DEVICE FOR GROWING PLANTS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A01G9/12 A01G31/02 A01G17/14 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, in particular, to plant growing. Device includes vertical support connected with cantilever, around which arranged along spiral, which is fixed on cantilever by means of cross-pieces. Vertical support is jointed with bracket with possibility of rotation. At that, free ends of cross piece metal band is fixed forming spiral turns downwards from cross-piece to lower part of cantilever. Metal band struts off against cantilever by height turn with horizontal rods of glass fibre. On spiral metal band crossbars are mounted with holes for attachment of optic valves, which form support, repeating band turn and cross-bar shape. By means of cross-piece only upper turn of cradles made of glass fibre is fixed, rest turns of cradles are secured on cantilever by means of braces. Depending on length of braces support can be made of different shapes like cone, barrel, cylinder with different density of turns, number of turns and height, which is determined only by height of cantilever. Support is filled with easily removable containers.

EFFECT: expanded area of growing due to angle of illumination of containers and rotation around vertical axis, besides, allows growing with high efficiency of various culture with volume of root system of not more than 2, 5 l.
