Abstract
Description
1. Title of the invention
[0001] Modular vertical greening system with sloping planting levels, consisting of pressed support panels made from recycled textile fibers, suitable for moss and other plants. 2. Technical field
[0002] The invention relates to the areas of vertical greening, ecological wall greening systems, urban gardening, sustainable materials and facade and interior design with plants. 3. State of the art
[0003] Moss walls with glued-on or pre-cultivated moss, plant pot systems, and facade-integrated greening solutions, usually made of plastics or metals, are well-known. However, these are generally expensive, maintenance-intensive, or technically complex. A vertical greening system with sloping planting levels made of recycled textile material has not yet been disclosed. 4. Object of the invention
[0004] The aim of the invention is to create a resource-efficient, modular, and cost-effective greening unit that can be used both indoors and outdoors. In particular, it is intended to provide mosses and plants with a growth-promoting environment that supports optimal sun exposure and water drainage through sloping planting levels. 5. Solution to the task
[0005] The greening unit consists of a structurally stable carrier panel made from recycled textile fibers (e.g., cotton, polyester, blends). The textile fibers are compressed under pressure and bonded to form a dimensionally stable panel using any number of ecological or technical binding agents. The surface of the panel is textured and features molded, sloping planting levels with individually adjustable angles (e.g., 10° to 45° from the vertical), allowing for targeted light orientation of the plants. The greening panel can be mounted flush against a wall or installed freestanding. Its modular design allows multiple panels to be connected using rail systems, plug-in connectors, or overlapping panels. Optionally, the panel can be equipped with a simple passive irrigation system (e.g., capillary fleece, drip line, drainage channel). 6. Design
[0006] A rectangular panel measuring 40 x 60 cm and 2-4 cm thick is preferred. The front side features trapezoidal or wavy planting levels with a bowl-like structure. The surface is porous to retain moisture. The back is smooth or fitted with mounting eyelets. The panels can be arranged horizontally or vertically. 7. Summary (Abstract)
[0007] The invention relates to a modular, structured greening panel for vertical planting, consisting of textile remnants pressed under pressure. The support panel has sloping planting levels that allow for natural alignment with the light source and is suitable for moss and plant growth indoors and outdoors. The greening unit is ecological, modular, and versatile in its installation. 9. Technical drawing (Fig. 1) - Appendix 3
[0008] The following sketch shows a preferred embodiment of the modular greening panel with sloping planting levels, back connection and base for free or wall-mounted installation. 10. Legend for the technical drawing (Fig. 1)
