2. Description of the Related Art
These days, a wall-surface greening, which is located along wall-surface of buildings or wall-surface of architectures, is becoming popular. This wall-surface greening has lots of effects, such as healing and relaxation being surrounded by the green, not to mention, an energy-saving effect, which can avoid increasing room temperature in summer and decreasing heat escaping in winter. Therefore, it is predicted that a wall-surface greening will become more popular in the future.
A variety of wall-surface flower bed structures have already been disclosed, for example, an apparatus, in which a user can plant many plants and which is attached to a wall-surface vertically, is disclosed as a wall-surface greening apparatus (refer to official publication of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2011-229465).
Furthermore, a wall-surface greening system, which has many planters along wall-surfaces, is also disclosed (refer to official publication of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2012-60942). Herein, planters are detachable and therefore operable to change their positions freely.
Moreover, a flower bed, which has a plurality of wall-surface panel, is disclosed as a wall-surface greening flower bed (refer to official publication of Japanese utility model registration No. 1953528), wherein each panel includes through holes having a certain size. Such technology can also be applied to a cassette type wall surface greening system, which has many joint panels being attached to wall-surface, and each joint panel has a plural of through holes for holding plant pots (refer to “A cassette type wall-surface greening system”, <URL: http://www.itoshoji.co.jp/greenwall/index.html>, for example).
Furthermore, a system, which comprises wall-surface panels having a plural of through holes, is disclosed as a wall surface greening system (refer to “A wall surface greening system”, <URL: http://www.suntory.co.jp/midorie/wall/index.html>, for example), wherein the root section of plants is covered with a water-permeable material that allows permeation of water.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, in the method of the wall-surface greening apparatus described above, the planters need to be filled with potting composts or pumice stone, subsequently, the planters are attached to wall-surface. In this case, operations at high place are often required, and such operations are dangerous and inefficient, not to mention, it takes long time when operators replace old plants or potting composts with new ones.
In addition, in the method of the wall-surface greening system described above, there may be root damages when plants are transplanted. In this case, it takes long time for the plants to recover from the root damages, so that the appearance of the wall-surface flower bed is ruined, because of growth rate gap between normal plants and root-damaged plants.
In addition, in the wall surface greening panels having a plurality of through holes described above, positions where plant pots are inserted are fixed beforehand. Therefore, although such wall surface greening panels are functional and convenient when a large size wall-surface flower bed structure is formed, it is difficult to change locations of the plants displayed as a wall-surface flower bed and is not appropriate to make a small scale wall-surface flower bed with detailed design.
The present invention is conceived in view of issues such as those mentioned above and has as a first objective to provide a wall-surface flower bed structure that makes it possible for work efficiency to be better, root damage when plants are transferred to be prevented, and the designability to be improved in the wall-surface flower pot structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention, as best mode for carrying out the invention, will be described hereinafter with reference to the drawing. It is to be understood that the embodiments described herein are not intended as limiting, or encompassing the entire scope of, the present invention.

Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a wall-surface flower bed structure, according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 for displaying plants (wall-surface greening) along Wall-surface of buildings or Wall-surface of architectures such as concrete buildings and temporary scaffoldings. These days, such a wall-surface greening is becoming popular, and has lots of effects, such as healing and relaxation being surrounded by green, not to mention, an energy-saving effect, reducing heat-island phenomena and avoiding the deterioration of buildings by UV irradiation.
The wall-surface flower bed structure 1 has a plurality of box body 2 to place a plant. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2(a)-2(c), the root section of a plant is covered with a water-permeable material 3 that allows permeation of water, and subsequently is inserted in a plant-holding pot 4 according to the direction by an arrow Y. The water-permeable material 3 is exemplified by urethane form, which has a sponge shape with thickness 1-2 cm.
As shown in FIG. 2(b) and FIG. 2(c), the plant-holding pot 4 has a plurality of through holes 4 a, 4 b for passing water being formed in a bottom surface and side surface. In FIGS. 2(a)-2(c), the plant-holding pot 4 has an upper part opening of a regular octagonal shape, a plurality of though holes 4 a, each of which is a regular octagonal shape in a side surface, and a plurality of though holes 4 b, each of which is a regular octagonal shape in a bottom surface.
Meanwhile, the planting method, which covers the root section of a plant with a water-permeable material or a sponge form, is already widespread in hydroponics and so on. And, in the case of using plants, the root section of a plant is often covered with a sponge material to prevent culture soil from being scattered. However, in this case, there is a possibility that contact points between the root hair of the root section and the sponge material or culture soil move a little so that the balance between new root hairs and culture soil may be ruined.
