| 20080209806 | Plant Support and Method for Cultivating a Plant - Plant support consisting of a base and a spiral, fitted rotatably thereon and extending vertically. This spiral is made for accommodating therein the main stem of a plant, such as pepper, cucumber, aubergine or tomato. Branches of the plant extend outwards to beyond the spiral. In the spiral is a stationary post. If the plant has reached the top of the spiral, the spiral is rotated with respect to the base such that the plant shifts downwards without rotating. The plant can subsequently continue to grow upwards again. A number of plant supports of this type can be combined with a common drive. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080263944 | Support for potted plants - A plant support having a base and a riser extending upward from the base. The base is received in a pot or the like and soil placed thereon to stabilize the base. The riser extends above the soil to support a plant growing in the soil. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090056217 | Staking system for growing container - A staking system for use with a self-watering growing container includes an outrigger structure at each longitudinal end. Each outrigger structure is mountable on the bottom of the growing container to provide stability. Two vertical stakes are attached to respective outrigger structures. Connectors at the top of each stake thus mount a horizontal stake element between the two connectors. A rim clamp secures the vertical stakes, clamping them on the lip of the plant growing container. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090077881 | GARDEN BED ASSEMBLY AND EXTENSIONS THEREFOR - A garden bed assembly and extensions therefor is disclosed. The garden bed assembly includes at least one raised garden starter module containing suitable planting soil or other growing media for plants and may be extended using one or more extender modules, such as straight extender modules and/or corner extender modules. The assembly as disclosed herein includes one or more modules defining the planter. The front section of the starter module and the straight extender module may include a rotatable upper portion to provide convenient access to the plants. Each module section may have a substantially imperforate lower portion and a perforate upper portion prohibiting unwanted creatures such as gophers, rabbits and other animals from gaining access to the growing plants in the garden bed assembly. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090272032 | Flower pot plant hold up device - A flower pot plant hold up device for training a plant to grow straight and tall includes a base for placement within a flower pot and a support pole vertically extending from the base and eccentrically mounted thereto so that the plant grows upward from the center of the flower pot. The support pole includes a plurality of apertures spaced along its vertical extension with each aperture capable of receiving therein an arm that is oriented at a 35 degree angle relative to the vertical extension of the support pole and wherein the trunk, stem, limbs, and branches of the plant are tied to the arms, and as the plant grows straight along the support pole various parts of the plant can be untied and retied to the arms to accommodate the upward growth of the plant and arms can be inserted and removed as needed to also accommodate the plant's straight and tall growth. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100043284 | SELF-ADJUSTING PLANT SUPPORT SYSTEM - A plant support system that is self-adjusting in height to accommodate growth of a plant, and a method of using such a system. The system includes a pole assembly having a base and first and second pole sections. The base is sized to be received in a container, the first pole section is coupled to the base of the pole assembly, and the second pole section is coupled to the first pole section so as to enable the second pole section to longitudinally extend and retract relative to the first pole section while remaining coupled to the first pole section. Features are disposed on at least the second pole section for releasably securing portions of a plant longitudinally extending alongside the pole assembly. The container is preferably supported by a turntable to rotate about its axis of symmetry. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110146150 | Integrated planter box/trellis combination - Planter modules, preferably of plastic or fiberglass, are mounted into holes on a one or two layer trellis. Mounting of the planter modules occurs normally after the planter module is filled with a bag of soil and plants are planted into the soil so as to start growing out of a front surface of said planter module. The plants are grown for 1-3 months typically before the planter module is mounted in its hole in the trellis. An array of said planter modules is used. The trellis is then erected and mounted to a wall which is to be converted into a green wall covered by plants. The plants then continue to grow in the planter modules and eventually cover the whole trellis thereby covering the wall. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110277382 | Adjustable stake assembly and method of use - An adjustable stake assembly has a stake support appointed to receive at least one stake segment to form a structure, such as a plant support, lattice, fence, plant holder, recreational or decorative structure. The adjustable stake assembly includes a universal stake support having a tip appointed to penetrate a surface, a body portion and a top plate having a protrusion with a stake aperture integrated therein. At least one stake segment having a central portion and a lateral and distal end is appointed to be removably snapped-onto the universal stake support. The stake segment includes a flange appointed to be received in the stake aperture of the universal stake support, and the distal end having a segment aperture integrated therein appointed for receiving another stake segment for vertically stacking a plurality of the stake segments. In another embodiment the stake segments include at least one lateral connector section appointed for receiving at least one lateral connector section of another stake segment for cross-connection of the stake segments in relation to one another. Advantageously, in this manner the stake segments can be interconnected to one another for horizontal cross-connection in forming lattices, fences, or other structures. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20140150341 | Solar-Powered Planter Assembly - A solar-powered planter assembly includes a planter, a support structure removably connected to the planter, and a solar-powered lighting assembly removably connected to the support structure. The solar-powered lighting assembly includes a control circuit that causes a light included in the lighting assembly to turn on at night using power supplied by a rechargeable battery and a solar cell included in the lighting assembly to charge the rechargeable battery during the day. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20150101248 | Mesh Lined Planter Box - Disclosed herein is a mesh lined planter box for use in growing of plants where mobility and/or easy removal of the plants and/or growing media is desired. The mesh lining in one example comprises a replaceable fabric mesh bag into which growing media is placed for growing of plants. Also disclosed is a trellis which may be removed from the planter box. The trellis may also include vertically adjustable cross members. A watering system is also disclosed attached to the base unit, or trellis of the planter box. The watering system in one form comprising a plurality of feed lines attached to a common main line and having valves on each feed line. | 04-16-2015 |
| 20160135386 | PLANT GROWTH SUPPORT POT - A plant growth support pot having a support structure to enhance growth in a desired line, said support pot comprising of a pot, wherein said pot has a pot-height, a pot-collar, a pot-bottom, a pot-side-wall and a pot-top; an insert, wherein said insert has an insert-height, an insert-collar, an insert-bottom, an insert-side-wall and an insert-top, wherein said insert-height being shorter than said pot-height; said insert being inserted into the pot, wherein said insert-collar coincides with said pot-collar; a plurality of pillar members each having a distal, a medial and a proximal end; said pot-bottom comprising of a plurality of receiving holes to receive said distal end of said pillar members; and said insert-bottom comprising of a plurality of insert-aperture to receive said medial section of said pillar members. | 05-19-2016 |
