Abstract

Nested planters are provided. The nested planters include a body having a base assembly and a depending sidewall, the body defining a substantially enclosed space. The base assembly includes a generally horizontal planar member and a stand-off feature. The stand-off feature is structured to extend downwardly from the planar member. A substantial portion of the body sidewall is structured to correspond to the body sidewall of another nesting planter when two nesting planters are nested.

Claims (52)

1 . A nesting planter comprising:

a body having a base assembly and a depending sidewall, said body defining a substantially enclosed space;

said base assembly including a generally horizontal planar member and a stand-off feature;

said stand-off feature structured to extend downwardly from said planar member;

wherein a substantial portion of said body sidewall is structured to correspond to the body sidewall of another nesting planter when two nesting planters are nested.

2 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein said stand-off feature is structured to be directly coupled to the base assembly of an adjacent nesting planter.

3 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein said sidewall includes a corresponding portion and a narrowly corresponding portion.

4 . The nesting planter of claim 3 wherein said body sidewall narrowly corresponding portion is at an angle of between about 7 and 11 relative to a planar member central vertical axis.

5 . The nesting planter of claim 4 wherein said body sidewall narrowly corresponding portion is at an angle of about 9 relative to a planar member central vertical axis.

6 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein:

said body sidewall includes an upper end and a lower end;

said body sidewall tapers from said upper end to said lower end;

said body sidewall upper end being a flared upper end; and

said body sidewall upper end structured to be disposed immediately adjacent another planter's body sidewall upper end when the other planter is nesting in said body.

7 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein:

said sidewall includes an upper end and a lower end;

said sidewall tapers from said upper end to said lower end;

said sidewall upper end being a rolled upper end; and

said sidewall upper end structured to be disposed immediately adjacent another planter's body sidewall upper end when the other planter is nesting in said body.

8 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein said body has no passages therethrough.

9 . The nesting planter of claim 1 wherein said stand-off feature includes at least one pedestal.

10 . The nesting planter of claim 9 wherein said at least one pedestal is unitary with said base assembly.

11 . The nesting planter of claim 9 wherein:

said stand-off feature includes a basin, said basin including a base member and a depending sidewall; and

said basin base member having at least one pedestal coupling component, said base member at least one pedestal coupling component structured to be coupled to said at least one pedestal.

12 . The nesting planter of claim 9 wherein:

said at least one pedestal has an upper end and a lower end; and

said at least one pedestal includes a passage extending between said at least one pedestal upper end and said at least one pedestal lower end.

13 . A nesting planter comprising:

a body having a base assembly and a depending sidewall, said body defining a substantially enclosed space;

said base assembly including a generally horizontal planar member and a stand-off feature;

said stand-off feature structured to extend downwardly from said planar member;

wherein a substantial portion of said body sidewall is structured to narrowly correspond to the body sidewall of another nesting planter when two nesting planters are nested.

14 . The nesting planter of claim 13 wherein said stand-off feature is structured to be directly coupled to the base assembly of an adjacent nesting planter.

15 . The nesting planter of claim 13 wherein:

said body sidewall includes an upper end and a lower end;

said body sidewall tapers from said upper end to said lower end;

said body sidewall upper end being a flared upper end; and

said body sidewall upper end structured to be disposed immediately adjacent another planter's body sidewall upper end when the other planter is nesting in said body.

16 . The nesting planter of claim 13 wherein:

said sidewall includes an upper end and a lower end;

said sidewall tapers from said upper end to said lower end;

said sidewall upper end being a rolled upper end; and

said sidewall upper end structured to be disposed immediately adjacent another planter's body sidewall upper end when the other planter is nesting in said body.

17 . The nesting planter of claim 13 wherein said body has no passages therethrough.

18 . The nesting planter of claim 13 wherein said stand-off feature includes at least one pedestal.

19 . The nesting planter of claim 18 wherein:

said stand-off feature includes a basin, said basin including a base member and a depending sidewall; and

said basin base member having at least one pedestal coupling component, said base member at least one pedestal coupling component structured to be coupled to said at least one pedestal.

20 . The nesting planter of claim 18 wherein:

said at least one pedestal has an upper end and a lower end; and

said at least one pedestal includes a passage extending between said at least one pedestal upper end and said at least one pedestal lower end.
