(54) APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING MATERIAL OR CONTAINERS IN
WHICH PLANTS CAN BE GROWN FOR MOVEMENT ALONG A GREENHOUSE
(71) We, TROUGH TRACK LIMITED, a body corporate organised and existing under the laws of the United Kingdom, of
Hinton House, Station Road, New Milton,
Hampshire, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: - This invention relates to apparatus for supporting material or containers, in which plants can be grown, for movement along a greenhouse.
When plants are grown in greenhouses it is often desirable to grow the plants in containers, such as plant pots, or in a block of compressed material and for the plant pots or blocks to be moved relatively to each other so as to increase the spacing between adjacent pots or blocks as the size of the plants increase during growth.
Large greenhouses often have areas thereof which are treated to produce different environments and the plant pots or blocks are moved through each area successively so that at each stage in the growth of a plant it is located in an area having the desired environment for that particular stage. Moving the plant pots or blocks by hand is a laborious operation which is slow and costly.
According to the present invention there is provided apparatus for supporting material Of containers, in which plants can be grown, for movement along a greenhouse, comprising at least two spaced-apart parallel rails forming a track, a runner mounted on each rail for movement therealong and one or more elongate carrier members for supporting said material or containers, said one or more carrier members being in the form of a trough extending transversely of the rails and movable with the runners along the rails.
Preferably each runner has a length sufficient to be engaged by two or more of said carrier members and said two or more carrier members are movable relative to the respective runners in the direction of movement of the runners.
Drive means may be provided for moving the runners along the track. The drive means may comprise an endless chain or cable having drive members engageable with the runners, said chain or cable passing around a drive sprocket or drum winch.
Preferably each elongate trough-like carrier member is provided with a longitudinally extending channel in its base into which liquid for the plants can be supplied.
The runners may each be provided with balls engaged with the respective rail, and said balls may be formed of glass.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of an example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the apparatus,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the ap- paratus, showing the carrier members in cross-section, and
Figure 3 is a transverse section taken along the line 3-3 indicated on Figure 2.
The apparatus is housed in a greenhouse (not shown) which may have a number of areas which are treated differently to produce different environments. For example the temperature and humidity of the areas may vary. The apparatus has two spaced- apart parallel rails 10 forming a track.
Each rail 10 is provided on its upper end with a channel 11. Spaced apart along each rail 10 are supports 12 which comprise a member 13 fixed to the rail 10 and slidable in a tubular member 14 fixed at its lower end to a block 15 formed of concrete or steel. The member 13 is secured to the tubular member 14 by a releasable damp device 16. The supports 12 can therefore be adjusted in length so that the rails 10 can be positioned horizontal. It will be appreciated that more than two rails 10 can be provided.
Mounted on each rail 10 are runners 17, each of which is provided with a plurality of balls 18 which run in the channel 11.
The balls 18 may be formed of metal or glass or of any other suitable material.
The balls 18 will roll along the channel 11 when the runner 17 is moved along the respective rail 10. Alternatively the runners 17 may be provided with wheels or rollers which roll along the rails 10.
Extending transversely of the rails 10 are a plurality of elongate carrier members 19, each of which rests at each end on a runner 17. The length of each runner 17 is preferably such that it can support two or more carrier members 19. but it is possible for each runner 17 to have a length sufficient to support only one carrier member 19, in which case the runners 17 ma.
be fixed to the individual members 19.
Each carrier member 19 is in the form of a trough provided with a base 20 and inclined side walls 21. The side walls 21 may extend vertically instead of being inclined. The base 20 is provided with a longitudinally extending channel 22 and extending beneath the base 20 are longitudinally extending rig-like supports 23. The base 20 may be provided with strengthening ribs if desired. The base 20 may be flat. The carrier members 19 rest on the associated runners 17 and can be moved relative to the associated runners 17 in the direction of movement of the runners 17 so that the spacing between adjacent carrier members 19 supported on the same runners 17 can be adjusted. The carrier members 19 are preferably formed of plastics material but they may be formed of metal such as aluminium or may be formed of metal covered with a plastics material.
