| 20090133325 | Cover for deflecting light and minimizing heat absorption by a body - Disclosed is a cover devised to be positioned on a body, especially sod, in order to deflect light and to minimize the build up of heat under the cover, while retaining moisture so as to not to hasten the decay of the body. This cover comprises an inner surface which contacts the body, and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface is of an opaque dark color to minimize heat build up and the outer surface is of an opaque pale color to deflect light. The inner and outer surfaces are produced by co-extrusion. As such, the cover is specifically designed to increase the shelf-life of sod, especially during its storage and transportation. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20100293848 | GRASS PROTECTION MAT - The present invention provides a grass protection mat which can be used for protection of grass in a golf course, a grass field, and a park lawn, or be used for growth of the grass. The grass protection mat includes a body member constituting grass penetrating spaces, protruding pillars formed at upper portion of the body member, lug members formed at lower portion of the body member, and an outer frame provided at outer wall of the body member. The grass protection mat further includes sinking prevention means provided across the grass penetrating spaces formed at the lower portion of the mat, elastically deformable sinking prevention means, mat sliding prevention means provided to the sinking prevention means, and sliding prevention means. The invention may obtain improve effects that the grass protection mat prevents the mat from sinking into a ground after construction of the mat on the ground, enhances sinking prevention effect by elastically deforming the sinking prevention means, while preventing the mat sinking, restrains the mat from slipping through the mat sliding prevention means provided to the sinking prevention means under or after construction of the mat, and effectively prevents from sliding on the mat during passage of the mat. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110120000 | COVERS FOR PLANT-GROWING MEDIA - A cover for a plant-growing medium comprises a main cover portion, a peripheral base spaced from the main cover portion and defining an outer perimeter of the cover, and a peripheral wall extending from a first side of the main cover portion between the main cover portion and the peripheral base. One or more plant growth channels are defined by one or more tubes extending from the first side of the main cover portion. Each tube has a proximal end adjacent the main cover portion and a distal end relative to the proximal end, with a first aperture defined in the main cover portion at the proximal end of the tube and a second aperture defined at the distal end of the tube. The first aperture and the second aperture communicate through the tube to define each plant growth channel. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110209403 | COVER FOR PLANT GROWING MEDIUM - The present invention relates to a device for covering a plant growing medium. The device includes a sheet that defines an aperture. One or more protrusions extend from the sheet to engage a top surface of the plant growing medium. A wall is integrally attached to each edge of the sheet. Each wall has a series of ridges. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110247266 | Garden plant protector - For the protection of domestic gardens against varmints, birds, and the like, this frame screen, or multiple outdoor screens thereof, guard against invasion and are readily portable for shipping. The screen is preferably formed by stamping of a platen wherein multiple cavities are defined end-to-end and side-by-side, exposing the covered garden rows of seedlings or plants to the atmosphere, which thus exclude voracious animals from feeding on the plants. Each screen unit may be closed at ends or extended in-line to accommodate the garden rows. Alternately, the units may serve as a frame to support a flexible cover against frost, excessive wind, rain, snow and the like. For transportation, multiple frame units are fitted upon one another into a compact, moveable bundle. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110265374 | PET TOY - A device for holding objects that are attractive to the senses of animals, including a device for protecting a live catnip plant for use by a cat, the device in one form having a protective enclosure defining an interior to receive the object, such as the plant and plant supporting medium, the cage including a plurality of bars spaced apart to prevent or restrict access to the interior and direct contact with the object while allowing liquid, air, and light to pass through the bars to sustain the plant life and allowing the plant to grow through the bars to the exterior of the device for access by the cat. A watering cap in a top of the cage distributes water to the plant inside the enclosure. A cat toy, scratching surface, or platform or combination thereof may be incorporated into or associated with the enclosure. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20130118068 | COVERS FOR PLANT-GROWING MEDIA - A cover for a plant-growing medium comprises a main cover portion, a peripheral base spaced from the main cover portion and defining an outer perimeter of the cover, and a peripheral wall extending from a first side of the main cover portion between the main cover portion and the peripheral base. One or more plant growth channels are defined by one or more tubes extending from the first side of the main cover portion. Each tube has a proximal end adjacent the main cover portion and a distal end relative to the proximal end, with a first aperture defined in the main cover portion at the proximal end of the tube and a second aperture defined at the distal end of the tube. The first aperture and the second aperture communicate through the tube to define each plant growth channel. | 05-16-2013 |
| 20140130407 | CONTAINER COVER DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A container cover device including a pliable sheet comprising a perimeter configured to be secured to an upper portion of a container so as to prevent spillage of contents of the container if the container were tilted, said pliable sheet having a first side and a second side, an opening provided in the pliable sheet extending from the first side to the second side of the pliable sheet, and a slit extending from the opening to the perimeter, thereby defining a first end and a second end of the container cover device, wherein the first end and the second end are configured to be removably engageable with one another, wherein the container cover device inhibits and/or prevents vegetative growth around an object configured to extend through the opening in the container cover device. A system and method are also disclosed. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140352208 | Grass Protector - A cover is provided for protecting grass from sun damage. The cover is perforated to allow an optimal amount of sunlight to reach the underlying grass, as well as allowing water to reach the grass. The cover is secured to the ground by inserting an anchor through an anchor hole of the cover. The anchor has a restraining portion that clamps down on the cover and prevents shifting of the cover. To protect large areas, multiple covers can be connected to each other to effectively form a single larger cover. Latching assemblies are positioned at each side of each protective cover, with a latch and latch receptacle making up the latching assembly. The latch and latch receptacle of a reference cover engage with the latch receptacle and latch of an adjacent cover to attach the two covers to each other. This process can be repeated to cover even larger areas. | 12-04-2014 |
