ABSTRACT:
2. Background Art
It has been a conventional practice from old time to place on the streets, in the parks or the like flower pots in which flowers have been planted at a level which is a little lower than the level of human eyes to not only beautify the streets, parks or the like but also delight the eyes of pedestrians.
For this purpose, it has been general to plant flowers in flower pots with long legs or to place on the streets or in the parks a legged body comprising a lower seat and an upper tray having legs and to place on said tray flower pots in which flowers have been planted.
However, in either case, the flowers are planted simply in an ordinary flower pot so that there is a problem that the beauty of the flowers planted in the flower pot is spoiled considerably and hence the decoration effect is decreased because the exposed outer face of the flower pot is directly faced to the pedestrians when the flower pot is placed at the level nearly equal to the level of human eyes, and in the latter case, there is a problem that the flower pot can fall from the tray by strong winds, etc. and is broken.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
This invention has been made to eliminate said problems, and it is an object of this invention to provide a flower pot for group planting of flower plants or the like which is mounted on a pole and brings about advantages that the outer face of the flower pot is not exposed when the flower pot in which flowers have been planted is mounted on the upper part of a pole having a height nearly equal to the level of human eyes, and therefore, the beauty of the flowers planted in the flower pot is kept well and the decoration effect is increased, and that the flower pot is mounted securely on the pole and accordingly does not fall even when subjected to strong winds.
In order to eliminate said problems and to accomplish said object, this invention provides a flower pot for group planting of flower plants or the like which is mounted on a pole, comprising a flower pot body having planting openings of which upper part is opened and provided in a plurality of locations in the periphery of said body, and having a hole provided in the bottom of said body for inserting said pole; and a cylindrical mounting member for inserting the upper part of said pole, at least lower part of the bottom of said mounting member being opened and said mounting member being fixedly mounted vertically around said hole, and a flower pot for group planting of flower plants or the like which is mounted on a pole, comprising a flower pot body having planting openings of which upper part is opened and provided in a plurality of locations in the periphery of said body, and having a hole provided in the bottom of said body for inserting said pole; and a cylindrical mounting member for inserting the upper part of said pole, at least the bottom of said mounting member being opened and said mounting member being removably mounted vertically around said hole.
