Abstract

THE STRUCTURE OF UPWARD ABSORBABLE FLOWER POT
ABSTRACT
To manage a pot flower well, it is best to supply adequate water and fertilizer on time. By this invention water and fertilizer are supplied automatically upward to the plant. The body of various common type flower pots is extended downward, the bottom of this flower pot have to be established single or plural pipes pointing downward and the inside of this pipe(s) is filled with absorbable material being used as a wick(s). The upper part of this wick(s) provides contact with the soil in the pot and the bottom part of this wick(s) sinks into the water of the filled basement container. This invention is called "The Structure of Improved Flower Pot". By placing this flower pot inside the basement water container, the permeable activity is fulfilled automatically and supplies adequate water upward to the whole pot soil by effecting capillary action.

Description

AMENDMENT ' October 20, 1990 :: ~
SPECIFICATION ~
`:
This invention relates to the supply of adequate amount of moisture automatically to the plant from the basement water container through the wick(s) which is made of absorbable material, as a result the plant shall be kept always alive and freshness without doing much work.

Up until now a flower pot has been supplied with water on the surface of the pot soil, and it needs much work to care for it.
As a result it is difficult to keep an adequate amount of water in order to prevent loss of fertilizer. Too much water or submers-ing the pot in water for a period of time will decay the roots, ;
as a result the plant is going to die. To keep dryness for a ;;
period of time, the plant is also going to fade. Therefore, in order to provide for keeping adequate moisture, it is required to check the condition of moisture and fertilizer frequently. Further-more, with the absence of a caretaker's or unability to look after the plant, they will be unable to keep it alive.

This invention shows that the water and nourishments are transferred by permeable activity to the pot soil from the basement container, automatically going upward through the wick(s) which is made of absorbable cellulose or sponge such as multi porous materials in the pipe(s). They are supplying moisture to the plant by effecting capillary action providing moderate amounts of water allowing as much as the plant needs, neither too dry nor too moist.

AMENDMENT
October 20, 1990 This invention indicates that by only placing this flower pot in the basement water container, as the moderate amounts of moisture are always preserved equally the plant grows healthy and also solves most difficulties of the common type of flower pot.

Especially the water in the container is held for a longer period and soaks up the soil slowly, moss is created and grows actively, so that it effects fertilize the plant. For adding water, it is not necessary to water the surface of the pot soil but only fill the basement container with water, accordingly, there are prominent characteristics, such as extending the period of maintenance, preventing loss of fertilizer, making water soft and increasing fertilizer by proliferation of moss. If longer period of time is desired to keep well without work, should be enlarge the extention of body of flower pot and the basement water container, the pipe(s) have to be extended and, so that adjustable volume of water and size of the wick(s) proportionally depends on each plant.

I have found that this Improved Flower Pot will solve al the defects and difficulties of most various common types of flower pot.

This drawing which illustrate embodiment of the invention is a perspective drawing of a whole embodiment view when it is used.
Figure 1 is a body of flower pot, Figure 2 is a bottom of flower pot, Figure 3 is an extention of body of flower pot, Figure 4 is a pipe(s), Figure 5 is a wick(s), and Figure 6 is a basement water container.
The body of flower pot 1 is extended more length 3 to downward, and at the bottom of flower pot 2 establishes single pipe 4 or plural pipes to downward. Inside the pipe(s) filled with wick(s) 5 made of absorbable material, top of this wick(s) contacts with the soil and lower part of this wick(s) sinks in the water stored in the basement container 6.

Claims (3)

1. An extention of body length is extended to downward to the bottom of the body of the flower pot, an establishment of pipe is established single pipe or plural pipes pointing downward to the bottom of the flower pot, and the wick have to be created filling the inside of the pipe.

2. An extention of body length and an establishment of pipe(s) as defined in Claim 1, in which materials are any appropriate material, and the wick(s) filled inside the pipe(s) as defined Claim 1, in which materials are absorbable cellulose or sponge such as multi porous materials.

3. This wick(s) as claimed in Claim 1 and Claim 2, in which structure is, top part of wick(s) contacts with the soil and lower part of wick(s) sinks into the water stored in the basement container, which is called "The Improved Flower Pot" allowing the water permeating UPWARD flow to the pot soil through the effect of capillary action.
