Description

Title: HORTICULTURAL OR BIOREGRADABLE POT OR BUCKET AND COMPOSTABLE PRE-DOSE

The present invention relates to a pot or bucket or horticultural shelf or market gardening biodegradable and compostable pre-dosed compacted compost and compost. The invention is intended for amateur gardeners and garden and horticultural professionals. The prior art reported in DE3938738, discloses firstly the use of a pot designed cardboard covered on both sides of a biodegradable film coating. FRI 302348 provides information on the formation of a paper or cardboard pot with biodegradable and compostable plastic film lamination or lamination. FRI 402875 and FR1800659 report the design of a plant pot incorporating a pre-dosed potting mix and a sealed operculum.

Therefore the invention aims to a substantial extent to overcome the current disadvantages and to bring new features of a pot or container or bucket horticultural or market gardening biodegradable and compostable predosed.

The design, development and manufacture according to the present invention of a pre-dosed biodegradable and biodegradable pot or container and its advantages will become more apparent in the description below, as well as the accompanying drawings which illustrate the present invention. .

Figure 1 schematically shows a biodegradable and compostable pot.

With reference to FIG.

The present invention has to make technical improvements on the horticultural pot or bucket or biodegradable vegetable garden and compostable pre-dosed.

The pre-dosed biodegradable and biodegradable compostable horticultural pot or bucket (1) is formed from a virgin or recycled paper or cardboard or honeycomb or recycled cardboard or honeycomb paper or from a pulp molded and compressed without unnatural chemical additive (2) which will bear at least one of the sides of the wall and the bottom of the pot or the cup or the shelf a rolling or a film or a coating of biodegradable biosourced plastic and compostable (2A) made from corn starch or potatoes or beets, etc.

The pot thus formed will have on its upper part rolled or flat edges to receive a disposable sealed or peelable lid (3) or a lid incorporating edges to fit perfectly on said pot according to the invention.

In that the lid will be shaped to have a recess to form or become a liquid retention cup exudates from the pot when there is a perforated bottom.

According to a complementary preference the pot or bucket is clay, or peat or biodegradable plastic and compostable, or paperstone (registered trademark) and be provided with a disposable lid or reusable nesting. Therefore it is understood that the principle of affixing a lid a disposable or reusable lid is possible for biodegradable pots and compostable.

In both cases, the lid is a cover made and shaped from a laminated or film-coated paper or cardboard which has on at least one side a biodegradable and compostable coating. Inside the bucket or pot according to the invention takes place a compact compressed or compacted compost (4) and / or incorporating one or more defined seeds and / or vitamins and / or growth hormones.

According to one variant, the soil may be a gelled substrate specially adapted to certain crops. The inside and / or outside of the pot or bucket accept inscriptions or markings in the form of text or drawings. It will include the water level mark during the first watering to decompress the soil.

According to another variant of the invention the pot or bucket can be perforated by windows practiced at strategic locations.

It can also incorporate pre-cuts that will be validated by the user when the said pot or bucket is put into service. For example: root aeration perforations and overflow flow.

To better protect the composted potting soil with or without seed and to guarantee a possible contamination the potting soil (4) can be filmed and / or receive a compostable biodegradable film of protection (5) or the apposition of a biodegradable compostable waterproof pelabie protection which marries the inner contour of the pot or bucket.

Another embodiment is still possible in that one of the layers of the complex for producing the bucket or pot or container, incorporates one of the agents such as: inorganic and / or selective organic antimicrobials.

The antimicrobials are selective in that they do not compromise the biodegradability and compostability of the product nor kill the microorganisms that favor them, as well as chemical or synthetic or naturally occurring fertilizers and antifungals, for example species or atomized oils or powders or plant extracts.

Yet another variant is to increase or increase the resistance to the internal or external pressure of said pot by applying a non-woven web of PLA (thermoplastic) only.

During the formation of the pot, it will proceed to a grooving on the other hand on the cardboard or paper in the perpendicular direction and grooving in the horizontal direction for what represents the bottom of the pot or container or bucket. Thus, after the use and the spilling of its contents it will suffice to produce a pressure on both sides of the pot to put it flat. This will have advantages, facilitate its transport, reduced space and less manipulation during its grinding.

In order to ensure the good preservation and protection of the pot during its transport it will adopt a crystal or transparent film biodegradable and compostable beforehand that will perfectly fit the contours of the finished product according to the present invention

To facilitate the transport of pots or buckets is provided a tray of paper or cardboard laminated with a biodegradable compostable coating that incorporates total perforations to receive and position and maintain slightly frustoconical pots. This tray serves at the same time packaging and protection aux or godets stacked into each other prepared for sale.

It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the fields of activity mentioned above, as well as the substantial improvements that may result therefrom.
