Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung mit einer flächenförmigen, Öffnungen aufweisenden Halterung und Behälter gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 bzw. 2.2. The invention relates to a device with a sheet-like holder and container having openings according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2 respectively.

Eine gattungsgemäße Einrichtung ist aus der FR-A-2.125.565 bzw. der entsprechenden DE-A-2.207.540 bekannt. Diese Einrichtung besteht aus einem einen quadratischen, rechteckigen, vieleckigen oder kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisenden, oben offenem Behälter, der innen geringfügig beabstandet von seinem oberen Ende Stützbereiche aufweist, auf denen eine flächenförmige, Öffnungen aufweisende Halterung angeordnet sein kann. Auf diesen Stützbereichen oder in den Öffnungen der Halterung ist jeweils ein weiterer Behäiter, wie ein Blumentopf od. dgl., ein Aschenbeaher, ein Zeitungshalter od. dgl. angeordnet, der geringere Abmessungen, insbesondere eine geringere Höhe, aufweist, als der ihn umgebende Behälter. Der äußere Behälter dient hier der Dekoration und als Vorratsbehälter für Wasser, während der innere gegebenenfalls von der Haiterung getragene Behälter - soweit es einen Blumentopf betrifft - ein herkömmlicher Tontopf mit einer unteren zentralen, dem Wasserdurchtritt dienenden Öffnung ist, der im wesentlichen nicht mehr sichtbar in dem Übertopf verborgen ist.A generic device is known from FR-A-2.125.565 or the corresponding DE-A-2.207.540. This device consists of a square, rectangular, polygonal or circular cross-section, open-topped container, which has slightly spaced inside from its upper end support areas on which a sheet-like holder having openings can be arranged. A further container, such as a flower pot or the like, an ash dryer, a newspaper holder or the like, is arranged on each of these support areas or in the openings of the holder and has smaller dimensions, in particular a lower height, than the container surrounding it . The outer container is used here for decoration and as a storage container for water, while the inner container, which may be carried by the halter - insofar as it concerns a flower pot - is a conventional clay pot with a lower central opening that allows water to pass through and is essentially no longer visible in the planter is hidden.

Die in dem Behälter angeordneten Stützbereiche können insbesondere durch einen zusammenhängenden, sich über den Behälterumfang erstreckenden Vorsprung gebildet sein.The support regions arranged in the container can in particular be formed by a coherent projection which extends over the circumference of the container.

Die Außenkontur der Halterung stimmt in etwa mit derjenigen des sie tragenden Behälters überein. Die Öffnungen der Halterung können einen kreisförmigen, rechteckigen oder quadratischen Querschnitt aufweisen, wobei in den Öffnungen in diese Öffnungen hineinragende Auskragungen oder Vorsprünge angeordnet sein können. Die in die Öffnungen einzusetzenden Behälter, wie Blumentöpfe od. dgl. liegen mit ihrem über ihre Behälterwandung nach außen vorstehenden Rand auf dem Rand der in der Halterung angeordneten Öffnung oder auf den Stützbereichen des äußeren Behälters auf.The outer contour of the holder corresponds approximately to that of the container carrying it. The openings of the holder can have a circular, rectangular or square cross-section, wherein projections or projections projecting into these openings can be arranged. The containers to be inserted into the openings, such as flower pots or the like, rest with their edge projecting outward beyond their container wall on the edge of the opening arranged in the holder or on the support regions of the outer container.

Dadurch wird eine Dekorationseinrichtung erhalten, durch die der größte Teil des inneren Behälters, wie Blumentopf od. dgl. in dem durch die Halterung abgedeckten Innenteil des äußeren Behälters nicht mehr sichtbar ist. Da die Stützbereiche des äußeren Behälters beabstandet von dessen oberen Ende angeordnet sind, ist auch der obere Rand des inneren Behälter zumindest von der Seite her nicht mehr sichtbar.As a result, a decoration device is obtained through which the largest part of the inner container, such as a flower pot or the like, is no longer visible in the inner part of the outer container covered by the holder. Since the support regions of the outer container are spaced from its upper end, the upper edge of the inner container is no longer visible, at least from the side.

