Description

本発明は、植物を育てる為に、地面にその下端を差し込む植木鉢であり、植物の生育状況に応じて、そのまま室内に持ち込む事が可能で、さらに、インテリアや小物入れや食器などとしても使用可能な、極めて汎用性の高い植木鉢に関する。The present invention is a flower pot in which the lower end is inserted into the ground in order to grow a plant, which can be brought into the room as it is depending on the growth state of the plant, and can also be used as an interior, accessory case or tableware. It relates to a very versatile flower pot.

植木鉢に受け皿を取り付ける考案は過去にも存在したが、水を受けるだけの機能であって、意匠等は一切考慮されておらず、また、不要になっても、植木鉢以外の用途には転用できない。また、本発明は、日用品として、小物入れ、汎用容器、食器、調理器具などに転用可能な植木鉢であるが、植木鉢を製造販売する園芸用品業界と、日用品業界とは業種が異なるので、両方に共通する当業者はおらず、双方に展開する為の技術や発想は、存在しなかった。The idea of attaching a saucer to a flowerpot has existed in the past, but it is a function that only receives water, and design is not considered at all. Even if it is no longer necessary, it can not be diverted to uses other than flowerpots. . In addition, the present invention is a flower pot that can be diverted to daily goods, such as small items, general purpose containers, tableware, cooking utensils, etc., but the gardening industry that manufactures and sells flower pots is different from the daily necessities industry. There was no common person skilled in the art, and there was no technology or idea to develop in both.

本発明の、請求項１から請求項４のいずれかに記載された構成を複数採用すれば、前述の課題を、全て完璧に解決する事ができる。
一般的な植木鉢は、植木を入れるだけの機能しか無いので、例えば植物が枯れた場合など、他に転用ができない。しかし本発明であれば、受け皿と植木鉢本体と蓋を組み合わせる事により、色々な形状の容器として使用する事ができる。
例えば、受け皿の上に、多角形部分を貫通させた本体容器を複数重ね、最上部の開口部分に、貫通孔を設けた蓋を取り付ければ、傘などの長尺物を収納する傘立てになる。また、本体を植木鉢として使用し、花壇などに多角柱部分を差し込んで使用している時は、余っている受け皿と蓋とを組み合わせる事により、ペン立てなどの小物入れとして使用が可能で、全く無駄が無い。

Since a general flower pot has only a function for putting a plant, it cannot be diverted to other purposes, for example, when a plant withers. However, if it is this invention, it can be used as a container of various shapes by combining a saucer, a flowerpot main body, and a lid | cover.
For example, if a plurality of main body containers through which a polygonal portion is penetrated are stacked on a saucer and a lid provided with a through hole is attached to the uppermost opening portion, an umbrella stand for storing a long object such as an umbrella can be obtained. . Also, when using the main body as a flower pot and inserting a polygonal column part into a flower bed etc., it can be used as an accessory case such as a pen stand by combining the remaining saucer and lid, There is no waste.
In addition, in the configuration provided with a plurality of polygonal column parts, it is possible to cultivate a plurality of plants simultaneously, for example, in the kitchen garden, cultivating two types of vegetables at the same time, harvesting at the same time, bringing it into the kitchen as it is, It can be used for various purposes and is extremely convenient.

本発明の植木鉢を、地面に差し込み、使用している状態を表す。The state where the flower pot of the present invention is inserted into the ground and used is shown. 本発明品の植木鉢を、屋内で使用する状態を表す。The state which uses the flowerpot of this invention product indoors is represented. 本発明品の植木鉢を、下から見た状態を表す。The state of the flower pot of the present invention viewed from below is shown. 植物を２本植える事ができる本発明品の植木鉢を、下から見た状態を表す。The state of the flower pot of the present invention product that can plant two plants is viewed from below. 植物を２本植える事ができる本発明品の植木鉢を、上から見た状態を表す。The state of the flower pot of the present invention product that can plant two plants is viewed from above. 本発明品の植木鉢を、屋内で使用する場合の、構成を表す斜視図である。It is a perspective view showing a structure in the case of using the flower pot of this invention product indoors. 本発明品の植木鉢を積み重ね、小物入れや容器として使用する状態を表す。This represents a state where the flower pots of the present invention are stacked and used as an accessory case or container.

