  • Patent number: 7610717
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flower pot (1) made of deep drawn plastic material and provided for a hanging flower pot wherein a suspension part (2) comprises a plurality of strands (5) that are linked via hook clips (3) with the pot rim (4) that has an outer continuous contour. The aim of the invention is to provide a flower pot that, in accordance with the special technical conditions during the deep drawing, is provided with a fixation of the seat (7) of the hook clips (3), while maintaining a good distribution of suspension loads between the pot and the hook clips and safeguarding an appealing yet easy to handle shape. To achieve this aim, the pot rim (4) has tapered sections extending inwards towards a wall contiguous with the bottom. These tapered sections form a seat (7) for the hook clips (3).

  • Publication number: 20070227067
    Abstract: A container made of plastic, in particular a deep-drawn plant pot, includes a top container edge that is oriented primarily horizontally, adjacent to which is at least one container wall that is oriented primarily downward. The container wall has at least one slot that matches the container edge for a tag that is provided with a shank. The slot has two slot edges that are offset vertically from each other, whereby the slot edge that is offset from the container wall is lower than the slot edge that is adjacent to the container wall. Good retention and firm seating of the tag is realized, even with increasingly thinner-walled containers and narrower container edges.

  • Patent number: 7204056
    Abstract: A stackable deep-drawn plastic container has an at least slightly conical wall and a bottom connected to the conical wall. The wall has a rim area remote from the bottom. The rim area has a first ledge and a second ledge located below the first ledge. It also has an intermediate support area having a first end connected to the first ledge and a second end connected to the second ledge. A stacking spacing of the deep-drawn plastic container when stacked in a stack is determined by the first and second ledges. The first and second ledges in a plan view onto the rim area overlap at least partially. The intermediate support area has a first width at the first ledge that is smaller than a width at the second ledge. The intermediate support area has a wave shape at least at one of the first and second ends.
