Abstract: The indoor air bio-filter or plant-filter and all-purpose flower pots, comprises equipments/containers originally composed of a plastic material with a stable profile that is more or less in the shape of a pot, tub, bucket and/or sphere/hemisphere. The equipments/containers are largely designed according to the Japanese art of paper-folding "origami". In a design, the container has such a form that is similar to that formed by wrapping a rectangular table with an equidistantly overhanging tablecloth, with a roughly even fall or fold pattern at the four corners. The indoor air bio-filter or plant-filter and all-purpose flower pots, comprises equipments/containers originally composed of a plastic material with a stable profile that is more or less in the shape of a pot, tub, bucket and/or sphere/hemisphere. The equipments/containers are largely designed according to the Japanese art of paper-folding "origami". In a design, the container has such a form that is similar to that formed by wrapping a rectangular table with an equidistantly overhanging tablecloth, with a roughly even fall or fold pattern at the four corners. The covering cloth is composed of a plastic material that has a stable profile and possesses its primary functional position even in the inverted position. The part of the covering cloth alternatively serves as a base or platform for the container. In another design, the equipment/container is intended that the fall/fold-pattern parts at the corners are not only directed towards the outside but also evenly engulfed towards the inside, where the pattern part has a special design as the upwardly more or less round shaft ends at the four corners of the container or the platform, and represent themselves as downwardly tapering shaft structures, which is used in a better manner such as for housing of bio-filter ventilators and/or equipments and/or highly effective packings of plant or filter/secondary/filter inclusions or which is specially planted. For this purpose, the necessary sealing requirements have to be met. In a design, the lateral shafts of the main container are angled to the ground. In another design lateral shafts of the main container are at all sides towards the outside and designed in an upwardly-slanting manner in such a manner that the containers are suitably and closely packed into one another, for the purpose of which the fold/shaft regions at the corners are designed so as to be evenly aligned adjacent to one another. In the case of the alternative design of the lateral shafts, the container is bulbous at the bottom. In further designs, it is intended that the containers are designed depending on various arrangements in an angular or in a round-tipped shaft, in the latter case with evenly distributed, complementing shaft profiles and more or less with inwardly/outwardly running circular shaft structures/partial curves/ folds. In another design, the container shafts of the same are designed in such a manner with respect to one another that in the case of approximately the same container sizes, they partially complement the shaft region and inwardly envelop one another and thus form chained sets. In a design type, more or less loop-like shaft regions partially protrude inwardly and are partially directed towards the outside at the approximately oppositely-lying container, like parts of a puzzle in a partially complementing manner. In design forms, at the corner regions of the container shaft, the equipment is composed of linearly-aligned partial breaks at the lower region extending to complete breaks at the upper region and in additional designs, the equipment is partially equipped at the perforated/bored points with hanging inserts or like rivets and/or tap-equipped and contrasting strip-like structures that are aligned or inserted by a boring-like process. By means, like in the case of slots and there-in placed inserts roughly in the form of a console interspaced between one another in the shaft, the container of the equipment possesses console inserts for a secure packing together of the same. The container of the equipment consists of one or more self-complementing components. The containers are insertable and attachable components like console-like shaft-stabilizations/connecting elements. The container of the equipment consists of one, few or all of their parts. An independent claim is included for a method for manufacturing indoor air bio-filter or plant-filter and all-purpose flower pots.
