Description

modular flower pots

[0001] The present invention relates to a modular flower pot, and more particularly, to a modular flower pot that can be arranged by separably combining various shapes.

[0002] In ordinary homes, offices, and public places, pots with plants are often placed for ornamental purposes, and these pots are placed with consideration for their role as interior decoration as well as air purification.

[0003] Depending on where these flower pots are placed, the type of plants and the size of the flower pot can be determined accordingly.

[0004] In most cases, flower pots are cylindrical or cylindrical in shape with an open top, and are made of materials such as plastic, ceramic, and metal.

[0005] These flower pots are placed in consideration of the size and type of the plants and flower pots depending on the placement location. At this time, the flower pots are placed independently, or two or more are placed adjacent to each other or spaced apart.

[0006] Therefore, in the past, flower pots had to be placed in a monotonous manner due to limitations such as being unable to be placed in a fixed position adjacent to another flower pot or in a stacked manner.

[0007] For example, to create vertical greenery with flower pots outdoors, you need a frame for installing the flower pots and anchor bolts to secure them to the wall. To install them indoors, you need to attach the wall greening device directly to the indoor wall using screws or other separate attachments. However, installing flower pots like this is very difficult to construct and can damage the wall. In addition, since they are installed in a fixed form, maintenance is difficult and takes a lot of time.

[0008] The present invention has been proposed to solve the conventional problems as described above, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular flower pot in which a plurality of flower pots can be detachably combined and arranged in various shapes.

[0009] The modular flowerpot proposed by the present invention comprises: a flowerpot in which a plant is planted; a receiving portion formed with an open upper surface to receive the flowerpot; and a coupling means configured to detachably connect the receiving portion containing the flowerpot to another receiving portion.

[0010] The above flowerpot is configured such that the upper part is formed as a support part that is bent and extended outward so that the flowerpot can be accommodated while being supported by the receiving part, and the support part and the receiving part formed at the upper part of the flowerpot are configured such that corresponding joining grooves and joining protrusions are respectively formed on the bottom surface so that the flowerpots can be arranged in a stacked manner.

[0011] The above support portion has an uneven surface at the end, the flower pot has a slope that gradually narrows from the top to the bottom, and a drainage hole and moisture absorption hole are formed on the bottom surface of the flower pot.

[0012] A drain hole is formed on the bottom surface of the portion adjacent to the connecting projection of the above-mentioned receiving portion, and a plurality of ventilation holes are formed along the circumference of the receiving portion to allow air to circulate inside.

[0013] The above-mentioned coupling means is formed along the outer circumferential surface of the receiving portion and is configured to be detachably coupled to another receiving portion.

[0014] The modular flowerpot according to the present invention is formed with a connecting means having a protruding surface that allows the outer peripheral surface of the receiving portion in which the flowerpot is received to be detachably connected to each other, so that a plurality of flowerpots can be connected in a row or arranged in a rectangular shape when viewed from a plan view.

[0015] In addition, corresponding joining grooves and joining protrusions are formed on the upper surface of the flower pot and the bottom surface of the receiving portion, respectively, so that the flower pots can be installed by joining them in a layered manner.

[0016] Accordingly, flower pots can be arranged in various structures to suit the environment of the installation site without any separate parts.

[0027] The above flower pot (2) and receiving portion (4) have a rectangular cross-section, and the flower pot (2) is formed with a slope (6) that gradually narrows from the top to the bottom.

[0028] The flower pot (2) is formed with an open upper surface and its upper end is bent outward to form an extended support portion (8). This support portion (8) is hung on the upper end of the receiving portion (4) so ​​that the flower pot (2) can be supported while being received in the receiving portion (4). In addition, the supporting portion (8) has a concave surface (10) formed around the end surface.

[0029] This flower pot (2) has a number of drainage holes (12) formed on the bottom surface. When the flower pot (2) is placed so that the lower part is submerged in the water receiving part, the drainage holes (12) can be used to supply moisture to the soil inside the flower pot (2) by inserting a moisture absorbent wick into the drainage holes (12).

[0030] In addition, a matching joining groove (14) and a joining protrusion (16) are formed on the upper surface of the flower pot (2) and the bottom surface of the receiving portion (4), respectively, so that another modular flower pot identical to this can be assembled and installed in a stacked manner on the upper surface of a modular flower pot made of a flower pot (2) received in the receiving portion (4).
