Abstract: A wire plant cage comprises a matrix of interconnected vertical and horizontal wire members to support a plant and to accommodate plant growth. The wire plant cage has an upper ring and lower ring connected to at least one leg adapted to provide support for the wire plant cage and engage the ground. A ledge, shaped so as to permit application of a downward force by a plant cage user, is formed on each leg to facilitate ground engagement without damage to the ring-leg connections. Loops formed on the top of the legs provide a mechanism for pulling the plant cage out of the ground and handling the cage. The plant cage is shaped so as to provide support to plants growing out of the ground and to support plant containers that are placed within the plant cage interior. The present invention is shaped to facilitate the stacking of a plurality of the plant cages for storage.

Abstract: A unitary elongated member comprises bends at predetermined locations to form an upper ring and a lower ring. A vertical portion connecting the upper ring to the lower ring, orienting the upper and lower rings in a parallel, vertically spaced, horizontally disposed orientation such that the upper and lower rings are centered about a vertical axis. The lower ring has a larger diameter than the upper ring and is adapted rest on the ground or a floor. The elongated member is rigid yet sufficiently malleable to be manipulated by a user to be adjusted to support various sized plant containers. The elongated unitary member may be made of galvanized wire or plastic material resistant to rust. The rings are shaped so as to define an inner volume of the plant support to accommodate the insertion of a plant container housing a plant. The plant container is adapted rest on the upper ring so as to position the plant container above the ground.

Abstract: A crate-tray, for transporting and displaying goods that cannot be easily stacked. The crate-tray comprising a tray-deck having edges along the perimeter of the tray-deck; a plurality of tray-walls formed along the tray-deck edges; and a plurality of tabs with a corresponding plurality of hinges, the tabs incised on the tray-deck and positioned with the corresponding hinges generally along the edges of the tray-deck, the tabs capable of opening from the deck to an extended position.
