Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool for supporting a planter, which is a type of a container used when growing plants.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a planter is a cultivation container made of plastic, which is used when cultivating ornamental plants and vegetables. When cultivating ornamental plants, in order to decorate the plants and the planter neatly, the entire planter is placed at a high position by placing it on a shelf board or the like. ing. There is a flower pot similar to a planter, and a normal flower pot has a truncated conical shape and is also placed and decorated at a high position like the planter, but is smaller than the planter. Therefore, it was easy to mount the camera at a high position.

[0003] Such planters and flower pots are
At a veranda or a garden, it is popular to arrange them in a stair-like manner or to suspend them from a veranda, a fence, or the like for easy viewing. Therefore, in order to arrange the planters in a stepwise manner, it is necessary to arrange the shelf boards in a stepwise manner as described above, and as an example having such a stepped shelfboard, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-17030. There was a flower stand disclosed in the gazette. This is not a device relating to a step-shaped shelf, but relates to an installation structure of a light-shielding plate for the purpose of shielding light, but shows a structure having a step-shaped shelf.

On the other hand, when a flowerpot is placed at a high position, it can be placed on a shelf plate like a planter, and a tool for suspending the flowerpot has been developed. Utility model registration No. 3038271 There were aids that could be mounted on the wall as shown in the gazette.

[0005]

However, in the case of using a shelf board to secure a place where it can be placed at a high position, a large space is required because the shelf board is provided. , It is only necessary to always have a planter on which decorative plants are grown, but if not,
The shelves are not only clean, they are not beautiful in appearance, and dead spaces are created, making it impossible to use the veranda or garden effectively. Further, when the shelf board is not used for a long period of time, it is inconvenient to store it.

[0006] When an auxiliary tool for suspending one flower pot is diverted to a planter, it is difficult to suspend the entire plant in a well-balanced manner, because a general planter is only an elongated rectangular parallelepiped in appearance. Because of the heavy weight, there was anxiety in terms of strength when suspending.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a support capable of easily lifting a planter and facilitating storage.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a base,
A planter support, comprising: two pillars erected from the base part; and a planter abutting part formed by bending both the vicinity of the upper ends of the two pillars horizontally. Make a summary.

In addition, the present invention provides a base portion having a sufficient area surrounded by a rod-like member, two columns symmetrically erected from the base portion, and a portion near the upper end of the column. The gist of the present invention is also a planter support which is bent and has a planter abutting portion which is opposed to the both ends at a predetermined interval. In this case, the support is a support bent in the vicinity of the center, and when the same type of support is used face-to-face, the distance between the planter abutting portions respectively formed at both ends of the support is used. However, it is preferable that the distance be shorter than the distance between the columns near the base.

[0010] Further, two pillars having a spacing smaller than the spacing between the two pillars, a hook protruding outward in the width direction at lower ends of the two pillars, and a part of the pillar near the hooking part. Is provided with an auxiliary member of a planter support comprising a leg curved substantially in a U-shape, a reinforcing portion is suspended between both columns of the support, and the leg of the auxiliary member is brought into contact with the reinforcing portion. It is preferable that a plurality of planters be supported by hooking the hook on the support.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a planter support 1 of the present embodiment has a base portion 2 formed by bending or bending a rod-shaped member at a lower portion, and two base columns 3 and 4 are formed from the base portion 2. Is erected. These two pillars 3,
4 is bent near its upper end 5 and 6 so that both ends 7 and 8 are opposed to each other. From the vicinity of the front end 5,6 to the front end 7,8, abutment portions 9,10 are formed, both of which are kept horizontal, and a slight gap H is provided between the opposed front end 7,8. Is configured.

The base portion 2 is composed of a curved portion 11 obtained by bending a rod-shaped member into a circular shape, and a linear portion 12 having a linear shape in which the same type of rod-shaped member is bent continuously.
A wide area is surrounded by the curved portion 11 and the straight portion 12. Thus, even when a lateral load is applied to the columns 3, 4, the columns 3, 4 can be maintained in an upright state. Due to the nature of the base portion 2 as described above, it is not always necessary to surround the rod-shaped member. However, by surrounding the rod, the tip of the rod-shaped member is not exposed. It can be eliminated.

The columns 3 and 4 are fixed in an upright state by welding or the like to the base portion. In order to strengthen the fixed state, the reinforcing portion 1 is fixed between the columns 3 and 4.
3 and 14 are suspended, and the weight of the planter to be supported keeps the two 3 and 4 upright,
The bending of the columns 3 and 4 is prevented. In addition, the above-mentioned reinforcing portions 13 and 14 are suspended on both columns 3 and 4,
When a biased load acts on one of the columns 3 and 4, the load can be distributed to the other. Note that the gap H between the tips 7, 8 of the columns 3, 4 may be unnecessary depending on the type of planter to be supported, but depends on the part of the planter when the contact portions 9, 10 are brought into contact. Since there are projections such as ribs, if the gap H is provided, it is possible to cope with various planters.

