Abstract

House plants often become bare in the lower region. Planting up the containers of such plants subsequently is problematic owing to different soil requirements. The problem addressed by the invention is that of creating a secondary plant container (1) for subsequent arrangement at the opening of an already planted-up container. It has a bowl-shaped cross-section for planting and is designed in the shape of a horseshoe or semi-circular ring or circular sector ring, and, even if there is a plurality of these, is dimensioned such that it fits the upper side of the planted-up container. The secondary plant container (1) or the plurality of semi-circular rings and circular sector rings thereof has a round or polygonal contour and has a handle (8), a climbing aid (10) and a retainer (9); one element preferably performs multiple functions. The secondary plant container (1) is placed with clearance (4) from or access (5) to the sprouting axis of the plant in the planted-up container, and the curvature (6a) of the plant container receives tubers protruding out of the soil. A smaller secondary plant container (1) is contained in the opening of a larger plant container; a larger secondary plant container (1) receives the edge of the smaller planted-up container in its lower contour, such as studs or a groove. Secondary plant containers (1) in the form of a semi-circular ring or circular sector ring having contoured walls of similar radii are fixed to one another by means of a connecting element (11).

Description

Planter

The invention relates to a planter for arrangement on the upper opening of a planter already planted with a tall, stem-forming, slender perennial or another plant that has baked in the lower area.

Such a planter is not known.

A planter is known as an insert in another planter, for example for hydroponics.

Indoor plants often shed the lower area and thus lose their aesthetic appearance. There is also a planter, for example a flower pot, which contains a plant with a slender stem axis, over which leaves and flowers unfold, revealing a monotonous surface of the earth. If further plants are planted there, they compete with the first plant or often do not tolerate the same conditions.

As a rule, the sides of a planter, for example a flower pot with a sprout-forming plant, also offer a constant view and are not shaped by a plant in a hanging direction that covers the sides of the pot.

The sides of a flower pot can be given different views by means of cachepots, the design value of which, however, remains the same compared to the changing play of colors, growth, scent and room climate influence of plants in their place.

Arranging further plants in conventional separate containers around a slender stem axis requires small container dimensions to fit between the plant and the edge of the pot, whereby several conventional separate containers are required which, however, do not fill the given area.

A doorstop bottom vessel has a channel-like straight receptacle, a free space which is larger than the access is missing, as well as a bend and a narrow point within the access so that there is no blocking effect between the free space and the access. In contrast to the needle-like access, as well as access with a bend and / or narrow point, the gap in the wide channel-like access designed as a door receptacle is clearly noticeable, very clearly in the intended application on a primary planter, which is usually already placed as an eye-catcher at an exposed point and above its top raised, the secondary planter is closer to eye level in the visual axis.

Therefore, door stoppers for planters with a gap in the width of the door as well as space-encompassing stability elements cannot shape the bald space around a stem axis, as according to the invention which have no stability elements whatsoever

Access forms, with the exception of the needle-like access, and free space form one correspond to narrow sprouts. On the planter according to the invention, even a slightly narrower access compared to the stem axis can lead the stem axis into the free space by elastic bending of the thin body, which is only designed as a soil container enclosure. This function and the application advantage in normal plant development with an increasingly wider stem axis is not given on the solidly designed, rigid door stopper body, nor on other inflexible planters, in particular with

mechanical fixations. Bottom vessels are solid and are usually moved with the foot against the vessel standing on the ground, as a shift. This, together with the heavy volume of contents, requires the more massive, more stable outer edge which is designed with greater width and thickness than on other planters. If the bottom container is moved as a door stopper by the user together with a door, even more force acts. The greatest impact occurs on a door that is moved by a draft, and floor containers as door stoppers must withstand this additional load. Bottom vessels, especially those with a door mount, are the most clearly designed

Stability elements on in contrast to planters which are only narrow

Enclosures as earth containers are. Aesthetically filigree shapes, lightweight construction and small volumes such as those found in the secondary planter are not intended or present on the doorstop. Therefore, door stoppers floor containers have no handles, because individual handles and individual handles for handling with one hand are generally prohibited due to their high weight. Pairs of handles and handles could make heavy weights manageable, but require users to bend down to pick up a heavy load that is more easily displaced by moving the vessels with their feet. That is why there are no handles and handles in pairs on door stoppers.

