Description

[0001] PF LAN ZGE BARREL

[0002] The invention relates to a planter for positioning on a balcony railing, comprising a first planting area, a second planting area adjacent to the first planting area, and a first boundary area arranged between the first and the second planting area, wherein the first boundary area has a smaller width of its cross section than the width of the cross section of the first planting area.

[0003] State of the art

[0004] Planters are generally attached to balcony or terrace railings for the purpose of creating greenery, creating a natural screen, or for use within the so-called "urban gardening" movement, i.e. the small-scale cultivation of crops for personal consumption.

[0005] The placement of planters on railings requires consideration of sufficient accessibility for installation, filling, and watering. Furthermore, structural stability and fall protection must be ensured.

[0006] To achieve natural privacy through planting or to secure long-stemmed or larger plants, planting close to the ground and in the area of ​​the balcony railing is particularly effective, whereby the latter can also take on a supporting function. EP2422659 discloses a double planter intended for attachment to a support structure. The described planter consists of at least two pots which are connected to one another by connecting means and which, with the help of these connecting means, are simultaneously placed over an existing support structure on both sides, e.g. the upper end of a railing. The area of ​​the connecting means between the pots arranged on both sides of the support structure is not intended for filling.

[0007] Ground-level installation of planters according to EP2422659 is only possible if a suitable support structure, e.g., a railing cross brace, is present. This cross brace must be sufficiently spaced from the floor inside the railing to accommodate a planter of standard container volume. Due to the fundamental requirement for railings to also provide protection against climbing, cross braces are rare and are also positioned so close to the ground that they do not allow sufficient space for a double planter of this system.

[0008] EP35691 10A1 discloses a planter designed for attachment, in particular, to pallets by means of appropriately arranged flanges. The flanges, together with a provided through-hole, are also intended for connecting similar plants to one another. Direct attachment to a parapet railing is not provided.

[0009] DE102010030577.4 discloses a holding system for attaching plant pots to a railing. The described holding device includes, among other things, a support surface and a retaining strap for attaching to a railing.

[0010] Furthermore, it is generally known and common practice for planters or flowerpots, for example, according to DE202015106915U1, to be placed on the ground on the inside of the railing without necessarily being structurally connected to the railing. Attaching planters to the ground on the outside of the railing, even with the aid of known support systems, is not practical or generally possible due to limited accessibility.

[0011] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a planter for positioning on a balcony railing, which can be positioned easily, stably and safely by a user, in particular also near the ground.

[0012] The object is achieved by means of the planter for positioning on a balcony railing according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the subclaims.

[0013] The planter according to the invention for positioning on a balcony railing has a first planting area and a second planting area adjacent to the first planting area. A first boundary area is arranged between the first and second planting areas. Optionally, the planting areas together with the boundary area form a continuously fillable volume.

[0014] According to the invention, the first boundary area has a smaller cross-sectional width than the cross-sectional width of the first planting area. The first boundary area is designed and intended to be positioned between the vertically arranged struts of a balcony railing. DIN 18065 recommends a maximum distance of 12 cm between the vertically arranged struts of a balcony railing to ensure child safety. Due to this dimensioning of the cross-sectional width of the boundary area, the planter according to the invention is suitable for being positioned at least partially between the vertically arranged struts.

[0015] For the purposes of this document, cross-sections are planes that run parallel to the usually flat base of the planter within the planter. The dimensions of the cross-sections of the individual planting areas or border areas are indicated by cross-section lines that lie in a common plane.

[0016] In a further development of the invention, the plant container has a third planting area adjacent to the first planting area.

[0017] In a further embodiment of the invention, the third planting area is separated from the first planting area by a second boundary area. The second boundary area, like the first boundary area, is intended and suitable for positioning between the vertically arranged struts of a balcony railing. The planter according to the invention is therefore suitable for being positioned at least partially between the vertically extending struts. The planting areas, together with the boundary areas, form a continuously fillable volume.

[0018] In a further embodiment of the invention, the first and / or second boundary region between the first and the respective other planting area has a smaller cross-sectional width than the cross-sectional width of the first planting area. The boundary regions arranged between the first and second planting areas, or between the first and third planting areas, have a width such that the boundary regions can each be positioned between the vertically extending struts.