-Aus der DE-A-2.425.752 ist eine Dekorationseinrichtung bekannt, die insbesondere für Blumen, Pflanzen, Zwiebeln, Knollen od. dgl. verwendet wird. Diese bekannte Einrichtung weist eine, eine Halterung bildende Platte auf, die quer zu ihrer Erstreckungsebene mindestens eine Öffnung enthält. Auf diese Halterung sind Behälter, wie z. B. Vasen, gestellt, die an ihrem Boden einen zyjinderförmigen Sockel aufweisen, der die Öffnung der Halterung durchdringt und nach unten über diese hervorsteht. Dieser die Halterung durchdringende Sockel verhindert, daß der auf der plattenförmigen Halterung aufstehende Behälter auf dieser verschoben werden kann. Im Durchmesser verschieden große Behälter weisen alle Sockel identischen Durchmessers auf, wobei der Durchmesser des Sockels dem Durchmesser der Öffnung entspricht. Die diesbezüglichen Behälter können nur zusammen mit der bekannten Halterung verwendet werden, da der Durchmesser des Sockels in der Regel sehr viel kleiner ist, als der Außendurchmesser des Behälters und dieser bei einer Verwendung ohne eine entsprechende Halterung sehr leicht umfällt. Umgekehrt kann die die Bohrung enthaltende Halterung zweckentsprechend nur mit Behältern benutzt werden, die einen an die Öffnung angepaßten Sockel aufweisen. Der Boden der Behälter muß dabei entsprechend der ebenen Platte eben ausgebildet sein, damit der Behälter auf der Platte aufliegen kann.A decorative device is known from DE-A-2,425,752, which is used in particular for flowers, plants, onions, tubers or the like. This known device has a plate which forms a holder and which contains at least one opening transversely to its plane of extension. Containers such. B. vases, which have at their bottom a zyjinder-shaped base that penetrates the opening of the holder and protrudes downward beyond this. This base penetrating the holder prevents the container standing on the plate-shaped holder from being able to be moved thereon. Containers of different sizes have all bases of identical diameter, the diameter of the base corresponding to the diameter of the opening. The relevant containers can only be used together with the known holder, since the diameter of the base is generally much smaller than the outer diameter of the container and this falls very easily when used without a suitable holder. Conversely, the holder containing the bore can only be used appropriately with containers which have a base adapted to the opening. The bottom of the container must be flat according to the flat plate so that the container can rest on the plate.

Bei einer aus der GB-A-275.003 bekannten, dem Transport von Blumen dienenden Einrichtung stehen über ihre ganze Höhe einen kreiszylinderförmigen Querschnitt aufweisende, spezielle Behälter für Blumen auf dem Boden dieser Einrichtung auf, während sie eine beabstandet von diesem Boden angeordnete, mit entsprechend groß ausgebildeten Öffnungen versehene Halterung, von der sie gegen Kippen gehalten werden, durchdringen. Die inneren Blumenbehälter können auf speziellen, auf dem Boden des Behälters angeordneten Sockeln stehen, auf denen sie gegen ein seitliches Verrutschen zusätzlich gesichert sind. Es ist jedoch nicht möglich, die inneren Blumenbehälter beabstandet vom Boden bzw. von den Sockeln anzuordnen.In a device known from GB-A-275.003 which serves for the transport of flowers, special containers for flowers having a circular cylindrical cross-section stand on the bottom of this device over their entire height, while they have a spaced-apart from this floor of correspondingly large size trained openings penetrate holder, from which they are held against tilting, penetrate. The inner flower containers can stand on special bases arranged on the base of the container, on which they are additionally secured against slipping sideways. However, it is not possible to arrange the inner flower containers at a distance from the floor or from the bases.

Aus der FR-A-788.028 ist ein Übertopf und ein Blumentopf dafür bekannt. Beide sind aufeinander abgestimmt und beide sind in bekannter Art und Weise konisch ausgebildet. Der Übertopf weist beabstandet von seinem oberen Ende an seiner Innenwandung vier über den Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnete, flache Auskragungen auf, während am Innentopf an dessen Außenwandung vier entsprechende Auskragungen, die auf ersteren aufliegen, angeordnet sind.A planter and a flower pot for this are known from FR-A-788.028. Both are matched to one another and both are conical in a known manner. The planter has, spaced from its upper end on its inner wall, four flat projections which are uniformly distributed over the circumference, while on the inner pot on the outer wall there are four corresponding projections which rest on the former.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Dekorationseinrichtung zu schaffen, die vielseitiger verwendet werden kann, die insbesondere variabler in der Größe und Ausbildung der Behälter ist, bei der auch der von der Halterung getragene Behälter als Teil der Dekorationseinrichtung mindestens zum Teil sichtbar ist und bei der der Behälter auch von unten in die Öffnung der Halterung eingeschoben werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a generic decoration device that can be used more versatile, which is particularly variable in size and design of the container, in which the container carried by the holder is at least partially visible as part of the decoration device and in which the container can also be inserted from below into the opening of the holder.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand der Ansprüche 1 und 2 gelöst. Beide erfindungsgemäße Dekorationseinrichtungen sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß jeder Behälter mindestens eine zylinderförmige Außenwandung aufweist, der vorstehende Teil in einer axialen, von den Enden jedes Behälters beabstandeten Höhe angeordnet ist und durch vier bzw. mehrere nach außen über die Außenwandung des Behälters vorstehende, voneinander beabstandete, gleichmäßig über den Umfang verteilte Auskragungen gebildet ist. Bei der einen Dekorationseinrichtung (Anspruch 1) weist die Öffnung der Halterung einen quadratischen Querschnitt auf, der einen Durchtritt der dann vier Auskragungen gestattet. Bei der anderen Dekorationseinrichtung (Anspruch 2) entspricht der Querschnitt der Öffnung der Halterung nach Form und Größe dem Querschnitt der Behälters in Höhe der Auskragungen und weist Aufnehmungen auf, die einen Durchtritt der dann mehreren Auskragungen gestatten.This object is solved by the subject matter of claims 1 and 2. Both decoration devices according to the invention are characterized in that each container has at least one cylindrical outer wall, the front standing part is arranged at an axial height spaced from the ends of each container and is formed by four or more projections projecting outward beyond the outer wall of the container and being spaced apart and evenly distributed over the circumference. In the case of one decoration device (claim 1), the opening of the holder has a square cross section, which then allows four protrusions to pass through. In the other decoration device (claim 2), the cross section of the opening of the holder corresponds in shape and size to the cross section of the container at the level of the projections and has receptacles which allow a passage of the then several projections.

