Definitions
- Container for growing a plant, cultivation method and clamp for placing the container
- the present invention relates to a new container for growing a plant.
- Concentration of the roots in the lower part of the pot is not desirable since there is a risk of asphyxiation and deformation of the roots.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known pots intended for growing plants.
- a new container for growing a plant characterized by the fact that it has an enlarged base and an openwork side wall.
- the side wall is folded, the outer edges of the folds being preferably arranged like the generators of a cone, the container then being stackable.
- the side wall is ribbed, the ribs projecting inward.
- the side wall has vertical main strands projecting inwards to guide the roots towards the bottom and to prevent them from developing in a spiral.
- the side wall has horizontal strands some of which protrude outside and have a section whose profile is chosen to so as to divert the rainwater flowing down the side wall towards the interior of the container.
- each large mesh delimited by two successive horizontal strands and two successive vertical main strands comprises a plurality of filaments connecting the two horizontal strands and extending substantially parallel to one another and parallel to the two main vertical strands.
- the bottom of the container is closed by a cover such as a saucer.
- the container has a weakened rupture line making it possible to tear its side wall.
- the subject of the invention is also a method for growing plants, characterized in that it comprises the steps consisting in:
- Another subject of the invention is a clamp capable of being used to hold a plant stem down when the container is placed on its root system, this clamp being characterized by the fact that it has two jaws capable of clamping the stem of the plant without injuring it, these jaws also being shaped to retain the soil introduced into the container disposed upside down around the roots of the plant.
- the subject of the invention is also a container for plants having a capacity of between 4 and 12 liters, produced by injection, having an enlarged base, open at its two axial ends, the cross section of this container increasing in proximity to its base.
- the side wall of the container being pleated, the radially outermost edges of the folds extending like the generaters of a cone, each side wall section comprising a plurality of openings, which each preferably have a general trapezoidal shape, the side wall preferably having at least 30% of its surface which is perforated.
- the invention also relates to an assembly consisting of a container as mentioned above, and a saucer shaped to adjust to its base.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a plant cultivated in a container according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 represents schematically, seen from above, the container of FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a partial view of the container shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
- FIG. 4 is two partial sections of the side wall of the container
- _ ia Figure 6 is a schematic view illustrating the filling of the container.
- FIG 1 a container 1 according to the invention, filled with soil and containing the root system of a plant P.
- the container 1 is made, in the example described, of plastic and has a cross section generally increasing as one approaches the base, i.e. the ground in Figure 1.
- a biofragmentable or biodegradable plastic material having a lifespan greater than three years but less than five years.
- a plastic material commonly used is used for molding plastic articles, for example polypropylene.
- the container 1 can be placed directly with its base flat on a drainage structure C resting on the ground S.
- the drainage structure C can consist, for example, of a draining grid with crossed wires 1 cm thick, lined on the surface of a 300 microns mesh synthetic fabric stretched over the grid.
- the roots of the plant can cross and anchor in the tissue which improves the stability of the container against the wind.
- the characteristics of the fabric make it behave like a barrier which slows the development of the roots having crossed it.
- the capacity of the container 1 is for example between 4 and 12 liters.
- the container 1 is provided with a bottom consisting of a cup and rests via this cup on the ground.
- FIG. 2 shows the container 1 viewed from above in isolation.
- the side wall 3 of the container 1 is pleated, the fold lines 4 being each contained in a plane containing the axis of the container, this axis being perpendicular to the plane of Figure 2.
- the folds give a certain radial elasticity to the container which can thus be filled over its entire height with a more or less large volume of soil.
- the radially outermost fold lines extend like the generatrices of a cone whose axis corresponds to the axis of the container and whose slope at the top makes, in the embodiment described, 15%.
- Two successive sides of the side wall 3 have been shown in isolation in FIG. 3, showing the structure of the frame of the container 1.
- This framework comprises a set of vertical main strands 4 which substantially coincide with the fold lines 4 and a set of horizontal strands, which extend parallel to the base of the container.
- the horizontal and main vertical strands are joined at their intersections to form large meshes of generally trapezoidal shape.
- the horizontal strands 16 and 17 which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the container 1 have a larger section than the adjacent horizontal strands, which are marked with the reference 7.
- the horizontal strand 16 has a rectangular section whose long side is parallel to the plane of the side wall section which carries it. It is the same for the horizontal strand 17 located at the lower end of the container.
