ABSTRACT:
A useful device in combination with a conventional type hanging plant support for quickly and easily lowering a potted plant from its uppermost hanging position for servicing and returning. The device provides a surface on which a potted plant is placed and embodies a spring powered reel below the supporting surface with three cables of suitable strength partially wound thereon extending out of and equally spaced about its perimeter to form part of the total support, thus providing means of lengthening the support as the reel unwinds and thereby lowering the plant for attention. Associated with the reel is a locking device or latch so that the suspended plant may be locked into any desired position within its total vertical movement. The assembly and locking device can be grasped and actuated at a point centrally below the support so that rectilinear vertical movement to any desired elevation is readily achieved and maintained without tilting, disturbing, or spilling the contents of the supported pot. The axis of the reel is arranged for adjustment of the spring tension to counterbalance the variable weight of the compatible pots and potting materials, also for optimum ease of displacement throughtout its total movement.
