Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for decorative objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic device which is used in particular for flowers, plants, onions, tubers or the like.
  • This known device has an element-forming plate which contains at least one bore transverse to its plane of extension.
  • the containers containing decorative objects are placed, which have a cylindrical base on their bottom, which penetrates the bore of the element and protrudes downward over the element. This base penetrating the element prevents the container standing on the plate from being able to be moved on it.
  • Containers of different sizes have all bases of identical diameter, the diameter of the base corresponding to the diameter of the bore.
  • the relevant containers e.g.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic device that can be used more versatile can, and which is particularly variable in the size and design of the container.
  • the element has at least one depression which is stepped symmetrically. Depending on the size of the container, it is assigned to a certain level by which it is held.
  • the depression has at least one contact surface parallel to the plane of extension of the element and at least one contact surface arranged perpendicular to it.
  • the element preferably has a flat edge strip.
  • This flat edge strip can rest on a frame carrying the element, whereby a frame can also carry several individual elements, each with a recess.
  • the edge strip of the element can also be provided with holes, which are penetrated by cords, so that the element holding the container can also be suspended.
  • an element with a plurality of depressions it is advisable to provide a circumferential bend at its edge which extends essentially parallel to the depressions, as a result of which the sheet-like element is reinforced. If the width of this bend is greater than the depth of the depression, the element can stand on the bend.
  • Such an element, with or without angling, can also be used as the lid of a box, e.g. is filled with water.
  • the contact surfaces of the depressions of the elements can be separated from the contact surfaces thereof.
  • weak points are advantageously provided in the area of the lower edges of the contact surfaces in the wall of the depressions, as a result of which, for example by means of a knife, individual steps from the Have the element cut off.
  • the depression asked for a cross-section which was square to the plane of extent of the element, the side length of each step of the depression corresponding to the diameter of various containers of a size row.
  • These containers then stand up on a support surface with their base and are supported laterally on the support surfaces.
  • the containers are cylindrical and have at least one axial height projecting beyond the cylindrical shape, for example at an axial height, + four uniformly spaced-apart projections are provided. These four protrusions projecting outwards can alternate over the circumference with four protrusions protruding inwards into the container according to another proposal by the applicant.
  • the containers can now be introduced into depressions which are open at the bottom in such a way that the projections rest on the contact surfaces of a step, the outer wall of the container touches and is supported on the contact surfaces of this step and the lower part of the container hangs down out of the element.
  • the container can either be inserted into the recess from above, but due to the square opening of the recess, it is also possible to push the container into it from below, the projections pointing towards the corners of the recess when pushed in.
  • the container is pivoted by 45 ° about its vertical axis, so that the cantilevers are located above the contact surfaces and can rest there.
  • Such a design by means of which the center of gravity of the container filled with water can be brought under the bearing surface, is particularly suitable for use as a hanging element, since the container is prevented from tipping and / or falling even when the hanging element starts to oscillate should come.
  • each recess 2 forms a module with the edge strips 6 surrounding it. Modules which are adjacent to one another have a weak point 7 between the respective adjacent edge strips 6, at which they can be separated from one another.
  • the unit consisting of the three modules according to FIG. 1 is surrounded by a further, wider, circumferential edge strip 8, which here has a downward-pointing bend 9 which forms an angle of somewhat more than 90 ° with the edge strip 7. This angle 9 not only serves to stiffen the element, in particular when it is suspended from cords as shown here in FIG. 1, but can also be used to support the modules with respect to a support surface.
  • a weak point 7 is also provided between the edge strip 6 of the modules and the circumferential, outer edge strip 8 in order to make it easier to separate the outer edge strip 8. Individuals or the group of modules can then, e.g. shown in Figure 2 and explained later, be placed on a frame 11.
  • holes are provided in the outer edge strips 7, in particular at their corners, through which a cord 10, which is knotted below the edge strips 8, can be passed.
  • differently designed containers 3 can be placed on different levels of the depressions 2, depending on their size.
  • the contact surfaces 5 prevent the containers 3 from moving horizontally on the hanging element 1.
