Definitions
- double wall plant pot Many designs have been proposed. However they fail to adequately aerate the soil compartment. They also fail to regulate the flow of fluid from the circular reservoir to the soil compartment. The proposed plant pot will enable not to water the plant for a long period of time and will enable to supply fluid according to the needs of the plant.
- Figure 2 is the cross-section at level 7of the general view figure 1.
- a plastic or clay double wall plant pot having outer wall 1 and inner wall 2.
- the two walls define two compartments; outer compartment 3 which is the fluid compartment, and inner compartment 4 which is the soil and plant compartment.
- the inner wall 2 screws to the outer wall 1 by means of circular screw feature 5 on both the inner and outer walls.
- Cover 6 covers an opening and enables the refilling of the fluid compartment.
- Elongated tube 8 beginning in the air above the soil compartment and ending as a circular tube 9, which has many small openings and is places within the soil compartment.
- Syringe 10 connects to opening 18 and enables to enforce air into the soil compartment via the elongated tube 8 which ends as circular tube 9 through the openings (orifices) 11.
- Elongated transparent strip 12 enables to reveal the level of the fluid in the fluid compartment, and it tells when to refill the reservoir.
- Another embodiment of this feature is to make the outer wall out of transparent plastic, thus revealing the fluid level in a circular-level form.
- One embodiment of the opening (passage) from the fluid compartment to the soil compartment is the triangular orifice 13.
- the orifice is covered by sliding rectangular door 14.
- the sliding door defines the size of the triangular orifice, from the pin-point position
- Arrow 16 reveals the directions of movement of the rectangular sliding door 14 relative to the triangular opening 13.
- the size of the opening will determine the rate of flow. Thus, for a plant that needs more water the opening could be enlarged, and for a plant which needs small amount of water, the opening could be left in the pin-point position. The flow of the fluid could be adjusted to the needs of the plant.
- Another embodiment of the invention would be a shutter circular design like that found in a photographic camera. (This shutter enables a circular adjustment of the size of the opening orifice namely a circular opening).
- the triangular opening 13 is separated from the soil department by means of plastic, or nylon, or silk, (or any material that is not biodegradable) permeable diaphragm 17.
- This diaphragm is placed and adhered on the inner side of the inner wall 2 of the double wall plant pot structure.
- the diaphragm (grid) allows fluids to flow from the fluid compartment 3 to the soil compartment 4; yet, it prevents the soil to pass into the fluid compartment.
- Holes 11 in the circular tube 9 are also covered by means that are not biodegradable. Thus allowing air to flow, and at the same time stop the soil from penetrating to air tubes 9 and 8.
- the hydrostatic pressure in the fluid compartment pushes the water and the soluble nutrients into the plant and soil compartment through opening 13.
- the capillary pressure in the soil granules facilitates the spreading fluids to all parts of the soil compartment.
- the sliding rectangular door 14 enables to regulate the rate of flow of fluids from the reservoir fluid compartment to the soil compartment.
- the size of the opening could be adjusted according to the needs of the plant.
- the grid 17 prevents soil from falling to the fluid compartment while allowing the fluids to flow to the soil compartment.
- Syringe 10 is used to inject air into the soil compartment through the opening 18, to the circular tube 9 with its many holes, thus allows to aerate the soil compartment efficiently.
- the idea is that the user, from time to time, injects air to the area adjacent to the root of the plant.
