Description

FLOWERPOT ATTACHED WITH WICK

The disclosure relates to a flowerpot attached with a wick. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a flowerpot attached with a wick, which allows a user to readily manage moisture for floriculture and to install the flowerpot in a desired position.

Recently, flowering plants are cultivated at home and offices for the purpose of observation or health. In addition, many flowering plants are cultivated in flower gardens. A flowerpot used for cultivating and managing the flowering plants is filled therein with bed soil to provide the cultivating environment for the flower plants planted in the flowerpot. The flowerpot is formed at a bottom thereof with a drain port such that water can be drained to the outside through the drain port when the water is excessively supplied to the bed soil.

The moisture content of soil must be optimally maintained by supplying an appropriate amount of water to the flowerpot in such a manner that the flowering plants can be properly cultivated in the flowerpot.

According to the related art, in order to facilitate the water supply to the flowerpot, a water reservoir is installed at a lower portion of the flowerpot and a textile wick is provided in the flowerpot to absorb the water contained in the water reservoir, thereby continuously supplying an appropriate amount of water to the flowerpot.

However, the water reservoir installed at the lower portion of the flowerpot must be press-fitted with the lower portion of the flowerpot such that the water contained in the water reservoir may not overflow to the outside, making it difficult to separate the water reservoir from the flowerpot. Thus, when it is necessary to refill water in the water reservoir, the water reservoir may not be easily separated from the flowerpot, causing inconvenience.

In addition, the amount of water stored in the water reservoir may not be visually checked, so a user must separate the water reservoir from the flowerpot when it is necessary to check the amount of water stored in the water reservoir.

Further, the flowerpot may not be readily installed on a wall surface or a desired position, so there is limitation on the landscape design.

The disclosure has been suggested to solve the above problems, and an object of the disclosure is to provide a flowerpot attached with a wick, in which a water reservoir can be easily attached to or detached from the flowerpot, so that a user can readily supply water to the water reservoir, the cleaning work for the water reservoir can be simplified, and the water reservoir can be stably fixed to the flowerpot.

Another object of the disclosure is to provide a flowerpot attached with a wick, in which a user can check the level of water stored in a water reservoir without separating the water reservoir from the flowerpot and can install the flowerpot in a desired position.

The terms used in the specification and claims may not be limited to the common or dictionary meanings, but may be construed based on the technical scope of the disclosure since inventers may properly define the concept of the terms to explain the invention. Thus, the embodiments described in the specification and the structures shown in the drawings are intended to illustrate the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure without limiting the technical scope of the disclosure and various substitutes, equivalents and modifications may be present in the filing date of this application.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a flowerpot attached with a wick according to the first exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, and FIG. 2 is an assembled perspective view of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the flowerpot 100 includes a water reservoir 120 for storing a predetermined amount of water, a case 110 having an upper receiving part 111 and a lower receiving part 112, a wick 130 for supplying water to bed soil, and a mounting member 140 for mounting the case 110 in a predetermined position.

According to the present embodiment, the water reservoir 120 and the case 110 has the semi-cylindrical shape and the water reservoir 120 is rotatable with respect to the case 110.

A top surface of the water reservoir 120 is open to receive water therein. The water reservoir 120 is rotatably accommodated in the lower receiving part 112 of the case 110, which will be described later. The rotational structure of the water reservoir 120 will be described later in detail.

The case 110 includes the upper receiving part 111 and the lower receiving part 112 and internal spaces of the upper and lower receiving

parts

111 and 112 are separated from each other. In detail, the internal space of the upper receiving part 111 is separated from the internal space of the lower receiving part 112 by a bottom surface of the upper receiving part 111 and a top surface of the lower receiving part 112. The case 110 is formed with a perforation hole 113, into which the wick 130 is inserted. The upper receiving part 111 is communicated with the lower receiving part 112 through the perforation hole 113.

The upper receiving part 112 is filled with bed soil to cultivate the flowering plants. The bed soil refers to soil including fertilizer, manure and leaf mold required for sprouting a seed or cultivating the flowering plants.

