Abstract

The present invention relates to a plant support system (100), comprising at least a first stake (1a) and a second stake (1b) for supporting at least one plant (27) thereto, as well as a releasable connecting element (3a) for connecting the two stakes (1a, 1b) to each other, wherein the connecting element (3a) is movable along the first stake (1a) and/or along the second stake (1b), so that at least one of the two stakes (1a, 1b) may be adapted to a plant growth.

Claims

1. A plant support system comprising at least a first stake and a second stake for supporting at least one plant thereon, as well as a connecting element for releasably connecting the two stakes to each other, wherein the connecting element is movable along the first stake and along the second stake.

2. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the connecting element comprises a clamping system for fastening, in particular releasably, the stakes to the connecting element in a force closure and/or form-fit connection.

3. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the connecting element surrounds the at least two stakes each completely at least in sections thereof and may be fastened by a clamping system.

4. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the connecting element comprises two disc-shaped elements, each of which correspondingly reflects at least partially the outer profile of the stakes on its inner side or has a receptacle thereto.

5. The plant support system according to claim 4, wherein the connecting element comprises two identical disc-shaped elements.

6. The plant support system according to claim 4, wherein each inner side of the disc-shaped elements correspondingly reflects the outer profile of one of the two stakes, at least in sections.

7. The plant support system according to claim 4, wherein each of the inner sides of the disc-shaped elements correspondingly reflects the outer profile of one of the two stakes, at least partially, so that one stake may be fastened using frictional connection for a force closure between an area of the inner side and an area of a surface of a further stake, respectively.

8. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the stakes have a tubular round profile and/or a tubular rectangular profile.

9. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the stakes are made of metal or comprise metal.

10. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the connecting element is made of plastic and/or of composite material or comprises at least one of these materials.

11. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the connecting element comprises a screw-nut arrangement or a clamp for fastening the stakes by the connecting element in a force closure connection.

12. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the stakes are straight and/or bent in their longitudinal direction.

13. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the plant support system comprises at least one holding device for fastening the plant support system to a surface or a vertical surface, like a wall.

14. The plant support system according to claim 1, wherein the stakes, in particular with respect to their longitudinal direction, are steplessly alignable by the connecting element in an angle between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

15. A connecting element for releasably connecting at least a first stake and a second stake in order to assemble a plant support system for supporting at least one plant.
