DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile planter and a water receiving tank.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, horticultural planters for growing flowers and the like are installed in sunny places. In addition, many elderly and physically handicapped people who live in nursing homes or facilities for the physically handicapped are interested in flowers. These people look forward to seeing the flower beds and flowers planted in the garden, and the well-groomed elderly care for them every day.

[0003] However, when the elderly or physically handicapped in a wheelchair tries to care for the flowers planted in the flowerbed and the flowers planted in the planter, the planter is floor-standing and low in height. If you lean forward while riding, you may lose your balance and fall. To prevent this, the caregiver had to support the body and the burden was great, so elderly people in wheelchairs could not directly touch the flowers. Bedridden residents can view the plants by placing a potted plant beside the bed, but the caregiver must put a heavy planter in the room in order to view the many flowers that have grown naturally on the planters installed outdoors. It had to be carried, which was impossible in reality.

[0004] Potted plants are often grown indoors in homes and offices, not limited to nursing homes and facilities for the physically handicapped, but depending on the type and timing of the flowers, it may be better to shine sunlight. . In such a case, the potted plant with the soil is about 5 to 10 kg in weight and heavy, it is troublesome to move, and when watering, the water is carried to the place where the pot is placed, It was troublesome when there were many.

[0005] In addition, a water tank for tropical fish and the like placed indoors is often far from the tap water, and when exchanging water in the water tank, it is troublesome to transport and drain the water.
In addition, when camping at an outdoor drainage facility, the water used for cooking can be transported in a plastic tank or the like, but it is troublesome to treat the wastewater after use.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a movable planter, which is a water tank 3 placed on a wagon 2 and a horticultural soil 4 is put therein to form a planter 5. The wagon 2 has a support frame 6
Are provided with disassembled legs 7, and casters 8 can be attached to the lower ends thereof for movement.

The water receiving tank 3 has concave portions 10 formed on both side surfaces along the longitudinal direction. At the bottom of the water receiving tank 3, a sawboard 11 made of plastic is provided as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and a drainage space 12 is formed at the bottom. In addition, a sand net 15 is laid on the upper part of the snowboard 11, and horticultural soil 4 is placed on the net 13.
Is packed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a drain port 14 is attached to the bottom of the water receiving tank 3, and a drain hose 15 is connected thereto. A water stop cock 16 is attached to the tip of the drain hose 15, and the water stop cock 16 is detachably locked to a locking portion 17 mounted on the wagon 2. A planter 5 filled with horticultural soil 4 in this receiving tank 3
Is planted with flowers 18. Reference numeral 19 denotes a handrail mounted on the upper part of the wagon 2 in an inverted U shape, around which a non-slip rubber tube 20 is mounted.

[0011] The mobile planter having the above-mentioned configuration is planted with flowers 18 in the planter 5 at a nursing home, for example, and is placed outdoors in the sun. On a sunny day, as shown in FIG. 4, a caregiver pushes a wheelchair 21 on which an elderly person 22 rides and pushes the wheelchair 21 to the mobile planter 1, and the wheelchair 21 is recessed.
Put it under the mobile planter 1 from 10 and lock the wheels. Since the front side of the body enters the planter 5, the elderly person 22 can reach for the flowers 18 over a wide area by reaching.

As described above, the concave portions 10 of the planter 5 are
As shown in the figure, four places can be maintained at the same time by four people. In addition, since the work is performed on the table while sitting in the wheelchair 21, there is no danger of falling. Further, since the handrail 19 is attached, the handrail 19 can be grasped here, and does not require the help of a caregiver. Also, when water is excessively used, remove the distal end of the drain hose 15 from the locking portion 17 and turn it downward as shown in FIG.
Opening 16 allows drainage of the water remaining in the space 12 of the mushroom 11 and prevents root rot.

On a bad weather day or when there is an elderly person 22 who cannot get on the wheelchair 21, the mobile planter 1