One side of the lower receiving part 112 is open to receive the water reservoir 120 therein. The shape of the lower receiving part 112 matches with the shape of the water reservoir 120, and the side of the lower receiving part 112 connecting two ends of the semi-circular arc must be open. This is because the water reservoir 120 must be rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the lower receiving part 112. In addition, since the shape of the lower receiving part 112 matches with the shape of the water reservoir 120, the water reservoir 120 received in the lower receiving part 112 may be stably maintained.

The wick 130 has a predetermined length. A part of the wick 130 is immersed in the water contained in the water reservoir 120, and the reaming part of the wick 130 is connected to the bed soil or buried in the bed soil by passing through the perforation hole 113. The wick 130 absorbs the water to supply the water to the bed soil. To this end, the wick 130 is preferably made from a non-woven fabric or a fiber having superior water absorption property.

In addition, the wick 130 preferably has the length enough to make contact with the bottom surface of the water reservoir 120 in such a manner that the water can be stably supplied to the bed soil even if the level of the water contained in the water reservoir 120 is gradually reduced.

The mounting member 140 of the disclosure includes a pair of

plates

141 and 142 and magnets 143 installed on the pair of

plates

141 and 142, respectively. The magnets 143 are insert-molded in the pair of

plates

141 and 142 when the pair of

plates

141 and 142 are manufactured, so that the magnets 143 can be securely fixed to the pair of

plates

141 and 142.

The pair of

plates

141 and 142 are located inside and outside of the case 110, respectively. In detail, the pair of

plates

141 and 142 are located inside and outside of the upper receiving part 111, respectively, and secured to the upper receiving part 111 by magnetic attraction of the magnets 143. Thus, the user can install the case 110 in the desired position by using the mounting member 140. For instance, as shown in FIG. 12, after attaching one plate 142 to a wall surface W by using an adhesive, the magnet 143 of the other plate 141 located inside the case 110 is attracted to the magnet 143 of one plate 142, so that the user can install the case 110 in the desired position.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the case 110 can be attached to glass C by interposing the glass C between the pair of

plates

141 and 142.

Although it has been described in that the flowerpot 100 having the wick 130 is installed in the desired position by using the pair of

plates

141 and 142, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For instance, one magnet can be buried in the case 110, that is, the upper receiving part 111, and an additional magnet can be attached to the desired position to install the case 110 in the desired position.

Meanwhile, the magnetic attraction generated between the magnets must be sufficient to the extent that the case 110 can be supported against the gravity by the magnetic attraction. In order to keep the magnetic attraction, the magnets having strong magnetic force can be used or the number of magnets used to support the case 110 can be increased. The number of magnets installed on the

plates

141 and 142 may be selectively increased or decreased according to the installation environment for the flowerpot 100.

Hereinafter, the rotational structure of the water reservoir 120 provided in the flowerpot 100 having the wick 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the water reservoir 120 and FIG. 4 is a plan sectional view of the lower receiving part 112.

As shown in the drawings, a locking slot 125 is formed in a predetermined section of an outer circumferential surface of the water reservoir 120 from one end of the water reservoir 120. In addition, a locking protrusion 115 is provided at one end of the lower receiving part 112 while protruding inward of the lower receiving part 112. The locking slot 125 is positioned corresponding to the locking protrusion 115. Thus, the locking protrusion 115 is inserted into the locking slot 125 such that the water reservoir 120 can rotate without interfering with the locking protrusion 115.

In more detail, after installing the lower receiving part 112 in the water reservoir 120 such that the locking protrusion 115 can be inserted into the locking slot 125, if the user rotates the water reservoir 120 in one direction, for instance, in the direction toward the locking protrusion 115, the locking slot 125 is rotatably moved while being guided by the locking protrusion 115 and then stopped as the end portion of the locking slot 125 makes contact with the locking protrusion 115. The water reservoir 120 can be stably rotated since the bottom surface of the water reservoir 120 makes contact with the bottom surface of the lower receiving part 112 during the rotation of the water reservoir 120. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an upper portion of the water reservoir 120 can be slightly exposed to the outside, so that the user can easily supply the water into the water reservoir 120 through the upper opening part of the water reservoir 120.

In addition, if the user rotates the water reservoir 120 in the other direction, for instance, in the direction opposite to the locking protrusion 115, the user can separate the water reservoir 120 from the lower receiving part 112.

