Definitions

  • Known pot sleeves are made of plastic, usually from a pleated PVC film. This is a "normal" PVC film, which is alternately folded and placed on top of one another, to then be put together to form a ring that can be easily stretched around a flowerpot.
  • CH-A-170725 specifies the features of the preamble of the claim. However, the cuff is closed by snaps and not in one piece, as with the PVC films.
  • the pot sleeve according to the invention is particularly visually appealing. Due to the water-repellent properties of the irregularly structured creped paper - also single-colored or multi-colored - it remains aesthetically appealing for a long time.

Description

Bekannte Topfmanschetten bestehen aus Kunststoff, und zwar üblicherweise aus einer plissierten PVC-Folie. Dies ist eine "normale" PVC-Folie, die wechselweise geknickt und aufeinandergelegt wird, um dann zu einem Ring zusammengefügt zu werden, der leicht gespannt um einen Blumentopf gelegt werden kann.Known pot sleeves are made of plastic, usually from a pleated PVC film. This is a "normal" PVC film, which is alternately folded and placed on top of one another, to then be put together to form a ring that can be easily stretched around a flowerpot.

Derartige Topfmanschetten werden derzeit angeboten, der Verkehr lehnt sie jedoch zunehmend als "unnatürlich" ab und sie stellen darüber hinaus nach Gebrauch ein Entsorgungsproblem dar.Such cuffs are currently on offer, but traffic is increasingly rejecting them as "unnatural" and, moreover, they pose a disposal problem after use.

Es ist weiter bekannt, gekrepptes Papier zu benutzen. In CH-A-170725 sind die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs angegeben. Allerdings ist die Manschette durch Druckknöpfe geschlossen und nicht einstückig, wie bei den PVC-Folien.It is also known to use creped paper. CH-A-170725 specifies the features of the preamble of the claim. However, the cuff is closed by snaps and not in one piece, as with the PVC films.

Das Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 besagt, daß diese Topfmanschetten wasserabweisend sein müssen, da sie ansonsten bei einer Verwendung an einem Blumentopf schlicht ungeeignet sind.The characterizing part of claim 1 states that these pot sleeves must be water-repellent, since they are otherwise simply unsuitable for use on a flower pot.

Es hat sich dabei als wesentlich herausgestellt, daß bei richtiger Wahl der Parameter bei der Herstellung die Farbe des Papieres nicht ausfärbt, wenn sie nach der Herstellung noch feucht werden sollte.It has been found to be essential that, if the parameters are correctly selected during production, the color of the paper will not color if it should become damp after production.

Darüber hinaus ist die erfindungsgemäße Topfmanschette optisch besonders ansprechend. Aufgrund der wasserabweisenden Eigenschaften des unregelmäßig strukturierten gekreppten Papiers - auch einfarbig oder mehrfarbig - bleibt es lange Zeit ästhetisch ansprechend.In addition, the pot sleeve according to the invention is particularly visually appealing. Due to the water-repellent properties of the irregularly structured creped paper - also single-colored or multi-colored - it remains aesthetically appealing for a long time.

Mittig und/oder randseitig (zylindrisch) können Bahnen oder schmale Streifen vorgesehen sein, die - unterschiedlich bzw. dichter gekreppt - eine Federzugwirkung unterstützen. Die Tompfmanschette wird so betont wiederverwendbar.In the center and / or on the edge (cylindrical), webs or narrow strips can be provided which - differently or more creped - support a spring-loaded effect. The tump cuff is thus reusable.

Claims (1)

  1. A pot sleeve made of a self-contained material which has a limited resilient stretching capacity in a peripheral direction by virtue of multiple folded deformation, the multiple folded deformation being produced by crimping rather than pleating, characterised in that the sleeve is made of a water-repellant paper, and that the water-repellant paper is dyed so that it will not discolour.
