Abstract

The support column for climbing plants consists of two semi-cylindrical half-shells (1). These are made up of a grid of vertical bars (2) and curved cross-bars (3) and are clipped together along their edges. The plants are grown inside the column.

Description

So far it was not known to have pillars with trellises to clothe and green them with suitable plants. It are only tree guards made of forged steel bars, and have the character of coarse grids, as is the case with monier iron mats with wire gauge from 5 to 8 mm is known. Such guards are not used as a trellis, but only as a protective grille to protect young trees and other plants to protect mechanical impact.

The innovation is therefore the task underlying an inexpensive and easy to assemble pillar trellis propose that is visually unremarkable.

The solution to the task takes place with the technical teaching of claim 1.

With the column trellis it is essential that two half-shell shaped Rank halves are provided which are the pillar reach around and connected to each other in the connection area with connection clips are.

What is important with the innovation is that there are two half-shells that complement each other and which is the pillar enclose. These half-shells are connected to each other by clips.

It is also important that any The trellis halves can be aligned because the connecting rods Bump into each other smoothly in the connection area and there by appropriate horizontal rotating bars are limited so that you can just get together in the vertical direction can be lined up by standing on top of each other half-shells with clips connects with each other.

A grid size of 10 × 20 cm is preferred used, and it is therefore easy to combine with others, adjoining trellis.

A diameter is preferred as the wire thickness of 3 mm, which leads to an optically unobtrusive appearance. Yet there is a stable structure because of the half-shell shape the elements stabilize themselves and are strong.

Around the pillar-trellis to certain different ones Column diameter to adapt, it is intended in accordance with the innovation two different half-shells, i.e. with a different radius of curvature, to use. In a first embodiment it is provided that the two half-shells combine to a diameter of 12 cm, while in a second embodiment it is provided that the half-shells have a diameter of Unite 25 cm.

The half shells are in the range of theirs vertical, butting vertical bars connected by clips. The clips are detachably attached. This has the advantage that, if necessary, one connection side the half-shells loosened and the two half shells on the other, still with Clip connected side can be opened. For example, this is necessary if the ranked pillar accessible must be done.

The use of two to each other symmetrical half-shells has the further advantage that such Half-shell can be used for filling downpipes on house walls. In this case, the vertical bars on the house wall with hooks and dowels attached to the house wall.

The half-shells are also, by the way vertically one above the other can be arranged horizontally. Here, too, there is a connection in the area of abutting each other Horizontal bars from releasable attached clips.

The subject matter of the present innovation arises not only from the subject of the individual protection claims, but also from the combination of the individual protection claims.

All in the documentation, including the Summary disclosed information and features, especially the spatial training shown in the drawings claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they are used individually or in Combination versus the state of the art are new.

In the following, the innovation is based on of just one way of execution illustrative drawings explained. Here go from the drawings and their description essential features and advantages of the innovation.

Show it:

1 : perspective view of a half-shell according to the invention

2 : a column trellis for a thin column

3 : a column trellis for a thicker column

4 : Detailed illustration of the connection of two bars with assigned clips

5 : View of a ranked columnar trellis

In 1 is a half shell 1 a trellis according to the invention is shown, which in the embodiment shown there can also be used to fill downpipes that run along the wall of the house.

With the ends of the half shell 1 arranged, two vertical bars 2 can thus be the half-shell 1 with suitable wall connectors on the house wall of a building using a downpipe.

The 2 shows a column trellis according to the innovation, consisting of two identical halves arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another peel 1 . 4 ,

One in 1 shown, front half-shell 1 becomes mirror-symmetrical to the column 5 with a rear half-shell 4 added so that the respective vertical bars 2 the abutting half-shells 1 . 4 touch each other and in the area of contact - as in 4 shown below left - with suitable plastic clips 6 are connected.

Half shells can also be used 1 . 4 larger diameter can be used to form such a column 5 larger diameter 3 to surround. The same explanations apply here as with the 2 given.

The 4 shows as a further embodiment that half-shells can also be arranged one above the other and in the area of the touching horizontal bars 3 . 3b also by clips 6 can be connected to each other.

The advantage of the illustrated half-shells is that in the event that the column 5 to be made accessible, it is sufficient to use the clips arranged on a vertical bar 6 to solve so as to pivot the half-shells apart, the pivot bearing through the touching, opposite vertical bars 2 and the clips closed there 6 is formed.

It is not shown that on the half shells 1 . 4 radially inward spacers can be arranged on the respective column 5 invest.

It can also be provided that on the column 5 Fixings are provided to the half shells 1 . 4 to keep.

However, it can also be provided be that the half-shells with their bottom, all-round Horizontal bar anchored in the ground with suitable fasteners become.
