[0001] The present invention relates to a planter. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, one type of planter proposed for greening the rooftops of buildings is one that includes a planting chamber in which plants are planted, a planting mat body at the rear of the planting chamber that holds the branches and leaves of the plants, and a formwork plate to which the planting mat body is fixed with bolts or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-143472 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the conventional planter, as described above, the planting mat body is fixed to the formwork plate by bolts or the like, so that the planting mat body receives wind pressure, and if the wind pressure is excessive, there is a risk that the planter may fall over. Therefore, there is room for improvement in terms of increasing the stability of the planter installation.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above, and has an object to provide a planter that makes it possible to increase the stability of the planter when installed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the objective, the planter described in claim 1 is a planter for planting plants, comprising a planter body in which the plant is planted, holding means for holding the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and a hanging means attached to the planter body and for suspending the holding means in a rotatable manner.

[0007] The planter of claim 2 is the planter of claim 1, wherein the hanging means is a pair of support posts connected to the planter body, the pair of support posts being arranged at a distance from each other, a beam portion extending from one of the pair of support posts to the other, and a connection portion which connects the holding means to the beam portion so that it can be freely rotated.

[0008] The planter according to claim 3 is the planter according to claim 2, wherein the beam portion is configured in a cylindrical shape, and the connection portion is configured in an annular shape into which the beam portion can be inserted.

[0009] The planter described in claim 4 is a planter described in claim 2 or 3, in which the holding means comprises a holding means main body and a pair of support parts that support the holding means main body, each of the pair of support parts being connected to the beam portion via the connection part.

[0010] The planter described in claim 5 is the planter described in claim 4, further comprising suppression means for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant.

[0011] The planter described in claim 6 is a planter described in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which a pair of the planter bodies are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, the hanging means is connected to each of the pair of planter bodies, and the holding means is arranged to span between the hanging means, making the holding means rotatable and capable of being suspended.

[0012] The planter according to claim 7 is the planter according to claim 6, further comprising a tip-over prevention means for preventing the planter from tipping over by connecting the pair of planter bodies together. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the planter of claim 1, the planter comprises a planter body in which plants are planted, a holding means for holding the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plants, and a hanging means attached to the planter body for suspending the holding means so that it can rotate freely, so that it can deflect wind pressure acting on the holding means, compared to the prior art (a planter in which a planting mat body is fixed to a formwork plate with bolts or the like). This makes it possible to prevent the planter from falling over and to increase the stability of the planter's installation.

[0014] According to the planter described in claim 2, the hanging means comprises a pair of support posts connected to the planter body, a beam portion extending from one of the pair of support posts to the other, and a connection portion that connects the holding means to the beam portion so that it can be rotated freely, thereby making it possible to easily construct the hanging means and to improve the manufacturability of the hanging means.

[0015] According to the planter described in claim 3, the beam portion is configured in a cylindrical shape and the connection portion is configured in a circular ring shape into which the beam portion can be inserted. Therefore, compared to, for example, a case in which the beam portion is configured in a non-circular shape and the connection portion is configured in a non-circular shape, wind pressure acting on the holding means can be smoothly deflected, making it easier to prevent the planter from tipping over.

[0016] According to the planter described in claim 4, the holding means comprises a holding means main body and a pair of support parts that support the holding means main body, each of the pair of support parts being connected to the beam portion via a connection part, so that the holding means main body can be supported relatively stably, thereby improving the usability of the holding means.

[0017] According to the planter described in claim 5, a suppression means is provided for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant. This makes it possible to suppress fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, making it easier to avoid damage to the plant caused by the holding means swaying due to wind, etc.

[0018] According to the planter described in claim 6, a pair of planter bodies are arranged side by side horizontally, a hanging means is connected to each of the pair of planter bodies, and the holding means is arranged to span between the hanging means, making it possible to hang the holding means in a rotatable manner, so that plants can be planted on a trellis, improving the usability of the planter.