[0019] In a further embodiment of the invention, the width of the cross-section of the first and / or second boundary region is smaller than the width of the cross-section of the second or third planting area adjacent to the boundary region. The cross-sections of the second or third planting areas have a greater width than the cross-sections of the adjacent boundary region. While the boundary regions can each be positioned between the vertically extending struts, the planting areas are arranged completely or partially above or on the surface of a balcony or on the outside of the railing. The support surface of the planting areas is then dimensioned so large that the stability and structural integrity of the filled planter is increased.

[0020] In a further embodiment of the invention, the width of the cross-section of the first planting area, the width of the cross-section of the second planting area, the width of the cross-section of the third planting area, and / or the width of the first and / or second boundary area decrease toward the ground. The width of the cross-sections of the planting areas and the boundary area thus tapers toward the bottom of the planter. This increases the volume of the planter without reducing its stability.

[0021] In a further embodiment of the invention, the first and / or second boundary region has an outer wall, wherein the outer wall of the first and / or second boundary region has a recess toward the interior of the plant container. Optionally, the recess in the outer wall also tapers toward the bottom of the plant container.

[0022] In a further development of the invention, the first and / or second boundary region has two outer walls, wherein the outer walls of the first and / or second boundary region each have a recess toward the interior of the planter. The outer walls of the planting area(s) therefore project beyond the outer walls of the boundary regions, thereby achieving a larger fillable volume of the planter. At the same time, a vertically extending strut of the balcony railing arranged on the outer walls of the boundary region is at least partially encompassed, which increases the stability and positional security of the planter.

[0023] In a further embodiment of the invention, the two outer walls of the first and / or second boundary region are each arranged opposite one another. The cross-sectional lines of the outer walls are also typically arranged parallel to one another, with the distance between the outer walls being dimensioned such that the outer walls each border one of two adjacent and vertically arranged struts of a balcony railing.

[0024] In a further embodiment of the invention, the second and third planting areas are arranged parallel to each other. The planting areas each have a longitudinal direction, with the respective longitudinal directions aligned parallel to each other. This allows the planter's overall length to remain constant while simultaneously increasing its volume.

[0025] In a further embodiment of the invention, the first, second, and third planting areas form the shape of a U, with the second and third planting areas forming the legs of the U. Thus, while the volume of the planter is increased, its overall length is not increased.

[0026] In an advantageous development, a recess is arranged between the second and third planting areas. When the planter is positioned on a balcony railing, a vertically arranged strut of the balcony railing is arranged in the recess.

[0027] In a further embodiment of the invention, the recess is arranged in the boundary area between the first and the second and / or third planting areas. The boundary area has a cross-section with a smaller width than the respective cross-sections of the planting areas, with the dimensions of the boundary area being designed to accommodate a vertically arranged strut of a balcony railing. The planter is therefore arranged essentially between the vertical struts of a railing and on the outside of the railing. This increases the floor area of ​​the balcony available for other uses.

[0028] In a further embodiment of the invention, the distance between the facing outer walls of the second and third boundary regions is greater than or equal to 0.5 cm, preferably greater than or equal to 1 cm, and particularly preferably greater than or equal to 2 cm. Therefore, a recess for accommodating a vertically arranged strut of a balcony railing is arranged between the two boundary regions.

[0029] In a further embodiment of the invention, the distance between the outer wall of the second planting area facing the third planting area and the outer wall of the third planting area facing the second planting area is smaller than the distance between the outer wall of the first border area facing the second boundary area and the outer wall of the second border area facing the first boundary area. Therefore, the recess, which accommodates a vertically arranged strut of a balcony railing, is arranged between the boundary areas.

[0030] In a further embodiment of the invention, the distance between the mutually facing outer walls of the second and third planting areas is less than or equal to 2 cm, preferably less than or equal to 1 cm, and particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.5 cm. To arrange the planter on a balcony railing, the planter is positioned such that a vertically arranged strut of the balcony railing and the distance are aligned. For example, by exerting pressure along and parallel to the distance, the planter is moved into the desired position. During this movement, the vertically arranged strut slides between the mutually facing outer walls of the second and third planting areas up to the recess in the border area, which recess is dimensioned to accommodate a vertical strut.

