Title: Plant Support Stand·
k Description :

Task and purpose of the invention;

The invention is based on the task of being able to fix, for example, the branches of plants that are grown in pots, in the desired manner without damaging the root system of the

f. to damage the plant.

State of the art;

&psgr; To fix plants, sticks ",: are rammed into the potting soil, to which the branches are tied.

Criticism of the state of the art;

The sticks rammed into the potting soil do not find a firm hold in the loose potting soil and therefore cannot permanently fix and hold the plant branches. Furthermore, the sticks hit the roots of the plants and injure them; at the break points of the plants, the water used to water them causes rot, mold and fungal infestation, which seriously damages the respective plant.

Solution of the tasks;

The plant pot (1) is placed on a base plate (2) together with a water collecting tray; this base plate has a corresponding weight. A curved rod is attached to the base plate (2) via a support piece (4)# which has holes (3)* with the help of screws, pins and the like· (5).

(6) is screwed on, which runs in an arc up the flower or plant pot (1) to its central axis and from there further upwards. The rod (6) has holes (7) in which screws and the like (7) are inserted.

which optionally have eyelets through which binding material is passed, with the help of which the branches of the plant are held in place. The base plate (2) optionally has at least one nose (β) which has an elongated hole (3) over which the rod (6) is screwed. The screws (5) optionally disappear into recesses so that the plate (2) always rests flat on the ground. The plate (2) optionally has feet and the like on its underside. The plate (2) optionally has several noses (8) so that several rods (6) can be screwed on if necessary to support stronger plants. Several rods (6) are kept at the desired distance from one another using screwed-on spacers.

Achievable benefits:

The device according to the invention is correspondingly heavy and can therefore fix the branches of a plant as desired. Because the rod (6), to which the bands for fixing the branches are tied to the eyelets of the pins and the like (7), runs in an arc around the plant pot and only rises above the plant pot to its central axis, in the future no more holding rods will have to be inserted into the roots of the plant.

Sticks always in the same plane and ensures permanent fixation of the plant branches. The potting soil can now be kept loose as necessary because it no longer has to hold a stick. A loose, air-permeable soil is beneficial for the plant. A drip filter can even be attached to the bottom of the pole (6), which is important if the plant holder is absent for a long time. Even with very large and heavy plants, many branches can be continuously fixed by several poles (6). Plate (2) and poles (6) form a solid framework to support the plant without damaging it in any way. The nose or noses (8) make it possible to not have to make a plate (2) too large in diameter if the plant pot has a large diameter, because the noses (8) with their elongated holes (3) lead outwards - from where the pole (6) can go up and past the plant pot.
