Abstract
In a tubular system for hydroponic culture,the improvement consisting in that the channel structure comprises a central core of a comparatively stiff plastics material and the sidewalls are made of a comparatively pliable plastics material, the upper edges of the sidewalls being capable of being at least partially juxtaposed. A further important improvement consists in that the surface of the bottom wall of the central core is lined with a fibrous material which offers a grasp for the seedling roots.
Claims28
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, the inner surface of said central core forming the bottom wall of said structure is lined by a layer of a fibrous material.
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, said central core being constituted by a strip forming the bottom wall of the structure, from which two substantially vertical sidewalls start, said strip being of a semi-rigid plastics material and having previously moulded longitudinal folding lines.
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, said central core and said side strips being provided as a single piece in the form of a tubular member of a plastics material open along a generating line, said tubular member having at least a crease on two opposite sides intended to form the flanks of the channel-like structure, the confronting edges of said longitudinal opening having matching bores which are spaced apart according to a preselected pattern along the length of said edges.
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, and terminal members mounted at the ends of the channel-like structure, each terminal member being formed by a stiff channel closed on three sides and so sized as to contain with a small preselected clearance said channel-like structure of plastics material, at least one of said terminal members having a discharge port.
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, said core being a portion of a single common supporting sheet, from which sidewalls rise, along the free edges whereof side strips which can be connected at short intervals, the sidewalls being common to two adjacent channel-like structures.
A channel-like structure for horticulture and flower-growing, of the kind in which the plants to be grown are arranged in the interior of a tubular member so that the roots are in continuous contact with liquid nutrient solution, characterized in that said structure comprises a central core of a plastic material adapted to form in use a channel-like member, two side strips of a non-rigid plastics material having their origin, each, from an edge of the central core, said side strips having such a width as to be able to be at least partially superposed to one another in correspondence with the central line of said channel-like member, said structure being provided in coil strip form.
