Description

MACETA PARA PLANTAS  MACETA FOR PLANTS
Campo de la invención Field of the Invention
La presente invención se refiere a una maceta para plantas, especialmente concebida para el cultivo de plantas que, por su crecimiento, debe ser trasplantada a macetas de mayores dimensiones arriates, tierra de jardines, etc.  The present invention relates to a pot for plants, especially designed for the cultivation of plants that, due to their growth, must be transplanted to flower pots of larger flower beds, garden soil, etc.
La maceta de la invención es aplicable tanto al cultivo de plantas de interior como de exterior, y ya sea de forma particular o en viveros comerciales. Antecedentes de la invención  The pot of the invention is applicable both to the cultivation of indoor and outdoor plants, and either in particular or in commercial nurseries. Background of the invention
Generalmente las plantas de jardinería se cultivan inicialmente en macetas de pequeñas dimensiones, donde se mantienen hasta que alcanzan un cierto crecimiento, siendo a continuación necesario trasplantarlas a otras macetas de mayores dimensiones o sobre tierra de arriates o jardines, todo ello con el fin de permitir que continúe el crecimiento tanto de la parte exterior como de las raíces de la planta.  Generally, garden plants are initially grown in small pots, where they are maintained until they reach a certain growth, then it is necessary to transplant them to other pots of larger dimensions or over land of beds or gardens, all in order to allow that the growth of both the outside and the roots of the plant continue.
Con las macetas tradicionales, constituidas por un recipiente de pequeñas dimensiones y dotado de orificio o aberturas de drenaje, cuando la planta adquiere un determinado crecimiento y debe ser trasplantada, es necesario extraer dicha planta de la maceta, operación que siempre provoca un cierto deterioro de la planta, fundamentalmente de sus raíces, y que en algunos casos además exige la destrucción de la maceta. El problema fundamental de este sistema es el deterioro de la planta, especialmente de sus raíces. Descripción de la invención  With traditional pots, consisting of a container of small dimensions and equipped with a hole or drainage openings, when the plant acquires a certain growth and must be transplanted, it is necessary to extract said plant from the pot, an operation that always causes a certain deterioration of the plant, fundamentally of its roots, and that in some cases also demands the destruction of the pot. The fundamental problem of this system is the deterioration of the plant, especially its roots. Description of the invention
La presente invención tiene por objeto eliminar los problemas expuestos, mediante una maceta constituida de modo que permita llevar a cabo el trasplante de la planta, sin necesidad de extraerla de la maceta que la contenía y sin que esta circunstancia suponga un obstáculo para el desarrollo posterior de sus raíces.  The present invention aims at eliminating the exposed problems, by means of a pot constituted so as to allow the plant to be transplanted, without having to extract it from the pot that contained it and without this circumstance being an obstacle for the subsequent development. of its roots
Para ello, de acuerdo con la invención, la maceta está constituida por dos recipientes de igual contorno, contenido uno dentro del otro. El recipiente exterior tiene unas dimensiones internas aproximadamente iguales a las externas de la porción del recipiente interno acop!able en dicho recipiente exterior. For this, according to the invention, the pot is constituted by two containers of the same contour, contained within each other. The outer container has internal dimensions approximately equal to the external ones of the portion of the inner container that can be coupled to said outer container.
El recipiente interno tiene el fondo abierto, en toda su extensión o solo en parte de la misma, pero con dimensiones suficientes para que el contorno de esta abertura no obstaculice el desarrollo de la planta y sus raíces.  The internal container has the bottom open, in its entirety or only part of it, but with sufficient dimensions so that the contour of this opening does not hinder the development of the plant and its roots.
De los dos recipientes que componen la maceta, el recipiente externo será preferentemente de altura menor que el recipiente interno.  Of the two containers that make up the pot, the outer container will preferably be of smaller height than the inner container.
Con la constitución comentada, el cultivo de una planta se inicia con los dos recipientes de la maceta acoplados entre sí, permitiendo el desarrollo de la planta hasta que adquiere un tamaño que requiere su trasplante a una maceta de mayores dimensiones o sobre tierra de un arriate o jardín. En este momento el recipiente interior conteniendo la planta se extrae del recipiente exterior, para su colocación sobre una maceta de mayores dimensiones o sobre la tierra de un jardín o arriate, sin que sea necesario extraer la planta del recipiente interior y todo ello debido a que dicho recipiente interior carece de fondo, permitiendo de este modo el desarrollo de las raíces de la planta a través de este fondo abierto, alcanzando la tierra sobre la que se haya efectuado el trasplante.  With the constitution mentioned, the cultivation of a plant begins with the two containers of the pot coupled together, allowing the development of the plant until it acquires a size that requires its transplantation to a pot of larger dimensions or above ground of a flowerbed or garden At this time the inner container containing the plant is extracted from the outer container, for placement on a pot of larger dimensions or on the soil of a garden or flowerbed, without it being necessary to extract the plant from the inner container and all this because said inner container lacks a bottom, thus allowing the development of the roots of the plant through this open bottom, reaching the soil on which the transplant has been carried out.
