20050076562, Apr 14, 2005

Filed:

Sep 29, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/674589

Inventors:

Chen Chin Huang - San Martin CA, US

International Classification:

A01G017/06

US Classification:

047044000

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention is a maneuverable topiary frame for instant application to topiary related shrubs, trees, plants, and foliage. The embodiment allows for instant use to already existing plants thereby significantly reducing the time required for filling out the topiary frame as required of conventional topiary frames used for plants in their early stages of growth. The frame of the embodiment of the present invention is maneuverable, having extremities or extensions hinged about the frame to allow for opening and closing; and is thereby adapted to meet the needs of manipulating grown branches of mature plants or growing plants very easily within the frame to fill in extremities or extensions of the frame designs. In addition, a method of manufacturing of maneuverable topiary frames is described comprising forming rigid support pieces, separated into members; smoothly weaving a mesh framework around the support pieces; forming hinged connections to connect separated members; and permanently attaching clip mechanisms to release and secure members.
