Abstract

A combined plant pot and propagator comprises a plant pot 2, a transparent cover 3 and a slide on slide off base. -1- Releasably secured to the plant pot -2-so that when the base is released from the plant pot the plant pot 2 and the propagating cover -3-can be lifted upwards to remove the growing medium and plants without damage.

Description

A PLANT POT PROPAGATOR THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A PLANT POT PROPAGATOR PLANT POTS AND PROPAGATORS ARE WELL KNOWN PLANT CONTAINERS, A PROPAGATOR FOR GERMINATING SEEDS INTO SEEDLINGS. WHEN THE SEEDLING HAVE GROWN TO ABOUT 4CM. THEY ARE PRICKED OUT OF THE COMPOST AND TRANSPLANTED INTO LARGER SPACES, PRICKING OUT THE SEEDLING FROM THE COMPOST AND TRANSPLANTING THEM TAKES A LOT OF TIME WITH A LOSS OF MANY OF THE YOUNG PLANTS DUE TO ROOT AND PLANT DAMAGE. THERE IS OLSO TRANSPLANTING SHOCK, PLANT POTS AND PROPAGATORS TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE, SEEDS AND PLANTS ARE RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE SOME ARE RARE.
ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION THERE IS PROVIDED A COMBINED PLANT POT AND PROPAGATOR, COMPRISING OF A SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID MEANS FOR RELEASABLY SECURING IT TO THE PLANT POT, THE PLANT POT IS OLSO PROVIDED WITH A TRANSPARENT PROPAGATING TOP COVER THAT SLOTS ON AND OFF.
A SPECIFIC EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION WILL NOW BE DISCRIBED BY WAY OF EXAMPLE WITH REFERENCE TO THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS IN WHICH.
FIG 1. SHOWS IN PERSPECTIVE THE SIDE VIEW OF THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR, WITH THE SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID AND THE TRANSPARENT PROPAGATING TOP COVER IN POSITION ON THE PLANT POT.
FIG 2. ILLUSTRATES THE SEPARATION OF THE SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID AND THE TRANSPARENT PROPAGATING TOP COVER.
FIG 3. SHOWS THE HALF VIEW OF THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID.
FIG 4. SHOWS THE BACK VIEW OF THE PLANT POT PROPAGATOR.
FIG 5. SHOWS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE PLANT POT PROPAGATOR.
FIG 6. SHOWS THE BACK VIEW OF THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR STACKED.
FIG 7. SHOWS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE COMBINED PLANT POT AND PROPAGATOR PLACED ON A WALL.
FIG 8. SHOWS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE PLANT POT AND THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID PLACED ON A WALL.
FIG 9. SHOWS THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATORS SIDE VEIW WITH THE PLANT POT AND THE SLOT ON SLOT OFF PROPAGATING COVER BEING LIFTED OFF THE COMPOST AND PLANTS. THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID IS IN A SLID OFF POSITION.
REFERRING TO THE DRAWINGS THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR COMPRISES OF A PLANT POT -2- A BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1 RELEASABLY SECURED TO THE PLANT POT -2- FOR EXAMPLE THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1- IS INCORPORATED WITH TWO RETAINING TONGUES -6- A STRAP -4- AND A LOCKING STUD -5- THE PLANT POT -2- IS INCORPORATED WITH TWO SLITS -8- AND A LOCKING STUD HOLE -7- AS SHOWN IN THE SIDE VIEW FIG -1-.
IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID -1- FROM THE PLANT POT -2- THE MEANS SECURING THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1- TO THE PLANT POT -2- ARE RELEASED AND THE BOTTOM LID -1- IS THEN WITHDRAWN FROM UNDER THE PLANT POT -2- IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW -17- AS ILLUSTRATED IN FIG -2-.
IN ORDER TO REMOUNT THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1- TO THE PLANT POT -2- THE STEPS DISCRIBED ABOVE ARE CARRIED OUT IN A REVERSE SEQUENCE.
OLSO PROVIDED ON THE PLANT POT -2- IS A SLOT ON SLOT OFF TRANSPARENT PROPAGATING TOP COVER -3- AS SHOWN IN FIG -1- AND FIG -2 IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE PLANT POT -2- AND THE PROPAGATING TOP COVER 3 FROM THE COMPOST AND PLANTS -14- IS BY THE MEANS SECURING THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1- ARE RELEASED THEN THE BOTTOM LID -1- CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM UNDER THE PLANT POT -2- IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW -17- BY THE STRAP -4- THIS ALLOWS FOR THE PLANT POT -2- AND THE PROPAGATING TOP COVER -3- TO BE LIFTED OFF THE COMPOST AND PLANTS -14- IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW -16- AS ILLUSTRATED IN FIG 9.
THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR IS TAPER SHAPED -15- BEING WIDER AT THE BOTTOM THAN OF THE TOP THIS ALLOWS FOR THE PLANT POT -2 AND THE PROPAGATING TOP COVER -3- TO BE LIFTED UPWARDS OFF THE COMPOST AND PLANTS -14- IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW -16- AS DISCRIBED ABOVE.
FIG 10. SHOWS THE REAR VIEW OF THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR STACKED WITH THE PLANTS STILL GROWING FIG 11. SHOWS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE PLANT POT PROPAGATOR PLACED ON A WALL WITH THE PLANTS STILL GROWING FIG 12. SHOWS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE PLANT POT -2- AND THE SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID 1 PLACED ON A WALL WITH THE PLANTS STILL GROWING.
PROVIDED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF BOTTOM LID -1 IS A NUMBER OF WATER DRAINAGE HOLES -13- AND A NUMBER OF AIR VENTULATING HOLES -9- AS SHOWN IN FIG -2-.
PROVIDED INTO THE WALL OF THE PLANT POT -2- IS A KEY HOLE SHAPED HOLE -10- AS SHOWN IN FIG -2- FOR PLACING THE COMBINED PLANT POT PROPAGATOR ON A WALL RELEASABLY BY HANGING IT ON A WOODSCREW OR SIMILAR MEANS AS SHOWN IN FIG -7- OR -8 THE SLOT ON SLOT OFF TRANSPARENT PROPAGATING COVER -3- IS PROVIDID WITH A NUMBER OF CONDENSATION REGULATING HOLES -11- AS SHOWN IN FIG -2- OLSO PROVIDED IN THE WALL OF THE PLANT POT -2- IS A LOCKING STUD HOLE -7- AND TWO SECURING SLITS -8- FOR RELEASABLY SECURING THE BOTTOM SLIDE ON SLIDE OFF LID -1- TO THE PLANT POT -2- AS SHOWN IN FIG -2-OLSO PROVIDED INTO THE WALL OF THE PLANT POT -2- IS A NUMBER OF VENTILATION HOLS -12
