Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Extendable pot

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is an extendable planter. This innovation offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the scope of everyday life needs, in the classification of horticulture, cultivation of vegetables, flowers, rice, fruits, vines, hops or algae, forestry, irrigation, especially in containers, for example, flower pots or planters.

[0007] STATE OF THE ART

[0008] The present invention arises from the difficulty of handling large plants without damaging them when transplanting them.

[0009] This is because, especially, those plants with numerous stems and large leaves, as well as trees in large pots, present a challenge that makes transplanting cumbersome and also leads to dirtying the soil more than necessary.

[0010] Accordingly, this invention presents an extendable pot that allows the use of pot extenders to provide more depth for the plant's root growth, which promotes its more extensive and healthy development.

[0011] Currently, the existence of any extendable pot is unknown, which has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The object of the present invention is the creation of an extendable pot that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0013] The present invention relates to an extendable pot consisting of a base piece that is coupled to at least one extension piece, which in turn is coupled to a main pot containing a plant, where said extension piece allows the length of the main pot to be extended, capable of providing space for the roots and stem in favor of the continuous growth of the plant.

[0014] This innovation solves the difficulty of transplanting large plants without causing damage.

[0015] This invention is very useful, as it offers a solution for healthy plant growth by providing more space for root development, which in turn translates into improved absorption of nutrients and water from the substrate, promoting more vigorous and healthy plant growth.

[0016] It also offers convenience by facilitating the handling and care of large plants, without the need to transplant them or expose them to damage.

[0017] The extendable planter consists of three main components: the base piece, at least one extension piece, and the main body, which contains the plant.

[0018] The base piece sits at the bottom of the pot and is surrounded by a wall that creates a large interior space for the substrate and excess water, while at the bottom, it features a prominent rim that provides stability and firmness.

[0019] In addition, this base piece features holes that allow water drainage, preventing soil compaction and ensuring an adequate supply of water to the roots.

[0020] It also has a saucer that provides additional space to collect excess water, preventing spills and making irrigation easier to control. It stands out for being made of a durable, transparent material like plastic or resin, allowing you to check the moisture level of the plant's roots.

[0021] The extension piece is located between the main body and the base piece, allowing for the coupling of several extension pieces, which expands the longitudinal space of the main body, providing greater depth for the development of a more extensive and healthy root system.

[0022] Like the base piece, the extension piece and the main body are made of a durable material such as plastic or resin.

[0023] The main body is the component that houses the plant and is coupled to the extension piece and the base piece by means of a solid coupling system, for example male and female threads, providing flexibility to adapt to different needs of the plant to be contained.

[0024] To use the extendable planter, the user must first unscrew the base piece from the main body, thus avoiding contact with the plant and reducing the risk of damaging any of its parts. The extendable piece is then screwed onto the base piece, transforming the whole planter into a larger pot.

[0025] Once the set is filled with substrate, this set is screwed back onto the main body, which is where the plant is located with its roots, stem, leaves and original substrate.

[0026] This way, the plant is given new space to grow without damaging its roots, leaves, or stem.

[0027] It is important to note that as many extension pieces as necessary can be added, as long as the assembly maintains its stability and balance, both aesthetically and functionally.

[0034] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0035] The present invention relates to an extendable planter, the main feature of which is the inclusion of a base piece (1) designed to be coupled to one or more extension pieces (2), which, in turn, are connected to a main body (3). This main body (3) is intended to contain a plant, and thanks to the functionality of at least one extension piece (2), the extension of the length of the main body (3) is facilitated, thus allowing to provide additional space for the growth of the roots and stem of the plant, thus favoring its continuous development.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the base piece (1) is designed with an upper part (4) formed by a wall where the main body (3) or the extension pieces (2) are attached, which creates a large interior space suitable for the substrate and the management of excess water. Likewise, its lower part is characterized by having a noticeable and prominent rim (5) that provides significant stability and firmness to the entire structure of the extendable pot.

[0037] Preferably, the base piece (1) includes holes (6) specifically designed to allow efficient water drainage. This feature is crucial to prevent soil compaction inside the pot, thus ensuring an adequate supply of water to the plant's roots.

[0038] Typically, the base piece (1 ) is accompanied by a saucer (7) into which the plant is inserted and rests. This saucer (7) provides additional space that is used to collect excess water that escapes through the holes (6) after watering, preventing unnecessary spills and facilitating irrigation management, which helps to keep the surrounding area clean and tidy. Preferably, the base piece (1 ) is made using a strong, transparent material, such as plastic and / or resin. This transparency allows users to directly observe the moisture level of the roots, thus facilitating irrigation management and general plant care.

[0039] Preferably, the coupling system used to join together the base piece (1), the extension piece (2) and the main body (3) is by means of a male and female screwing mechanism, which ensures a solid and stable union of the parts.

[0040] Preferably, the base piece (1), the extension piece (2) and the main body (3) are available in different shapes and dimensions. These pieces fit together according to their corresponding shapes and dimensions, providing flexibility in use, enabling a customized and effective solution for growing a wide variety of plants.

[0041] Generally, the extension piece (2) and the main body (3) are made of a resistant material, such as plastic and / or resin.

[0042] Typically, the extender piece (2) has the ability to accommodate the coupling of multiple extender pieces (2) which significantly expands the longitudinal space of the pot, thus offering greater depth for the development of a more extensive and healthy root system.

[0043] The extension pieces (2) and the main body (3) can be identical, so that it is possible to place an extension piece (2) above the main body (3).

[0044] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
