloration, leading to a rapid decline in freshness, lowering the product value, and causing a significant drop in nutritional value.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate such drawbacks, preserve germinated vegetables in an upright state, and sell them in stores in a fresh and highly nutritious state.

Below, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in the figure, a beveled lower container made of soft synthetic resin material (
The upper part of 3) is bent outward to form a rim (3), and the rim is recessed downward at several appropriate places to form air circulation openings (4).
), and the opening of the lid body (6) made of a planar transparent soft synthetic resin material having a top that is higher than the depth of the lower container (3) is bent outward to open the flange of the lower container (3). (The flange of the same size as 3Y (forms 5Y and the flange of the lower container (3)
The position facing each air circulation opening (4) provided in 3Y is recessed to form an air circulation opening (6), and the flange (3Y and flange t
One side of each of the containers 5 is connected in a hinge-like manner so that the lid (5) can be opened and closed over the lower container (3). Sponge-like seeding mat (7) is laid on the inner bottom of the lower container (3), water is sprayed on the seeding mat (7), and seeds of daikon radish (8), Japanese radish, watercress, and alfalfa are sown. It is used to germinate seeds.

Note that air holes (9) are provided at the top of the lid (5) to prevent condensation from forming on the top due to the respiration of the plants.

Since the present invention is constructed in this manner, after sowing seeds such as daikon radish (8) on the moist sowing mat (1), the brim (5) of the lid (5) is connected to the lower container (3). )'s rim (
3Y and fasten it with a stapler, cover the lid (5) with a shade that blocks sunlight, and place it indoors. After 2-3 days, it will germinate and the stem will grow. The length of the stem is the operculum (5)
When the daikon radish (8) has grown to a strong point near the top, the leaves are exposed to weak sunlight to change their color to green before being shipped. ) is placed over the lower container (3) and displayed in the same state as when it was sown, and is displayed at stores. Therefore, fresh vegetables that have grown to an appropriate height in the container for about a week will grow. Since the vegetables are preserved and sold in their original state, i.e., with the stems and leaves not crushed, the freshness of the vegetables can be maintained without any damage, so the nutritional value does not decrease, and delicious raw vegetables can be eaten. Since the air circulation openings (4) and (6) are combined to form an opening, the air circulation inside the container is good, and the fresh vegetables can be properly refilled with water through the opening. Can maintain freshness.

In this way, the present invention maintains the growth state of raw vegetables in the container.'=! Its most distinctive feature is that it can be preserved and eaten as raw vegetables, and it can be easily cultivated indoors at home, allowing the enjoyment of growing and eating vegetables.It is also useful for children's observation of nature, and is useful in the manufacture of containers. This is a useful invention that is easy, suitable for mass production, and inexpensive, and suitable as a service product for banks and the like.