[0019] According to the planter described in claim 7, by connecting a pair of planter bodies together, a tip-prevention means is provided for preventing the planter from tipping over, so that a planter having a pair of planter bodies can be prevented from tipping over, and the stability of the planter installation can be further increased.

However, the diameter is not limited to this, and may be set to, for example, less than 10 cm or more than 15 cm.

[0085] (Configuration - Suspension section - Left side connection section, Right side connection section) The left connection part 54 and the right connection part 55 are connection parts that rotatably connect the holding part 40 to the beam part 53. The left connection part 54 and the right connection part 55 are each configured using, for example, a known connection member, and specifically, each of the left connection part 54 and the right connection part 55 is configured with an annular connection member (for example, a metal or resin connection member) through which the beam part 53 can be inserted.

[0086] However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each of the left connecting portion 54 and the right connecting portion 55 may be formed of a hook-shaped connecting member that can engage with the beam portion 53, for example.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 1(a), the left connection portion 54 and the right connection portion 55 are provided between the beam portion 53 and the retaining portion 40 (specifically, the left support portion 42 and the right support portion 43).

[0088] Specifically, the left connection part 54 is disposed at the left end of the beam part 53 or a position nearby therein so that the beam part 53 is inserted into the left connection part 54, and is connected to the upper end of the left support part 42 by a fastener, welding, or the like. The right connection part 55 is disposed at the right end of the beam part 53 or a position nearby therein so that the beam part 53 is inserted into the right connection part 55, and is connected to the upper end of the right support part 43 by a fastener, welding, or the like.

[0089] Such a hanging section 50 allows the hanging section 50 to be easily configured, and the manufacturability of the hanging section 50 to be improved. In addition, compared to, for example, a case in which the beam section 53 is configured in a non-annular shape and the connection section is configured in a non-annular shape, the wind pressure acting on the holding section 40 can be smoothly deflected, making it easier to prevent the planter 1 from tipping over. In addition, since each of the left connection section 54 and the right connection section 55 can slide in the left-right direction relative to the beam section 53, for example, when wind pressure acts on the holding section 40 in the left-right direction, the left connection section 54 or the right connection section 55 can slide relative to the beam section 53 to deflect the wind pressure, making it easier to prevent the planter 1 from tipping over.

[0090] The planter 1 described above can deflect wind pressure acting on the holding part 40, compared to the conventional technology (a planter in which the planting mat body is fixed to the formwork plate with bolts or the like). This makes it possible to prevent the planter 1 from falling over, and to increase the stability of the installation of the planter 1.

[0091] (About the function of planters) Next, the operation of the planter 1 configured as described above will be described.

[0092] In embodiment 1, the action of the planter 1 can be broadly divided into an action when the holding portion 40 is not exposed to wind (hereinafter referred to as the "first action"), an action when the holding portion 40 is exposed to wind from the front to the rear (hereinafter referred to as the "second action"), and an action when the holding portion 40 is exposed to wind from the rear to the front (hereinafter referred to as the "third action"), and these actions will be explained below.

[0093] (About the Function of Planters - First Function) First, the first action will be described.

[0094] For example, when the holding portion 40 is not exposed to wind, the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant planted in the planter body 10 are held by the holding portion 40.

[0095] This allows the plants to be planted in desired positions and / or shapes, making it possible to plant the plants in accordance with various needs.

[0096] (About the Function of Planters - Second Function) Next, the second action will be described.

[0097] For example, as shown in FIG. 2(a), when the holding portion 40 receives wind from the front to the rear, the wind pressure of the wind causes the holding portion 40 to rotate rearward (specifically, as the left connection portion 54 and the right connection portion 55 rotate relative to the beam portion 53, the holding portion 40 rotates rearward), and the wind pressure is deflected.

[0098] This reduces the load of the wind pressure acting on the holding portion 40, thereby preventing the planter 1 from tipping backwards due to the holding portion 40 being subjected to the wind.

