Definitions

  • the invention relates to a decoration device with a sheet-like holder for containers according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic device which is used in particular for flowers, plants, onions, tubers or the like.
  • This known device has a plate which forms a holder and which contains at least one opening transversely to its plane of extension.
  • Containers such as e.g. Vases made, which have a cylindrical base on their bottom, which penetrates the opening of the holder and protrudes downward above this. This base penetrating the holder prevents the container standing on the plate-shaped holder from being able to be displaced thereon.
  • Containers of different sizes have all bases of identical diameter, the diameter of the base corresponding to the diameter of the opening.
  • the relevant containers can only be used together with the known holder, since the diameter of the base is generally much smaller than the outer diameter of the container and this falls very easily when used without a suitable holder.
  • the holder containing the bore can only be used appropriately with containers that have a base adapted to the opening.
  • the bottom of the container must be flat according to the flat plate so that the container can rest on the plate.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic device that can be used more versatile and which is in particular more variable in the size and design of the containers which are to be held more securely.
  • the container has at least at an axial height, spaced from its ends, at least one part protruding beyond the outer wall of the container, with which the container penetrating the opening of the holder can be held hanging. Due to the design of the device according to the invention, the center of gravity of the container is shifted further down in the holder, as a result of which the container no longer stands on the holder, but instead comes to hang in it.
  • the container has, at an axial height, a plurality of projections projecting outward beyond its outer wall, spaced apart from one another and evenly distributed over the circumference.
  • these projections can now rest on the edge of the opening, this opening e.g. can have a cross section which corresponds in shape and size to the cross section of the container at the level of the projections.
  • the container is then inserted into the opening in such a way that the projections come to lie between the openings in the opening corresponding to the projections.
  • the opening of the holder can also be larger than the cross section of the container at the level of the projections, e.g. be square, the container then having four mutually spaced projections at an axial height distributed over the circumference, which come to rest on the edges of the opening.
  • the container can also be inserted from below into the opening of the holder, the container having to be rotated about its vertical axis so that the cantilevers when Insert either into the recesses of the circular opening or in the direction of the corners of the quadra table opening are aligned.
  • the container is rotated about its vertical axis until the projections come to rest over the edge of the openings, from which the container is then held. For this, for example, a container with four overhangs and a square opening needs to be rotated through 45 °.
  • the edge of the opening can have depressions which accommodate the projections, and the height of which the container must additionally be lowered when penetrating into the opening.
  • the plate-shaped holder While in the known device described above, the plate-shaped holder is placed on the soft ground and the part of the base projecting beyond the opening is pressed into the ground, the device at hand here should be used in particular in rooms. This means that there must be space below the holder for the sagging part of the container.
  • the holder forms a wall, preferably the lid of a sales packaging, in which the containers are arranged during transport.
  • the containers are then hung in the openings for demonstration in the sales shop and, if the customer takes this device home, can be briefly reinserted into the packaging, from which they can then be removed at the installation site and put back into the Mount bracket.
  • the holder forms the cover of a watertight trough and has two-dimensionally a large number of container-receiving openings both next to and behind one another.
  • the holder can also have feet that are longer than the greatest height of the sagging part of a container, but the holder can also be held self-hanging on its edge by cords.
  • a plurality of holders for holding containers which e.g. are connected to one another at their end faces via webs or via side walls.
  • Such a device consisting of several holders can also have a closed bottom on which the entire holder stands.
  • a plurality of brackets can also be connected to one another via the cords carrying the device.
  • the holder has a frame.
  • This frame can now carry a grid-like grate with webs between which the openings receiving the containers are formed.
  • These openings can be formed by intersecting webs, as a result of which they are in particular square, but they can also be formed by webs arranged parallel to one another, so that the openings in particular have a rectangular shape.
  • the webs may face two parallel end faces of the grate at an angle of less than 90 0, for example, be at an angle of 45 °, resulting in a set loosely tere arrangement results, and thereby triangular openings also be obtained in addition to, for example, square cross-section having openings.
  • the holder has elements with symmetrically stepped depressions which rest with their edge strips either on the frame of the holder or on the webs of the grate.
  • the recess of such an element has weak points at its steps, at which individual steps, forming an opening into which the containers are hung, can be separated.
  • plates with openings can also rest on the frame or the grate of the holder.
  • a flexible bag filled with water can also be provided as the container, which hangs in the opening of the holder with a part that bulges outwards. This bulge is obtained in that the upper part of the bag surrounds an onion or tuber, which comes to rest on the edge of the opening and clamps the bag there.
  • the holder will come to lie horizontally, it can also be arranged at an angle to the horizontal so that containers hanging further back are arranged higher in the viewing direction.
  • a decoration device essentially consists of a flat holder 1, in which openings 2 are provided, in which containers 3 hang.
  • these openings 2 are circular (FIG. 1), square (FIG. 2) or rectangular (FIG. 5).
  • the containers 3 which are suspended or can be suspended in these openings 2 are, according to the illustrated embodiments, rotationally symmetrical, in particular circular cylindrical.
  • both the openings 2 and the containers 3 can have other cross-sectional shapes which can be coordinated with one another in the sense of the invention.
  • it has a circular-cylindrical cross section
  • Container 3 can also be hooked into an opening having an n-square cross section, conversely the opening 2 can be circular and the container 3 can deviate from the circular cylindrical shape.