Während bei der bekannten, gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung der innere, in der Halterung hängende Behälter von einem weiteren Behälter voll umschlossen wird, steht bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung der in der Halterung hängende Behälter als Teil einer Dekorationseinrichtung über die Halterung nicht nur mit seinem Auskragungen, sondern auch mit einem Teil seiner nun zylinderförmigen Außenwandung hinaus.While in the known generic device the inner container hanging in the holder is fully enclosed by another container, in the device according to the invention the container hanging in the holder stands as part of a decorative device over the holder not only with its overhangs, but also with part of its now cylindrical outer wall.

Diese Auskragungen liegen auf dem Rand der Öffnung auf. Diese Öffnung weist gemäß der einen Lösungsvariante einen Querschnitt auf, der nach Form und Größe dem Querschnitt des Behälters in Höhe der Auskragungen entspricht. Der Behälter wird dann so in die Öffnung eingesetzt, daß die Auskragungen zwischen den den Auskragungen entsprechenden Ausnehmungen der Öffnung zu liegen kommt. Die Öffnung der Halterung kann aber auch größer sein, als der Querschnitt des Behälters in Höhe der Auskragungen, und zwar quadratisch sein, wobei der Behälter dann in einer axialen Höhe über den Umfang verteilt vier voneinander beabstandete Auskragungen aufweist, die auf den Rändern der Öffnung zu liegen kommen.These projections rest on the edge of the opening. According to the one variant of the solution, this opening has a cross section which corresponds in shape and size to the cross section of the container at the level of the projections. The container is then inserted into the opening in such a way that the projections come to lie between the recesses in the opening corresponding to the projections. The opening of the holder can also be larger than the cross-section of the container at the level of the projections, namely square, the container then having four mutually spaced projections at an axial height distributed over the circumference, which on the edges of the opening come to lie.

In beiden Fällen ist es nicht nur möglich, einen kreiszylinderförmig ausgebildeten Behälter von oben in die Öffnung einzuschieben, der Behälter kann auch von unten in die Öffnung der Halterung eingeschoben werden, wobei der Behälter um seine vertikale Achse so gedreht werden muß, daß die Auskragungen beim Einschieben entweder in die Ausnehmungen der kreisförmigen Öffnung passen oder in Richtung auf die Ecken der quadratischen Öffnung ausgerichtet sind. Nachdem der Behälter so weit hochgeschoben ist, daß sich die Auskragungen oberhalb der Halterung befinden, wird der Behälter um seine vertikale Achse gedreht, bis die Auskragungen oberhalb der Halterung zu liegen kommen, von dem der Behälter dann gehalten wird. Dazu ist z. B. bei einem Behälter mit vier Auskragungen und einer quadratischen Öffnung eine Drehung um 45° notwendig.In both cases it is not only possible to insert a circular cylindrical container from above into the opening, the container can also be inserted from below into the opening of the holder, the container having to be rotated about its vertical axis in such a way that the projections at Insert either fit into the recesses of the circular opening or are oriented towards the corners of the square opening. After the container is pushed up so far that the projections are above the holder, the container is rotated about its vertical axis until the projections come to lie above the holder, from which the container is then held. For this purpose, e.g. B. in a container with four projections and a square opening, a rotation of 45 ° is necessary.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Zurückdrehen des Behälters zu verhindern, kann der Rand der Öffnung Vertiefungen aufweisen, die die Auskragungen aufnehmen, und um deren Höhe der Behälter beim Eindringen in die Öffnung zusätzlich abgesenkt werden muß.In order to prevent the container from being inadvertently turned back, the edge of the opening can have depressions which accommodate the projections and the height of which the container must additionally be lowered when penetrating into the opening.

