Patent ID: 7024818

Claim:
An oversized planter container assembly, the oversized planter container assembly comprising in combination: an oversized planter container, the oversized planter container comprising a container bottom, a container rim, and a substantially uniformly sloped inner container surface, the inner container surface extending from the container bottom to the container rim, the inner container surface having a select container periphery intermediate the container bottom and the container rim; a soil support platform, the soil support platform comprising a substantially planar superior support surface, a substantially planar inferior support surface, a peripheral support ridge, a plurality of support ribs, and a plurality of matter-receiving apertures, the peripheral support ridge comprising a sloped peripheral support surface and a peripheral support rim, the peripheral support surface being intermediate the superior support surface and the peripheral support rim, the peripheral support surface having a spacer-engaging depth, the support ribs being integrally formed to the inferior support surface and substantially equally spaced from one another, the matter-receiving apertures being spaced intermediate the support ribs and extending from the superior support surface to the inferior support surface; and a support spacer member, the support spacer member comprising a substantially planar superior spacer surface, a substantially planar inferior spacer surface, a sloped inner peripheral surface, a sloped outer peripheral surface, a horizontal spacer thickness, and a platform support ridge, the superior spacer surface being substantially parallel with the inferior spacer surface, the inner peripheral surface being concentric within the outer peripheral surface, the platform support ridge being integrally formed to the inner peripheral surface extending medially adjacent the inferior spacer surface, the inner peripheral surface having a platform-engaging depth, the outer peripheral surface being in removably wedged engagement with the select container periphery, the peripheral support surface being in removably wedged engagement with the inner peripheral surface, the peripheral support rim being in removably seated engagement with the platform support ridge, the spacer-engaging depth coinciding with the platform-engaging depth such that the superior support surface is substantially coplanar with the superior spacer surface, the soil support platform and the support spacer member thus forming a substantially planar false bottom in the oversized planter container at the select container periphery.