Meanwhile, the rotation angle of the water reservoir 120 corresponds to the section of the locking slot 125 formed in the water reservoir 120. That is, the rotation angle of the water reservoir 120 is increased if the section of the locking slot 125 is increased, and the rotation angle of the water reservoir 120 is decreased if the section of the locking slot 125 is decreased. Thus, the user can select the rotation angle of the water reservoir 120 by adjusting the length of the locking slot 125.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show the structure of a flowerpot attached with a wick according to the second exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The same reference numerals will be used to refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

Referring to the drawings, the flowerpot 200 according to the second exemplary embodiment of the disclosure includes a water reservoir 220 for storing a predetermined amount of water, a case 210 having an upper receiving part 211 and a lower receiving part 212, a wick 130 for supplying water to bed soil, and a mounting member 140 for mounting the case 210 in a predetermined position.

According to the present embodiment, the water reservoir 220 and the case 210 has the rectangular column shape and the water reservoir 220 is slidably installed with respect to the case 210 such that the water reservoir 220 can be attached to or detached from the case 210.

The case 210 includes the upper receiving part 211 and the lower receiving part 212 and is formed with a perforation hole 213, through which the upper receiving part 211 is communicated with the lower receiving part 212.

The shape of the lower receiving part 212 of the case 210 matches with the shape of the water reservoir 220. The water reservoir 220 is slidably inserted into the lower receiving part 212. Although not shown in the drawings, a knob may be installed to the water reservoir 220 to allow the user to readily slide the water reservoir 220.

Meanwhile, in order to allow the water reservoir 220 to be attached to the lower receiving part 212 when the water reservoir 220 is accommodated in the lower receiving part 212,

magnets

251 and 252 are attached to one pair of corresponding surfaces of the lower receiving part 212 and the water reservoir 220, respectively. That is, as shown in the drawing, the

magnets

251 and 252 are attached to right side surfaces of the lower receiving part 212 and the water reservoir 220, respectively, when viewed in the sliding direction of the water reservoir 220. Thus, the water reservoir 220 can be stably fixed to the lower receiving part 212 by the

magnets

251 and 252 when the water reservoir 220 is accommodated in the lower receiving part 212.

FIG. 8 shows the structure of a flowerpot attached with a wick according to the third exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The same reference numerals will be used to refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

Referring to FIG. 8, the flowerpot 300 includes a water reservoir 320 for storing a predetermined amount of water, a case 310 having a receiving part 311 filled with bed soil and a support part 312 extending from the receiving part 311, a wick 130 supplying water to the bed soil, a first mounting member 340 for mounting the case 310 in a predetermined position and a second mounting member for attaching or detaching the water reservoir 320 to or from the support member 312.

According to the present embodiment, the case 310 and the water reservoir 320 have the semi-cylindrical shape and the water reservoir 320 is detachably coupled to the support member 312.

A top surface of the water reservoir 320 is open to receive the water therein.

The case 310 includes the receiving part 311, which has an open top surface such that the bed soil can be filled in the receiving part 311, and the support part 312 extending downward from one side of the receiving part 311. A perforation hole 313 is formed in the bottom surface of the receiving part 311 and the wick 130 is inserted into the perforation hole 313 to supply the water to the bed soil.

The first mounting member 340 used to attach the case 310 to a predetermined position may have the function the same as that of the mounting member 140 that has been previously described, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy.

In addition, the second mounting member, which is used to detachably couple the water reservoir 320 to the support part 312, may include

magnets

351 and 352. The

magnets

351 and 352 are installed on the water reservoir 320 and the support part 312, respectively, and positioned corresponding to each other when the water reservoir 320 comes into surface-contact with the support part 312 such that the water reservoir 320 can be attached to the support part 312 through the magnetic attraction between the

magnets

351 and 352. Therefore, the water reservoir 320 can be stably attached to the support part 312 due to the magnetic attraction between the

magnets

351 and 352. In addition, it is possible to separate the water reservoir 320 from the support part 312 by applying a predetermined repulsive force to the water reservoir 320.

FIG. 9 shows the structure of a flowerpot attached with a wick according to the fourth exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The same reference numerals will be used to refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

Referring to FIG. 9, the flowerpot 400 includes a water reservoir 420 for storing a predetermined amount of water, a case 410 having a receiving part 411 filled with bed soil and a support part 412 extending from the receiving part 411, a wick 130 supplying water to the bed soil, a first mounting member 340 for mounting the case 410 in a predetermined position and a second mounting member for attaching or detaching the water reservoir 420 to or from the support member 412.

