Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable plant cultivator utilizing a takeout container, etc., and more specifically, to a non-woven fabric pot in which plants such as flowers, vegetables, trees (including companion plants, wellness plants, therapeutic plants, etc.) or plant seeds are planted, which is stored in a portable container such as a takeout container, allowing one to carry it around or keep it nearby and manage it while pouring special attention and affection into it, thereby enabling one to enjoy the sentiment of nature along with emotional stability. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, plants take root in fixed soil and grow, so they are planted in soil or in pots filled with potting soil to be kept indoors or in gardens for ornamental purposes; however, they have the disadvantage of not being easy to carry.

[0003] Meanwhile, as companion plants are known to offer not only ornamental and air-purifying functions but also emotional benefits similar to those of pets—such as dementia prevention and emotional stability—simply by growing them, the number of people raising companion plants is on the rise. However, these plants require careful management, such as frequently adjusting soil moisture, growing temperature, and the degree of photosynthesis according to their growth conditions.

[0004] The aforementioned term 'companion plant' is a neologism referring to a plant kept close and cared for for emotional support, and interest in it is growing in tandem with the entry into an aging society and the increase in single-person households. Furthermore, while companion plants have the advantages of being cultivated in a smaller area and incurring lower initial and maintenance costs compared to pets, allowing them to become more closely integrated into the grower's living and activity spaces, the reality is that they lack the emotional connection with the human grower that pets provide. For instance, pets not only react to human speech or actions but also allow humans to monitor their condition through hearing or sight, enabling mutual emotional connection through corresponding responses.

[0005] However, while companion plants can provide a sense of psychological stability to the grower, there were several issues, including the inability to expect the emotional connection one can anticipate from pets—as they respond according to the grower's emotional state—and the difficulty of keeping them close and managing them.

[0039] A compress or tag (16) is attached to the end of the handle strap (7) so that it can be easily grasped with a finger.

[0040] It is desirable that the handle strap (7) and tag (16) be given sufficient strength to support the total weight of the non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) and the plant (9).

[0041] It may further include a label portion (17) attached to the outer surface of the above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8) or formed integrally.

[0042] The above label portion (17) may be configured such that a separate label with a logo, text and / or figure, or photograph printed on it is fixed by means of sewing or adhesive, or by heat pressing it onto a non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) in an intaglio, embossed, or a combination of intaglio and embossed forms to display the logo, text and / or figure, or photograph, and through the above label portion (34), advertising and promotional effects through the logo, text and / or figure, or photograph can be obtained.

[0043] The lid (5) is configured such that a ventilation hole (4) of a predetermined inner diameter is formed in the central part to allow sufficient external air to circulate, thereby maintaining the growth of a plant (9) or plant seed (10).

[0044] The lid (5) is configured with an upward curved portion (18) to additionally form a volume of space where a plant (9) can naturally grow or develop.

[0045] The above curved portion (18) may be semicircular, semi-elliptical, semi-spiral, or semi-circular.

[0046] When the lid (5) is placed upside down on the opening (3) or combined as shown in Fig. 6, the outer surface of the curved portion (18) is configured to be placed across the edge portion (13), thereby allowing a non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) to be placed on the curved portion (18) so that the plant (9) can come into contact with a large amount of air.

[0047] The above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8) forms an upwardly open cultivation room (8a) by fixing the bottom (19) and side wall (20) with thread (21) or wire, or by heat bonding, and of course, the bottom (19) and side wall (20) can be manufactured as a single integrated unit.

[0048] The above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8) has the characteristic of being flexible and maintaining its shape like a general fiber product, and also has excellent air circulation and drainage due to the numerous pores.

[0049] In the cultivation chamber (8a) of the above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8), sandy soil (22) of a predetermined height or volume is introduced, and above it, soil (23) of a predetermined height or volume is introduced, and above it, culture soil (24) of a predetermined height or volume is introduced, and on the upper surface of the culture soil (24), a cover (25) is positioned to prevent the culture soil (24) from escaping.

