Description

[0001] The invention relates to a holder and a mounting set, in particular for plant containers.

[0002] Flowerpot holders are known which have a support surface for holding a flowerpot and a holding device firmly attached to the support surface, by means of which such flowerpot holders can be positioned at a location, in particular a railing. The known flowerpot holders are not adaptable to the specific dimensions of the flowerpot or the conditions of the installation location.

[0003] A user must therefore select a larger size balcony planter holder relative to the flowerpot to be hung. A disadvantage of this is that oversized planter holders can cause the flowerpots to tip over. Another drawback is that the holder, which is not adjustable to the specific installation location, cannot be securely positioned in many locations. Consequently, the support surface is often not horizontal but rather tilted, further compromising the stability of the flowerpot and / or causing water to leak out.

[0004] Furthermore, various holders for box-shaped balcony planters are known in the prior art. Such balcony planter holders support a balcony planter and are specifically designed for mounting on a balcony railing. The support is usually achieved using two balcony planter holders. The adjustability of the balcony planter holders to the size of the planter is often achieved by adjusting the planter's depth. Balcony planter holders are known which have a first adjustment device for adapting the holder to a specific, essentially rectangular, shape of the balcony planter. Adjustment to the width of the planter is achieved by adjusting the distance between the two balcony planter holders.

[0005] Known balcony box holders do not have any safety devices to prevent the container from tipping towards the balcony, which means that, especially in bad weather, the container is not securely positioned on the balcony box holder.

[0006] Additionally or alternatively, balcony box holders are known which have a second adjustment device for adapting the balcony box holder to the respective dimensions of the balcony railing.

[0007] First and / or second adjustment devices are known which are rail-based, wherein a substantially L-shaped rail with a groove arranged on one leg of the rail interacts with an adjustment device in that the adjustment device is slidable along the rail and can be locked in a position by means of a locking device.

[0008] Standard balcony planter brackets are not designed to hold a flowerpot, as its column-like shape would not provide a secure hold. While using two brackets could create two support surfaces to position a flowerpot securely, the brackets themselves would visually dominate the arrangement, and any tilting of either bracket would again compromise the stability of the flowerpot. Therefore, using a balcony planter bracket does not allow for the secure placement of a flowerpot.

[0009] The purpose of the invention is to improve the state of the art.

[0010] The problem is solved by a holder for supporting a container, in particular a plant container, comprising a first connecting element which is connected at a lower end to a support area projecting in an extension direction for receiving the container and at an upper end to a fastening device, as well as a first locking hook arranged on the first connecting element and open in a first direction and / or a second locking hook arranged on the fastening device and open in a first direction, wherein the first locking hook or the second locking hook can be brought into contact with an inner wall of a container rim in a usage position, wherein the support area has a bearing surface on which the container is at least partially in contact in the usage position, and at least one first holding arm, wherein a first,The second leg, projecting in the opposite direction to the first, is arranged so that the container is securely attached to the holder in the use position by means of the first securing hook or the second securing hook, each in conjunction with the first leg.

[0011] Advantageously, a plant container, such as a flowerpot or a balcony box, which is positioned at a location by means of the holder, is securely held. The plant container is advantageously held in a substantially upright position. Thus, tipping of the plant container relative to the holder and / or the location is substantially at least inhibited and / or prevented by the holder according to the invention.

[0012] A key idea is that a plant container is securely held in place by means of a holder. The following terms will be explained:

[0013] A "holder" is understood to be a device for supporting a container, particularly vertically. The holder is typically multi-part and comprises a first connecting element with an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of which has a fastening device and the lower end a support area. The holder can be made of plastic and / or metal. A plastic version advantageously results in a lightweight holder. A metal version advantageously results in a holder designed to accommodate heavier containers.

[0014] The term "cooperation" refers specifically to the combined action of the first and / or second locking hooks, and the first leg of the first holding arm, on the vessel. This cooperation ensures the secure attachment of the vessel to the holder, insofar as the first and / or second locking hooks essentially prevent the vessel from tilting, and the first leg, in particular, prevents the vessel from slipping off the support surface.

