Garden pot assembly
A garden pot assembly comprising a pot having an open upper end and a separator tray snap-fitted into the open upper end of the pot. The separator tray has a plurality of spaced-apart plant pot receiving openings formed therein each of which are adapted to receive and support a plant pot therein. The bottom of the pot has a unique structure including a central hub and a plurality of radially extending stand-offs extending outwardly therefrom to the periphery of the bottom wall. The pot or container may be circular, oval, rectangular or square in shape.
1. A garden pot assembly, comprising:
a pot having a horizontally disposed circular bottom wall; said pot having a generally cylindrical lower side wall, having upper and lower ends, extending upwardly and outwardly from the periphery of said bottom wall; a ring-shaped shelf, having inner and outer ends, extending laterally outwardly from said upper end of said lower side wall; a generally cylindrical upper side wall, having upper and lower ends, extending upwardly and outwardly from said outer end of said shelf; said lower end of said upper side wall having a ring snap-in groove formed therein which extends laterally outwardly therefrom at the juncture of said upper side wall and said shelf;
a separator tray including a horizontally disposed circular top wall and an outer side wall extending downwardly from the periphery of said top wall with said outer side wall having upper and lower ends;
and a stabilizing snap-ring at said lower end of said outer side wall of said separator tray which extends laterally outwardly therefrom for selective reception in said ring snap-in groove in said lower end of said upper side wall of said pot;
said top wall of said separator tray having first, second and third spaced-apart pot receiving openings formed therein each of which are adapted to receive and support a plant pot therein.
2. The garden pot assembly of claim 1 wherein said outer side wall of said separator tray has first, second and third cut-outs formed therein which intersect said first, second and third pot openings respectively.
3. The garden pot assembly of claim 1 wherein said pot and said separator tray are comprised of a plastic material.
4. The garden pot assembly of claim 2 wherein said snap-ring has a reinforcing rib associated therewith at said cut-outs.
5. The garden pot assembly of claim 1 wherein said separator tray includes a plant pot supporting structure which extends at least partially around each of said first, second and third plant pot receiving openings, said plant pot supporting structure including a vertically disposed first wall portion, having upper and lower ends, which extends downwardly from said top wall of said separator tray, a horizontally disposed ledge extending laterally outwardly from said lower end of said first wall portion, a vertically disposed second wall portion, having upper and lower ends, extending downwardly from said outer end of said ledge, and a horizontally extending lip extending laterally outwardly from said lower end of said second wall portion.
6. The garden pot assembly of claim 1 wherein a centrally disposed hub extends upwardly from said bottom wall of said pot and wherein a plurality of elongated, radially spaced-apart stand-offs extend horizontally outwardly from said hub to the periphery of said bottom wall.
7. The garden pot assembly of claim 6 wherein each of said stand-offs has an upper end which dwells in a plane below the upper end of said hub.
8. A garden pot assembly, comprising:
a container having a horizontally disposed bottom wall; said container having a lower side wall, having upper and lower ends, extending upwardly and outwardly from the periphery of said bottom wall; a shelf, having inner and outer ends, extending laterally outwardly from said upper end of said lower side wall; an upper side wall having upper and lower ends, extending upwardly and outwardly from said outer end of said shelf; said lower end of said upper side wall having a ring snap-in groove formed therein which extends outwardly therefrom at the juncture of said upper side wall and said shelf;
a separator tray including a horizontally disposed top wall and an outer side wall extending downwardly from the periphery of said top wall with said outer side wall having upper and lower ends;
and a stabilizing snap-ring at said lower end of said outer side wall of said separator tray which extends laterally outwardly therefrom for selective reception in said ring snap-in groove in said lower end of said upper side wall of said container;
said top wall of said separator tray having first, second and third spaced-apart plant pot receiving openings formed therein each of which are adapted to receive and support a plant pot therein.
9. The garden pot assembly of claim 8 wherein said container and said separator tray are oval shaped in plan view.
10. The garden pot assembly of claim 8 wherein said container and said separator tray are square-shaped in plan view.
11. The garden pot assembly of claim 8 wherein said container and said separator tray are rectangular in plan view.
12. The garden pot assembly of claim 8 wherein said plant pot receiving openings have different diameters.
