Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a stem support used in cultivating fruits, particularly melons.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of stem support has been made entirely of plate-like material, including the part that supports the fruit stem, and has a ball or knot at the tip for hanging the stem support. The formed suspension string is suspended from a wire stretched between the supports, inserted from below into a narrow guide groove with the lower end of the stem support open, and positioned in the small hole for attachment formed at the upper end. The structure was such that

However, since the important part that supports the fruit stem is also formed of plate-like materials, the stem is supported over a considerable length and area in a state of surface contact.
Not only is there a risk of rotting the stems due to constant contact with the moisture, but as the stems grow, the stems may be damaged due to resistance from surface contact areas, which causes a decline in the quality of cultivated fruits. It had become so.

In addition, due to wind and flood damage or because the fruits have grown relatively large, the supports on which many fruits are hung may fall down, resulting in stem supports falling to the ground and being scattered. The tension of the string becomes loose and it moves from the small anchoring hole to the narrow guide groove, and in order to raise the strut, the hanging string often moves toward the open part and separates from the narrow guide groove. However, a large number of stem supports were lost, and it was extremely time-consuming to properly support the fruit and return it to its suspended state.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The problem to be solved is that conventional cultivation hanging devices affect the growth of fruits and stems, such as rotting and damaging the stems, and the hanging strings easily come off.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention consists of a vertically long substrate, a vertical groove with an open bottom end located in the center of the substrate, a series of cut grooves formed diagonally downward on both sides near the top of the vertical groove, and a substrate. It consists of legs that hang down in parallel on both sides of the body, and locking bodies that have a circular cross section and are bent in a hook shape in parallel below the legs in the same direction.

It is also preferable that the distal ends of the locking bodies are expanded in directions opposite to each other.

[Effect]

The stem support device is suspended from a stretched wire, etc., with a hanging string with a ball or knot formed at the tip positioned at the top of the vertical groove, and is designed to prevent damage caused by falling of the support. Even if a situation arises in which the hanging cord moves through the vertical groove, it encounters the notched groove in the process of movement, and the hanging cord enters the notched groove.

Further, since the locking body that supports the stem is formed with a circular cross section, the stem is supported in a point or line contact state where the contact portion is extremely small.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 is a vertically long board, with the lower end open in the center 2
A vertical groove 3 is formed. Reference numeral 4 denotes a series of notch grooves formed diagonally downward on both sides near the upper end of the vertical groove 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a reinforcing member formed along both sides of the back side of the substrate 1; A leg body 6 is formed by extending and hanging down. Reference numeral 7 denotes a locking body having a circular cross section, which is formed by bending the lower part of the leg 6 toward the surface of the substrate 1 in a hook shape, and its tips are formed to expand in directions opposite to each other. 8 is leg 6
A spacer 9 is a suspension string having a spherical tip, and 10 is a wire.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, this invention has a series of diagonally downward cut grooves formed on both sides near the upper end of the vertical groove formed on the board with the lower end open. Even if a situation arises in which the hanging cord moves through the vertical groove, in the process of movement, it encounters the notched groove, the hanging cord enters the notched groove, and the hanging cord separates from the open part and the support device The risk of loss is significantly reduced, and the fruit can be returned to its normal supporting and hanging state very easily.

Moreover, since the locking body that supports the stem has a circular cross-section, the stem can be supported with extremely small point or line contact, and it is possible to maintain a dry state at all times and eliminate the risk of stem rot. Of course, as they grow, they are not subjected to any resistance or damage from the locking bodies, and can be allowed to grow smoothly.

In addition, since the tips of the locking bodies are expanded in directions opposite to each other, when placing the stem supported by positioning the fruiting part between two fingers, it is difficult to use the fingers. Even if the distance between the stems is narrow, it is guided to the outside of the locking body and widened, and the placement of the stem is completed in this state, so there is no chance of your fingers getting stuck in the locking body, making it extremely efficient. You can work on it.