[0015] The container can be, in particular, a planter such as a flowerpot or a balcony box. A flowerpot is, in particular, a columnar planter. The flowerpot may additionally have a saucer by which the container is attached to the holder. A balcony box is, in particular, a box-shaped planter. The columnar planter has, in particular, a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a base that is connected to the outer surface. The box-shaped planter has, in particular, a rectangular hollow profile as its outer surface and a base. The base and outer surface each enclose a cavity, and the container has, in particular, a planting opening opposite the base. The cavity of the planter can be filled, in particular, with a planting substrate and / or a plant via the planting opening and is thus designed to receive the planting substrate and / or the plant.The base may have an opening, particularly for draining water. The planter may be made of terracotta, wood, plastic, and / or metal.

[0016] The planter's height can range from 5 cm to 40 cm. The outer diameter of the column-shaped container can range from 5 cm to 30 cm. The width of the balcony planter can range from 20 cm to 150 cm, and the depth from 5 cm to 20 cm. The wall thickness of the planter can range from 0.2 cm to 1.5 cm.

[0017] The columnar container can have a first outer diameter in a lower section and a second outer diameter in a second section, and / or the balcony planter can have a first cross-sectional area in a lower section and a second cross-sectional area in a second section. In a columnar container with sections of different outer diameters, the first outer diameter, located at the base, can be smaller than the second outer diameter, located at the planting opening. In a balcony planter with sections of different cross-sectional areas, the first cross-sectional area, located at the base, can be smaller than the second cross-sectional area, located at the planting opening. This design optimizes the filling of the planter.

[0018] The first outer diameter at the base of the columnar container can range from 5 cm to 20 cm. The width of the first cross-sectional area at the base of the balcony planter can be up to 5 cm less than the width of the second cross-sectional area, and / or the depth of the first cross-sectional area at the base of the balcony planter can be up to 2 cm less than the depth of the second cross-sectional area.

[0019] A "support area" is understood to be, in particular, an area of ​​the holder designed to receive and, especially, vertically support the container. The support area comprises, in particular, a support surface and a first support arm arranged thereon. The container makes at least partial contact with the support surface in a user position.

[0020] In one embodiment, the support surface corresponds to the first holding arm, whereby the use of two holders of this embodiment advantageously achieves tilt-free holding and the simple design of the holder achieves optimized manufacturability.

[0021] The bearing surface, also called the base plate, can essentially be round. Additionally or alternatively, the bearing surface can be triangular, square, star-shaped, or rectangular. The bearing surface can be located directly and / or indirectly on the first connecting element.

[0022] The first support arm has in particular a first connection area that is essentially horizontally oriented and a first leg that projects essentially towards the ceiling from the first connection area.

[0023] The width of the first retaining arm can be from 0.5 cm to 7 cm, in particular from 1 cm to 3.5 cm. The length of the first retaining arm can correspond to the thickness of the first leg and / or be up to 25 cm. The length of the first retaining arm extends, in particular, from an outer surface of the leg to an end of the first retaining arm located opposite the leg, with the first retaining arm facing the support surface. In other words, the first leg is arranged at one of its open ends, opposite the support surface in a user position.

[0024] The length of the first leg can range from 0.5 cm to 7 cm. The width of the first leg corresponds in particular to the width of the first support arm and can also range from 0.5 cm to 7 cm.

[0025] The first support arm is made of either plastic and / or metal. A support arm made of plastic is advantageously easy to manufacture at low cost and / or is lightweight. A support arm made of metal is advantageously very stable and can be manufactured easily and cost-effectively, particularly by bending.

[0026] The first retaining arm rests, at least partially, against the support surface via the connection area. In one embodiment, the first leg is additionally or alternatively designed to rest against and / or be attached to the support surface.

[0027] The first retaining arm, in particular the connection area of ​​the first retaining arm, can be fixedly connected to the support surface and / or, in one embodiment, be slidably arranged on the support surface in the radial direction. In other words, in a slidable embodiment, the length of the first retaining arm is adjustable.

[0028] To enable the length of the first support arm to be adjusted, a third adjustment device can be arranged on the first support arm, particularly at the connection point between the first support arm and the bearing surface. By means of this third adjustment device, the size of the bearing area of ​​the holder can thus advantageously be adjusted, particularly between a minimum size of 4 cm and a maximum size of 25 cm.

[0029] The adjustability can be achieved, in particular, steplessly, by means of a connecting area of ​​the first support arm that is designed, at least partially, as a rail that can be guided parallel to the support surface. Alternatively or additionally, the adjustability can be achieved in stages, in particular by means of predefined setting positions of the connecting area on the support surface. In this way, the size of the support area is advantageously adjustable corresponding to the size of a base area of ​​the vessel.

