Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0543746A1] Receptacle which can be used for displaying various articles, such as, in particular, potted (pot) plants. It is produced from a plane sheet (1): - having the form of a pre-cutout blank including a central zone (2), whose dimensions correspond to the base of the receptacle to be produced and, extending from this central zone (2), radiating bands (4a,4b..), separated from one another, whose total surface is at least equal to the developed surface of the volume surrounded by the said receptacle after shaping; - based on a material having a thickness and a tension (responsiveness) which are such that the lateral bands (4a,4b,4c..) are unable to deform under their own weight when they are oriented vertically or practically vertically; - shaping of the said sheet (1) is obtained by compressing it in its central part (2), which gives rise to the raising of the radiating bands (4a,4b,4c..) which are juxtaposed edge to edge, with possible covering-over, the folded bands (4a,4b..) and the flat bottom (2) being held in this position. <IMAGE>
