JPH04229111A - Plant vegetational frame having internally installed illumination device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To illuminate sidewalks or parks and enable admiration of lianas elegant at night by forming a plant vegetational frame composed of a hollow frame unit, installing an illuminating device in the interior thereof and twining the lianas around rods forming the frame. CONSTITUTION:The whole spherical frame 1 is obtained by arranging two hemispherical frames 2 and 3 in nearly a vertical symmetrical form, radially arranging circular arc rods 4, securing each one end of the rods 4 on the periphery of a circular arc cap 5 by welding, installing the other end in a ring flange 6 by welding, forming one 2 of the hemispherical frames, providing the other hemispherical frame 3 with a structure much the same as that of the aforementioned hemispherical frame 2, securing the ends of rods 8 without securing the ring flange 7 to a supporting pipe 10, terminating and attaching the rods 8 by welding so as to surround an illuminating device 9 at an interval in the spherical frame 1. The resultant frame is installed in parks, sidewalks, etc., to carry out planned and steric vegetation. Harmonization with plants and response to admiration can simultaneously be carried out.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plant/vegetation frame installed in a park or on a sidewalk for use in greening, and a plant/vegetation frame provided with a lighting device inside the frame.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, many plants have been planted in parks, sidewalks, etc., and there are few vegetation frames for planting these plants, such as vines, in a fixed and regular manner for greening the environment. , there are few that can be appreciated in harmony with the urban environment. In addition, various attempts have been made to green parks and sidewalks by planting various types of plants, and only street lights have been installed to provide nighttime illumination.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention is an object of the present invention, which is installed in parks, sidewalks, etc. to create a planned three-dimensional vegetation.
By emitting illumination from inside the three-dimensional structure covered with vegetation, it is possible to harmonize with the plants planted in the park, etc., and respond to the appreciation.It is also a lighting device to improve the nighttime scenery of the park, etc. and to improve the safety of walking. The point is to provide an interior plant vegetation frame.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention constitutes a plant vegetation frame with a hollow frame body formed by arranging arc-shaped or linear metal rods so that, for example, vine plants can be entwined therein. , a lighting device is provided within the plant/vegetation frame, and the plant/vegetation frame is installed in a park, a sidewalk, or the like.

[0005]

[Embodiment] The embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a spherical plant/vegetation frame and a lighting device provided within the plant/vegetation frame. 3 are arranged approximately vertically symmetrically, and one hemispherical frame 2 is formed by radially arranging arc-shaped rods 4 made of, for example, iron pipes coated with anti-rust coating. It is fixed around the cap 5 by welding, and the other end of each rod is attached to a ring-shaped flange 6 by welding. The other hemispherical frame 3 has almost the same structure as the one hemispherical frame 2, but the end of the rod 8 to which the ring-shaped flange 7 is not fixed is attached to the support pipe 1.
It is fixed and terminated by welding to 0. The flanges 6 and 7 of the hemispherical frames 2 and 3 are connected with bolts and nuts 11 to form a spherical frame 1 as a whole. As will be described later, the illumination device 9 is attached to surround the illumination device 9 at intervals within the spherical frame 1.

The lighting device 9 is covered with a hood 12 and attached to a waterproof socket. The socket is attached to the top of a support pipe 10 that houses the power cord inside. In the middle of the support pipe 10, the other end of the arc-shaped rod 8 forming the other hemispherical frame 3 is fixed around the support pipe by welding. The support pipe 10 may be a single iron pipe coated with anti-rust coating, or if necessary, it may be separated near the welded part and fitted with bolts so that both can be fitted.・
It may be fixed with a nut. Reference numeral 13 denotes a protection pipe that accommodates an external power cord, and the external power cord is connected to a power cord of a lighting device housed inside the support. The pillar is, for example, a concrete mounting base 1.
4 and installed in a place 15 where vine plants are planted, such as a park or sidewalk, and the vine plants are entwined with the rods of the spherical frame.

[0007] In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the lighting device is tangled with plant vines, it may happen that the lighting device breaks down and needs to be replaced. In this case, some of the rods 4 forming the one hemispherical frame 2 located on the upper side are attached to the flange 6 and the circular cap 5 without welding so that the hood 12 and the lighting device 9 can be taken in and out. Attach so that it can be fitted and removed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a hemispherical frame is placed over a lighting device 9 installed on the ground, and the hemispherical frame is used as a greening cage. In this embodiment, a removable cap 17 is provided on a ring 16 to which one end of the arc-shaped rod 4 is welded, and the other end of the arc-shaped rod is fixed by welding to a circular flange 18, so that the entire radial shape Arrange in. Then, a hemispherical frame is placed over the lighting device 9 so that the circular flange 18 is in contact with the ground.

The embodiment shown in FIG.
Arc-shaped rods 21 and 22 of different lengths are welded to 9 and 20 at intervals so as to straddle them, and both flanges are fixed with bolts and nuts to form a spheroidal frame as a whole. be. Although several examples of the shape of the plant vegetation frame have been described above, the shape is not limited to these shapes, and the present invention may be implemented by arranging linear rods to form a polyhedral hollow frame such as a pyramid or a cube. It is also possible.

0010

[Effects of the Invention] By installing the plant at a relatively low height in parks, sidewalks, etc., the present invention allows for the attractive viewing of vine plants at night. Furthermore, the boundary between the road and the sidewalk can be distinguished by the illumination emitted from inside the spherical frame, which has the effect of promoting safety for pedestrians and alerting drivers.