Because of the high forces when sliding doorstops, it is also used on filigree as well

openwork structures designed as a climbing aid as an integral part

No door stoppers. The stability elements, usually designed as wide edges, require space on the outer diameter of the vessel, but this space on the outside is the largest most valuable space for the content of the soil volume, which is therefore inevitably missing for use as a secondary planter. The space also occupies the stability elements, such as wide vessel edges, also optically occupy the most valuable space on the outer diameter because the outer edge is perceived first. If this space is occupied by the vessel structure instead of plants, this leads exactly to the monotonous, inanimate view that is to be designed more advantageously as an inventive task by means of a secondary planter.

This means that it is not possible to largely fill in or create a visually appealing space in and around a planter that has already been planted. In the case of the secondary planter, which is placed in a clearly visible position, in an exposed position on the planter that has already been planted, and primarily For optical purposes, reinforcements and space-encompassing vascular courses are at the expense of the view and the volume of the earth. However, monotonous side surfaces of vessels should, according to the object of the invention, by rich growth of the secondary supplementary plant vessel, which usually already has less soil volume than the primary

Having planter should be avoided.

The inevitably heavy weight means that floor pots do not have a fixation for themselves, in particular on a primary planter or its edge. Doorstops do not have a fixation to be able to be mobile

To adjust the opening width of the doors or to be set aside.

Conventional individual planters have flat, smooth floor undersides in order not to damage surfaces such as window sills and room floors. Nubs or grooves accommodating high edges of the container which create a lack of space and ventilation between the bottom of the secondary planter and the surface of the primary planter are missing. Thus, the secondary planter is not fixed in that it almost completely absorbs the circumference of a vessel rim on its underside, and the surface of the earth running below the secondary planter is not ventilated. This can lead to mold which is not only harmful to the health of the plant but also to humans. You have to remove the white fluff as quickly as possible. It is not so dangerous, but it is annoying when sciarid gnats have nested in the planter soil.

Conventional planters, individually or as a system, have no fixing elements on their underside, and at the same time ventilation elements, such as grooves or knobs, and also no ground spikes, in order to be able to fix themselves above a ground if necessary. Conventional planters, individually or as a system, do not have a curved base on their underside which at least partially accommodates a root rising below the planter. Conventional planters designed as a system have bottom bottoms that are used to arrange system elements and are designed to fit precisely for this purpose. Objectively, they can be arranged on planters, but they can only be arranged concentrically on an empty planter as a stack without adding to an existing planting or on a planted planter close between the planting and the edge of the planter, because arrangement around a planting is not possible as there is no access or free space To include planting. This also means there is no bottleneck to get through

Locking effect to fix the secondary planter, as if around a stem axis.

WO 2016 / 018689A1 describes in D1 a secondary planter having a

The vessel body (1a) has a shell-shaped cross section with a downwardly directed opening and the shell-shaped cross section has an inner contour wall and an outer contour wall, the walls each being round and the vessel body (1a) has two opposing side walls, the vessel body (1a) having a central free space which is formed by the inner contour wall and the central free space forming a free area in which a planting of a primary planter can at least partially be arranged.

Both the planter and the inner planter cannot be arranged on the surface of a first planted planter in which the edge of the first planter is accommodated, but there is no lower contour in the bottom of the planter.

