Definitions

• the invention relates to a plant container for Zimmerkulturen.
• a successful indoor plant culture is only possible if the plant in the water and oxygen supply optimal conditions are offered. Dehydration and stagnant moisture are equally harmful to the plants. For beautiful and healthy plants, an even supply of water and adequate oxygenation of the roots are optimal (especially for epiphytic growing plants).
• the plant container from DE 10118709 A1 consists of a grid pot with a carrier insert and a covering jacket detachably connected thereto.
• the covering jacket widened downwards conically and between the grid pot or carrier insert and covering jacket, a circumferential air slot is provided.
• the carrier insert is connected to a water reservoir with overflow and a water collecting tray.
• the sleeve-shaped wall surrounds the lateral surface of the inner pot, leaving a space surrounding the inner pot, having.
• the wall of the outer pot is supported on its bottom side facing the ground at a distance from the ground, leaving at least one passage opening to the intermediate space and the inner pot is inserted from above into the outer pot.
• a fan is arranged in the lower area of the inner pot or the outer pot.
• a lattice pot is adjusted in a water tank and at the same time rotatably mounted
• the water tank engages with a drip edge in a collecting tray and
• An outer sheath has the shape of a frusto-conical tube with concave outer side.
• the water tank has a cylindrical shape and a circumferential groove on the lower outer wall. On the upper outer wall a circumferential ring with openings is arranged. Centrally in the interior of the water tank a conical nozzle is arranged, which engages in the inner bore of the water tank. An indicator tube as a water level indicator is embedded in the lower part of the water tank.
• the lattice pot has a conical, partially concave shape and the lower, projecting into the water tank part a raised floor, wherein a peripheral portion projects into the water tank and slots are incorporated in the bottom of the foot area.
• An adjustment piece arranged centrally on the underside of the lattice pot has an internal bore.
• the lattice pot with peripheral edge in which recesses are inserted from above into the casing, so that the lattice pot rests on the casing and extends into the water tank.
• the outer jacket has a slightly concave shape and in the upper part of the Outer shell is a broken inside edge arranged.
• the annular collecting plate is provided inside and outside with a raised edge.
• the elliptical breakthrough in the lattice pot is dispensed with.
• the water level is read off a display tube attached to the side of the water tank.
• a filler pipe is inserted through the seedlings inside the lattice pot.
• the filler tube has a filter on the top as a cover to allow particles to be filtered out of the water. A clogging of the filler pipe is avoided.
• FIG. 2 lattice pot
• the plant container is shown in Figure 1 and consists of a water tank 1, a lattice pot 2, an outer shell 3 and a collecting plate. 4
• the water tank 1 has a cylindrical shape with a circumferential groove 5 on the outer wall. At a distance from the upper edge of a circumferential ring 6 is also arranged with openings on the outer wall. This circumferential ring 6 serves to support the outer shell 3 and at the same time as Naturalkss for ventilation. Centrally in the water tank a conical nozzle 8 is arranged.
• a fitting piece 9 which has an inner bore.
• the inner bore may have a conical shape, but other shapes are conceivable.
• Water tank 1 a In the inner bore of the nozzle 8 engages Water tank 1 a. As a result, the lattice pot 2 is adjusted and is rotatably mounted.
• the water tank 1 has a capacity of about 1.5 1. at correspondingly larger versions, the capacity increases.
• the lattice pot 2 has a conical, partially concave shape, as also seen in Figures 2 and 3.
• the lower, protruding into the water tank 1 part has a raised floor 10, wherein a circumferential portion, also called foot area 11, further protrudes into the water tank 1.
• This foot area 11 has no ventilation slots on the circumferential outside and inside.
• 11 slots are incorporated in the bottom of the foot area, through which the water can penetrate into the lattice pot 2.
• a fitting piece 9 wekhes serves as a rotatable mounting and adjustment of the lattice pot 2 in the water tank 1.
• the height of the raised floor 10 advantageously has the height of the fitting 9 and the height of the nozzle 8 in the water tank first
• Figure 4 shows that the ventilation slots 12 are arranged in the upper part of the lattice pot 2 so that they have a larger angle than the angle of the conically shaped closed lattice pot surface.
• the inclination of the mesh pot surface may be 3 ° and the inclination of the ventilation slots 14 °. As a result, the air gets a larger attack surface, and can better aerate the plant.
• an elliptical opening 13 for a pouring opening 14. (FIG. 2)
• the pouring opening 14 is fitted over the slot from the inside. This can be done either by gluing or by snap closures.
• a water level indicator 15 e.g. a swimming stick can be guided.
• the lattice pot 2 has no circumferential
• the outer shell 3 consists of a frusto-conical tube with a slight, inwardly shaped curve. This concave shape causes the air inlet at the lower end of the outer shell 3 is larger.
• the incoming air is accelerated and pressed against the lattice pot 2.
• the specially arranged ventilation slots 12 in the lattice pot 2 is here taken care of for optimal ventilation of the plant root.
• the roots grow through the lattice pot and can therefore absorb more poison from the room air. For example, the metabolism of formaldehyde up to 70% is made possible by the adequate ventilation of the roots. Even if the roots are hanging in the air, the plant is supplied with water.
• the air outlet between the grid pot 2 and outer shell 3 is ensured by a perforated inner edge 16 is disposed in the upper region of the outer shell 3, which has openings for air passage. At the same time, this peripheral edge 16 serves for centering the lattice pot 2.
• the collecting plate 4 is annular and provided inside and outside with a raised edge 17.
• the water tank 1 engages with its circumferential groove 5 in the inner raised edge 17, thereby creating a drip edge.
• a collecting plate 4 can also be a correspondingly large plate with a central
• Figure 7 shows that in the lower part of the water tank 1 a
• Water level indicator is arranged as a display tube 18 in the form of a once curved upward Kapilkrrhrhrchens.
• a Pfknentenopf with insert 21 and circumferential spacer is shown in Figure 8.
• the raised bottom 10 of the lattice pot 2 at a shorter nozzle 8 on the water tank 1 worked flatter without losing its function of receiving the nozzle 8.
• the fitting piece 9 is adapted to the changed neck 8.
• the insert 21 with appropriately sized spacer causes the roots of the plant are not in the constantly watered area. This prevents the formation of waterlogging in the root area.
• the insert 21 may be water permeable and may additionally be filled with granules or other suitable materials as a drainage layer. Above the insert 21, the lattice pot 2 is planted as usual.
• Water tank 1, outer shell 3 and collecting plate 4 can be made of plastic or ceramic.