[0099] (About the Function of Planters - Third Function) Next, the third action will be described.

[0100] For example, as shown in FIG. 2(b), when the holding portion 40 receives wind from the rear toward the front, the wind pressure of the wind causes the holding portion 40 to rotate toward the front (specifically, as the left connection portion 54 and the right connection portion 55 rotate relative to the beam portion 53, the holding portion 40 rotates toward the front), and the wind pressure is deflected.

[0101] This reduces the load of the wind pressure acting on the holding portion 40, thereby preventing the planter 1 from tipping forward due to the holding portion 40 being subjected to the wind.

[0102] (Effects of the First Embodiment) Thus, according to the first embodiment, the planter includes a planter body 10 in which a plant is planted, a holding part 40 that holds the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and a hanging part 50 that is attached to the planter body 10 and suspends the holding part 40 so that it can rotate freely. Therefore, compared to the prior art (a planter in which a planting mat body is fixed to a formwork plate with bolts or the like), the planter is able to deflect wind pressure acting on the holding part 40. This makes it possible to prevent the planter 1 from tipping over and to increase the stability of the planter 1 when installed.

[0103] In addition, the hanging part 50 includes a pair of support posts connected to the planter body 10, a beam part 53 extending from one of the pair of support posts to the other, and a connection part that connects the holding part 40 to the beam part 53 so that it can be freely rotated. Therefore, the hanging part 50 can be easily constructed, and the manufacturability of the hanging part 50 can be improved.

[0104] Furthermore, since the beam portion 53 is configured in a cylindrical shape and the connection portion is configured in a circular ring shape into which the beam portion 53 can be inserted, the wind pressure acting on the holding portion 40 can be smoothly deflected, making it easier to prevent the planter 1 from tipping over, compared to, for example, a case in which the beam portion 53 is configured in a non-circular ring shape and the connection portion is configured in a non-circular ring shape.

[0105] In addition, the holding portion 40 comprises a holding portion main body 41 and a pair of support parts that support the holding portion main body 41, with each of the pair of support parts being connected to the beam portion 53 via a connection part, so that the holding portion main body 41 can be supported relatively stably, thereby improving the usability of the holding portion 40.

[0106] [Embodiment 2] Next, a planter according to a second embodiment will be described. In addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, the second embodiment further includes a suppression section, which will be described later. However, the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of the first embodiment unless otherwise specified, and the same configuration will not be described by using the same names or symbols as those used in the first embodiment as necessary.

[0107] (composition) First, the configuration of the planter according to the second embodiment will be described.

[0108] The planter 100 according to the second embodiment includes a planter body 10, a holding portion 40, a hanging portion 50, and a suppressing portion 110, as shown in FIG.

[0109] (Configuration - Planter body) The planter body 10 is configured substantially the same as the planter body 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0110] (Configuration - Holding part) The holding portion 40 has substantially the same structure as the holding portion 40 according to the first embodiment.

[0111] (Configuration-hanging part) The suspending part 50 has substantially the same configuration as the suspending part 50 according to the first embodiment.

[0112] (Configuration-Suppression part) The suppression part 110 is a suppression means for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding part main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and as shown in Figure 3, is provided with a left suppression part 111 and a right suppression part 112.

[0113] (Configuration - Suppression part - Left side suppression part) The left side suppression part 111 is a part of the basic structure of the suppression part 110. This left side suppression part 111 is configured using, for example, a known wire (for example, a metal or resin wire, etc.), and as shown in Fig. 3, is provided between the left side support part 42 and the left side support part 51 (or the left side storage frame 21c), and is connected to each of the left side support part 42 and the left side support part 51 (or the left side storage frame 21c) by a fastener, welding, or the like.