[0031] In a further embodiment of the invention, one and / or both of the outer walls of the first and / or second and / or third planting area has a connecting element which is intended and suitable for connecting the outer wall of the first and / or second and / or third planting area to the opposite outer wall of the respective planting area of ​​adjacent plant containers. The connecting element ensures a positive connection between adjacent plant containers, for example by means of a clip connection. The spring of the clip connection deforms elastically and hooks into the corresponding groove of the adjacent plant container. By integrating the connecting element into an outer wall, no additional component is required, and production costs are kept low.

[0032] Embodiments of the planter according to the invention are shown schematically in simplified form in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description.

[0033] They show:

[0041] Fig. 1 shows a plan view of an embodiment of the planter 1 according to the invention for arrangement between two adjacent vertical struts 120 of a balcony railing 110. The planter 1 has a flat bottom 15 and the outer wall 10. The planter 1 also has the first planting area

[0042] 21 and the adjacent second planting area 22. Both planting areas 21 ,

[0043] 22 are separated by the first boundary region 50 located between the two planting areas 21, 22. Planting areas 21, 22 and boundary region 50 together form a continuously fillable volume.

[0044] The first planting area 21 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 31 and the second outer wall 32 arranged opposite it. Similarly, the second planting area 22 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 33 and the second outer wall 34 arranged opposite it. The first boundary area 50 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 51 and the second outer wall 52.

[0045] In this exemplary embodiment, the planting areas 21, 22 have the same width BP1, BP2, i.e. the width BP1 of the cross-sectional line P1-P1 of the first planting area 21 has the same width BP2 of the cross-sectional line P2-P2 of the second planting area 22. The cross-sectional lines P1-P1, P2-P2 are parallel to the ground 15 and are at the same distance from the ground 15. The widths BP1, BP2 of the cross-sectional lines P1-P1, P2-P2 of the first 21 and second planting areas 22 are 11.5 cm in this exemplary embodiment.

[0046] According to the invention, the width BG1 of the cross-sectional line G1-G1 of the first boundary region 50 is smaller than the respective widths BP1, BP2 of the cross-sectional lines P1-P1, P2-P2 of the planting regions 21, 22, wherein the respective cross-sectional lines P1-P1, P2-P2, G1-G1 also run parallel to the ground 15 and are at the same distance from the ground 15. The outer walls 51, 52 of the first boundary region 50 therefore each have a recess towards the interior of the planting container 1, which serves to accommodate a vertically arranged strut 120 of a balcony railing 110.

[0047] In this exemplary embodiment, the outer wall 10 is designed such that the width BP1 of the cross-sectional line P1-P1 of the first planting area 21, the width BP2 of the cross-sectional line P2-P2 of the second planting area 22, and the width BG1 of the cross-sectional line G1-G1 of the first boundary area 50 are reduced to the ground 15 (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4). The plant container 1 thus has a conical shape. This increases the volume of the plant container 1 without reducing its stability.

[0048] A further embodiment of the plant container 1 according to the invention is shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The plant container 1 also has a flat bottom 15 and the outer wall 10 (Fig. 2). The plant container 1 also has the first planting area

[0049] 21 and the adjacent second planting area 22 and third planting area 23. The first planting area 21 is separated by the first boundary area 50 and the second boundary area 60 arranged between the planting areas 21, 22, 23. The first 21, second 22 and third planting area 23 form the shape of a U (Fig. 3), with the second

[0050] 22 and third planting area 23, together with the respective adjacent border area, form the legs of the U. The second 22 and third planting area 23 are each arranged mirror-symmetrically and parallel to each other, as are the first 50 and second border area 60.

[0051] The first planting area 21 is delimited on the sides by the first outer wall 31 and the second outer wall 32 arranged opposite it. The second planting area 22 is delimited on the sides by the first outer wall 33 and the second outer wall 34 arranged opposite it. The third planting area 23 is delimited on the sides by the first outer wall 35 and the second outer wall 36 arranged opposite it. The outer walls 34, 35 face one another and have a distance AP12 of less than 2 cm, preferably less than 1 cm and particularly preferably less than 0.5 cm, in this exemplary embodiment 0.4 cm. Therefore, a recess AUP is arranged between the planting areas 22 and 23, in which recess a vertically arranged strut 120 is slidably guided for the inventive arrangement of the planter 1 on a balcony 100.

