Abstract

Functional tray device for the transportation of culture pots (3), allowing also the filling and cultivation thereof. The device is comprised of the combination of an intercalary empty space (10) situated between the base (5) of the alveole network and the peripheral walls (6) carrying the tray, then by the cylindrical alveol network (2) with integral low and high opening, and then by a slight peripheral obliquity (4) provided from the upper portion of the alveole network. The device provides for the stabilized positioning of culture pots (3), their protection against shocks and external aggressions of insects or the like and is characterized by the sealed hooping which provides for an aerated microclimate without desiccation.

Description

Dispositif de plateau fonctionnel pour le transport des pots de culture permettant également leur remplissage et leur élevage. Functional tray device for transporting culture pots also allowing them to be filled and reared.
Il est destiné à assurer le positionnement stabilisé 5 des pots de culture, leur protection contre les chocs et les agres¬ sions extérieures des insectes ou autres et par l'étanchéité du cerclage qui assure un micro climat aéré et sans dessiccation. Il est connu d'utiliser des plateaux préforméε pour le positionnement des pots de culture, mais ces derniers ne permet- ÎO taient pas système radiculaire un bon développement à l'extérieur du pot de culture.It is intended to ensure the stabilized positioning 5 of the culture pots, their protection against shocks and external aggres¬ sions of insects or others and by the sealing of the strapping which ensures an airy micro climate and without drying. It is known to use preformed trays for positioning the culture pots, but these do not allow a good development outside the culture pot.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention - permet par ses formes fonctionnelles d'assurer la protection au cours des manuten¬ tions des pots de culture, tout en permettant le développement des 15 masses racinaires, leur nutrition et leur aération pour réaliser lors de leur transplantation toutes les conditions requises pour une reprise sans déchet, il assure également par l'étanchéité des jointages la réalisation d'un micro climat évitant les d ssicca¬ tions tout en activant la végétation. 20. Il est constitué par la combinaison d'abord par un vide intercalaire situé entre la base de l'alvéolage et les parois périphériques portantes du plateau, ensuite par l'alvéolage cylindrique à ouverture intégrale basse et haute, et enfin par une légère obliquité périphérique réalisée à la partie supérieure 25 de l'alvéolage.The device according to the invention - makes it possible, by its functional forms, to provide protection during the handling of the culture pots, while allowing the development of the root masses, their nutrition and their aeration to achieve all of their transplantation. the conditions required for a recovery without waste, it also ensures by the tightness of the joints the realization of a micro climate avoiding d ssicca¬ tions while activating the vegetation. 20. It is constituted by the combination first of all by an intermediate space located between the base of the honeycomb and the bearing peripheral walls of the tray, then by the cylindrical honeycomb with low and high integral opening, and finally by a slight obliquity peripheral produced at the upper part 25 of the blister.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention :In the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention:
La figure 1 montre vu en coupe et en élévation le 0 profil fonctionnel du plateau.Figure 1 shows seen in section and in elevation the 0 functional profile of the tray.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe et en élévation de l'ensemble du plateau.Figure 2 is a sectional and elevational view of the entire tray.
Les figures 3 et A montrent vu de face et en plan des détails constructifs du plateau. 5 La figure 5 représente une application du dispositif. Le plateau (Fig 1 à 4) est préfèrent lellement en matière synthétique expansée 1.Figures 3 and A show front and plan view of the constructive details of the plate. 5 Figure 5 shows an application of the device. The tray (Fig 1 to 4) is preferably made of expanded synthetic material 1.
L'alvéolage cylindrique 2 retenant 7c pot de culture 3 légèrement conique comporte à sa partie supérieure un léger chan¬ frein ou profilage oblique 4.The cylindrical honeycomb 2 retaining 7c slightly conical culture pot 3 has at its upper part a slight chan¬ brake or oblique profiling 4.
Par contre, la paroi inférieure 5 est surélevée par le dépassement 6 de la paroi périphérique par rapport à la surface porteuse 7.On the other hand, the lower wall 5 is raised by the protrusion 6 of the peripheral wall with respect to the bearing surface 7.
Les alvéolages 8, 9 sont espacés et préférentiellement implantés en quinconce (fig 4) et leur base 11 surplombe le "vide intercalaire 10 dans lequel s'effectue une circulation d'air.The dimples 8, 9 are spaced apart and preferably located in staggered rows (fig 4) and their base 11 overhangs the " intermediate space 10 in which air circulation takes place.
Les parois transversales 12 généralement étanches peuvent être munies d'orifices 13 formant à la fois poignées de préhension et des fenêtres pour la circulation d'air.The generally watertight transverse walls 12 can be provided with orifices 13 forming both grip handles and windows for air circulation.
Les parois 14 du pot de culture 3 sont généralement obliques avec ouvertures sur le bord et sur les parois latérales 14.The walls 14 of the culture pot 3 are generally oblique with openings on the edge and on the side walls 14.
Les racines 15, 16 se développent dans les espaces 17 et 10.Roots 15, 16 develop in spaces 17 and 10.
Le plateau reposant sur la surface portante 7 permet par son vide intercalaire 10 une circulation d'air ou de fluide s'il s'agit de culture hydroponiques.The plate resting on the bearing surface 7 allows by its intermediate vacuum 10 a circulation of air or fluid if it is a hydroponic culture.
Ces plateaux se gerbent et les pots sont espacés grâce au vide 10. Par contre, s'ils sont placés sur des étagères 7 ou même sur le sol, l'espace intercalaire protège la base du pot 18 tout en assurant le développement des racines 15, 16.These trays stack and the pots are spaced apart by the vacuum 10. On the other hand, if they are placed on shelves 7 or even on the ground, the intermediate space protects the base of the pot 18 while ensuring the development of the roots 15 , 16.
L'extraction est facilitée par le fait que l'orifice est cylindrique et le pot généralement conique, ce qui évite tout coincement.The extraction is facilitated by the fact that the orifice is cylindrical and the pot generally conical, which avoids any jamming.
Enfin avec ou sans orifices latéraux la totalité du système radiculaire est en permanence à l'abri des variations de température et des agressions extérieures même celle provenant des insectes. Ce micro climat évite les dessiccations et le dépérisse¬ ment des végétaux.Finally with or without lateral orifices the entire root system is permanently sheltered from temperature variations and external attacks, even that caused by insects. This micro-climate prevents desiccation and dieback of plants.
La légère obliquité de la partie supérieure 4 de l'alvéolage cylindrique à ouverture totale assure une obturation étanche par contact avec la paroi oblique du pot 3.The slight obliquity of the upper part 4 of the cylindrical honeycomb with total opening ensures a tight sealing by contact with the oblique wall of the pot 3.
Toutefois les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents comme d'ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication, sans changer pour cela, la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite. However, the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limit of equivalents, as moreover the materials used for their manufacture, without changing the general conception of the invention which has just been described.