Next, the usage of this embodiment will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, the structure of the planter 20 to be supported by the support 1 of the present embodiment will be generally described. The part 21 and the edge part 22 formed by folding over the entire periphery of the opening are integrally formed of plastic. And edge 2
Reference numeral 2 serves not only to increase the strength of the opening but also to function as a handle. Therefore, when the planter 20 is carried by hand, the edge 22 can be grasped and lifted.

When the planter 20 is lifted and installed, the edge 22 is supported. In this case, two similar supports 1a and 1b are required. That is, in order to lift the planter 20, at least two opposing portions of the edge 22 must be supported. Therefore, FIG. 2 shows a case where the short sides 23 and 24 of the substantially rectangular shape formed by the edge 22 are supported. In this case, the edge 22 of the planter 20
Of the short sides 23 and 24,
The two supports 1a, 1b are spaced apart from each other, and the planters 20 are attached to the contact portions 9a, 10a, 9b, 10b formed at the upper ends of the columns 3a, 4a, 3b, 4b of the support portions 1a, 1b. So that the short side portions 23 and 24 of the
Support the whole. As described above, since the short side portions 23 and 24 are also provided by being folded back, the contact portions 9a, 10a, 9b and 10b come into contact with the inside of the short side portions 23 and 24. In addition, such a contact is made by a contact portion 9a, 1 having a horizontal portion having a sufficient length.
Since the contact points 0a, 9b, 10b and the short side portions 23, 24 are provided, the planter 20 can be supported in a good condition. In addition, by supporting another edge portion 22 (for example, a long side portion) with the same type of support tool, the lifted planter 20 can be more stably installed.

Further, as described above, both support members 1a, 1b
Are provided with the same base portions 2a and 2b, so that there is little possibility that the supports 1a and 1b will fall down. However, by placing a weight or the like on the base portions 2a and 2b, The parts 2a and 2b can be fixedly installed, and the supports 1a and 1b can also be fixedly installed. Then, in that case, by placing general (potentially circular bottom) flower pots 31a, 31b on the curved portions 11a, 11b forming the base portions 2a, 2b,
The same effect as the above-mentioned weight can be obtained, and the appearance can be improved. Further, since the base portions 2a and 2b are constituted by the rod-shaped members as described above, if the place where the planter 20 is installed is a garden or the like, a firm fixation can be achieved by driving the hook into the ground. .

Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, similarly to the first embodiment, a base portion 102 including a curved portion 11 and a straight portion 112 is provided.
And pillars 103, 10 erected on the base 102.
4 and 4. Therefore, if only the differences from the first embodiment will be described, the struts 103 and 104 are the first curved portions 11 curved in the same direction while maintaining the intervals.
5, 116, and furthermore, the second curved portions 117, 118 which are curved in the opposite direction at the upper portion thereof are provided. Therefore, the pillars 103 and 104 have the lower portions of the first curved portions 115 and 116 erected in the vertical direction, and the upper portions of the columns 103 and 104 have the upper portions of the second curved portions 117 and 118.
It is adjusted in the vertical direction, and the second curved portion 117,
The portion above 118 is maintained in a vertical state at a position different from the position where the portions below the first curved portions 115 and 116 are erected.

With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 4, the planter 120 is connected to two support portions 101a, 101 of the same type.
01b, the columns 103a, 104a, 10
3b and 104b (the first curved portions 115 and 1).
16 and the second curved portions 117 and 118) 14
Upper parts 141a, 141b above 0a, 140b
However, the lower half 14 below the bent portions 140a and 140b
By arranging both support portions 101a and 101b so as to be located inward from 2a and 142b, the distance L1 between both upper halves 141a and 141b can be reduced.
It is possible to make the distance L2 shorter than the distance L2 between 42a and 142b. Therefore, each contact portion 109a, 110a, 1
09b, 110b to the short side portion 123 of the planter 120,
124, the respective contact portions 109a,
110a, 109b, 110b are short side portions 123, 1
24, and enters the inside of the short side portion 123, 134, and the outer short edges of the short side portions 123, 134 are in contact with the contact portions 109a, 1
It is located outside of 10a, 109b, 110b. That is, the length L3 of the planter 120 is equal to the upper half 141a,
This is longer than the interval L1 of 141b. But,
The distance L2 between the lower halves 142a and 142b is
It is possible to make it even longer than the length L3 of 0.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, the first planter 12 is located at the upper ends of the supports 101a and 101b.
Oa is supported, and the second planter 120b can be placed immediately below the Oa. The mounting of the second planter 120b is performed by the two support members 101a, 101
Since it is mounted on the base portions 102a and 102b (FIG. 4) of b, it has a function as a weight similarly to the first embodiment described above.

