Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to flower pots (pots and planters).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional flower pot is a baked product made of clay or a molded product made of synthetic resin.
It is composed of a peripheral wall that extends upward from the peripheral edge of this bottom wall,
There are round and square types.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned flowerpots, when the flowerpots in which the flowers are planted are arranged along the fence, or when they are arranged in series or in a planar U-shape, the respective flowerpots and the space between the flowerpots are arranged. The whole space is completely visible, causing unsightly problems.

Further, an optional handle may be provided on the surface of the peripheral wall of the flower pot so as to eliminate the above problems.
In this case, the cost of the flowerpot will increase significantly,
The unsightlyness described above cannot be largely eliminated.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a flower pot in which the flower pots are completely visible and the space between the arranged flower pots cannot be seen.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts a construction in which a fence-shaped crosspiece is integrally provided on all or part of the outer circumference of the flowerpot in the flowerpot. Further, in the flower pot, a construction is adopted in which a fence-shaped crosspiece formed separately on all or part of the outer circumference of the flowerpot is attached by a suitable means.

[0007]

With the above-mentioned structure, the crosspieces form a fence, and it looks as if flowers are planted inside the fence. In addition, the crosspieces prevent the flowerpots and spaces between the flowerpots from being completely visible.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(First Embodiment) 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a flower pot. The above-mentioned flowerpot 1 is not limited to the illustrated planter and may be a pot. Further, a fence-shaped crosspiece 2 is integrally provided with the flowerpot 1 on all or part of the outer circumference of the flowerpot 1.

In the illustrated case, the crosspieces 2 are vertically arranged with a predetermined space left and right, and are connected to each other by a horizontal crosspiece 3 to connect the flower pot 1 and the crosspiece 2 with the horizontal crosspieces 3. In addition to integrally molding with clay and firing, the flowerpot 1 and the crosspiece 2 with the horizontal crosspiece 3 may be integrally formed of synthetic resin.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, each crosspiece 2 is made hollow by opening the lower surface to reduce the weight.
The material can be saved.

The crosspiece 2 is not limited to the entire outer peripheral surface of the illustrated flowerpot 1, but may be provided only on the surface (front) wall in the case of a square shape, or in a substantially half circumference in the case of a round shape.

Further, as shown in the drawing, each upper end of the crosspiece 2 is slightly projected upward with respect to the open upper edge of the flower pot 1, so that the flowers are located inside the fence, that is, at a position lower than the upper end of the fence. Shows the state of having been implanted.

(Second Embodiment) 11 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a flower pot. The above-mentioned flower pot 11 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. Further, a fence-shaped crosspiece 12 formed separately is attached to all or part of the outer circumference of the flowerpot 11 by a suitable means.

In the illustrated case, the above-mentioned attachment means is such that the vertical dovetail groove 14 provided on the surface of the upper edge flange portion of the flowerpot 11 and the rear surface projection 15 of the crosspiece 12 are fitted and engaged from above. However, a male or female engaging portion having a shape other than the above may be used, or a screw method (not shown) may be used.

Since the crosspiece 12 is the same as that of the first embodiment, its detailed description will be omitted. Reference numeral 13 in the figure is a horizontal rail.

Further, the crosspieces 2, 12 of the first and second embodiments.
Is not limited to the vertical arrangement in the vertical direction, but may be diagonal and intersecting.

[0018]

[Effect] As described above, according to the flowerpot according to the present invention, the crosspiece provided on the outer periphery of the flowerpot serves as a fence. For this reason, the flowerpots and the spaces between the arranged flowerpots are not completely visible, and it looks as if flowers are planted inside the fence, and the appearance is extremely good.

Further, since a separately formed crosspiece is attached to the flowerpot, the crosspiece can be removed and used as an ordinary flowerpot.
