Abstract
This invention automatically rotates the plant pot so that all sides of the plant get even sunlight over the course of a day or week, without any manual intervention. This helps the plant grow more straight rather than bend on one side towards the sun.
Claims
1. An apparatus, comprising a pot suitable to hold a plant; a rotatable disc underneath said pot; a base structure supporting said pot and disc; and a motor that causes said disc and pot to rotate at a predetermined, adjustable speed on top of the base structure.
Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1. Plant pot with four legs.
[0008] FIG. 2. View from the bottom of the plant pot with four legs.
[0009] FIG. 3. Base structure with a motor situated inside the base structure.
[0010] FIG. 4. Motor output shaft spinning the disc on the base structure, with four cavity grooves on the disc.
[0011] FIG. 5. Plant pot attached on top of the base structure with the pot's legs inserted into the cavity grooves of the disc.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The present invention comprises a plant pot with a mechanism that allows the pot to automatically rotate based on a preset rotational speed.
[0013] The invention will now be described by reference to the Figures.
[0014] FIG. 1 shows a plant pot with four legs. The pot 101 can be of any diameter and depth. The four legs 102 reside at the bottom of the plant pot. The plant 103 is situated inside the pot.
[0015] FIG. 2 shows a view from the bottom of the plant pot 201 with four legs 202 and the plant 203.
[0016] FIG. 3 shows the base structure. The base structure 301 supports the plant pot. A motor output shaft 302 is situated inside the base structure.
[0017] FIG. 4 shows the motor output shaft spinning the disc. The motor output shaft 401 spins the disc 402 situated above the base structure 403. The disc houses four cavity grooves 404.
[0018] FIG. 5 shows the plant pot 501 attached on top of the base structure 502, with the pot's legs 503 inserted into the cavity grooves 504 of the disc 505. As the pot rotates, the legs inserted into cavity grooves help to keep the pot stable as it rotates around. The motor 506 resides inside the base structure.