本発明を実施し、前述の課題を全て解決する為の形態や構成は、請求項１から請求項４に詳述された通りであり、そのいずれか、又はいずれか複数を選択すれば良い。その構成の一例を、図を使用して説明する。Embodiments and configurations for implementing the present invention and solving all the above-described problems are as described in detail in claims 1 to 4, and any one or a plurality of them may be selected. An example of the configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.

図１は、本発明の植木鉢を、花壇などの地面３に、差し込んで使用する状態を表す。多角柱部分２は、地表面から下に埋められるので見えないが、内部が貫通している為、植物はそのまま根を伸ばす事が可能で、植物の生育を妨げる事は無い。また、地表面には、土を満たした直方体部分１だけが見えているが、埋没された多角柱により、強風が吹いても転倒する心配が無く、直方体部分の意匠を煉瓦の様に並べる事により、花壇の飾りとして楽しむ事もできる。また、図示されていないが、多角柱部分の底に、貫通孔を設けた蓋を装着すれば、根の伸びを制御する事が可能で、盆栽などの用途に好適である。FIG. 1 shows a state in which the flower pot of the present invention is used by being inserted into the ground 3 such as a flower bed. The polygonal column portion 2 is not visible because it is buried below the ground surface, but since the inside penetrates, the plant can extend its roots as it is, and does not hinder the growth of the plant. In addition, on the ground surface, only the rectangular parallelepiped part 1 filled with soil is visible, but with the buried polygonal column, there is no fear of falling even if strong wind blows, and the design of the rectangular parallelepiped part is arranged like a brick. It can also be enjoyed as a flower bed decoration. Although not shown, if a lid provided with a through hole is attached to the bottom of the polygonal column portion, the root growth can be controlled, which is suitable for uses such as bonsai.

図２は、本発明品の植木鉢を屋内で使用する状態を表す。花壇などの地面で一定期間生育した植物を屋内に持ち込む際は、受け皿６を装着し、上部に蓋５を取り付ける。受け皿は、地面に埋め込まれていた多角柱２を覆い隠すと同時に、直方体部分と同じ意匠なので、室内に置いた場合に、インテリアとして最適となる。また、受け皿部分が深く、一定の水を溜める事が可能な上、着脱できる為、不要な水の処分も簡単である。FIG. 2 shows a state where the flower pot of the present invention is used indoors. When a plant grown on the ground such as a flower bed is brought indoors, a saucer 6 is attached and a lid 5 is attached to the top. The saucer covers the polygonal pillar 2 embedded in the ground and at the same time has the same design as the rectangular parallelepiped portion, so it is optimal as an interior when placed indoors. In addition, since the tray is deep and can store a certain amount of water, it can be removed and attached, making it easy to dispose of unnecessary water.

図３は、多角柱を八角柱とした状態の一例を、下から見た図であり、図４は、四角柱７を２つ設けた状態を、下から見た図である。また、図５は、八角柱９を２つ設けた状態を上から見た図であり、１５は補強用のリブを表す。尚、本発明品を樹脂による一体成形とすれば、リブや多角柱を形成する事が容易であり、廉価で大量生産が可能である。FIG. 3 is a view of an example of a state in which the polygonal column is an octagonal column viewed from below, and FIG. 4 is a diagram of the state in which two square columns 7 are provided viewed from below. FIG. 5 is a top view of a state in which two octagonal columns 9 are provided. Reference numeral 15 denotes a reinforcing rib. If the product of the present invention is integrally formed of resin, it is easy to form ribs and polygonal columns, and mass production is possible at low cost.

