- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a compact plant enclosing device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the base portion of the present invention.
- the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a compact plant enclosing device which is particularly adapted for complete growth and display of a limited number of plants which are small in stature and require minimal volume, although this design, if enlarged in scale to any size, would accomodate any plant size or number of plants.
- the preferred compact plant enclosing device is illustrated in an exploded perspective view in Fig. 1 and is designated by the general reference character 10.
- the plant enclosing device 10 includes three major components.
- the first and largest component is a base portion 12, which will be the bottom portion of the device 10 in most usable orientations.
- Above the base portion 12 is an intermediate portion which will be referred to herein as an insert 14.
- the insert 14 is adapted to mate with, and fit into, the base portion 12.
- Completing the structure of the plant enclosing device 10 is a cap portion 16 which fits over the top surface of the insert portion 14 to form an enclosed volume.
- the base portion 12 is a generally tubular element, shown to have a substantially rectangular cross section in Fig. 1, which is closed at the bottom and open to the top.
- the lowermost component of the base portion 12 is a base floor 18, which is a substantially planar element which is provided with a plurality of drainage apertures 20.
- Integrally formed with the base floor 18 is a vertical enclosing base wall 22 which is open to the top by way of a top opening 23.
- the base floor 18 and the vertical enclosing base wall 22 define a substantially enclosed nutrient chamber, 24.
- the nutrient chamber 24, the interior of the base portion 12, provides a receptacle in which nutrient material, such as dirt or compost, may be placed within the base portion 12.
- the drainage apertures 20 provide a means for excess moisture to exit the nutrient chamber 24 and thus helps to prevent overwatering and undesirable decay.
- the structure of the vertical enclosing base wall 22 includes a front base wall 25, a left base wall 26, a rear base wall 28 and a right base wall 30. Each of these vertical wall portions is substantially planar and the interface between adjacent base wall portions is in the form of a curved corner 32.
- a restraining ridge 34 is formed on the interior surface of the vertical enclosing base wall 22 to serve the dual purposes of preventing excess sliding of the insert 14 into the base portion 12, and further to provide a guide to the user as to the amount of nutrient to place within the base 12. It is noted that in Fig. 1 the components of the base portion 12 are illustrated as being transparent.
- the transparency is not a necessary element of the base portion 12.
- the insert 14 is adapted to fit within the base 12.
- the nature of the interface is best understood in the cross sectional view of Fig. 2.
- the shape of the insert 14 has a cross section similar to that of the base 12 but of slightly smaller dimensions so that it slidably fits within the base 12.
- the insert 14 includes an insert floor 36 which is substantially planar but includes, as integrally molded portions thereof, a plurality of grow tubes 38 each of which ends at a grow tube aperture 40 flush with the insert floor 36 and extends downward therefrom. In the preferred embodiment, four distinct circular cross-section grow tubes 38 are provided.
- the remainder of the structure of the insert 14 is provided by a vertical enclosing insert wall 42 which has an upper opening 44. Together, the vertical enclosing insert wall 42 and the insert floor 36 enclose a growth chamber 46 which is open to the top. In use, the growth chamber 46 will not have any material placed therein but will provide a volume in which the plants can grow and expand.
- the structure of the vertical enclosing insert wall 42 includes a front insert wall 48, a left insert wall 50, a rear insert wall 52 and a right insert wall 54. Each of these walls is a substantially planar element which integrally mates with the insert floor 36. The intefaces between of the insert walls 48, 50, 52 and 54 are in the form of tapered corners 55. The upper edges of the insert walls, adjacent to the upper opening 44, are provided with a rim 56 which extends outward beyond the walls 48, 50, 52 and 54. The rim 56 is adapted to abut against the upper edges of the base walls 25, 26, 28 and 30 when the insert 14 is inserted within the base 12. The rim 56 and the restraining ridge 34 provide means for appropriately spacing the elements.
- the cap portion 16 of the device 10 provides the final enclosing element.
- the cap portion in the preferred embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 is shaped substantially like a loaf of bread and has a hollow interior. Its structure includes a cap roof 58 which is substantially planar and a vertical enclosing cap wall 60 which terminates at its lower end at a cap opening 62. Together, the cap roof 58 and the vertical enclosing cap wall 60 define a hollow cap chamber 64.
- the structure of the vertical enclosing cap wall 60 includes a front cap wall, a left cap wall 68, a rear cap wall 70 and a right cap wall 72, all of which adjoin with each other and with the cap roof 58 at curved interfaces 74.
