Abstract

The stabilising insert for a plant support stick has two angled legs (11), which are connected to a socket (12) at an angular position alpha to each other. The short socket (12) is designed to slide over the support stick (13) to form a stable tripod. The insert is slid onto the stick as a three-leg support foot for pressing into the ground. The insert can be made of metal or plastics, and the stick can be of wood, bamboo or tubular steel. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved stability e.g. in flow pots.

Description

       

  
 



  Pflanzen-Stützstecken (13) mit über einem Meter Länge, haben im Blumentopf meistens zu wenig Halt. 



  Der abgebildete Stützteil aus Kunststoff oder Metall wird über den vorhandenen Pflanzenstecken (13) geschoben und in die Topferde gedrückt, dadurch entsteht ein Drei-Bein (11) und (13) mit guter stabilisierender Wirkung. 



  Zwei abgekröpfte Beine (11) in einer Winkelstellung von 60 DEG ( alpha ) sind mit einem Rohrstutzen (12) fest verbunden und bilden, über einen Pflanzenstecken (13) in Bambus, Holz oder Stahlrohr geschoben, ein Drei-Bein. Die Beine (11) sind T-förmig ausgebildet. Wenn in die Erde gestossen, kann diese Form die allseitigen Drücke am besten aufnehmen, die für eine gute Stabilisierung des Pflanzen-Stützsteckens (13) notwendig sind. Durch die Wahl des Drei-Beines wird erreicht, dass in der Mitte für den Pflanzenstamm genügend Platz vorhanden ist und die beiden Spitzen (11) und der Pflanzen-Stützstecken (13) am Rande des Blumentopfes eingeschoben werden und an dieser Stelle die Pflanzenwurzeln am wenigsten beschädigen.

   Der Rohrstutzen (12) ist innen im Durchmesser so gross, dass die handelsüblichen Pflanzen-Stützstecken eingeschoben werden können, ein Spielraum im Rohrstutzen (12) zum Pflanzen-Stützstecken beeinträchtigt die Stabilität nicht. Der stabilisierende Stützteil wird aus Kusntstoff hergestellt, kann aber auch in Metall-Spritzguss gefertigt werden. 



  
 



  Plant support posts (13) with a length of more than one meter usually have too little hold in the flowerpot.



  The plastic or metal support part shown is pushed over the existing plant sticks (13) and pressed into the potting soil, creating a three-legged (11) and (13) with a good stabilizing effect.



  Two cranked legs (11) in an angular position of 60 ° (alpha) are firmly connected to a pipe socket (12) and, when pushed over a plant stick (13) in bamboo, wood or steel pipe, form a three-leg. The legs (11) are T-shaped. When pushed into the ground, this shape can best absorb the all-round pressures that are necessary for a good stabilization of the plant support (13). The choice of the three legs ensures that there is enough space in the middle for the plant stem and that the two tips (11) and the plant support sticks (13) are inserted at the edge of the flowerpot and that the plant roots are least at this point to damage.

   The inside of the pipe socket (12) is so large that the commercially available plant support sticks can be inserted; a space in the pipe socket (12) for plant support sticks does not impair the stability. The stabilizing support part is made of plastic, but can also be made in metal injection molding.

Claims
