Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to a water supply device that is attached to a flowerpot to supply water to the soil in the pot by capillary action.In particular, it is a label for writing the variety and name of the plant being cultivated in the pot. The plant was improved so that a support that also served as a water storage container was stuck into the soil inside the pot to support the water storage container along the outside of the flower pot.

The present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a flat water storage container shaped like a water bottle, and a spout 2 for pouring water into the inside from the top.
protrudes and covers the cap 3 to cover the mouth. There is a watering hole 4 on the top surface of the water storage container, into which one end part of a wick 5 is inserted which sucks up water by capillary action and replenishes water into the flower pot.

The core 5 consists of a bundle 5a of polyvinyl alcohol or other synthetic fibers, and a flexible tube 5b that extends through the bundle 5a and projects from both ends.
The end of the tube 5b is folded back at the end of the tube 5b, and a short tube 6 is fitted on top of the tube 5b. In addition, a bullet-shaped porous jacket 7 made of plastic is fitted to the other end of the flowerpot that is inserted into the soil, and a bundle 5 protruding from the tube is fitted inside the jacket 7 to the end of the tube 5b.
The end of a is accommodated.

In order to support the water storage container on the outer surface of the flower pot, a ring 8 is fitted onto the spout 2 in advance, and then a cap is placed on the cap to prevent the ring 8 from coming off. The ring 8 has an integral projecting piece 9, and the projecting piece 9 has a hole 9'.
However, in this embodiment, several protruding pieces are arranged in the longitudinal direction, and in this hole 9' there is a stand-shaped support 11 having an entry part 10 for writing in the variety and name of the plant.
The leg 11' of the leg 11' is passed through the leg 11'.

To use, fill the water storage container 1 with water, cap the cap 3, place the protruding piece 9 of the ring 8 across the rim of the pot upwards inside the pot, and insert the support 11 into the hole 9'. Pass the legs 11' of the wick 5 through the soil in the pot and stand it up, hang the water storage container along the outside of the pot, then put one end of the wick 5 into the container through the watering hole 4 on the top of the container and water it. It is sufficient to immerse the core in water, insert the outer cover 7 at the other end of the core into the soil in the pot, and bury it. This allows the water in the water storage container to be sucked up by the wick and automatically replenished into the soil in the pot, saving you the hassle of watering, and especially when you are away from home, such as when you are away on a trip, your important plants may wither due to lack of water supply. I have nothing to do.

The support 11, whose legs 11' are stuck into the soil in the pot and is suspended from the outside of the pot of the water storage container, has the variety name,
Since it has a section 10 for writing the name, etc., and is also used as a label, there is no need to stick out a separate label.
Incidentally, the protruding piece 9 has a plurality of holes 9' as in this embodiment.
If it is in the longitudinal direction of the protruding piece, it is preferable because the position at which the leg 11' of the supporter is pushed into the soil in the pot can be selected so as not to damage the roots of the plant.

Further, in this embodiment, the cap is screwed onto the mouthpiece 2 and attached, and when the cap is screwed in completely, the ring 8 is tightened and fixed onto the top surface of the container by the cap, but this is not necessary. It may also be installed in a snap-type manner. or,
One of the outer surfaces 1' of the flat water storage container is formed into a concave arc surface, which is preferable because it can be stably aligned with the outer surface of the circular pot.
