Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the accessories for windows and in particular to a device for fixing flowerpot holders to window sills.
- both the internal and the external window sill can be used as a bearing surface for pots of flowers and plants, for the stability of which are used, especially externally, blocking members of various kinds such as horizontally-oriented plates or bars, whose ends are fixed to the wall structure around the window.
- Such solutions are not very safe in terms of stability of the pot positioned externally, since they are in contact with the pot but do not fix it to the window sill.
- they are aesthetically not very pleasant since the encumbrance of pot and plant can obstruct the view towards the outside and passage of light towards the inside.
- fixing said blocking members always involves an invasive work on said wall structures.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for fixing flowerpot holders to window sills which overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks.
- a first remarkable advantage of the fixing device according to the present invention derives from the fixing means shaped as a bracket which allows to fix the flowerpot holder to the window sill without breaking the wall structure and the window sill itself.
- a second remarkable advantage of the present device is the possibility to be adapted to window sills of various thickness, thanks to the arrangement of the clamps along guides which permit their width regulation as a function of the window sill itself.
- Another advantage of the present fixing device is due to the fact that the flowerpots, once inserted into the flowerpot holder, according to the present invention do not represent an encumbrance any more from the physical or visual point of view, since the upper edge of said flowerpots is substantially in line with the window sill, possibly under the upper surface thereof. In this way, it is possible to optimize the exploitation of the window sill as a support for improving the aspect of the house front wall with flowers and ornamental plants, thus leaving free the upper surface of the window sill itself.
- the fixing device 1 for flowerpot holders comprises a quadrangular plate 2, preferably made of press-bent steel, which is rigidly connected to the flowerpot holder, as shown in Fig.1.
- Said plate 2 has a flat portion 2a resting on the upper surface of the window sill 3, well shown in fig. 3. If needed, said portion can be provided with anti-sliding members 4 between said resting portion 2a and the window sill 3.
- a second portion 2b bent downwards with a right angle, which is thus parallel to the lateral surface of the window sill 3 and to the wall 5 below.
- plate 2 in the final part terminates with two successive portions 2c and 2d bent at right angle, one towards the inside and therefore perpendicular to the wall 5, the last one again parallel to the wall.
- vertical slits have been made (not shown in the figure) preferably two, which function as guides for a corresponding number of clamps 6.
- a second plate 7 which has also a quadrangular shape and is bent at right angle, one end of which is bent backwards, so as to allow the fixing to the grooving 8 or drip, typically present on the lower surface of the window sill 3 and well evidenced in Fig. 2.
- the fixing device 1 takes on the profile of a "C" turned upside down which like a bracket embraces the external portion of the window sill 3.
- Said clamps 6 are formed each of a threaded member (not shown in the figure) and of a hand-grip 9 which, when turned in one direction, blocks plate 2 and said second plate 7 thus ensuring a tight and stable grip of the entire structure to the window sill itself; when turned in the other direction, looses the grip thus allowing clamps 6 as well as plate 9 to slide along the guides, for removing easily the flowerpot holder structure, without the help of any tool.
- Spacer members 10 can be provided at the lower end of the vertical portion 2b of the plate 2, which faces wall 5, preferably in the number of two, having the function, being adjustable according to the distance from the wall, of keeping the flowerpot holder structure in line with the wall, in addition to providing a support for a greater resistance against the deformation due to the weight of flowerpots 11, as shown in Fig. 1.
- said spacer members 10 are positioned in the vertical lower portion 2d, which is also closest to the wall, in order to reduce the mechanical loading stresses on the wall itself.
- floerpot holder a structure formed of round bars bent and welded to each other, so as to produce a very light and mechanically resistant flowerpot holder.
- the flowerpot holder is formed of a structure similar to an open cage formed of round bars, bent and welded to each other, rigidly connected to plate 2, preferable welded thereto, so that the plane formed by the open upper side of said cage structure is at the same or a lower level with respect to the upper surface of the window sill 3.
- the above mentioned device for fixing flowerpot holders to window sills obtains the desired objects, since the fixing to the window sill is obtained without invasive works on the walls, in addition to allowing an adjustable fixing according to the thickness of the window sill.
- the embodiment for fixing flowerpot holders to window sills is just one example, which may be subject to a number of variations.
- the second plate that is fixed to the drip could be formed of a single member of the same width of the first plate or of a lower width; or, the use of more elements of variable width according to the needs can be foreseen.
- the first plate can be bent at different angles from the right, for example a first right angle, then a second obtuse, then an acute, as to reproduce the shape of the flowerpot which will be contained therein.
- the materials useful for manufacturing the device for fixing flowerpot holders according to the present invention it is possible to select materials different from steel or plastic materials, provided that they are sufficiently resistant to the loads which can be foreseen for this use.
- Various aesthetical measures can be taken for improving the aspect of the device for fixing flowerpot holders to window sills, for example in order to bring it into line with the style of the building whereto it will be applied.