[0052] The first boundary region 50 is delimited on the sides by the first outer wall 51 and the second outer wall 52, the second boundary region 60 is delimited on the sides by the first outer wall 61 and the second outer wall 62. The outer walls 52, 61 face each other and have a distance AG12 of more than 0.5 cm, preferably more than 1 cm and particularly preferably more than 2 cm, in this embodiment 3.5 cm.

[0053] The distance AP12 between the outer walls 34, 35 of the planting areas 22, 23 is therefore smaller than the distance AG12 between the outer walls 52, 61 of the boundary areas 50, 60. Between the boundary areas 50, 60, the recess AUS is therefore arranged, which accommodates a vertically arranged strut 120 of a balcony railing 110.

[0054] The first planting area has a width BP1 of the cross section P1-P1 that is approximately twice as large as in the previous exemplary embodiment (see Fig. 1). The width BP2 of the cross-sectional line P2-P2 of the second planting area 22 has the same width BP3 as the cross-sectional line P3-P3 of the third planting area 23. The cross-sectional lines P1-P1, P2-P2, P3-P3 run parallel to the ground 15 and are at the same distance from the ground 15. The widths BP2, BP3 of the cross-sectional lines P2-P2, P3-P3 of the second 22 and third planting area 23 are 11.5 cm in this exemplary embodiment. According to the invention, the width BG1 of the cross section G1-G1 of the first boundary region 50 is smaller than the respective widths BP1, BP2 of the cross sections P1-P1, P2-P2 of the planting regions 21, 22; similarly, the width BG2 of the cross section G2-G2 of the second boundary region 60 is smaller than the respective widths BP1, BP3 of the cross sections P1-P1, P2-P2 of the planting regions 21, 23.The outer walls 51, 52 of the first boundary region 50 and respectively the outer walls 61, 62 of the second boundary region 60 therefore each have a recess in the direction of the interior of the plant container 1, which serves to receive a vertically arranged strut 120 of a balcony railing 110.

[0055] The outer wall of the first boundary region 51 and the second boundary region 62 each have a recess towards the interior of the plant container 1, which serves to receive a vertically arranged strut 120 of a balcony railing 110.

[0056] In this exemplary embodiment, the outer wall 10 is also designed such that the width BP1 of the cross-sectional line P1-P1 of the first planting area 21, the width BP2 of the cross-sectional line P2-P2 of the second planting area 22, the width P3-P3 of the cross-sectional line of the third planting area 23, the width BG1 of the cross-sectional line G1-G1 of the first boundary area 50, and the width BG2 of the cross-sectional line G2-G2 of the second boundary area 60 decrease toward the base 15 (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4). The plant container 1 also has a conical shape.

[0057] Fig. 4 shows a side view of the first exemplary embodiment (see Fig. 1). The plant container 1 has a flat base 15 and the outer wall 10. The plant container 1 also has the first planting area 21 and the adjacent second planting area 22. Both planting areas 21, 22 are separated by the first boundary area 50 arranged between the two planting areas 21, 22.

[0058] The first planting area 21 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 31 and the second outer wall 32 arranged opposite it. In the same way, the second planting area 22 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 33 and the second outer wall 34 arranged opposite it. The first boundary area 50 is bounded on the sides by the first outer wall 51 and the second outer wall 52. The planting areas 21, 22 have the same width BP1, BP2; the width BP1 of the cross-section P1-P1 of the first planting area 21 has the same width BP2 of the cross-section P2-P2 of the second planting area 22. The width BG1 of the cross-section G1-G1 of the first boundary area 50 is smaller than the respective widths BP1, BP2 of the cross-sections P1-P1, P2-P2 of the planting areas 21, 22.

[0059] The outer wall 10 is designed such that the width BP1 of the cross section P1-P1 of the first planting area 21, the width BP2 of the cross section P2-P2 of the second planting area 22, and the width BG1 of the cross section G1-G1 of the first boundary area 50 decrease towards the ground 15. The planting container 1 thus has a conical shape. The widths of the cross sections P1-P1, P2-P2, G1-G1 lie in a common plane Q, which runs parallel to the ground 15 within the planting container 1 and are at the same distance from the ground 15.