[0114] (Configuration-Suppression part-Right side suppression part) The right-side suppressing part 112 is another part of the basic structure of the suppressing part 110. This right-side suppressing part 112 is configured using, for example, a known wire (for example, a metal or resin wire, etc.), and as shown in Fig. 3, is provided between the right-side support part 43 and the right-side support part 52 (or the right-side storage frame 21d), and is connected to each of the right-side support part 43 and the right-side support part 52 (or the right-side storage frame 21d) by a fastener, welding, or the like.

[0115] (Configuration-Suppression section-Other configurations) In addition, the specific configurations of the left side suppression unit 111 and the right side suppression unit 112 are arbitrary, but in embodiment 2, the left side suppression unit 111 and the right side suppression unit 112 are configured so that when the holding unit 40 receives wind from the front and rear directions and the shaking of the holding unit 40 reaches a predetermined distance, the shaking can be suppressed.

[0116] Specifically, the axial length of the left side suppression portion 111 is set to the distance between the left side support portion 42 and the left side pillar portion 51 (or the left side storage frame 21c) plus the above-mentioned specified distance, and the axial length of the right side suppression portion 112 is set to the distance between the right side support portion 43 and the right side pillar portion 52 (or the right side storage frame 21d) plus the above-mentioned specified distance.

[0117] The method for setting the above-mentioned predetermined distance is arbitrary, but in the second embodiment, it is desirable to set the distance to a length that makes it easy to maintain the holding position between the holding unit main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and that can reduce the load of wind pressure acting on the holding unit 40. As an example, the distance may be set to about 1 cm to 3 cm.

[0118] 4, when the holding part 40 is exposed to wind from the front and rear directions, if the swaying of the holding part 40 reaches a predetermined amount, the left side suppression part 111 and the right side suppression part 112 are tensed, thereby suppressing excessive swaying of the holding part 40. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the holding position between the holding part main body 41 and the branches and leaves and / or stems of the plant from fluctuating, and it becomes easier to avoid damage to the plant as the holding part 40 sways in response to wind, etc. Furthermore, the suppression part 110 can be constructed and installed relatively easily, and the manufacturability and installability of the suppression part 110 can be improved.

[0119] (Effects of the second embodiment) Thus, according to embodiment 2, a suppression section 110 is provided for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding section main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant. This makes it possible to suppress fluctuations in the holding position between the holding section main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, making it easier to avoid damage to the plant caused by the holding section main body 41 swaying due to wind, etc.

[0120] Third Embodiment Next, a planter according to embodiment 3 will be described. In addition to the configuration of embodiment 1, embodiment 3 further includes a suppression section different from embodiment 2. However, the configuration of embodiment 3 is the same as the configuration of embodiment 1 except where otherwise specifically described, and the same configuration will be omitted from description by using the same names or symbols as those used in embodiment 1 as necessary.

[0121] (composition) First, the configuration of the planter according to the third embodiment will be described.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 5, the planter 200 according to the third embodiment includes a planter body 10, a holding portion 40, a hanging portion 50, and a suppressing portion 210.

[0123] (Configuration - Planter body) The planter body 10 is configured substantially the same as the planter body 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0124] (Configuration - Holding part) The holding portion 40 has substantially the same structure as the holding portion 40 according to the first embodiment.

[0125] (Configuration-hanging part) The suspending part 50 has substantially the same configuration as the suspending part 50 according to the first embodiment.

[0126] (Configuration-Suppression part) The suppression part 210 is a suppression means for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding part main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and as shown in Figure 5 (b), is provided with a connection side suppression part 211 and a beam side suppression part 212.

[0127] (Configuration-Suppression part-Connection side suppression part) The connection side suppression part 211 is a part of the basic structure of the suppression part 210. The connection side suppression part 211 is formed of, for example, a metal (or resin) protrusion (for example, a substantially plate-shaped protrusion), and is provided on each of the left connection part 54 and the right connection part 55, as shown in FIG.

[0128] Specifically, the connection side suppression portion 211 is arranged so as to protrude upward from the lower portion of the inner edge of each of the left connection portion 54 and the right connection portion 55, and is connected to the left connection portion 54 or the right connection portion 55 by a fastener or welding, etc.

