    Holder for agricultural products
    The present invention relates to a holder for agricultural products, in particular plant or flower bulbs. The invention further relates to a box-shaped holder for agricultural products and a method for arranging agricultural products in a holder.
    To make plant bulbs bloom, it is known to place these plant bulbs in a container, for example a tray or grid, and to place these bulbs above or partially in a body of water. The so-called water scalding of these flower bulbs makes efficient cultivation of, for example, flowers or other agricultural products possible.
    The known holders are often provided with sticks on which the plant bulbs are punctured. These skewers can be arranged in a closed container, wherein water is provided in that container for drawing the agricultural products into flower. Alternatively, the skewers may be mounted on a framework, the framework being arranged above a body of water.
    It is a disadvantage of these known holders with skewers that they damage the flower bulbs somewhat, which is particularly disastrous for hyacinths, for example. Moreover, these existing containers have the disadvantage that the application of the plant bulbs to the skewers must be done meticulously in order to prevent damage to the heart of those bulbs, which can lead to failure of those bulbs.
    It is therefore an object, in addition to other objects, of the present invention to at least partially solve at least one of these problems mentioned above.
    This object, in addition to other objects, is solved according to the invention by a container according to the appended claim 1. More specifically, this object is solved, in addition to other objects, by a container for agricultural products, in particular plant bulbs, comprising a support structure and with respect to of the supporting construction movable clamping members for holding the products, wherein the clamping members are adapted to align the products in a vertical direction relative to the supporting construction. With the holder according to the invention, the products are engaged by clamping members movable relative to a support structure. Fixing bulbs using, for example, skewers is then no longer necessary. Moreover, the movable clamping members provide a good vertical alignment, so that the distance between the plant bulbs, in particular the undersides thereof, and the water body to be provided thereunder is more or less constant. This results in improved cultivation.
    It is to be noted that the term vertical as used in this application refers to a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the plane, for example an upper and / or lower face, of the container which is preferably substantially rectangular. This vertical direction is then perpendicular to the length and width direction of the holder.
    According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping members comprise a plurality of mutually substantially parallel strips of flexible material. The flexible nature of these strips prevents damage to the bulbs, while moreover providing a good clamping effect. Suitable materials for the flexible, elastic strip-shaped clamping members are low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), propylene-based elastomers such as Vistamax ™ (from ExxonMobil Chemical).
    The support structure is preferably made of a stiffer material that provides sufficient rigidity of the structure and can for instance be made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). For good support of the clamping members, it is advantageous if the clamping members are connected to the supporting structure. The holder then forms one whole as a supporting structure with the clamping members arranged thereon movable relative to said supporting structure.
    However, it is also possible that the clamping members and the supporting structure are made of the same material and integrally formed. The support structure then preferably has thicker walls for providing sufficient rigidity, while the wall thickness of the clamping members is sufficiently small to provide sufficient flexibility for clamping the products.
    An efficient holder is obtained if a strip-shaped clamping member is connected along its longitudinal direction to the support structure such that at least one side edge of a strip is movable in the vertical direction. It is possible here for a strip-shaped clamping member to be connected along the entire longitudinal direction. However, it is also possible that a strip is connected to the support structure at different locations along that longitudinal direction. Preferably, viewed in the width direction or in a cross-section transversely to the longitudinal direction, a strip-shaped clamping member is connected to the support structure at a distance from the at least one moving side edge. That distance is then so large that that side edge can move sufficiently relative to the support structure for efficiently clamping the products.
    An efficient clamping and connection is obtained if a strip near a first side edge is connected to the support structure and wherein the second side edge of that strip is movable. Alternatively, a strip in the middle, viewed in the width direction, can be connected to the support structure, wherein both side edges are movable.
    The clamping members are preferably formed by the strip-shaped clamping members, which extend substantially parallel to each other. The strip-shaped clamping members preferably form a substantially closed surface for laying the products thereon. However, it is advantageous here if a space is provided between two adjacent strip-shaped clamping members. The agricultural products are then aligned with the gap between the two strips when being placed and the products are preferably laid on the head on those strips when they are applied such that the top of a sphere protrudes through that gap.