The elements of the flowerpot 400 according to the present embodiment are similar to the elements of the flowerpot 300 according to the third embodiment except for the shape thereof, so the detailed description thereof will be omitted in order to avoid redundancy. That is, the case 410 and the water reservoir 420 have the rectangular column shape and the water reservoir 420 is detachably coupled to the case 410.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show the structure of a flowerpot attached with a wick according to the fifth exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The same reference numerals will be used to refer to the same elements throughout the specification.

Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the flowerpot 500 includes a water reservoir 520 for storing a predetermined amount of water, a case 510 having an upper receiving part 511 and a lower receiving part 512, a wick 130 supplying water to the bed soil, and a mounting member 540 for mounting the case 510 in a predetermined position.

According to the present embodiment, the case 510 and the water reservoir 520 have the rectangular column shape and the water reservoir 520 is slidably attached to or detached from the case 510.

The case 510 includes the upper receiving part 511 and the lower receiving part 512 and is formed with a perforation hole 513 through which the upper receiving part 511 is communicated with the lower receiving part 512.

The lower receiving part 512 of the case 510 is tapered in such a manner that the receiving space thereof can be gradually reduced in the insertion direction of the water reservoir 520. Thus, the water reservoir 520, which is slidably installed in the lower receiving part 512, can be easily detached from the lower receiving part 512. To this end, the shape of the water reservoir 520 matches with the shape of the lower receiving part 512.

In addition, the upper receiving part 511 is formed at one lateral side thereof with a hanger hole 514 to install the flowerpot 500 to the structure. For instance, the flowerpot 500 is hung on a nail (not shown) stuck into a wall through the hanger hole 514 so that the flowerpot 500 can be installed to the wall. Preferably, the hanger hole 514 is formed at a rear surface of the case 510 and the number of the hanger hole 514 may not be limited.

Further, a section area of an upper end portion of the upper receiving part 511 of the case 510 is gradually increased from a front to a rear thereof. That is, the upper end portion of the upper receiving part 511 of the case 510 is inclined. Thus, when the user views the flowerpot 500 in front of the flowerpot 500, the user can readily recognize the flower plants (not shown) planted in the upper receiving part 511.

The mounting member 540 according to the present embodiment includes a fixing plate 541 integrally formed with an outer surface of the case 510 and a magnet 543 mounted on the fixing plate 541. In addition, the fixing plate 541 is formed with a mounting hole 542 to mount the magnet 543. The magnet 543 may be press-fitted into the mounting hole 542 or inserted-molded in the fixing plate 540 when the case 510 and the fixing plate 540 are manufactured.

Preferably, knobs (not shown) are installed to the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520, respectively, to allow the user to readily move the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520.

In addition, according to the disclosure, transparent windows (not shown) may be formed in the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520, respectively, or the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 are manufactured by using transparent materials to allow the user to check the level of water stored in the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 from the outside. Thus, the user can readily check the water level in the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520, so the user can supply the water on time even if the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 have been used for a long time. In addition, at least a part of the lower receiving

parts

112, 212, 312, 412 and 512 may be manufactured by using a transparent material to allow the user to check the level of water stored in the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 from the outside.

Therefore, according to the

flowerpots

100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 attached with the wicks of the disclosure, the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 can be simply attached to or detached from the

cases

110, 210, 310, 410 and 510, respectively, so the cleaning work for the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 can be facilitated. In addition, since there is no need to check the water level by detaching the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 from the

cases

110, 210, 310, 410 and 510, the convenience of use may be improved.

Further, the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 can rotate and/or slide with respect to the

cases

110, 210, 310, 410 and 510, so that the user can conveniently supply the water into the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 using a water pipe having a large inlet, such as a water dispenser or a hose, after partially withdrawing the

water reservoirs

120, 220, 320, 420 and 520 from the

cases

110, 210, 310, 410 and 510.

In addition, an advertisement can be designed on the outer surface o f the case, so that the advertisement effect may be expected.

Although the disclosure has been described with reference to a number of illustrative embodiments and drawings thereof, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art that will fall within the spirit and scope of the principles of this disclosure.
