Configuration of flower pots

The present invention concerns an improvement in the configuration of flower pots, and, more particularly, a flower pot with a novel design for allowing said flower pot to be moved easily for purposes such as allowing the plant to be exposed to more sunlight and facilitating rearrangement. The flower pot pertaining to the present invention is characterized by the fact that the bottom of the flower pot fabricated by molding is equipped with a supporting assembly, that the upper part thereof corresponds to the rim of the bottom of the flower pot, forming a concave unit, that said concave unit is equipped with drain holes of an appropriate size, and that said supporting assembly possesses a water-collection tray that can be drawn out to facilitate the employment thereof.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
Background--Field of Invention 
The flower pot pertaining to the present invention is equipped with castors 
and a water-collection tray with which the flower pot can be turned for 
purposes such as allowing the plant to be exposed to more sunlight and 
excess water can be removed readily. 
Background--Prior Art 
People living in cities, who often lack time and opportunities to enjoy 
nature, like flowers and house plants, because they help relieve the 
stresses of today's urban living. The popularity of house plants can also 
be contributed by the fact that the house plant industry has become 
increasingly sophisticated, resulting in the availability of more 
varieties of house plants, including some that had been growing only in 
the wild. Consequently, house plants can be commonly seen in city 
dwellings, which is desirable in terms of improving urban environment and 
providing pleasure to people. However, conventional flower pots are 
typically designed to be stationary, which is problematic in that they 
cannot be moved readily for purposes such as allowing the plant to be 
exposed to more sunlight, etc. This problem becomes even more apparent 
when the plant is large and heavy or the owner is an elderly person with 
some physical problems. Specifically, conventional flower pots are subject 
to the following drawbacks that need to be addressed: 
1. Conventional flower pots are designed to be stationary, which is 
problematic in that they cannot be moved readily, particularly when the 
owner is an elderly person or person with physical handicaps. 
2. The fact that conventional flower pots cannot be moved easily also 
causes house cleaning to be difficult, resulting in an untidy living 
environment that attracts insects and mosquito. 
3. Since conventional flower pots are designed to be stationary, moving 
them requires effort and time, which is undesirable. 
4. Due to limited spaces, it is also difficult for typical households and 
small shops to rearrange their house plants by employing automatic 
electric flower pot rollers as an attempt to solve the aforementioned 
problems pertaining to conventional flower pots. 
5. The aforementioned problems pertaining to conventional flower pots 
become even more severe when the water-collection tray is full. 
Furthermore, the heavy flower pot has to be moved in order to be able to 
decant the excess water from the water-collection tray. 
Objectives and Merits 
The principal objective of the present invention is to present an 
improvement in the configuration of flower pots, which is characterized by 
the fact that the bottom of the flower pot fabricated by molding is 
equipped with a supporting assembly, that the upper part thereof 
corresponds to the rim of the bottom of the flower pot, forming a concave 
unit, that said concave unit is equipped with drain holes of an 
appropriate size, and that said supporting assembly possesses a 
water-collection tray that can be drawn out to facilitate the employment 
thereof. 
The other principal objective of the present invention is to present an 
improvement in the configuration of flower pots, which is characterized by 
the fact that threaded holes of an appropriate size are formed directly at 
the bottom of the flower pot during the fabrication thereof by injection 
molding, thereby allowing the installation of screw-in castors or 
supporting legs to facilitate moving the flower pot and performing 
housecleaning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of the flower pot 1 pertaining to the 
present invention fabricated by molding is equipped with a supporting 
assembly 11, the upper part thereof corresponds to the rim of the bottom 
of the flower pot 1, forming a concave unit 12, said concave unit 12 is 
equipped with drain holes 13 of an appropriate size, and said supporting 
assembly 11 possesses a water-collection tray 14 that can be drawn out to 
facilitate the employment thereof. Another practical value of the 
configuration of the flower pot 1 pertaining to the present invention is 
that the drain water, which contains fertilizer, in the water-collection 
tray 14 can be poured back to the flower pot 1 for reusing. 
Moreover, threaded holes 15 of an appropriate size are formed directly at 
the bottom of the flower pot 1 during the fabrication thereof by injection 
molding, thereby allowing the installation of screw-in castors 2 or 
supporting legs 3 to facilitate moving the flower pot and performing 
housecleaning. In addition, the castor 2 can be equipped with a stop 21, 
thereby allowing the flower pot to become stationary. Accordingly, the 
objectives of the present invention, which is novel and possesses 
practical values, are achieved. 
In summary, the present invention possesses the following merits: 
1. The flower pot pertaining to the present invention can be moved readily 
and without efforts. Even an elderly person or person with physical 
handicaps can manage moving said flower pot. 
2. The fact that the flower pot pertaining to the present invention can be 
moved easily facilitates housecleaning, thereby promoting a tidy living 
environment that does not attract insects and mosquito. 
3. The flower pot pertaining to the present invention, which can be 
rearranged easily with minimal efforts, is particularly suitable for use 
in typical households and small shops. 
4. Due to space limitation and cost, it is difficult for typical households 
and small shops to rearrange their house plants by employing automatic 
electric flower pot rollers as an attempt to solve the aforementioned 
problems pertaining to conventional flower pots. The problems relating to 
space limitation and cost can be solved by using the flower pot pertaining 
to the present invention. 
5. The water-collection tray pertaining to the present invention, which is 
placed in a supporting assembly formed during the fabrication of the 
flower pot by molding, can be drawn out to facilitate the employment of 
said tray, with which excess water can be removed quickly with minimal 
efforts. 
The preceding description illustrates the principal features of the present 
invention. However, the present invention is not defined by the above 
description alone, but by the scope of the appended claim.
