  • Patent number: 11434049
    Abstract: A collapsible container made up of a bottom portion and a side wall that define an interior, wherein the bottom portion and the side wall are made of a foldable material, a top portion with an opening that allows access to the interior, and a rim member connectable to the top portion and sized and shaped to extend around the perimeter of the opening. The collapsible container is positionable in an open configuration where the rim member in connected to the top portion in a manner than maintains the opening in an open position. The collapsible container is also positionable in a collapsed configuration where at least a portion of the rim member is disconnected from the top portion. In one version, when in the collapsed configuration, the collapsible container takes on a substantially flat shape having a longest dimension less than the longest dimension of the opening when the collapsible container is in the open configuration.

  • Publication number: 20150047257
    Abstract: A plant container for reducing root circling and promoting air pruning comprising an open top portion, a closed bottom portion, a closed sidewall and a pair of handles woven on either side of the sidewall. The container is made of non-woven geotextile fabric for providing higher air and water permeability for effective plant growth. The fabric promotes air pruning which boosts natural apical dominance of the roots leading to additional root branching. A skeletal support is provided internally or externally to provide a rigid internal structure to the fabric. The rigid internal structure helps easy filling, irrigating, moving and maintaining of the plant container. A pair of hook and loop-type fasteners helps the plant container to remain in a collapsed position when not used. In an alternate embodiment, the sidewalls are formed by vertical skeletal supports or rings enveloped in fabric where borders are sewn together.
