Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structure to hang flower pots onto balcony railings and the like.
  • FR 2 796 540 A discloses a structure according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a known type of metal structure is composed of a parallelepiped cage open on the upward side in order to insert the pot which has to be placed on a horizontal subbase previously oriented inside the cage. From the small sides of the cage two shaped, hooked hangers are extending in order to reach and engage the handrail. The connection between the small cage sides and the hangers is realized in such a way that it is possible to adjust the distance wanted between pot and railing.
  • each small side of the cage is engaged to the corresponding hanger by means of a pair of winged screws to unloose in order to effect the wanted adjustment and, then, to tighten in order to fix this adjustment.
  • the lower part of the cage is maintained distanced from the railing stakes by means of a fix dog applied to the perimetrical cage rim turned towards the railing.
  • a known type of plastic structure is realized together with the pot which is also plastic moulded.
  • This structure is composed of a pair of hangers for hooking onto a handrail, to be applied on the small sides of the upper rectangular flower pot rim, and of an adjustable distance piece of plate type protruding from the flower pot front turned towards the railing.
  • the adjustment of this protusion is made by means of fastening or loosening of a screw which is positioned on the outer side of the flower pot opposite the railing.
  • the principal inconvenience of the first structure type is recognizable in the difficulty for the end user to effect the wanted adjustment and in the high production and assembling costs caused by the screw adjustment system. Furthermore, this structure is unsuitable because of the metal pieces forming the cage. In fact, even if the pieces are coated with a cover paint of good thickness often you find uncovered metal ends causing wounds, even deep wounds, on the user's arms, f.ex. when he is doing the adjustment operations, the introduction of the flower pot, or fixing the structure to the railing.
  • the principal inconvenience of the second structure type is in the high costs for realizing the mould and in the complexity of the mechanic connection between the distance plate and its respective adjustment screw.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned inconveniences of the known state of the art realizing a structure to hang flower pots on a blacony railing or the like according to claim 1, which allows, particularly, an easy and promptly praticable regulation of the distance between pot and railing, reducing to a minimum the costs for realization of the structure.
  • Preferred features of the structure are set out in the dependent claims.
  • one object of this invention consists in setting up a structure which obviates injury risk for the user during handling.
  • the structure 5 to hang flower pots 6 onto a balcony railing 7 and the like is composed first of all of a cage 8 to contain minimum one flower pot 6 of rectangular type.
  • This cage 8 is fit for hooking on the handrail 9 of the balcony railing 7.
  • this cage 8 is composed of one pair of metal pieces 10, shaped like an "S" laid down on one side. The shape of these metal pieces 10 determines for each of them one pair of curves with almost squared angles, one of which turned upwards and the other downwards, indicated by reference numbers 11 and 12.
  • the curve 11 is inserted the flower pot 6 and positioned, whereas the curve 12 is engaged by the handrail 9.
  • the flower pot 6, on the outer surface 13 of the bottom 14 is equipped with one pair of preformed grooves 15 which receive the horizontal portions of the metal pieces 10 as shown in the figures 3 and 4.
  • the structure 5 is equipped with adjusters, globally indicated by reference number 16, which allow the user to adapt, as he wants, the distance of the hanging flower pot 6 from the railing 7.
  • these adjusters 16 are formed by a distance element 17 having a central part 18 leaning against the stakes 19 of the railing 7 and the terminal parts 20 fitted into a preformed recess 21 of the flower pot 6.
  • the distance element 17 may be formed, indifferently, like an arch or according to the perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid without the upper base.
  • the distance piece 17 consists in the fact that it is elastically deformable in order to allow the fitting into and out from the recess 21 by means of a light pressure on the terminal parts 20.
  • recess 21 it is obtained centrally on the outer surface 13 of the bottom 14 and is extended lengthwise to both sides beyond the metal pieces 10 which, therefore, have the function to keep in position from below the terminal parts 20 of the distance element 17.
  • Another peculiarity of the recess 21 consists in the fact that it forms an opening 22 on the edge 23 of the flower pot 6 realized between the bottom 14 and the side 24 of the pot 6 turned towards the balcony railing 7. Through this opening 22 the distance element 17 juts out.
  • the recess 21 is preferably conformed like the shape of the distance element 17.
  • the structure for hanging flower pots onto a balcony railing and the like achieves the present aim and objects as it permits, on the one hand, to effect a very simple adjustment of the pot distance from the railing and, on the other hand, to reduce the production costs to a minimum because it is neither necessary to use systems equipped with screws and the like, nor to make complicated moulds forming rectangular flower pots. Furthermore, the possibility to house the distance element inside the recess does not disturb the flower pot piling, thus obtaining further cost savings both for warehouse and for shipment.
