Holding device for plants

The invention relates to a holding device for relieving or supporting trunks, branches and Branches of plants.

It is generally known to cut the trunks, branches and twigs of plants by tying them to sticks ^. Posts, trellis or To protect trellises from breaking off or kinking. These measures are particularly then required if it applies. Damage to the plants from the effects of wind or heavy fruit curtains avoid.

The disadvantage of the known holding devices is that the attachment of the plants to the posts or Scaffolding must be done by means of cords, straps or the like. However, this work is cumbersome, material and time consuming. Another disadvantage arises with vertically arranged sticks or piles, as the fastening material slips off the smooth surface and thus the holding effect is affected.

009842/0410

This disadvantage cannot be eliminated by keeping the plant very close to the holding device is tied, because this would affect the plant too much in its growth and there would have to be repeated loosening and re-tying in an even shorter period of time.

Another disadvantage is that holding devices designed as trellis or climbing frames are attached to the Connection points of the holding rods are screwed or welded.

This eliminates the need for a simple exchange of individual retaining rods or an adaptation to different ones Conditions also from.

The object of the invention is to provide a holding device for plants which the above Avoids disadvantages and a simple, cost-saving and reliable definition of plants on a pole or scaffolding and, in the case of training as a trellis or climbing frame, also an adaptation to different circumstances.

According to the invention, this is achieved in that the preferably U-shaped holding rod has one or more openings in its legs and a holding part is fastened in a form-fitting manner in at least one opening.

909842/0410

With the inventive holding device is a simple, time- and material-saving definition of the trunks, branches and twigs of plants possible without that growth is adversely affected in some way. Furthermore, trellis and Trellises thanks to the easily detachable connection between the support rod and the wall rail can be adapted to the most varied of circumstances.

The support rods can be attached vertically or horizontally directly to the wall, depending on requirements. e.g. by screws, or in connection with wall rails. But it is also possible to use the holding rod to be driven vertically into the earth as a stake.

For this purpose it is useful if the lower end is beveled at an acute angle * The holding parts can be rotated 90 degrees to fix on the holding rod, so that also different Growth directions of the plant can be taken into account. The holding parts themselves are preferred ring-shaped and on the edges of the inner wall to avoid damage of the plants rounded.

If a plant is to be attached to the holding device according to the invention, it is only necessary to guide the holding part e.g. over the trunk ^ to compress the resilient legs and push it with the protruding bars into the opening of the holding rod.

After letting go of the resilient legs, they spread apart, so that the undercut ones Engage grooves webs of the step-shaped opening of the holding rod. The holding part is thus fixed. The holding part is released in reverse order.

Further details of the holding device according to the invention for plants are shown in the drawings shown embodiments.

It shows:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holding device

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the holding device as a post

Figure 3 is a perspective partial view of the connection of the holding rod and Wall rail for a trellis or climbing frame

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the holding part

The holding device shown in Figure 1 consists of a holding rod (I) ₇ which has an essentially U-shaped cross section. At the ends of the two resilient legs (2), outwardly directed web extensions (3) are formed which are each provided with run-up bevels (4).

In the middle web of the U-shaped holding rod (l) openings (5) are provided, the circumference of which is stepped is trained. The largest width of the opening (5) corresponds approximately to the length of the protruding Web (6) of the holding part (7) shown in Figure 4, so that the holding part (7) after pressing together in the opening (5) of the holding rod (i) can be inserted. After letting go of the resilient legs of the Holding part (7), the webs (6) spread apart, so that in the undercut grooves (8) four opposing webs (9) engage the step-shaped opening (5). The contours of the Opening (5) are dimensioned so that the holding parts (7)

■. . ι ι r can be rotated 90 degrees.: · τ ·. To fasten the holding rod (1) to a wall or the like, screw holes (10) are provided at intervals.

Figure 2 shows a holding device, also consisting of a holding rod (1) with openings (5) and a Holding part (7). Since the holding device is intended for use as a post, the lower end (11) beveled at an acute angle (12). This is intended to facilitate driving the pile into the ground will.

From Figure 3, the connection of a holding rod with an angular wall rail (13) can be seen ^ as it arises in the appropriate production of a trellis or climbing frame.

909942/041

One leg of the wall rail (13) has undercut recesses (14) which snap-in with Hold rods (l) provided with openings (5) allow. To make it easier to snap on the holding rods (l), the webs (15) protruding beyond the recesses (14) on the latching surface (16) are rounded. Drilled holes (10) are provided for fastening the wall rail.

If angular wall rails (13) are used to create a trellis or climbing frame, are At least two wall rails are required to ensure a secure connection between the holding rod (l) and the wall rail (13) to reach.

According to another, not shown in the drawing Suggestion can be used instead of the angled wall rail (13) a U-shaped wall rail can also be used.

The recesses (14) are then incorporated into the two protruding legs of this wall rail.

The U-shaped wall rail can be used to create a cross-shaped trellis or climbing frame, so that a second wall rail can be omitted.

Figure 4 shows the annular holding part (7), which is open on one peripheral side and with two protruding webs (6) runs out.

/ 10 909842/0410

The webs (6) have recesses on both sides in the form of undercuts (8). This corresponds to the depth of the undercuts (8) approximately the height of the webs (9), while the width of the Undercuts (8) approximately corresponds to the wall thickness of the leg of the holding rod (l), in which the opening (5) is located. To prevent damage to the plants by the holding part (7) To avoid this, the edges (17) of the inner wall are preferably rounded.

The holding device according to the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the figures. So it is, for example definitely within the scope of the invention, the openings (5) in the retaining web (i) in another leg than attach as shown.
