Description

[0001] The invention relates to a system of decorative cladding modules (covers) specifically designed for the lower and upper frames of glass, acrylic, and plastic terrariums, insectariums, and paludariums. The system allows for simple and quick customization of standard enclosures. The covers are shaped to fit precisely against the edges of the enclosures and can be securely fixed using various fastening methods (clamps, screws, adhesives). Their key feature is their interchangeability and variable design, which enables a wide range of aesthetic customizations. Reference symbol list 1 terrarium 2 Modular Covers

Claims

[1] The Interchangeable Covers The subject of this protection are interchangeable decorative covers for terrariums, insectariums, and paludariums. These covers are designed to cover the standard lower and upper edges of the enclosures. The covers can have different shapes (e.g., rounded corners, curved edges) and designs (e.g., ornaments, reliefs) to allow for individual customization. They are made of any solid material such as plastic, wood, metal, or composite materials and are available in various colors and textures. [2] The combination of covers and fastening system protection is also claimed for the combination of the cover described in claim 1 with a fastening system. This system makes it possible to attach and fix the covers to the edges of the housing. It may comprise one or more of the following fastening methods: • Clamping mechanism: A clamping or clip system that securely attaches the cover to the terrarium without making permanent changes. • Screw mechanism: A fastening system using screws and nuts, which allows for a particularly strong and permanent attachment. • Adhesive system: A fastening by gluing, either permanently (e.g. with strong industrial adhesive) or temporarily (e.g. with double-sided adhesive tape), which allows for easy replacement. The combination of these elements protects the overall system, allowing the terrariums to be customized quickly and easily, and the covers to be replaced if necessary.
