DE1962947A1 - Hinged plastic planter for potted flowers - Google Patents

Description

Description The innovation concerns a collapsible plastic cachepot for holding and optically embellishing potted flowers, known as a folding cachepot for short.

The well-known overpots that The general purpose is to cover the generally unsightly lower part of the pot flower, namely the plant pot, and to give the bugs a visually appealing image, all have the very significant disadvantage that they are absolutely stable in shape and therefore not in their size and shape the resulting space requirements are changeable. Since all known cachepots are also designed in such a way that they cannot be stacked in the mass and otherwise only very slightly - due to insufficient conicity or undercut - they prove to be very space-consuming, a moment that has a disadvantageous effect during transport and also during storage. This space requirement of the known cachepots also has a particularly negative effect in the flower trade insofar as the space in this branch is very cramped and there is space for both storage and sales of such pots is lacking.

According to the innovation, there is therefore a collapsible overpot suggested that when folded it was only a fraction of its original Size and accordingly takes up little space, so that means that the The folding planter requires a minimum of space for transport and storage.

The inventive novelty provides that the flap cachepot consists of a soft film cover, in which on its upper and lower part One ring of the desired shape made of a suitable material, preferably hard PVC, for example, is introduced, the size and shape of the rings are chosen so that when When the over pot is folded up, the smaller ring can be slipped into the larger one can. When using the folding planter, on the other hand, the two rings are placed on suitable, variant held type, for example by clamping in webs made of wire or Plastic or similar -, pushed apart, making the hats themselves tightened and the folding planter is given its desired shape.

When removing the tension bars, however, the rings inevitably fall into each other and produce the desired effect that the hinged planter on one Fraction of its normal = size coincides.

The soft film cover of the folding planter kaSh its material thickness, Color or other design can be kept as desired, as can the Rings can be shaped appropriately and of any width and thickness.

There is also the possibility of folding cachepots designed in this way through small, suitable changes as lampshades or similar. to apply.

Claims (3)

claim Folding planter made of plastic for potted flowers, characterized in that that in a sleeve made of flexible film, the other upper and lower end each suitable trained ring is introduced and these rings by tension bars of any design be pushed apart and thus give the folding planter its desired shape. 2. Folding planter according to 1, characterized in that after removal the tension bars of the same are turned inside each other and thus on a fraction of it Normal = size can be brought. 3.
