BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a landscaper trellis that has a unique shape and integrated lights and ornate plant hangers.

B. Prior Art

The Adams Patent (U.S. Pat. No. 6,857,247) discloses a coupling element which can be composed of lattice and assembled to support plants.

The Avery Patent Application Publication (U.S. Pub. No. 2004/0093792) discloses a system for supporting plants which is composed of lattice.

The Smith Patent (U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,050) discloses a hanger which includes a bracket with forward and rearward panels, and a connecting panel connecting the upper ends of the forward and rearward panels, to support a bracket on a lattice.

The Droll Patent (U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,688) discloses a plant pot holder which is supported by a lattice type structure.

The Burkart et al. Patent (U.S. Pat. No. 6,722,637) discloses a synthetic fence post with a solar light attachment that can be fastened to another existing fence post or the like.

The Herbst et al. Patent (U.S. Pat. No. Des. 366,532) illustrates a design for lattice work.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a landscaper trellis that would feature basket hangers and a solar light incorporated into its design. The trellis would measure roughly 8 feet long and 8 feet high. The curved framework would consist of two lattice panels stretching between three support poles, and be made of a material comprising treated lumber, durable plastic, or a metal. The invention provides an attractive setting with the ability to hold planters, and provide lighting when necessary anywhere without requiring an electrical source.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

Detailed reference will now be made to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.

An invention 10 is comprised of two front posts 15 having an ornate ball 16 or a solar-powered light 18 atop of each post. Attached near the top of each of the front post 15 is a plant hanger 19 that extends outward from the invention 10. The invention 10 also involves a plurality of rear posts or a single rear post 17, and wherein said rear post may have a solar-powered light 18 atop said rear post 17. Attached to the front posts 15 and the rear post 17 is a plurality of sheets of lattice 20. The lattice 20 is connected to rear post 17 by a fastening means comprising nails, screws, bolts, welding, or glue. The left and right sides of the lattice 20 are connected to the respective front post 15 by a support piece 22. The support piece 22 connects to the lattice 20 and front post 15 by a fastener comprising nails, bolts, wood screws, welding, or glue. A top support piece 23 runs the length of the top side of the lattice 20, and attaches to the front posts 15 and rear post 17. The top support piece 23 connects to the lattice 20, front posts 15, and rear posts 17, by a fastener comprising nails, bolts, wood screws, welding, or glue.

The lattice 20, front posts 15, and rear posts 17 are made of materials comprising wood, plastic, or metal. The invention 10 is constructed with a curvature that ranges from zero degrees to 180 degrees.