[0030] Particularly to increase friction between the support area and the vessel, for design reasons, and / or to achieve improved weather resistance, the surface of the support area and / or the holder may be subjected to a surface treatment and / or have a specific surface design, such as ribbing. Increasing the friction between the support area and the vessel advantageously further inhibits slippage of the vessel.

[0031] In one embodiment, at least one second retaining arm is arranged on the bearing surface of the support area. Additionally or alternatively, the support area can have one or more further retaining arms arranged on the bearing surface.

[0032] The second retaining arm and / or subsequent retaining arms can be designed in the same or a similar manner to the first retaining arm. Therefore, the design options and features of the second retaining arm and / or subsequent retaining arms essentially correspond to the design options and features of the first retaining arm. To avoid repetition, reference is made to the explanations above.

[0033] The size of the support area can additionally or alternatively result from the adjustability of the multiple or numerous support arms, particularly in the case of a holder design with a plurality or number of support arms.

[0034] By means of at least the first and second support arms and / or further support arms, optimized adaptability of the holder to the vessel and optimized, secure positioning of the vessel on the holder are achieved. The support area of ​​a single holder, which has a first support arm and at least one second support arm, advantageously achieves a substantially tilt-free hold of the vessel by means of the support arms.

[0035] The positioning of the first retaining arm and / or the second retaining arm and / or further retaining arms with respect to the support surface can be equidistantly distributed around the circumference of the support surface. Alternatively, particularly in an embodiment of the holder with a first retaining arm and a second retaining arm, the position of the first retaining arm on the support surface can be shifted by 120 degrees relative to the position of the first connecting element with respect to the support surface in a first direction, and the position of the second retaining arm on the support surface can be shifted by 120 degrees relative to the position of the first connecting element with respect to the support surface in a second direction.

[0036] In one embodiment, the holder can be used to accommodate a substantially rectangular container, such as a balcony planter. Thus, a substantially rectangular container can advantageously be positioned at a single location using only one holder. By using a holder with at least one first holding arm and a second holding arm, a secure positioning of a balcony planter with just one holder is achievable. Advantageously, the holder can be used at one time to position a substantially column-shaped container and at a second time to position a substantially rectangular container.

[0037] A "location" can be a parapet, in particular a balcony parapet, which may be made of metal, plastic and / or wood, a substantially horizontal strut, such as a ladder rung or an area of ​​a wooden structure, such as a pallet, and / or a balcony ceiling.

[0038] The lower end of a first connecting element is arranged, in particular projecting upwards, both directly and / or indirectly on the support area of ​​the holder. An indirect arrangement of the support area on the first connecting element can be achieved by means of a third retaining arm on the support area, which is arranged in the direction of the first connecting element. The position of the support area relative to the first connecting element can be fixed and / or adjustable. In other words, the distance of the center point of the support area to the first connecting element can be adjustable. The adjustability of the support area relative to the first connecting element can be achieved by means of an adjustment device on the third retaining arm.

[0039] The support area projects from the first connecting element, particularly in the direction of projection. The direction of projection is defined as the direction visible to an observer. When the hook is attached to a balcony railing, the direction of projection depends on whether it is oriented towards the railing from the outside or from the inside.

[0040] The first connecting element can be made of plastic and / or metal. A connecting element made of plastic is advantageously easy to manufacture at low cost and / or has a low weight. A connecting element made of metal is advantageously very strong and can be manufactured easily and cost-effectively, particularly by bending.

[0041] The vertical connecting element can have a length of 10 cm to 50 cm and a width of 0.5 cm to 7 cm. In one embodiment, the first connecting element is designed in two parts. The first connecting element can have a guide rail and a slide arranged on the guide rail, on which the support area is located. By moving the slide along the guide rail, the distance between the support area and an end of the first connecting element opposite the support area, also called the upper edge of the first connecting element, can be adjusted. The position of the slide on the guide rail can be locked using a locking device associated with the second adjustment device. The adjustment range can be + / - 20 cm.

[0042] Additionally or alternatively, a first locking hook, open in a first direction, is arranged on the first connecting element. The first locking hook is particularly temporary and can therefore advantageously be removed during the use of a second locking hook, thus enabling optimal positioning of the vessel on the hook.

