Abstract

The proposed utility model relates to a pot for flowers and/or indoor plants with watering. The technical result of the claimed utility model is to ensure the drainage of excess water when watering a houseplant, which is achieved through the presence of channels for draining water. The technical result is ensured by the design of a pot for indoor plants with a water container, consisting of two communicating vessels, which represent a container for the plant and a container for pouring water. In this case, the container for the plant is made of a smaller size with the possibility of coaxial placement in the water container. These containers are connected by stiffening ribs arranged around the circumference, and the container for the plant is made without a bottom and is placed in a container for filling water to form an internal space from which comes an internal channel for draining water, made in the form -shaped. 3 ill.

Description

The proposed utility model relates to a pot for flowers and/or indoor plants with watering.

The claimed plant pot consists of two communicating vessels connected at the bottom of the pot: a container for the flower itself and a container for pouring water. At a given level of height from the bottom, the wall of the pot has one or more internal channels extending down to the base of the pot, through which excess water is automatically drained during watering.

BACKGROUND OF THE ART

In the prior art, prefabricated plant containers are known for providing liquid, in particular water, to plants growing in a growing medium, in a more or less automatic manner, for extended periods without the need for regular watering of the plants.

For example, a design for providing controlled irrigation of plant pots is known from patent document FR 2814639. This structure contains an outer container in which an inner container with a smaller diameter is located in the center, isolated from the outer container. The plant is irrigated with water supplied from the intermediate space between the two containers by means of a braided wick, the flow through the wick being regulated by means of a screw stopper.

A similar design is described in US patent No. 4999947.

US Pat. No. 4,741,125 describes a wick-based plant liquid delivery system comprising a liquid storage chamber and a wick rigidly held in an inverted U-shaped tube. The system also has an adjustable moisture-sensing brake mechanism to control liquid flow.

These systems are quite complex and, as a result, expensive and easily damaged.

Simpler systems are also known. For example, patent document EP 0688497 describes a flower pot secured by a lid plate to an outer container. There is water between the flower pot and the container. A wetting wick passes through the water, which also passes through the bottom of the flower pot and thus moistens the soil in that flower pot.

US Pat. Nos. 4,250,665, 4,339,891 and 5,081,790, WO 2009030019, and GB 2444141 also describe prefabricated flower pots and reservoirs, wherein the water reservoir is located at the bottom of the flower pot and a wetting wick passes through the water of the reservoir, which It also passes through the bottom of the flower pot and thus moistens the soil in the flower pot. US Pat. No. 4,250,665 also describes an embodiment (FIG. 4) in which the wick hole is located at the top of the side wall of the flower pot, allowing for a higher liquid level in the liquid reservoir. Patent documents DE 2409714 and DE 2426582 disclose a similar flower pot with liquid storage for a long-term supply of liquid.

Patent document DE 103433 also describes a self-watering flower pot, wherein the reservoir is fixed under the plant pot and the soil is moistened from this reservoir through wicks. The wicks pass through a recess made in the wall of the pot and are held in said recess by means of a wedge made of a disinfectant and fertile material. In this case, the reservoir is filled by watering the soil from above and collecting the water not absorbed by the soil. Patent document CH 342027 discloses a similar device for growing at least one plant.

It is also worth noting the patent document CN 201726722, which discloses a water-saving passive automatic irrigation device. This watering device contains an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, respectively, with a microporous surface, and the bottom of the inner sleeve and the bottom of the outer sleeve are connected in a sealed manner to form a basket for storing water, and between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve there is a capillary tube, which is a capillary fiber tube, and at the top of the water storage basket, a window for introducing water is fixedly placed.

DE 2426582 further describes a plant container with a liquid container for continuous supply of liquid. International publications WO 2006067818 and WO 99/60841 respectively describe a pot with a self-watering system using evaporation, a process for using such a pot and a container for flowers and, in general, plants with an intermediate space for storing water for automatic watering.

Known pots require top watering, which can lead to rotting of part of the trunk or bulb, the claimed utility model allows for root watering, which allows you to directly feed the roots of plants, leaving a relatively dry upper level of soil, or to wet the upper level of soil only due to the capillary effect from below , which prevents the soil from becoming waterlogged. Internal drainage channels allow excess water to drain away, preventing plant rot.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to ensure the drainage of excess water when watering a houseplant, which is achieved through the presence of channels for draining water.

The technical result is ensured by the design of a pot for indoor plants with a water container, which consists of two communicating vessels, which are a container for the plant and a container for filling water, the container for the plant is made smaller in size with the possibility of coaxial placement in the water container, while these containers are connected by stiffening ribs located around the circumference, and the container for the plant is made without a bottom and is placed in a container for filling water to form an internal space from which comes an internal channel for draining water, made in the form -shaped.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above description is now described in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which:

in fig. 1 shows a pot with a filling vessel located around the circumference of the pot, top view;

in fig. Figure 2 shows a pot with a filling vessel located around the circumference of the pot, bottom view;

in fig. Figure 3 shows a cross-section of a pot with a filling vessel located around the circumference of the pot.

A flower pot consists of two communicating vessels, which are a container for the flower itself 1 and a container for pouring water 2, connected around the circumference by vertical stiffeners 3 running from the top level to the bottom. At a given level of height from the bottom, there is one or more internal channels 4 in the wall of the pot, extending down to the base of the pot, through which excess water is drained during watering. In this case, the internal channel 4 is made in the form -shaped, and connects the hole 5 of the container for filling water 2 and the internal space formed between containers 1 and 2.

Claims (1)

A pot for indoor plants with a water container, consisting of two communicating vessels, which represent a container for the plant and a container for filling water, characterized in that the container for the plant is made smaller in size with the possibility of coaxial placement in the water container, while these containers connected by circumferentially arranged stiffening ribs, and the container for the plant is made without a bottom and is placed in a container for filling water to form an internal space from which comes an internal channel for draining water, made in the form – shaped.
