Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a flowerpot, and more particularly to a styrofoam flowerpot with a pot saucer for water supply.

Conventionally, flowerpots made of unglazed ware or ceramics are known.

These conventional flower pots have difficulty in retaining heat, and when used outdoors to grow flowers and other plants, especially in the middle of winter, they cannot maintain the temperature underground necessary for seed germination or plant growth.

Furthermore, since the rooting of cuttings depends on the temperature of the ground, conventional flower pots cannot encourage early rooting of cuttings.

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional flowerpots, this invention focuses on the fact that Styrofoam containers have extremely high heat retention and water retention properties, and combines this with a water supply pot saucer to create a new container. It is used as a flower pot.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a flower pot that has excellent heat retention, allows easy management of water supply to plants, and is simple to handle and structure.

The flower pot of the present invention consists of a styrofoam pot body with an opening in the bottom wall and a saucer, and the saucer has a spacer that keeps the bottom wall of the pot body separated from the saucer and maintains communication between the saucer and the pot body. and a side wall having a height sufficient to submerge the bottom of the pot body with water, and the spacer is provided with a pin for fixing the pot body to the spacer means.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1.2 and 4, the flowerpot 1 according to the present invention is composed of a pot body 2 made of styrofoam and shaped like an inverted truncated cone with an open upper end, and a saucer 7.

An opening 4 of an appropriate size is formed approximately at the center of the bottom wall 3 of the styrofoam pot body 2, and water supplied to the pot body or the saucer enters and exits through this opening 4.

In the illustrated embodiment, the pot body 2 has a circular cross section, but it may have any shape, for example a rectangular cross section.

Further, although one opening 4 is formed approximately at the center of the bottom wall 3, a desired number of openings may be provided at any other location on the bottom wall 3 as long as the function of the pot body is not impaired.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the saucer 7 includes a side wall 5 and a bottom wall 6. It shall be of sufficient height to submerge the bottom.

On the bottom wall 6 of the saucer, when the pot body 2 and the saucer are combined,
A spacer 9 is provided to form a predetermined space 8 (FIG. 2) between the bottom wall 3 of the pot body 2 and the bottom wall 6 of the saucer 7, and to hold the pot body 2 apart from the saucer 7.

This spacer 9 connects the pot body 2 between the opening 4 and the space 8 of the pot body 2.
In the illustrated embodiment, when the pot body 2 is placed in the saucer 7 via the spacer 9, the spacer 9 As shown in Figure 3, three pieces were arranged on the bottom wall 6 of the saucer so as to be located around the opening 4 of the pot body.

The pot body 2 is attached to the spacer 9 via the spacer 9, and the saucer 7 is inserted into the spacer 9.
A pin 10 is provided to fix the pot body 2 to the bottom wall 3 of the styrofoam pot body 2, and the pot body 2 is stably placed on the saucer 7.

In the flower pot according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the side wall of the saucer has a height sufficient to submerge the bottom of the pot body with water, and the pot body and the saucer communicate with each other through a predetermined space by a spacer. Therefore, if enough water is supplied to the saucer to submerge the bottom of the pot body, water will always be supplied to the bottom of the pot body, and the Styrofoam pot body will be in good condition. Combined with heat retention, plants can grow smoothly.

Furthermore, since the state of water supply to the pot body can be easily monitored by simply looking at the water level in the saucer, it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of plants dying.

Further, since the pot body and the saucer are connected by inserting a pin embedded in the spacer into the bottom wall of the pot body, the pot body can be easily separated from the saucer by pulling out the pot body from the pin. This allows operations such as replanting plants to be performed easily.

Furthermore, since the pot body is made of styrofoam, the flower pot of the present invention has great effects, such as the ability to easily print colored letters, figures, etc. on the outer peripheral wall of the pot body.
