  • Patent number: 7281352
    Abstract: A folding plant and vine supporter that has rings of different diameters which are attached to four identical vertical supports. When fully assembled, the rings are horizontal or situated perpendicular to the vertical supports. The vertical supports provide four equidistant focal points, which maintain the rings in a horizontal position. Each ring rests at a level along the vertical support. The ring with the smallest diameter is the lowermost ring or the ring closest to the ground. The ring with the largest diameter is the uppermost ring or the ring furthest away from the ground. The rings increase in diameter as the distance from the ground increases. Each ring has a ridge around the inside circumference to stabilize the plant support in the assembled position. The rings resist upward movement.