The figure 16 bracket consists of 2 separate parts Bz. 82 and Bz. 98 and is designed to attach only parts 82 and 98 to a primary planter - itself, without a planter. The planter Bz 24 is separate and cannot be attached to a primary

Planter to be attached. It must be placed in Bz 98, Bz 98 must be placed in Bz 82. After these assemblies have also been carried out on the opposite part of the vessel, the D1 planter can only be connected to the vertically oriented structure, in the example lamp post, in a seventh process. Solid vertical structures corresponding to this fixation are not available or useful on primary planters such as flower pots.

A disadvantage arises for only a simple function, fixation, effort for three parts per vessel half, with the opposite side for six parts. This number of parts does not offer multiple functions.

9 bulges Bz 64 show a free space accessible from above in which a primary planter can be placed, but this does not correspond to the

Space-saving arrangement according to the invention on the top of an already planted vessel. Its surface is not covered by other plants.

Arrangement of D1 on standard planters, such as flower pots, or compatibility with these is not aimed for, intended or possible.

The holder according to the invention is an integral part of the in every embodiment

Planter. This ensures that the holder can also be used to attach the secondary planter to the primary, even in the case of embodiments of the invention with multiple functions, such as the holder, which is also designed as a handle, which, advantageously designed as a perforated structure, also serves as a climbing aid. Another multiple function according to the invention is a lower section of a climbing aid acting as a holder, which initially extends vertically above the level of the soil container and from one

The bending apex is directed downwards and tapered to the edge of the secondary planter. Thus, as the lower section of the climbing aid, the holder fixes the upper edge of a primary planter between its inside and the vessel edge of the secondary planter, similar to a clamp. D1 does not have this multiple function of fixations at the same time designed as a climbing aid. In D1 there is no access through which the plant is led into the open space. Since the free space Bz 64 in Figures 1 and 9 is only accessible from above, D1 can only be placed loosely on the surface of a planted primary vessel and its stem axis can only be accommodated in a free space in the vessel halves with the respective free space halves arranged around the stem axis and then the vessel halves are fixed to one another. In this way, as well as being inserted from above, it is also possible to arrange a planted primary vessel in the free space, whereby the free space of D1, in contrast to the invention, ends at the outer diameter of the primary vessel used, thus not covering its monotonous earth surface and the space around a bare one Sprout axis designed.

The fixation on the side surfaces of planted primary standard vessels requires extensive special measures to fine-tune the press fit or massive primary ones

Planters. This eliminates all primary planters for use which are thin-walled, such as made of elastic plastic, and which give way even with little hand force. It is precisely these primary standard plant containers that are most widespread. However, the upper edge of these primary standard planters is more stable under pressure than their sides and also carries secondary planters according to the invention, the lower contours of which stabilize the elastic structures received.

D1 is fixed mechanically by means of a press fit on a vertical stable surface in which the vessel halves are pressed against a mechanical structure as a counter bearing by means of screws. The stable vertical mechanical structure is imperative. The vertical structure is not an integral part of the primary or secondary planter and, in contrast to the invention, is additionally required. There are no multiple functions of the vertical structure, such as a holder or handle designed as a special climbing aid. Those skilled in the art can use upward vertical structural structures, such as masts, as

Use climbing support, but this must be available. The prerequisite and type of fixation require tools and effort and define D1 more as a static object with a static view, whereas vessel parts according to the invention are basically fixed without tools, for example in the one overlapping of two side walls

receives a mirror image of the opposite side wall. The Invention Figure 10 shows this principle on a circular element, Figure 7 shows the vessel half segment like a

The holder (7) is also designed as a handle (8) and is arranged below it

Take up the edge of the vessel.

The planter according to the invention is not fixed, its fixation is flexible.

The stem axis of a plant is not suitable as a counter bearing for mechanical fixation on a vertical structure. However, D1 only describes this type of fixation, consists of more than 60 parts and has no access to which opens into a free space that is larger than the entrance. There are also no bends or bottlenecks within the access so that there is no blocking effect between the free space and the access.

