Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

[0060] By combining components, we are creating solutions for the abovementioned problems and thus creating new products that we will best explain and show in the following drawings.

Drawing No. 1/10

[0061] Drawing number 1/10 is showing a model from which it is apparent that the skeleton consists of a machine construction (2), meshes serving as supporting structures (3), flower pots (1), water tanks (4), connection to water supply (5), and, if possible, water filling holes (12), water purifiers (13), pump (6) by which the water is pumped into the irrigation system (9), sockets and plugs for electrical power connection (8), time switch-timer (7) or with advanced systems a computer (10) and a door (11).

By using machine construction, we achieve simple, stable structures where we can choose the height and the width and thus achieve great flexibility when the system must be integrated into the given space. Meshes have the possibility of lifting and lowering so they can adapt to flowerpot height which is placed on them. The water tank flexibly adapts to the space in which it is located by its volume and circumference. It has a built-in water supply and drain plug. Multiple tanks can be connected by means of a communicating vessels system to ensure the required amount of water for watering. When we have the possibility to connect to the water supply, filling is automatically switched on when the tank is drained and switched off when it is fully filled and if we do not have the possibility to connect to the water supply network a filling hole is installed. The pump is connected to the water tank and is powered with electric energy from the network (if possible) or from the solar system battery, and with the help of a time switch or a timer the time and length of watering through the irrigation system can be programmed. When we have the need for more complex systems the timer is replaced by a computer taking over the system management, collecting the necessary data and sending the information to the users.

Drawing No. 2/10

[0062] Showing how by applying and combining components from drawing no. 1/10 solutions in the given space of a cafe's terrace can be created. In such a combination, there is a pergola for climbing plants, diffuse lighting, seating area and advertising space, and the entire system is covered with wooden cladding for ventilated façades.

Drawing No. 3/10

[0063] Showing a flower bench where by using and combining components from drawing no. 1/10 we get a product that satisfies more functions on one balcony, which are the sitting and plant growing space from which we can irrigate other flowerpots on the balcony. In the winter months, flowerpots can be stored in a storage container and by choosing from a variety of exterior mask designs we can fit it into the desired space.

Drawing No. 4/10

[0064] Showing a balcony fencing that is an integrated part of the architecture and incorporates all the necessary components that provide the most favourable conditions for plant growing on the balconies which are also listed in the call signs.

Drawing No. 5/10

[0065] Showing a flowerpot supporting structure for windows consisting of a flexible structure (33), which is stretchable in length (32) thus achieving greater adaptability to various window dimensions. It is fixed to the window opening using clips (34). Flower pot mat with a drain hole on the top (24) is connected to drain hose (28) achieving that excess rainfall water does not flow on the fagade, from the distribution box (26) a draining hose (27) is connected to the irrigation system (9), fixing system (25) consisting of elastic strips and sliding wedges which are placed in the ground to fix the flower pots (1) to the structure using clips (34) which ensures that flower pots will not be thrown out of the structure during strong winds.

Drawing No. 6/10

[0066] Showing a system integrated into the architecture of the residential property in a way that the complete solution shown in the drawings no. 1/10 and 3/10 is built-in on the terrace enclosed by structures serving as flowerpot holders, on the windows there are flowerpot holders shown in the drawing no. 5/10. Below the façade lining, a channel system is installed in the distribution boxes (26) as shown in the drawing no. 7/10, through which the water supply hoses pass through (27) as well as for water drainage (28). Such a system allows controlled watering during the vegetation cycle while with the arrival of winter and low temperatures the system is discharged so that there is no freezing, and the window holders are detached not to keep the snow.

Drawing No. 8/10

[0067] Showing flower installation on a roundabout using a structure with all the necessary components installed as shown in the drawings no. 1/10 and 3/10 has a built-in solar power supply system, advertising space and signalling, lighting and a water fountain.

Drawing No. 9/10 and 10/10

[0068] Showing a flower installation for exteriors and interiors, e.g. parks, squares, shopping malls or other spaces. It is made of components shown in the drawings no. 1/10 and 3/10 which are built in an installation by combining components as shown in the drawing no. 9/10 to get an installation with seating space, power solar system, space for cascading flower pots and the lighting used in the exterior to illuminate space (19), while in the interior it compensates for the lack of natural light (19a) which plants need for growth and development. Drawing no. 10/10 is showing the layout of the drawing no. 9/10.