- the cap walls 66, 68, 70 and 72 are provided with aeration apertures 76. These provide avenues for the free flow of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen into and out of the growth chamber 46 and moderate humidity levels in the cap chamber 64 when the cap portion 16 is in place.
- the interior of the vertical enclosing cap wall 60 is also provided with a circumferential stop ridge 78 which prevents the cap 16 from being forced too far over the top of the insert 14. The stop ridge 78 will mate with the rim 56 to prevent excess sliding.
- this cap - on the bottom - can and could not only act as a water "catch” and aeration device but also with the addition of small tubes down in the water from the interior of the container - it would act also as a root watering method by capilary perculation. Some holes in the base would have these tiny tubes in them, some would be open for drainage and aeration.
- an alternate cap portion 116 is also shown in phantom in Fig. 1 .
- the alternate cap portion 116 is identical to the preferred cap portion 16 except that it does not include any aeration apertures 76.
- the advantage of the alternate cap portion 116 is that it may be utilized as a moisture trap when it is attached to the bottom of the base portion 12. This attachment will be a sliding mating similar to the manner in which the cap 16 fits over the insert 14. This use as a moisture trap may be desirable in growth or display situations where it would be unacceptable to have any drippage or other leakage of moisture from the nutrient chamber.
- the alternate cap portion 116 When attached to the bottom of the base portion 12 the alternate cap portion 116 will capture any liquid or other material which may exit through the drainage apertures 20.
- cap roof 58 is a flat element so "that it will be possible to balance the entire device 10 on the alternate cap portion 116, as opposed to the normal balance on the base floor 18, if it is wished to stand the device 10 on a flat surface.
- Another alternate element which is shown on Fig. 1 is an attachment fixture 80 which is shown as formed on the exterior surface of the rear base wall 28.
- the attachment fixture 80 which may be of any particular structure but which is shown as a multipurpose slotted fixture, is desirable to allow the device 10 to be placed upon a wall or a window. It is envisioned that well known attachment devices such as hooks or suction cups may be inserted within the attachment fixture 80 and utilized to secure the device 10 to a particular vertical surface or hanging element.
- FIG. 3 shows, in a perspective view similar to that of Fig. 1, an alternate base portion 312.
- Most of the elements of the alternate base portion 312 are identical to those of the perferred base portion 12 but there are some differences.
- Elements which retain the same characteristics as in the preferred embodiment will not be assigned different reference numerals and those which serve the same purpose but are slightly different will be assigned numbers which are equivalent to the prior reference numeral but with three hundred added thereto. New elements will be assigned reference numerals beginning with three and having new suffixes.
- the alternate base floor 318 is solid and does not have any apertures formed therethrough. Instead, a plurality of fluid passage apertures 382 are provided on the alternate front base wall 325 near the bottom thereof.
- a fluid trough 384 is attached to the lower front portion of the alternate front base wall 325.
- the fluid trough 384 includes a trough floor 386 which is coplanar with the base floor 318.
- the structure of the trough further includes a front trough wall 388, a left trough wall 390 and a right trough wall 392, which together with the lower portion of the alternate front base wall 325 and the trough floor 386 define a trough cavity 394 which is accessible from above through a trough opening 396.
- the trough 384 is a water tight container which may serve either of two purposes.
- the trough 384 may be utilized to contain fluid which is then delivered into the nutrient chamber 324 through the fluid passage apertures 382.
- the nutrients contained in the alternate nutrient chamber 324 may absorb water and additional solable nutrients from the trough 384 and by wicking action deliver these to the roots of the plant.
- the trough 384 may start out in an empty state and serve as a receptacle for excess fluid in the nutrient chamber which will drain into the trough 384 through the fluid passage apertures 382.
- the trough 384 serves a purpose similar to that of the alternate cap portion 116 when it is placed below the drainage apertures 20 on the preferred embodiment 10.
- the trough 384 also serves as an additional buttress to balance the device 10 when set upon a flat surface.
- alternate cap portion 116 is illustrated without aeration aperatures 76 it is readily understood that the preferred cap 26 will also function effectively for essentially the same purposes.
- the original cap 16 it is only necessary to make certain that the seepage water level does not reach the level of the apertures 76. This usage may even have advantages in that it permits air flow into the nutrient aperture from the bottom, through the drainage apertures 20.
