Abstract

The support has a frontal edge (2) and two side edges (3) articulated around a bottom on which a flower stand is disposed. The side edges form suspending hooks so that maintenance of tub is laterally and frontally assured by edges in an open position. The frontal edge is folded back on the bottom and side edges to form a plate piece in a folded position. The piece has a size equal to that of bottom and low thickness.

SUPPORT DE JARDINIERE REPLIABLE A PLAT A ACCROCHER AUX BALUSTRADES DE BALCONS. FOLDABLE PLANTER SUPPORT WITH FLAT TO HANG TO BALUSTRADES OF BALCONIES.

Cette invention peut être réalisée indifféremment dans plusieurs techniques et/ou matériaux différents par exemple ferronnerie, injection plastique etc. Dans un souci de simplification elle est ici présentée en fil d'acier et de forme rectangulaire. D'autres formes de support pourraient être envisagées (par exemple carrée) pour s'adapter à tout type de bac. This invention can be carried out indifferently in several different techniques and / or materials, for example ironwork, plastic injection, etc. For the sake of simplification, it is presented here in steel wire and of rectangular shape. Other forms of support could be envisaged (for example square) to adapt to any type of container.

Les bacs à fleurs classiques du marché sont dépourvus de système d'accrochage permettant de les suspendre aux balustrades ou aux gardes corps. Généralement il est nécessaire pour les suspendre d'avoir recours à des supports de jardinières appelés communément "balconières". Ces d o supports sont volumineux et sont mal adaptés au transport et au stockage lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés. Conventional flower boxes on the market have no hanging system to hang them from railings or body guards. Generally it is necessary to suspend them to use planter supports commonly called "balconies". These d o supports are bulky and are unsuitable for transport and storage when not in use.

La présente invention répond aux besoins des utilisateurs en ce qui concerne la fonction de support et d'accrochage, mais permet en plus le pliage à plat pour le transport, le stockage ou le rangement dans un faible 15 volume. La mise en forme du support s'effectue par simple dépliage des trois bords qui s'auto-verrouillent ensembles. Les deux bords latéraux formant les crochets de suspente. The present invention meets the needs of the users with regard to the support and hanging function, but also allows flat folding for transport, storage or storage in a small volume. The support is shaped by simple unfolding of the three edges which self-lock together. The two side edges forming the hanger hooks.

Le bridage en position ouverte de l'ensemble étant assuré par l'accrochage des bords latéraux au bord frontal, ainsi que par la mise en place Z cO du support sur la balustrade. The clamping in the open position of the assembly being ensured by the attachment of the lateral edges to the front edge, as well as by the installation Z cO of the support on the balustrade.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. La figure 1 représente l'invention assemblée. La figure 2 représente le mode de pliage à plat de l'invention. La figure 3 représente un éclaté des pièces de l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. Figure 1 shows the assembled invention. FIG. 2 represents the flat folding mode of the invention. Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the parts of the invention.

La présente invention se présente sous la forme suivante. Le fond (1) 25 1;sur lequel vient se poser la jardinière sert d'axe d'articulation au bord frontal (2) axe X et de charnière aux bords latéraux (3) axe Y, il comporte un dispositif (4) fixe de maintien de la verticalité. Ces articulations peuvent être formées par des boucles en fil d'acier ou tout autre dispositif d'articulation adaptable. Les bords latéraux (3) forment les crochets de suspente en fil 30 d'acier ou tout autre matériau pouvant convenir à cette fonction. Le bord frontal se crochète aux bords latéraux avec des crochets (5). Le maintien du bac est assuré latéralement et frontalement par les bords en position ouverts. The present invention is in the following form. The bottom (1) 25 1; on which the planter rests serves as a hinge axis at the front edge (2) X axis and as a hinge at the lateral edges (3) Y axis, it includes a device (4) fixed maintaining verticality. These joints can be formed by steel wire loops or any other adaptable joint device. The lateral edges (3) form the hanging hooks made of steel wire or any other material which may be suitable for this function. The front edge is hooked to the side edges with hooks (5). The retention of the tank is ensured laterally and frontally by the edges in the open position.

Sur l'arrière la retenue est assurée par la forme (6) spécifique du fond. La butée arrière est complétée par la balustrade qui sert aussi d'appui au 35 dispositif de maintien de la verticalité (4). Les formes du fond, des bords ainsi que la position des axes d'articulation permettent le pliage de l'ensemble dans le même plan (fig 2). En position pliée, le bord frontal se rabat sur le fond ainsi que les deux bords latéraux pour ne former plus qu'une pièce plate de dimensions sensiblement égales à celles du fond et de faible épaisseur. On the back the retention is ensured by the specific shape (6) of the bottom. The rear stop is completed by the balustrade which also serves as a support for the device for maintaining the verticality (4). The shapes of the bottom, the edges and the position of the hinge pins allow the assembly to be folded in the same plane (fig 2). In the folded position, the front edge folds over the bottom as well as the two lateral edges so as to form only one flat piece of dimensions substantially equal to those of the bottom and of small thickness.

Claims

1- Foldable planter support flat to hang on balcony railings, characterized by a bottom (1) on which the planter comes to rest and around which are articulated a front edge (2) and two lateral edges (3), the edge front hooked to the lateral edges by hooks (5), and the lateral edges (3) forming the device hooks, so that the container is held laterally and frontally by the edges in the open position and that in the folded position, the front edge folds over the bottom as well as the two lateral edges to form only one flat piece, of dimensions substantially equal to those of the bottom and of small thickness.

2- Planter support according to claim 1, characterized in that the articulations of the front edges (2) and lateral (3) with the bottom (1) are formed by loops of steel wire.

3- Planter support according to claim 1, characterized in that the lateral edges constituting the device hooks are made of steel wire.

4- Planter support according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises a device (4) fixed for maintaining the verticality.

5- Planter support according to claim 4, characterized in that on the rear, the retention is ensured by the specific shape (6) of the bottom, the rear stop being completed by the balustrade which also serves as a support for the maintaining verticality (4).

6- Planter support according to claim 1, characterized by forms other than rectangular that can adapt to any type of tray.
