Support Fixture

Abstract

To provide a support pole fixing tool that prevents a support pole set up on a planter from falling over. [Solution] A pair of fixing devices 9, each consisting of upper arm tubes 1 and 2 and a lower arm tube 3 that are fitted to both longitudinal ends of the planter and inserted into either side of a T-shaped connecting tube 6 and secured with locking screws using the same spacer 4, are connected to the T-shaped connecting tube 6 at both ends of the support rod fixing tube 7, and by slightly differentiating the lengths of the two upper arm tubes 1 and 2, the connection is made so that the support rod fixing tube 7 is not in the center of the planter.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a support rod that prevents plants planted in shallow planters from falling over. [Background technology]

[0002] Shallow planters available on the market require less soil, but they require a support rod to prevent them from tipping over when planting tall plants. Make sure to secure the support rod firmly in place. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-183041 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2010-263875 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] I want to plant tall plants in a commercially available shallow planter. To do this, I need to put up a support pole, but if I put up a support pole in a shallow planter with little soil, the plant will fall over easily. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A fitting made of vinyl pipe that can be attached to both horizontal ends of the planter with one touch is made, the left and right fittings are connected with a vinyl pipe, holes are made in the pipe at several places, commercially available support rods are passed through the holes, and the rods are inserted into the soil of the planter. Depending on how the part that fits into the planter is made, it may not stay in place properly, but to solve this, use the following method. (i) The length of the vinyl pipe connecting the part fitted to one side of the planter and the part fitted to the other side was made slightly shorter. (b) The parts that fit into both ends of the planter are slightly smaller than the width of the planter, but can be attached and removed with a single touch. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] The following effects are achieved in commercially available planters. 1. It is shallow so that support poles can be set up even with little soil. 2. Even tall plants can be planted because the support poles are sturdy. 3. Vine plants (cucumbers, etc.) are also fine. 4. Even with a support rod about 3m long, it will not fall over even during a typhoon. 5. You can grow tall plants even on an apartment balcony. 6. Since concrete is not made of iron, it will not rust even if it gets wet. 7.It is light and easy to carry. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a full perspective view of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (a) In this device, identical parts are placed on the left and right sides of the T-shaped connecting pipe (6), which is the part that holds the support rod up, and first, the upper arm pipes (1) and (2) of the left part are inserted into both sides of the T-shaped connecting pipe (6). (b) The upper arm tubes (1) and (2) are slightly different in length so that the support rod fixing tube (7) is not at the center of the planter. A pair of fixtures (9) are connected to both ends of the support rod fixing tube (7), and the fixtures (9) are characterized by being installed with their centers offset. (c) Generally, plants are planted in the center of the planter. If the plant overlaps the support rod fixing pipe (7), the roots of the plant may be damaged when the support rod is inserted into the soil. Therefore, the support rod fixing pipe (7) that runs across the width of the planter is positioned slightly off center. (d) The fixing device (9) is a set screw that fixes the upper arm tubes (1) and (2) and the lower arm tube (3) to the same spacer. (e) Once the left part is made, make the right part using the same method. (e) In order to connect and integrate the left and right parts of the same shape, a vinyl pipe (7) for fixing the support rods is glued in place, the dimensions of which match the horizontal length of the planter. (g) A hole (8) into which the support rod can be inserted is drilled in the support rod fixing tube (7). (H) Insert the parts into both ends of the planter with one touch. (i) The material used is vinyl pipe, except for the spacer and locking screw. The present invention is configured as described above. When using this device, first plant a plant in the planter, then fit the completed container into both ends of the planter with one touch so as not to damage the plant, insert a commercially available support rod into the hole (8) of the support rod fixing tube (7), and tie the rod with a vinyl string or the like to complete the device. When this invention was used, cucumbers and tomatoes could be grown to a height of 3m, and the plants were able to withstand the typhoon in September 2015. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] This support pole fixing device is characterized in that a pair of fixing devices (9) fitted to both longitudinal ends of the planter are connected at both ends of a support pole fixing tube (7), and the connecting part between the fixing devices (9) and the support pole fixing tube (7) is provided at a position shifted from the longitudinal center of the fixing devices (9).
