Description

1 / 8 “MOBILE ANTI-DIGUE AND SELF-IRRIGATING VASE”. From the technical application sector

[001] The subject matter of the patent application now submitted falls within the field of application of utensils intended for the accommodation, cultivation and / or decoration, among soil, stones and other minerals, of organisms belonging to the Plantae kingdom, provided that they are suitable for such purpose. From the fundamentals

[002] As is common knowledge, since ancient times humanity has had the habit of placing plants in pots, whether for cultivation, gardening, therapy, relaxation, personal beliefs, aesthetics, decoration and beautification of both indoor and outdoor environments, among other purposes, also combining the air purifying and humidifying properties provided by plants. Of the existing problems

[003] Notwithstanding the existence of the most varied reasons for individuals and / or groups to adopt the practice of arranging diverse and suitable plants in pots, and logically depending on the volumetric proportions, as well as the types of plants included in them, their movement on surfaces can prove much more difficult due to the weight and the dimensional and spatial aspects involved, making their carrying between the hands and arms inadvisable and / or impractical, which, in addition to potentially causing spinal problems and consequently affecting the health of the carrier, even for short distances or for mere repositioning, displacement, local cleaning and Petition 870250004061, dated 17 / 01 / 2025, page 7 / 21 2 / 8 similar factors can also harm or damage the structure and appearance of planted items, especially the more sensitive ones, whose fragile condition is absolutely common in the vast majority of plant species.

[004] Another major problem that exists is the fact that many existing conventional planter models depend on their placement in lower saucers and / or internal reservoirs to retain water from watering or rainwater, requiring enormous attention and responsibility on the part of the caretaker to avoid the formation of puddles and the accumulation of fluids conducive to the attraction, spawning and proliferation of insects, especially the dreaded Aedes aegypti, which causes devastating diseases such as Dengue, Zika virus, yellow fever and Chikungunya. State of the art

[005] In order to solve and alleviate some of the main problems mentioned above, a wide variety of plant pot stands with casters have been introduced to the market. Although relatively efficient, they have the disadvantage of being sold separately, resulting in higher costs and making it more difficult for the buyer to find the one that best suits their needs in terms of aesthetics, load-bearing capacity, mobility, appropriate dimensions, proper fixation by friction, gravity, lifespan, and a number of other factors, including the indispensable characteristic, especially nowadays, of being completely free of gaps, cracks, and sections that could cause damage. Petition 870250004061, dated 17 / 01 / 2025, page 8 / 21 3 / 8 accumulate water to prevent the worrying and much-mentioned spawning and proliferation of insects.

[006] It is also known that independent supports with casters can pose a risk of the pots placed on them falling if the specifications regarding dimensions, correct centering, and weight limit are not observed. It is also not uncommon for displacement and falls to occur due to obstacles or malfunctioning casters when pulling or pushing the assembly, abruptly stopping the support and causing the inertial movement to knock the pot over, breaking it and / or causing dirt, damage to the plants, and even possible injuries to the transporter, thus generating a series of problems.

[007] Furthermore, independent standard supports have the unsightly disadvantage of their respective casters remaining visible, negatively impacting harmony, creating visual noise and interfering with the overall aesthetic, in addition to moving on conventional axles that are impractical and sometimes difficult to handle. State of the art

[008] Regarding the state of the art, document no. BR8100165 can be cited, for example, relating to a rolling toilet base with a water collector, comprising a disc-shaped plate with radial protruding ribs on the floor of a central truncated conical cavity surrounding a recessed drain with drainage perforations for irrigation water to a removable drawer flanked by casters, Petition 870250004061, dated 17 / 01 / 2025, page 9 / 21 4 / 8 exemplifying exactly some of the problems reported above and related to the limited and specific constructive arrangement, restricted options and versatility, with higher costs per unit acquisition for each pot, further aggravated by its inadequacy and inadvisability in current times due to its capacity and purpose of retaining water in its aforementioned lower drawer, which, even though removable, requires exhaustive constant checking and emptying of the container to avoid both overflow and the real possibility of forming a mosquito breeding ground, since long intervals may certainly occur without careful and proper verification to remove the dangerously stagnant and accumulated water. Regarding the object and its respective advantages.

[009] Considering only some of the problems mentioned above and with the purpose of solving them as adequately as possible, as well as with the intention of making available to the market an innovative model in its corresponding operational purpose, the object of the patent application in question was conceived, designed and developed, consisting of a container finished in a vase capable of providing a more practical, quick, safe and simplified way of moving it freely, without the need to lift or carry it by hand or arm, especially when heavily filled with dry or moistened minerals, plants and similar elements, also bringing together characteristics that make it anti-dengue by dispensing with the use of saucers and internal reservoirs, as well as being self-irrigating, due to allowing the passage of Petition 870250004061, dated 17 / 01 / 2025, page 10 / 21 5 / 8 longer periods to carry out the irrigation process. Regarding the constructive characteristics and technical effects achieved

[010] To achieve its mobility and anti-dengue effect without needing to be supported on plates and / or independent supports with casters, the toilet model in question was defined as a single body with a wide flanged rim that forms an internal contouring edge, with its interior floor equipped with reinforcing corner pieces and raised semi-cubicular recesses flanked by equally reinforcing fins combined with axial lateral protrusions, into which, on their opposite side, fit the T-shaped axle pins, with chamfered ends insertable into the lateral guide slots of the quadrangular cavities formed by the aforementioned raised semi-cubicular recesses, in which the cylindrical casters are housed, passing centrally and longitudinally through the aforementioned T-shaped axle pins, also delimited between a thin, discreetly protruding circular lower edge interrupted by opposing spacings,The presence of these cylindrical casters allows the pot to be moved easily without having to lift it off the ground, pulling or pushing it as desired or needed, thus eliminating the need for excessive effort.

[011] Since the vase in question does not require the use of saucers or independent transport supports, coupled with the fact that its own casters remain protected at the bottom, no gaps, voids or spaces are formed that could accumulate water in this base, support and movement area of ​​the assembly, preventing Petition 870250004061, dated 17 / 01 / 2025, page 11 / 21 6 / 8 thus the occurrence of egg laying and proliferation of insects.

[012] In addition to this, the casters remain covered and virtually invisible at the bottom of the toilet, without causing any interference or visual noise, improving its aesthetics and attractiveness, through a bold, visually clean, simplified design and a much more pleasing and sophisticated configurational aspect, since its wheels do not rotate on conventional axles, but follow a single direction of movement, making it more functional and also facilitating the handling and maintenance of the environment in a much more practical and efficient way.

[013] As for its self-watering property, this feature is guaranteed by the presence of an external re-entrant opening resulting from the conformation of an elevated internal conical drain, also reinforced by triangular fins at its base, opposite the nozzle with a cross-shaped drain and spacer teeth, causing the water received in the plant and in the pot to remain stored for longer at the bottom of the pot and up to the limit of the aforementioned nozzle, maintaining the necessary moisture and allowing the watering process to be carried out at longer periodic intervals. From the listing and graphical representations of the object.
