Abstract (en)

[origin: US4859510A] A description is given of artificial vegatation or plants or parts for the same in the form of lawns or trees and branches covered with leaves or needles, or alternatively ice or snow. Such vegetation or plants are used in the design of landscape accessories for model railways, architectural models, trick and fairytale films and the like. The plants for the green areas or the leaves of the foliage are fixed by gluing with a regular or irregular density distribution to a net-like fibrous union, which is firmly or removably placed on the branches of a tree or bush, or on a large-area substrate. The leaves of a tree are advantageously formed from several fibrous union portions provided on the edges with cut open net meshes. It is important for this design that the foliage is shaped from suitable flat material in symmetrically repeating manner so as to simulate the natural shapes of foliage.