  • the container 3 shown on the right in FIG. 1 hangs in a way in the recess 2, which is to be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the cross section parallel to the plane of extension of the element (in FIGS. 1 and 2 perpendicular to the plane of the drawing) of the recess 2 can also be circular in order to place a container on one of the steps of the recess or around a cylindrical container from above into the opening of a recess 2, this recess 2 has according to the embodiments shown here a square cross section. As a result, the opening area of the depression 2 is also square.
  • the container 3 according to FIG. 2 has both a cylindrical outer wall 13 and a cylindrical inner wall 14 and a flat bottom 15. At a distance from each other and from the two axial ends of the container 3, two groups of eight projections 16 and 17 are provided here. While the projections 16 protrude outwards from the outer wall 13, the projections 17 extend inwards from the inner wall 14 of the container 3. Over the circumference of the container 3, the protrusions 16 and 17 projecting outwards and inwards alternate evenly distributed, so that each individual protrusion 16 or 17 overlaps a sector of 45 ° here.
  • the outside diameters of the containers 3 used here correspond to the side lengths of the different steps of the recesses 2.
  • the side length of the lowest step is, for example, 20 mm, while the side length of the next larger steps is then 20 mm larger.
  • the container 3, the four projections of which face each other on diagonals, can now be pushed into the opening of the recess 2 from above such that these projections come to rest on the contact surfaces 4 of the steps, while the container outer wall 13 contacts the contact surfaces 5 the depression 2 tangent.
  • the container 3 comes to hang in the recess 2.
  • the aforementioned diagonals dividing the projections 16 are aligned parallel to the contact surfaces 5 of the depressions 2.
  • the container 3 can also be inserted from below into the opening.
  • the projections 16 are to be aligned so that they point to the corners of the square openings, the container 3 is raised in this orientation is pushed until the overhangs 16 come to rest above the support surfaces 4, whereupon the container 3 is rotated about its vertical axis by 45 ° until the aforementioned diagonals dividing the overhangs 16 are again aligned parallel to the contact surfaces 5.
  • the container if it has protrusions in two axial heights, as shown in Figure 2, also at different heights in the Be arranged recess.
  • the element 1 according to FIG. 2 now rests here on a frame 11 which consists of horizontally lying supports 18 which support the edge strips 6 of the element and which are supported by feet 19 e.g. can rest on a table.
  • This frame 11 carries one or more modules consisting of the depressions 2 and the edge strips 6, which can rest individually or connected together. So that these modules cannot slip relative to the frame 11, the outer walls of the vertical sections of the uppermost step rest on the supports 18 of the frame 11.
  • the feet 19 of the frame 11 are so long that the container 3 does not lie on the table even if it hangs in the lowest position in the recess 2.
  • an element 1 which is constructed in a similar way to element 1 according to FIG. 1, in which case several modules are now arranged two-dimensionally both next to and behind one another.
  • the bends 9 of the element 1 encompass the upper edge of a watertight box 20 which is open at the top, so that the element 1 forms a lid which closes the box 20 at the top.
  • This box 20 can, when filled with water, for example can be used as an aquarium, with deep-hanging containers 3 reaching into the water in the box 20, for example. Then it is advisable to design this box 20 from a transparent material.
  • a wick can extend out of the flower pots into the water present in the box 20, so that a constant supply of liquid to the flower pot is ensured.
  • the box 20, which is covered by the element 1, can also be used as a terrarium, whereby in addition to the containers 3 arranged on or in the element 1, having plants or the like, also plants 20 in the box 20 consisting of a transparent material , Stones or the like are present.
  • containers 3 are used, in which at least the part below the projections 16 and 17 is made of an opaque material.
  • the cover forming the element 1 consists of an opaque material
  • this box 20 itself can also be opaque, as a result of which essentially no light rays are incident on the Can reach the root area.
  • a net 21 holding an onion can also be suspended in the recess 2 which has an opening and is shown in the middle in the sectional drawing of FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity. The roots of this onion then extend into the water contained in the watertight box 20.
