DESCRIPTION

HIDDEN PLATE HOLDER

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the field of decoration and more specifically to the field of flowerpots and flowerpots, their plates, bases and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The usual way to place the pots and pots is to place them on top of a plate to collect the water that may come off due to the excess of irrigation and that comes out through the drainage hole or holes that all the pots have at their base, to avoid waterlogging that could damage the plant they contain. The dishes are uncovered and the pots and pots sit directly on them, producing two important drawbacks that are: the first is that, when the pot or pot are made of porous materials such as clay, clay or similar, the Moisture rises, as a result of capillarity, through the walls of the pot and produces mold stains with a very unpleasant visual effect. The second drawback is due to the fact that, since the plate is uncovered, the dead leaves that may fall from the plant, the insects that tend to abound in the humidity, as well as the deposited dust usually form a decomposing mass, an effect that will be seen increased by the action of sunlight. These two important problems being solved, the solution proposed in the present invention also solves the disadvantage that most flowerpots present and that is their instability, when their base has a smaller support surface than that presented by their Body.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a pot holder with a hidden plate for pots and the like that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible are conveniently collected in the final claims accompanying the present description.

The pot holder with a hidden plate for pots and the like supports them, allowing the excess water from irrigation to be poured onto a hidden and independent plate located inside, without the pot absorbing the moisture from the water contained in the plate. which would cause the walls of the pot to have moisture stains. The plate with the collected water is hidden and prevents contact with detached leaves, dust, insects, etc., as well as sunlight that would favor the decomposition of the water.

It is applicable for flowerpots, flowerpots, or the like.

To do this, the pot holder is made up of a base body that has a housing inside for the tray to collect the water from the drainage system. flowerpot. This internal housing has a circular or polygonal opening whose surface will always be smaller than the surface of the pot at its base so that, once the pot is placed, the opening is completely covered. The opening is located on the upper face of the pot holder, in such a way that the drainage hole or holes in the base of the pot are juxtaposed over the opening of the pot holder and to prevent the water from the pot drainage from seeping between it and the pot holder is placed an insulating ring, circular or pyramidal, contouring the entire edge of the opening, separated from it between 5 and 10 millimeters, forming a groove or gutter around the contour that will serve as accommodation for the putty, silicone or glue to attach the pot to the pot holder. In this way, the ring, which will be made of plastic material, will force the water that comes out through the drainage holes of the pot to circulate inside it and fall perpendicularly onto the collecting plate located below, inside the pot holder. The plastic ring has a flange on its contour with a width between 10 and 30 millimeters that will serve to glue the ring to the internal surface of the face where the opening is. This flange is located at a distance between 4 and 10 millimeters from the lower edge of the ring, allowing the ring to protrude to prevent water from running down the walls of the pot holder.

That is why the pot holder with hidden plate for pots and the like, presents a remarkable innovation with respect to current techniques.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help better understanding the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by figures in which, by way of illustration and non-limiting, the following has been represented.

FIGURE 1 shows a front-upper view of the flowerpot holder (1), where the opening (2) that presents its upper face is observed, circumscribed by the insulating ring (3), both separated by the channel (4) for the placement of the putty , silicone or any other insulating adhesive.

FIGURE 2 represents a sectional section of the flowerpot holder (1), where the cavity (5) for housing the collecting plate (6) is observed, as well as the opening (2) on its upper face with insulating ring (3), separated from the body of the pot holder (1) through the channel (4). The ring fixing flange (7) and its gutter projection (8) can also be seen. At the level of lines, a flowerpot (9) located on the flowerpot holder is represented.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is a pot holder with a hidden plate for pots and the like, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application, the characterizing details that make it possible are conveniently set out in the claims.

In one embodiment, the pot holder is formed by a base body (1) that can be built with different materials such as ceramic, resin, cement, wood, stone, marble, plastic. Its shape can be prismatic or cylindrical, with an internal cavity (5) to house a plate (6) that will collect the water coming from the drainage of the pot (9) located on it. The cavity (5) is open on its lower face to insert or remove the collecting plate. The pot holder has an opening (2) on its upper face where a plastic ring (3) is placed that will serve to make the sealed connection between the pot (9) and the pot holder (1), leaving the drainage hole or holes communicated of the pot with the inside of the plastic insulating ring (3) located in the opening of the pot holder (2), in such a way that the drainage water has to run through the inside of the plastic ring (3) and fall perpendicular to the plate ( 6) located below.
