Latticework

The invention relates to a latticework, preferably for supporting potted plants

A multitude of different types of latticework is already known. Their common feature is that they have in common are all made in a certain preselected size, which is an inconvenience with regard to the growth of plants and the fact is that one latticework cannot easily be replaced by another of different size, because the leaves and branches of the plants wind and twine around the latticework and often cling to it in one Fix in such a way that it is impossible to separate the plant from the latticework without closing the plant to damage·

The task by choosing a large latticework when To loosen the young plant in the pot is neither good from the aesthetic point of view, as in this one If the almost bare, large latticework attracts all the attention at the expense of the plant and in addition takes up unnecessary space. On the other hand, it is not very beneficial to have a comparatively small latticework to choose, as in this case the plant grows out of the latticework very quickly. In the latter case, will the older plant is not carried in the same way by the latticework, and therefore its leaves and branches become hanging down from the sides of the latticework and the pot, keeping the plant developing and growing in a satisfactory manner Kind of hinder. In contrast, it means that the stem of the plant breaks easily, and the danger that the plant dies, is bigger. An additional drawback when using latticework that is too narrow is that that the plant growing on only one side of the latticework can press down the lattice on this side with the result that the plant pot becomes overweight and can fall over

Another disadvantage of prior art latticework is that they extend in only one plane, with the result that the latticework and also the flower pot fall over, even if a comparatively weak force is exerted transversely to the plane of the latticework. It is often sufficient that a single branch extends transversely to the plane for this branch to depress the latticework and overturn this and possibly the pot.

With the invention a new latticework is provided, by which the disadvantages indicated above are eliminated.

The invention is characterized in that the latticework is formed by a multiplicity of individual lattices, each of which has two beams or columns which are connected to one another by a strut, that the latticework in any arbitrary and desired size in two or three dimensions Arranging and mounting the individual grids can be assembled, with at least one of the pillars of the individual grids of the latticework being releasably fixed to a column of the individual grids arranged below and / or above, for example via a connecting pin.

Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of several in Embodiments shown in the drawing. Show it:

FIG. 7 shows a latticework assembled by means of the individual lattices according to FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 a latticework assembled by means of individual grids according to FIG. 4

The single grid shown in FIG. 1 is generally designated by 1. It has two beams or columns 2, 3, which are connected by means of a strut 4 · The pillars 2, 3 are provided with blind holes 5 with a square cross-section, in the connecting pins 6 with a square cross-section as well Can be partially used · If some individual grids 1 to a latticework, as shown in Figure 7 is to be put together, the connecting pins are inserted into one or both pillars of one of the individual grids and this is then connected to other individual grids in that these are on the protruding parts the connecting pins are placed.

The single grille shown in FIG. 3 is denoted by 7. Like the single grille according to FIG. 1, it exists from two columns 8, 9 and a strut connecting them instead of removable connecting pins, as in the embodiment According to FIG. 1, the individual grid 7 is in this case with firmly connected, downwardly projecting pins 11 round cross-section, which are arranged at the lower end of each column 8,9. At the top of everyone A corresponding opening 12 is formed on the column, into which the pins 11 of another individual grid during assembly several individual grids can be used to form a latticework.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment which differs from that according to FIG. 3 only in that the cross strut is arranged substantially at the upper end of the columns, and has the advantage of missing protruding parts For example, the clothes of a person watering a plant can get caught in the clothes made of individual grids Lattice work formed with protruding parts has grown up · Corresponding details of the embodiment according to Figure 3 and that shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6 Embodiments are marked with identical reference numerals

FIG. 8 shows a latticework which is composed of individual lattices 7 of the type shown in FIG and is arranged in a flower pot 14 to support a plant 15 "

The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawing, on the contrary, some modifications are possible within the framework given by the claims.

For example, the latticework can be used not only for potted plants, but also for large outdoor plants will. For example, it is possible to produce part of the latticework with comparatively large individual lattices, to support the branches of fruit trees.

It should also be emphasized that in order to make the latticework more stable, it should be in more than two dimensions can be plugged together. For example, a flat latticework can be set up by adding individual grids which are attached at an angle to the lattice plane in order to form a support in this way, this Column is connected to the latticework by one or more of the ones closest to the latticework Individual grids of the support are connected to the individual grids of the lattice work according to the invention. The latticework according to the invention can also be placed around bushes or trees and next to supporting the plant also serve as protection against animals.
