Abstract
Description
【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to a planter for ornamental plants. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Conventionally, as a planter for ornamental plants having a structure for supporting plants as ornaments, for example, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1. This planter for ornamental plants is configured such that a plurality of cylinders having different heights are provided in a container supported by legs, and ornamental plants can be set in each cylinder. 【0003】 However, the planter for ornamental plants disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not suitable for indoor viewing. Also, the only way to change the variation of plant arrangement is to change the height of the cylinder. This planter for ornamental plants cannot appropriately respond to the size of the installation location and the preferences of users. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0004】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2019-76588 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0005】 An object of the present invention is to provide a planter for ornamental plants that can freely set the display variation of ornamental plants. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0006】 As a means to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ornamental planter comprising a base that can be placed on a mounting surface and has at least one connecting recess on its upper surface, and an ornamental plant planter body that is attached to the connecting recess and has a storage recess capable of accommodating the root portion of an ornamental plant and soil, wherein the base has a connecting structure that allows multiple bases to be disassembled and connected side by side. 【0007】 This configuration allows for flexible layout options depending on the size of the installation area, by arranging and connecting multiple bases side by side. The number and shape of the ornamental planter bodies can also be easily changed. 【0008】 The base has a groove formed on its bottom surface, and the connecting structure consists of grooves that communicate with each other when multiple bases are placed side by side, and a connecting piece that spans the grooves of each base, wherein the thickness of the connecting piece is preferably less than the depth of the groove. 【0009】 With this configuration, multiple bases can be easily connected using connecting pieces. 【0010】 Preferably, the grooves are connected to adjacent bases to form a cross shape, and the connecting pieces are cross-shaped and positioned in all of the cross-shaped grooves. 【0011】 This configuration allows for a stronger connection between the bases. In some cases, it becomes possible to connect more bases with a single connecting piece. 【0012】 The planter body for ornamental plants preferably has a drainage hole in the lower part of the receiving recess that communicates with the side surface. 【0013】 With this configuration, even if the planter body for ornamental plants is long, the water supplied to the recessed area will not stagnate, thus preventing root rot of the ornamental plants housed inside. 【0014】 Preferably, the planter body for ornamental plants has a conical shape at the lower part of the receiving recess, with a drainage hole in its center that communicates with the groove. 【0015】 With this configuration, water supplied to the storage recess can be directly discharged into a groove on the underside of the base. Therefore, water droplets and other contaminants do not remain within the user's line of sight. 【0016】 The base is provided with a support column that extends upward and has a mounting recess on its upper end surface, The planter body for ornamental plants preferably has a shaft portion on its bottom surface that is attached to the mounting recess. 【0017】 This configuration allows ornamental plants to be placed in various locations at different heights. Moreover, when replacing or maintaining ornamental plants, only the planter itself can be removed for the work. 【0018】 The base, the planter body for ornamental plants, and the support post are made of a translucent material, and it is preferable that the support post has a recess on its outer surface. 【0019】 With this configuration, diffuse reflection of light can occur due to the transmitted light and, in particular, the shape of the support column which has a recessed area. 【0020】 It is preferable to further provide a cover that covers the upper surface of the base and has an opening that exposes the connecting recess. 【0021】 With this configuration, the top surface can always be kept in good condition by simply replacing the inexpensive cover. [Effects of the Invention] 【0022】 According to the present invention, since a plurality of bases are detachably connected, it is possible to freely arrange them according to differences in the size and shape of the installation location, etc., and it is also possible to freely change the number and shape of the planter bodies for ornamental plants. That is, it is possible to freely set the display variations of ornamental plants. 【Brief Description of the Drawings】 【0023】 [Figure 1] It is a perspective view of a planter for ornamental plants according to the present embodiment.

