Atmospherically watered planter

An atmospherically watered planter comprising:

• a housing comprising a front compartment, the front compartment having a base, an open top, and a front surface comprising a perforated area;
• the housing further having a rear compartment comprising an open container configured to receive a plant and a wall which forms a watertight seal between the front and rear compartments with the exception of an opening in a lower end thereof which enables water transmission between the front and rear compartments;
• a cover configured to close the open top of the front compartment while leaving the rear compartment open to receive a plant, the cover having a plurality of apertures formed therein through which air can be expelled from the front compartment into the atmosphere surrounding the planter;
• wherein the front compartment of the housing contains a water generating device located above a water tray, the water tray being positioned above and spaced apart from the base of the front compartment;
• wherein the water tray has a bottom surface angled downwardly and otherwise configured so as to achieve gravity feed through the tray of all water received by it;
• wherein the water generating device comprises a Peltier device, a fan, and a plurality of cold sink fins, the water generating device being configured to draw air through the perforated area of the housing so as to contact the cold sink fins and to expel the air out through the plurality of apertures formed in said cover and into the atmosphere surrounding the planter, such that water condenses on the cold sink fins and flows downwardly by gravity into said water tray, the downward angle of the bottom surface of the water tray thereafter causing the water to flow by gravity feed through the water tray and then through the opening in the lower end of said wall and into said container configured to receive a plant.

An atmospherically watered planter comprising:

• a housing having a front compartment and a rear compartment and a wall separating the front compartment from the rear compartment, the front compartment having an open top and the rear compartment comprising a container configured to receive a plant, the wall having an opening in a lower end thereof, the housing further having a front surface comprising a perforated area;
• a water tray positioned in the front compartment of the housing and positioned by a plurality of legs above a bottom surface of the front compartment,
• the water tray further having a bottom surface configured to conduct all water received by the tray downwardly through the tray by gravity feed, and further configured to communicate with the opening in the lower end of the wall;
• a cover closing the open top of the front compartment and having a plurality of apertures formed therein through which air can be expelled out of the front compartment and into the atmosphere surrounding the planter;
• a water generating device located in said front compartment above the water tray and comprising a Peltier device, a fan, and a plurality of cold sink fins, the water generating device being configured to draw air into the front compartment through the perforated area of the housing so as to contact the cold sink fins and to expel the air out of the front compartment through the plurality of apertures in said cover and into the atmosphere surrounding the planter, such that water condenses on the cold sink fins and flows by gravity into said water tray and such that the water thereafter flows by gravity feed over the bottom surface of the water tray and then through the opening in the lower end of said wall and into said container configured to receive a plant;
• and
• a display unit mounted in said cover and comprising a numeric display and a control button, both configured to cooperate with an electronic control unit to set a time interval during which the water generating device is operational to generate water.