[0050] The above cover (25) prevents the culture soil (24) from easily detaching due to the action of the cover (25) of a predetermined thickness covering the upper surface of the culture soil (24), even if the portable plant cultivator (1) is severely tilted or falls due to external impact or a fall.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 4, the above cover (25) is made of a porous material such as a sponge, thick non-woven fabric, or urethane foam with a predetermined thickness, so that water can easily pass through when supplying water to the cultivation room (8a) and watering is done well, and water is supplied smoothly to the cultivation soil (24). The above cover (25) is made of a resin-based material, so decay and contamination are prevented and cleaning is also easy.

[0052] The above cover (25) is configured to be separated into left and right sides as shown in FIG. 4, and a semicircular through hole (26) is formed in the center of the straight section so that when the left and right covers (25) are brought into contact, a circular through hole is formed in the center, allowing the plant (9) to be easily planted in the culture soil (24), and also, the stem part of the plant (9) passes through the through hole (26) and grows.

[0053] The above plants (9) are ornamental plants grown for their fruit, such as the money plant, plants with excellent interior design effects, plants that purify the air, aromatherapy plants that treat stress and diseases with the scent emitted from the plants, well-being plants of a new lifestyle that organically combines body and mind to lead a rich and beautiful life, aromatherapy-light therapy plants that stabilize the mind and body, chrysanthemums, herbs, parsley, lavender, basil, thyme, rosemary, cockscomb, honeysuckle, goldenrod, magnolia buds, pagoda tree buds, chrysanthemums, self-heal, and kava.

[0054] FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of another cover (31) formed as an integral part of the above cover. A hole (32) is formed in the center of the circular cover (31) and is configured to be connected and closed with a stopper (33) as in FIG. 9. This delays or blocks the supply of moisture and air to the plant seeds (10), thereby delaying the germination time of the plant seeds (10) sown in the cultivation soil (24). Additionally, as in FIG. 10, the stopper (33) is separated to open the hole (32). This allows sufficient moisture to be supplied to the plant seeds (10) sown in the cultivation soil (24) through the ventilation hole (4) or the opening (3) and the hole (32), and allows air to circulate naturally, thereby allowing the germination time of the plant seeds (10) to be accelerated. This has the advantage of allowing the timing of delivery of the portable plant cultivator (1) of the present invention to the consumer to be controlled.

[0055] FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of a holder (28) illustrated as an example of the present invention, in which an insertion part (27) is formed that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom to have the same shape and form as the container body (2) and is formed to have a predetermined height, thereby being exemplified so that it can be placed over the outer surface of the body (2) of the portable plant cultivator (1) of the present invention as in FIG. 7 to reinforce the body (2) and to hold and carry it more stably.

[0056] A labeling section (29) is provided on the surface of the above holder (28) so that quotes, product names, handling instructions, guides, advertisements, etc. including shapes and / or characters can be written, and advertising and promotional effects can be expected.

[0058] The main body (2) and lid (5) of the portable plant cultivator (1) of the present invention may include a takeout container that can hold beverages such as coffee or food for takeout, or may be recyclable.

[0059] The above-mentioned takeout container is a single-use item that is discarded after consuming a beverage or food. In this invention, by actively utilizing this, resource waste is prevented and environmental pollution in the surrounding area is prevented.

[0060] The present invention may be provided to a consumer in a state where a plant (9) is planted as in FIG. 1 and 2, or in a state where a plant seed (10) is planted in a culture medium (24) as in FIG. 9 (sowing). That is, as in FIG. 9, the plant seed (10) is planted in the culture medium (24) but is provided to the consumer in a dormant state, and the consumer may control the germination time of the plant seed (10) to some extent by providing a germination environment such as watering and supplying air to the dormant plant seed (10).

[0061] The above sandy soil (22) is soil that has almost no organic matter and is not exposed to pests and diseases. Its large particles help with drainage, but it does not absorb water for very long. In addition to drainage, it is spread to a certain height on the bottom surface of a non-woven fabric pot (8) for aeration, and then soil (23) and / or cultivation soil (24) can be placed on top of it.

