Spherical composter

A spherical composter, comprising a composter which is spherical in shape and of relatively large size enabling rolling said composter by a user who is in a standing position, said composter accommodating a great mass of compost,

• the composter having a central axis and including two main parts, namely a bottom part and a top pard, both hemispherical in shape, and each including a wall element,
• the bottom part being of one-piece construction and constituting a complete hemisphere,
• the top part including a surrounding piece with a hole therein and a cover snap-fitted in the hole, the surrounding piece and cover constituting a complete hemisphere,
• the bottom part and the top part being made up entirely of molded material,
• the main parts having open sides of circular shape lying in a plane perpendicular to said central axis, and each part terminating in a continuous equatorial rim surrounding its open side and including an annular flange extending radially outwardly from the wall element of the part and a cylindrical flange at the radially outer edge of the annular flange and extending axially away from the wall element, the cylindrical flanges being of slightly different diameter to enable telescoping thereof,
• the main parts being capable of being fitted together with their open sides interfacing and the cylindrical flanges telescoped, and the smaller cylindrical flange engaging the annular flange on the other part, and
• connector means detachably extending radially through the telescoped cylindrical flanges at positions distributed circumferentially around the composter, and operable for securing the parts together,
• said connector means constituting the only means for securing the parts together,
• the interengaging flanges of the equatorial rims and the connector means together also forming an oquatorial strengthening rib, extending radially outwardly beyond the wall elements.