So D1 would only remain on the surface of a planted primary vessel, the vessel halves are only fixed to one another, and there is no connection to a planted primary vessel, such as a flower pot. Even this simple support would only be possible where no root protrudes because D1 does not have a curved base on its underside which at least partially accommodates a root protruding below the planter.

Because there is no distance and draft, such as between knobs or access in grooves, between the bottom of the D1 planter and the surface of the primary planter, if the surface below D1 is not ventilated, mold can develop, which not only affects the health of the plant but also people is harmful. You have to remove the white fluff as quickly as possible. It is not so dangerous, but it is annoying when sciarid gnats have nested in the planter soil.

Bz. 36 of FIG. 8 in D1 shows a curved design of the upper section of a vessel rim, vertically to similar lengths and, directed horizontally towards the bending apex, similar to a brim. This is narrow, arranged horizontally and is not suitable as a functional handle for enclosing. It appears as a design element in the form of a curved circumferential edge that can be reached under with the fingertips, but only from above.

Handling and power transmission using fingertips are difficult with larger weights.

In contrast to the comprehensive handle, two hands are always required for this.

Lifting with one hand or securely grasping, similar to a handle, is not possible on D1, but also not provided according to the relationships of the body as a large earth container with a high weight, for deep-rooted plants with a correspondingly high above-ground plant mass, a water supply and its weight.

Handles according to the invention in Figure 4 and Figure 7, as well as handles in

Multiple functions, such as the holder and handle at the same time, can always be grasped. This ensures that power is transferred to the secondary planter with a secure grip.

A partition in D1, Bz. 26, described in Paragraph 0030, does not belong to the planter or its underground container Bz. 28. This partition is between the water tank Bz. 24 and earth container Bz 28 arranged. The partition wall runs parallel to the outer wall of the earth container, the element Bz. 28 Moisture through capillary action from

Water container transported into the earth container. The partition does not run across the Outer wall of the earth container, the volume of the earth container is not divided, in particular not divided transversely into similar sized sections. A vertically directed extension of the partition which acts as a climbing aid above the volume of soil in multiple functions and is advantageously designed as a perforated structure above the volume of soil is not described.

D1 and D2 US 2009 / 0000189A1 plant pots do not have a climbing aid, in particular not as an integral component, but must inevitably be connected to another, separate, vertically oriented body according to their fixation. This is partly done via the detour of installing separate holders between the planter and the vertical structure. Even if the vertical fixation structure is considered as a climbing aid, it must be present beforehand and is then only provisionally useful as a climbing aid. Planters D1 and D2 cannot use a climbing aid without an external, vertically oriented fixation. The fixation structure is solid, primarily to mechanically support the weight of soil and plants of several planters and does not fulfill the climbing aid function as grippy, flat and extensive as grids, nets and openwork structures do. Trellis according to the invention are flat and always perforated, as different designs and names of ^" handle" with ^" handle at the same time as a climbing aid ^" , ^" holder ^" with ^" holder also as a climbing aid ^" show in comparison. D1 also has no ground spike for fixing in the ground.

US 2009 / 0000189A1 shows in D2 system planters with a free space which accommodates a vertically directed rod on which the setting frames of these planters are fixed one above the other in a balcony-like manner. This vertical structure is not an integral part of the planter and, in contrast to the invention, is additionally required. Even if the vertical fixation structure is considered as a climbing aid, it must be present beforehand and is then only provisionally useful as a climbing aid. The fixation structure is solid, primarily to mechanically support the weight of soil and plants of several planters and does not fulfill the climbing aid function as grippy, flat and extensive as grids, nets and openwork structures do. The rod itself needs a stable fixation. There is no multiple function of the vertical structure, such as a holder or handle, which is also designed as a climbing aid. Free easy, fast

Supplementing standard vessels that have already been planted, such as different flower pots, as well as detachable fixation to them, is not intended, taken into account or possible. Objectively, the free space is designed like a floor vessel doorstop and has a channel-like, straight receptacle, a free space which is larger than the access is missing, and there are no bends or constrictions within the access. In contrast to the entrance with a bend and / or narrow point, the planting gap in such a broadly designed canal-like structure falls Access clearly. D2 is a planter which cannot be arranged as a secondary on the surface of a first planted planter in which the edge of the first planter is accommodated. There is no lower contour in the bottom of the vessel for this. Likewise, there is no side element such as a holder or a handle acting as a holder to accommodate the edge of a planted container.