[0043] The first direction is oriented towards the ground in a usage position.

[0044] The first securing hook can essentially be L-shaped, with one leg of the L-shaped first securing hook projecting from the first connecting element towards a center point of the vessel arranged on the holder and being connected to another leg which projects downwards.

[0045] In a working position, the first locking hook can be brought close to and / or at least partially encompasses the rim of the vessel with the first connecting element, and the first locking hook rests against an inner wall of the vessel rim. In this working position, there may also be a gap between the first locking hook and the inner wall of the vessel, which decreases as the vessel is moved away from the hook until the first locking hook rests against the inner wall. This gap is, in particular, at most 3.5 cm. The first locking hook may have a further adjustment device for setting the distance between the first locking hook and the vessel rim. Finally, in one embodiment, the first locking hook may be designed to engage with the vessel rim and thus advantageously lock a position in a substantially fixed manner.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first locking hook is slidably mounted vertically along a guide rail of the first connecting element, and a first position of the first locking hook relative to the first connecting element can be locked by means of a first adjusting device. The first position corresponds in particular to a height of the vessel, insofar as the set distance between the support area and the first locking hook essentially corresponds to the height of the vessel. In this way, the vessel can advantageously be locked to the holder by means of the first locking hook.

[0047] In a further embodiment, the hook has a second safety hook arranged on the fastening device and open in the first direction, which in a usage position is oriented particularly towards the ground.

[0048] The second locking hook can be essentially L-shaped, wherein one leg of the L-shaped second locking hook can be designed as a guide rail, in particular on a transverse element of the fastening device, and is arranged projecting in the extension direction from the first connecting element towards a center point of the vessel arranged on the holder, and has a further leg which is designed to project downwards.

[0049] The second locking hook is specifically designed, via the guide rail, to be in contact with the first connecting element when not in use. The second locking hook is therefore not located within the clear opening of the hook. Particularly when using the first locking hook, the second locking hook thus becomes visually less conspicuous, allowing for easy positioning of the container.

[0050] In its operating position, the second locking hook is designed to be moved by means of the guide rail to a vessel rim and locked in the set position by means of a sixth adjusting device. Thus, in the operating position, the second locking hook advantageously encompasses at least part of the vessel rim together with the first connecting element and rests against an inner wall of the vessel rim. In the operating position, there may also be a gap between the second locking hook and the inner wall of the vessel, which decreases as the vessel is moved away from the hook until the second locking hook rests against the inner wall of the vessel. This gap is, in particular, a maximum of 3.5 cm.Finally, in one embodiment, the second locking hook can be designed to engage the edge of the vessel and thus advantageously lock a position essentially firmly.

[0051] The first safety hook and / or the second safety hook can be made of metal and / or plastic and thus advantageously withstands high loads.

[0052] A fastening device is arranged at the upper end of the first connecting element, opposite the support area.

[0053] The fastening device can be designed to position the holder at a location, in particular on a parapet and / or on a balcony ceiling.

[0054] In one embodiment, the fastening device is a parapet bracket. The parapet bracket comprises, in particular, a transverse element and a first support leg. The transverse element projects, in particular, opposite to the direction of projection, from the upper end of the first connecting element, and the first support leg projects downwards from the transverse element. The first support leg is arranged on a side of the transverse element opposite the first connecting element.

[0055] The transverse element has a width of 0.5 cm to 7 cm, which can correspond to the width of the first connecting element. The width of the first support leg is also 0.5 cm to 7 cm and corresponds to the width of the transverse element.

[0056] The first support leg can be designed to slide into the cross element and / or as a guide rail that is movable along the cross element, thus allowing for size adjustment of the parapet bracket. To facilitate insertion, the cross element has a tab, and the width of the first support leg is specifically 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm less than the width of the cross element.

[0057] The size of the parapet bracket can have an adjustment range of 5 cm to 15 cm. Thus, by means of a retractable first support leg, the bracket can advantageously be adapted to a parapet.

[0058] The first support leg may additionally or alternatively have at least one hole which can be used as a fastening element for attaching the bracket using a screw. This advantageously allows the bracket to be locked in a fixed position on the parapet. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the bracket can be screwed directly to a wall using a screw and the hole.

