Definitions
- Container for growing plants including trees
- the present invention relates to a container for growing plants, in particular trees.
- the roots tend to form a bun by winding, mainly in the lower part of the container.
- vertical obstacles which deflect the roots downwards.
- Contenters are also known which only comprise an openwork side wall and of frustoconical shape, this cone being open downwards.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a container making it possible to avoid or limit the formation of buns by winding the roots of the plants.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a container in the lower part of which the root system of the plants can in particular develop.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a container capable of being manufactured and used industrially, without normally increasing the number of operations that users are used to performing with conventional containers.
- the container according to the invention is such that its side wall comprises an annular upper part and a preferably smaller annular lower part, which are coaxial, spaced connecting parts connecting and maintaining one with respect to the other said upper part and said lower part, and, between said connecting parts, deformable parts comprising main branches, which, in an initial position, have folds and which are capable of being extended or elongated by deformation of these folds so as to reach a deployed position wherein said deformable parts form bellies projecting outwards.
- said branches preferably have ends connected on the one hand to said upper part and on the other hand to said lower part.
- said deformable parts preferably comprise secondary branches connecting said main branches.
- said deformable parts preferably comprise secondary branches connecting the main branches and the adjacent spaced parts.
- said deformable parts preferably comprise plates hingedly connected to said annular lower part, said main branches having ends connected to these plates.
- said plates in the deployed position towards the outside, are preferably inclined towards the inside.
- the container can advantageously comprise a saucer whose peripheral edge is connected to said annular lower part.
- a weakening line is provided between said saucer and said lower annular part, constituting a breaking line for the separation of the saucer.
- weakening lines are preferably provided between said plates and said annular lower part, constituting the above-mentioned joint.
- said weakening lines are rectilinear.
- said weakening lines are arcuate.
- said connecting parts are preferably perforated.
- said deformable parts in the deployed position, preferably have a lower portion which is larger than their upper part.
- its side wall when its aforementioned deformable parts are folded, its side wall preferably has undercuts such that it can be produced by injection molding in a mold, one part having a well and the other part having a projecting shape.
- said connecting parts preferably have straight generators.
- FIG. 1 shows, in perspective, a container according to the present invention, in the folded position
- FIG. 2 shows a top view of the container of Figure 1, in the folded position
- - Figure 3 shows a side view of the container of Figure 1, in the folded position
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the container of Figure 1, in the deployed position
- FIG. 5 shows a top view of the container of Figure 1, in the deployed position
- FIG. 6 shows a side view of the container of Figure 1, in the deployed position.
- a container 1 is shown, the side wall 2 of the container 1 comprises an annular upper part 3, cylindrical and of low height, which has an external peripheral stiffening rim 4 and a lower part annular 5, constituted by a washer, which comprises five long straight sides 6 and five short connecting sides 7, so as to determine a hexagon.
- These parts 3 and 5 are coaxial and spaced from each other and the lower part 5 is smaller than the upper part 3 so as to substantially determine a truncated cone open upwards.
- the side wall 2 comprises five connecting parts or flanks 8 which connect and keep the part at a distance from each other upper 3 and lower part 5 and which determine between them lateral openings 9.
- the lower ends 10 of the connecting parts 8 are respectively connected to the short sides 7 of the annular lower part 5 and their upper ends 11 are connected to the lower edge of the annular part 3 along arcs 12.
- the connecting parts 8 have straight generatrices and their opposite sides 13 and 14 are rectilinear and form a V, the point of which is directed downwards.
- the length of the arcs 12 and the length of the arcs 15 of the upper part 3 which separate them and which are adjacent to the openings 9 are substantially equal.
- the connecting parts 8 are perforated so as to determine a multiplicity of lateral openings 16.
- the side wall 2 of the container 1 also comprises, between the connecting parts 8, five deformable parts 17 which are arranged in the region of the side openings 9.
- the deformable parts 17 comprise lower plates 18 which are connected to the edges of the long sides 6 of the annular lower part 5, between which are provided straight lines of weakness 19, so that the plates 18 are articulated along these weakening lines 19.