In the following description, terms indicating specific directions or positions (for example, terms including "top," "bottom," "side," and "edge") will be used as needed. The use of these terms is for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the invention with reference to the drawings, and the meaning of these terms does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the following description is essentially illustrative and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses. In addition, the drawings are schematic, and the proportions of each dimension may differ from those of reality. 【0025】 Figures 1 and 2 show a planter for ornamental plants according to this embodiment. This planter for ornamental plants comprises a base 1, a support column 2, and a planter body 3 for ornamental plants. 【0026】 Multiple bases 1 are used in combination. Base 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Examples of materials for base 1 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. In this embodiment, base 1 is made of a translucent resin material (in this case, acrylic resin). However, the material used is not limited to resin; it may also be metal, for example, aluminum with anodized surface treatment can be used. 【0027】 The smallest unit of the base 1 is the first base 4, a rectangular parallelepiped with a square shape in plan view, as shown on the right side of Figure 3. In the first base 4, a connecting recess 5 is formed in the center of the top surface. The connecting recess 5 is square in plan view, and its four sides are at a 45-degree angle with the four sides of the bottom member. At the four corners of each connecting recess 5, there are arc-shaped relief sections 6 that extend outward in the planar direction. In other words, there are four relief sections 6. Also, at the center of the bottom surface of each connecting recess 5, an opening 7 is formed that opens 13 into the bottom surface of the first base 4, as shown in Figure 4. Grooves 8 extend from the four corners of the bottom surface of the first base 4, communicating with the openings 7. 【0028】 Other embodiments of the base 1 include a second base 9, which is formed by integrally molding two of the smallest units shown on the left side of Figure 3, and a third base 10, which is formed by integrally molding four units arranged in pairs in the X and Y directions. The number of smallest units to be integrally molded and the direction in which they are arranged can take various forms depending on the location where the base 1 is to be installed. In other words, there are various embodiments other than those shown. For example, an embodiment in which three smallest units are arranged can be used. 【0029】 A connecting piece 11 is used to connect two bases 1 together. The connecting piece 11 is used to connect two bases 1 together. The connecting piece 11 is pressed into the groove 8 by bringing it into contact with the side surface of the base 1 and ensuring that the grooves 8 of the two bases are in cross shape. The thickness of the connecting piece 11 is smaller than the depth of the groove 8. As a result, when the connecting piece 11 is placed in the groove 8, a shallower groove remains in the groove 8 than the others. It is preferable that the pressing of the connecting piece 11 into the groove 8 is such that it does not come loose during use, but can be removed later. Examples of materials for the connecting piece 11 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. In this embodiment, the material of the connecting piece 11 is a translucent resin material, similar to the base 1. 【0030】 The surface of the base 1 is covered by the cover 12, as shown in Figure 5 (Figure 5 only shows components related to the third base 10). The cover 12 is for protecting the surface of the base 1. The base 1 is an expensive component with a large thickness and a complex shape, including grooves 8 formed on its bottom surface. Therefore, even if the top surface is scratched or dirty, the problem can be addressed by replacing only the cover 12, rather than the base 1. The cover 12 is provided with a square opening 13 in plan view, similar to the connecting recess 5. When the cover 12 is attached to the surface of the base 1, the cover 12 is configured to cover the relief portion 6 of the base 1. 【0031】 The support column 2 is a rod-shaped body with a rectangular cross-section (in this case, a square cross-section). The upper end surface (first end surface 2a) of the support column 2 is formed perpendicular to the axis, and a first mounting recess 14, which is circular in plan view, is provided in its center. The lower end surface (second end surface 2b) of the support column 2 is formed obliquely to the axis, and the second mounting recess 15 is formed perpendicular to the inclined second end surface 2b. The support column 2 can also be of various forms, similar to the base 1. Examples of materials for the support column 2 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. In this embodiment, similar to the base 1, it is made of a translucent resin material. 