    It is advantageous here if the bearing construction comprises pairs of strips with movable side edges directed towards each other for holding products. When placing the products on those clamping members, those clamping members will bend somewhat and thus more or less fix the products. The material of the clamping members is preferably sufficiently rigid here to make it possible for the clamping members to carry the products without bending to such an extent that the products fall between the two strips or touch a surface.
    A further improved alignment of the products, and with that an efficient placement, on the holder is obtained if the strips in a pair are at an angle to the horizontal with each other, viewed in the width direction of those strips. The two strips, viewed in that width direction, or in a longitudinal cross-section, are V-shaped with respect to each other, the gap between the two strips being located at the base of that V. This makes an efficient alignment of the products possible, since if a product is placed somewhat wrongly on the holder, the sloping course of the strips ensure an alignment of the products in a line which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped clamping members.
    The clamping members are preferably formed by strip-shaped clamping members, or provided with continuous side edges, but it is also possible, for a better alignment of the engagement with the individual products, that the strips comprise a plurality of strip parts movable relative to each other, each of these strip parts, at least one free side wall thereof, is movable in vertical direction. Such a clamping member can for instance be formed by making a plurality of incisions in a strip, wherein a strip part is formed between each of these incisions that is more or less freely movable relative to the adjacent strip parts. This makes it possible to use a relatively stiff material, since the vertical movement of these clamping members is essentially made possible by the mutual movement of the strip parts.
    As an alternative to providing the flexible strip-shaped clamping member with sufficient rigidity, the strip can be provided with reinforcements. These reinforcements can for instance be arranged on or in the strip and extend in the width direction at different locations in the longitudinal direction. These reinforcements can be made of a stiffer plastic, so that they provide sufficient rigidity for holding the products on those clamping members during a first placement, as described above.
    In order to enable a more efficient placement of the products on the clamping members, it is advantageous according to a further preferred embodiment if the supporting construction comprises at least one support for supporting on a substrate, the support being adapted to be spaced apart in a supported condition. keep the holder away from the substrate such that products laid on the clamping members and the clamping members are kept at a distance from the substrate. When the products will be laid on the flexible strips, in particular the free ends of those strips will bend under the weight of the products. The support then provides a sufficient distance between those strips in the hung-over state and a base on which that holder is placed.
    When applying the products, the holder with the support is placed on a surface, whereafter the products are laid on the strips extending parallel. In this case, it is advantageous if the strips, in the supported state, run towards one another in the width direction towards the side edges in a pair of strips as described above. Two adjacent strips form a V-shaped trough, so to speak, so that a good alignment is provided in a direction that is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strips.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, the bearing construction comprises a framework of bearing strips which extend substantially parallel to each other, the strip-shaped clamping members being arranged on the bearing strips. The support structure can for instance comprise an outer edge in the form of a frame, between which the support strips extend. The strip-shaped clamping members are then arranged on these carrier strips, these strip-shaped clamping members preferably forming a substantially closed surface for laying the products thereon.
    It is advantageous here, in particular if the holder is provided with a support, as mentioned above, when the strip-shaped clamping members are arranged on or near an edge of the supporting strips, wherein in the supported state the carrying strips and the strip-shaped clamping members provide a space for receiving the products. In the supported state, the strip-shaped clamping members are preferably connected to the lower edge of the carrier strips, so that the carrier strips project upwards with respect to the clamping members. The bearing strips here form substantially parallel side walls of a space which is at least partially closed off at the bottom by the strip-shaped clamping members. The carrier strips can herein serve as lateral guidance of the products and the distance between two carrier strips is preferably determined by the largest dimensions of the agricultural products to be held.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, the bearing construction is provided with connecting means which are adapted to cooperate with connecting means of a second holder for placing the holder at a predetermined height in said second holder. The connecting means can for instance comprise snap-fitting connecting means, wherein a pin arranged on the first part can snap-fit into a hole provided for this purpose in the other part. Preferably, a plurality of connecting means is provided for stably connecting the holder to a second holder.
    It is hereby advantageous if the connecting means are adapted to connect to the second holder in the vertical direction, wherein the products are clamped between the second holder and the clamping members. When arranging the second holder, the products will be pushed in vertical direction with respect to the support structure by said second holder, which movement is made possible by the movable clamping members. The products located on said clamping members will only move when engaged with said second holder, so that efficient alignment is provided. The products are therefore preferably clamped between the second holder and the clamping members such that the products, in particular the sides of those products facing the second holder, are vertically aligned with respect to that second holder. Any variation in the dimensions of the spheres is hereby compensated in the vertical direction by the clamping members movable relative to the support structure.
    In this clamped state the flexible, or elastic, clamping members will exert a clamping force in the vertical direction directed towards the second holder, so that the products are held firmly. This clamping force is preferably so great, or the stiffness of the clamping members is so great that they can counteract any upward force due to root growth of the bulbs and limit the plant bulbs in the vertical direction. In addition to the restriction in the vertical direction as described above, by bending in particular the free side edges of the strip-shaped clamping members, a restriction in a direction transverse to that vertical direction will also be provided. The strip-shaped clamping members will conform to the products received and, due to the elastic effect, will also have a fixing effect in the width and length direction.
    The invention further relates to a combination of a second holder with a holder according to the invention arranged therein. Such a combination is particularly suitable for use in water scaling of plant bulbs, since the products are well aligned vertically. To that end, the second container preferably comprises a container for holding water therein. It is furthermore advantageous here if the second holder is provided with ribs for receiving agricultural products thereon, wherein the ribs are preferably aligned with the clamping members in the connected state. These ribs can for instance be arranged on the bottom of a trough, the ribs being in contact with the agricultural products in a clamped state. The space between the ribs can then be used for root growth. For good alignment, it is advantageous if the ribs and the support strips of the support structure extend parallel and offset from each other.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, the basin comprises an overflow for draining water from the basin. The overflow can be chosen such as to provide a predetermined water level in the tray depending on the bulbs to be heated. It is advantageous here if the overflow is at a height above the bottom that is greater than the height of the ribs. The bulbs will be somewhat under water.
    However, as noted above, the invention is not limited to a closed container, but the second container can also be open and be formed by ribs interconnected with a suitable framework.
    The invention furthermore relates to a tray, in particular a second holder as mentioned above, wherein the tray is adapted to receive a holder for agricultural products according to the invention, the tray being provided with cooperating with the connecting means of the holder connecting means for mutually connecting the container to the container such that the products held in the container are vertically aligned with respect to the container, in particular the bottom thereof.
    The invention furthermore relates to a method for placing agricultural products in a holder, comprising the steps of: - providing a holder according to the invention; - placing the agricultural products on the clamping members; - connecting the holder to a second holder, wherein during connecting the agricultural products are moved in vertical direction against the clamping members such that in the connected state of the holder and the second holder, the sides of the agricultural products facing the second holder are aligned vertically with respect to the second holder.
    According to the invention, in a first step, the agricultural products are placed on the clamping members of a holder, wherein said clamping members can sag somewhat due to the weight of the agricultural products. As described above, said strips are preferably arranged in pairs in the holder, a product lying on two of said strips. In a next step, wherein the holder is preferably completely filled with agricultural products, wherein the products are preferably arranged in rows on the holder, in particular always between the carrier strips as described above, in a subsequent step the holder is connected to a second holder. When connecting the second holder, the agricultural products located on the clamping members will be forced in the direction of said clamping members, such that they move with it. The agricultural products are hereby aligned with the second holder.
    It is advantageous here if the agricultural products are placed upside down on the clamping members, the method further comprising the step of turning over the combination of the holder and the second holder. The products are hereby laid down with the ends from which the flower will come, in particular in the opening between two strips, so that the plant or flower can grow between those two strips. When the second holder is arranged, and the bulbs are clamped in the vertical direction, the combination, or the holder connected to the second holder, can be turned over, such that the bulbs are upright again for the bulbs to bloom. Bulbs drawn in bloom can then be easily removed from the holder by pulling on them. The clamping members are sufficiently flexible for this purpose so that they yield for the removal of the bulbs. The carrier strips can herein function as separating means for separating the roots from the root ball in the second container.
    The invention will be further elucidated with reference to figures shown in the drawing, which show preferred embodiments of the holder according to the invention, in which: - Figure 1 shows a holder according to the invention in perspective; Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a container according to the invention; - Figures 3-5 show diagrammatically in cross-section the arrangement of flower bulbs in the holder and the tray; Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the container with holder and flower bulbs; Figure 7 schematically shows an alternative form of the clamping strips from Figure 1 in perspective.
    Figure 1 schematically shows a holder 1 in which flower bulbs 3 can be arranged, see for example figure 3. The holder 1 is provided with an outer edge 10 with a long side 10a in the longitudinal direction L and a short edge 10b in the width direction B. Supporting strips 11 are arranged between the long side edges 10a and extend in the width direction of the holder 1. At an edge 11a of said supporting strips 11, see also figure 3, clamping strips 12 are provided. The strips 12 are connected with one side edge 12b to the carrier strips 11, while the other side edge 12a can move in the vertical direction, indicated by Z in Figure 3 and Figure 1, due to the flexible nature of the clamping strip 12. See in particular Figure 4 wherein the side edge 12a has been moved slightly due to the sphere 3 as will be discussed in more detail below.
    The clamping strips 12 are arranged in pairs of two supporting strips 11 located next to each other, the clamping strips 12 in an unloaded state, see figure 1 and figure 3, being angled with each other, seen in cross-section as is visible in figure 3. This oblique course ensures that the spheres 3 deposited on the clamping strips 12 are aligned on or along a line indicated by the axis A in Figure 3, which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strips 12. In Figure 1, that longitudinal direction is parallel on the width direction B of the holder 1. The distance L1 between two carrier strips 11 is determined by the largest dimension of the products to be held 3. As is visible, for example, in Figure 3, there is still some space between the side walls of the sphere for this sphere 3 3 and the carrier strips 11.
    For arranging the bulbs in the holder 1, the holder 1 is turned over with respect to the position as shown in figure 1. This position is shown in figures 3 and 4. To ensure that the products and the clamping strips 12 support the substrate do not touch when placing the holder 1 on the head, the holder 1 is provided near the corners with supports 13 for keeping in particular a suitable distance from the ground, in particular the strips 12. At the ends of said supports 13 are projections 13a which can be snapped into correspondingly shaped openings of a tray 4 which will be discussed in more detail below.
    The spaces between two carrier strips 11 and two carrier strips 12 sloping downwards form a receptacle 15 for a sphere 3. As stated, the oblique course of the clamping strips 12 will align the product in the middle of said receptacles 15. It is also visible that the bulb 3 is arranged on the head in the holder 1, the top 3A of the bulb protruding through an opening 12C between two strips 12.
    The strips 12 are of such a rigid material that they will not fully bend under the weight of the sphere 3, but that said sphere 3 lies firmly and stably on said strips 12. As can be seen in figure 3, a lower edge 3B of the sphere is located 3 is at a distance H from the side edge 11b opposite the side edge 11a to which the strips 12 are arranged. In the condition as shown in figures 3 and 4, that is the top edge 1 lb.
    The different products 3 which are arranged in the holder 1 can have different dimensions and thus protrude with different heights H above that lower edge 11b, or wherein the lower edges 11b are at different positions with respect to the holder 1. In order to provide a good alignment, the holder 1 will be connected to a tray 4 which is shown in figure 2.
    The tray is provided with a bottom 41 with perpendicular to it long side walls 42a and short side walls 42b. Ribs 43 are arranged in the width direction B, wherein water passages 44 are arranged in the ribs 43 which allow water to flow over the longitudinal direction L of the container 4. The container is moreover provided with overflows 45 which are located at a height above the height of the ribs 43, as will be explained later. The container 4 is furthermore provided with holes 46 which cooperate with the projections 13a such that the container 1 can be arranged at a predetermined height in the container 4. In that state, the protrusions 13a are in the holes 46.
    In order to align the products 3, in particular the undersides 3b thereof, with the container 1, and in particular with the container 4, the container 4 is arranged on the container 1. A rib 43 of the container is shown schematically in figure 3 and will be moved towards the products 3 in a direction indicated by Zx. Upon engagement with the sphere 3, the sphere 3 will move downwards in a direction Zx, which is visible in Figure 4. The flexible clamping strips 12 will deform due to their flexible nature and form towards the sphere 3. Since the tray 4 and the holder 1 are provided with cooperating connecting means in the form of protrusions 13A and holes 46, the mutual position of the tray 4, and with it the ribs 43, relative to the strips 11 is determined. This position is shown in Figure 4. In this position a sphere 3 is clamped by the trough 4, by the ribs 43, the carrier strips 11 and the clamping strips 12. In this position the assembly of the trough 4 and the holder 1 can be turned over wherein the ribs 43 prevent the balls 3 from falling back again.
    This position is shown in Figure 6, in which it is furthermore visible that the strips 12 have formed towards the placed spheres 3 and are deformed locally. This provides a good clamping connection of the bulbs so that the bulbs are enclosed in addition to a limitation in the vertical direction Z, also in the width direction B and the length direction L. This position is shown in cross-section in figure 5. In this figure it is visible that the undersides 3b of each of the spheres 3 lie on the top of the ribs 43 so that they are aligned at a height H2 relative to the bottom 41. Possible deviations in the sizes of the spheres 3 are here compensated for by the flexible nature of the strips 12. In the middle of the figure the strips 12D are once again shown in the non-deformed state for reference, so that it is clear that the strips 12 form to the shape of the spheres 3. Water W is also visible in this figure, the water level Wj of which is shown. This water level Wj is determined by the overflows 45. In this example, the undersides 3B of the spheres 3 are located below the water level Wj.
    In this state, the bulbs 3 will be brought to fruition and the bulbs 3 will develop roots that will grow in the space between the ribs 43. The growth of the roots can push the bulbs 3 in a direction indicated by Zi in Figure 5. However, the elastic nature of the strips 12 will counteract these upward forces, so that the spheres 3 will be held stably in the vertical plane. However, the strips 12 are also sufficiently flexible to make it possible to pull the bulbs 32 that have been brought to fruition, schematically indicated by 33 in Figure 5, in a direction Zx from the combination of the container 4 with the container 1 when sufficient force is obtained. is exerted that is greater than the driving force of root growth.
    In general, the container 1 in combination with the second container designed as a container 4 has the advantage that the initial placement of the bulbs 3 in the container 1, as shown in Fig. 3, is not very critical in terms of placement since the bulbs 3 will be automatically aligned. This allows, for example, a mechanical placement of the spheres 3 in a holder 1. The carrier strips 11 can in this case serve as lateral separating means and guide means between which the spheres 3 can be arranged. In the width direction B, the spheres can simply be laid against each other. This placement is also not very critical and can therefore be carried out better by machine.
    The holder 1 shown in this example is provided with continuous strips 12. However, this is not necessary as shown in Figure 7. In this example, the strips 12 are provided with incisions 122 so that individual strip parts 121 are formed. These strip parts 121 can be made more rigid than the strips 12 of, for example, figure 1, since the mutual movement is made possible by those incisions 122. Alternatively, it is even possible to arrange separate strip parts 121 on the carrier strips 11.
    The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown here, but also extends to variants that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
    The invention will be further elucidated with reference to the following preferred embodiments:
