Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a rotary planter basket in which the planter basket can be rotated from a horizontal state to a state rotated 180 degrees.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas) Conventionally, when planting flowers or plants in a planter, the planter was placed horizontally and the flowers were grown straight upwards. was. This arrangement has the disadvantage that viewing angles are limited. In other words, although it looks good from diagonally above, you cannot see the flowers growing there from the bottom of the planter.

In view of this point, the purpose of the present invention is to realize a rotary planter basket in which the installation angle of the planter can be changed.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention allows the support angle of the planter basket by the support arm that supports the planter basket body to be changed. For example, a support arm of a basket is rotatably connected to the basket body, and a fixing member allows the support arm to be fixed to the basket at a fixed angular position. By doing this, the basket can support the flowers etc. being grown so that they are tilted at a certain angle from the vertical direction. As a result, it becomes possible to appreciate the flowers growing inside the basket even from a position below the basket.

In addition, if you use ordinary potting soil, sand, or gravel to grow flowers in order to tilt the planter basket in this way, the weight will be large, and moreover, when you tilt the planter basket too much, the materials will fall out of the planter basket. There is a risk of it getting lost. Therefore, if plants are grown using a spongy plant growing mat made of plastic, etc., which the applicant proposed earlier, it will be lighter and will not spill out like potting soil. Therefore, it is highly preferable to place this in the planter basket of the present invention.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the rotary planter basket of this example. As shown in the figure, the planter basket 1 of this example is comprised of a rectangular parallelepiped planter basket main body 2 and a basket arm 5 supporting the main body 2 at both left and right end surfaces 3 and 4.
The basket main body 2 has an open upper side, and is adapted to hold a cultivation box in which flowers or the like are grown. The basket arm 5 has rotating parts 6 and 7 rotatably connected to both end surfaces 3 and 4 of the basket body 2, and a "co" connected to these parts.
It is composed of an arm body 8 having a shape. The tips of the rotating parts 6 and 7 are inserted into the cylindrical parts 9 and 10 on the side of the arm body 8, and are pulled out by a predetermined amount by fixing screws 11 and 12. It can be fixed in any condition.

The arm body 8 also has a pair of fixing brackets 13 and 14 movable on the body.
is attached so that the arm main body 8 can be fixed to a part such as a balcony handrail.

On the other hand, the rotating shaft 6 of the rotating part 6 of the basket arm
A plurality of angle fixing screw holes 21 are formed at equal intervals in a circular shape on both end faces of the basket body on the outer periphery of the basket body a, and screws 22 that can be fixed in these screw holes 21 are attached to these screw holes in the rotating part 6. is installed in the position corresponding to the hole in the In addition, in the figure, 31 is a water drain hose.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an integrated hydroponic culture box in which flowers are grown. As shown in the figure, the box 41 in this example is
Planter basket main body 2 of this example shown in FIG.
The water level hole 43 is formed in one end surface 42. Here, the cultivation bed in this cultivation box is formed of pine for growing plants. This pine is a sponge-like material made of plastic or the like, and has a plurality of root cap guidance holes and fertilizer fixing holes in which substances necessary for growth, such as fertilizer, are installed.

FIG. 3 shows the cultivation box 41 shown in FIG. 2 installed in the basket 1 of this example shown in FIG.

Next, FIGS. 4 to 7 are perspective views showing different usage states of the planter basket of this example. In FIG. 4, the basket body 2 is set upside down. 5 to 7 show the bracket arm 8 fixed to the balcony railing 51 and the bracket body 2 set in a horizontal and vertical state, and the bracket body 5 fixed to the balcony railing 51. is set so that it is located on the upper side. As can be seen from these figures, the basket planter of this example can be moved according to environmental conditions, such as by placing the basket outside the balcony during the day and retracting it inside at night. Plant cultivation is also suitably carried out.

Note that the planter basket may be made of any material, such as wood, bamboo,
Examples include paper, earth, stone, concrete, glass, metals, synthetic resins, and pottery. In addition, possible locations for installing planter baskets include:
For example, balconies, indoors, outdoors, guardrails,
Possible examples include sidewalk fences, walls of buildings, highway walls, riverbanks, and fences on the sea or lake.

Examples of plants that can be used include flowers, flower pots, bulbs, flowering trees, ornamental plants, cacti, bonsai, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, fruit trees, orchids, medicinal herbs, and aquatic plants.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the rotary planter basket of the invention, the soil for cultivating and growing plants held by the planter basket can be tilted by a certain angle from the horizontal state. Therefore, it becomes possible to freely change the viewing angle compared to the conventional case where the viewing angle was always horizontal. That is, by changing the inclination angle depending on the viewing position and installing the planter basket, it becomes possible to place the planter basket in a place where it could not be installed in the past because it would not be possible to view the planter.
