Abstract

The device has four parts constituting body of a reservoir (1) and assembled together by adhering before being fixed on a rear side of a frame (2). A fifth part of the reservoir is moved using a hinge in order to provide access to the reservoir for filling water. The reservoir is filled with a rock wool (5) for hydroponic cultivation or with soil for classical cultivation. Holes (8) are provided in the rock wool for receiving plant species (3).

LIVING VEGETABLE TABLES

  The present invention relates to frames for the hydroponics or conventional culture of living plants.

  Traditionally in urban areas, the cultivation of plants is carried out in pots or bins more or less unsightly and difficult to integrate with the interior of a dwelling.

  The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback by the equipment on a frame, and this, regardless of its material (wood, canvas, glass, steel, mosaic, ...) a waterproof tank, to allow The cultivation of living plants in a conventional or hydroponic environment.

  According to the following embodiments: - The four parts constituting the body of the tank (1) (plexiglass, wood, or iron) are first assembled together by gluing, before being fixed on the rear face of the frame (2). A layer of silicone is applied on each inner junction to allow a perfect sealing. - The fifth part (6) of the tank is movable, with a hinge (7) placed on one side, to allow its lifting and thus give access to the application to the tank (1) for filling water , from above (6).

  - For hydroponics, the tank is filled by the front face, rockwool (5): the latter is traversed by a perforated pipe (4) to run water in 'to have a constant humidity. Holes (8) are practical in rock wool to accommodate plants (3).

  - For conventional culture, the tank is filled by the front face, earth (12) or plants (3) are directly plant.

  The frames (2) can title of all sizes, the reservoir equipent each being proportional to the amount of plant plants (3).

  Page 2 The living pictures containing many plants (large frames) have an additional tank (9) of water, always on the back side of the frame, with a small electric hydraulic pump (10) autonomous to guarantee a constant humidity.

  The small plant boards can be placed on a flat surface or in case of balance problems and for larger sizes, equipped with equipment (11) to be hung on a wall or other support.

Claims (5)

  1) Device for the hydroponic culture (5) or conventional (12) of living plants in frames in that it comprises a waterproof tank (1) fixed or cone on the rear face.   2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the tank is waterproof to accommodate all the basic elements (earth, rock blade, ...) required for conventional culture (12) or hydroponic (5).   3) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that ('element base is traversed by a perforated pipe (4) which allows to have permanently water' to obtain a constant humidity.   4) Device according to rune any of the preceding claims characterized in that the water filling of the reservoir is effected through the opening (6) by pivoting its upper part.   5) Device according to claim 1 characterized by the establishment of a device (11) to be hanging on the wall or other support.
