The invention relates to a wire bracket for training the vine on individual stakes, if necessary using a crimped wire. Instead of the wire, equally usable material, For example, plastic, find use, insofar under the collective name of wire should be agreed.

A large number of systems for grapevine fastening or training are known from which most commonly either the wire system or the single pole training are used.

In the case of the wire system, they are at a reasonable distance (mostly at the lower and upper limit of the vineyard or vineyard or a terrace) two main posts with anchoring to compensate for tension rammed in. The space in between is filled with lighter piles. All piles are through Wires connected, the number of which varies according to the respective upbringing, attached next to or on top of each other. The vine wood is attached to the wires.

Furthermore, based on the wire training described, so-called stand or frame trellises, partially formed like a grid, became known. You are supposed to have a multiplied possibility to the festive tendrils of the vines.

While the wire system is mainly used in flat vineyards or vineyards prevailed on small gradients, it remained in the steep slopes, for example on the Moselle, Saar and Rhine, with the older upbringing by stakes; each vine has its own stake.

Despite all the modernization and rationalization in viticulture, this age-old upbringing has never been suppressed has been and will remain in the future, because weighty reasons speak for them:

a) Wire systems are almost impossible on very steep slopes or only with a very high one Create expense;

b) by raising stakes it is possible to use even the smallest patch of suitable soil, so z. B. rocky outcrops, which are often the best wine due to intense sunlight bring;

c) The stakes are made by the winemaker from the company's own material during times of low work. They also set up their own workers, because, in contrast to the wire system, they belong no special knowledge about it.

The post, mostly made of wood, is either made of wood of thicker dimensions by splitting extracted, or poles such as thinning products are chosen.

has been named as the inventor

In addition to the wooden post, a concrete post, possibly with a side arm, is also known. However, its use is less common, as the production costs are higher than with the wooden pole. In-house production is also largely ruled out because special material is required. In addition comes the difficulty of transport, especially on steep slopes, because the concrete pile is heavy Has.

When comparing concrete and wooden piles in terms of service life, what makes the choice of the seems to speak first, is largely offset by the difficulties outlined.

A single pole education has already become known, in which wire brackets are arranged on the individual pole are, where the wire hanger consists of a support part and a band that is intended to To surround the branches of the plant with the support part attached to the stake and at least two arms owns, which are supported on the pole and whose free ends hold the tape. The support part is attached to the Post clamped so that machine-machined posts are used, and the wire of the support part, which is positively connected to the pile and has teeth to reinforce the clamping effect, must be of resilient, i.e. good steel quality. As a result of the resulting high costs and the uncertainty of the clamp fastening, which loosens with even a slight load, could this Idea does not prevail.

It has also become known to have a machined single post with two height-adjustable

In the following the invention on the basis of an embodiment with HiKe of drawings described in more detail. The drawings represent in

Fig. 1 shows a previously common post,

5 shows the wire bracket arranged on the post.

The single pile 1 is made of any material, preferably in-house material, and in the usual way Way rammed. As already said, raising him demands a lot of hard work. Of the Concrete pile 2 is often equipped with a side arm 3

does not make sense, because it would be at least as much tacking work as with the single pole or the wire system necessary, but without achieving the advantages of these two classic forms of education.

According to the state of the art, the trend in many wine-growing areas is still towards wooden stakes. The aim of the invention is to improve it. To create a device that takes advantage of wire-mountable disks and between the disks, to place elastic elements under internal tension, to which the plant parts are then attached. This arrangement is also complex and therefore could not prevail. In wine education if she hadn't even reduced the stapling work.

Finally, a trellis for horticulture, fruit growing and viticulture has become known that consists of two Rows spanning the culture with pairs of rods made of corrugated wire Arched, gable or polygonal cross brackets provided and only with the help of one at the apex attacking tension wire is connected in rows. This trellis will

for climbing plants, such as beans in particular or 15, with a wire connection 4 more tomatoes, used. One use for wine is set points for securing the vine.

