Plant growing assist device

Abstract

A new plant growing assist device, comprising a container, a separator in the middle of the container dividing the container into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part keeps the soil for planting, and the lower part to acts as a water reservoir. The bottom of the container is provided with a snorkel, around the snorkel there is a buckle which is used to connect the snorkel with a raw water pipe. The device allows for rain water and surface vapor which would otherwise evaporate into the air to condense and be returned to the soil for plant use. The several through holes of the separator ensure proper ventilation; the monitoring window makes it possible to observe the water level inside the reservoir, the top of the container is covered to prevent water evaporation, and out-extending holes are provided to allow the roots to extend outside.

Claims

1. A device to assist in the growing of plants, the device comprising: a container; a separator located in the middle of the container, wherein the separator possesses a raised center and includes a plurality of through holes to increase the permeability of the container, the separator dividing the container into two parts comprising: an upper part, wherein a soil for planting is located in the upper part further comprising: a top plate, wherein the top plate covers the soil and is made of two rectangular pieces, each piece having a half circular section in a center of the piece to create a circle when each piece is placed together to allow a plant to pass through; and a lower part, wherein the lower part is configured to act as a water reservoir; a snorkel located at a bottom of the container, wherein a buckle connects the snorkel to a raw water pipe, the raw water pipe comprising: a top cover; and a plurality of vent holes underneath the top cover; a monitoring window located near the bottom of the container to observe a water level inside the water reservoir; and a plurality of holes located along a wall of the container to allow a root of the plant to extend outside of the container; wherein a vapor of the soil located in the bottom of the container is configured to reach the soil at a top of the separator through the snorkel such that the vapor turns into water droplets when the vapor reaches the top cover of the raw water pipe and flows through the raw water pipe into the water reservoir with the top cover preventing the direct backflow of water into the snorkel.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the raw water pipe is a shape selected from the group consisting of: square and circle.

(4) FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the Raw Water Pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) the following is a detailed description with reference to the Drawing.

(6) As illustrated in FIG. 1, the new plant growing assist device, comprises a container (1), a separator (2) in the middle of the container dividing the container into two parts, the upper part keeps the soil for planting (10), the lower part acts as a water reservoir (4), a snorkel (5a) is located in the bottom of the container, a buckle (6) positioned around this snorkel (5a) which is used to connect the snorkel with the raw water pipe (5), a top plate (11) covering the upper part of the container, a monitoring window (7) near the bottom of the container, out-extending holes (12) in the walls of the container for the roots to extend outside.

(7) As illustrated in FIG. 2, the top plate (11) is made of two combined rectangular pieces, the centers of the rectangular pieces, respectively, have half-circular sections, when the two are placed together they make a full circle, which is provided for the plant to pass through the top plate, the top plate (11) has hanging corners in each of its four sides which are to be inserted into the soil

(8) As illustrated in FIG. 3 there are several through holes (21) in the separator (2), which greatly increase the permeability of the container, the separator (2) has a raised center (22) which makes it easy to pick-up and place the separator, the four corners of the separator (2) have shoulders (3) which help fix the separator inside the container.

(9) as illustrated in FIG. 4, the raw water pipe (5), be it square pipe or circular pipe, has a top cover (9) with vent holes (8) underneath.

(10) the water vapor of the dirt in the bottom of the container (1), can reach to the dirt in the top of the separator (2) through the snorkel (5a) so as to maintain the soil moisture. The water vapor turns into water droplets when the water vapor hits the top cover (9) and the water droplets flow through the raw water pipe into the water reservoir (4), the cover (9) is to prevent direct backflow of water into the snorkel (5a). The monitoring Windows (7) can be used to observe the water level when the device is used indoors, the top plate (11) is used to cover the container (1) to prevent water evaporation into the air.

(11) The example of the device shown here is a circular one, but the device is not limited to the circular shape, the device can be a square shape, a rhomboid or other shapes to suit the needs of different terrain. The device can be used for indoor and outdoor planting. The device can also serve as a means of desalination for the water of the desert and the oceans.

(12) The above explained and illustrated are only preferred embodiments of this invention, it should be noted that: those of ordinary skill in the field, on the premises that they follow the principles of this invention, can make a number of improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications shall also be considered within the scope of protection.