[0129] Furthermore, the specific size of the connection side suppression unit 211 is arbitrary, but in the third embodiment, it is set as follows.

[0130] That is, the left-right length of the connection-side suppression portion 211 is set to be approximately the same as the left-right length of the left connection portion 54 (or the right connection portion 55). However, without being limited thereto, for example, the left-right length may be set to be equal to or greater than the left-right length of the left connection portion 54 (or the right connection portion 55), or may be set to be less than the left-right length of the left connection portion 54 (or the right connection portion 55).

[0131] The length of the connection-side suppression portion 211 in the vertical direction is set shorter than the inner diameter of the left connection portion 54 (or the right connection portion 55), and may be set to about half of the inner diameter, for example. However, the invention is not limited to this, and may be set to more than half of the inner diameter, or less than half of the inner diameter, for example.

[0132] (Configuration - Suppression part - Beam side suppression part) The beam side suppression part 212 is another part of the basic structure of the suppression part 210. The beam side suppression part 212 is formed, for example, of a metal (or resin) protrusion (for example, a substantially plate-shaped protrusion), and specifically, is formed over the entire length of the beam part 53 in the left-right direction.

[0133] As shown in FIG. 5(b), a plurality of beam-side suppression portions 212 are provided on the beam portion 53 (two are provided in FIG. 5(b)).

[0134] Specifically, the beam side suppression portion 212 is arranged forward of the connection side suppression portion 211, separated by a first distance S1, and is arranged rearward of the connection side suppression portion 211, separated by a second distance S2, and is each connected to the beam portion 53 by fasteners or welding, etc.

[0135] Here, the first interval L1 and the second interval L2 may be set in any manner, but in the third embodiment, it is desirable to set each of the first interval L1 and the second interval L2 to a length that makes it easy to maintain the holding position between the holding unit main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, and that can reduce the load of wind pressure acting on the holding unit 40. As an example, each of the first interval L1 and the second interval L2 may be set to about 1 cm to 3 cm. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each of the first interval L1 and the second interval L2 may be set to, for example, 3 cm or more.

[0136] 6, when the holding part 40 is exposed to wind from the front-rear direction, if the swaying of the holding part 40 reaches a predetermined amount, one of the two connection side suppression parts 211 and the beam side suppression part 212 come into contact with each other, thereby suppressing excessive swaying of the holding part 40. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the holding position between the holding part main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant from fluctuating, and it becomes easier to avoid damage to the plant caused by the holding part 40 swaying in the wind or the like. In addition, the suppression part 210 can be constructed and installed relatively easily, and the manufacturability and installability of the suppression part 210 can be improved.

[0137] (Effects of the Third Embodiment) Thus, according to embodiment 3, the suppression section 210 is provided for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding section main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant. This makes it possible to suppress fluctuations in the holding position between the holding section main body 41 and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, making it easier to avoid damage to the plant caused by the holding section main body 41 swaying due to wind, etc.

[0138] Fourth embodiment Next, a planter according to embodiment 4 will be described. In addition to the configuration of embodiment 1, embodiment 4 is provided with a plurality of hanging parts and a tip-over prevention part. However, the configuration of embodiment 4 is the same as that of embodiment 1 unless otherwise specified, and the same configuration will be omitted from the description by using the same names or symbols as those used in embodiment 1 as necessary.

[0139] (composition) First, the configuration of the planter according to the fourth embodiment will be described.

[0140] As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the planter 300 according to the fourth embodiment comprises a front planter body 10a, a rear planter body 10b, a front hanging section 50a, a rear hanging section 50b, a holding section 40, and an anti-tip section 310. The above-mentioned "front planter body 10a" and "rear planter body 10b" correspond to "a pair of planter bodies 10" in the claims.