[0062] The above-mentioned weathered granite (22) is a soil granule with a granular structure formed by the corrosion or abrasion of granite, and is free of foreign substances and germs, has excellent drainage capacity and low contamination, and has basic characteristics such as increased adsorption capacity with soil or soil, is sterile, has good physicochemical properties, does not adsorb or leach inorganic nutrients, is inexpensive, and does not cause environmental pollution, and may be a material for cultivating horticultural crops, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] The above soil (23) improves moisture retention, aeration, drainage, acidity, etc., when cultivating plants (9), thereby optimizing the cultivation efficiency of plants (9).

[0064] The above soil (23) is a material that has improved drainage and maintains a sterile state so that moisture does not stay in the roots of the plant (9) for a long time, and is equipped with both water absorption and breathability, by mixing at least one of processed perlite, eslite, charcoal, red clay, wild herbs, and green clay according to the characteristics of the plant (9).

[0065] The above perlite is also called peat and is an artificial soil made by heating and expanding minerals such as obsidian, perlite, and sulfur at a temperature of over 1,000 degrees. It has countless pores that aid in drainage, is lightweight, has good absorbency, moisture retention, and aeration, is sterile soil, and is strongly acidic.

[0066] The above S-lite is a porous artificial soil that has water retention and drainage, and is a ceramic soil with excellent pH, aeration, water retention, and drainage, which is a main raw material of zeolite.

[0067] The above-mentioned charcoal is made by heating and burning rice husks at a high temperature of over 300 degrees. It is more than 80% carbonaceous and has pores, so it is free from pests and diseases and has excellent aeration and water retention properties. When used together with soil mixing, it prevents the potting soil from hardening.

[0068] The aforementioned red clay soil is formed from accumulated volcanic ash; it contains iron, giving it a reddish color, and is a soil equipped with the aeration, drainage, and water retention properties necessary for root growth.

[0069] The above wild herb is a soil with excellent water retention, aeration, and drainage, and contains zeolite to neutralize and absorb gases generated inside the pot.

[0070] The aforementioned green soil is a volcanic ejecta that is lightweight and porous, and has excellent moisture retention and water retention capabilities, which prevents plant roots from drying out easily.

[0071] In the present invention, the above soil (23) is not strictly necessary and can be used or omitted as needed.

[0072] The above-mentioned cultivation soil (24) can be an example of soil for growing horticultural crops, soil for flowerpots, or soil from a field or hill.

[0073] A small amount of rice bran may be mixed into the above-mentioned culture medium (24). The above-mentioned rice bran is a crushed mixture of the outer husk and germ that is produced when brown rice is milled into white rice. It is rich in fat and protein and contains various nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, iron, phosphorus, and minerals. The culture medium (24) becomes fertile due to the fertilizer effect of these nutrients. Of course, liquid or powdered nutrients may be supplied separately.

[0074] The above non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) is composed of non-woven fabric and preferably has the same shape as the main body (2) so that it can be stored and maintained in a state spanning the middle or lower part of the space (6) of the main body (2), and the density of the non-woven fabric may be 50 to 250 g / m² and the thickness may be 0.3 to 5 mm.

[0075] In the present invention, the diameter and height of the non-woven fabric pot (8) in which the plant (9) is planted are configured to be small, such that the plant (9) growing in the non-woven fabric pot (8) can be cultivated as a dwarf plant (9) in which the entire planar area or outer diameter, including the stem, branches, leaves, and flowers, is small.

[0076] The bottom (19) and side wall (20) of the above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8) may be nonwoven fabric of the same weight, but may be nonwoven fabric of different types. For example, in the case of the bottom (19) which receives a lot of direct load and drains more water, the weight of the nonwoven fabric may be made heavier or a thick nonwoven fabric may be used, and in the case of the side wall (20) which receives a lot of lateral load (lateral pressure), the weight of the nonwoven fabric may be made lighter or a thin nonwoven fabric may be used.

