Abstract

The plant cultivator has a circular planter mounted on rollers so that it is free to rotate when driven by an electric motor mounted in a raised space below the centre of the planter, and having an output gear train meshing with a ring gear fixed to the base of the planter. Additional staging for other plants may be fitted to the vertical column rising above the centre of the planter to support the light fittings. Incandescent lamps are used in lower and upper light shades which provide both decorative lighting effects and light to enable the plants to grow.

Description

L'invention concerne un appareil pour4a culture des plantes d' in- tèrieur , plus particulièrement conçu pour favoriser une croissance harmonieuse de celles-ci en éliminant leur tendance à s'orienter vers les fenêtres de l'apçartemtnt.  The invention relates to an apparatus for growing indoor plants, more particularly designed to promote harmonious growth thereof by eliminating their tendency to orient themselves towards the windows of the apartment.

L'un des problèmes les plus importants que l'on rencontre dans la culture des plantes d'interieur est celui d'une luminosité suffisante quyIfait défaut à beaucoup d'appartements. Même lorsque la lumière est suffisante (ce qui est rarement le cas), elle ne provient généralement que d'une seule direction - la fenêtre - ce qui accentue le phototropisme de la plante .De façon bien connue, ce phototropisme 6e caractérise par une orientation des organes de croissance de la plante vers la source lumineuse, c'est à dire la fenêtre. I1 en résulte généralement un déve- loppement tout à fait inesthétique des plantes d'intèrieur. L'appareil selon l'invention permet de résoudre ce probleme.  One of the most important problems encountered in the cultivation of indoor plants is that of sufficient light which is lacking in many apartments. Even when there is enough light (which is rarely the case), it generally only comes from one direction - the window - which accentuates the phototropism of the plant. In a well-known way, this 6th phototropism characterized by an orientation from the plant's growth organs to the light source, i.e. the window. This generally results in completely unsightly development of indoor plants. The apparatus according to the invention solves this problem.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne donc un appareil pour la culture des plantes d'intèrieur, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un bac à plantes monté tournant par rapport à un axe de symétrie sensi blement vertical et entraîné en rotation par un moteur électrique. More specifically, the invention therefore relates to an apparatus for the cultivation of indoor plants, characterized in that it comprises at least one plant container mounted to rotate relative to a substantially vertical axis of symmetry and driven in rotation by a electric motor.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation d'un appareil conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et fait en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :
- La figure unique est une vue en élévation et en coupe d'un appareil selon l'invention.
The invention will be better understood in the light of the following description of an embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with its principle, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawing in which:
- The single figure is an elevational view in section of an apparatus according to the invention.

Cet appareil comporte un socle 11 portant un axe vertical 12 autour duquel est agenry un bac 13 à plante admettant l'axe 12 comme axe de rotation. Plus précisément, le bac 13 repose sur des moyens de roulement constitues par des galets 14 portés par le socle 11 et il est pourvu d'un évidement cylindrique axial 15 traversé par l'axe 12. Le guidage en rotation est amélioré par une bague 16, formant palier, fixoeà la partie su pèrieure de l'évidement axial 15 du bac 13.Cet évidement axial 15 se prolonge à la partie infèrieure du bac par une cavité cylindrique abritant un moteur électrique 17 couplé à une cremaillère circulaire 18, solir aaire du bac 13, par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme à engrenages
A ce stade de la description , on conçoit aisément que le bac 13 est entraîné en rotation lente et permanente dès que le moteur 17 est alimenté.
This device comprises a base 11 carrying a vertical axis 12 around which is agenry a plant container 13 admitting the axis 12 as the axis of rotation. More specifically, the tank 13 rests on rolling means constituted by rollers 14 carried by the base 11 and it is provided with an axial cylindrical recess 15 crossed by the axis 12. The rotational guidance is improved by a ring 16 , forming a bearing, fixed to the upper part of the axial recess 15 of the container 13.This axial recess 15 is extended to the lower part of the container by a cylindrical cavity housing an electric motor 17 coupled to a circular rack 18, solair aaire du tray 13, by means of a gear mechanism
At this stage of the description, it is easily understood that the tank 13 is driven in slow and permanent rotation as soon as the motor 17 is powered.

Cette rotation permet d'éliminer le phototropisme des plantes cultivées dans le bac 13 quelle que soit la direction de la fenêtre par rapport au bac.This rotation makes it possible to eliminate the phototropism of the plants cultivated in the tank 13 whatever the direction of the window relative to the tank.

L'appareil peut être complété psr d 'autres bacs superposés, comme par exemple le bac 20 placé sur un support 21 placé à la partie supèrieure de l'axe 12. Le support 21 abrita des lis électriques 22 à sa partie infèrieure et forme un abat-jour pour celles-ci grace à une couronne latérale translucide 23. Les lampes 22 surplombent donc le bac 13 et fourniss2nt un éclairage d'appoint aux plantes qui s'y troent. Dans le même esprit, l'axe 12 est surmonté d'une t-ge 25 plus fine supportant à son extrémité supérieure un abat-jour d'intérieur 26 abritant des lampes electriques 2 . La tige 25 traverse un évidenent cylindrique axial du bac 20. Le support 21 de celuici pourrait parfaitement être monté tournant. I1 suffirait par exemple de le rendre solidaire non plus de l'arbre 12 mais d'un manchon entourant celuici et prolongeant la bague 16. The apparatus can be supplemented by other superimposed tanks, such as for example the tank 20 placed on a support 21 placed at the upper part of the axis 12. The support 21 housed electric lilies 22 at its lower part and forms a lampshade for these thanks to a translucent lateral crown 23. The lamps 22 therefore overhang the tank 13 and provide auxiliary lighting to the plants that are there. In the same spirit, the axis 12 is surmounted by a finer t-ge 25 supporting at its upper end an interior lampshade 26 housing electric lamps 2. The rod 25 passes through an obvious cylindrical axial container 20. The support 21 of this could perfectly be mounted rotating. It would suffice, for example, to make it no longer integral with the shaft 12 but with a sleeve surrounding it and extending the ring 16.

C'est dire que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation de l'appareil quiviert d'être decrit mais comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens mis en jeu Si ceux-ci le sont dans le cadre des revendications qui suivent.  In other words, the invention is not limited to the embodiment of the device which is to be described, but includes all the technical equivalents of the means involved. If these are in the context of the claims which follow .
