Window stand for plants

A window stand for potted plants comprising an elongated shelf member bounded by an outside longitudinal edge, an inside longitudinal edge, and two ends, the shelf member being formed into alternating ridges and valleys extending transversely between said inside and outside longitudinal edges, the tops of the ridges lying in a common plane, and the bottoms of the valleys being inclined with respect to said plane downward from the inside edge to the outside edge of the shelf member;

• and a continuous upright flange formed integrally with the shelf member, the flange enclosing the inside edge and the two ends of the shelf member and extending above the plane of the ridge tops, and the flange having a lower edge at each of said ends adapted to support the shelf member on an inside horizontal sill of a window with the plane of said ridge tops parallel to and spaced above the plane of the sill and with the outside edge of the shelf aligned with the outside edge of the sill adjacent to the inner face of a window sash, whereby potted plants placed on the shelf will stand upright on the ridge tops without tilting and will be protected by the flange from falling off the shelf, and the valleys will provide parallel drainage paths for excess water from such pots to the outdoors over the edge of the sill.