[0077] Of course, the size, shape, color (black, pink, green, etc.) and form of the above nonwoven fabric flowerpot (8) can be varied and modified as much as possible by taking into account the size and form of the main body (2).

[0078] The above non-woven fabric may be a durable spunbond non-woven fabric in which moisture and air naturally circulate while forming countless pores by arranging fine threads, which are electrospun or extruded without undergoing a weaving process, in parallel or in an irregular direction (web form) and heat-pressing them at predetermined intervals using an embossing roller.

[0079] The above nonwoven fabric allows for ventilation and drainage, thereby preventing the fine roots of the plant (9) from passing through, which inhibits the excessive growth of the plant (9) roots. Additionally, by preventing the excessive growth of the plant (9), it is cultivated into a small dwarf plant that can be carried and viewed as a companion plant.

[0080] The main root and fine roots of the above plant (9) are grown by taking root in the culture soil (24) and are stably supported in the non-woven fabric pot (8).

[0081] Depending on the type of plant (9), the tip of the fine root may partially penetrate into the micropores (pores) of the nonwoven fabric pot (8) and take root, thereby stably supporting the main root.

[0082] If the thickness of the nonwoven fabric is thicker than necessary, moisture evaporation does not occur well due to insufficient air permeability, so the main roots and fine roots of the plant (9) may rot due to excessive moisture in the growing medium (24), and conversely, if the thickness of the nonwoven fabric is too thin, it is difficult to maintain the shape of the nonwoven fabric pot (8) or maintain proper moisture, so the plant (9) may suffer growth damage due to drought.

[0083] The present invention is not only economical by using a non-woven fabric flowerpot (8), but also allows for easy watering and maintenance by using a handle strap (7) configured on one side of the upper part as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 to easily insert into or pull out the space (6) of the main body (2), and can also be configured so that the plant (9) can perform more effective photosynthesis by placing it on the curved part (18) of the lid (5) which is inverted and connected to the opening (3) of the main body (2) as shown in FIG. 6.

[0084] Of course, if you want to supply a large amount of water, you can use the handle strap (7) to immerse the non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) in water for a predetermined amount of time to supply a large amount of water at once, and then put it into the space (6) to carry it.

[0085] The nonwoven fabric pot (8) of the present invention is easy to transplant plants (9), is lighter and thinner than a standard pot, takes up less space, and has numerous pores formed so that it has excellent ventilation and drainage, making it suitable for dwarf cultivation of plants (9), and is also non-toxic, and has an appropriate air permeability and moisture permeability, and has good weather resistance, so that the plants (9) grow stronger and have better fruiting.

[0086] The above nonwoven fabric prevents excessive evaporation of water supplied to the plant (9) or excessive moisture, thereby maintaining appropriate moisture and optimizing the growth of the plant (9).

[0087] The above non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) is made of non-woven fabric, which provides an eco-friendly and breathable function, and has advantages such as being able to be disposed of separately and incinerated, and not breaking even if knocked over or dropped.

[0088] During the cultivation period of the above plant (9), fertilizer or nutrients may be added, and disease or pest control and / or pesticide disinfection may be performed.

[0089] The above nonwoven fabric allows for ventilation and drainage, thereby preventing the main roots of the plant (9) from escaping outwards. Due to the ventilation function, the nonwoven fabric pot (8) breathes, and a large amount of air is supplied to the growing soil (24) and the fine roots of the plant (9), so the development of the main roots and fine roots is also improved.

[0090] In the present invention, water (re-water) (30) supplied to the plant (9) or non-woven fabric pot (8) is absorbed into the cultivation soil (24) to aid in the growth of the plant (9), and as it is retained in the soil (23) and discharged, the appropriate moisture level of the cultivation soil (24) is maintained, and the remaining water passes through the sandy soil (44) and falls to the bottom of the non-woven fabric pot (8) and accumulates on the bottom (11) of the main body (2).

[0091] The water (30) accumulated on the bottom (11) of the main body (2) can be easily removed by separating the lid (5) and the non-woven fabric flowerpot (8) from the main body (2) and then pouring it out.
