A handling device includes an opening/buffering/positioning station that is equipped with an elongate core element for sleeve material to be pulled over an upstream end while automatically opening up the sleeve shape, and a holding construction that is configured to keep the core element in place while the sleeve material is pulled over and guided along it. An operable cutter is provided at a downstream end for each time cutting of a length of the sleeve material while leaving behind a new leading sleeve end portion at the downstream end. A gripping assembly is configured movable back and forth between the downstream end and a sleeve handling station for each time gripping the new leading sleeve end portion and then pulling the length of the sleeve material from the core element towards the sleeve handling station.

A multi-faceted multi-task system for horticultural adaptations including water dispersion and irrigation, animal and plant/crop protection, and plant shading, which allows a user to operate an irrigation system or a radial misting apparatus while using a tarp for shade and construct a fence to create an animal control zone. The present device features a telescoping main pole that can be adjusted to different heights to fit any situation. The device is highly portable as it can be folded up onto itself and carried to a destination by hand and provides water dispersion for irrigation and temperature control, while offering users the opportunity to construct a shade and/or animal control zone. A ball containment system for athletic activities.

A rapid deployment plant protector having a polygonal umbrella cover having closed sleeves on a first side, open sleeves on an opposing side, and connection structure for joining an edge of a first of said polygonal umbrella cover with an edge of an adjoining polygonal umbrella cover; an umbrella hub; a plurality of cover stays corresponding in number to the number of said sleeves; and a vertical support on which said umbrella hub is disposed.

A system (100) for producing a plant (35), the system having an indoor environment, a plurality of plant holders (1) for growing and transporting a plant therein, a controller (105) for at least controlling temperature and humidity in the indoor environment. The plant holder has a semi-permeable foil (20) defining a non-planar boundary of an interior space and an exterior space, a reservoir (2), having an amount of liquid for feeding the plant. The reservoir (2) and the semi-permeable foil (20) are arranged to allow the plant to grow in the interior space. The semi-permeable foil (20) has permeation of water vapor.

The present invention is a shade apparatus with central hub and shade components.

The present invention is a shade apparatus with central hub and shade components.

Disclosed embodiments provide a shading apparatus for a flowerpot. Anchors attach a shade (canopy) to the flowerpot. The shade can be adjusted to an extended position to provide shade, or a retracted position to allow direct sunlight to reach one or more plants in the flowerpot.

Provided is a fruit tree screen having a structure preventing damage to protective sheets without using eyelets to connect the protective sheets to each other. When protective sheets (20) are connected to each other using a connecting member (40), since the protective sheets (20) are connected to each other by an elastic ring body (41), when the protective sheets (20) move due to wind or the like, the elastic ring body (41) absorbs impact while being elastically expanded and contracted, and thus damage to the protective sheets (20) can be effectively prevented without coupling other members, such as eyelets, to through-holes (22). Since eyelets and the like are not coupled to the protective sheets (20), manufacturing costs can be lowered, the volume of packages can be reduced, and it is possible to promptly respond to a client demand due to simplification of the manufacturing process.