[0060] Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of three adjacent planters 1 arranged on a balcony railing 110 consisting of vertically extending struts 120 connected by a strut 130. The balcony 100 has the surface 140; parallel to the surface 140, at a distance A, runs a horizontally arranged lower strut 130 of the balcony railing 110. The vertically extending struts 120 are arranged at regular intervals. The distance between the struts 120 is typically less than 12 cm, measured from the opposite inner sides of adjacent struts.

[0061] The planter 1 has the first planting area 21 and the adjacent second planting area 22, wherein both planting areas are separated by the first boundary area 50. The outer wall 10 has the lateral outer walls 31, 32, 33, 34 of the planting areas and 51, 52 of the boundary area. A vertical strut 120 of the balcony railing 110 is arranged on each of the outer walls of the boundary area. The width of the first boundary area 50 is smaller than the width of the first planting area 21, whereas in this embodiment the width of the second planting area is equal to the width of the first boundary area. In this exemplary embodiment, the base 15 is designed such that it is not flat but has a step.The first planting area 21 stands on the surface of a balcony 100, while the first boundary area 50 and the second planting area 22 are at least partially positioned on or above the lower horizontally extending strut 130 of a balcony railing 110. The second planting area is at least partially arranged on the outside of the railing, thereby increasing the floor area of ​​the balcony available for other uses. The first planting area 21 each has a connecting element 40, which in this embodiment is designed as a groove 41 and tongue 42 (see Fig. 6). The groove 41 of one planter 1 engages with the tongue 42 of the adjacent planter 1, or vice versa (see Fig. 6). This creates a positive connection between adjacent planters 1, and the connection is designed to be detachable. Optionally, the planters 1 can also be additionally fastened to the struts 120, 130 by means of fastening elements, e.g., clamps.By arranging a plurality of plant containers 1 according to the invention, a positive connection is achieved between the plant containers 1 and combines several identical plant containers 1 into a single, visually and structurally integrated unit. Furthermore, the stability of the plant containers 1 is increased.

[0062] Possible embodiments of the cross-sections of connecting elements 40 of two adjacently arranged plant containers 1 are shown in Fig. 6. The connecting elements 40 are arranged on the side surfaces 30 of the first partial area 10 and designed as a groove 41 and tongue 42. One side wall of the plant container forms the groove and the corresponding tongue is integrated into the opposite side wall of the plant container. Possible designs of the profile are rectangular (Fig. 6 a), triangular (Fig. 6 b), a profile composed of a circular segment and a rectangular shape (Fig. 6 c) and a curved profile (Fig. 6 d). The embodiments shown here have in common that they suppress mutual displacement parallel to the side surfaces 30 and thus increase the stability of the adjacently arranged plant containers 1 and reduce the risk of them falling.

[0063] Fig. 7 shows an arrangement of three adjacent planters 1, each with three planting areas, arranged on a balcony railing 110 consisting of vertically extending struts 120 connected by a strut 130. The balcony 110 has the surface 140; parallel to the surface 140, at a distance A, runs a horizontally arranged lower strut 130 of the balcony railing 110. The vertically extending struts 120 are arranged at regular intervals. The distance between the struts 120 is typically less than 12 cm, measured from the opposite inner sides of adjacent struts.

[0064] The planter 1 has the first planting area 21 and the adjacent, parallel second planting areas 22 and third planting areas 23, wherein the first and second planting areas are separated by the first boundary area 50 and the first and third planting areas are separated by the second boundary area 60. The outer wall 10 has the lateral outer walls 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 of the three planting areas as well as 51, 52 and 61, 62 of the two boundary areas. In this exemplary embodiment, the base 15 is designed such that it runs flat. The first and second boundary areas are positioned on the lower horizontally running strut 130 of a balcony railing 110, whereas the first planting area 21 is arranged above the surface 140 of the balcony 100. The second 22 and third planting areas 23 are positioned on the outside of the railing above the surface 140 and at least partially protrude beyond it.
