[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flower pot hanger used to hang a flower pot with a ridge on the upper peripheral edge on a support frame, a side rail, a wall surface, etc., and more particularly to a flower pot hanger suitable for installing a large number of flower pots outdoors. It is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are various kinds of flower pots such as decorative ones used indoors, large ones used to plant foliage plants, wide and shallow ones used for bonsai, etc., but in terms of the basic function of growing plants A cone-shaped tube with a ridge around the periphery which has been used for a long time is suitable, and when cultivating many kinds or many plants, this kind of flower pot is often used.
[0003]
It is not so much in the case of general flowers, but when cultivating wildflowers and medicinal herbs, it is widely done to collect many kinds as collections or increase by dividing stocks, etc. Has a large number of flower pots, and has a cone-shaped cylindrical flower pot with a hook that is functional and inexpensive. This kind of flower pot is usually placed on an alley or a simple shelf, and when the number of pots increases, it is usually placed on a stepped pot shelf.
[0004]
On the other hand, various types of flower pot hangers for supporting a flower pot by hanging it have been proposed. Flower pot hangers are mainly used for decorating potted plants indoors, but there are structures suitable for hanging a flower pot on an outdoor wall or support frame. As an example of such a structure, there is a structure in which a ring for supporting a pot of a flower pot is provided on a metal fitting with an outward downward hook on the upper end. The flower pot hanger with this structure holds the flower pot by hooking a hook on the protrusion provided on the wall or the side rail of the support frame, dropping the flower pot into the ring, and supporting the upper edge of the flower pot with the ring. .
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Stepped flower pot shelves are convenient when the number of pots is not very large, but as the number of pots increases, it is necessary to install several shelves, which are heavy, bulky, and expensive. It is inconvenient to store the shelves when they are not moved or used, and the cost increases as the number of pots increases. In addition, the plant pot shelf with a structure where the flower pot is placed on the shelf board is easy for pests such as licking lotus and dung beetle to enter the pot through the shelf board, especially when cultivating valuable wild grasses and medicinal herbs, It is difficult to remove this kind of pests that have invaded the pots when seedlings and stocks are being planted.
[0006]
On the other hand, when a flower pot is supported on the rung of the support frame using a hanger, it is possible to relatively easily prevent the entry of pests into the pot. However, a flower pot hanger requires one hanger per pot, and when the number of pots is large, it needs to be inexpensive and not bulky when stored. Moreover, even if the flower pot is of a size generally used, there are four sizes of No. 4 to No. 7 (the diameter of the pot is 13 cm to 19 cm). Since it is necessary to use a size that matches the size of the pot, for example, when changing the pot according to the growth of the plant, it is necessary to replace the hanger, and a very large number of hangers are required. There are drawbacks. Moreover, since the conventional flower pot hanger has a ring with dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the flower pot, a storage space when not in use is required to some extent , and the cost is not so low.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to obtain a flower pot hanger that is simple in structure and can be provided at low cost, and that is excellent in workability and storage ability that can hang a flower pot of various dimensions with one kind of hanger.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention includes a first member 1 that is provided with an outward downward hook 11 at an upper portion and an inward support claw 12 at an intermediate portion in an up and down direction, and an inward and downward hook 21 at an upper portion. by providing a flower pot hanger of a second member 2 which combined the direction slidably, it is obtained by solving the above problems.
[0009]
Claims in which the first member 1 and the second member 2 are formed by punching and bending a metal plate material, and the other is inserted into the slit-like through holes 22 and 23 provided above and below the slidable combination. The structure of Item 2 is easy to manufacture and excellent in practicality.
[0010]
The first member 1 and / or the second member 2 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and is most easily manufactured from a metal plate as in claim 2. For example, the first member is formed of square hooks. A structure in which the support claw 12 is screwed is also possible. When it is made of synthetic resin, it is necessary to select a material having weather resistance and high strength, but it is advantageous in terms of the point that rust does not occur and the cost for mass production.
[0011]
In addition to the structure according to claim 2, the structure in which the first member and the second member are slidably combined is, for example, the side of the other member is inserted into U-shaped grooves formed on both sides of one member. Structure etc. are possible. The hooks 11 and 21 and the claws 12 are most inexpensively formed integrally by bending or cutting, but may be provided by screws or welding.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a flower pot hanger according to the present invention. The flower pot hanger a is formed of a first member 1 and a second member 2 made of an iron plate. The first member 1 is bent in a U-shape with the upper end of a strip-shaped iron plate facing outward to form an outward downward hook 11, and on the inner side in the vertical direction, that is, the side on which the outward downward hook 11 is formed. It is the shape which welded the support nail | claw 12 which protrudes on the opposite side.
[0013]
The second member 2 is wider than the first member and is bent in an inverted U shape with the upper end of the iron plate having a shorter length facing inward to form an inward and downward hook 21, and the lower end is bent inward. This is a shape in which slit-like through holes 22 and 23 through which the first member 1 is inserted are provided at the root portion of the hook of the first member 1 and the root portion of the bent portion at the lower end. The support claws 12 are fixed by welding after the first member 1 is inserted into the through holes 22 and 23 of the second member.
[0014]
The tip side of the support claw 12 has a slightly concave arc shape, and the tip side of the inwardly downward hook 21 of the second member is curved in a slightly concave cylindrical surface in plan view, and its tip From the side to the side, it has a smooth curved edge without corners.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the flower pot hanger a having the above-described structure is configured such that the hook 11 is hooked on the horizontal rail b made of a strip or shape steel provided on the support shelf 32 or the wall surface, and the support claw 12 is attached to the hook of the flower pot c. With the second member 2 pulled down while being hooked on the step 31 at the lower end of d, the upper edge of the flower pot c is locked by the inward-facing hook 21 to hold the flower pot c.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 3, when a support shelf 32 in which a plurality of strips or steel shapes b are mounted in a staircase shape, a large number of flowerpots can be held in the same form as placed on a staircase flowerpot shelf. The flower pot hanger according to the present invention has a structure that supports the whole flower pot by locking the flower pot collar d at one place on its circumference, so there is no need to replace the hanger even if the size of the flower pot changes. The flowerpot can be removed or replaced by a simple operation of supporting the hand and pulling up the second member.
[0017]
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The support claw 12 of the first embodiment is formed by cutting and raising, and the inwardly downward hook 21 of the second member 2 is divided into left and right, It is the structure which provided the space which the support nail | claw 12 can pass in the center. The structure of the second embodiment does not require a welding process, and the first member and the second member can be combined or separated at any time.