[0059] In its operating position, the bracket encloses at least part of the upper edge of the parapet along a transverse dimension. The transverse element rests at least partially on the upper edge and / or projects beyond it along its transverse dimension. In this way, the bracket ensures a secure attachment to the parapet and is adaptable to various parapet shapes.

[0060] A holder with a parapet bracket as a fastening device advantageously rests against the parapet in its operating position through the interaction of at least a section of the cross element and at least a section of the first support leg and / or at least a section of the first connecting element. In this way, the container is advantageously held securely against the parapet. Additionally or alternatively, the parapet can be multi-part and have at least one upper crossbar and one lower crossbar, with the holder resting against the upper crossbar via the fastening device and against the lower crossbar via the first connecting element.

[0061] In one embodiment, the distance between the first support leg and the first connecting element is adjustable by means of a fifth adjustment device, particularly within a range of 2 cm to 15 cm. A second position of the first connecting element along a longitudinal extension of the transverse element of the parapet bracket can be set using the fifth adjustment device. Additionally or alternatively, a third position of the first support leg along a longitudinal extension of the transverse element can be set using the fifth adjustment device. Thus, the parapet bracket is advantageously adaptable to a transverse extension of the upper edge of the parapet. The bracket can therefore be advantageously adapted to a variety of parapet designs.

[0062] A support element may be additionally or alternatively arranged at the bearing area of ​​the bracket and / or at the first connecting element. The support element has, in particular, a horizontal element projecting from the first connecting element in the opposite direction to the bearing area, with a length of 5 cm to 20 cm, and a contact area arranged thereon, in particular oriented parallel to the first connecting element, with a length of 5 cm to 20 cm. The width of the support element corresponds, in particular, to the width of the first support leg. The support element may be arranged on the floor side and / or on the ceiling side of the first connecting element and / or the bearing area.

[0063] In one embodiment, the support element can be used as an alternative to the first support leg for realizing the parapet holder as a fastening device, thus advantageously increasing the adjustment range to up to 30 cm.

[0064] In the operating position of the holder on a parapet, the holder is supported against the parapet by the fastening device and the contact area of ​​the support element. Thus, the holder, through the interaction of at least a portion of the cross element and at least a portion of the first support leg and / or at least a portion of the support element, rests against the parapet. The distance between the first connecting element and the contact area of ​​the support element can be adjusted using the fourth adjustment device. Therefore, by using a support element, it is advantageously possible to position the container at a distance from the parapet.

[0065] In one embodiment, the fastening device is a slotted rail by means of which the holder is attached to an eyelet using a locking device. The eyelet is, in particular, fixed to a ceiling. Thus, the slotted rail fastening device allows the holder to be mounted on a ceiling and therefore suspended. The rail is arranged to project from the first connecting element, particularly in the direction of the container. This advantageously optimizes the force transmission to the eyelet, as it is positioned essentially vertically above the holder's center of gravity. Positioning the center of gravity below the mounting point advantageously optimizes the stabilization of the holder in its operating position.

[0066] Alternatively, the holder can be attached to an eyelet fixed to a ceiling using the slot and a threaded bolt with a nut. This advantageously allows for positioning and locking the holder to the eyelet while maintaining a center of gravity, thus ensuring that the container remains straight and / or that force is optimally transferred.

[0067] The first, second, third, fourth, and / or fifth adjusting device can be a slotted rail, also called an elongated slot, and a corresponding slide with a threaded screw, by means of which a position of the slide on the rail can be temporarily fixed. Additionally or alternatively, a nut, in particular a wing nut, can be used to secure the threaded screw.

[0068] In another embodiment, the support area has recesses. These recesses can advantageously facilitate the drainage of fluids, in particular excess irrigation water and / or rainwater.

[0069] The holder according to the invention and / or an element of the holder can be configured to guide an irrigation device. In particular, the locking hook can have a groove by means of which a fluid can be dispensed into the container and / or a fluid guide by means of which a fluid can be dispensed into the container. In this way, it is advantageously possible to supply a fluid to a plant arranged in the container at a predefined position using the holder according to the invention.

[0070] To position the container on the hook, the size of the support area can be adjusted to the size of the container in one step. In a further step, the securing hook can first be positioned to maximize the distance between the hook and the support area, so that the container can then be easily placed on the support area. After the container is positioned, the securing hook can then be moved towards the upper edge of the container rim until at least part of the hook touches or nearly touches the rim. Finally, the securing hook can be locked in this position. Positioning the container on the hook can be done before or after the hook is positioned at the installation location.To remove a container attached to a hook, all or part of the aforementioned steps can be performed in reverse order.