Während bei der obenbeschriebenen, aus der DE-A-2.425.752 bekannten Einrichtung die plattenförmige Halterung auf den weichen Erdboden abgelegt wird und der über die Öffnung hinausstehende Teil des Sockels in die Erde hineingedrückt wird, soll die hier vorliegende Einrichtung insbesondere in Räumen verwendet werden. Dies bedingt, daß unterhalb der Halterung für den durchhängenden Teil des Behälters Platz vorhanden sein muß.While in the device described above, known from DE-A-2,425,752, the plate-shaped holder is placed on the soft ground and the part of the base protruding beyond the opening is pressed into the ground, the present device is to be used in particular in rooms . This means that there must be space below the holder for the sagging part of the container.

Bei der Einrichtung.gemäß der FR-A-2.125.565 ist der innere auf der Halterung aufliegende Behälter kleiner, insbesondere niedriger, als der diesen umgebende, die Halterung tragende, dekorative Behälter, sodaß dort immer ausreichend Platz unterhalb der Halterung vorhanden ist.In the device according to FR-A-2.125.565, the inner container resting on the holder is smaller, in particular lower, than the surrounding decorative holder carrying the holder, so that there is always sufficient space underneath the holder.

Gemäß einer einfacheren Ausführungsform der Erfindung bildet die Halterung eine Wandung, vorzugsweise den Deckel einer Verkaufsverpackung, in der die Behälter während des Transportes angeordnet sind. Die Behälter werden dann zur Demonstration in dem Verkaufsgeschäft in die Öffnungen hineingehängt und können, wenn der Kunde diese Einrichtung mit nach Hause nimmt, kurzzeitig wieder'in die Verpackung gesteckt werden, aus der sie dann am Aufstellungsort wieder herausgenommen werden können. um sie wieder in die Halterung einzuhängen.According to a simpler embodiment of the invention, the holder forms a wall, preferably the lid of a sales packaging, in which the containers are arranged during transport. The containers are then hung in the openings for demonstration in the sales shop and, if the customer takes this device home, can be briefly reinserted into the packaging, from which they can then be removed again at the installation site. to put it back in the holder.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung bildet die Halterung den Deckel einer wasserdichten Wanne. Es können zweidimensional sowohl neben-, als auch hintereinander eine Vielzahl von behälteraufnehmenden Öffnungen vorgesehen sein.According to another embodiment of the invention, the holder forms the lid of a watertight tub. A plurality of container-receiving openings can be provided two-dimensionally, both next to and one behind the other.

Um die Bodenfreiheit für die hängenden Behälter zu erhalten, kann die Halterung auch Füße aufweisen, die länger sind, als die größte Höhe des durchhängenden Teils des Behälters, die Halterung kann aber auch an ihrem Rand von Schnüren selbsthängend gehalten sein. Insbesondere bei diesen beiden zuletzt genannten Ausführungsformen können übereinander, voneinander beabstandet, mehrere Behälter aufnehmende Halterungen vorgesehen sein, die z. B. an ihren Stirnseiten über Stege oder über Seitenwände miteinander verbunden sind. Eine solche aus mehreren Halterungen bestehende Einrichtung kann darüberhinaus einen geschlossenen Boden aufweisen, auf dem die gesamte Halterung aufsteht. Insbesondere dann, wenn die Einrichtung an Schnüren aufgehängt ist, können mehrere Halterungen auch über die die Einrichtung tragenden Schnüre miteinander verbunden sein.In order to maintain the ground clearance for the hanging containers, the holder can also have feet that are longer than the greatest height of the sagging part of the container, but the holder can also be held self-hanging on its edge by cords. In particular, in these two last-mentioned embodiments, a plurality of container-holding brackets can be provided one above the other, spaced from one another. B. are connected to one another at their end faces via webs or via side walls. Such a device consisting of several brackets can also have a closed base on which the entire bracket stands. In particular when the device is suspended from cords, a plurality of brackets can also be connected to one another via the cords carrying the device.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Halterung einen Rahmen auf. Dieser Rahmen kann nun einen gitterförmigen Rost mit Stegen tragen, zwischen denen die die Behälter aufnehmenden Öffnungen gebildet sind. Diese Öffnungen können durch sich kreuzende Stege gebildet sein, wodurch sie quadratisch ausgebildet sind, sie können jedoch auch durch parallel zueinander angeordnete Stege gebildet werden, sodaß die Öffnungen eine nicht zur Erfindung gehörende rechteckige Form aufweisen. In letzterem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, den Rand der Stege mit Vertiefungen zu versehen, in die die Auskragungen hineinreichen, um ein Verschieben oder Verdrehen der Behälter und damit ein Herausfallen derselben aus der Halterung zu verhindern.According to a preferred embodiment, the holder has a frame. This frame can now carry a grid-like grate with webs, between which the openings receiving the containers are formed. These openings can be formed by crossing webs, as a result of which they are square, but they can also be formed by webs arranged parallel to one another, so that the openings have a rectangular shape not belonging to the invention. In last In the case, it is advantageous to provide the edge of the webs with depressions into which the projections extend in order to prevent the containers from being displaced or twisted and thus falling out of the holder.

