Water level regulating plant container
View Patent ↗A water regulating plant container including a body having opposed side walls and opposed end walls terminating at a top edge in a rim and at a bottom edge by an inwardly directed flange extending from each opposed side wall. A raised bottom is carried by and coupled to the inwardly directed flanges and defines an underlying channel. The raised bottom has an aperture therethrough with a standing pipe extending upwardly from the raised bottom encircling the aperture. A tray is removably received by the channel under the raised bottom.
1. A water regulating plant container comprising:
a body having opposed side walls and opposed end walls terminating at a top edge in a rim and at a bottom edge by an inwardly directed flange extending from each opposed side wall;
the side walls and end walls define an interior volume for containing grow media;
a raised bottom carried by and coupled to the inwardly directed flanges, the raised bottom having an aperture therethrough and defining a channel underlying said raised bottom;
a standing pipe extending upwardly from the raised bottom encircling the aperture; and
a tray removably received by the channel underlying the raised bottom.
2. A container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the end walls terminate at a lower edge defining a slot for receiving the tray therethrough.
3. A container as claimed in claim 1 further including a stabilizer lid removably coupleable to the rim of the body, the lid defining an opening therein accessing the interior volume.
4. A container as claimed in claim 3 wherein the lid further includes a stabilizing receptacle coupled to the lid underlying the opening and carried within the interior volume for receiving and stabilizing objects passing through the opening.
5. A container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the standing pipe extends upwardly to a level co-extensive with a desired water level.
6. A container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the raised bottom includes a horizontal plate having opposing edges, and a generally perpendicular strip extending from each of the opposing edges, bounding the channel.
7. A water regulating plant container comprising:
a body having opposed side walls and opposed end walls terminating at a top edge in a rim and at a bottom edge by an inwardly directed flange extending from each opposed side wall, and a slot defined in a bottom edge of one of the opposed end walls;
a raised bottom carried by and coupled to the inwardly directed flanges, the raised bottom having a standing pipe extending upward therefrom and defining an outlet therethrough, the raised bottom defining a channel underlying the raised bottom and aligned with the slot formed in the one of the opposing end walls;
the side walls, end walls and raised bottom define an interior volume; and
a tray removably received by the channel and underlying the outlet.
8. A container as claimed in claim 7 wherein the other of the opposing end walls terminates at a lower edge defining a slot for receiving the tray therethrough.
9. A container as claimed in claim 7 further including a stabilizer lid removably coupleable to the rim of the body, the lid defining an opening therein accessing the interior volume.
10. A container as claimed in claim 9 wherein the lid further includes a stabilizing receptacle coupled to the lid underlying the opening and carried within the interior volume for receiving and stabilizing objects passing through the opening.
11. A container as claimed in claim 7 wherein the standing pipe extends upwardly to a level co-extensive with a desired water level.
12. A container as claimed in claim 7 wherein the raised bottom includes a horizontal plate having opposing edges, and a generally perpendicular strip extending from each of the opposing edges, bounding the channel.
13. A water regulating plant container comprising:
a body having opposed side walls and opposed end walls terminating at a top edge in a rim and coupled at a bottom edge to a raised bottom;
the raised bottom having a standing pipe extending upward therefrom and defining an outlet therethrough, the raised bottom defining a channel underlying the raised bottom and aligned with a slot formed in one of the opposing end walls;
the side walls, end walls and raised bottom define an interior volume; and
a tray removably received by the channel and underlying the outlet.
14. A container as claimed in claim 13 wherein the other of the opposing end walls terminates at a lower edge defining a slot for receiving the tray therethrough.
15. A container as claimed in claim 13 further including a stabilizer lid removably coupleable to the rim of the body, the lid defining an opening therein accessing the interior volume.
16. A container as claimed in claim 15 wherein the lid further includes a stabilizing receptacle coupled to the lid underlying the opening and carried within the interior volume for receiving and stabilizing objects passing through the opening.
17. A container as claimed in claim 13 wherein the standing pipe extends upwardly to a level co-extensive with a desired water level.
18. A container as claimed in claim 13 wherein the raised bottom includes a horizontal plate having opposing edges, and a generally perpendicular strip extending from each of the opposing edges, bounding the channel, the strips are coupled to flanges extending inwardly from the bottom edges of the side walls.