【0032】 The first support column 16, shown in the vertical cross-sectional view in Figure 7, can be used in two ways: by inserting its lower end into the connecting recess 5 of the base 1 (first mounting method), or by inserting its upper end inverted (second mounting method). When used in the second mounting method, the ornamental plant planter body 3, described later, can be positioned at an angle. Therefore, the ornamental plants held in the ornamental plant planter body 3 can be easily viewed by the user. The inclination angle of the second end face can be freely designed according to how the ornamental plant planter body 3 is displayed, as described later. 【0033】 The second support column 17 shown in Figure 8 is similar to the one shown in Figure 7 in that the shape of the upper and lower end surfaces and the provision of the first mounting recess 14 and second mounting recess 15 thereon are the same, but the length and the shape of the body are different. Specifically, the second support column 17 has recesses 18 formed at each of the four corners of the body by curved surfaces that gradually deepen from top to bottom and then become shallow again. 【0034】 Furthermore, the length of the support column 2 can vary. The support column 2 is integrated with the base 1 by positioning its lower end in the connecting recess 5 of the base 1. It is preferable that the positioning of the lower end of the support column 2 in the connecting recess 5 of the base 1 be done by press-fitting to a degree that it will not come loose during use but can be removed later. 【0035】 In this embodiment, the ornamental planter body 3 is made of a translucent resin material, similar to the base 1 and support column 2. The ornamental planter body 3 can be configured in various ways, including having a receiving recess 19 on its upper surface. Materials such as ceramic, aragonite, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic, or epoxy resin can also be used for the ornamental planter body 3. Other materials that can be used for the ornamental planter body 3 include, for example, metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. 【0036】 The first ornamental planter body 20 shown in Figures 9 and 10 is a planter capable of accommodating at least the root portion of an ornamental plant and soil (soil is not required when used for hydroponics). In this embodiment, it is equipped with side walls and a bottom surface capable of accommodating the plant and soil. Specifically, the first ornamental planter body 20 is composed of a body 21 that is square in plan view and a first shaft portion 22 that extends downward from the center of its bottom surface. The body 21 is surrounded on all four sides by side walls, forming a first accommodating recess 23. First drainage holes 24 that penetrate to the bottom surface are formed at each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the first accommodating recess 23. The root portion of the plant is accommodated in the first accommodating recess 23 along with the soil. The first shaft portion 22 is cylindrical and is attached by being inserted into the mounting recess 37 of the support column 2. The press-fit of the first shaft portion 22 into the mounting recess 37 should preferably be such that it does not come loose during use, but can be removed later. Examples of materials for the first ornamental planter body 20 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. 【0037】 As shown in Figure 11, the second ornamental plant planter body 25 is a planter capable of accommodating at least the root portion of an ornamental plant and soil (soil is not required when used for hydroponics). The second ornamental plant planter body 25 is composed of a support 26 and a cylindrical body 27. The support 26 consists of a support portion 28 and a second shaft portion 29, and the support portion 28 consists of a disc portion 28a and a cylindrical portion 28b protruding from its periphery. The cylindrical body 27 is press-fitted into the cylindrical portion 28b and integrated with the support portion 28, and the disc portion 28a and the cylindrical body 27 form a second accommodating recess 30 capable of accommodating the root portion of a plant and soil. A second drainage hole 29a is formed in the center of the disc portion 28a, penetrating through the shaft portion 29 to its lower end surface. It is preferable that the press-fit of the second shaft portion 29 into the mounting recess 37 is such that it does not come loose during use, but can be removed later. Examples of materials for the second ornamental planter body 25 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. 【0038】 The third ornamental planter body 31 shown in Figure 12 is a planter capable of accommodating at least the root portion of an ornamental plant and soil (soil is not required when used for hydroponics). The third ornamental planter body 31 is a rod-shaped body with a rectangular cross-section (here, a square cross-section), and a third storage recess 32 is formed in the center of its upper surface. The bottom surface of the third storage recess 32 is conical and gradually approaches the center. A third drainage hole 33 is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the third ornamental planter body 31 and communicates with the center of the cone of the bottom surface of the third storage recess 32. The third ornamental planter body 31 is attached by directly inserting it into the connecting recess 5 of the base 1. It is preferable that the press-fit of the third ornamental planter body 31 into the connecting recess 5 be such that it does not come loose during use, but can be removed later. Examples of materials for the third ornamental planter body 31 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. 