STRUCTURE OF ROOM-AND-YARD VERTICAL BED Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01G9/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device contains separate sections disconnectable to each other. The sections are equipped with holes with the possibility of planting and watering. The device is additionally provided with a base at the bottom of which at least two bulges-feet of trays with a funnel and an axial rod, are symmetrically located. The sections are made in the form of cassettes. The surface area of the base is larger than cassettes connected with the latter of 10 - 30 cm for providing stability. In the center of the base the threaded hole is located for installation of the axial rod and a round groove for connecting with an axial rod with thread. The thread is located at the bottom of the axial rod and a washer jumper to support the tray. At its top the axial rod has an open upper threaded hole for connection of the next axial rod. In the center of the cassette there is a hollow tubular hole which diameter is 0.5-0.7 mm larger than outer diameter of the axial rod for connection of the axial rod with a cassette. In the wall of the cassette there are at least two symmetrically located through holes for planting. The tray is made in the form in accordance with the cassette with projecting, rigidly mounted plates with the possibility of simultaneous execution of the cassette lid and a tray for loading water and solutions. Inside the tray the distribution plates are installed, one of which is installed in front of the funnel for equable distribution of water or solutions into the holes; and the latter are made with the possibility of location over the roots of plants for a uniform spreading of water directly to roots. On the inside working plane of the tray in the central part a hollow tubular hole is made which diameter is 0.5-0.7 mm larger than the outer diameter of the axial rod for connection to the next axial rod.

EFFECT: design has compactness, ease of maintenance and manufacturing.
