This invention relates to transplanting pots forseeds, plants, shrubbery, trees an the like. One of the great lproblems ofthe .nurseryman is the transplanting of plants 5 land the like from his nursery to the ultlmate position of the plantwithout injuring the tap root because the tap root shoots downward very deep and it has been found practically impossible to transplant a plant without inj uring this tap root. As 1s well known,
injury to t e tap root retards for a considerable period the growth of the plant after it is transplanted, and in many cases results in the death of the plant.
The object of my invention is to control the direction of growth of' the tap root and at the Same time leave it free to make a natural growth, and also to control the growth of the other roots of the plant so that they will so intermingle with the ball of dirt thatI lant is lifted these other roots will when the hold the all of dirt intact.
My invention consist-s of a transplantlng ot so constructed that the direction of P 25 rowth of the tap root 1s controlled and at e same time the other roots of the plant are controlled and intermingled with the earth to form an earth ball and hold it intact in the transplanting of the plant.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section of Amy improved transplanting pot with a plant illustrated as being positioned therein.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section of the pot at right angles to the sectional view in Figure 1, the plant being removed.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of my improved transplanting pot with the pot in collapsed position.
40 Figure `4 is a top plan view of a. plant row showing my improved pots in position and the tap roots, the top of the plantbeing omitted. v
While I have, for the purposes ofy illustrating my invention, shown in the drawings a. transplanting pot composed primarily of Vtwo hinged members, it will, of course, be
understood that there may be any number of members that may be desired.
As shown in the drawings, the pot comprises two members, 1 and 2, which are hinged together at the bottom as at 3. AThese members, or side walls, 1 and 2, have vertical edges, 4 and 5, which extend vertically throughout the length of the member from the top edge to thebottomedge thereof and, when the pot is assembled in upright posigtion, are spaced from each other a material distancel from the to A to the bottom edges thereof, sald spaces eing indicated by the reference numeral 6. At the topv ofk one of the members I providea fastening V7 which l extends across the spaces 6 andengages a catch 8 on the other member whereby the paJrts of the pot are held inassembled pos1 ion. y i
It will be vnoted that the'bottom 9 ofthe; l
pot and the joint of the hinge 3 to prevent the dirt from engaging with the bottom of the pot, and also to prevent the roots .of the plant passing through the bottom of the pot. My improved transplanting pot, as above stated, is adapted to receive seeds, plants and the like with the necessary soil, and the tap root 11 of the plant is prevented from growmg outward through the bottom of the pot, and in accordance with the nature of plants this tap root seeks an outlet and naturally grows through the spaces 6 as indicated in Figure l whereby the tap root extends later-v ally from the plant and develops in the earth a. distance from the Surface of the earth equal to the height of the pot, the pot being buried flush with the surface of the earth.
It will also be noted from Figure l that the other roots of the plant are insulated from the earth surrounding the pot and are confined Within the pot and intermingle with the earth in the pot to suchv an .extent that they hold the ball of vearth in the pot to-y gether when the plant is removed from the pot to be replaced in its permanent growing position.
In Figure 4 I have illustrated a row of plants diagrammatically. In the right hand plants I have illustrated the tap root extending from each side ofthe pot in the line of the row which is desirable in some plants because this permit-s cultivation between the rows without danger of injuring the tap roots.A In the lefthand portion of'Figure 4 I have illustrated the tap roots as extending from four sides ofthe pot, two of the tap roots extending in the line of the row, the other ltwo tap roots extending 'transversely of the row.
My improved transplanting pot has` proven very zeicient nin my business nasmuch as I have not lost, in transplanting 4a single plant grown in my transplanting pot,
ibeing the top :and the spaces 6 wherebyl the plant root is insulated lfrom the earth surrounding .the pot With the eXpa-nsion at the vepace's J6. I 'provide 'positive .spacing members 12 onithe side members of the pot which are adaptedto Vengage vthe vertical edge of the other member of the pot whereby pressure oftheearth around the lpot is prevented rfrom A('ecre:1sin g the predetermined size of "the spaces v6.
It will be kunderstood that echanges may lbe made i'nfthe vdetails of construction ofmy in- 'vention 'Within the lscope claims..
7Whaent Tclziim` is':
l. A transplanting pot including imperimproved pot is made from mperorate material, the only openings inthe pot 'of "the appended "tical edges of which 'are spaced from each other throughout ithe Aheight of Ithe-pot, a
VIhinge .connecting 2the sections IA'together -at fthe" `bottom, a false l`bottom i-n the Ybe/stom ofthe pot vse'ailing the 1bottom of the pot, and fastening-means'at the top-'df the'sections "holdin g thezsect'ions -togetherat the ftop.