The wire hanger according to the invention consists of an acute-angled triangle, the legs 5 and 6 start from an eyelet 7 and end in connection with a crossbar 8. The wire hanger can made of corrugated wire or similar material, such as plastic. Both legs are the same length. The side lengths and the scaffolding height are determined by the average pile height and by

upbringing and that of a concrete pole on the wooden 25 the type of vine upbringing of the vineyard in which the pile expands without a replacement to be used in the bracket according to the invention. the Weinberg existing piles would be necessary or eyelet 7 is formed by bending and turning. she the piling or upbringing would be disturbed corresponds to the average thickness of the piles at the top is the technical task. End. The crossbar 8 made of light metal or other

The described object is achieved in that 30 rem, equivalent material is with the Schenein Wire stirrups for cultivating the vines on individual no 5 and 6 by flanging or a similar piling, if necessary permanently connected using corrugated kendes method. Through the Wire, is such that it has approximately the shape of one of the two legs as a support, which is here by the acute-angled, Has isosceles triangle, rod 8 are held spread, the scaffolding is its The base is formed by a crossbar and the strength required to achieve the its attachment to the stake on the one hand in the middle of the vine with harvest-ready fruits To hold and carry cross brace, on the other hand, on the opposite side of the brace, lying tip takes place. In the cross bar 8 is in the middle part with advantage

In this way, a borehole 9 is provided that is easy to attach to the pile. Here she can go through one of the single element created that fasten the vine 40 nail to the stake. The length of the there is a good unfolding and holding possibility, cross bar 8, which is the lower width of the wire hanger

determined, is chosen so that if there is a good chance of tendrils of the vines, the line width for the respective Education is not so narrowed that cultivation, such as soil work, pest control etc., a disability could occur.

To give the tendrils additional support, a vertically movable guide ring 10 can be placed over the wire bracket be pushed. The extension of this

The diameter of the posts to be expected depends on the 50 brackets and thus the location of their seat on the speaks. This eyelet is only removed when it is used bent and streaked over the stake. The attachment is made considerably easier by this proposal

but avoids the wind and light permeability of the wire training and the processing through the elimination of continuous wires is made considerably easier.

According to a further proposal of the invention, it is also more irregular for use in piles Shape, the vertex of the acute angle of the wire hanger turned into an eyelet, the width of which corresponds to the mitt

can be set. This is done in the simplest way by tightening or expanding the guide ring, and secured. for example screwing in or unscrewing with a

The clasp can be made from a flat light metal tool, the desired extension and thus the strip exist, which is set with the wire legs of the desired seat of the guide ring. Triangle is connected by crimping and is centered. The wire hanger according to the invention is as follows

has a bore. attached: First the guide ring 10 is attached from above

As already said, the eyelet can be slipped over the wire bracket at right angles; then the eyelet 7, Surface of the triangle be bent, and the wire 60 as shown in Fig. 4, bent by 90 °. This Bracket can hold a guide ring of elongated ring shape, bending can also be done beforehand, but in all of this Stripped over post and wire brackets and in its common only on the spot in the simplest way Expansion can be carried out by hand by upward or downward bending in order to facilitate transport is. To simplify the combination of triangle and guide ring. If necessary, the eyelet size will be practically avoids all tacking work, as the vines are bent up or down to the diameter of the times fixed on the wire hanger, set with their shoots in the post at the upper end. Now will the guide ring grow into it and held by it, the eyelet 7 stripped over the post and can be attached will. will. The crossbar 8 is now about

a nail or a staple, which penetrate the borehole 9 or encompass the crossbar, set. Now the height of the guide ring 10 can be adjusted as desired.

If the wire hanger according to the invention is attached for the first time at a time in which the vine already has tendrils, the tendrils are inserted into the wire hanger. If the wire hanger is attached, before the vine shoots, the shoots creep in independently.

The arrangement according to the invention retains the essential advantages of wire training, namely extensive support, and combines it with the advantages of single pole training, namely Wind and light permeability and free accessibility. This is, for example, through avoidance dense, closed leaf areas that keep the wind off the susceptibility to vine diseases, such as for example downy mildew, oidium and botrytis, greatly reduced. The free accessibility in which the winegrower does not always have to move perpendicular to the slope, as is the case with wire training, but can also move across the slope, makes work extremely easier also the advantage of better pest control options. By giving in the arrangement avoids a known disadvantage of the wire system. Namely, it becomes the friction reduced on the wire, which often led to chafing and breaking of the vines in the wire system. In the Arrangement according to the invention no friction, but only fluctuations caused by the entire frame can be intercepted. Finally, the tacking work makes up 20 to 25% of the total work to be completely eliminated, which is extremely important at the time of the tense labor market is.

The transport is easy because he prefabricated hangers according to the invention in bundles of 20 pieces can be transported by one man without difficulty, even on steep slopes. To the No special training is required for assembly. The assembly itself is time-independent and can be done during can be carried out extremely economically during the low-work period.

The wire hanger according to the invention can easily be removed from a post that has become unusable removed and attached to a new post. Because they are made of corrosion-resistant material its lifespan is very long.
