Abstract
The invention discloses flower pots forming a self-supporting modular structure comprising a plurality of flower pots (4, 7) each comprising first container elements (41; 71) united together through at least one channel (42; 72) and suited to contain ornamental plants, co-axially matchable through the fixed joint formed by their matching profiles (8, 9). Each of the mentioned flower pots (4, 7) can be co-axially matched with a second container element (5) through the fixed joint formed their matching profiles (8; 9). Moreover, each of said container elements (41, 71) fits co-axially inside an underpot tray (10).
Claims8
A flower pot adapted to be connected together with other flower pots to form a modular plant support comprising:
- a container element including axially spaced apart cylindrical members each having a central axis in a common plane, each member having a hollow interior volume, an open top and a closed bottom portion, the open top formed with an upper rim portion having a stepped profile of a selected depth and the closed bottom portion having a stepped profile of a selected height, the rim portion and bottom portion being coaxial with the central axis of the corresponding cylindrical member, the bottom portion being sleevable in mating relationship with the rim portion of a cylindrical member of another of said container elements;
- and
- a channel element having an open top and hollow interior interconnecting the cylindrical members along an axis perpendicular to the central axes of said cylindrical members, the channel being located in spaced relation from the bottom portion by a distance at least equal to the height of said bottom portion.
A kit for constructing a modular plant support structure including a plurality of container elements adapted to be connected together comprising:
- a container element including axially spaced apart hollow cylindrical members each having a central axis in a common plane, each member having an open top and a closed bottom portion, the open top formed with an upper rim portion having a stepped profile of a selected depth and the closed bottom portion having a stepped profile of a selected height, the rim portion and bottom portion being coaxial with the central axis of the corresponding cylindrical member, the bottom portion being sleevable in mating relationship with the rim portion of a cylindrical member of another of said container elements;
- and
- a channel element having an open top interconnecting the cylindrical members along an axis perpendicular to the central axes of said cylindrical members, the channel being located in spaced relation from the bottom portion by a distance at least equal to the height of said bottom portion.
