Abstract

Plant container (1), in particular shell, for attracting plants, in particular a bonsai tree, in which there are on the outside or on the upper edge of the vessel wall on all sides several fastening devices (4) for ropes, cords or wires, which as knobs (4a ), Hooks (4b), tabs (4c), holes (4d) or a circumferential rod (4e) may be formed. The fastening devices serve to facilitate the application of the tension wire technique in the formation of bonsai trees by resilient, dimensionally stable attachment points for the tension wires or tension cables are integrated in the planter.

Description

State of the art

Planters, including bonsai pots, are known in a variety of forms. In order to make bonsai trees the desired shape, it is a common practice to attach and tension ropes, cords or wires to the trunks or branches, thereby deforming the trunks or branches. The tension is achieved by attaching the other end of the rope, wire or string to the planter or at a suitable location on the tree itself. After some time, usually several weeks, the stems or branches take on the new shape permanently and the ropes, cords or wires can be removed again.

The method is often described by words such as chucking, tension wires or clamping technology, in the following the latter term is used.

Neither planters in general nor bonsai pots in particular have special devices for attaching the ropes, cords or wires used in the clamping technique. Those who want to attach such uses one of the following methods to create anchor points for the tension ropes, cords or wires. The disadvantages and problems of the methods are each described: 1. Drilling or cutting holes in the vessel wall.

This means additional work, the planters can be damaged or lose stability and durability. 2. The wrapping of the vessel with wire, rope or cord, which in turn the tension cables or wires are attached.

Such attachment methods are often shaky and less dimensionally stable. 3. The attachment of hooks in a hole in the bottom of the vessel where the hook then serves as a point of attachment for the tension ropes, cords or wires.

If the plant is already in the vessel, the holes at the bottom are hard to reach. This method offers few possibilities to vary the train direction.

Technical task

The object of the invention has been made to improve planters so that the application of the clamping technology is facilitated and the disadvantages mentioned do not come to fruition.

Inventive solution

The invention solves this problem by the fact that are on the outwardly facing side of the vessel wall or on the upper edge of the vessel wall on all sides fastening devices for ropes, cords or wires, wherein the fastening devices in the form of knobs, hooks, tabs, holes or a rotating rod can have.
