Description

Aeration and irrigation control device of pots and planters.

This Utility Model refers to a "Device for aeration and control of irrigation of pots and planters ", suitable for any type of containers. Although you will get a more compact, harmonious and decorative element, if The entire device is included within the volume designed as flower pot or planter.

One of the main drawbacks with which users find pots or traditional planters, it is having to water them periodically and not being able to do so quietly inside the houses, or outside to any time, nor in periods of absence or holidays. If, in order to save these periods, the pot or gardener, excess moisture occurs, reaching even to soak the earth and cause root rot of the plants. All this is solved with the Device Aeration and Irrigation Control object of this model of utility, since they can be watered without changing them to any place time of day and fundamentally reduce long-term irrigation periods of time.

The Aeration and Control Device Irrigation, is a system that allows full use of the water used for irrigation, since it collects in a tank accumulator located at the bottom of the pot or planter, water leftover from irrigation or discharge to maintain the maximum level of quoted deposit, so that the earth as it loses moisture, absorb water from this reservoir, thus obtaining a constant humidity, and allowing the irrigation of the plantations They can be for long periods of time. The aforementioned system avoids also, the losses due to washing of the mineral substances of the land, since these will pass to the water tank, and will be again absorbed by the soil and roots of the campus.

The accumulator tank is in direct contact by means of a conduit, with the natural environment surrounding the pot or planter, producing a constant aeration of the earth through holes located in the lid of the aforementioned tank, and protected by a sheet of filter cloth, to prevent the entry of dirt into the tank.

The Aeration and Control Device Watering pots and planters has five great advantages:

one.

It allows watering plants to any Time of day, without causing discomfort or harm to anyone.

2.

Price comparable to the pots and traditional planters, for the simplicity of the device aeration and irrigation control.

3.

Use of these pots and planters in interior spaces without causing water spills that cause discomfort or damage.

Four.

Use of these pots and planters in outdoor spaces, without risk of excessive water accumulation in rainy weather, which would cause root rot or drying of the plants. And in dry or hot times, the deposit water accumulator, guarantees a constant humidity of the earth, allowing long periods of time without needing irrigation.

5.

Constant aeration of the earth, causing oxygenation very beneficial for good development of the plants.

The Aeration and Control Device Watering pots and planters, consists essentially of:

-

Storage tank of variable form, according to the type of the flowerpot or gardener, and located in the bottom of the same. This tank has a double wall, to allow the placement of a "geotextile" type filter sheet inside it. The double wall is provided with several vertical openings or grooves, which once placed the tank cover become holes or windows that filter the water entering the tank. It also has an interior vertical groove that communicates with the perimeter groove where the filter sheet is housed, and which serves to facilitate the anchoring of said sheet.

-

Cover adjusted with several perforations distributed in a central area limited by a perimeter projection to adjust inside a "geotextile" filter, which allows drainage and aeration of the earth. This cover is also provided with a hole with a neck or connector, located at an end part of the interior of the accumulator tank. To the aforementioned neck is connected an air inlet tube, whose upper end will exceed the ground level of the pot or gardener.

-

Connector or element that communicates the bottom of the irrigation water storage tank with a drain or drain tap and with a transparent vertical tube. This trap can be suppressed, if said vertical tube is easily removed, so as to allow the emptying of excess water that exceeds the maximum reference level, or the elimination of it to avoid the accumulation of water in said tank in time. of rains, if the pots or planters are located outside.

-

Indicator of the maximum water level that the storage tank can have so that the plantation is not damaged. A simple way to mark on the surface of the pot or planter the maximum level of the aforementioned deposit, is to make a narrowing of the vertical groove of the transparent vertical tube housing, or an arrow-shaped shoulder or the like.

-

Composite filtering or draining material by two layers of sand of different grain sizes.

For greater compression of the present report descriptive, a sheet is attached, in which only as a title of example and not limiting, a case study of Execution of the Aeration and Irrigation Control Device applied to a pot or planter, as explained previously.

In Figure - 1. It is partially represented and sectioned a pot or planter with the Aeration Device and of Irrigation Control, indicating the elements that compose it and its provision.

The Aeration and Control Device Irrigation object of this demand, is composed of the following elements:

An accumulator tank (1) of irrigation water, which It has variable shape and volume, depending on the type of pot or planter (2), and is formed by a double wall that allows placement of a "geotextile" type filter sheet (3) inside the same. The double wall is provided with several openings or grooves vertical (4), which when the lid (5) of the tank is placed accumulator (1) become holes or windows (6) that filter the water that enters it. This deposit has in your fund a hole (7) to splice the connector (8) and communicate it with a vertical transparent tube (9) and with the trap (10). The deposit accumulator (1) inside, also has another slot vertical (11) that communicates with the perimeter groove that houses filter sheet (3), and serves to fix the ends of said sheet.

The lid (5) that fits perfectly to the tank described, has several perforations (12) distributed in an area central limited by a perimeter shoulder (13) to adjust in its inside a "geotextile" filter sheet (14), which allow the drainage and aeration of the earth. This cover is also provided with a hole with a neck or connector (15), located in an extreme part of the interior of the accumulator tank (1). To the said neck connects an air inlet tube (16), and whose upper end is above the ground level of the flower pot or planter (2).

The indicator (17) of the maximum water level that You can have the accumulated deposit (1) so that the plantation, is represented with a highlight on the outer surface of the pot or gardener, or making a narrowing in that vertical groove point of vertical tube housing transparent (9).

The space between the accumulator tank (1) and the interior walls of the pot or planter (2) is filled with draining material or sand (18), covered by a layer of sand fine (19), before placing the topsoil.

Described sufficiently the object of the present Utility Model, it should be noted, that when taken to the practice may vary the shapes, dimensions, proportion and arrangement of the different elements, as well as the materials used, without altering or modifying its essentiality.