Die Stege können gegenüber zwei parallelen Stirnseiten des Rostes unter einem Winkel von weniger als 90°, z. B. unter einem Winkel von 45° vorliegen, wodurch sich eine aufgelockerte Anordnung ergibt. Bei der Ausbildung der Halterung als Rost ist es darüberhinaus vorteilhaft, die Stege so auszubilden, daß sie in ihrem Abstand voneinander veränderbar sind, insbesondere mit unregelmäßigen Abstand voneinander vorliegen können. Dazu empfiehlt es sich, die Stege an ihren Kreuzungsstellen lösbar aneinanderzufügen, insbesondere ineinanderzustecken, wobei sie an ihren freien Enden auch mit dem Rahmen lösbar verbunden sind, z. B. auf diesem aufgesteckt oder aufgelegt werden.The webs can be compared to two parallel faces of the grate at an angle of less than 90 °, z. B. at an angle of 45 °, which results in a loosened arrangement. When the holder is designed as a grate, it is also advantageous to design the webs in such a way that their spacing from one another can be changed, in particular at an irregular spacing from one another. For this purpose it is advisable to detachably join the webs at their crossing points, in particular to insert them into one another, wherein they are also detachably connected to the frame at their free ends, for. B. be plugged on or placed on this.

Gemäß einer anderen, aber auch zusätzlich zu diesem Rost verwendbaren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Halterung Elemente mit symmetrisch abgestuften Vertiefungen auf, die mit ihren Randstreifen entweder auf dem Rahmen der Halterung oder auf den Stegen des Rostes aufliegen. Die Vertiefung eines solchen Elementes weist an ihren Stufen Schwachstellen auf, an denen einzelne Stufen, eine Öffnung, in die die Behälter eingehängt werden, bildend, abtrennbar sind. Anstelle dieser Vertiefungen aufweisenden Elemente können aber auch Öffnungen aufweisende Platten auf dem Rahmen oder dem Rost der Halterung aufliegen.According to another embodiment of the invention which can also be used in addition to this grate, the holder has elements with symmetrically stepped depressions which rest with their edge strips either on the frame of the holder or on the webs of the grate. The recess of such an element has weak points at its steps, at which individual steps, forming an opening into which the containers are hung, can be separated. Instead of these elements having depressions, plates with openings can also rest on the frame or the grate of the holder.

Wenngleich in den meisten Anwendungsfällen die Halterung horizontal zu liegen kommen wird, kann diese auch gegenüber der Horizontalen unter einem Winkel geneigt angeordnet sein, sodaß in der Betrachtungsrichtung weiter hinten hängende Behälter höher angeordnet sind.Although in most applications the holder will come to rest horizontally, it can also be arranged at an angle to the horizontal, so that containers hanging further back in the viewing direction are arranged higher.

Eine Dekorationseinrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einer flächenförmigen Halterung 1, in der Öffnungen 2 vorgesehen sind, in denen Behälter 3 hängen. Diese Öffnungen 2 sind in den gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispielen kreisförmig (Figur 1 oder quadratisch (Figur 2). Die in diesen - Öffnungen 2 eingehängten bzw. einhängbaren Behälter 3 sind gemäß den dargestellten Ausführungsformen rotationssymmetrisch insbesondere kreiszylinderförmig ausgebildet.A decoration device essentially consists of a flat holder 1, in which openings 2 are provided, in which containers 3 hang. These openings 2 are circular in the illustrated exemplary embodiments (FIG. 1 or square (FIG. 2). According to the illustrated embodiments, the containers 3 which are suspended or can be suspended in these openings 2 are of a rotationally symmetrical design, in particular circular-cylindrical.

Die Behälter 3 weisen in mindestens einer axialen Höhe nach außen über die Behälterwandung vier vorstehende.Auskragungen 5 auf, gemäß den Ausführungsformen nach Figur 1 und 2 sind vier voneinander beabstandete, gleichmäßig über den Umfang des Behälters 3 verteilte Auskragungen 5 vorgesehen, die dort jeweils einen Bogen von 45° überspannen.The containers 3 have four protruding projections 5 at least one axial height outwards over the container wall; according to the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2, four projections 5 spaced apart and evenly distributed over the circumference of the container 3 are provided, each of which there one Cover 45 ° bend.