Carried by each carrier member 19 are a plurality of containers 24 in which plants can be grown. The containers 24 preferably comprise pots formed of plastics material. The containers 24 may be circular or rectangular in plan view and preferably the rim of each container 24 should extend beyond the vertical planes containing the lips of the upper edges of the two inclined side walls 21 of the carrier member 19.
This ensures that when two adjacent carrier members 19 are pushed close together with the lips of adjacent side walls 21 out of contact with each other then the rims of the containers 24 on one carrier member 19 will abut the rims of the containers 24 of the adjacent carrier member 19 and air can flow between the lips of the carrier members 19. Alternatively the plants may be grown in blocks of material which are carried bv the carrier members 19. In a further alternative the trough-like carrier members 19 may themselves contain a material in which the plants can be grown.
Drive means 25 are associated with each rail 10 for moving the runners 17 therealong. Each drive means 25 consists of an endless cable or rope 26 passing around a drive pulley or drum 27 located at one end of the rail 10 and a pulley or drum 28 located at the other end of the rail 10. Provided on the cable or rope 26 are drive members 29 which engage a respective runner 17. The drive pulley or drum 27 may be driven by a motor 30 or alternatively it may be rotated manually through a suitable manually operated drive system.
Alternatively the rope or cable 26 may be replaced by an endless chain engaged with sprockets. Suitable means (not shown) will be provided for tensioning he rope or cable 26 or chain. Alternatively the drive members 29 may engage the carrier members 19 instead of the runners 17.
The ends of the channels 22 of the carrier member 19 may be blanked-off and liquid can be supplied to the channels 22 for feeding the plants in the containers 24.
The containers 24 may rest on a layer of material placed in the trough-like containers 19 to feed liquid from the channel 22 to the containers 24 by capillary action.
In use of the apparatus, the containers 24 or blocks of material in which plants can be grown are placed on the carrier members 19 at one end of the track formed by the rails 10 and initially the adjacent carrier members 19 are placed with their adjacent side walls 21 in contact with each other so that the rows of containers 24 or blocks of material are close together and thereby occupy the minimum amount of space on the apparatus. Initially each container 24 or block may contain seed, a seedling or a bulb or corn or plant and at this end of the apparatus the environment of the greenhouse will be at a temperature and humidity suitable for the seedling or germination of the seed, bulb or corn or plant. When the containers 24 or blocks have spent a predetermined period of time in this environment they are then moved along the greenhouse to the next area having a changed environment and this is carried out either manually or by operating the drive means 25 to cause the rope or cable 26 and drive members 29 to move the runners 17 along the rails 10 and thus move the carrier members 19. As the plants grow it is necessary to increase the spacing between the rows of plants and this can be easily done by sliding the carrier members 19 relative to each other and relative to the associated runners 17 in the direction of movement of the runners 17, and by altering the spacing between adjacent runners 17.
It is of course possible for a carrier member 19 to be provided with its own runner 17 which may be an integral part of the carrier member.
The rails 10 and runners 17 may have a configuration which differs from those disclosed in the drawing.
The containers 24 may be formed of clay or plastics material or they may comprise cultivation rings.
Adjacent runners 17 on each rail 10 may be detachably interconnected one with another so that the rope of cable 26 can be engaged with one runner 17 and move a plurality of interconnected runners 17. The detachable interconnection may be variable in length in order to allow the spacing between adjacent runners 17 to be adjusted.
The carrier members 19 may be provided with two or more channels 22 which may be in the form of tubular or substantially tubular ducts formed on the base of the carrier member 19.
Each carrier member 19 may be provided with a water absorbent material layer which rests on the base 20 thereof and feeds liquid from the channel or channels 22 by capillary action. The carrier members 19 may be provided with plugged drain apertures so that a carrier member 19 can be easily drained of liquid if so desired.
It is possible for the apparatus to have two or more rows of carrier members 19, runners 17, rails 10 located one above another.
With the present apparatus it is possible to grow plants in two or more tiers. The plants grown at the lower level preferably comprise plants which require only a low level of light, such as green foliage house plants like Philodendrons.
Preferably the carrier members 19 have a width no greater than 15 inches.
The drive means 25 may be dispensed with and the runners and carriers can be manually pushed for the whole of their travel along the track, or alternatively they may be manually pushed for part of their travel along the track and moved by drive means 25 for the remainder of their travel.
