Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plant supporting stake made of plastic and designed for staking plants.
  • Supporting stakes are particularly used in gardening where such plants are grown which must be tied to a stake.
  • Examples are twining plants, high plants and plants which look best when they are fastened to a stake stuck into the plant medium in the pot.
  • Hitherto known supporting stakes are designed as straight stakes of suitable lengths which are normal ⁇ ly pointed at one end in order more easily to be stuck into the growth medium.
  • binding wire is normally used for attach ⁇ ing the plant stems to the stake, which binding wire has a core of metal wire so as to enable it to be tied around the stake and stem and be closed by being twisted or bent.
  • Another type of binding wire con ⁇ sists of a slotted metal ring which can be carried over the stake above the stem and thus keep the two parts together.
  • Holders are known from the specification of DK patent no. 102,600 and US patent no. 2,124,049 for retain ⁇ ing plant parts on a stake, the said holders being provided with openings for the stake and plant stem, respectively, so that" the holder can be secured to the stake and hold the plant.
  • the binding wire may slide down, especially around the stake so that the. plant may eventually collapse although it is tied to the stake.
  • the pointed end of the stake is merely stuck into the pot ground, whereafter the stem is inserted into the curve formed by the fingers where the stake is secured due to its abutment against the fingers. Since, as already mentioned, the fingers are fixed to the stake, the plant will not tend to collapse so easily in that a leaf stem or the like will prevent further downward sliding. A quick and more reliable staking of plant stems is hereby obtained, and this is done without damaging the plant stem in any way.
  • the plant can be inserted into the holder in an easy and very careful manner, and the staking will be more carefully carried out, because the fingers will support the plant stems at a certain interdistance without limit ⁇ ing the freedom of movement of the plant stems. If the outermost end of the fingers point inwardly towards the centre of the interior of the ring, as presented in claim 3, the plant stem can first of all be pressed in between the fingers and, secondly, be prevented from sliding out in that it would then be caught by one of the bent parts of the fingers.
  • Fig. 1 is a side wiev of a supporting stake.
  • Fig. 2 shows the supporting stake seen at right angles thereto
  • Fig. 3 shows the fingers seen in the direction
  • Fig. 4 shows the fingers seen in the direction IV- IV in fig. 1, and
  • Fig. 5 shows the supporting stake after placement in a pot and staking of the plant.
  • Figs. 1-4 show an example of a preferred embodiment of a plant supporting stake according to the invent ⁇ ion.
  • the stake proper 7 has a cross- shaped profile, as shown in figs. 3 and 4, in order to obtain optimum rigidity and hence stability at the lowest possible material consumption.
  • the length of the stake 7 can be of any desired or convenient length according to its intended use, and it may be tapered to a point 5 in the bottom so that it is easily stuck into the growth medium in a flowerpot 4, as shown in fig. 5.
  • the stake is preferably made of plastic having a certain resilience, and it can be dyed to match the surroundings and become as discreet as possible.
  • a straight stake it can be designed in other known manners, for instance having an inter- laced or latticed pattern which can be stuck into the growth medium in the pot and to which the plant can be secured.
  • a number of curved fingers 8 are cast, in pairs from the same point 2 on the stake, as is seen in figs. 1-4.
  • the fingers describe a curve which two and two form an inner area 10 in which the plant stem 3 can be placed.
  • the outermost parts of the fingers 8 are bent towards the interior 10 of the ring in that the outermost of the fingers 9 form a V- shaped opening.
  • the fingers 8 are arranged at a level standing at an angle on the longitudinal axis of the stake 7, as shown in fig. 1. Such an angle may be about 45°. This permits the individual fingers 8, 9 to be twisted sideways when the stem 3 is pressed in; this is done without meeting any significant resistance due to the length of the fingers, whereby the stem is protected from being damaged.
  • the stem 3 Once the stem 3 is in place it cannot fall out since it will be retained by one of the two flanges 9. At the end of these flanges 9 the fingers are provided with a thickened part which protects the stem from being damaged.
  • the fingers 8, 9 are resilient; consequently they can be twisted and bent toward each other and thus close the passage to and from the interior of the ring 10.

Abstract

L'utilisation d'un tuteur (7) pour plantes pourvu de languettes de retenue (6, 8, 9) placées aux points appropriés sur le tuteur (7) et orientées par rapport à lui, permet un tuteurage ou un soutien simples et sûrs d'une plante (3) placée dans un pot (4) ou dans un endroit similaire. La tige (3) de la plante est facilement passée par pression entre les languettes (6, 8, 9) et disposée dans l'espace intérieur (10) des languettes sans être endommagée étant donné que les languettes pivotent facilement de côtés lorsque la tige est passée par pression dans les languettes. Les languettes (6, 8, 9) étant assujetties au tuteur (7), la plante ne retombe pas même si elle est maintenue lâche entre les languettes.