[0141] (Configuration: Front planter body, rear planter body) Returning to Figure 7, the front planter body 10a and the rear planter body 10b are each configured substantially identically to the planter body 10 in embodiment 1, and are arranged side by side horizontally on the installation surface S, as shown in Figures 7 to 9.

[0142] Specifically, the front planter body 10a and the rear planter body 10b are arranged such that their respective longitudinal directions are substantially aligned with the left-right direction. The front planter body 10a is arranged forward of the rear planter body 10b with a gap therebetween.

[0143] The method for setting the interval is arbitrary, but in the fourth embodiment, the interval is set to be substantially the same as the longitudinal length of the left support part 42 (or the right support part 43) of the holding part 40. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the interval may be set to be longer or shorter than the longitudinal length of the left support part 42 (or the right support part 43) of the holding part 40, for example.

[0144] (Configuration - front hanging part, rear hanging part) Returning to Fig. 7, front-side hanging portion 50a and rear-side hanging portion 50b are configured substantially the same as hanging portion 50 according to embodiment 1. As shown in Figs. 7 to 9, front-side hanging portion 50a is connected to front-side planter body 10a, and rear-side hanging portion 50b is connected to rear-side planter body 10b.

[0145] Specifically, for front hanging portion 50a, left support portion 51 of front hanging portion 50a is disposed at the left end side of storage portion 20 of front planter body 10a so as to generally follow the vertical direction of the longitudinal direction of left support portion 51, and is fixed to storage portion 20 by a fastener or the like. Also, right support portion 52 of front hanging portion 50a is disposed at the right end side of storage portion 20 so as to generally follow the vertical direction of the longitudinal direction of right support portion 52, and is fixed to storage portion 20 by a fastener or the like.

[0146] In addition, with regard to rear hanging portion 50b, left support portion 51 of rear hanging portion 50b is disposed at the left end portion of storage portion 20 of rear planter body 10b so as to generally follow the vertical direction of the longitudinal direction of left support portion 51, and is fixed to storage portion 20 by a fastener or the like. In addition, right support portion 52 of rear hanging portion 50b is disposed at the right end portion of storage portion 20 so as to generally follow the vertical direction of the longitudinal direction of right support portion 52, and is fixed to storage portion 20 by a fastener or the like.

[0147] (Configuration - Holding part) Returning to FIG. 8, the holding portion 40 has substantially the same structure as the holding portion 40 according to the first embodiment.

[0148] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the holding portion 40 is provided so as to bridge between the front hanging portion 50a and the rear hanging portion 50b, thereby allowing the holding portion 40 to be suspended in a rotatable manner.

[0149] Specifically, holding portion 40 is disposed approximately horizontally so as to extend from beam portion 53 of front-side hanging portion 50a to beam portion 53 of rear-side hanging portion 50b. Then, left side support portion 42 of holding portion 40 is connected to left side connection portion 54 of front-side hanging portion 50a and left side connection portion 54 of rear-side hanging portion 50b by a fastener, welding, or the like, and right side support portion 43 of holding portion 40 is connected to right side connection portion 55 of front-side hanging portion 50a and right side connection portion 55 of rear-side hanging portion 50b by a fastener, welding, or the like.

[0150] In this case, the inner diameters of left connection portion 54 and right connection portion 55 in front-side hanging portion 50a and rear-side hanging portion 50b are arbitrary, but in embodiment 4, it is desirable to set each to a length that can reduce the load of wind pressure acting on retaining portion 40, and as an example, each may be set to about 1.5 to 3 times the diameter of beam portion 53 of front-side hanging portion 50a and rear-side hanging portion 50b. However, without being limited thereto, each may be set to, for example, 3 or more times the diameter of beam portion 53.

[0151] By providing such a holding portion 40, plants can be grown on a trellis, thereby improving the usability of the planter 300.

[0152] (Configuration - Fall prevention part) Returning to Fig. 8, the tip-over prevention parts 310 are a tip-over prevention means for preventing tip-over of the planter 300. These tip-over prevention parts 310 are configured using, for example, known connecting members (one example is a long metal or resin connecting member), and as shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, a plurality of tip-over prevention parts 310 are provided between the front planter body 10a and the rear planter body 10b (two are provided in Fig. 8).

