Abstract

FIELD: agriculture; growing of plants or seedling. SUBSTANCE: container has pan with cells for plants. Novelty in design of container is that cellular members are made removable, of rectangular shape, without one vertical wall. Bottom of each cell is made inclined towards absent wall, and bottom of pan has tiltings and hole to let water drain into water collector. EFFECT: increased useful space for earth in container, simplified design and enhanced conditions of growing of plants. 2 cl, 3 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to the cultivation of plants and can be used for growing seedlings of plants from seeds and seedlings.

 Known container for growing plants, comprising a housing with cylindrical recesses for planting.

 The disadvantage of this design is that the cylindrical shape of the recesses for planting reduces the useful volume of the container underground.

 A known container for growing plants containing a frame made in the form of a box, each of the two opposite side walls of which is made in the form of a hinged two-linker, and in the lid of the box there are holes in which are mounted conical vertically detachable containers for plants pivotally mounted on the bottom of the box .

 The disadvantage of the container is the complexity of the design, the conical shape of the containers for plants reduces the useful volume of the container underground.

 Also known is a pallet for flower boxes having a lower supporting wall with drainage holes on which a certain number of boxes are mounted. The vertical wall of the pallet, covering these boxes, has flaps protruding vertically from each side edge of the supporting wall. A special device fastens adjacent end sections of the wings. This device is taken as a prototype.

 The drawback of the pallet is the complexity of its design, which does not solve the complex work associated with the cultivation and transplant of plants without disturbing the root system.

 The aim of the invention is to increase the useful volume of containers under the ground, simplifying the design and improving the conditions for growing plants.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that in the proposed container for growing plants, the pallet having supporting walls, bottom and legs is made as a unit without connecting structural elements. On the bottom of the pallet, removable containers for plants are installed, each of which is made in the form of cells of a rectangular shape, with each cell formed by three walls, and its bottom made with a slope towards the cell, the wall of which forms the fourth wall of the first cell. The bottom of the pan is made with a slope and holes for water drainage. The container is equipped with a catchment.

 The specified set of features in comparison with the prototype is new, i.e. meets the criterion of "novelty."

 An analysis of the known technical solutions (analogues) in the scope of the search allows us to conclude that there are no signs similar to the significant distinguishing features in the claimed object and recognize the claimed technical solution as meeting the criterion of "significant differences".

 Making cell containers removable without one vertical wall facilitates the removal of plants without damaging the root system. The execution of the bottom of each cell with a slope towards the missing vertical wall and sampling under the slit, and in the bottom of the pallet with a slope and a hole, provides an outflow of excess water and a centralized collection of it by the water collector, which eliminates overmoistening of the soil, and therefore improves plant growth.

 The manufacture of pallets and removable cell containers is carried out mainly from plastic or its waste.

 Thus, the combination of the listed features ensures the achievement of the purpose of the invention, then the claimed object meets the criterion of "positive effect".

 Figure 1 shows a General view of the container assembly; figure 2 is a view along arrow A; figure 3 section BB in figure 2.

 The container for growing plants contains a pallet 1 with installed cell containers 2 for plants and a partition 3. Pallet 1 has a bottom with slopes towards the catchment 4, a hole 5 for water drainage and horizontal supports 6 under the cell containers 2. Cell containers 2 are made rectangular without one vertical wall (fourth), which is formed due to the adjacent wall of the next cell tank when installed in the pallet 1 and the partition 3. The bottom of the cell tank 2 is made with a slope towards the missing wall and sample under s for water drainage.

 Before planting seeds or seedlings, the cell containers 2 and the partition 3 are installed in the pan 1. After filling the cell containers 2 with earth, the seeds or seedlings are planted. In the case of transplantation, cell containers 2 together with the ground and plants are first taken out from the pallet 1 in turn, and then the plants together with the ground are easily removed from the cells through the missing walls for transplanting into the ground.

 The container can also be used for growing plants for direct consumption.

Claims (2)
