TRUVDIVAAL
An Improved Stand or Support for Plant Pots and the like.
I, WILLIAM MURRAY, of "Oakwood," Wylam, in the County of Northumber-
land, Gardener, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved stand or support for plant pots and the
like, especially for use in orchid houses conservatories and exhibitions, and con-
sists of a top plate on which the pot rests and a bottom frame or base, the two
being connected by three or more legs of equal length and of any suitable form.
The top plate is flat with a comparatively large hole in the middle or a series of
holes, and if preferred the edge may be turned up all round so as to keep the
pot from slipping off. It may also be made of wire gauze or netting with or
without the edge turned up. The base is a plate or ring to which the legs are
attached in any suitable manner, or the legs may rest on the ground and be
coupled together by a wire or other suitable means. It is evident that in place
of simple legs I may use any kind of open ornamental work to connect the top
plate and bottom frame together. The whole is made of any suitable metallic
material, and may be made in one or more pieces. The object of the invention
is to provide a free circulation of air among the pots thus preventing to a great
extent fungoidal and other diseases resulting from a stagnant atmosphere.

An Improved Stand or Support for Plant Pots and the like.
I, WILLIAM MURRAY, of "Oakwood," Wylam, in the County of Northumber-
land, Gardener, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to an improved stand or support for plant pots and the
like, especially for use in orchid houses, conservatories and exhibitions, and consists
of a top plate or frame on which the pot rests and a bottom frame or base, the two
being connected by three or more legs of equal length and of any suitable form.
The top plate is flat with a comparatively large hole in the middle or a series of
holes, and if preferred the edge may be turned up all round so as to keep the from
pot
slipping off. It may also be made of a ring of wire or of a wire gauze or netting with

page_text: or without the edge turned up. The base is a plate or a ring to which the legs are
attached in any suitable manner, or the legs may rest on the ground and be
coupled together by a wire or other suitable means. It is evident that in place
of simple legs I may use any kind of open ornamental work to connect the top
plate and bottom frame together. The whole is made of any suitable metallic
material, and may be made in one or more pieces. The object of the invention
is to provide a free circulation of air among the pots thus preventing to a great
extent fungoidal and other diseases resulting from a stagnant atmosphere.
The annexed drawing shows as an example two forms of such stand each being
shown by means of a perspective view. Fig. 1 shows a stand composed wholly
of wire of sufficient stoutness, Fig. 2 shows a stand composed of two annular plates
for the top and bottom respectively connected by wire legs. A is the top frame.
B the bottom frame. CCC the legs.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A stand or support for flower pots and the like composed of a top plate or
frame and three or more legs connected at the bottom by a base or frame, the
whole substantially as herein- described and for use in the manner set forth.