La principal ventaja de este sistema se centra en que el trasplante a una maceta más grande se realiza de manera más rápida y limpia y fundamentalmente sin que las raíces de la planta sufran deterioro alguno, permitiendo posteriormente con toda facilidad su expansión a través del fondo abierto de la maceta en la que se inició el cultivo.  The main advantage of this system is that the transplant to a larger pot is carried out more quickly and cleanly and fundamentally without the roots of the plant suffering any deterioration, allowing later easily expansion through the open bottom of the pot in which the cultivation began.
Los recipientes que conforman la maceta de la invención pueden adoptar cualquier configuración, por ejemplo ser de forma cilindrica, troncocónica, troncopiramidal, etc., pudiendo además incluir la pared del recipiente interior un escalón superior.  The containers that make up the pot of the invention can adopt any configuration, for example being cylindrical, conical, truncated pyramidal, etc., and the upper container wall may also include an upper step.
El recipiente extemo que entra a formar parte de la maceta de la invención tendrá en el fondo uno o más orificios o aberturas de drenaje. Tanto este recipiente exterior como el interior pueden ser reutilizables y además pueden estar constituidos a base de materiales biodegradables, tales como turba prensada, fibra de coco, etc.  The external container that becomes part of the pot of the invention will have at the bottom one or more holes or drainage openings. Both this outer and inner container can be reusable and can also be made of biodegradable materials, such as pressed peat, coconut fiber, etc.

Descripción detallada de un modo de realización Detailed description of one embodiment
En el ejemplo representado en los dibujos adjuntos se muestra una maceta constituida de acuerdo con ia invención, la cual está compuesta por dos recipientes, uno interno 1 y otro externo 2, acoplados entre sí, siendo el recipiente interior 1 de mayor altura que el recipiente exterior 2.  In the example depicted in the accompanying drawings, a pot constituted according to the invention is shown, which is composed of two containers, one internal 1 and one external 2, coupled together, the inner container 1 being of greater height than the container exterior 2.
Según puede apreciarse en la figura 2, el" recipiente exterior 2 tiene unas dimensiones internas aproximadamente iguales a las externas de la porción del recipiente interior 1 que se acopla dentro de dicho recipiente exterior 2. As can be seen in Figure 2, the " outer container 2 has internal dimensions approximately equal to the external dimensions of the portion of the inner container 1 that is coupled within said outer container 2.
El recipiente interior 1 tiene el fondo abierto, total o parcialmente. En el caso de la figura 3 el recipiente interior 1 carece de fondo, delimitando una abertura 3. Las paredes del recipiente interior 1 apoyarán sobre el fondo del recipiente exterior 2 el cual, tal y como puede apreciarse en las figuras 1 y 2 puede presentar rehundidos externos 4 que delimiten mesetas interiores 5 sobre las que apoyará el borde inferior de la pared del recipiente 1.  The inner container 1 has the bottom open, totally or partially. In the case of figure 3 the inner container 1 lacks a bottom, delimiting an opening 3. The walls of the inner container 1 will rest on the bottom of the outer container 2 which, as can be seen in figures 1 and 2, can present external recesses 4 delimiting interior plateaus 5 on which the lower edge of the vessel wall 1 will rest.
Con la constitución comentada, el cultivo de una planta dentro del recipiente 1 puede llevarse a cabo de forma tradicional, permitiendo el fondo abierto 3 de este recipiente interior el desarrollo de las raíces a través del mismo, alcanzando el fondo del recipiente exterior 2.  With the constitution mentioned, the cultivation of a plant inside the container 1 can be carried out in a traditional way, allowing the open bottom 3 of this inner container the development of the roots through it, reaching the bottom of the outer container 2.
Cuando la planta cultivada alcanza un tamaño determinado y es necesario proceder a su trasplante, éste puede realizarse extrayendo el recipiente interior 1 del recipiente exterior 2 y enterrando la planta junto con este recipiente interior 1 en otra maceta de mayores dimensiones o en la tierra de un arriate o jardinera. Al ir abierto el fondo del recipiente 1 se permitirá el desarrollo de las raíces de la planta y con ello el crecimiento de la misma, sin obstáculo alguno y sin que se produzca deterioro de las raíces de la planta. El recipiente exterior 2 puede ser reutilizado con un nuevo recipiente interior 1 para el cultivo de otra planta, o bien con el recipiente interior original 1 , en el caso de que este se recupere, una vez finalizada la vida de la planta trasplantada, en su caso. When the cultivated plant reaches a certain size and it is necessary to proceed to its transplantation, this can be done by extracting the inner container 1 from the outer container 2 and burying the plant together with this inner container 1 in another pot of larger dimensions or in the soil of a flowerbed or gardener. When the bottom of the container 1 is opened the development of the roots of the plant will be allowed and with it the growth of the same, without any obstacle and without deterioration of the roots of the plant. The outer container 2 can be reused with a new inner container 1 for the cultivation of another plant, or with the original inner container 1, in the event that it is recovered, once the life of the transplanted plant is finished, in its case.
Como ya se ha indicado, los recipientes 1 y 2 pueden ser de configuración distinta a la representada en los dibujos.  As already indicated, the containers 1 and 2 can be of a different configuration than the one shown in the drawings.
Ei recipiente exterior 2, tal y como puede apreciarse en la figura 2, puede disponer de uno o más orificios o aberturas de drenaje en el fondo.  The outer container 2, as can be seen in Figure 2, can have one or more holes or drainage openings in the bottom.