Further, by using a mixture of the support 1 of the first embodiment and the support 101 of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG.
a, 120b, and 120c can be installed in three stages. In this case, the support 1 of the first embodiment is shorter than the support 101 of the second embodiment. The lowermost planter 120c is placed on the ground without being supported. In addition, planter 1
In the case where the planter 120 is supported, the belt-like auxiliary cords 15 are attached to the reinforcing portions 114a and 114b so that the planter 120 is not deformed by the weight of the internal soil or the like and the supporting state is stabilized.
By using 0 (FIG. 4), it is possible to withstand long-term support.

Next, an auxiliary member when the support 101 of the second embodiment is used will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, the auxiliary member 160 has columns 163 and 164 similar to the support 101 of the above-described second embodiment, and has a contact portions 169 and 170 at its upper end. Make up. However, the distance between the two supports 163 and 164 depends on the support 1
01 is smaller than the interval between the columns 103 and 104, and the base is not formed. And
Instead of the base portion, a hook portion 162 is provided at the lower end in the direction of the interval between the columns 163 and 164 and further protrudes outward. The hook portion 162 is a column of the support 101. It is configured to be longer than the interval between 103 and 104. In the vicinity of the lower end, the columns 103, 1
The leg portions 175 and 176 each of which has a substantially U-shaped curved portion 04 are configured.

With the above structure, as shown in FIG. 6B, only the hook portion 162 is attached to the support 1 of the support 101.
03 and 104, while being oblique (see FIG. 6A), the hooking portion 162
Are hooked while abutting on both columns 103, 104, and a part of the curved leg portions 175, 176 abuts on the reinforcing portion 113 of the support 101. Therefore, the outward rotation moment acting on the columns 163 and 164 around the legs 175 and 176 is canceled by the hooking portion 162 due to the weight of the auxiliary member 160 when supported by its own weight or the tip. Thus, the auxiliary member 160 can be stably mounted on the support 101. In addition, this auxiliary member 160
As described above, when the support 101 is mounted while being in contact with the reinforcing portion 113 of the support 101, the upper ends 169 and 170 of the support 101 are supported by the support 1.
It is adjusted so as to be positioned lower than the contact portions 109 and 110 of No. 01.

Next, the manner of use of the auxiliary member 160 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the auxiliary member 160 supports the planter 120a by the supports 101a and 101b of the second embodiment, and the other same type of planter 101b (and 101c) is stepwise in the lateral direction. It can be used when trying to set up. That is, the auxiliary member 160 mounted on one of the supports 101b is
The upper ends 169 and 170 are the contact portions 10 of the support 101.
The auxiliary member 160 and the support 1 of the first embodiment are adjusted to the same height as the heights of the contact portions 9 and 10 of the support 1 of the first embodiment. Thus, the second-stage planter 120b can be supported. Here, this auxiliary member 16
0 can be supported by the support 10 of the second embodiment.
Reinforcing part 113 provided in 1a, 101b (FIG. 6)
By providing the reinforcing portion 113 at a high position, the height of the contact portions 109 and 110 (FIG. 6) of the auxiliary member 160 can be adjusted to the height of the support members 101a and 101b of the second embodiment. It is also possible to make it coincide with the contact part 109 (FIG. 6). In that case, the two planters 120a and 120b can be supported at the same height.

Further, by installing the support 1 of the first embodiment at this position without using the auxiliary member 160, the second-stage planter 120b is brought into a state similar to FIG.
It is also possible to support. However, in both of the supports 1 and 101, the base portions 2 and 102 have a structure having a large area.
A large gap is formed between the second stage planter 120b and the second stage planter 120b.
Depending on the type of the plant cultivated in b, it can be expected that many columns 3, 4, 103, and 104 will be exposed, giving an undesirable appearance.
Therefore, it can be selected according to the plant being cultivated.

It is needless to say that various embodiments can be adopted without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the support 1,102 and the auxiliary member 16
The reference numeral 0 indicates that each member is formed by a method of bending or bending a bar-shaped member, but other types of members can be used for the purpose of improving the appearance and strength. Further, in the embodiment, only the base portions 2 and 102 constituted by the circular curved portions 11 and 111 and the linear portions 12 and 112 are shown, but the shape and the like are not limited to these. It is obvious from the gist of the present invention. In the drawings of the planters 20, 120,... For describing the above embodiments, a state in which no soil is contained is shown, but this is merely for convenience of description, and In use, the plant is naturally cultivated and the plant is cultivated. Further, in the present embodiment, since it is assumed that a metal material is used in consideration of strength, the base portion 2, 102 and the support 3,
4, 104 and 104 are fixed by welding, but may be fixed by other means, or may be detachably provided without fixing. In this case, if the strength at the time of mounting is sufficient, storage can be extremely simple. Further, in the above embodiment, although not shown, when made of deformed steel bar, the pattern appearing on the surface improves the design. In addition, different types of metal rods can be used.
