DE102019004369A1 - Planter for subsequent arrangement on an already planted container - Google Patents

Abstract

Planter for placement at the opening of a planted container. Indoor plants often shed unaesthetically in the lower area. Subsequent planting of their vessels is problematic because of the different soil requirements. The task is to create a secondary planter (1) for subsequent arrangement at the opening of an already planted planter. It is designed in the form of a bowl for planting in cross-section and is designed in the form of a horseshoe or semicircular ring or circular sector ring or circular segment ring, with its large number being dimensioned to fit the top of the planter. The secondary planter (1) or its multitude of semicircular rings, circular sector rings, circular segment rings has a round or polygonal contour and has a handle, a climbing aid and mounting bracket, with several functions advantageously being combined in one element. The secondary planter (1) is guided with free space (4) or access (5) against the stem axis of the plant in the planted container and makes its surroundings more attractive. A smaller secondary planter (1) is contained in the top opening of a larger planter; A large secondary planter (1) takes the edge of the smaller planted planter in the underside contour, such as knobs or groove. Secondary planters (1) in the form of a semicircular ring or circular sector ring or circular segment ring with contour walls of similar radii are fixed to one another by a connecting element (11).

Description

The invention relates to a planter for arrangement on the upper opening of a planter already planted with a tall, stem-forming, slender perennial or another plant that has baked in the lower area.
Such a planter is not known.
A planter is known as an insert in another planter, for example for hydroponics.

Indoor plants often shed the lower area and thus lose their aesthetic appearance.
There is also a planter, for example a flower pot, which contains a plant with a slender stem axis, over which leaves and flowers unfold, revealing a monotonous surface of the earth. If more plants are planted there, they compete with the first plant or often cannot tolerate the same conditions.

As a rule, the sides of a planter, for example a flower pot with a sprout-forming plant, also offer a constant view and are not shaped by a plant in a hanging direction that covers the sides of the pot.
The sides of a flower pot can be given different views by means of cachepots, the design value of which, however, remains the same compared to the changing play of colors, growth, scent and room climate influence of plants in their place.
Arranging further plants in conventional separate containers around a slender stem axis requires small container dimensions to fit between the plant and the edge of the pot, whereby several conventional separate containers are required which, however, do not fill the given area.

In DE202007001467U1 a planter is disclosed that can be attached to parapets or a wall without additional components or can be placed on a level surface, but is not suitable for designing the bare space of a planted planter.

DE202012008069U1 describes planters with drainage in the form of a drawer and intermediate floor with movable wheels or rollers, whereby the design of the bare space of a planted planter does not take place.

DE19719347A1 shows a planter with integrated self-watering which cannot be arranged in the barren space of a planted planter either.

The object of the invention is to create a simple planter for arrangement on the top of an already planted planter, hereinafter referred to as “secondary planter”.
The space around an existing plant should be designed to be filling, attractive and lively, with easy handling.

According to the invention, the object is achieved, as indicated by the claims, in which the secondary planter ( 1 ) is open in its top view, designed in the form of a horseshoe or a circular ring or a semicircular ring or a circular sector or a circular segment, the semicircular or circular sector-shaped or circular segment-shaped secondary planters in their multitude being dimensioned to fit the upper opening of the planter, and a vessel body has a bowl-shaped cross-section and an upwardly directed opening, which has an inner contour wall ( 2 ) and a preferably convex outer contour wall ( 3 ) which are each round or polygonal and the vessel body has two opposite end walls. The vessel body, preferably in the middle section, has a free space ( 4th ) on the through the inner contour wall ( 2 ) is formed and forms an open area in which a planting of the primary planter can at least partially be arranged. A vessel body with an approximately closed circular or polygonal circumference has a notch-shaped access ( 5 ) as a converted gap between the inner contour wall ( 2 ) and outer contour wall ( 3 ) running.
A short access follows ( 5 ) an imaginary radius line and is designed conical or strip-like. A preferred embodiment with a narrow needle-like strip is inconspicuous, makes the planting appear advantageously homogeneous and consists of elastic material, for example flexible metal, plastic or silicone.
A longer access ( 5 ), for example in the form of a curve, wave or half tangent, causes the planting view from a lateral visual axis, which appears homogeneous, because the sides of the vessel are interlocking or arranged one behind the other whereby the access ( 5 ) is largely covered.
Access ( 5 ) in approximately self-contained circular arrangements of circular sector rings or circular segment rings is formed by omitting at least one circular sector, circular segment ring or polygonal element.
The floor ( 6th ) of the vessel body as well as the corresponding semicircular rings, circular sector rings and circular segment rings are flat or, to accommodate bulbs and roots protruding from the surface, curved upwards, the height of the curvature advantageously increasing towards the central free space.

