Abstract

The plant container system comprises a flower pot (2) and a larger outer container (1). This has a collar (3) on its inner surface halfway or lower down, on which the flower pot is hung. The space in the outer pot above the flowerpot is filled with earth.

Description

The Innovation relates to a planter, consisting from a plant pot and a much larger planter in height, with the plant pot in the planter suspended is.

Such planters are already known, for example from the DE 20 2005 003922 U1 , There, a plant pot can be hung in the upper part of the planter. In the described solution, a large variety of decorations should be possible, in particular a lighting within the transparently formed planter. This should make the flowers in the plant pot come into their own.

Out Japanese Patent Application 2002114013 is also a planter pot serving tube become known, which decoratively designed on its outside is big and at your girth Viewing window for which has flowers inside a plant pot.

In contrast, is It is the task of innovation, for Plants with long roots or tall plants, such as small ones trees or shrubs, a To propose planters, where the diameter is relatively small in relation to the height.

The solution this object is seen in the fact that the planter in the region of its center, or below, having on its inside a bead ring, in the plant pot can be hung is, and that the area above the plant pot in the planter through Potting soil refillable is.

Further Features of the innovation are characterized in the subclaims.

One embodiment The innovation will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

It demonstrate:

1 : A perspective view of the planter

2 a section through the lower half of the planter; (the plant pot is fully drawn)

3 : an alternative to the bead ring

at today's common Planters, whether out Plastic or clay, the diameter of the top edge is often larger than the planter itself, with the consequence that pots with the appropriate height a lot too wide and heavy. They are because of their size and unwieldiness for balconies and small outdoor seating therefore often not suitable.

plants with long roots or small trees and shrubs but need deep plant pots no overreach in the area of the pot opening, as they have the above-described planters. Because of the surface would too evaporate the water very quickly.

For such Applications with deep plant pots is the innovation thought.

A.

In the planter ( 1 ) a plant pot ( 2 ) to a circumferential bead ring ( 3 ) introduced. The pot edge rests on the bead ring and prevents slipping of the plant pot. This can with the potting end or foot ( 4 ), so that you can put a water reducer between the foot and plant pot for constant water supply. The plant pot is thus planting soil, stable position and breathable element in one.

Of the Plant pot can also hang only in the planter, without reaching the ground.

The planter can now be filled with soil become. The weight of the earth increases again the stability of the planter. It is considered the scale for the planter: twice as high as wide!

B.

Instead of a bead ring can in accordance with the innovation according to 3 , a groove ( 5 ) are provided in the inner surface of the planter, into which a slotted snap ring ( 6 ) can be snapped in with a round or semicircular cross-section.

To increase the variability also several grooves ( 5 ) may be provided to hang the plant pot in different heights can.

Finally is it is also possible in the sense of innovation instead of a bead ring several (at least 3) lugs on the inner surface of the planter to arrange in a plane on which the plant pot are hung can.

C.

The Advantages of the innovation are clearly in the space-saving design, their handy use and their low water consumption.

she is for all plants usable, for Trees for vegetables, for all Rank plants or only flower plants.

Claims (7)

Planter, consisting of a plant pot and a significantly larger in height planter, the plant pot is suspended in the planter, characterized in that the planter ( 1 ) in the region of its center or below on the inside a bead ring ( 3 ), in which a plant pot ( 2 ) and that the area above the plant pot ( 2 ) in the planter ( 1 ) is fillable by potting soil.
