Description

The utility model relates to plant growing, in particular to cassettes for growing seedlings of trees, shrubs, etc. with a closed root system.

A known seedling cassette contains cells united by a clip and connected to each other in the upper part, tapering towards the bottom and with a hole in the bottom, the walls of the cells have vertical ribs on the inner surface and vertical slits, the cells are connected to each other in the upper part by means of vertical jumpers , characterized in that the cells are made with alternating wide and narrow walls tapering downward, in plan, forming an octagon, while the thickness of the wide wall in the lower part is 10-15% greater than in the upper part, while the vertical slots are made solid and located on parts of wide walls having a large thickness, and vertical ribs are made on the inner surface of wide and narrow walls (patent No. 209957, IPC A01G 9/029, publ. 03/24/2022).

The closest in terms of the totality of essential features is a cassette for growing seedlings, containing cells united by a clip and connected to each other in the upper part with a square cross-section tapering downwards and with a hole in the bottom, the walls of the cells have vertical ribs on the inner surface and vertical slits, the walls of the cells are connected by means of horizontal and vertical jumpers, and the vertical slots are made intermittent, while the cells are made with rounded corners (patent No. 184914, IPC A01G 9/00, published November 14, 2018).

The disadvantages of the known technical solutions are that they do not provide the most natural and correct development of the root system.

The technical result of the proposed utility model is to achieve the most natural and correct development of the root system

This technical result is achieved by the fact that a forest seedling cassette containing cells united by a clip and connected to each other in the upper part with a square cross-section tapering towards the bottom and with a hole in the bottom, the walls of the cells have vertical ribs on the inner surface and vertical slits and connected by means of horizontal and vertical jumpers, and the vertical slots are made intermittent, the corner wall is made in the form of a conical sector located at an acute downward angle, while the hole in the bottom part is made with intersecting jumpers.

New features of the proposed device are the execution of the corner wall in the form of a conical sector located at an acute downward angle, and the opening of the bottom part with intersecting jumpers.

The utility model is illustrated with images:

fig. 1 - forest seedling cassette, general view from a ¾ perspective;

fig. 2 - forest seedling cassette, straight view;

fig. 3 - forest seedling cassette, top view.

The forest seedling cassette contains 1 united by a clip and 2 connected to each other in the upper part of the cell.

The holder 1 extends slightly outward from the cells 2, which allows the cassettes to be stacked, and is made with grooves 3 in the corners, which facilitate the release of adjacent stacked cassettes from the stack.

Cells 1 are made with a square cross-section with rounded corners in the upper part. The corner wall 4 of cell 2 is made in the form of a conical sector located at an acute angle downwards. This allows you to get cells 1, tapering downwards.

The side walls 5 of cells 1 have vertical ribs 6 on the inner surface and are designed to guide plant roots.

In addition, the side walls 5 are made with vertical slots 7, made intermittent. Slots 7 prevent the formation of a lack of oxygen in the peat lump in cell 1 and at the same time act as drainage in case of excessive watering.

The cells 1 are connected to each other and to the holder 2 by means of vertical jumpers 8. The vertical jumpers 8 are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the cells 1. The vertical jumpers 8 are also stops that prevent the cassettes from sticking together during transportation and storage.

In the connected state, the upper ribs of the walls of adjacent cells 1 form a platform with a hole 9 made in it to drain excess water.

The hole in the bottom part of cell 1 is made with intersecting jumpers 10 connecting the walls of cell 1. Excess irrigation water easily flows out of the bottom hole. Thanks to the open bottom of cell 1, watering is also possible from below. In this case, the cassette is equipped with a tray.

The inner surface of cells 1 has a glossy surface, which greatly facilitates the removal of seedlings from cells 1.

Vertical slots 7 and vertical ribs 6 in the side walls 5 of cells 1 contribute to the most natural and correct development of the root system. The roots branch strongly and, reaching the cracks 7, are subjected to “air treatment”, which, in turn, contributes to the formation of active root tips, ready for growth when seedlings are planted.

Cells 1 can be made of different heights for growing different seedlings. Depending on the size of the cells, their number in the cassette may vary.

All of the above characteristics of a forest seedling cassette contribute to the most natural and correct development of the root system.

Thus, the technical result has been achieved.

The inventive forest seedling cassette can be manufactured on standard equipment using modern materials and technologies.
