Description

Technical Field

[0003] , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a planter stand.

Background Art

[0002] A planter stand is a stand or frame for installing potted plants or planters, which enhances the ornamental value of plants and plays a role in arranging the growing environment. Generally, many of them have legs and are tall, which makes it easier to ensure sunlight and ventilation, but there are also low types that are placed directly on the ground. The materials include wood, metal, resin, etc., and can be selected according to the usage location and atmosphere. The applicant is unaware of the existence of prior art documents related to this background art.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, conventional planter stands mainly focus on the function as a pedestal or frame for placing plants, and the designs with excellent decorativeness are limited. In particular, there are few structures that can beautifully present vines and the like while naturally spreading them as the plants grow, and most of them only have a practical structure for simply supporting the pots. Therefore, there is a demand for a planter stand that has a visually impressive design that blends with plants in the gardening space, while also considering the ease of winding of climbing plants and the freedom of arrangement. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a planter stand that combines decorativeness and functionality and has a structure that can be beautifully developed according to the growth of plants.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] To achieve this object, the present invention is a planter stand for supporting plants, comprising a base and a plurality of support columns radially extending upward from the base or a member provided on the base. The base is configured to be able to place a pot or a planter.

[0005] A pot or planter 4 is placed on a base 1, and the plants that grow from it unfold, intertwining with the radially arranged support poles 3. This can give the impression of a peacock spreading its feathers. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a planter stand that combines decorative appeal and functionality, and has a structure that can be beautifully developed according to the growth of the plants. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a front view of a planter stand, which is an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a plan view of the base of the planter stand shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows the usage status of the planter stand. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a magnified view showing the upper part of the central support column. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0009] Figure 1 is a front view of a planter stand 10, which is an embodiment of the present invention. The planter stand 10 comprises a base 1, an arch 2, and a support column 3, and can support ornamental plants in a three-dimensional and decorative manner.

[0010] Figure 2 is a plan view of the base 1 of the planter stand 10 shown in Figure 1. Referring to Figure 2, the base 1 has a "day" - shaped frame structure made of steel pipe material, and consists of two support bars 1a, 1a arranged along the longitudinal direction and a center beam 1b provided parallel between them. Hinge parts 1c (rotating parts) are provided at the connection parts between both ends of the support bars 1a, 1a and the center beam 1b, and the support bars 1a, 1a are configured to be rotatable toward the center beam 1b side. With this configuration, the base 1 is foldable, facilitating packing and storage.

[0011] Referring to Figure 1 again, above the base 1, that is, vertically above the center beam 1b, small arches 2a and large arches 2b are fixed in a semi - circular curve, and together they are regarded as the arch 2. Between these arches 2a, 2b, nine fixing pipes 2c arranged radially are firmly connected by welding or the like, and a support column 3 described later can be detachably inserted into each fixing pipe 2c. With this detachable structure, the support column 3 can be removed as needed, enabling the whole to be compactly assembled during packing before sale or storage after use. This improves transportability, storage property, and packing property.

[0012] The support column 3 is an elongated rod - shaped member formed of steel pipe material and is erected radially at a predetermined angle. At least one locking part 3a protruding in the lateral direction is provided in the middle part of the longitudinal direction of the support column 3, whereby vines of climbing plants or lightweight ornaments can be hung and held. The locking part 3a is composed of a rod - shaped member or a hook that extends short in a direction substantially orthogonal to the outer periphery of the support column 3, supporting the natural growth direction of the plant and enhancing the decorative effect. In addition, a decorative part 3b for enhancing the design may be provided at the upper end of the support column 3.

[0013] In this embodiment, the arch 2 and the support columns 3 are aligned on a single virtual plane extending vertically from the center beam 1b, and the entire structure has a planar form with no depth other than thickness when viewed from the side. This arrangement ensures a neat appearance and aesthetic appeal while accommodating narrow installation spaces. However, the arrangement of the support columns 3 is not limited to this planar structure; the image when viewed from the front should be a radial image resembling a peacock spreading its feathers.

[0014] Figure 3 shows the planter stand 10 in use. As shown in the figure, a pot or planter 4 is placed on the base 1, and climbing plants growing from it unfold, intertwining with the radially arranged support poles 3. This creates an impression reminiscent of a peacock spreading its feathers, achieving a three-dimensional and visually beautiful effect.

[0015] Thus, the planter stand 10 according to this embodiment is extremely useful as a gardening stand structure that combines functionality, ease of assembly, and aesthetic appeal.

[0016] Figure 4 is an enlarged view showing the upper part of the central support column 3 among the nine support columns 3. Figure 4 shows the left side view. As shown in Figure 4, a hook 3c may be fixed to the upper part of the central support column 3. This hook 3c allows for the addition of decorative elements, such as hanging a sign that says "Welcome." Furthermore, the shape of the hook 3c is an S-shaped hook, which can represent a peacock's head. This further enhances the three-dimensional and visually appealing effect of the peacock.

[0017] Herein, the scope of the present invention is limited to the scope of the invention described in the claims and is not limited to the embodiments described above. Within the scope of the invention described in the claims, dimensions, arrangement, design, materials, construction methods, etc., are not limited to the embodiments described above. The support column 3 may extend radially directly from the base 1. Furthermore, the planter stand of the present invention can be used for plants other than climbing plants. [Explanation of Symbols]