It also does not have a ground spike to fix itself over a ground.

When used as a secondary planter, D2 can only be placed loosely on the surface of a standard planted planter and take up its stem axis in a free space.

The fixation of D2 to a planted standard planter requires extensive special measures to fine-tune the press fit or massive planters. This eliminates all plant pots in the application which are made of thin-walled soft plastic and whose sides give way even with little hand force. These

Standard planters are the most common. However the top of this one

Standard planters are more stable under pressure than their sides and carry planters according to the invention. Ceramic vessels are also no longer required

as well as vessels made of glass and other brittle materials.

The setting frame of US2009 // 0000189A1 is mechanically fixed to a vertical stable surface using screws. The stable vertical mechanical structure is imperative. Tools and effort are also required, whereas vessels according to the invention are basically fixed without tools, for example by holding a vessel rim in their base or by reaching over a vessel rim with a clamp, easily, quickly and detachably. The stem axis of a plant is not suitable as a counter-bearing for mechanical fixation, but D2 only describes this.

So it simply remains placed on the surface of a planted vessel, a

There is no connection of D2, consisting of more than 150 parts, to a planted standard vessel, such as a flower pot.

Even this simple floor support is only possible where no root protrudes because D2 has no arched base on its underside that at least partially accommodates a root protruding below the planter.

Because there is no distance and airflow, such as between knobs or access in grooves, between the bottom of the D2 planter and the surface of the primary planter, if the surface below D2 is not ventilated, mold can develop.

DE 2048551 in D3 creates a component as a system which, in conjunction with the same elements, enables the construction of walls, lattice walls and the like Have a number of pots and pockets and are disposed around and protrude from a central opening, and assemblies are provided in alignment with elements below or above. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 14, it has a short groove on its underside between the center of the vessel and the edge of the vessel, which is curved towards the center of the vessel, like a curved circular tendon, similar to the side of a circular cut surface. In this, compared to the inventive arrangement, space-encompassing arrangement of offset overlapping vessels, only the section of the edge of a further planter arranged below is received and is possible, in the imaginary application of D3 as a secondary planter, the earth's surface of the primary

partially cover the planted container in such a way that next to D3 the plants from the primary planter can unfold. In order to largely cover the surface of the vegetation from the primary planter all around, several D3 containers are necessary as they only partially protrude above the surface of the earth. Because there is no free space and no access opening into it, D3 cannot lead the planting of a planter arranged below into its center and accommodate it. Therefore, the groove arrangement and groove course of D3 would only be suitable for stacking on an empty flower pot or empty D3 vessels, central arrangement on a planted vessel, such as a flower pot, is not intended or possible.

A groove according to the invention for receiving a vessel rim is arranged centrally, bent towards the vessel rim, follows the contour of the vessel base area of the secondary planter and runs over its entire base area in order to additionally arrange plants in an already existing space concentrically around bald plants.

Use of D3 is only possible where no root protrudes or next to a root with the spatial disadvantages described, because it does not have a curved base on its underside that at least partially accommodates a root protruding below the planter. In order to keep the components of the system vertically and horizontally compatible, moldings of handles, holders, climbing aids and ground spikes have to be designed as integral parts of the vessel, disadvantageously avoided.