図６は、屋内で使用する状態の組み合わせを表す斜視図であり、多角柱は、角の数が無限に多い場合、即ち、円柱の状態を表している。
補強用のリブ１５は、植物の生育を妨げぬ様に、多角柱又は円柱部分には設けられていない。その為、受け皿１４に設けられたリブ１５は、植木鉢本体の多角柱又は円柱部分１３を把持する事ができる。また、蓋１１は、植木鉢の上部開口部に、インロー嵌合させれば良い。FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a combination of states used indoors. The polygonal column represents an infinite number of corners, that is, a cylindrical state.
The reinforcing ribs 15 are not provided on the polygonal column or the column portion so as not to hinder the growth of the plant. Therefore, the rib 15 provided in the receiving tray 14 can grip the polygonal column or the cylindrical portion 13 of the flower pot main body. Moreover, what is necessary is just to make the lid | cover 11 insert-fit in the upper opening part of a flowerpot.

図７は、本発明品の植木鉢を、傘立て等として使用する構成を表す。植物が枯れてしまい、植木鉢が不要になった場合でも、本発明品の図６の構成であれば、ペン立てなどに活用できる。さらに、本体１２を複数重ねた状態が図７である。多角柱１３は貫通しているので、植木鉢本体を複数積み重ねても、蓋に設けた孔から受け皿１４まで、多角柱部分が一直線に貫通しているので、傘などの長い棒状の物を挿入する事ができる。また、本発明品は直方体を基本としているので、図７の状態を横倒しにして使用したり、同構造の物を積み上げる事も可能で、多種多様な意匠形状の容器となる。FIG. 7 shows a configuration in which the flower pot of the present invention is used as an umbrella stand or the like. Even when the plant withers and the flower pot is no longer needed, the configuration of the product of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 can be used for a pen stand or the like. Further, FIG. 7 shows a state in which a plurality of main bodies 12 are stacked. Since the polygonal column 13 penetrates, even if a plurality of flower pot main bodies are stacked, the polygonal column part penetrates straight from the hole provided in the lid to the tray 14 so that a long rod-like object such as an umbrella is inserted. I can do things. In addition, since the product of the present invention is based on a rectangular parallelepiped, it can be used with the state shown in FIG. 7 being laid down, and the same structure can be stacked, resulting in a variety of design-shaped containers.

以上の通り、本発明の構成によれば、植物を花壇から屋内に持ち込む事が簡単で、逆に屋内から植木鉢のままで花壇に移植する事ができる。また、意匠形状を生かし、汎用性の高い物入れとしても活用が可能で、さらに、上下を逆にする、複数を組み合わせる、傾斜させて配置するなど、色々なバリエーションに展開可能で、本発明の課題を、全て完璧に解決できる。
家庭菜園で野菜や果物を育てた場合は、収穫した後、土を捨て、本体を運搬用の容器として使用すれば、極めて利便性が高い。さらに、キッチンに持ち込み、容器内で野菜や果物を洗い、そのまま食器としても活用できるので、無駄が無く、収穫後に邪魔になることも無い。
また、植木鉢を花壇等で使用中は、蓋と受け皿の組み合わせにより、小物入れとしても使用できる為、全く無駄が発生せず、極めて高い稼働率を確保できる。As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, it is easy to bring a plant indoors from a flower bed, and conversely, it can be transplanted from the indoor to a flower bed in a flower pot. In addition, it can be used as a highly versatile container, making use of the design shape, and can be developed in various variations such as upside down, combining multiple, tilting, etc. Can be solved completely.
When vegetables and fruits are grown in a kitchen garden, it is very convenient if the soil is discarded after harvesting and the main body is used as a container for transportation. Furthermore, since it can be brought into the kitchen, washed vegetables and fruits in the container, and used as it is as tableware, there is no waste and it does not get in the way after harvesting.
In addition, when the flower pot is used in a flower bed or the like, it can be used as an accessory case by combining the lid and the saucer, so that no waste occurs and a very high operating rate can be secured.

本発明の、請求項１から請求項４の、いずれかに記載された構成を、１つ又は複数選択して採用すれば、前述の課題を全て解決する事が可能で、汎用性が高くて高機能な植木鉢を、廉価で販売する事が可能となる。即ち、日用品産業の活性化を図る事ができる。If one or more of the configurations described in any one of claims 1 to 4 of the present invention are selected and used, all of the above-mentioned problems can be solved, and the versatility is high. High-performance flower pots can be sold at low prices. In other words, the daily goods industry can be activated.