The body of the vessel also has a holder ( 7th ) which is able to attach it to the primary planter. The bracket ( 7th ) is for example as at the Longitudinal groove arranged on the underside of the vessel body which receives an edge of the primary planter or protruding form on the underside of the vessel body, for example knobs, which are supported against the edge of the primary planter or take it up in the interstices between knobs. Another type of bracket ( 7th ) is a ground spike that extends downwards from the outer contour of the vessel body and fixes the vessel body in the filling of the planter that has already been planted. Another form of bracket ( 7th ) is integrated into the outer contour wall of the vessel body and formed by a conical shape of the outer contour wall, with the edge of the primary planter along the outer contour wall ( 3 ) of the vessel body is recorded. The body of the vessel has a handle ( 8th ) which runs between two contour walls or is arranged in the bottom of the vessel body or on a contour wall thereof, with the handle on the outer contour wall ( 3 ) in multiple functions as a holder ( 7th ), for example in which the lower vertically directed structure of the bracket ( 7th ) in front of the outer contour wall ( 3 ) of the vessel body ends and forms a gap that is able to accommodate the upper vessel wall of the planter that has already been planted.

A vessel body, advantageously with a large volume, has a partition designed as an integral part of the vessel or as a separate part ( 9 ) on which in the vessel arranged between the inner contour wall ( 2 ) and outer contour wall ( 3 ) runs. A short partition ( 9 ) follows an imaginary radius line, a longer partition wall ( 9 ) is designed, for example, in the form of a curve or wave.

Elements of the secondary planter with a vertical structure pointing upwards relative to the body of the planter are advantageous as a climbing aid ( 10 ), for example, have vessel walls ( 2 , 3 ) and partition ( 9 ) above the vessel filling a climbing aid ( 10 ) serving structure, for example in that they are perforated, designed as a wall, grid, spiral, rhombus or braid. This as a climbing aid ( 10 ) serving structure also have advantageous designs of bracket ( 7th ) and handle ( 8th ) on.

At least two secondary planters in the form of a semicircular ring or a circular sector ring or a circular segment ring which have contour walls with similar radii are made by a connecting element ( 11 ) fixed together. The connecting element ( 11 ) is advantageously structurally connected to the secondary planter ( 1 ), for example as a structurally executed section on the vessel which is connected to a section of another secondary planter ( 1 ) corresponds to its wall ( 2 , 3 ) overlaps.
The connecting element ( 11 ) can also be designed as an extra part, for example a clip, detent, plug connection or clasp.

The secondary planter ( 1 ) with approximately closed circular or polygonal circumference as well as the arrangement of circular sector rings or circle segments in this circumferential shape with access ( 5 ) guided against the stem axis of the plant in the already planted container until it is in the free space ( 4th ) is located. Secondary planters ( 1 ) as semicircular rings as well as circular sector rings or circular segments of smaller circumference are provided with free space ( 4th ) against the shoot axis of the plant in the already planted container.
A smaller secondary planter ( 1 ) is gripped and fixed in the upper opening of the larger already planted planter.
The fixation of the secondary planter ( 1 ) is also supported by its own weight, encompassing the vegetation of the primary planter, bracket ( 7th ) reached on an outer contour wall of the already planted planter, or a ground spike extending into its bottom.
A larger secondary planter ( 1 ) takes in a contour of its underside, for example knobs or groove, the upper edge of the smaller already planted planter.

The watering process of the secondary planter ( 1 ) reached in free space ( 4th ) and, with the exception of the arrangement of two semicircular segments, access ( 5 ) at the same time the surface of the already planted vessel.
Its other surface sections can be turned over by turning the secondary planter ( 1 ) can be achieved.
With the invention, additional plants can advantageously be conveniently arranged in the space that is already available.
The secondary planter creates an attractive view of the space around the narrow stem and bare plants, independently of the planter that has already been planted. Soil types in the secondary planter are freely selectable in order to combine all types of societies with existing plants, whereby each plant can get its optimal soil type.
Marsh and water plants can now also be added to earth plants. Partitions allow different types of soil in the same secondary planter. Different growth forms, such as plants in a hanging direction, further shape the sides of flower pots and planters.
Changing views enables secondary planters to be exchanged between different containers that have already been planted.
The secondary planter in sector design adapts itself advantageously to the offer of free spaces of irregularly planted vessels.
The sector version opens up far-reaching new design possibilities in which sectors to the already planted vessel and also to each other come into effect.
The secondary planter in sector design offers advantages when handling larger, heavier designs.
The watering process comfortably reaches the secondary planter at the same time.
In the already planted planter, the covering of the ground causes less evaporation.
Roots in the already planted planter are more difficult to reach, which protects small children and pets in particular from reaching toxic roots. The secondary planter filled with water creates a more humid microclimate.