DE 8420836U1 in D4 shows in Bz. 12 a protrusion protruding downwards the narrow retaining edge as a projection which the bottom of the D4 planter in the middle of the D4

Water storage vessel fixed on its bottom. This arrangement is similar to a stack of conventional vessels. However, the invention is fixed on the surface of an already planted vessel, receiving its planting. Moldings according to the invention as well as the various designs of the floor and the holder aim in multiple functions, in addition to fixing, to create a distance to a surface of the earth for floor ventilation and mold prevention. Therefore the molding is blunt Ending knobs as a large number in contrast to the individual edge structure of the D4

Planter that is executed is only to lie laterally on a molding protruding upward from the bottom and no distance to one below

Creates the surface of the earth. According to the invention, for example, oval, polygonal, round surfaces of all kinds can protrude downwards, but not a single structure such as an edge. The function of Bz. 12 suggests a narrow edge but also a wide edge sinks at the latest when watering together with the D4 planter in the usually loose planter soil, D4 is directly on top and mold develops. Even a very raised and widened edge does not provide floor ventilation since it has no gaps for air flow. However, since the D4 planter body corresponds to conventional planters from the outset, it is only possible to arrange it like this according to the disadvantageous state of the art. This requires small container dimensions to fit in the primary planter between the plant and the edge of the pot, whereby several conventional separate containers are required which, however, do not fill the given area. D4 Planter and water container are not suitable for designing the bare space of a planted planter as none can be placed in the bare area of a planted planter due to the lack of access and free space. Because there is no free space and no access opening into it, D4 cannot lead and accommodate the planting of a planter arranged below it in its center.

D4 in FIG. 1, reference numeral 12, has a projection on which is designed as a molding protruding from a lower contour, as well as a conical shape of the

Outer contour wall which, however, is not suitable as a fold for attachment to a primary planter in which the planting is included. With this holder, D4 can only be placed inside an empty or liquid-filled primary vessel. This projection is not suitable for fastening a secondary planter above the surface of the ground of a primary planter, since for this purpose it has to be directed essentially horizontally towards its apex. This course must in turn have a length whose lower section can accommodate the rim of a primary planter.

US20160029572A1 describes in D5 system solutions in different variants which are only compatible and applicable with one another. Free, simple, quick addition to standard vessels that have already been planted, such as different flower pots, as well as attachment to these, is not aimed for, taken into account or possible. A vessel-in-carrier system variant has conventionally designed, all-round closed planters in the body, which are placed in a larger carrier cavity designed as a magazine. The variant in which vessels are arranged around the carrier handle shows the carrier handle in the middle and does not accept a plant's stem axis in the carrier center or the center of the planter. characters 13A and 13B disclose a variant with a handle, whereby the planter shown is not a secondary planter which is arranged on a first, already planted planter because the arrangement of the planter shown is, in contrast to the invention, in an empty container which is designed as an enlarged support recess. It can either accommodate the planter shown or a planting, but then the planter shown cannot be arranged on it. Only because no primary planter can be arranged under the shown planter and D5 has no free space in which the stem axis of a primary planter extends, the apex of the handle can run over the center of the planter as shown. In contrast to the off-center position of the vertex of the handle according to the invention, this D5 grip course has a significant disadvantage that the height of vegetation, which is usually arranged in the middle, is restricted. That is why the D5 handle is made in two parts, with the individual

Sections are each designed to be pivotable in order not to be in the way of a planting when there is no transport. Both parts of the handle are releasably fixed to one another by a connection arranged on the tip of the handle. In manufacture and

This multipart swiveling and divisible D5 handle is more complex to use.

In all D5 variants, the carrier trough has no planter function, has no plant and cannot itself be arranged around a plant by leading it to the center of the container and receiving it. Likewise, the conventionally designed planters, which are sunk into the carrier trough designed as a magazine, cannot be arranged around a stem axis by leading them through an access to the center of the vessel, after which the stem axis is received within a free space of the vessel. The self-contained systems require precisely coordinated, compatible magazine and planters. Thus, the space-utilizing planting of the space around a bare stem axis on another, already planted, vessel is not possible either within this combination or through one of the components described.

