Description

A Self-Irrigating Stackable Wall Mountable Plaque Planting System

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a vertical growing system of plant pots or a group that can be stacked and mounted to a wall and fed, watered and monitored independent of any household or mains power or external assistance.

Background

Various forms of wall mounted plant pots are currently available but all appear to have certain limitations or adverse features.

These previous forms of wall plants range from single mountable flat backed plant pots that cannot interact with other similar pots to engage and stack as some plant enthusiasts may wish.

Others may interact but have no orderly method to direct the flow of drainage through an entire formation of stacked plant pots.

There are various forms of planter baskets that attach to brackets, stands or perforated backing boards but all seem to have one or more restrictions.

Some are so complicated they are very expensive to manufacture consisting of many individual planting containers attached in various ways and for the consumer very expensive to purchase and still do not include all the benefits of the current invention.

These versions of wall planters may include intricate irrigation devices including many interconnecting tubes and various irrigation outlets that require a lot of instruction, knowhow and effort from the consumer to install and operate and may require the use of household electricity. Others are just so simple that they may adversely affect or damage the wall that they are mounted upon with misdirected drainage and have a non-aesthetic appeal and do not deliver all of the functions of the current invention in one simple system.

Many do not include any form of irrigation or possess an irrigation system that is far too intrusive and complex and not easy to install for the common user and will still not provide an inexpensive, independent and automatic system that in itself can monitor the

environment and needs of the supported plant life without the regular oversight of the user. Summary

The present invention is directed toward simplifying the way wall planting systems are manufactured. Simplifying the installation of a group or stacked formation of wall planting systems and method of irrigation.

In so doing the costs of parts and raw materials are dramatically reduced and the expense of covering a wall with an extended plurality of interconnected multi planting systems is much more affordable and will achieve far greater benefits to the user and the occupying growing plants.

The invention relates to a novel simple design that can be installed easily by all

demographics of the community however possess independently powered state of the art technology to monitor, water, feed, change pH. Levels when necessary, cool in extreme heat, and inform you by way of an alert via an application on a smart phone.

Also provided are:

(A) The Plaque design is very simple with only a shell like mountable back panel with inward depressions on the front outward facing surface with opposing and corresponding shell like engaging front facia panels. This combination forms all growing areas, and there are no individual pots or heavy supporting brackets.

(B) There is either a direct irrigation method passing through the back panel of the inward depressions or a novel simple aqueduct system to transport irrigation from a single centrally located irrigation line with one inlet and one outlet to direct irrigation laterally to each growing area in the upper region of the mountable plaque and in turn each front facia panel is equipped to direct excess drainage into the centre of the growing areas directly below and the process duplicated by all growing areas located below. (C) There is no possibility of excess drainage being directed backward toward the supporting wall as the growing areas have a water tight rear wall with the shell like mountable back panel shielding the wall from any misdirected moisture.

(D) The easy to install mountable wall plaques can precisely interconnect or align with other identical wall plaques making alignment simple.

(E) There is only one secured irrigation line that transports irrigation from a supporting and connected reservoir tank and drip tray to an entire stacked formation of wall plaques. (F) The irrigation may be externally sourced or a system that is totally independent from all external assistance including electricity and water supply. The irrigation system is a life support for the supported plants.

It provides its own self-generated power from solar cells and lithium battery packs which will in turn power a timing device, submersible pump or a submersible pump with a perpetual movement and any number of electronic aids to monitor and activate programs to provide an ideal growing environment including LED Displays, Charging ports, USB hubs, sensors to activate external irrigation supply and sensors to control refilling, adjusting nutrient levels, pH levels from sealed reserves of supplements held within the said lid with the ability of controlling said levels from using a purpose designed and programed application on a smart phone or remote controller to alert the user to make certain adjustments from a location far removed if necessary.

(G) The facia panels may be easily removed to expose the entire contained soil area and root ball without disturbance or plant shock for plant thinning, plant removal, soil

improvements or transplantation.

(H) These facia panels are very inexpensive to manufacture and require one quarter of the raw materials needed to produce a pot like structure with reduced tooling costs.

(I) Replacement of facia panels to change a colour scheme or appearance for aesthetic appeal is fast, and inexpensive, these facia panels only use a fraction of raw materials and an extended selection of colours and designs can and easily become available packed into small carry home packs to change the whole decor of the users environment without major disturbance of transplantation. According to this invention there is provided a Self-irrigating Multi Planting System Wall Mountable Plaque wherein the growing cavities are formed by a shell like boxed backing panel and interconnecting facia panels.

