Description

Hinge for flower box, especially self-irrigation box

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a hinge for a flower box, in particular a self-irrigation box, made mainly of wire.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Prior art hinges for hanging flower boxes, especially on balcony railings, are usually formed by a welded wire cage enclosing the flower box from below and around its entire perimeter. A pair of wire suspension hooks is connected to one of the longitudinal wires of the wire cage to partially enclose the balcony railing pipe. To the lower longitudinal wire of the wire cage under the hanging hooks is attached a laterally extending wire spacer frame to secure the position of the wire cage and thus the entire bottom of the flower box in a horizontal position.

The disadvantage of this solution is the need for a relatively large amount of wire and a relatively large number of welds. Another disadvantage is the difficulty of handling the flower box when it is inserted into a relatively tight wire cage, which also manifests itself when it is removed.

A disadvantage is also that existing hinges are always made to a certain length of the flower box. Also, the known hinges do not allow perfect securing of the flower box against its tilting, which can manifest itself especially in the larger overhangs when growing overhanging flowers such as overhanging geraniums or surfinias.

The essence of the technical solution

The object of the invention is to provide a hinge for a flower box, in particular a self-irrigation box, which allows easy insertion and removal of the flower box, while reducing wire consumption for its production and reducing the number of welds to a minimum. Another task is to provide a hinge that perfectly secures the flower box against its spontaneous opening and can be used for flower boxes of different lengths.

This object fulfills the drawbacks of the known hinge by eliminating a hinge for a flower, in particular a self-irrigation box, made mainly of wire, according to the technical solution, which is based on the fact that both ends of the wire are provided with bends. and is further bent into ascending sections, the ends of which are again bent against each other into a horizontal connecting section, wherein on the vertical sections the locking wires are threaded with their supporting eyes, the opposite ends of which are provided with hook bends for snapping behind the upper part. ascending sections.

According to the technical solution, both ends of the wire can be bent in the shape of suspension hooks oriented perpendicularly to the joint section before bends, or they can be bent into the shape of suspension eyes oriented parallel to the joint section. They can also be connected by a straight section oriented parallel to the connecting section.

It is also preferred that a wire spacer is secured to the lower part of the hinge in its vertical sections to secure the hinge and thereby the entire bottom of the flower box in a horizontal position.

The advantage of the hinge according to the technical solution is a significant reduction in the amount of wire and, due to its bends, a reduction in the number of welds. Since the hinge acts as an open channel at both ends when inserting and removing the flower box, inserting and removing the flower box is convenient and without any hassle. The hollowness of the hinge also allows its use for flower boxes of different lengths, which is limited only by their weight due to the bearing capacity of the wire used. The use of interlocking wires just above the top edge of the flower box allows

Overview of the drawings

1 is an axonometric view of the hinge in the first exemplary embodiment, FIG. 2 is an axonometric view of the hinge in the second exemplary embodiment, FIG. 3 is an axonometric view of the hinge in the third exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 4 enlarged view of one lock Part of the hinge with lock wire in plan view.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As is apparent from FIG. into the bottom support section 5, 6 of the flower box (not shown), and is further bent into ascending sections 7, 8, the ends of which are bent again, depending on the height of the flower box, against the horizontal connecting section 9. with its supporting eyes 10, Π. threaded interlocking wires 12, 13, the opposite ends of which are provided with hook-like bends 14, 15 for locking beyond the upper part of the ascending sections 2, 8.

The ends of the wire in front of the bends 1, 2 may be designed as suspension hooks 16, 17 (FIG. 1) oriented perpendicularly to the connecting section 9 and intended to be hung for example on a balcony railing, or may be bent into the shape of suspension eyes 18, 19 (FIG. 2) oriented parallel to the connecting section 9 and intended to be hung on, for example, separate staples (not shown). According to FIG. 3, they can also be connected by a straight section 20 oriented parallel to the connecting section 9.

A wire spacer 21 is secured to the lower part of the hinge at its vertical sections 3, 4, preferably welded, to secure the hinge and thereby the entire bottom of the flower box in a horizontal position.

A flower box (not shown) is inserted into the space defined by the pair of vertical sections 3, 4, the bottom support sections 5, 6 and the ascending hinge sections 7, 8, and then the lock wires 12, 13 are moved over the flower box. engage behind the top of the ascending hinge sections 7, 8.

Industrial applicability

The hinge for the flower box, in particular the self-irrigation box, can be used to hang the boxes at the necessary locations without the risk of their being swung out of the hinge.
