  • Patent number: 7735259
    Abstract: An adjustable plant stake assembly having cross braces, stake anchors and couplers is provided that can be used with conventional plant stakes. The cross braces extend between two adjacent plant stakes and are adjustable in length to adjust the spacing between the stakes. The stake anchors support the stakes and include a step portion that enables the anchor to be driven into the ground by stepping on the step. As the plant grows in height, each plant stake can be lengthened by connecting an additional plant stake to the top of the existing stake using one of the couplers. A kit including the plant stakes, cross braces, stake anchors and couplers is also included.

  • Publication number: 20090229180
    Abstract: A rotatable plant stand having a trivet assembly and a saucer that is mountable thereon. The trivet assembly includes upper and lower trivet plates joined by an annular plate bearing turntable that provides rotational movement of the upper trivet plate relative to the lower trivet plate. The trivet assembly and the saucer are engaged by a centering and retaining mechanism that can secure the bottom of at least two differently sized saucers onto the trivet assembly so as to prevent sideways movement that might otherwise cause the saucer to slide off the trivet assembly, such as when being rotated.
