Embodiment

[0092] Figure 6 Another embodiment of a container is shown, which has another orifice 55 at the other end of the channel 50. In this embodiment, the channel allows the fluid in the channel 50 to enter and exit.

[0093] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7A with Figure 7B As shown, the container has multiple channels, in Figure 7A with Figure 7B Is shown as two channels. in Figure 7A Here, the channels 50, 56 are arranged side by side with each other, thereby forming three compartments 60, 70, 130. in Figure 7B In this case, the first passage 50 is arranged perpendicular to the second passage 56. As those skilled in the art can realize, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, the arrangement and number of channels provided can be changed into infinite arrangements.

[0094] In the sixth embodiment of the container, such as Figure 8 As shown, the inner panel includes notches 66 provided along the top end of the inner panel to allow fluid to flow in t...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a receptacle for use in a green roof system, said receptacle including four sides, each side having a top end and a bottom end, defining a depth of said receptacle; said depth for receiving at least a plant and growth medium, wherein said receptacle further includes a channel extending therethrough a bottom end of said receptacle, said channel formed by at least two edge panels, forming the sides of the channel, having a height less than said receptacle, said channel further including at least an orifice at an end of said channel, to allow egress of fluid received therein said receptacle. Advantageously, this invention may be used in any form of industry, where there is a need to retain a level of fluid, without any external controls.; The invention also advantageously includes a growth medium guard, when in use in a green roof system, to prevent growth medium from being washed out of the receptacle during periods of heavy influx of fluids.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container advantageously used in tropical climates and to a green roof system using the container. Background technique [0002] Cities are often called urban heat islands. Cities are usually hotter than the surrounding rural areas. This is because there is less green space due to the massive construction of buildings and artificial ground in the city. These surfaces tend to absorb and trap the heat before it is radiated back to the surrounding environment, leading to a phenomenon commonly referred to as the "urban heat island effect." [0003] With economic development and increasing land development, most cities have lost a lot of green space on the ground. In order to reduce the urban heat island effect, it is necessary to find other alternative spaces for vegetation. [0004] Greening on the top of the roof is one of the ways to add extra green space to the constructed city to improve the living environment. This is a ...
