Description

DESCRIPTION

POT FOR VERTICAL GARDEN

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a vertical garden pot, with a simple and economical configuration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, the creation of vertical gardens involves the installation of profiles along the vertical of the façade, in steel or aluminum, where the garden itself is hung, which includes waterproofing sheets, felt substrates and an installation of irrigation.

These types of installations, appropriate for large gardens, are very cumbersome, too cumbersome, to create smaller gardens, and it is difficult to carry out maintenance work on them, which is solved with the pot of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The vertical garden pot of the invention comprises:

-a receiving box, which comprises a front face for inserting the plants, a rear face with anchoring means, and a perimeter envelope with service openings;

-where the front face of the box is closed by a retaining matrix, which comprises a closed body with self-closing openings for inserting the plants, and -where the service openings comprise: a filling opening, located in the front part top of the box; an irrigation opening, located in the upper rear part of the box, and drainage openings, located in the lower part of the box (in the lower part of its lateral faces, or in its lower face);

-comprising in the rear interior part of the box (ideally in the vertical of the irrigation opening) an absorbent body, understanding as an absorbent body any body capable of to retain moisture, such as, but not limited to, polyurethane foam, and in the front part of the box a space for filling with substrate for plants.

In this way, the box with the plants incorporated into it can be easily hung from any facade, leaving only its flowering visible, being easy to implement for small gardens, with the advantage that it is modular and scalable, facilitating any task. of installation or maintenance, keeping the plants fixed and in contact with the substrate, which in turn remains suitably moistened thanks to the soaking of the absorbent body due to the entry of water through the irrigation opening of each pot, and with the additional advantage that There is no direct contact between the wet area and the façade, protecting it, and not requiring waterproofing elements.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The vertical garden pot of the invention comprises (see figs. 1, 2 and 4):

-a receiving box (2), which comprises a front face (20) for insertion of the plants (3), a rear face (21) with anchoring means, and a perimeter envelope (22) with service openings;

-where the front face (20) of the box is closed by a retaining matrix (4), which comprises a closed body with self-closing openings (40) for insertion of the plants (3), and

-where the service openings comprise: a filling opening (5), located in the upper front part of the box (2); an irrigation opening (6), located in the upper rear part of the box (2), and drainage openings (7), located in the lower part of the box, - comprising (see fig. 4) in the rear interior of the box (2) an absorbent body (8), and in the front part of the box a space (9) for filling with substrate for the plants (3).

Preferably, the box (2) has a lying prismatic shape with straight sides (for example, a prism shape with a quadrangular base), which allows multiple boxes to be hung with their adjacent sides to form a larger vertical garden, with the boxes being hidden by contact with each other and by the plants themselves.

Likewise, it is preferred that the absorbent body (8) is made of polyurethane foam, with a functionality of water retention and constant humidity, thus avoiding repeated irrigation and helping the optimal growth of the plants.

For its part, the retaining matrix (4) is ideally made of waterproof and flexible material (preferably EPDM, synthetic rubber), and where the self-closing openings (40) are implemented through radially shaped notches (41), for example in the shape of an of the plant due to its inertia and weight, as seen in figs. 3 and 4.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the box (2) comprises a perimeter envelope (22) of polyethylene since it is a waterproof material, with the necessary load-bearing capacity, and with good resistance to external agents, which is closed by its rear part by the absorbent body (8) and on the front part by the retaining matrix (4), so it is not necessary to have closure pieces in these polyethylene parts.

As for the anchoring means (see figs. 2 and 4), they preferably comprise pieces (10) fixable to the façade (100) and provided with holes (11) with a lower slotted extension (12) of a smaller width than its diameter, comprising screws (13) fixed to the rear face (21) of the box (2) whose head (13a) has a smaller diameter than the holes (11) and greater than the width of the slotted extensions (12), and whose tip (13b) has a diameter smaller than the width of the slotted extensions (12). In this way, the pieces are left fixed on the façade and the boxes are hung detachably on them by simply inserting the heads of the screws into the holes and letting the assembly hang on the slotted extensions.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as the way it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions previously indicated and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
