Abstract

The frame (A) for altering the shape of the stem (5) of a bamboo plant consists of two profiled plates which are fitted over the stem and bolted together along side flanges. The stem then grows into e.g. a heart-shaped cross-section.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

The The present invention relates to the cultivation of bamboo and more particularly a shape that influences the shape of growing bamboo stalks leaves.

2. Related Technology

to Production of storage and storage containers can be a variety of Use materials - eg. Glass, wood, bamboo, plastics, stainless steel etc. To consumers To offer a buying incentive, the shape of storage containers is important. Because of their classic naturalness, wood and bamboo are special Preference. Manufacturers can Bamboo strips for the production of baskets and containers with use a mesh structure. With increasing processing takes but the impression of naturalness from. Furthermore, bamboo sticks have only a cylindrical shape. The However, the cross-sectional shape of bamboo stems can be significantly changed without their natural beauty to destroy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention these circumstances Bill. Your main goal is to have a form of influencing a growing Bamboo stalks, which limits the direction of growth and thereby influenced his outline shape. According to one aspect of the invention For example, the mold has a first and a second mold plate. The first and the second mold plate can be attached to one another lay in the growing bamboo stem to its outline shape to influence. The first and the second mold plate can be so execute that the shape of an interior with triangular, heart or rectangular cross-section to take up a growing bamboo stick. According to one embodiment The present invention relates to the first and second mold plates screwed together. According to another embodiment of the invention the first and the second mold plate with a hook connection to each other attached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As the 1 shows is in a growing bamboo stem 5 Form A is placed between two nodes - preferably between the third and fourth nodes above the ground. Form A limits the growth direction of the growing bamboo stem 5 and thus influences its outline shape. As the 2 . 4 show, the shape A has a first mold plate 1 and a second mold plate 2 on. The first mold plate 1 has two mounting flanges 11 , which run parallel in the longitudinal direction on both sides, as well as in the mounting flanges 11 a variety of mounting holes 111 , The second mold plate 2 has two mounting flanges 21 , which run parallel in the longitudinal direction along the two sides, as well as in the mounting flanges 21 a variety of mounting holes 211 , screw 3 let through the mounting holes 111 . 211 the first or second mold plate 1 . 2 lead to the mold plates 1 . 2 together and on the growing bamboo stick 5 set. Furthermore, the first and the second mold plate 1 . 2 designed so that the form A forms a triangular interior, with which the wax tum of the bamboo stalk 5 is limited to the triangular cross-section. Then is the bamboo stick 5 grown to a certain degree of maturity, it has assumed the triangular cross section (compare the 7 ).

The 3 . 5 and 6 show an alternative embodiment of the present invention. Thereafter, the first and the second mold plate 1 . 2 designed so that the form A forms an interior with heart-shaped cross-section, with which the growing bamboo stem 5 is forced into the heart shape in cross-section.

The 8th and 10 show another embodiment of the present invention. This contains the first mold plate 1 pegholes 12 , which are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides at different heights, while the second mold plate 2 hook 22 having arranged on two opposite sides at different heights and in the hook holes 12 are hookable to the second at the first mold plate 2 . 1 set. According to this embodiment form the first and the second mold plate 1 . 2 a mold interior with triangular cross-section.

The 9 and 11 constitute still another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment corresponds essentially to the in the 8th and 10 except that the inner space formed between the first and second mold plates has a heart-shaped cross section.

The 12 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, in which the mold surrounds an interior with a rectangular cross-section.

Although above specific designs the invention for explanation in detail are described, various modifications are possible without to leave the basic idea of the invention. Consequently, the invention only by the attached claims Are defined.