  • the containers 3 have at least one axial height outwardly beyond the container wall four protruding projections 5, according to the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2, four mutually spaced projections 5, which are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the container 3 and each have one there Cover 45 ° bend.
  • the opening 2 according to FIG. 1 has a cross section which corresponds to the shape and size of the outer cross-sectional line of the container 3 at the level of the projections 5, i.e. the essentially circular opening 2 has recesses 6 which allow the projections 5 to pass through.
  • the container 3 can thus be inserted into the opening from above, the projections 5 coming to lie on the edge of the opening 2 between the recesses 6, as shown in FIG. 2, but the container 3 can also be positioned from below are pushed through the opening 2 so that the projections 5 are aligned with the recesses 6 of the opening 2.
  • the container 3 is rotated by 45 ° about its vertical axis until the projections 5 can again rest on the edge of the openings 2 between the recesses 6.
  • the container is introduced in the same manner as described above, with the container 3 being introduced into the holder 1 from below to ensure that the cantilevers during the Push through the opening 2 towards the corners of the same and then come to rest on the side edges 7 of the opening 2.
  • protrusions 8 projecting inwards into the container 3 are also provided, on which an element 8 ′ carrying a plant can be supported (see middle container 3 of the upper bracket 1 in Figure 4).
  • the holder 1 can now be designed differently regardless of its opening 2.
  • the holder consists of a circumferential, from strips, e.g. Wooden frames existing frame 9, the openings remaining between the strips, which can form the container 3 receiving openings 2, but on which - as shown in Figure 5 - webs 10 are provided, thereby smaller, in particular differently sized and differently shaped container 3 receiving openings 2, are adjustable.
  • the openings formed in this way are now partly. closed by additional, differently designed brackets 1.
  • FIGS. 3 and 5 show perforated plates 11, the holes of which form the openings 2 receiving the containers 3. Although these holes are circular in shape, they can also have a square cross section, as was explained previously with reference to FIG. 2.
  • a holder 1 having a symmetrically graduated depression 12 can be placed on the strips or the webs 10 forming the frame 9.
  • the stages 12 ' can be separated from one another, so that openings 1 of different sizes can be formed with this holder 1, depending on how many stages 12' are separated.
  • a holder 1 can have a plurality of depressions 12 which can be formed into openings 2, as is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the projections 5 of the container 3 lie on the horizontal surfaces of the steps, while the vertical surfaces of the steps hold the containers tangent to the wall.
  • the frame 9 consisting of strips, forming the holder 1 or carrying further holders 1 can now rest on the upper edges of an open, in particular watertight box 13, as shown in FIG. 3, this box as an aquarium, terrarium or the like is usable, and then consists of a transparent material or, especially when using the container for photosensitive roots having plants made of an opaque material.
  • the holder can also form the lid of a shipping box, in the lid of which the openings 2 corresponding to the circumferential line of the container 3, e.g. in the case of a circular-cylindrical container 3, a circular opening 2 is formed. Inserting the container 3 from below into the holder 1 for hanging the container is not possible here.
  • such an embodiment is useful for starting to set up a larger facility, e.g. that in Figure 3.
  • the side wall opposite the side wall forming the holder 1 can be made transparent, so that the packed container 3 can be seen, on the other hand the lower part of the container 3, which takes up the roots of a plant, is arranged in the set-up in a manner protected from light.
  • the device is shelf-shaped, ie two brackets 1 or rows of brackets 1 are arranged one above the other.
  • the upper holder 1 in the drawing here consists of a long, narrow plate, in which the openings 3 receiving the containers are arranged along the center line. As can be seen, these openings are of different sizes in order to accommodate containers 3 of different sizes. Furthermore, this holder can also be seen that container 3 of identical shape and size, if projections 5 are provided at two vertical heights, can hang at different heights in the holder 1.
  • a frame 9 is provided here, on which holders 1 with the symmetrically graduated recesses 12 described above are placed.
  • openings of different sizes are formed by cutting off a different number of steps. While the left-hand container 3 'has the largest diameter and rests on the first stage from above, the right-hand container 3 ", which has a somewhat smaller diameter, rests on the second remaining stage and the middle, narrowest container 3"' rests on the fourth stage , and the deepest overall.
  • the two brackets 1 or groups of brackets arranged one above the other are connected here by boards 14 arranged on their end faces, which here are extended under the frame 9 and at the end of which hold a plate 16 forming the bottom of the device.
  • the device according to FIG. 4 can now either stand with its base 16 on a table or, as shown in FIG. 4, be held hanging from cords 18 via screw eyes 17. In the latter case, it is also possible to provide the bottom 16 with openings 2, so that containers 3 can also protrude downward from the entire device.
  • a plurality of brackets 1 arranged one above the other or groups of brackets 1 carried by frame 9 can, according to an embodiment, not shown, similar to that shown in FIG or the frame 9 knotted until it reaches the lowest bracket or the lowest frame.
  • a front and a rear wall can also be present, so that the space below the frame 9 is completely darkened.
  • a front wall can be opened or slid. This allows the roots of the plants to be protected from light rays, on the other hand, the water level in the containers can be checked in a simple manner, which is very difficult when the containers themselves are made of an opaque material.
