Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decorative object, comprising at least one sealed container which is at least partly transparent and at least partly filled with a liquid, and in which at least one plant is situated.
  • a decorative object is known, e.g. from US 2 601 658 A .
  • US 2 601 658 A discloses a decorative object or immersed floral display which includes a transparent spherical container, in which source material - i.e. flowers or plants which are at the peak of their natural beauty - is displayed.
  • source material i.e. flowers or plants which are at the peak of their natural beauty - is displayed.
  • the flowers or plants are first sealed in a continuous, impermeable and opaque integument.
  • the sealed plants or flowers are than stuck on a block of styrofoam that is connected to a part of the cover of the container.
  • the container is then inverted, filled with liquid and the flowers are inserted through the neck of the container, after which the cuplike cover is screwed onto the neck to close the container. Then the entire assembly is inverted and placed on the cover.
  • US 2 724 213 A discloses a flower holder that is very similar to the device shown and described in US 2 601 658 A .
  • flowers are attached to the inside of a cover, which is arranged on an inverted transparent container, which is filled with water or a nutritient. After the cover has been tightly screwed into the neck of the container, the assembly is inverted and stands on its cover.
  • KR 2000 049798 A there is disclosed a transparent test tube for plant cultivation and decoration that enables to observe plants growing or blooming therein and that has decoration effect.
  • a holder supporting the test tube can be positioned in a narrow space.
  • the test tube which contains a nutritious liquid is capped by a cover having internal spacers.
  • the prior art document US 4 328 641 A relates to a method and receptacle for growing plants, rather than to any decorative objects.
  • plants are grown in a container that is partially filled with water and are held in a holding device which may be moved up and down within the container to define the amount of space for the roots of the plant.
  • a holding device which may be moved up and down within the container to define the amount of space for the roots of the plant.
  • the container is opened by removing a cap and the plant can continue growing outside the container. It may also be transplanted to another container or planted in the earth.
  • JP 07 264943 A method is disclosed for growing plant tissue in which the plant is placed in a container that is partially filled with agar medium. The plant is grown by shading the air-filled part of the container and illuminating the agar medium. This document does not seem to relate to any decorative object.
  • a transparent seedling container which may be worn as an article of jewellery.
  • the container includes a dry mass of material and a sproutable seed.
  • the seed is caused to germinate by adding water, which requires the container to be opened periodically.
  • the invention now has for its object to provide an improved decorative object on the basis of a plant in a container. According to the invention this is achieved in a decorative object as defined in the preamble, in that the container has a seal permanently connected thereto, and in that there are means for regulating the growth of the at least one plant, the plant growth-regulating means being formed by one or more substances present in the liquid and being adapted to limit the growth of the at least one plant to the height of the container. Accommodating the plant or plants in a sealed container prevents it/them being influenced by the environment, so that it is possible to do without periodic care. Using growth-regulating means to limit the growth of the plant(s) to the height of the container allows the plant(s) to remain in the container indefinitely.
  • the plant growth regulating means comprise a mixture of growth-stimulating means and growth-inhibiting means.
  • the growth-stimulating means are chosen from the group consisting of auxin, cytokinin, brassinosteroids and gibberellin, and the growth-inhibiting means are chosen from the group consisting of abscisic acid and ethylene.
  • the at least one plant is preferably fully immersed in the liquid, whereby ambient influences are excluded still further and optimal conditions can be set for the plant(s).
  • the plant(s) immersed in the liquid remain(s) clean, while the liquid-filled container with the plant(s) herein has a bright appearance.
  • the interior of the at least one container is sterile.
  • the at least one container can take the form of a test tube.
  • a test tube can moreover be integrated in many ways into support members of varying form and dimensions.
  • the support member can thus take the form of a rack in which the or each container is suspended.
  • the "high-tech” appearance is hereby enhanced further.
  • the at least one plant is a cutting, meristem, bulb, seed or piece of tissue culture.
  • a decorative object 1 comprises a container 2, here in the form of a test tube, which is received in a support member 3 which stands on a surface G ( figure 1 ).
  • support member 3 is formed by bending a strip of metal, and has a foot 4 resting on surface G and a C-shaped standing part 5 into which two openings 6 are recessed.
  • Container 2 protrudes through these openings 6 and rests with its base on foot 4.
  • container 2 Accommodated in container 2, which is almost wholly filled with liquid 7, is a plant 8 which lies under liquid surface L and is thus fully immersed in liquid 7.
  • the plant hereby remains attractive under all conditions, while the container 2 almost wholly filled with liquid 7 makes a lively impression.
  • Plant 8 can be placed in container 2 in the form of a cutting, meristem, bulb, seed or even a piece of tissue culture, whereafter plant growth-regulating means in liquid 7 ensure that, while plant 8 does grow, the growth thereof nevertheless remains limited such that plant 8 does not grow out of container 2.
  • Use can be made for this purpose of a suitably chosen mixture of growth-stimulating means such as auxin, cytokinin, brassinosteroids and gibberellin, and growth-inhibiting means such as abscisic acid and ethylene.
  • the content of container 2 is otherwise sterilized, for instance in an autoclave, to prevent problems in respect of infection.
  • a cap 9 which can be connected non-releasably, and so permanently, to container 2.
  • Device 1 is therefore prepared once-only, whereafter plant 8 can in principle be kept therein indefinitely. Device 1 is then of course not suitable for re-use.
  • the decorative object 1 comprises a number of identical containers 2, here four, which are suspended in a support member 3 embodied as a rack ( figure 2 ).
  • support member 3 has two side walls 10, between which two beams 11, 12 are fixed.
  • Recessed into upper beam 11 is a number of openings 6 in which containers 2 can be suspended.
  • containers 2 are each provided for this purpose close to their top side with a peripheral edge or collar 13 which comes to rest on the edge of opening 6.
  • This figure also shows schematically that the plant growth-regulating means collect close to the bottom of each container 2, where the roots R of plants 8 are situated.
  • rack 3 can herein be manufactured from any suitable material. For a laboratory-like or "high-tech” appearance this could for instance be formed from a transparent plastic such as acrylic plastic. For a more cheerful or homely appearance, use could conversely be made of coloured plastics and/or natural materials.
  • Containers of completely different shape for instance containers of spherical, rectangular or irregular form, could therefore also be used.
  • the containers have to be wholly transparent, but use could be made of containers which are partially opaque or coloured.
  • the support member could for instance be provided with lighting directed at the container so as to also cause the plant to stand out well at night.
  • a plurality of plants can further be accommodated in a container. The scope of the invention is therefore defined solely by the appended claims.
