BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an annual tree protector for individual protection of forest crops, particularly suitable for protecting terminal shoots of young trees from the eye of animals.

Until now, the individual protection of forest cultures against game biting is done by coating or spraying terminal shoots with repulsive chemicals, so-called repellents. Home made jams are also used for this purpose or sprouts are sprinkled with different fibers. Nowhere are the terminal shoots wrapped in protective sleeves or wire spirals, etc.

The disadvantage of chemical repellents is that they do not have the same repulsive effect on all animals. Also, if the same repellent has been used for several consecutive years, the game is getting used to it and, with a few exceptions, in some locations, it bites the protected shoots. The protection of shoots by repellents must be carried out after the end of the growing season, in frost-free and dry weather. There is relatively little time to do this in the mountainous areas above. Some repellents are inutnuo diluted with water before application and also heated, as they solidify in the cold. The consequence of this is an increased consumption of the repellent, which does not even benefit the thermal buds. The odor and chemical composition of repellents cause various diseases in some workers. It is usually dislike of eating, inflammation of the mucous membrane, eventually eczema on the skin, etc.

The required amount of repellent is conditioned by the type of seedlings and their clasp. It is also laborious to transfer the required amount of spray substances instead of treating large areas of forest. Last but not least, the applied repellents are flushed with rain and thus get into and contaminate watercourses. When using mechanical protective equipment such as packaging, wire spirals, etc., it is usually necessary to remove them before starting vegetation in order not to hinder growth.

These deficiencies are eliminated by the tree protector according to the invention. The protector is designed as a sleeve, which is provided with a handle for handling. The central opening of the sleeve is bridged by two resilient parallel arms forming a slot, the opposing walls of which are provided with sawtooth protrusions bent in the direction of entry into the sleeve. In parallel to the axis of the sleeve, barbs are formed around its outer periphery and catches are formed on both sides when entering the sleeve to cross each other and lock the sleeve when it is slid onto the terminal shoot.

The protection of young trees with a tree protector can be done after the height gain. The protector does not interfere with spring sprouting, and therefore it is left to the seedling until the end of next summer, when it moves to a new terminal pupe in a suitable period of time. Protectors can be applied even in cold and otherwise unfavorable weather. At. no respirator or protective clothing is required. No disease of workers. These protectors can also protect the root necks of the plantings from the beasts of the wild rabbits.

The attached drawing shows the tree protector in axonometric view.

The tree protector is designed as a sleeve 1, which is provided with a handle 2. The central opening 3 of the sleeve 1 is bridged by two parallel spring arms 4, 5 forming a slot 6 between them. In parallel to the axis of the sleeve 1, spikes 9 are formed on its outer circumference. On both sides at the entrance 8 to the sleeve 1, catches 10, 11 are formed to cross each other and lock the sleeve 1 after sliding it onto the terminal sprout. direction of the arrow at the inlet 8 into the sleeve 1.

It is advantageous to protect the shoots by producing a spring molded plastic of the required flexibility.