- Another possible application which might be adopted in circumstances when either the cap 16 or the alternate cap 116 is utilized on the bottom of the base portion 12 is to provide for capillary watering.
- One or more of the drainage apertures might be provided with a narrow tube, serving the purpose of a dranking straw, which extends downward into the liquid setting in the cap portion 16. Capillary percolation action would then draw the liquid up into the nutrient chamber and provide a root watering system.
- only some of the drainage apertures 20 could be provided with tubes in order to allow the parallel air flow that permits the capillairy action to occur.
- the preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown as having a generally rectangular lateral cross section with rounded corners, this shape is not critical to the function. Almost any shape which provides a viable chamber for the nutrients and an additional viable chamber for the growth of the plant will be appropriate.
- the slidability is a natural result of having the shapes of the base portion 12 and the insert 14 be congruent. The particular shape selected is desirable because of its balance and stability and because it allows a broad visual perspective of both the nutrient chamber and the growth chamber.
- the dimensions of the device 10 may be adjusted as desired for the particular types of plants to be utilized and the space considerations.
- the depth of width-thickness of the nutrient chamber will be adjustable depending on the root requirements of the plants and the size of the growth chamber may be adjusted dependent on the leaf and bloom size.
- the preferred embodiment described is adapted for use of a very small plant such as a pygmy violet and is sized so as to fit within an ordinary shirt pocket.
- the dimensions are as follows:
- the base element 12 will have a height of 11.6 cm (4.6 in), a width of 7.5 cm (3.0 in), and a depth of 3.6 cm (1.3 in) with the stop ridge 78 being situated 1.6 cm (0.6 in) below the upper opening 44.
- the insert has a height of 1.8 cm (0.7 in), a width
- the cap portion 16 has a height of 2.5 cm (1.0 in), a width of 7.8 cm (3.1 in), and a depth of 4.0 cm (1.6 in).
- the aeration apertures 76 each have a
- the fluid trough 384 has a height of 5.0 cm
- the structural material is plexiglass or acrylic having a thickness of 0.3 cm
- the preferred embodiment 10 is shown as having four distinct grow tubes 38 but the number and spacing are a matter of choice.
- the separation between the central 20 axes of each of the tubes 38 is 1.7 cm (0.7 in) .
- Other numbers, diameters and depths of grow tubes 38 may be utilized depending on the plants to be planted in the device 10.
- the entire device 10 has been illustrated as being constructed of transparent plastic, this is not necessarily 25 required. It is generally desirable that the upper portion of the base 12, the insert 14 and the cap portion 16 be transparent to allow proper passage of sunlight or ultraviolet light for plant growth. It may also be desirable to have the remainder of the base portion 12 be transparent for observation of the root 30 system, to the extent that the nutrient medium makes this possible. Alternate materials, other than the transparent plastics shown in the preferred embodiment 10, may also be utilized. Glass or resinous materials may be substituted although they are not as desirable as they tend to be more
- the compact plant enclosing device 10 of the present invention will be useful both as a display, educational and a 0 research device. It is particularly useful for growing and displaying specified numbers of discrete plants, particularly those of small size, under controlled and observable conditions. It is also extremely desirable for use where space is at a premium.
- the device 10 will be utilized as follows. Once it has been determined which size and version of the device 10 is to be utilized for a given application the nutrient chamber 24 is filled with nutrients (such as ordinary soil) to a height of approximately 1.0 cm (0.4 in) below the level of the stop ridge
- the 30 portion 16 is then placed over the top of the insert 14, the device 10 is placed in sunlight or ultraviolet light, and the growth of the plant is awaited.
- the transportability of the device 10 permits the growth conditions to be readily and frequently modified, depending on the desire of the user. For example, if the attachment fixture 80 is provided with a suction cup, the entire device 10 may be
- the device may also be balanced on its base floor 18 or, in the alternate embodiment 312, on the trough floor 386 and the base floor 318. Additional water may be provided by removing the
- the water may be placed in the fluid trough 384 for absorbtion into the nutrient.
- the device is particularly appropriate for display of plants in that it may be set on its base, attached to a vertical surface
- the device is also particularly appropriate for research purposes in that plants may be grown under carefully controlled conditions and the development and growth of the plants may be readily observed.
- the transportability of the device enhances the research value as different growth conditions may be tested easily for specified time periods including possible future outer space, earth orbit or extraterrestrial environments, for research or food source and growth possibilities.
