Abstract

Disclosed is a device for fastening plant parts to support elements by means of a tying means (2c). Said device comprises a rotatable shaft member (7, 7a) which is driven (8, 9, 9a, 4, 5, 6, 13) in only one direction and is provided with a gripping element (2, 2a). In order to receive and fix the initial section of the tying means (2c), the gripping element (2, 2a) is configured such that the initial section of the tying means (2c) is manually guided into the gripping element (2, 2a) and is retained once at least one loop has been formed in a contactless manner around the plant part and the support element. The initial section of the tying means (2c) is intertwined and/or tied together with the endless tying means by turning the shaft element (7, 7a), no tensile strength being generated in the loop, and consequently no stress being created to plant parts or support elements, during intertwining and/or tying. The inventive fastening device also comprises means (12) for separating the single or the last intertwined and/or tied loop from the endless tying means and holding means (1) for fastening to the member.

Description

Anbindegerät zum Anbinden von PflanzenteilenTying device for tying plant parts
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Anbindegerät gemäss dem Patentanspruch 1.The present invention relates to a connecting device according to claim 1.
Die heutigen Geräte eignen sich vor allem für das Binden von harten oder feststehenden Pflanzenteilen. Verletzliche oder biegsame Pflanzenteile werden durch der beim Verdrillen und/oder Verknoten entstehenden Zugkraft mit diesen Geräten beschädigt. Ausserdem müssen diese Geräte mit mindestens einer Hand während dem Arbeitsvorgang festgehalten werden.Today's devices are particularly suitable for binding hard or stationary plant parts. Vulnerable or flexible plant parts are damaged by the tensile force generated by twisting and / or knotting with these devices. In addition, these devices must be held with at least one hand during the work process.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt darin, dass ein Anbindegerät Bindemittel verdrillt und/oder verknotet, ohne dass während diesem Vorgang eine Zugkraft auf die Schlaufe, Pflanzenteile oder Trägermaterial entsteht. Dieses Anbindegerät kann an Körperteilen selbsttragend befestigt werden.The object of the present invention is that a binding device twists and / or knots binders without a tensile force being generated on the loop, plant parts or carrier material during this process. This connection device can be attached to body parts in a self-supporting manner.
Die Aufgabe wird durch das Anbindegerät gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the connecting device according to claim 1.
Das Anbindegerät zum Anbinden von Pflanzenteilen an Trägerelementen mit einem Bindemittel (2c) weist einen nur in eine Richtung angetriebenen (8, 9, 9a, 4, 5, 6, 13) drehbaren Achskörper (7, 7a), mit einem Greifelement (2, 2a) auf. Zum Aufnehmen und Fixieren des Anfangsbereichs des Bindemittels (2c), ist das Greifelement (2, 2a) so ausgebildet, dass der Anfangsbereich des Bindemittels (2c) nach Bildung mindestens einer um das Pflanzenteil und Trägerelement berührungslos gebildeten Schlaufe von Hand in das Greifelement (2, 2a) geführt und gehalten wird. Durch Drehen des Achskörpers (7, 7a) wird der Anfangsbereich des Bindemittels (2c) mit dem endlosen Bindemittel verdrillt und/oder verknotet. Wobei während dem Verdrillen und/oder Verknoten keine Zugkraft in der Schlaufe, und somit auch keine Belastung auf Pflanzenteile oder Trägerelemente erzeugt wird. Das Anbindegerät ist weiter mit Trennmittel (12) zum Trennen der einen oder letzten verdrillten und/oder verknoteten Schlaufe vom endlosen Bindemittel und mit Haltemittel (1) zur Befestigung am Körper ausgestattet. Durch Betätigung des Antriebs wird die Antriebsachse mit Greifelement in eine Richtung gedreht mit der zum zugfreien Binden von anzubindenden Reben, Äste, Zweige und Triebe an Trägerelemente wie Spalierdrähte. Dabei wird das als Bindedraht ausgebildete Bindemittel händisch um Pflanzenteile und/oder Trägerelemente lose umschlungen damit durch weiteres Wachstum keine Würgungen auftreten. Nach dem Umschlingen wird der Bindedraht in ein Greifelement (2, 2a) eingeführt und durch mindestens eine Drehung um die eigene Achse verdrillt und so fixiert. Das Bindemittel wird mittels Schneideelement als ausgebildetes Trennmittel abgetrennt (12).The tying device for tying plant parts to carrier elements with a binding agent (2c) has an axle body (7, 7a) which is driven in only one direction (8, 9, 9a, 4, 5, 6, 13) and has a gripping element (2, 2a). The gripping element (2, 2a) is designed to receive and fix the initial area of the binding agent (2c) in such a way that the starting area of the binding agent (2c) is formed by hand into the gripping element (2 , 2a) is guided and held. By turning the axle body (7, 7a) the initial area of the binder (2c) is twisted and / or knotted with the endless binder. Whereby during the twisting and / or knotting no tensile force in the loop, and thus no stress on plant parts or carrier elements is generated. The connecting device is further equipped with release means (12) for separating the one or last twisted and / or knotted loop from the endless binder and with retention means (1) for attachment to the body. By actuating the drive, the drive axis with the gripping element is rotated in one direction with that for tension-free binding of vines, branches, twigs and shoots to be connected to support elements such as trellis wires. The binding agent, which is designed as a binding wire, is loosely wrapped around plant parts and / or carrier elements so that no choking occurs due to further growth. After looping, the binding wire is inserted into a gripping element (2, 2a) and twisted about its own axis by at least one rotation and thus fixed. The binding agent is separated by means of a cutting element as a separating agent (12).
In den Zeichnungen sind Abbildungen von möglichen Bindegeräten dargestellt.Illustrations of possible binding devices are shown in the drawings.
Bild 01 zeigt ein Anbindegerät mit einer als Greifelement ausgebildeten Pinzette, die sich durch Vorschieben öffnet und dadurch Bindemittel aufnimmt und wieder in die Öse zurückpresst. Durch Betätigung des Hebels mit dem Daumen wird das Bindemittel verdrillt.Figure 01 shows a tying device with tweezers designed as a gripping element, which opens when pushed forward, thereby absorbing binding agents and pressing them back into the eyelet. The binder is twisted by operating the lever with your thumb.
Bild 02 zeigt ein Anbindegerät, das Bindemittel aufnimmt und durch wiederholte Betätigung des Hebels mit dem Daumen beliebig viele Umdrehungen ausführt und so das Bindemittel verdrillt. Nach dem Verdrillen kann durch Betätigung eines weiteren Hebels mit den Trennmitteln das Bindemittel durchtrennt werden. Fig. 02 shows a binding device that picks up the binding agent and, by repeatedly actuating the lever with your thumb, executes any number of revolutions, thus twisting the binding agent. After twisting, the binding agent can be severed by actuating a further lever with the separating means.