【0039】 The fourth ornamental planter body 34 shown in Figure 13 is a planter capable of accommodating at least the root portion of an ornamental plant and soil (soil is not required when used for hydroponics). The fourth ornamental planter body 34 is a rod-shaped body with a rectangular cross-section (here, a square cross-section) similar to the third ornamental planter body 31, but differs in that it is formed to be longer than the third ornamental planter body 31. It also differs in that the fourth drainage hole 36 is formed on the upper side of the fourth ornamental planter body 34, parallel to each other, so as to open 13 to the side of the fourth ornamental planter body 34, relative to the fourth storage recess 35 formed on the upper end surface. The fourth ornamental planter body 34 is a rod-shaped body with a rectangular cross-section (here, a square cross-section), with the fourth storage recess 35 formed in the center of the upper surface, and the bottom surface of the fourth storage recess 35 is conical and formed to gradually approach the center. The fourth drainage hole 36 is formed slightly above the point where the conical bottom shape of the fourth receiving recess 35 begins. Furthermore, it differs in that a mounting recess 37 is formed on the lower end surface. When the fourth ornamental plant planter body 34 is inserted into the connecting recess 5 of the base 1 in an inverted position, another ornamental plant planter body 3 can be attached to the mounting recess 37. The mounting recess 37 may also be sized to be usable as a receiving recess 19. Examples of materials for the fourth ornamental plant planter body 34 include metal, glass, wood, rubber, ceramics, and resin. 【0040】 The second ornamental planter body 25 shown in Figure 11 may have the configuration shown in Figure 14. That is, the ornamental planter body 100 shown in Figure 14 has a cylindrical body 101 similar to the cylindrical body 27, but the support 102 has a stepped shape on its upper surface, with a base portion 104 protruding from the disc portion 103. When the base portion 104 is inserted into the central hole of the cylindrical body 101, the outer surface of the disc portion 103 and the outer surface of the cylindrical body 101 are flush, and there are no irregularities like those in the second ornamental planter body 25 shown in Figure 11. The length of the cylindrical body 101 can be freely set according to the type of plant to be housed. In addition, a drainage hole 106 is formed in the shaft portion 105 provided in the center of the lower surface of the disc portion 103, penetrating from the upper surface of the disc portion 103. Furthermore, a conical recess 107 is provided on the upper surface of the disc portion 103 where the drainage holes 106 open, and four equally spaced drainage holes 106 are also formed around it, penetrating the lower surface of the disc portion 103. This ornamental planter body 100 has excellent drainage due to the five drainage holes 106. The drainage holes 106 are located in the center of the lower surface of the disc portion 103, as well as in the shaft portion 105 and in the four locations around the conical recess 107, but only one of them may be provided, and this can be changed as appropriate. 【0041】 The ornamental planter 1, having the above configuration, is assembled as follows and used, for example, by placing it in an aquarium to arrange ornamental plants. 【0042】 First, the bases 1 are connected and integrated using connecting pieces 11. In the example shown in Figure 1, as shown in Figure 4, the bases 1 are placed upside down with the bottom surface facing upward. Two first bases 4 are placed side by side, and the third base 10 and second base 9 are placed next to them, with their sides in contact with each other. In this state, cross-shaped grooves 8 are formed between the two first bases 4 and the third base 10, and between the third base 10 and the second base 9. The connecting pieces 11 are then pressed into these cross-shaped grooves 8. As a result, as shown in Figure 5, these four bases 1 are connected and integrated. At this time, since the thickness of the connecting pieces 11 is sufficiently smaller than the depth of the grooves 8, the communication state of the grooves 8 is not obstructed. Note that the type and number of bases 1 are not limited to the example in Figure 1, and can be freely selected and laid out according to the size of the installation site and the user's preference. 【0043】 Once the base 1 is connected and integrated, it is flipped over so that the top surface faces upward, and the top surface of each base 1 is covered with the cover 12. The support column 2 or the ornamental plant planter body 3 is inserted into the connecting recess 5 of the base 1 through the opening 13 exposed on the surface of the cover 12 and installed. In Figure 1, the third ornamental plant planter body 31 and the fourth ornamental plant planter body 34 are installed on the first base 4, the first support column 16 and the second support column 17 are installed on the second base 9, and the third ornamental plant planter, the fourth ornamental plant planter, and the first support column 16 are installed on the third base 10. The inclined second end face side of the first support column 16 is inserted into the connecting recess 5. In addition, the second ornamental plant planter body 25 is attached to the first support column 16 installed on the second base 9, and the first ornamental plant planter body 20 is attached to the first support column 16 installed on the third base 10. Furthermore, the first ornamental planter body 20 is attached to the second support column 17 installed on the second base 9. Note that the type and number of support columns 2 and ornamental planter bodies 3 are not limited to the example in Figure 1, and can be freely selected according to the user's preference. 