[0153] Specifically, one of the two tip-over prevention parts 310 is connected to the left side of the storage frame 21 of the front planter body 10a and the left side of the storage frame 21 of the rear planter body 10b by a fastener, welding, etc. The other of the two tip-over prevention parts 310 is connected to the right side of the storage frame 21 of the front planter body 10a and the right side of the storage frame 21 of the rear planter body 10b by a fastener, welding, etc.

[0154] However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a tip-over prevention part 310 is further connected to a middle part of the storage frame 21 of the front planter body 10a and a middle part of the storage frame 21 of the rear planter body 10b by a fastener, welding, etc. Alternatively, only one tip-over prevention part 310 may be provided between the front planter body 10a and the rear planter body 10b.

[0155] Such a tip-over prevention section 310 can prevent the planter 300, which includes the front planter body 10a and the rear planter body 10b, from tipping over, and can further increase the stability of the planter 300 when installed.

[0156] (Effects of the Fourth Embodiment) Thus, according to embodiment 4, a pair of planter bodies 10 are arranged side by side horizontally, a hanging part 50 is connected to each of the pair of planter bodies 10, and the holding part 40 is arranged to span between the hanging parts 50, so that the holding part 40 can be hung freely and rotatably, thereby allowing plants to be planted on a trellis and improving the usability of the planter 300.

[0157] In addition, by connecting a pair of planter bodies 10 together, a tip-prevention section 310 is provided to prevent the planter 300 from tipping over, so that the planter 300, which is equipped with a pair of planter bodies 10, can be prevented from tipping over, and the stability of the installation of the planter 300 can be further increased.

[0158] [III] Modifications to the embodiment Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations and means of the present invention can be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical ideas of the inventions described in the claims. Such modifications will be described below.

[0159] (About the problem to be solved and the effects of the invention) First, the problems that the invention aims to solve and the effects of the invention are not limited to those described above, and the present invention may solve problems that are not described above or achieve effects that are not described above, or may solve only some of the problems that are described or achieve only some of the effects that are described.

[0160] (shape, number, structure, time series) The components illustrated in the embodiments and drawings may be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention with respect to the shape, numerical values, or structure or chronological relationships of multiple components.

[0161] (Planter body) In the above embodiments 1 to 4, the planter body 10 has been described as including the storage frame 21 and the partition material 23, but this is not limited thereto, and for example, the storage frame 21 and / or the partition material 23 may be omitted.

[0162] In addition, when the storage frame 21 is omitted, the storage surface portion 22 may be formed, for example, by integrally forming the front storage surface material 22a, the rear storage surface material 22b, the left side storage surface material 22c, the right side storage surface material 22d, and the lower storage surface material.

[0163] In addition, in the above-mentioned first to fourth embodiments, the number of the partition members 23 provided is one, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of the partition members 23 provided may be two or more.

[0164] (Regarding the holding part) In the above embodiment 1, it was described that there are two support parts (left side support part 42 and right side support part 43), but this is not limited to this and, for example, there may be only one, or there may be three or more (this is substantially the same for planters in other embodiments).

[0165] Further, in the fourth embodiment, the number of holders 40 provided is one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be two or more.

[0166] As an example, in addition to the planter 300 in Figures 7 to 9, the holding portion 40 may be rotatably suspended from the beam portion 53 of the front hanging portion 50a via a connection portion, and / or the holding portion 40 may be rotatably suspended from the beam portion 53 of the rear hanging portion 50b via a connection portion.

[0167] (About the hanging part) In the above-mentioned first to fourth embodiments, the left support column 51 and the right support column 52 are described as being configured using linear support materials, but this is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, they may be configured using support materials whose side shapes are substantially A-shaped, or may be configured using support materials whose side shapes are ladder-shaped.

