Description

  The present invention relates to a plant cultivation apparatus using a cloth planter, which can cultivate a plant satisfactorily by standing a support frame in a stable state.

  The present applicant has proposed a plant cultivation apparatus using a fabric planter suitable for vegetable cultivation in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-18921. As shown in FIG. 16, the planter a made of fabric constituting the plant cultivation apparatus includes a bottomed bag-like body b that is formed using a fabric and accommodates soil with an open upper end, and a side surface portion thereof. A column support part e was provided on the outer surface side d of c. The support column e is inserted between the support fabric piece f and the side surface c by sewing both end portions g and g of a fabric-made holding fabric piece f to the side surface c. The holding cylinder part j to be formed is formed. And while making the holding | maintenance cylinder part j penetrate the lower end side part k of the support | pillar h, and accommodating the soil m in the said bottomed bag-like body b, the fabric planter can be self-supporting in a stable state, and was accommodated. The soil m pressed the column h from the back side, and the column h was in a stable standing state. The configuration in which the holding cylinder portion j is provided on the side surface portion c of the bottomed bag-like body b as described above is that a sufficient holding force cannot be obtained only by directly pushing the column into the housed soil m. Therefore, in view of the fact that the support column is likely to fall down, the support column h is held by the holding cylinder part j provided on the outer surface side of the planter, thereby exerting the support column pressing action by the soil m accommodated. It was intended to be stably held by regulating the position.

  The fabric planter has a bottomed bag-like body b having an open upper end, so that a volume capable of storing a large amount of soil can be easily secured, and can stably stand by the weight of the stored soil, and requires a lot of soil. It can be done well even in vegetable cultivation, but it is easy to fold because it is made of textiles, and it can be folded small when transporting products or selling at retail stores In addition to having the advantage of being able to transport, store and display without requiring so much transport space, storage space, and display space, after the cultivation of vegetables, etc., the soil can be discharged and folded into small pieces It had the advantage of being easy to store. In addition, since it is made of woven fabric, it has the advantage that it is unlikely to break, unlike conventional plastic or pottery cultivation containers.

  However, when using such a fabric planter, the pressing of the column h by the soil m accommodated in the bottomed bag-like body b was indirect through the side surface. Further, the inner diameter of the holding cylinder portion j is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the column so that the lower end side portion k of the column h can be easily inserted. For this reason, the support h in the state of being inserted into the holding cylinder portion j is apt to be unstable due to fluctuation even if the pressing action by the soil contained in the bottomed bag-like body b is obtained. There was a problem that the cultivated plants could not be supported stably.

  In addition, when the bottomed bag-like body b is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view as shown in FIG. 17, the side part c1 on the long side is caused by the pressure of the soil m accommodated in the bottomed bag-like body b. , C1 are likely to bulge outward, and the rectangular parallelepiped shape of the bottomed bag-like body b in which the soil is accommodated cannot be stably held, and the self-supporting of the bottomed bag-like body b may become unstable. It was.

The opening width of the column introduction port 63 of the main body 62 is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the column 6, and the width between the both ends 65, 65 of the column introduction port 63 increases toward the tip. Guide pieces 66 and 66 project in opposite directions so as to form a letter shape. In this embodiment, each of the column connecting portions 59, 59 is provided with three column holding portions 60 at predetermined intervals. The reason for providing a plurality of column support portions 60 in this manner is to respond to the size of the interval between adjacent columns 6 and 6 in the standing state.

  In this way, before or after connecting the adjacent struts 6 and 6 with the strut connector 55, the soil 64 is accommodated in the left and right soil accommodating portions 17 and 19, as shown in FIG. Plants such as vegetables and flowers can be cultivated on the veranda, garden, indoors, etc. At that time, the left and right support frame bodies 56, 56 can cultivate the same or different plants (green pepper, eggplant, tomato, flower, etc.) one by one on the left and right.

  When the soil 64 is stored in the soil storage unit 2, the fabric planter 1 can stably stand on its own as the weight of the stored soil. Then, each support cylinder portion 10 that was initially in the state of FIG. 10A is crushed by the weight of the housed soil 64 and the pressing action by the soil, for example, as shown in FIG. And the outer surface side 68 of the lower end side portion 7 of the support column 6 is supported in a stable state from the outside by the corner portion 25 of the cloth planter 1. . Thereby, the support | pillar 6 will be positioned reliably and will be in the stable standing state. However, as described above, since the adjacent struts 6 and 6 are connected to each other by the strut connector 55, the right and left soil accommodating portions 17 and 19 can be correctly viewed in plan view with the central strut 6b. The two left and right strut frames 56, 56 having a triangular shape or an isosceles triangular shape are configured in a stable state.

  And since the support | pillar 6 is pressed by the corner part 25 of the cloth planter 1 in this way, the up-and-down linearity of this corner part 25 (FIG. 7) is ensured. However, since the connecting piece 16 maintains the distance between the long side wall portions 13 and 13 as required, the long side wall portions 13 and 13 swell outward due to the pressure of the housed soil 64. Therefore, the rectangular parallelepiped shape of the fabric planter 1 in the state in which the soil 64 is accommodated in the soil accommodating portion 2 can be stably retained. In addition, since the communication openings 24 are provided between the lower end 21 of the connecting piece 16 and the bottom surface 44 of the planter body 3 so that the left and right soil accommodating portions 17 and 19 communicate with each other, the left and right soil accommodating portions 17 and 19 are provided. With respect to the soil 64, 64 contained in the water, moisture and nutrients can be moved back and forth.

  In addition, since the fabric planter 1 is composed entirely of non-woven fabric, it is easy to fold. When transporting the product or selling it at a retail store, the fabric planter 1 is folded to a small size so that it can be transported, stored, and displayed. Transportation, storage, and display can be performed without requiring much space. Moreover, after vegetable cultivation etc. are over, since soil can be discharged | emitted and it can fold small, the storage is also easy. Furthermore, since the whole is made of non-woven fabric, there is no risk of cracking unlike conventional plastic or pottery cultivation containers.

  The present invention is by no means limited to those shown in the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that various design changes can be made within the scope of the claims. One example is as follows.