Die Öffnung 2 gemäß Figur 1 weist einen Querschnitt auf, der nach Form und Größe der äußeren Querschnittslinie des Behälters 3 in Höhe der Auskragungen 5 entspricht, d. h. die im wesentlichen kreisförmige Öffnung 2 besitzt Ausnehmungen 6, die einen Durchtritt der Auskragung 5 gestatten. Der Behälter 3 kann somit zum einen von oben in die Öffnung eingeschoben werden, wobei die Auskragungen 5 zwischen den Ausnehmungen 6 auf dem Rand der Öffnung 2 zu liegen kommen, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist, der Behälter 3 kann aber auch von unten so durch die Öffnung 2 geschoben werden, daß die Auskragungen 5 mit den Ausnehmungen 6 der Öffnung 2 fluchten. Sobald sich die Auskragungen 5 oberhalb der Halterung 1 befinden, wird der Behälter 3 um seine vertikale Achse um 45° gedreht, bis die Auskragungen 5 wieder zwischen den Ausnehmungen 6 auf dem Rand der Öffnungen 2 aufliegen können.The opening 2 according to FIG. 1 has a cross section which corresponds to the shape and size of the outer cross-sectional line of the container 3 at the level of the projections 5, i.e. H. the essentially circular opening 2 has recesses 6 which allow the projection 5 to pass through. The container 3 can thus be inserted into the opening from above, the projections 5 coming to lie on the edge of the opening 2 between the recesses 6, as shown in FIG. 2, but the container 3 can also be positioned from below are pushed through the opening 2 so that the projections 5 are aligned with the recesses 6 of the opening 2. As soon as the projections 5 are located above the holder 1, the container 3 is rotated by 45 ° about its vertical axis until the projections 5 can again rest on the edge of the openings 2 between the recesses 6.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 2, bei der die Öffnung 2 einen quadratischen Querschnitt aufweist, erfolgt das Einbringen des Behälters auf die gleiche zuvor beschriebene Weise, wobei beim Einbringen des Behälters 3 von unten in die Halterung 1 darauf zu achten ist, daß die Auskragungen beim Schieben durch die Öffnung 2 in Richtung auf die Ecken derselben zeigen und danach auf den Seitenkanten 7 der Öffnung 2 zu liegen kommen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in which the opening 2 has a square cross-section, the container is introduced in the same manner as described above, with the container 3 being introduced into the holder 1 from below to ensure that the cantilevers when Push through the opening 2 towards the corners of the same and then come to rest on the side edges 7 of the opening 2.

Bei der Ausführungsform des Behälters 3 gemäß Figur 1 sind darüberhinaus in der Höhe der nach außen vorstehenden Auskragungen 5 noch nach innen, in den Behälter 3 hineinragende Auskragungen 8 vorgesehen, auf denen sich ein eine Pflanze tragendes Element 8' abstützen kann (vergleiche mittleren Behälter 3 der oberen Halterung 1 in Figur 4).In the embodiment of the container 3 according to FIG. 1, in addition, at the height of the protrusions 5 projecting outwards, protrusions 8 projecting inwards into the container 3 are provided, on which an element 8 ′ carrying a plant can be supported (see middle container 3 the upper bracket 1 in Figure 4).

Die Halterung 1 kann unabhängig von ihrer Öffnung 2 nun verschieden ausgebildet sein.The holder 1 can now be designed differently regardless of its opening 2.

Gemäß der Ausführungsform nach Figur 5 besteht die Halterung aus einem umlaufenden, aus Leisten, z. B. Holzleisten bestehenden Rahmen 9, dessen zwischen den Leisten verbleibende Öffnungen, die die Behälter 3 aufnehmenden Öffnungen 2 bilden können, an dem jedoch - wie in Figur 5 dargestellt - Stege 10 vorgesehen sind, wodurch kleinere, insbesondere verschieden große und verschieden geformte Behälter 3 aufnehmende Öffnungen 2, einstellbar sind. Auf diese Stege 10 bzw. Leisten 9 sind nun darüberhinaus die dadurch gebildeten Öffnungen z. T. durch zusätzliche. anders ausgestaltete Halterungen 1 geschlossen. Den Figuren 3 und 5 sind Lochplatten 11 entnehmbar, deren Löcher die die Behälter 3 aufnehmenden Öffnungen 2 bilden. Diese Löcher sind hier zwar kreisförmig ausgebildet, sie können jedoch auch einen quadratischen Querschnitt haben, wie dies anhand der Figur 2 zuvor erläutert wurde.According to the embodiment of Figure 5, the holder consists of a circumferential, from strips, for. B. Wooden strips existing frame 9, the remaining openings between the strips, which can form the container 3 receiving openings 2, but on which - as shown in Figure 5 - webs 10 are provided, thereby smaller, in particular differently sized and differently shaped containers 3rd record opening 2, are adjustable. On these webs 10 or strips 9, the openings thus formed are also z. T. by additional. differently designed brackets 1 closed. FIGS. 3 and 5 show perforated plates 11, the holes of which form the openings 2 receiving the containers 3. Although these holes are circular in shape, they can also have a square cross section, as was explained previously with reference to FIG. 2.

