PORTABLE AND EXTENSIBLE PROPAGATING DEVICE Filed July 3, 1926 x ATTORNEY Dec. 3, llhll t es ".121 I 1h tha l all m E- GERTRUDE EVELEENEDWAHDS, OF SABLE RIVER, "WEST, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA PURTABLE AND EXTENSIBLE PROPAGATING DEVICE Application filed July 3, 1926. Serial No. 120,460.
The object of this invention is to provide a device or the character indicated, intended for use in truck gardens, and in private gardens, for the purpose of protecting or torcing the growth 01' young plants.
A further object is to provide a device which is or such reasonable cost that it may be employed by many individuals unable to go to the expense of building a greenhouse, the device here referred to being of simple construction, adapted to be quickly set up, and as quickly transferred to a new position, and being constructed in units sothat it may be indefinitely extended, the end joints being closed if desired by glass or other end sections, and each of the units being provided with a cutaway portion forming an end errtension adaped to overlap an oppositely located extension of the adjacent unit.
A. further object is to provide units which may be constructed throughout of wood, or may be constructed with glass panels.
A further object is to provide for connecting a plurality of side members, for forming one unit, by means at hinges, and in such manner that when not in use, these members will lie Hat and may be stored in large numbers, within a very small space.
A further object is to provide for securing the units, so that they will not be displaced by wind pressure.
l Vith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of elements described, illustrated and claimed, it being understood that modifications may be made within the scope of the claim without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawing torming part of this application,
l igure 1 is a view or": thedevice in side elevation two units being shown.
Figure 2 is a view in end elevation.
Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Figure 1, showing the overlapping ends of the units.
Figure 4t is a section on line it-4t of Figure 1, showing the relative position. at the elements at the hinge joint.
stake, of particular form, employed for securing the units to the ground.
The units each consist of two sash members or frames, designated and 12, or may consist of two side members, either formed of 5 framed elements, or formed of a single board or sheet of other suitable material.
In Figure 1 the sash members each com prise. an upper and lower longitudinal strip, the lower strip being designated 10, and the end strips being shown at 11 and 13. The glass panes or panels are designated 14:, and any suitable number may be employed, but a convenient andard frame or sash includes four glass panels.
The end members of the sashes or frames are cut away as illustrated more particularly in Figure 8, and opposite ends of each sash are chaintered to form an extension 16 on one end, and at the outer side of the frame,the other endot each sash member being cut away to form an inner extension 17. These extensions or projections 16 and 17 of adjacent units overlap as shown in Figure 3 and permit of indefinite extension of the structure as a whole. It will beobserved that abutting longitudinal and connecting elements of ad j acent units form joint connections with flush exterior surfaces to provide continuous reenforced side and upper edge portions for a series of units.
Each upper strip is beveled as shown at 19, and hinges 20 are mortised into the strips, the rolled portions of the hinges projecting beyond the angle formed by the oppositelylocated strips, so that the side members may i be folded flat, when not in use, and when moved to the position shown in Figures 2 and 4c, the sash members will be approximately perpendicular with reference to each other, but the angle may vary.
Triangular end frames each carry downwardly extending pins 26, adapted to be forced into the ground, and these end members are adapted to be held in vertical posi- 95 tion by braces such as 27. q
The retaining devices for the side members 10 and 12 of each unit are shown in Figures 1,
2 and 5, and from an inspection of these views it will be apparent that eta-lies 28 are em-- 1.00