On the other hand, referring to FIGS. 2(a)-2(c), the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention needs the steps for covering the root section of a plant with a water-permeable material 3, then for inserting the plant in the plant-holding pot 4, and then for bringing the plant-holding pot 4 in site and decorating. Therefore, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can prevent plants from having stress by being moved the contact points between root hairs and sponge material or culture soil. As a result, not only to lose the balance between new root hairs and culture soil, but also to take a few days to recover from stress is avoidable.
Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 3(a)-3(c), a box body 2 that hold a plurality of the plant-holding pot 4 will be described. The box body 2 that has an opened upper surface and has an inclined section 2 a for the placement of a plurality of the plant-holding pot 4, a water-collecting section 2 b for collecting water at the lower end side of the inclined section 2 a, and a water outlet 2 c for discharging water that is not collected in the water-collecting section 2 b. The box body 2 also has a plurality of insertion holes 2 d in a back part and left and right side parts for inserting fixing tools (mentioned below). This box body 2 is formed using the resin material, and the size of the box body 2 has a height of 125 mm, a width of 248 mm and a depth of 150 mm approximately in a front view. Meanwhile, although the box body 2 in FIGS. 2(a)-2(c) has a plurality of slits in upper parts of side surfaces, these slits are not indispensable.
Further, referring to FIGS. 4(a)-4(b), a plurality of the plant-holding pot 4 is installed in the box body 2 by placing side surface of the plant-holding pot 4 on the inclined section 2 a. Moreover, when the plant-holding pot 4, which has already held plants such as flowers, is installed in the box body 2, it is possible to fill a sponge 5 or substances with lightweight and high in water absorption, such as a pumice 6, in the space between adjacent plant-holding pots 4, so that the water state of the root section will be retained. Furthermore, filling a silicic acids white clay 7 in the water-collecting section 2 b of the box body 2 can prevent water in the water-collecting section 2 b from going rotten.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4(a), in order to suck up water from the water-collecting section 2 b to the water-permeable material 3, a water supply string 8 can be attached to the water-permeable material 3. The material of the water supply string 8 is, for example, a non-woven fabric or a sponge, each of which has an excellent water absorption capacity or a water sucking capacity.
Normally, the water-permeable material 3 has enough capacity for allowing plants to be grown, because the water-permeable material 3 utilizing capillary phenomenon can satisfy both water sucking capacity and air permeability. However, in case where the water-permeable material 3 sucks up enough water from the water-collecting section 2 b, the plants will be under over moisture condition. In particular, in case where plants are under low temperature, low growth period and over moisture, the root section of plants suffer from a suffocated state and will lead to an unhealthy state.
Therefore, in order to suck up enough water when the bottom of the plant-holding pot 4 does not touch water in the water-collecting section 2 b, the water supply string 8 utilizing capillary phenomenon is being hung down from the plant-holding pot 4, wherein the water supply string 8 is dipped into water at one end. Under the circumstances, the water-permeable material 3 suck up necessary amount of water through the water supply string 8, so that plants is never in over moisture condition.
Regarding the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, the water supply string 8 is not a required constitution. In other words, it is possible to retain moderate moisture without the water supply string 8, in case where the water-permeable material 3 located in the bottom side of the plant-holding pot 4 can partly touch water in the water-collecting section 2 b, or in case where the water-permeable material 3 can suck up water though a sponge which is placed between the plant-holding pot 4 and the plant-holding pot 4, wherein the sponge is a drying preventive material.
Next, a using state of the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 1, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 comprises the box bodies 2, which are attached directly to wall-surface of buildings or wall-surface of architectures with fixing tools. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 further comprises an outer frame body 9, which allows multiple installation of box bodies 2 vertically in multiple rows, wherein the box bodies 2 can be connected horizontally with fixing tools 10, such as screws and nuts, and the outer frame body 9 is attached to wall-surface of buildings or to wall-surface of architectures.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), in order to form a large scale wall-surface flower bed, the outer frame body 9 is made of an iron frame, wherein the outer frame body 9 is capable of fixing the box bodies 2 in three rows and six columns and each panel-shaped outer frame body 9 is attached to wall surface. Herein, the outer frame body 9 shown in FIG. 5(a) is made from iron, aluminum and so on. Further, FIG. 5(b) shows another example of the outer frame body 9, which has a vertical frame shape and is able to fix the box bodies 2 in one row and ten columns.
Furthermore, referring to FIG. 6, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can hold the box body 2 in four rows and three columns inside the outer frame body 9 that has a frame shape. Referring to FIGS. 7(a)-7(c), this outer frame body 9 is integrally molded by using FRP resin having a thickness of approximate 3 mm. Further, a plurality of concavo-convex shapes are formed on the back of the outer frame body 9 to prevent the head of a fixing tool 10 a from protruding from the back, when the box bodies 2 are attached to the outer frame body 9 with the fixing tool 10 a. Meanwhile, the outer frame body 9 is molded by aluminum, wherein the size of the outer frame body 9 has a height of 60 mm, a width of 120 mm and a depth of 10 mm approximately in a front view.