【0044】 The ornamental planter completed in this way is used by inserting soil along with the roots of the ornamental plant into the receiving recess 19 of the ornamental planter body 3. In the ornamental planter, when water is supplied to the receiving recess 19, excess water is drained through drainage holes. Water discharged from the first drainage hole 24 of the first ornamental planter body 20 flows down from the bottom surface of the body 21 along the surface of the second support column 17 onto the cover 12 on the surface of the base 1. Water discharged from the second drainage hole 29a of the second ornamental planter body 25 flows directly into the groove 8 of the base 1. Water discharged from the third drainage hole 33 of the third ornamental planter body 31 flows down from its side onto the cover 12. Furthermore, water that flows down from the fourth drainage hole 36 of the fourth ornamental planter body 34 flows directly into the groove 8 of the base 1. In this way, excess water does not remain in the reservoir recess 19, preventing problems such as root rot in ornamental plants. 【0045】 The ornamental planter having the above configuration can produce the following effects. (1) By combining multiple base units 1, it is possible to create a suitable base unit according to the shape and size of the installation location. Furthermore, it is possible to create a suitable combination according to the user's preferences. (2) By attaching the support column 2 to the base 1, the display location of the ornamental plants can be freely set in three dimensions. Furthermore, by changing the tilt of the ornamental plant planter body 3 attached to the support column 2, the visibility of the ornamental plants can be improved, and the variety of display forms can be further increased. (3) Because it has a drainage structure, ornamental plants are less likely to suffer from root rot due to water retention. In particular, the second ornamental planter body 25 is superior in that it can directly guide the drainage to the groove 8 formed on the lower surface of the base 2. (4) When the ornamental plant planter body 3 is attached to the support pole 2, the work efficiency is improved when replacing or maintaining the plants by removing the ornamental plant planter body 3 from the support pole 2. (5) By constructing the ornamental planter body 3 with rod-shaped elements, it becomes possible to further diversify the variations in the display of ornamental plants. 【0046】 It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. 【0047】 Although not specifically mentioned in the above embodiment, since the entire structure is made of a translucent material, by installing lights at the installation location to illuminate it, not only the plants but also the overall appearance can be made to suit the user's preferences. By appropriately selecting or combining different lighting colors, it is possible to create an even wider variety of looks. 【0048】 In the above embodiment, the base 1 is a square in plan view, but it is not limited to that shape and can be freely designed in various shapes such as rectangles, triangles, circles, polygons, etc. 【0049】 In the above embodiment, the support column 2 has a square cross-section, but it is not limited to this and can have various cross-sectional shapes such as circles or polygons. Furthermore, it does not have to be a straight rod shape, but can have various forms such as being bent in the middle. 【0050】 In the above embodiment, the ornamental planter bodies 3 (first ornamental planter body 20, second ornamental planter body 25, third ornamental planter body 31, fourth ornamental planter body 34) are rod-shaped with a square cross-section, but their cross-sectional shape and length can be freely designed. For example, the cross-sectional shape can be a square, rectangle, triangle, polygon, etc. Furthermore, the shape and size of the receiving recess of the ornamental planter body 3, such as its depth, can also be freely designed. For example, the shape of the receiving recess can be a square, rectangle, triangle, polygon, etc. 【0051】 In the above embodiment, the cover 12 only has an opening 13 that matches the shape of the support column 2 and the ornamental plant planter body 3. However, a relief recess that widens the opening 13 may be formed in part and configured to communicate with the relief portion 6 of the connecting recess 5. This is preferable because it allows water flowing down the outer surface of the second support column 17 and the fourth ornamental plant planter body 34 to be guided from the relief recess to the relief portion 6 and then to the groove portion 8 of the base 1.
