Abstract Honeycomb lawn plates for seeding surfaces have honeycombed chambers open at the top and hexagonal in cross-section. So that peripheral chamber walls do not really contact one another, peripherally open chambers are provided on the plate edges, the cross-section of which is less than the cross-section of the hexagonal chambers. So that stable plate edges are obtained, the cross-section of the peripherally open chambers is, at maximum, half as large as the cross-section of the hexagonal chambers. In addition, peripherally closed chambers are located between the peripherally open chambers. On opposite plate edges, the change from peripherally open chambers to peripherally closed chambers alternates, as a result of which the peripherally open chambers are sealed by the peripheral chamber walls of the peripherally closed chambers of the adjacent plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A honeycomb lawn plate for seeding surfaces comprising peripherally closed chambers having an open top and a hexagonal cross-section, and peripherally open chambers on at least two opposite plate edges, the maximum cross-section of the peripherally open chambers being half as large as the cross-section of the peripherally closed chambers, wherein the peripherally closed chambers are located between peripherally open chambers, the peripheral walls of the peripherally closed chambers are located at a distance from at least one of the opposite plate edges, and the sequence of peripherally closed chambers and peripherally open chambers alternates on the opposite plate edges so that a zigzag channel is obtained between adjacent plates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A honeycomb lawn plate for seeding surfaces comprising peripherally closed chambers having an open top and a hexagonal cross-section, and peripherally open chambers on at least two opposite plate edges, the maximum cross-section of the peripherally open chambers being half as large as the cross-section of the peripherally closed chambers, wherein the peripherally closed chambers are located between peripherally open chambers, the peripheral walls of the peripherally closed chambers are located at a distance from at least one of the opposite plate edges, and the sequence of peripherally closed chambers and peripherally open chambers alternates on the opposite plate edges so that a zigzag channel is obtained between adjacent plates.
