Abstract
Description
[0001] The subject of this utility model is a plant support consisting of a vertical rod with an attached ornament or end piece. A bracket is attached to this rod via a central connecting element – a spherical or cylindrical component with an internal thread. This bracket serves as a plant support and is slid onto the rod and axially fixed by means of a socket head cap screw (for example, M6). The connecting element allows for stepless height adjustment by loosening and tightening the screw.
[0002] The structure is collapsible, allowing for space-saving storage and easy transport. The choice and thickness of materials make it particularly robust and durable.
[0003] On the side of the bracket are a 90° hook and a corresponding eyelet. This allows several brackets to be connected together, so that complete rings or larger structures can be formed to support entire groups of plants.
[0004] The material currently used is structural steel S355 (alternatively S235 or stainless steel are also possible). In non-stainless steel versions, the surface is temporarily protected against corrosion by oiling. The screw connection is based on an M6 internal thread for secure locking.
Claims
[1] A central connecting element with an internal thread for fixing a clip-on, laterally equipped plant support bracket by means of an internal hexagon screw, which is axially displaceable on a vertical rod and can be locked there. (See drawing 1) [2] The combination of a demountable design and robust construction through the use of steel materials (for example, S235, S355 or stainless steel) of sufficient thickness for permanent outdoor use, while simultaneously allowing for space-saving storage when disassembled. (See drawing 1) (See drawing 2) [3] A hook-and-eye construction attached to the side of the bracket for connecting several plant support elements in a circular pattern, allowing for modular expansion to support groups of plants. (See drawings 3 and 4)