[0168] In addition, in the above embodiments 1 to 4, it has been described that the beam portion 53 is configured in a cylindrical shape, but this is not limited thereto, and it may be configured in a shape other than a cylindrical shape (for example, a rectangular tube shape, an elliptical tube shape, or a solid rod shape).

[0169] In addition, in the above embodiments 1 to 4, the various connection parts (left connection part 54, right connection part 55) are described as being configured in a circular ring shape, but this is not limited thereto, and they may be configured, for example, in a non-circular ring shape (for example, a rectangular ring or an elliptical ring).

[0170] (Regarding the suppression part) In the above embodiment 2, it has been described that the suppression unit 110 is equipped with the left suppression unit 111 and the right suppression unit 112, but this is not limited to the above, and for example, either the left suppression unit 111 or the right suppression unit 112 may be omitted.

[0171] In addition, in the above embodiment 2, it has been described that the left side suppression part 111 and the right side suppression part 112 are made of wire, but this is not limited thereto, and they may be made of, for example, a plate-shaped or rod-shaped abutment part made of metal (or resin or wood).

[0181] The planter of Appendix 5 is the planter of Appendix 4, further comprising a suppression means for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant.

[0182] The planter of Appendix 6 is a planter as described in any one of Appendixes 1 to 3, in which a pair of the planter bodies are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the hanging means is connected to each of the pair of planter bodies, and the holding means is arranged to span between the hanging means, so that the holding means can be suspended freely in a rotatable manner.

[0183] The planter of Appendix 7 is the planter of Appendix 6, further comprising a tip-over prevention means for preventing the planter from tipping over by connecting the pair of planter bodies together.

[0184] (Effect of supplementary notes) The planter described in Appendix 1 includes a planter body in which plants are planted, a holding means for holding the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plants, and a hanging means attached to the planter body for suspending the holding means so that it can rotate freely, so that it can deflect wind pressure acting on the holding means, compared to the prior art (a planter in which the planting mat body is fixed to the formwork plate with bolts or the like). This makes it possible to prevent the planter from falling over and to increase the stability of the planter's installation.

[0185] According to the planter described in Appendix 2, the hanging means comprises a pair of support posts connected to the planter body, a beam extending from one of the pair of support posts to the other, and a connection part that connects the holding means to the beam so that it can be rotated freely. This makes it possible to easily construct the hanging means and to improve the manufacturability of the hanging means.

[0186] According to the planter described in Appendix 3, the beam portion is configured in a cylindrical shape and the connection portion is configured in a circular ring shape into which the beam portion can be inserted. Therefore, compared to, for example, a case in which the beam portion is configured in a non-circular shape and the connection portion is configured in a non-circular shape, wind pressure acting on the retaining means can be smoothly deflected, making it easier to prevent the planter from tipping over.

[0187] According to the planter described in Appendix 4, the holding means comprises a holding means main body and a pair of support parts that support the holding means main body, with each of the pair of support parts being connected to the beam portion via a connection part, so that the holding means main body can be supported relatively stably, thereby improving the usability of the holding means.

[0188] According to the planter described in Appendix 5, a suppression means is provided for suppressing fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant. This makes it possible to suppress fluctuations in the holding position between the holding means main body and the branches, leaves and / or stems of the plant, making it easier to avoid damage to the plant caused by the holding means swaying due to wind, etc.

[0189] According to the planter described in Appendix 6, a pair of planter bodies are arranged side by side horizontally, a hanging means is connected to each of the pair of planter bodies, and a holding means is arranged to span between the hanging means, making it possible to hang the holding means in a rotatable manner, so that plants can be planted on a trellis and the usability of the planter is improved.

[0190] According to the planter described in Appendix 7, by connecting a pair of planter bodies together, a tip-prevention means is provided for preventing the planter from tipping over, so that a planter having a pair of planter bodies can be prevented from tipping over and the stability of the planter installation can be further increased.
