Abstract

The plant container has an insert which incorporates a regulator for continually adjusting the amount of liquid. The insert consists of several separate compartments each of which is water tight. The insert is suspended or placed inside the container whose bottom incorporates a collector compartment for the liquid. The insert is in the form of an intermediate bottom without outer sides and positioned apart from the base of the container. The container can be in various shapes, such as round or polygonal. The number and size of the compartments in it can vary.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pflanzbehälter mit eingehängtem oder eingestelltem-Pflanzeinsatz, der den Pflanzbehälter in mindestens einen oder mehrere getrennte Pflanzräume und einen darunterliegenden Flüssigkeitsspeicherraum unterteilt, aus dem mit Hilfe mindestens einer saugfähigen Masse die Flüssigkeit über eine Reguliereinrichtung dosierbar, in mindestens einen oder mehrere getrennte Pflanzräume gelangt. Durch diese, in der Flüssigkeitsförderung regulierbare Masse, kann in den einzelnen Pflanzräumen unterschiedliche Erdfeuchtigkeit eingestellt werden.The invention relates to a plant container with a suspended or a set plant liner that supports the Plant containers in at least one or more separate ones Plant rooms and an underlying fluid storage space divided from which with With the help of at least one absorbent mass, the liquid can be dosed via a regulating device, in at least one or more separate planting rooms. Through this, in the liquid pumping adjustable mass, different soil humidity can be set in the individual plant rooms will.

Pflanzgefäße mit Wasserspeicherraum, aus dem über dochtartige Massen laufend Feuchtigkeit in den Pflanzraum gefördert wird, sind bekannt. Auch sind Bewässerungseinrichtungen bekannt, bei denen die Flüssigkeitsfördermenge regulierbar ist (GM 7501991 und GM 7618689 desselben Anmelders).Planters with water storage space, from which moisture continuously enters the planting space via wick-like masses are known. Irrigation systems are also known in which the liquid delivery rate is adjustable (GM 7501991 and GM 7618689 of the same applicant).

Ebenfalls bekannt ist, aus Zierübertöpfen mittels eines einlegbaren Zwischenbodens mit Reguliereinrichtung, Pflanztöpfe für Langzeitbewässerung zu gestalten GM 7539951 desselben Anmelders.It is also known from ornamental pots by means of a insertable intermediate floor with regulating device to design plant pots for long-term irrigation GM 7539951 by the same applicant.

Mit der Neuheit wird erreicht, daß Pflanzen mit hohem Erdfeuchtigkeitsbedarf neben Pflanzen, die einer niedrigeren Erdfeuchtigkeit bedürfen, in demselben Pflanzgefäß nebeneinander prächtig gedeihen, und über einen gemeinsamen Flüssigkeitsspeicher auf lange Zeit bewässert werden.With the novelty it is achieved that plants with a high soil moisture requirement in addition to plants that have a lower Need soil moisture, thrive next to each other in the same planter, and over a common one Fluid reservoirs are watered for a long time.

Mit der Erfindung wird es möglich, Pflanzen mit den verschiedensten Erdfeuchtigkeitsbedürfnissen nebeneinander in einem Pflanztrog zum Gedeihen zu bringen, und damit mehr Abwechslung in die Bepflanzung, z.B. von Pflanzwannen, zu bekommen.With the invention it becomes possible to use plants with a wide variety of To allow soil moisture requirements to thrive next to each other in a plant trough, and thus to get more variety in the planting, e.g. from planting tubs.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung dargestellt.The invention is shown in the drawing.

In einen Pflanzbehälter (l) wird ein ein- oder mehrteiliger Pflanzeinsatz (2) eingestellt. Durch diesen Pflanzeinsatz (2) wird ein Wasserspeicherraum (3) gebildet, der über eine Einfüllöffnung (4) mit Gießflüssigkeit (5) gefüllt wird. Ein Schwimmer (6) zeigt über einen Peilstab (7) den Stand der Gießflüssigkeit an. Der Peilstab (7) gleitet in einem Schutzrohr (8). Über dochtartige MassenA one-part or multi-part planter is placed in a plant container (l) Plant liner (2) set. Through this plant insert (2) a water storage space (3) is formed which Filled with casting liquid (5) via a filling opening (4) will. A float (6) shows the level of the casting liquid via a dipstick (7). The dipstick (7) slides in a protective tube (8). About wick-like masses

(9) gelangt die Gießflüssigkeit über die Berührungsstelle(9) the casting liquid reaches the point of contact

Durch Drehen am Regulierstab (13), der mit einem drehbaren Dochthalter (15) fest verbunden ist, kann der Berührungsquerschnitt zwischen Dochtmasse (ll), welche auf dem Dochthalter (15) befestigt ist, und dem Saugdocht (9) kontinuierlich verändert werden. Damit wird die Flüssigkeitsförderung aus dem Wasserspeicherraum (3) zum jeweiligen Pflanzraum (14) eingestellt. Eine Markierung am Regulierstab (13) kann den Überdeckungszustand (10) der Dochtmassen (9) und (ll) anzeigen.By turning the regulating rod (13), which is firmly connected to a rotatable wick holder (15), the contact cross-section between the wick compound (ll), which is attached to the wick holder (15), and the suction wick (9) can be changed continuously. This is the liquid pumping from the water storage space (3) to the respective planting space (14). A mark on The regulating rod (13) can indicate the overlap state (10) of the wick masses (9) and (ll).