There are no elements for the most extensive possible free additions as a secondary planter to a large number of smaller and larger already planted containers.

The insertion of a climbing aid between two walls of a planter does not go beyond a professional procedure in D1 to D5, since only separate conventional climbing aids can be used for this. Climbing aids according to the invention are always an integral part of the planter, run above the ground, but are arranged on walls and partition walls of the invention, stable even in multiple functions.

The inclusion of a root protruding from the ground is not intended or possible on D1 to D5 subcontours. Fixing of D1 to D5 with a ground spike is not intended or possible.

DE202007001467U1 discloses a planter that can be attached to parapets or a wall or placed on a flat surface without additional components, but is not suitable for designing the bare space of a planted planter.

DE202012008069U1 describes plant pots with drainage in the form of a drawer and intermediate floor with movable wheels or rollers, with the design of the bare space of a planted planter not taking place.

DE19719347A1 shows a planter with integrated self-watering which cannot be arranged in the bare space of a planted planter.

The object of the invention is to create a simple planter to be arranged on the top of an already planted planter, hereinafter ^" secondary ^"

Called planter ^".

The space around an existing plant should be designed to be filling, attractive and lively, with easy handling.

According to the invention, the object is achieved, as stated with the claims, in that the secondary planter (1) is open in its plan view, designed in the shape of a horseshoe or a circular ring or a semicircular ring or a circular sector, the semicircular or circular sector-shaped secondary planters in Their multitude are sized to fit the upper opening of the planter, and one

The vessel body (1a) has a bowl-shaped cross-section and an upwardly directed opening, which has an inner contour wall (2) and a preferably convex outer contour wall (3), which are each round or polygonal, and the vessel body (1a) has two opposite end walls Has. The vessel body (1a) has, preferably in the middle section, a free space (4) which is formed by the inner contour wall (2) and forms a free area in which a planting of the primary planter can at least partially be arranged.

Preferred embodiments result from the subclaims and the figures, it shows

The outer contour wall (3) is also designed as a holder (7) and climbing aid (10),

FIG. 10, the secondary planter is designed as a segment of a circle with a connecting element (11) as a projection for overlapping an outer contour (3) of the neighboring container.

A vessel body (1a) with an approximately closed circular or polygonal circumference has an incision-like access (5) running as a walled gap between the inner contour wall (2) and the outer contour wall (3). A short access (5) follows an imaginary radius line and is conical or strip-like. A preferred embodiment with a narrow needle-like stripe is inconspicuous, makes the plants appear advantageously homogeneous and consists of

elastic material, for example flexible metal, plastic or silicone.

A longer access (5), for example in the form of a curve, wave or half-tangent, causes the planting view from the lateral visual axis, which appears homogeneous, since the sides of the vessel are interlocking or arranged one behind the other, whereby the access (5) is largely covered.

The access (5) in approximately self-contained circular arrangements of

Circular sector rings are formed by omitting at least one circular sector or polygonal element.

The bottom (6) of the vessel body (1a) and the corresponding semicircular rings and

Circular sector rings are flat or, in order to accommodate tubers and roots protruding from the surface, are arched upwards, the height of the arch (6a) advantageously increasing towards the central free space.

