Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0592756A1] A flower pot cover, made of a material which is closed upon itself and is elastically extensible to a limited degree in the circumferential direction owing to multiple-fold deformation, consists of a water-repellent paper. The multiple-fold deformation is formed by crimping instead of by pleating.