[0071] The problem is solved according to a second aspect by means of a mounting set, which in particular comprises a first mounting set and a second mounting set according to the invention, wherein the first mounting set forms a first support and the second mounting set forms a second support for a container, in particular a box-shaped container. In this way, the secure positioning of the box-shaped container is achieved using the mounting set. Advantageously, the first mounting set and / or the second mounting set can alternatively be used to position a flowerpot.

[0072] The characteristics and advantages of the subject of the second aspect correspond to those of the first-mentioned aspect.

[0073] The invention will now be explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments. These will show... Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a first flowerpot holder in a first adjustment position, Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the first flowerpot holder in a second adjustment position, Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the first flowerpot holder with a flowerpot attached to it, Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a second flowerpot holder, Figure 5 is a schematic representation of a third holder, Figure 6 is a schematic representation of a balustrade with a third holder attached to it, Figure 7 is a schematic representation of a balustrade with a first flowerpot holder attached to it, and Figure 8 is a schematic representation of a balcony with a second flowerpot holder attached to a ceiling.

[0074] A first flowerpot holder 101a comprises a balustrade holder 113a, a vertical connecting element 107 arranged on the balustrade holder 113a, and a base 106 with a receiving surface 105 and a first holder 115 and a second holder 117 arranged thereon, wherein the base 106 is arranged at an end facing the floor on the vertical connecting element 107 in an extension direction A. The first flowerpot holder 101a is designed for mounting a flowerpot 103, held by the first flowerpot holder 101a, on a balcony balustrade 131.

[0075] The parapet bracket 113a is oriented opposite to the projection direction A and has a parapet support 125 and a first support leg 127. The distance between the first support leg 127 and the vertical connecting element 107 is adjustable along the parapet support 125 and can be locked by means of a second locking screw 121f.

[0076] The vertical connecting element 107 is designed in two parts and comprises a guide rail 107a and a slide 107b slidably mounted thereon. The position of the slide 107b relative to the guide rail 107a is adjustable by means of a first threaded bolt 123b and a wing nut (not shown) that can be attached to the rear of the bolt. A storm hook 109 is arranged on the guide rail 107a. The storm hook 109 is slidable along the guide rail 107a and can be locked by means of a first locking screw 123a.

[0077] The first holder 115 has a first section extending into the holder 115 and designed as a guide rail, and a first leg 119 projecting towards the ceiling. The position of the first leg 119 relative to the receiving surface 105 can be adjusted by sliding the guide rail relative to the receiving surface 105 and locked in place by means of a second threaded bolt 123c and a wing nut (not shown) that can be attached to it. The second holder 117 is designed in the same way as the first holder 115. Thus, the position of the second leg 121 relative to the receiving surface 105 can be locked in place by means of a third threaded bolt 123d and a wing nut (not shown) that can be attached to it.In addition to the first holder 115 and the second holder 117, the receiving surface 105 has a guide element 137 with a fourth threaded bolt 123e and a corresponding wing nut (not shown), by means of which the distance of the receiving surface 105 to the vertical connecting element 107 can be adjusted.

[0078] In one embodiment of the first flower pot holder 101a, a support element 133 oriented vertically to the vertical connecting element 107 is arranged on the receiving surface 105 ( Fig. 2 ).

[0079] The size of the receiving surface 105 can be adjusted to the size of the base of the flowerpot 103 by adjusting the first holder 115, the second holder 117, and the guide element 137. The size of the receiving surface 105 can be adjusted before or after the flowerpot 103 is positioned on it. The adjustment can be made manually by a user, or, in an alternative embodiment, automatically. After the flowerpot 103 is positioned on the receiving surface 105, the height of the storm hook 109 can be adjusted, in particular so that it corresponds to the height of the flowerpot 103 and the storm hook 109 is positioned close to an edge of the flowerpot 103, at least partially enclosing it.The positioning of the storm hook 109 can be done manually and, in an alternative embodiment, automatically.

[0080] A second flowerpot holder 101b has a two-part vertical connecting element 107 with a storm hook 109 attached to it, and a receiving surface 105 with a first holder 115, a second holder 117, and a guide element 137, which are arranged and interact in the same way as in the first flowerpot holder 101a.
