Abstract
The invention concerns a fitting consisting of a part made of injected plastic for connecting a water tank (1) and a hollow cone (2) made of porous ceramics, so as to produce a device for dispensing water individually to plants, in particular potted plants, proximate to their roots, and in predetermined amount, comprising three coaxial parts; a disc-shape intermediate part (4) with a central hole (5); a part (A) consisting of one or two cylinders, arranged on one side of the disc (4) and designed to be permanently fixed to the cone (2); a part (B) consisting like part A of one or two cylinders bearing a thread on the inner surfaces, arranged on the other side of the disc (4) and capable of receiving a bottle (1) removably screwed.
Claims18
A plant watering device comprising:
- a cone formed from a porous material;
- said cone having a base defining a circumferential wall;
- and
- a fitting;
- said fitting comprising:
- an intermediate portion in form of a disc having an aperture at its center;
- said disc having a first surface and a second surface;
- a first portion comprising an unthreaded cylinder extending from the first surface of said disc;
- said cylinder and said cone base having respective diameters such that said cone is frictionally secured to said fitting cylinder;
- and
- a second portion comprising internally threaded cylinder extending from the disc second surface;
- said threaded cylinder being sized and the threads being shaped such that said threaded cylinder can be threadedly connected to a commercially available bottle.
A plant watering device comprising:
- a porous tip portion having a hollow base, the tip base having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- and
- a fitting;
- said fitting comprising:
- an intermediate portion in form of a disc having an aperture at its center;
- said disc having a first surface and a second surface;
- a first portion comprising a first member and a second member;
- said first member having an outer surface corresponding in size and shape to the tip base outer surface and said second member having an inner surface corresponding in size and shape to the base outer surface;
- whereby, said first and second members frictionally receive said tip base in a space defined by the first and second member;
- and
- a second portion comprising internally threaded cylinder extending from the disc second surface;
- said threaded cylinder being sized and the threads being shaped such that said threaded cylinder can be threadedly connected to a commercially available bottle.
