Abstract

The invention relates to a watering plug which can be used with standard bottles made of glass, plastic or other materials, thus making it possible to constitute a water reserve for plant containers. The device consists of a frustoconical plug (1) (hollow on the inside) intended to be inserted inside the neck (5) of a bottle (6), prolonged on the outside by a conical rod (2) which is integral with the frustoconical plug (1) (hollow on the inside) and intended to be accommodated in the earth of the plant container, which conical shaft (2) comprises a system (3) of discharging the liquid which is absorbed by capillarity by the earth. The device according to the invention is intended in particular, using any bottle, for constituing an independent water reserve for pots, vases, jardinieres and/or plant containers.

Description

a présente invention (fig 1), consistant en un bouchon tronconique (i) prolongé par une tige conique (2) comportant un sys tème (3) d'évacuation de liquide et un disque (4) de maintien d'équilibre du dispositif, est destinée à être utilisée avec la plupart des bouteilles standard permettant ainsi, en retournant la bouteille (6) et en enfonçant la tige conique (2) dans la terre d'un bac à plantes (fig 2), d'utiliser une réserve d'eau indépendante de ce dernier. a present invention (fig 1), consisting of a frustoconical plug (i) extended by a conical rod (2) comprising a system (3) for discharging liquid and a disc (4) for maintaining the balance of the device, is intended to be used with most standard bottles thus allowing, by turning the bottle (6) and pushing the conical rod (2) into the soil of a plant container (fig 2), to use a reserve of water independent of the latter.

Cette invention est constituée par une pièce en matéria-a plastique, comportant le bouchon tronconique (i) proprement dit, une tige conique (2) qui comporte un ou plusieurs orifices (3) d'évacuation de liquide (ou éventuellement une partie en matériau poreux ou en tissu ayant la même finalité des dits orifices) et un disque (4) d'un diamètre suffisant pour stabiliser ltéquili- bre de la bouteille avec son contenu dès que le dispositif est en place. This invention consists of a piece of plastic material, comprising the frustoconical plug (i) proper, a conical rod (2) which has one or more orifices (3) for discharging liquid (or possibly a part made of material porous or fabric having the same purpose of said orifices) and a disc (4) of sufficient diameter to stabilize the balance of the bottle with its contents as soon as the device is in place.

Le bouchontronconique (1), de diamètres aptes à tre aclaptés à la plupart des bouteilles standard, est destine à être enfiche à l'intérieur du goulot (5) des dites bouteilles d'une manière étanche à l'extérieur; il est creux à l'intérieur et communique aux deux extrémités afin de transmettre l' t eala contenue dans la bouteille (6) à la tige conique (2) dont il est solidaire. il est réalisé avec un matériau suffisemment souple qui lui conf- re l t étanchéité requise et anéamoins assez rigide pour supporter le poids de la bouteille et de son contenu. Il est moulé d'une seule pièce avec la tige et le disque. The conical cap (1), of diameters able to be adapted to most standard bottles, is intended to be inserted inside the neck (5) of said bottles in a sealed manner outside; it is hollow inside and communicates at the two ends in order to transmit the t eala contained in the bottle (6) to the conical rod (2) of which it is integral. it is made with a sufficiently flexible material which gives it the required tightness and is nevertheless rigid enough to support the weight of the bottle and its contents. It is molded in one piece with the rod and the disc.

'la tige (2) est conique avec le sommet à l'opposé du bocc afin d'en faciliter la pénétration dans la terre. Elle est creuse à l'intérieur et ouverte à l'intérieur du côté du bouchon tronconique (i) selon sa section horizontale afin de communiquer avec ce dernier. 'the rod (2) is conical with the top opposite the bocc to facilitate penetration into the earth. It is hollow inside and open inside the side of the frustoconical plug (i) along its horizontal section in order to communicate with the latter.

La tige conique (2) comporte un ou plusieurs orifices (3) dont le diamètre est tel qu'il puisse permettre à la terre d'absorber par capillarité l'eau en quantité nécessaire et suffisante; elle peut comporter, au lieu des orifices, une partie en matériau poreux ou en tissu ayant la même finalité que ces derniers. The conical rod (2) has one or more orifices (3) whose diameter is such that it can allow the earth to absorb water by capillarity in a necessary and sufficient quantity; it may include, instead of the orifices, a part made of porous material or fabric having the same purpose as the latter.

Lorsque la terre absorbe l'eau par ces orifices (3) (ou éventuellement par la partie en matériau poreux ou en tissu), une dépression d'air se crée à l'intérieur de la bouteille (6); lorsque cette dépression devient supérieure à la dépression due à l'absorption capillaire de l'eau par la terre, l'air contenu naturellement dans la terre est aspiré par compensation dans la bouteille (6) par ces mêmes orifices (3) (ou matériau poreux ou tissu), réétablissant ainsi automatiquement la pression initiale dans cette dernière, ce qui permet le renouvelement du cycle absorption de l'eau - aspiration de l'air.  When the earth absorbs water through these orifices (3) (or possibly through the part made of porous material or fabric), an air depression is created inside the bottle (6); when this depression becomes greater than the depression due to the capillary absorption of water by the ground, the air naturally contained in the ground is sucked by compensation in the bottle (6) by these same orifices (3) (or material porous or tissue), thus automatically re-establishing the initial pressure in the latter, which allows the renewal of the water absorption - air suction cycle.

Be disque () a uniquement la fonction de stabiliser l'équilibre du dispositif.  Be disc () only has the function of stabilizing the balance of the device.
