发明名称 PLANT SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
摘要 A base component and a plurality of plant support components interconnect in various combinations to form an organically configured, size adjustable plant support structure for a growing plant. The base component with spaced root-like stakes planted in the soil supports multiple components each having a central vertical trunk-like structure and extending limb-like and branch-like supports forming a tree-like configuration. Ties of various length soft fabric strips attach a growing plant to a molded exterior configured and colored to resemble tree bark for high friction to securely support the plant and plant produce.

主权项 1. A multiple component assembly system for an organically configured, height adjustable plant support structure for a growing plant in the configuration of a small tree with a strong root structure supporting a trunk, tree limbs, and tree branches for supporting growing plants for full support and natural organic growth of the plants, the system comprising: a plant support structure comprising a base component and a plurality of interconnecting plant support components removably attached together and to the base component to form a height adjustable organically configured plant support structure to support growing plants; the base component comprising a rigid trunk-like structure configured in a vertical position to support the plurality of plant support components, at least three arched pointed rigid support prongs rigidly connected to the trunk-like structure extending outwardly and downwardly therefrom in a spaced array around a bottom of the trunk-like structure, the at least three support prongs inserted into the ground to maintain the trunk-like structure in an upright vertical position; the plurality of plant support components each comprising an interchangeable interconnecting trunk extension to extend the height of the plant support at varying heights by adding at least one plant support component to make the plant support structure taller to support taller plants and to support a growing plant as the growing plant grows taller, or removing at least one plant support component to make the plant support structure shorter for new plants or different plants which grow to different heights, each of the plant support components having a plurality of organically configured spaced and multi-directional limb-like supports and branch-like supports extending outwardly in different directions from each of the plurality of trunk-like extensions, so that when the components are interconnected and the base prongs are inserted in the ground, the plant support structure is configured like a small tree rooted in the ground to support a growing plant and provide a plurality of directional supports and adequate space between the plurality of directional supports so that the growing plant is guided to grow in a natural configuration to allow limbs and branches of the growing plant to grow to their fullest natural growth and sufficient spacing between supports to permit unhindered growth of produce growing on the growing plant to admit maximum produce yield and minimal loss of produce; means for interconnecting the components to maintain the integrity of the plant support structure in an outdoor environment and to allow assembly and disassembly and interchangeability of the plant support components to create alternate plant support structure configurations and sizes; means for attaching portions of a growing plant to the trunk-like structures, limb-like structures, and branch-like structures of the plant support structure to support the growing plant while leaving adequate space between the growing plant and the plant support structure to permit growth of the growing plant and adequate space for produce growing on the growing plant to grow to maximum size and to be supported on the plant support structure without dropping from the plant support structure; thereby providing a multiple component assembly system for an organically configured, height adjustable plant support structure for a growing plant in the configuration of a small tree with a strong root structure supporting a trunk, tree limbs, and tree branches for supporting growing plants for full support and natural organic growth of the plants.