- the horizontal strand 16 has a width of 15 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm and the horizontal strand 17 has a width of 5 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm.
- the horizontal strands 9 which are located respectively at the mid-height and three-quarters of the height of the container also have a larger section than the horizontal strands 7 adjacent.
- these strands 9 form a projection on the outer surface of the container to collect rainwater.
- Each large mesh delimited by the meeting of two successive horizontal strands and two successive vertical main strands comprises a series of filaments 5 which are arranged parallel to each other and to the vertical main strands 4, between the horizontal strands.
- the side wall 3 has ten horizontal strands, twenty six vertical main strands 4, and each large mesh has nine filaments 5.
- each filament 5 is alternately slightly curved towards the inside of the container and towards the outside, from one large mesh to another.
- each filament 5 has a generally rectangular shape in section, the long side of which is parallel to the plane of the side wall section 3 which includes the filament concerned.
- the width of a filament 5 can be 1 mm and its thickness of 0.75 mm.
- the horizontal strands 9 have a rectangular section whose long side is parallel to the plane of the side wall section considered, the width being for example 4 mm and the thickness 1 mm.
- the horizontal strands 7 are, in the example described, 3 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick.
- the main vertical strands 4 have a triangular section, as shown in FIG. 5, with a width of 2 mm at the base and a height of 3 mm.
- the top of these strands 4 is oriented towards the interior of the container so as to constitute guides for the roots.
- the filaments 5 are preferably mechanically weak enough so as to be able to move apart during the enlargement of the roots which would cross the side wall of the container. The filaments 5 also delay the drying out of the soil contained in the container.
- the side wall comprises at least 30% and preferably more than 40% of its surface which is perforated.
- the container is molded with its final shape by an injection process so as to obtain the part directly in a single operation.
- the container from a sheet of plastic which is molded flat then demolded and pleated to form the container, the two free edges of the sheet being joined together for example by assembly means located at the level of the lower 17 and upper 16 horizontal strands and of the intermediate horizontal strands 9.
- a weakened rupture line is provided to allow the user to remove the container by tearing the side wall in the vertical direction.
- the plant is placed in the container by means of a bracket 15 as shown in FIG. 7.
- This bracket 15 comprises a mast 16 to which is fixed, preferably with a possibility of adjustment in height, a support 17 comprising jaws 18 able to clamp the trunk or the stem of the plant P.
- the support 17 is also advantageously equipped with several inclined, adjustable metal rods to hold the container in place during filling, whatever its volume.
- the jaws 18 preferably have jaws covered with an elastically deformable material, so that the clamping of the jaws does not cause injury to the plant.
- the jaws are shaped so that they prevent the soil which is introduced into the container from falling through the space between the bottom edge of the container and the trunk.
- a cover 19 such as a saucer which constitutes, once the plant is turned over, a bottom.
- This cover 19 is for example of cardboard material whose thickness is chosen so that it is rigid enough to allow the first manipulations of the plant, or plastic.
- This cover 19 can be retained in the enlarged base of the container by any means, for example by lugs fixed to the side wall and projecting inwards.
- the cover has reliefs able to cooperate with the base of the container in order to keep it in place.
- the bottom consists of a round of rigid cardboard 1 mm thick, pierced with seventeen holes 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter.
- the invention has many advantages.
- the invention also allows the formation of a substantially conical clod of earth and roots with an enlarged base, more respectful of the natural architecture of the root system than the clods of earth and roots which are formed during the cultivation of plants. in traditional pots of frustoconical shape widened upwards.
- the folds also help guide the roots, avoiding the phenomenon of chumbleage.
- the container installed in culture is more stable and in particular is more difficult to overturn in the event of strong gusts of wind.
- Plant transplantation is also facilitated.
- Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the plant can easily be transported by holding it by the trunk or the stem since there is no risk of extracting the clod of soil and roots from the container.
- the plant can be shipped without a container thanks to the fact that the clod of soil and roots stands by itself.
- the invention also makes it possible to save plastic thanks to the presence of the numerous openings in the side wall.
- a container can be filled with a greater or lesser volume of substrate when the side wall is folded, which is advantageous since it is thus possible to propose a single container for different volumes, for example 7, 8 and 9 liters, only the saucer being specific to a given volume.