- the deformable parts 7 further comprise, respectively, four spaced and distributed branches 20, the lower ends 21 of which are connected to the plates 18 in an articulated manner by means of weakening lines 22 and the upper ends of which 23 are connected to the annular part upper 3 along its arches 15.
- the plates 18 extend upwards and the branches 20 have a rectilinear lower portion 20a and an upper portion which has two successive folds 24 and 25.
- the deformable parts 17 comprise a multiplicity of secondary branches 26a and 26b which connect the branches 20 to one another and a multiplicity of branches 27 which connect the branches 20 and the adjacent connecting parts 8, these secondary branches 27 being arched.
- the container 1 comprises a lower saucer 28 with hexagonal sides, the upper edges of which are connected to the lower part 5, between which is provided a weakening line 29 allowing, if necessary, to separate the saucer by breaking along this line.
- the container 1. which has just been described can advantageously be manufactured by injecting a plastic material into a mold, part of which has a well and the other part of a projecting shape, which, when coupled, determine between they spaces determining the structure of the container 1 which can be demolded by uncoupling these mold parts.
- the lower edges of the openings 16 of the connecting parts 8 are constituted by cut sides 16a having a draft.
- the deformable parts 17 are produced inside the frustoconical envelope surrounding the connecting parts 8.
- the folds 24 are concave upwards and the folds 25 of the branches 20 are concave downwards.
- they also have undercuts in a manner known per se.
- the container 1 which has just been described can be used in the following manner.
- the resulting load pushes the deformable parts 17 outwards by tilting the plates 18 around their articulation lines 19.
- the branches 20 pivot relative to the plates 18 along their articulation lines 21 and their folds 24 and 25 are elongated.
- the plates 18 are slightly inclined towards the inside of the saucer 28 and the branches 20 are substantially straight from top to bottom and the secondary branches 27 are substantially straight, so that the deformable parts 17 constitute bellies 8a projecting outwards relative to the frustoconical envelope of the connecting parts 8.
- the plates 18 are in the form of trapezoids which have short sides 19a parallel to the articulation lines 19 and two lateral sides 19b and 19c which form an acute angle with the articulation line 19.
- the deformable parts 17 have two median branches 20 which extend from the short side 18a of the plates 18 and two lateral branches 20 which extend substantially from the middle of their lateral sides 18b and 18c.
- the bellies 8a are determined by four branches 20 regularly distributed around their periphery.
- the dimensions of the plates 18, the main branches 20 and the secondary branches 26 and 27 are dimensioned so that the envelope of the deformable parts 17 in the deployed position constitutes substantially a truncated cone open downwards.
- the bellies 8a have a lower portion which is larger than their upper part and the volume of soil that the container 1 can receive in its lower portion is greater than the volume that it can receive in its upper portion.
- the container 1 which has just been described in the deployed position, filled with soil, makes it possible to improve the downward and outward growth of the root system of the plant which it contains, by avoiding or limiting the formation of a bun, and in particular thanks to the increased volume of soil in its lower part, and to the arrangement of the branches 20 and to the perforated connecting parts of its side wall 2.
- the side wall 2 provides peripheral aeration of the earth and stopping the growth of roots when they reach the open air, causing the formation of root buds at their ends.
- the saucer 28 constitutes a water reserve and the inwardly inclined arrangement of the plates 18 brings back at least partially towards the saucer 28 the water which flows down into the earth which the container contains.
- Container 1 can also be used without the saucer
- the articulation lines 19 and 22 and the branches 20, in particular their folds 24 and 25, are dimensioned so that the deformable parts 17 are easily deployed while properly maintaining the earth.
- the deployment of the deformable parts 17 can occur directly during, for example, automatic filling of the container
- the present invention is not limited to the example described above.
- the number of connecting parts 8 and deformable parts 17 and the number of branches 20 could be different.
- branches 20 could be zig-zag.
- weakening lines 19 could be arched so that the plates