Auf die den Rahmen 9 bildenden Leisten bzw. die Stege 10 kann eine eine symmetrisch abgestufte Vertiefung 12 aufweisende Halterung 1 aufgelegt werden. Die Stufen 12' lassen sich voneinander abtrennen, sodaß mit dieser Halterung 1 verschieden große Öffnungen 2 gebildet werden können, je nachdem, wieviel Stufen 12' man abtrennt. Eine Halterung 1 kann dabei mehrere zu Öffnungen 2 ausbildbare Vertiefungen 12 aufweisen, wie dies in der Figur 5 dargestellt ist.A holder 1 having a symmetrically graduated depression 12 can be placed on the strips or the webs 10 forming the frame 9. The stages 12 'can be separated from one another, so that openings 1 of different sizes can be formed with this holder 1, depending on how many stages 12' are separated. A holder 1 can have a plurality of depressions 12 which can be formed into openings 2, as is shown in FIG. 5.

Die Auskragungen 5 der Behälter 3 liegen dabei auf den horizontalen Flächen der Stufen auf, während die vertikalen Flächen der Stufen die Behälterwandung tangieren.The projections 5 of the container 3 lie on the horizontal surfaces of the steps, while the vertical surfaces of the steps affect the container wall.

Der aus Leisten bestehende, die Halterung 1 bildende bzw. weitere Halterungen 1 tragende Rahmen 9 kann nun auf den oberen Rändern eines oben offenen, insbesondere wasserdichten Kastens 13 aufliegen, wie dies in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, wobei dieser Kasten als Aquarium, Terrarium oder dergleichen verwendbar ist, und dann aus einem durchsichtigen Material besteht oder, insbesondere bei Verwendung der Behälter für lichtempfindliche Wurzeln aufweisende Pflanzen aus einem lichtundurchlässigen Material hergestellt ist.The frame 9 consisting of strips, forming the holder 1 or carrying further holders 1 can now rest on the upper edges of an open, in particular watertight box 13, as shown in FIG. 3, this box as an aquarium, terrarium or the like is usable, and then consists of a transparent material or, especially when using the container for photosensitive roots having plants made of an opaque material.

Die Halterung kann nach einem nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auch den Deckel einer Versandschachtel bilden, in deren Deckel der Umfangslinie des Behälters 3 entsprechende Öffnungen 2, z. B. bei einem kreiszylinderförmigen Behälter 3 eine kreisförmige Öffnung 2, ausgebildet ist. Ein erfindungsgemäßes Einschieben der Behälter 3 von unten in die Halterung 1 zum Hängen des Behälters ist hier jedoch nicht möglich. Eine solche Ausführungsform bietet sich aber für den Beginn des Aufbaus einer größeren Einrichtung, wie z. B. der in Figur 3, an. Bei einer solchen Versandschachtel kann die der die Halterung 1 bildenden Seitenwand gegenüber liegende Seitenwand durchsichtig ausgebildet sein, so daß man den verpackten Behälter 3 sehen kann, andererseits ist das die Wurzeln einer Pflanze aufnehmende, untere Teil des Behälters 3 lichtgeschützt in der aufgestellten Einrichtung angeordnet.The holder can also form the lid of a shipping box according to an embodiment, not shown, in the lid of the circumferential line of the container 3 corresponding openings 2, z. B. in a circular cylindrical container 3, a circular opening 2 is formed. An inventive insertion of the container 3 from below into the holder 1 for hanging the container is not possible here. Such an embodiment offers itself for the beginning of the construction of a larger device, such as. B. the in Figure 3. In such a shipping box, the side wall opposite the bracket 1 forming the side wall can be made transparent so that one can see the packaged container 3, on the other hand the lower part of the container 3 receiving the roots of a plant is arranged protected from light in the set-up device.

Gemäß der Ausführungsform nach Figur 4 ist die Einrichtung regalförmig ausgebildet, d. h. zwei Halterungen 1 bzw. Reihen von Halterungen 1 sind übereinander angeordnet. Die in der Zeichnung obere Halterung 1 besteht hier aus einer langen, schmalen Platte, in der die die Behälter 3 aufnehmenden Öffnungen entlang der Mittellinie angeordnet sind. Wie ersichtlich, sind diese Öffnungen verschieden groß, um verschieden große Behälter 3 aufzunehmen. Weiterhin ist dieser Halterung 1 auch zu entnehmen, daß Behälter 3 identischer Form und Größe dann, wenn in zwei vertikalen Höhen Auskragungen 5 vorgesehen sind, in verschiedenen Höhen in der Halterung 1 hängen können.According to the embodiment of Figure 4, the device is shelf-shaped, i. H. two brackets 1 or rows of brackets 1 are arranged one above the other. The upper holder 1 in the drawing here consists of a long, narrow plate in which the openings 3 receiving the containers are arranged along the center line. As can be seen, these openings are of different sizes in order to accommodate containers 3 of different sizes. Furthermore, it can also be seen from this holder 1 that containers 3 of identical shape and size can hang at different heights in the holder 1 when projections 5 are provided in two vertical heights.

