"Packaging for the transport and storage of living plants"

The innovation relates to packaging for the transport and storage of living ones placed in a pot Plants, consisting of a partially surrounding the pot,

from a base, side walls and one that extends over the edge of the pot Board formed container with a handle and handle, wherein the pot is formed like a grid at least on its bottom side and made of plastic.

Packaging for the transport and storage of living, in one Plants used in pots are state-of-the-art, and this packaging makes it possible to use them individually in the plant nursery put together plants in a packaging box without hindering them in a limited growth, whereby This cardboard box gives the possibility that the plant will not dry out and not be damaged even after a long period of time. In addition, the well-known packaging makes it easy to transport animalability of the plant reached.

While in the previously known packaging, each individual plant had to be used in a separate container and this Containers were then used together in the packaging box, the present innovation is based on the task of packaging to create, in which it is possible to combine several plants in one container, with the packaging at the same time to ensure a secure holding of the plant and to ensure easy transport of the plant.

This goal on which the innovation is based is achieved by two essentially U-shaped container halves with recesses for the pot to be accommodated, the two container halves being assembled enclose the pot and with the container halves made of one part carrying and handle parts.

The side walls of the container halves are in their full width pulled up over the edge of the pot and are connected to each other like a bow by the handle.

According to the innovation, the handle part is preferably narrower than that raised wall parts and lies on the edge of the wall parts lying on the open side of the container parts.

According to an essential feature of the innovation pass the Behälterteiie of foamed plastic, which nieht only an inexpensive and easy fabrication d ^·: ehälterteile possible is, but it has been found that at the same time through the use of a foamed plastics material for the container parts the evaporation of the rootball the moisture present in the plant is largely prevented, so that the durability of the plant can be increased considerably.

As is known per se from the art, those who were executed against each other can Edges of the container parts can be equipped with tongue-and-groove elements.

An embodiment of the innovation is explained below with reference to the drawing.

In the drawing, 1 and 2 denote two container halves,

-K-

which consist of a foamed plastic material. In this container halves are recesses 3, U 5 and elaborated to the recording of a known at least at its bottom ^"in: serve pot lattice-like configuration. To rlie sufficient wet -keits- ^ ₁ and to ensure air supply, are provided in the wall portions of the recesses 3 to 5 groove-like recesses. 6 Above the recesses 3 to 5, the inserted pot rim overlapping shelves 7 are provided, whereby the pot is securely held and at the same time the free soil on the top of the pot

< The side walls of the container halves are, as in 8 and 9,

: visibly, pulled up over the shelf 7 and

j connected to one another by the handle parts Io and 11, the

j in the assembled state of the two Eehälterteile 1 and 2 den

form the actual handle and handle.

] On the mutually trimmed edges of the walls of the container parts 1 and 2 springs 12 are provided, which in corresponding Kutf-r 13 of the associated part can intervene and thus ensure a relatively safe and secure locking.
