DESCRIPTION

Flower pot

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention relates to a pot that allows to increase the decorative capacity of plants, even those located high.

It is applicable in the field of gardening and decoration.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Many types of pot are known: conical trunk, rectangular, ceramic, plastic, etc. All of them start from a hollow container intended to include soil, humus, and different types of landfill where to grow some type of plant. Some have great depth and others, such as pots for bonsai, are very shallow.

As for placement, the pots can be located below the plane of sight, so that the plant is well appreciated, or in elevation, generally for hanging plants.

However, there is no known pot that can combine all these functions: variable depth, allow to see the plant but in elevation, ... and therefore create new aesthetic effects.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a pot, according to the claims, which allows to give a special visibility to the plants and create novel effects.

The pot is of the type formed by a hollow body configured to contain soil, humus, etc. and with a top opening. In a novel way it comprises a recess in the wall that starts from the upper opening. This recess allows the vision of the interior of the pot, where you can create amazing aesthetic effects.

Preferably, the soil is irregular, with elevations and / or recesses that create different levels where the soil and plants can be placed, even projecting parts of the potting structure can be seen.

These irregularities can be of various types. Among others:

A straight central protrusion that emerges from the bottom base of the pot. This central highlight will have, among other uses, the function of allowing the pot to be placed on a railing.

An elevated soil that modifies the depth of part of the pot.

A ladder from the floor of the pot, or succession of "raised floors" at different heights.

An internal wall that divides in two, totally or partially, the useful surface of the pot (that is, the surface of the earth, humus, ...). This will be topped near the opening of the pot.

Other variants will be described later.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

Figure 1: perspective view of a first embodiment.

Figure 2: perspective view of a second embodiment.

Figure 3: perspective view of a third embodiment.

Figure 4: front view of the example of figure 1, with soil and plants, showing the aesthetic effect.

EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Next, a mode of embodiment of the invention will be described briefly, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of this.

The pots shown in the figures comprise a generally truncated cone body, and with the lower base closed. This form corresponds only to a preferred example. The invention can be applied to any other form of pot.

As can be seen in the figures, the pot comprises a body (1) intended to contain the soil, the humus and all the necessary material for the plant. The body (1) has a recess (2) in its wall that allows to see the inside of the body (1) from the side. This recess (2) has dimensions large enough to allow to appreciate the details of the base of the plant, and small enough not to affect the structure.

Therefore, the minimum and maximum sizes will depend mainly on the material and the shape of the pot. An example will be about 50% of the height of the pot and about 45% of its perimeter. The shape of the recess (2) can be parallel or convergent sides.

Preferably the recess is 30 to 75% of the height of the pot and 30 to 65% of its perimeter. It has been proven that this recess is adequate to achieve the objective of the invention while preventing the interior content from falling by gravity recess.

In the different figures several different embodiments are appreciated, which combine a series of elements that affect part of the floor of the pot, raising it irregularly, so that it is not flat. These elements allow varying the depth of the pot, leaving visible parts to mimic a natural area (to scale) and in general generating aesthetic effects completely new and impossible to achieve with a traditional pot. Some of these elements can be:

- An elevated soil (3) that modifies the depth of the pot, and allows creating levels.

- A ladder (4) that results in a more advanced variant of the ground (3). It can be straight or curved.

- A straight central projection (5), which emerges from the bottom base of the pot, for the placement of the pot on a balcony or for aesthetic reasons.

- An internal wall (6), which creates a division of the volume of the pot. The division can be total, starting in two isolated areas, or partial, as in figure 4. In any case, that internal wall (6) will be finished off near the opening, preventing the passage of the land over.

These elements can be combined to create different aesthetic effects and thus increase the versatility of the invention.
