Definitions

  • Free-standing structures which can support young trees, fragile plants and shrubs and the like are wellknown. Normally, however, such structures are essentially functional and little attempt is made to make them of themselves decorative or a thing of beauty.
  • the channels comprise elongate channel section members mounted on the opposed faces of the legs as, for example, by screws, or rivets or welding or the like.
  • the legs may extend well below the position of the lowest strut or set of struts and constitute feet by which the structure can be secured into soil or a foundation of concrete or the like.
  • two or more such structures are adapted to be secured together, one above the other and/or side by side to form larger structures and as a screen for a patio or the like.
  • the locating members may be plugs having spigot-like formations for insertion into the ends of the legs, and these plugs are conveniently of a synthetic plastics material,
  • the cross-sectional shape of the tubes or rods matches the cross-sectional shape of the bores in the plugs so that the tubes or rods fit snugly within the bores in the plugs.
  • Spacer tubes may be provided to space one unit above another, the spacer tubes conveniently matching the legs so that the spacer tubes constitute, in effect, a portion of the lengths of the legs, with the tubes or rods passing not only through the plugs and the legs, but also the spacer tubes.
  • Further plugs may be provided to interconnect legs of the decorative structure in abutting side-by-side relationship, the further plugs having spaced lug-like formations for respective insertion into ends of the legs in order to attach the latter together.
  • These further plugs may have through-bores for the insertion of the previously mentioned tubes or rods to enable stacking of the units in a vertical direction.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a plant/tree support comprising four upright legs 10 having channels 12 mounted on opposite faces of the legs between which rectangular glazed ceramic tiles 14 are fitted. One of the tiles is shown removed at 16 to show the channel at 18 more clearly.
  • the tiles can be lifted out if required for replacement.
  • the lower ends of the legs extend downwardly to form feet 22 by which the structure can be embedded in soil or concrete or the like surround/foundation.
  • Figure 3 shows how a structure such as that shown in Figure 2 can be extended to form a larger structure.
  • the structures form a corner unit, the sides of which can be extended indefinitely if required to form walls, with or without further corner unit assemblies to provide for returns or to give extra support and rigidity.
  • the extension of the sides may be by way of additional units such as shown in Figure 2, joining being effected by bolting through adjoining upright struts.
  • extension kits may be provided comprising a pair of uprights joined by two transverse struts, two pairs of linking struts adapted to be secured between the uprights of the first structure and the extension pair and four pairs of channels adapted to be mounted on the opposed faces of the uprights joined by the linking struts.
  • the uprights are limited to a single member each.
  • the channels are preferably made wider to accommodate two tiles arranged back to back, so that the glazed surfaces are visible and the unglazed surfaces hidden.
  • the plugs 35 and 36 have spigot-like projections which fit into the ends of the spacer tube 37 and leg 34, respectively.
  • Each plug 35 and 36 also has a cylindrical through-bore within which the steel rod is a sliding fit so that the steel rod can extend through both of the plugs 35 and 36, the spacer tube 37 and into the ends of the legs 33 and 34 in order to locate the latter one above the other.
  • the spacer tube 37 forms, in effect, a portion of the vertical leg of the decorative structure.
  • Other legs of the structure can be located one above another in a similar way, either with or without spacer tubes 37, giving a very versatile arrangement which can be adapted to suit the shape and size of decorative structure required.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate additional decorative structures.
  • the structure is in the form of a window-box which can be made of any length and which can be used to interconnect units formed as columns or panels.
  • the window box has legs 51, lateral members 52, channel members 53 welded to the legs 51, and reinforcing strips 54 which are optional. Ceramic tiles 55 are detachably located between opposing channel members 53.
  • Figure 6 shows a structure formed as a screen or panel which can be made of any width or height and which can be particularly useful to interconnect the columns shown in Figure 2.
  • the screen has legs 61, lateral members 62, channel members 63 welded to the legs and a reinforcing strip64 which is optional. Ceramic tiles 65 are detachably located between opposed channel members 63.
  • the ceramic tiles are removable and can, therefore, be replaced to suit a change in decor.
  • the various structures can be connected one above another, or side by side, to provide a large variety of possible constructions of shape and size, offering a wide degree of versatility, without the need for bolts or screws.
  • structures according to the invention are very versatile and may be made in heights, widths and depths to suit particular situations.
  • Various modifications in the described structures are also possible.
  • the bars 54 in Figure 5 are not essnetial because the remaining structure can be made sufficiently rigid.
  • the structure of Figure 3 no internal tiles are necessary, and castors can be added to the lower ends of the legs of any of the suitable structures to form a drinks trolley.
  • the structure of Figure 1 could be made three, four, five or any number of tiles wide to make a unit suitable for standing on a window sill or table.
  • the tiles could be made of wood, aluminium alloy, metal, plastics or glass and the clips could be of any suitable material such as plastics or metal.