The vessel body (1a) also has a holder (7), as required, which is able to attach it to the primary planter. The holder (7) is, for example, a longitudinal groove which is arranged on the underside of the vessel body and accommodates an edge of the primary planter or a projection protruding from the underside of the vessel body, for example

Knobs, which are supported against the edge of the primary planter or take it up in the interstices between the knobs, are formed. Another type of holder (7) is a ground spike that extends downward from the outer contour of the vessel body (1a) and fixes the vessel body (1a) in the filling of the plant vessel that has already been planted. Another form of the holder (7) is integrated into the outer contour wall of the vessel body (1a) and is formed by a conical shape of the outer contour wall, the edge of the primary planter being received along the outer contour wall (3) of the vessel body (1a). The vessel body (1a) has a handle (8) on the between two

Contour walls runs or in the bottom of the vessel body (1a) or on one

Contour wall of which the handle on the outer contour wall (3) is designed in multiple functions at the same time as a holder (7), for example in which the lower vertically oriented structure of the holder (7) ends in front of the outer contour wall (3) of the vessel body (1a) and A gap forms that is able to accommodate the upper wall of the planter that has already been planted.

A vessel body (1a), advantageously with a large volume, has one as an integral

Vessel component or a separate part executed, partition (9) on which in the vessel arranged between the inner contour wall (2) and the outer contour wall (3). A short partition (9) follows an imaginary radius line, a longer partition (9) is designed, for example, in the form of a curve or wave.

Elements of the secondary planter with a vertical structure directed upwards relative to the vessel body (1a) are advantageously designed as a climbing aid (10), for example the vessel walls (2, 3) and partition (9) above the wall of the soil have a climbing aid (10) ) serving structure, for example in that they are perforated, designed as a wall, grid, spiral, rhombus or mesh. The

A climbing structure can run around the edge of the vessel and can also be irregular and simulate characters, symbols or silhouettes, for example silhouettes of living beings, letters, logos, pagodas, trees, plants, buildings, city views, leaves or graphic shapes.

This structure, which is used as a climbing aid (10), also has multifunctional versions of the holder (7) and handle (8).

At least two secondary planters in the shape of a semicircular ring or one

Circular sector ring which have contour walls with similar radii are fixed to one another by a connecting element (11). The connecting element (11) is advantageously structurally connected to the secondary planter (1), for example as a structurally executed section on the planter which corresponds to a section of another secondary planter (1) in that it overlaps its wall (2, 3).

The connecting element (11) can also be designed as an extra part, for example a clip, catch, plug connection or clasp.

In use, the secondary planter (1) with an approximately closed circular or polygonal circumference and the arrangement of circular sector rings in this circumferential shape with access (5) against the stem axis of the plant is already in use

planted container out until it is in the free space (4).

A secondary planter (1) whose access (5) is narrower than the free space (4) is guided towards the stem axis, which is usually slimmer at the top than at the bottom, on the upper section of the stem axis. If necessary, the access (5) is widened by horizontal and / or vertical spreading. If the stem axis is in the free space (4), the secondary planter (1) is guided downwards. The branch axis, which is wider in the lower section, is blocked compared to the access (5) which is narrower than the free space (4). These

The locking effect also serves to fix the secondary planter. A secondary planter (1) whose access (5) is narrower than the free space (4) is also guided against tufts of shoot axes, the shoot axes, which are usually slimmer and more elastic at the top than at the bottom, are shaped in rows by hand at elastic sections Access (5) and free space (4) arrive. If the shoot axes are in the free space (4), the secondary planter (1) is guided downwards. In this case, tufts of shoot axes are blocked opposite access (5) which is narrower than free space (4).

This locking effect also serves as a fixation of the secondary planter.

Secondary planters (1) as semicircular rings or circular sector rings of smaller size are guided with free space (4) against the stem axis of the plant in the container that has already been planted.

A smaller secondary planter (1) is gripped and fixed in the upper opening of the larger planter that has already been planted.

The fixation of the secondary planter (1) is also achieved by its own weight, enclosing the vegetation of the primary planter, holder (7) on an outer contour wall of the planter that has already been planted, or a ground spike extending into its bottom.

A larger, secondary planter (1) accommodates the upper edge of the smaller planter that has already been planted in a contour on its underside, for example knobs or groove.

The watering process of the secondary planter (1) also reaches the surface of the planted container in the free space (4) and access (5).

Its other surface sections can be reached by turning the secondary planter (1).
