Multiple pot for raising and transplanting seedlings and method of fabricating same

摘要

The invention relates to a multiple pot comprising individual pots (26) interconnected by connector portions (27) so as to be capable of being pulled out. The connector portions are formed by applying a waterproof paste (4) discontinuously and that a water-soluble paste (19) is not applied around the edges (d, e, f, g, h, i) of the individual pots created when the multiple pot is unfolded. Hence, a coating of the paste is formed in none of these portions. The multiple pot is fabricated by continuously carrying out three steps. At the first step, the waterproof paste is applied in a given pattern while continuously pulling out two continuous thin films (1, 2). At the second step, folds (10) are formed in the resulting belt (8), and the belt is folded in a zigzag fashion. This state is maintained. At the third step, the water-soluble paste (19) is applied to the front side and the rear side of the belt alternately up to each fold. Then, the belt is folded, and pressure is applied to it to stick together the folded belts.
