Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented invention is to create a simpler and easier way to make and buy lighting systems for hangers without requiring electricity from outside sources. It's also possible to attach them to various types of planter designs and have a mechanism to change their position within the plane itself. This means that these new devices may work better if they were installed properly.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a problem where it was previously hard to install a solar powered illumination device for use indoor hanging plantings like rose-flower plants. Prior art solutions involve purchasing two separate components - a planter and an illuminator attachment. These costs make it challenging to convert between different types of lights without losing any value. Additionally, previous designs may only work with specific types of planters, making it necessary to purchase multiple versions of these devices if they can be adapted to different types of garden lights.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]With reference to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional hanging flower planter 10 with a frustoconical-shaped body 12, a rim 14 defining an opening to an interior space that is filled with soil 16 in which are planted flowers 18a, 18b or the like. The planter 10 has hanging wires 22a, 22b, 22c that are preferably arranged 120° apart and which come together at the joint location 23 where they are affixed to the bottom 24 of a hanging hook 20 which has a bottom, and a stem 26.

[0022]Referring to FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c, the lighting apparatus 30 has a generally disc-shaped body 32 with a central opening 34, a sloping skirt 35, and an array of downwardly directed LEDs 36.

[0023]As seen in FIG. 2b, the LEDs 36 of the lighting apparatus 30 may be distributed on a bottom surface around the opening 34. The opening 34 may be surrounded by a circular wall 38 which threadedly supports a pair of tightening bolts 60, each with a screw head 62 and a holding block 64. A complementary struc

Abstract

A solar-powered lighting/illumination fixture for hanging flower planters or potted flowers comprises a body that can be affixed through a central opening or the like to the hanging hardware of the planter. The lighting fixture has solar cells that charge internal batteries during daylight hours and drive lights that illuminate the planter during nighttime hours. The fixture can also be affixed with a spoke that will allow it to be supported in the ground to provide pathway lighting. The lighting is provided through LEDs which also may accommodate light filters that can provide different colors to change the mood of the setting, as well as being provided with an adapter to fit most hanging planters in the market and also provided with an attaching mechanism that allows the height of the lighting fixture above the planter to be adjusted.
