Plant tray, assembly of a tray and at least one plant pot, method for assembling an assembly, and method for handling plant pots

摘要

The invention relates to a plant tray (1) for holding plant pots (3). The tray comprises one or more multiple plant pot compartments (2), wherein each compartment is arranged for receiving a plant pot. Said compartment has one or more side wall segments (4) for at least partly enclosing at least a lower portion (5) of an outer wall (7) of a plant pot. Further, the compartment is provided with one or more eccentric protruding supporting surfaces (6) for supporting an eccentric portion of a bottom of a plant pot only. The compartment is arranged such that a bottom of a plant pot which has an outer wall substantially corresponding with the one or more side wall segments of said compartment, will, when said plant pot is inserted into said compartment in an inserting direction (8) in which a central axis (9) of the compartment is substantially aligned with a central axis (10) of said plant pot, abut the one or more eccentric protruding supporting surfaces, thereby obstructing said bottom locally and subsequently facilitating misalignment of the pot with respect to the compartment when a force is applied to the pot, preferably a force applied at least partly in a downward direction and/or a direction directed inward the compartment, especially a force applied substantially in the insertion direction and/or in the longitudinal direction of the pot and/or compartment.