Next, a method for forming the wall-surface flower bed utilizing the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention will be described. As mentioned above, this method for forming the wall-surface flower bed comprises: a step of covering the root section of a plant with the water-permeable material 3 that allows permeation of water; a step of inserting plants covered with the water-permeable material 3 into the plant-holding pot 4; a step of installing a plurality of the plant-holding pots 4 in the box body 2. Moreover, the box body 2 is attached to wall-surface of buildings or wall-surface of architectures.
In addition, if necessary, this method for forming the wall-surface flower bed further comprises: a step of displaying the box bodies 2 in the outer frame body 9, which allows multiple installation of box bodies 2 vertically in multiple rows, wherein the box bodies 2 can be connected horizontally with fixing tools 10; a step of attaching the outer frame body 9 to wall-surface of buildings or to wall-surface of architectures.
As mentioned above, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention includes covering the root section of the plant with the water-permeable material 3 that allows permeation of water; inserting plants covered with the water-permeable material 3 into the plant-holding pot 4; placing a plurality of the plant-holding pots 4 in the box body 2. According to these constitutions, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 is able to improve work efficiency in case of making the wall-surface flower bed, and to prevent root damage in case of transplanting.
For example, plants, which are applicable to the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 according to Embodiment of the present invention, are held in the plant-holding pots 4 after growing at the place which provides suitable environments such as the greenhouses of farmers and after being covered root portion with the water-permeable material 3. Therefore, transplantation work in site is not necessary, and installing the plant-holding pots 4 in the box bodies 2 is necessary, as a result, this configuration makes it possible for work efficiency to be better, root damage when plants are transferred to be prevented.
Moreover, it is not efficient to exchange flowers in site, in case where the duration of flowers is over or flower is damaged for a disease, not to mention, the balance between new and old flowers gets worse when the new flowers is a seedling, as a result, the appearance is deteriorating. Because exchanging the plant-holding pots 4 is equivalent to exchanging plants in the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 according to Embodiment of the present invention, the present invention can improve work efficiency,
Moreover, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention, has more flexibility about placement of the plant-holding pots 4 due to the box body 2 that has a unique structure. Therefore, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, this configuration makes it possible for the designability to be improved incredibly in the field of a wall surface greening.
In particular, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention, has large benefits for the plant-holding pots 4 to be moved freely in a horizontal direction, in case where the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 is implemented as small scale displays. Meanwhile, aside from the plant-holding pot 4 that holds plants, further design enhancement can be achieved by making use of empty spaces in or between the box body 2, wherein the empty spaces are filled with plants, whose root sections are covered with sponge, etc. In case of this, it is possible to realize the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 with sophisticated design.
Moreover, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, according to Embodiment of the present invention, can realize the wall-surface flower bed with sophisticated design only by bringing plants to the event site and establishing the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 in site, wherein the plants are already grown on a farm. In particular, the most effective way can be achieved by placing plants in the wall-surface flower bed structure 1, wherein the plants is already grown on different locations during a change of season and so on.
For example, although roses usually start to bloom in the middle of May, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can display roses from March with low temperature on the place where frost does not occur, wherein the roses is already grown in a greenhouse. In this case, because of its low temperature, the roses can live for almost twice as long as normal roses can live, that is, the roses can live longer about one month, consequently, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can provide appreciators with the atmosphere that is similar to preferential seasons. Further, the same pattern is applicable to hydrangea, because hydrangea usually starts to bloom from the end of June to the beginning of July, the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can provide appreciators with hydrangea from April or May by inserting hydrangea in the plant-holding pot 4 and by placing the plant-holding pot 4 in the box body 2, wherein hydrangea is already grown in a greenhouse.
Furthermore, for example, in terms of plants in early summer, such as impatiens and begonia, when the plants is planted in the beginning of April leaving a bit cold, it takes about one month for the plants to recover in case the plants suffer from the cold. Accordingly, after letting the plants grown in a facility before the end of April˜the beginning of May until there is no late dew, the plants in full bloom can be inserted in the plant-holding pot 4, and then the plant-holding pot 4 is placed in the box body 2, so that the wall-surface flower bed structure 1 can display the plants in full bloom that is in accordance with the period of a event and so on.
It is to be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modified examples, and various modifications are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the shape of the box body 2 is not limited to the above-described embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, this box body 2 has two inclined sections 2 a and can provide beautiful design from both sides for appreciators. This application is based on Japanese patent application 2012-200906 filed Sep. 12, 2012, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
