Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container and also a method for holding plant material.
  • Such containers are for instance frequently applied in the form of a culture tray during culture of plant material.
  • a container comprises a plurality of holders with a surface between the individual holders.
  • the holder of the container is filled with a substrate, in which or on which is planted plant material, for instance a seed, a cutting or a seedling.
  • This plant material is then brought to development by, among other methods, supplying the substrate with nutrients.
  • These nutrients are usually sprayed over the container and the plant material from above as a liquid or dissolved in a liquid.
  • the distance between the holders in such a container is determined by the space required by the plant material to allow growth.
  • holders with increasingly smaller dimensions can be applied.
  • the invention has for its object to obviate, or at least to alleviate this drawback.
  • the container for holding plant material comprises at least one holder with an opening on what is the top side thereof during use, a surface which is arranged at least partially round the opening, wherein the surface is oriented at an incline toward the holder and the surface is oriented at an incline such that liquid on the surface flows to the holder, wherein an additional holder is connected to the surface and an additional surface is arranged between the surface and the additional holder, wherein the additional surface is oriented at an incline toward the additional holder and the additional surface is oriented at an incline such that liquid on the additional surface flows to the additional holder, and wherein the surface and the additional surface are a unit.
  • the surface around the holder is oriented at an incline toward the holder and the surface is oriented at an incline such that liquid on the surface flows to the holder, nutrient which would otherwise come to lie adjacently of the holder nevertheless flows or streams or rolls to its intended location, i.e to the substrate and the plant material. Because there is arranged between the surface and the additional holder an additional surface which is oriented at an incline toward the additional holder such that liquid on the additional surface flows to the additional holder, all liquid which comes to lie between the holder and the additional holder is apportioned between the two holders .
  • a container with a plurality of holders can thus be realized in which - despite the greater distances between the smaller holders - all liquid which comes to lie between adjacent holders finishes up in one of the adjacent holders.
  • the surface is straight. This can be favourable in the manufacture of the container. This is because similar containers are usually made according to a method based on injection moulding, for which purpose a mould must be manufactured. Straight surfaces are easier to realize in determined processing methods applied in the manufacture of such a mould.
  • the surface is curved.
  • the surface is concave as seen from what is the top side of the holder in use. The further the liquid on the surface is removed from the holder, the greater the acceleration hereby imparted to the liquid under the influence of the force of gravity. This prevents liquid being slowed down sufficiently by friction with the surface that it remains lying on the surface.
  • a discharge opening is arranged in the holder on what is the underside thereof during use. Excess liquid can flow out of the holder through this discharge opening and the plant material does not "drown".
  • the additional surface can also be realized in different alternative embodiments: straight, curved, concave.
  • aerating opening in at least one of the surface and the additional surface.
  • the ambient air can move freely through this aerating opening.
  • This aerating opening and the above described discharge opening in the holder provide the option of realizing the same ambient air conditions at the upper part and lower part of the substrate.
  • the aerating opening forms during use the highest point between the holder and the additional holder. This measure makes it possible that for instance no part of the surface or the additional surface lies above the aerating opening during use.
  • the invention also relates to a method for holding plant material, comprising the steps of providing a holder and an additional holder connected non-releasably thereto and providing plant material in the holder and the additional holder.
  • the method is distinguished from the known techniques by guiding to the holder and the additional holder liquid (or other agents) which comes to lie between the holder and the additional holder. This can for instance be realized by arranging a flexible fabric between the holder and the additional holder and pushing the fabric upward as soon as it is filled with liquid, as is known in the case of a sunscreen filled with water by the rain. The liquid which has come to lie on the fabric between the holder and the additional holder thus still finishes up in the holder and the additional holder.
  • - fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a container with one holder
  • - fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a container with a plurality of holders
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective detail view of the container of figure 2.
  • Figure 1 shows a container 1.
  • Container 1 has a holder 2 with a surface 3 therearound.
  • Holder 2 has a discharge opening 4 on the underside thereof and an opening on the top side thereof.
  • Holder 2 is filled with substrate 5.
  • a plant material, shown as plant 6, is growing in substrate 5.
  • Plant ⁇ has leaves 7, a stem 8 and a root system 9. Shown on root system 9 is seed 10 from which plant 6 has developed.
  • Surface 3 is oriented at an incline toward holder 2 so that liquid on surface 3 flows in the direction of holder 2.
  • Figure 1 shows a space above the discharge opening and the substrate.
  • This space is created when a part of the substrate falls out of the holder through discharge opening 4 and the rest of the substrate forms a bridge above discharge opening 4.
  • the advantage of this space is that a large surface area which is in contact with the ambient air is realized on the underside of the substrate. Whether or not such a space is created, and how large this space is, depends on the structure of substrate 5.
  • Figure 2 shows a container in the form of a culture tray 11.
  • Culture tray 11 has a plurality of holders 2.
  • Surfaces 14 and 15 are shown between adjacent holders 12 and 13.
  • Surface 14 is oriented at an incline toward holder 12 and surface 15 is oriented at an incline toward holder 13.
  • Liquid on surface 14 hereby flows in the direction of holder 12 and liquid on surface 15 in the direction of holder 13. Liquid which comes to lie between holders 12 and 13 thus flows to one of the two holders.
  • Figure 3 shows a detail of culture tray 11 with holders 2 of figure 2.
  • Holders 2 have discharge openings 4 on the underside thereof.
  • Via discharge openings 4 and aerating opening 16 it is possible to realize the same ambient air conditions in the upper part and lower part of the content of holders 2.
  • Figure 1 shows a plant which has grown from a seed which has been planted in the substrate .
  • a plant can also develop from a cutting or a seedling planted in the substrate.
  • the inclining surface is shown as being straight.
  • the surface can however also be curved, concave or convex.
  • Figure 1 shows a discharge opening on the underside of the holder. This discharge opening can also be omitted or arranged at another position.
  • the inclining surface is not formed integrally with the wall of the holder.
  • the surface can also be formed integrally with the wall of the holder.
  • Figure 2 shows the container with 112 holders. It can also contain more or fewer holders.
  • each holder has a plurality of folds.
  • the surface can however also be smooth.
  • both the discharge openings and the aerating opening have a round form. These openings can also have a different form, for instance oval, square, rectangular etc.
  • Figure 3 shows one aerating opening between four holders.
  • a plurality of aerating openings can also be provided between four holders.
  • Figure 3 shows the aerating opening exactly in the centre between four holders.
  • An aerating opening can also be arranged at another position, for instance exactly between two holders.
  • the holders have an octagonal cross- sectional form.
  • the cross-section of a holder can also take another form, for instance round, oval, square, hexagonal etc.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show each aerating opening in a transition between a surface and an additional surface. This is deemed as being the equivalent of a aerating opening which is arranged in at least one of the surface and the additional surface.
