Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for receiving plants, which can be attached to the railing of a balcony and colloquially as also referred to below as a balcony box.
  • Balcony boxes have been commercially available for decades and are used to decorate balconies, and in some cases kitchen herbs are also grown for daily use. In order not to give away space on the balcony, the balcony boxes are usually mounted on the outside of the balcony parapet. Because of the danger of falling, such as during assembly due to awkwardness, during storms or other problematic weather conditions, or due to animals such as birds, cats, martens, squirrels and the like, high security requirements must be placed on these fixtures.
  • angled metal strips with recesses are used, which are screwed together.
  • two such holders are used, which carry a balcony flower box, which is usually made of plastic.
  • Each of the two holders has an upper angle plate, which encloses on one side of the railing on the side facing the balcony and on the other, the balcony facing away outside the flower box holds from above.
  • it has a second lower angle sheet, which supports the flower box from below.
  • a third angle plate extends the bottom support and holds the flower box on the entire bottom and surrounds it to the balcony outside.
  • a fourth angle plate can be adjusted so that a defined distance to the balcony railing is effected.
  • Each of the two holders has three detachable connections. Per balcony box so six screw connections are required. If the installation is carried out properly, this design is considered complex but safe. However, the assembly quality can only be verified poorly, should screws loosen due to vibrations, for example due to wind flow and the resulting typical Karman vortex streets, which are also responsible for the fluttering of flags, this is not recognizable at first.
  • wire baskets which are suitable to receive balcony boxes. These usually have permanent links curved hooks with which they can be hung on the balcony railing. Also versions with recessed saucers are available in stores. An example of this describes the FR 2573 615 A1 in which a wire frame is described, which is suitable for receiving a flower box.
  • JP 11 089441 A discloses a plant container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Wire baskets of this type have the disadvantage that they require much more space during transport because of their outstanding attachment hooks as the separable holder described above, which makes their economy in transport and trade disadvantageous.
  • Dismountable wire racks but would generally have the disadvantage that complex connections would have to be designed because simple screw connections are not suitable for connecting wires.
  • the window boxes are attached to the railings of the balconies from spring to autumn.
  • the window boxes must be kept in a frost-proof place in winter, for example in cellars or attic rooms, or they can remain on the balcony in winter.
  • a housing on the windows of living rooms such as on an inner window sill, a protected outdoor windowsill, or, in special multiple glazing, even in the interstices, or even in a conservatory.
  • the usual window boxes here have the unpleasant property that they are difficult to clean in the filled state, without getting detergent to the plants.
  • the usual balcony boxes are open on their undersides to prevent waterlogging due to rain. If you put these flower boxes as they are on window sills, you run the risk that when watering excess water could leak. As a result, there is a need for saucers or planters, which are also available and claim storage space during the period of non-use.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an economical solution that no longer has the disadvantages described above and allows year-round use at different places at home.
  • the plant container has a rectangular plan. It is advantageous if the upper open cross section is greater than the lower closed cross section of the basket. This ensures that the baskets can be stacked during transport and it results in a very space-saving and economical way to transport the balcony box and to bring in the trade.
  • the two releasable fasteners with which the carriers are fastened to the support frame, are designed as screw connections, in which the screws are screwed from the outside through the sprawling outer skin into the planar reinforcements. Since the screws are arranged in the vertical section, the safety requirements are taken into account in particular, a self-loosening is practically impossible.
  • the planar reinforcements have continuous internal thread, which can be secured on the inside with a lock nut against automatic loosening.
  • the support frame may alternatively be formed of a frame of solid wires, ie a pure rod frame, or of a plastic basket, which is held by wires, that is, a combination of rod frame with supporting Surface elements. In both cases, the plant container still has an additional outer clothing.
  • the support frame is formed by a rod frame of interconnected rods. It can be provided that the two carriers enclose the bar frame on its underside, so that hook the two carriers.
  • rod frame and struts are always rigid materials to understand that have round or rectangular cross-sections.
  • the materials used are preferably steel wires, which are welded together and then coated. But also possible rods and struts of wood or bamboo or similar materials with suitable fasteners, combinations of different materials are possible.
  • wickerworks are suitable, which are permeable to water and air, so that no waterlogging forms.
  • fabrics can also be easily cleaned if they are to change their location during the seasons.
  • a further embodiment relates to the carriers which are connected to the spacer. It is provided here that the rotatable connections are preferably designed so that they can each be rotated by at least a quarter turn and that the spacer is bent like a trough. In this way, the two spacers can be designed so that they form a unit that can be folded and placed in the bottom of the balcony box during transport and trade.
  • the two carriers support the bottom closed plastic basket at the bottom.
  • FIG. 1 shows the balcony box without covering in one embodiment with a wire frame as a support frame
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b showing the holders, explained in more detail, but the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment with a support frame with metal ring and plastic basket.
  • FIG. 1 shows the upper circulation strut 1 and the underlying revolving strut 2.
  • the reinforcing plate 3 In the front area is located between the two circulation struts, the reinforcing plate 3 with the holes 4a and 4b, each having an internal thread.
  • the two supports 5a and 5b are conveyncerender from the outside Fastened screws, wherein the two carriers each have a bore 6a and 6b, which in FIG. 1 coincide with the holes 4a and 4b.
  • Both beams are respectively bent in the upper area 7a and 7b, so that they may comprise a balcony railing.
  • the lower area 8a and 8b both are bent in the opposite direction, wherein the radius of the bend is significantly smaller, so that the lower strut 9a can be included.
  • the lower struts 9b to 9g form the bottom of the balcony box, they are connected to the lateral struts 10a to 10j, which of course also further struts can be provided.
  • the fabric is not shown.
  • the two carriers 5a and 5b are connected to the spacer 11 via the connections 12a and 12b, the connections being respectively rotatable.
  • FIG. 2a shows a carrier system with two carriers 5a and 5b with the holes 6a and 6b, the bends in the upper region 7a and 7b and those in the lower region 8a and 8b, further the spacer 11 with the connections 12a and 12b.
  • FIG. 2b shows the same system in the folded state. It can be folded so folded during transport in the bottom of the balcony box, which allows a space-saving transport.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through an embodiment with a plastic basket 13 having a peripheral edge 14. Below this peripheral edge 14, a metal ring 15 is arranged, which comprises the entire plastic basket 13.
  • the metal ring 15 is provided with planar reinforcements 16, which have the holes 4 with an internal thread.
  • the carriers 7 and 8 are connected to the spacer 11 with each other.
  • the connection 12 to the spacer 11 can also be used for fixing the plastic basket 13, which in FIG. 3 not shown.
  • the fabric 17 is free of stress and can develop stabilizing or purely decorative effect.
