Claims4
A multisectional plant support and base adapted to be employed in a generally vertical orientation, said multisectional support comprising:
- a plurality of support members, each said member comprising a tubular hub and a support component surrounding and fixed to said hub, the hub component of each said member including a first, upwardly extending tubular member and a second, downwardly extending member having its upper end extending into and fixed to the lower end of the upwardly extending member, said downwardly extending member also having an external diameter which is substantially equal to the internal diameter of the upwardly extending member, each of said upwardly extending tubular members being identical to each other and each of said downwardly extending members being identical to each other, a lowermost one of said support members being said base for said multisectional support, whereby said support members can be telescopically mounted and supported one above the other onto said lowermost support member with the lower end of the upwardly extending tubular hub member of each but said lowermost support member engageable with the upper end of the corresponding tubular member of the support member therebeneath to thereby vertically space apart the support components of the support members by distances determined by the lengths of said upwardly extending tubular hub members.