This backing panel has a rear open cavity and inwardly lobed depressions on its outward facing wall engaging around the lower outer rim of said depressions with correspondingly shaped shell like lobed facia panels in a clip together fashion using slots and tabs to engage and form containment areas to hold soil and growing plants.

The growing cavities are formed by a shell like boxed backing panel having a rear open cavity and inwardly lobed depressions on its outward facing wall engaging around the lower outer rim of said depressions.

There are correspondingly shaped shell like lobed facia panels in a clip together fashion to form containment areas to hold soil and growing plants.

The mountable backing plate, lobed shaped facia panels or both are fashioned with direct irrigation channels or a combination of upper aqueduct styled directional flow gutters and excess drainage channels or holes to direct drainage into the central area of an open cavity of similar growing pockets immediately below. This will enable irrigating the entire planting system whether it is a single mountable plaque or a plurality of stacked plaques from one single irrigating outlet. This solitary irrigation line is connected to a supporting life support station housing a water reservoir and an electronically controlled and self-monitoring internal irrigating system totally independent of household or mains power.

The mountable plaque formations are supporting and holding this irrigation line and held securely within the back cavities of the shell like boxed backing panel/s and direct irrigation to the centre of an upper located aqueduct channel system.

The mountable wall backing plate is fitted with this irrigation means consisting of an irrigation hose coupling connector or hose holder passing through the bottom wall, irrigation hose securing clips or holders positioned on the back internal surface of the mountable plaque backing plate.

There is an irrigation outlet, bubbler or dripper head passing through the top side wall of the mountable wall backing plate and an aqueduct styled irrigation gutter formed into the top side wall to direct irrigation laterally then outward and into the uppermost formed growing cavities.

The aqueduct styled irrigation gutter and irrigation outlet, bubbler or dripper head may also be formed or positioned into a detachable hatch like cover for ease of manufacture and to allow access to replace or inspect internal irrigation equipment.

Each facia panel may also have in another preferred embodiment a series of holes passing through the facia wall to further grow plants outwardly, horizontally or downwardly.

Each mountable backing plate has anchor points and a means of securing to any vertical surface with fastening equipment e.g. screws, bolts, hooks, rivets etc. and each have the ability of joining securely and in alignment with another mountable backing plate positioned immediately above, below or beside with the use strategically positioned of interlocking tabs and slots.

A mounted and fully assembled wall Plaque or a vertically aligned series of multiple assembled mounted wall planting system plaques are further supported by an overflow catchment tank to receive excess drainage from the lowermost growing pockets.

This drainage may be directed from a singularly mounted or a formation of stacked, engaged, aligned and mounted series of fully assembled wall plaques.

The drainage overflow catchment tank is configured as a plants life support system to provide nutrients and water to the plants housed within a singular or stacked wall planting system of mounted plaques.

The lid of this catchment tank is modified to securely house and position a chargeable battery or a solar chargeable battery, a solar cell for charging, a timer capable of collectively operating at preprogramed regulated cycles, a submersible pump or submersible pump with a perpetual movement within its reservoir area.

It comprises a bottom wall and a side wall/s and an opened cavity forming a catchment tank that includes overflow drainage outlets passing through or over the said side wall/s at its upper region with both bottom and side walls supporting a perforated water drainage area within the said lid.

There is an irrigation outlet within the lid preferably centrally located.

The lid spans across the upper opening of the reservoir tank and rests upon its upper edge, lip, step/s and any form of internal supporting pillars immediately above adjacent to or in alignment with said side wall overflow drainage outlets.

When in use the combined system provides water storing regulated self-reticulating watering system irrigating a supported singular or stacked series of planting system wall plaques.

This can operate independently and at regulated intervals in any suitable plant growing environment without the requirement of mains or household power and may be assisted by any number of electronic devices and attachments.

These aids may include LED Displays, Charging ports, USB hubs, sensors to activate external irrigation supply and sensors to control refilling, adjusting nutrient levels, pH levels from sealed reserves of supplements held within the said lid.

This life support system will also have the ability of controlling said levels with the assistance of a purpose designed and programed application on a smart phone or remote controller to open and close release valves at predetermined time spans to auto dispense.

The facia panels are made up of numerous shapes and designs or are differently coloured and or constructed from a different material to the plaque backing plate for aesthetic appeal.

Other advantages and features of the disclosure will become apparent to persons of ordinary skill in the art upon review of the appended claims and upon review of the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention
