This specification describes a novel apparatus and method of manufacture wherein a corrugated fiberglass trough is sealed between matching end walls, consisting of stand and plug members which have sealing surfaces which match the contour of the fiberglass trough. In this manner, the bonding strength between the above members is maximized, the cost of manufacture is minimized, and assembly is made with ease. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A planter assmebly, comprising: a single sheet of flexible corrugated fiberglass having end portions and side portions and corrugated interior and exterior surfaces, said sheet being symmetrically curved to form a generally hemispherical cross section; stand members attached to said side portions of said single sheet, said stand members being longitudinally spaced and each having generally hemispherical cutouts, the contour of said cutouts matching the exterior corrugations of said sheet; plug members attached to the end portions of said single sheet and having flat side surfaces and a top surface, a lower surface of said plug members having a contour matching the corrugations of said inner surface of said single sheet, the lower surface of each of said plug members including a continuous groove; a flexible sealing strip connected to said groove of each of said plug members and adapted to provide a seal between said single sheet and each of said plug members.
2.
The planter assembly of claim 1 further including a flat cover plate.
Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates generally to planters for both indoor and outdoor use.
More particularly, the invention is directed to such a planter of rigid and durable construction and which is adapted for rapid, easy, and economical assembly.
BACKGROUND ART There are many types of commercially available planters which include a central trough member supported at both ends, and sometimes in the center, by upstanding wall members.
These planters are normally sold as either a completely assembled unit or in a build-it-yourself package, both usually of single material construction for the major components thereof.
In either case, it is believed that the consumer cost of such items is somewhat high, and that the major component materials are not, generally speaking, characterized by a high structural integrity and durability commensurate with such high cost.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION The general purpose of this invention is to provide a new and improved alternative construction to the above type of prior art planters, with such construction being characterized by a high structural integrity, a low cost of fabrication and assembly, an improved wear and lifetime, and easy assembly
