Description

The invention relates to a device for supporting tall bushes and plants, the device consisting of two parts on a special support post to be used next to the "" plant is attached.

Attempts have already been made to make devices; for. Support of tall bushes and plants to be developed, but they do not meet the demands made on a use for such protective purposes must be provided to find the device.

There has been proposed a device for supporting tall-stemmed plants in which A support cage is arranged displaceably on a pipe to be inserted into the ground next to the plant stem is. The device is formed with a number of parallel rings extending through Cross bars are connected to each other. The disadvantage here is that the support cage consists of one part exists and contains only a very narrow lower passage for the shrub. The device must therefore Due to the construction, be plugged in before the plant is inserted if there is any damage the plant should be avoided. It is impossible with more developed branches. By the great Number of rings running parallel to each other easily creates the risk of intertwining of the plant, whereby it is damaged and a smooth harvesting is difficult.

In a known device, individual rings are provided as a holder, which oscillate on a support rod are suspended, This unstable fastening of the support rings does not guarantee a secure hold for the plant. However, this can cause damage when exposed to wind.

In another known device for supporting ornamental and useful shrubs, the branches of the Shrub above the ring holder. The shrub is neither protected against wind nor the branches can support themselves when they are laden with fruit. In addition, by the nature of the device conditionally, the shrub grow crooked into the ring holder, as the shrub trunk is eccentric stands for support. The trunk would also buckle over time, as there is no holder is to prevent the shrub crown from sagging. _ Further proposed devices consist of a support ring for the branches so that the plant stem does not receive any support.

These disadvantages are eliminated in the holding device according to the invention in that the expediently expanding upward device from a lower, approximately the thickness of the to be enclosed Tribal, divisible ring and an upper, corresponding to the shrub crown.

divisible ring. Due to the narrow design of the lower ring, the load is transferred to the

ao shrub crown over the lower approaches of the branches on the device, the trunk is relieved of all load, and it cannot bend or break. The upper support ring of the device holds the branches in the required position. The device can be adjusted in height at any time using the locking device on the support pole. An example for carrying out the invention is shown in the drawing, namely

Figure 1 is a side view with details,

Figure 2 is a plan view with details of the device according to the invention.

The bracket consists of the support post h, to which the extension of f _{t is} pressed by the wing nut b _± (Fig. 2) via the flat iron k.

On Z ₁ , the radially extending struts g _{i are} attached to the half ring f. The two washers d (Fig. 1) and the threaded bolts α are welded to the ends of the ring /. The half-ring e _t grasps over Z ₁ and is rotated upwards with the struts g and the Halbring e until the slotted disc c of the half-ring e encompasses the bolt a , the wing nut b engages and can be tightened. The flat iron i, which is welded with e , guarantees strength for the lower support ring.

To achieve additional strength, a flat iron I is welded to the extension of f _{x and} lies against the support pile h.

The arrangement of a two-part device allows the device to be used at any time without the plant damage, take off or put on. It can also be done retrospectively in plants that are already well developed be attached. Stainless material is not necessary as maintenance is carried out at all times can. If the device for tall ornamental

When using shrubs, it can be removed in the fall and stored to make the bushes to lay down and protect from frost damage. The device can also be used on low shrubs to prevent the branches from being laid down on the earth.