Unterhalb der zuvor beschriebenen Halterung 1 ist hier ein Rahmen 9 aus Leisten vorgesehen, auf die Halterungen 1 mit oben beschriebenen, symmetrisch abgestuften Vertiefungen 12 aufgelegt sind. Bei diesen drei gezeichneten Halterungen werden verschieden große Öffnungen dadurch gebildet, daß eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Stufen abgeschnitten wird. Während der linke Behälter 3' den größten Durchmesser aufweist und auf der ersten Stufe von oben aufliegt, liegt der einen etwas kleineren Durchmesser aufweisende, rechte Behälter 3" auf der zweiten verbleibenden Stufe und der mittlere, schmalste Behälter 3"' auf der vierten Stufe auf, und damit insgesamt am tiefsten.Below the holder 1 described above, a frame 9 is provided here, on which holders 1 with the symmetrically graduated recesses 12 described above are placed. In these three drawn brackets, openings of different sizes are formed by cutting off a different number of steps. While the left-hand container 3 'has the largest diameter and rests on the first stage from above, the right-hand container 3 ", which has a somewhat smaller diameter, rests on the second remaining stage and the middle, narrowest container 3"' rests on the fourth stage , and the deepest overall.

Die beiden übereinander angeordneten Halterungen 1 bzw. Gruppen von Halterungen sind hier über an ihren Stirnseiten angeordnete Bretter 14 miteinander verbunden, die hier unter den Rahmen 9 hinaus verlängert sind und an deren Ende eine den Boden der Einrichtung bildende Platte 16 halten.The two brackets 1 or groups of brackets arranged one above the other are connected here by boards 14 arranged on their end faces, which here are extended under the frame 9 and at the end of which hold a plate 16 forming the bottom of the device.

Die Einrichtung gemäß Figur 4 kann nun entweder mit ihrem Boden 16 auf einem Tisch stehen oder, wie dies in Figur 4 dargestellt ist, über Schraubösen 17 von Schnüren 18 hängend gehalten werden. In letzterem Fall ist es möglich, auch den Boden 16 mit Öffnungen 2 zu versehen, sodaß aus der gesamten Einrichtung auch nach unten heraus Behälter 3 vorstehen können.The device according to FIG. 4 can now either stand with its base 16 on a table or, as shown in FIG. 4, can be kept hanging from cords 18 via screw eyes 17. In the latter case, it is also possible to provide the bottom 16 with openings 2, so that containers 3 can also protrude downward from the entire device.

Mehrere Übereinander angeordnete Halterungen 1 bzw. von Rahmen 9 getragene Gruppen von Halterungen 1 können gemäß einer nicht dargestellten, der in Figur 4 gezeigten, ähnlichen Ausführungsform auch dadurch voneinander beabstandet aufgehängt werden, daß anstelle der Seitenwände bildenden Bretter 14 die Schnüre 18 jeweils unterhalb der Halterung 1 bzw. des Rahmens 9 verknotet, bis zur untersten Halterung bzw. bis zum untersten Rahmen reichen.A plurality of brackets 1 arranged one above the other or groups of brackets 1 carried by frame 9 can, according to a not shown embodiment similar to that shown in FIG. 4, also be suspended at a distance from one another in that instead of the boards 14 forming the side walls, the cords 18 are each below the bracket 1 or the frame 9 knotted to reach the lowest bracket or to the lowest frame.

Bei der Einrichtung gemäß Figur 4 kann darüberhinaus neben den Seitenwänden 14 auch noch eine Vorder- und eine Rückwand vorhanden sein, sodaß der unterhalb des Rahmens 9 liegende Raum völlig abgedunkelt ist. Um nun andererseits zur Kontrolle des Wasserstandes in den Behältern 3 diese nicht herausnehmen zu müssen, was insbesondere dann mühselig ist, wenn eine Vielzahl von Behältern 3 vorgesehen ist, ist eine solche Vorderwand aufklappbar oder verschiebbar ausgebildet. Dadurch können die Wurzeln der Pflanzen vor Lichtstrahlen geschützt werden, andererseits läßt sich auf einfache Art und Weise der Wasserstand in den Behältern kontrollieren, was dann, wenn die Behälter selbst aus einem lichtundurchlässigen Material bestehen, sehr schwierig ist.In the device according to FIG. 4, in addition to the side walls 14, a front and a rear wall can also be present, so that the space below the frame 9 is completely darkened. On the other hand, in order not to have to take out the water level in the containers 3 to check the water level, which is particularly troublesome when a multiplicity of containers 3 is provided, such a front wall can be opened or slid. This allows the roots of the plants to be protected from light rays, on the other hand, the water level in the containers can be checked in a simple manner, which is very difficult when the containers themselves are made of an opaque material.
