Description

Support guide for horticulture.

The horticultural support guide consists of an invention that facilitates the work of the farmers / horticulturists whether they operate in the open or in the open they do it in the enclosed spaces that modern people seek greenhouses It is about putting the reach of the farmer, for simple, immediate and orderly use, a set of elements that, under normal conditions, they are essential to proceed to guided climbing plants, all with the purpose of increasing the performance of this type of operations that, by themselves, are slow and painful and much more if the weather conditions or Climate is adverse. The invention also offers the advantage of the reuse of the elements in successive crops.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention, as expressed in the introduction, is to make available to the farmer, country people or horticultural lovers, a device whose purpose is to facilitate the work of entutorado that normally they are common in plantations of climbing plants, such as tomato, green beans, beans, peas, etc. what do you need, for its correct and orderly growth, of guides that guide the stem as it develops upward according to the positive phototropic effect. Although it is not essential, it is very It is advisable to use certain plant species to keep erect, to prevent the fruits from touching the ground and to facilitate the harvest.

Taking into account the rigor of the work of the field by themselves and with greater reason if they are carried out in adverse weather conditions such as, full sun, in the rain, cold or windy, or elevated greenhouse indoor temperatures, It is understood that it is important to perform this type of operations favoring comfort and speed, having within reach necessary elements, thus avoiding comings and goings to places of collection. Also in all farms or horticultural farms It is essential to increase yields for cost optimization of labor, increasingly scarce and expensive. Is well known that in modern farms are applied, every time more, procedures similar to those of production chains serial industrial.

Field of the Invention

The present invention has its effects within of the Current Needs of Life Section, Activities Rural It is related especially to the activities of horticulture and from an industrial and commercial point of view with the production and sale of accessories for agricultural activities.

Background of the invention

Agricultural activities are among the most ancient of humanity because they relate to the needs vital survival as well as those related to hunting. In some cases focus on large-scale productions for their corresponding marketing but may also be related to small farms or even hobbies Horticultural staff.

Today it is very common to plan several annual crops thanks to the possibility of establishing large covered surfaces based on installation of greenhouses with controlled atmosphere and automatic subscriber procedures and irrigation.

Therefore it is obvious to say that there are countless inventions and new ideas related to agriculture, horticulture and gardening although the field of study is so wide that it will be little less than impossible to deplete the horizon of the investigation.

There are therefore many systems on the market invented to improve the performance of operations repetitive in horticulture, the most traditional being the use of elements such as rods, sticks or metal rods whose life is relatively short as they rot or deteriorate severely After a couple of uses. In that sense the invention that described in this document decisively facilitates the operation of placement of guidance structures for plants climbers that are grown in the forms of "semi-frame" and of "enrame" as is the case with tomatoes, green bean peas etc. improving performance and providing the important advantage of the ease of installation and reuse of all guiding elements in successive crops.

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to a set integral for guiding climbing plants characterized by being intended for the formation of structures with sensitive improvement of performance in the operation of variety entutorado Fruit and vegetable growing in the forms of "semi-frame" and of "enrame".

The idea object of this invention is specified in a series of pieces that can be attached to each other that allow forming with Quickly the desired guidance structure.

The goal is to form a firm structure and stable on which plants can take hold in their process of growth for which parts are available that can dig into the ground vertically. These pieces are tubular of plastic in whose lower part, destined to dig into the land, have a kind of spear or sharp edge that facilitates Penetration into moderately or spongy soils existing in the orchards. On the opposite side of said piece there is a piece, also tubular, on whose bottom  the piece stuck in the ground is blocked by a slight turn described above and whose upper part is screwed on another "T" shaped piece on which some rods are mounted horizontal that allow to expand the structure as much as want, adding other identical horizontal rods.

As will be seen in the figures included in this document and in the subsequent description of an embodiment preferred, the elements of this invention allow forming opencast structures or inside greenhouses so long as the gardener needs being able to put the pieces that are they dig into the ground, upright or slightly inclined one over another forming much more stable "V" supports and resistant, with the great advantage that, at the end of the season, Once the fruits are collected, you can easily disassemble the structure and save your items until the following season.

It is, therefore, a solution that implies inventive novelty from the point of view of performance improvement in the assembly of the guiding bearing structure and in relation to its use from year to year.

Brief description of the drawings

Five figures are included for better understanding of the invention with the following meaning:

Figure 2

This figure represents the same elements defined in figure 1 but arranged in such a way that the way in which some pieces fit together is easily intuited to the immediately adjacent.

Figure 3

This figure shows the detail "m" of the previous figure with the corresponding extension to be able to appreciate the operation of the adjustment body (1.3) with your part blocking thanks to eccentric coupling (1.4). Enlargement of detail "n" shows the relative position of (1.3) with respect to a (2) that allows a free introduction of the part (1.3) in the inside of the piece (2). The turn from one respect to another as it shown on the right represents the locked position.

Figure 4

This figure is the representation of a possible assembly with the coupling of the different elementary pieces. The existence of two supports with their bodies is observed intermediate (1.2) substantially vertical, with their corresponding  spears (1.1) stuck in the ground, their intermediate bodies (1.3) introduced in the transition pieces (2), in turn connected to splice parts (3) that receive two horizontal rods (4) linked together. It is understood that this support structure can be extended according to the needs that arise in each case particular.

Figure 5

Here is another possibility of assembly of the structure in a much more stable way with the bodies intermediate (1.2) forming a "V" and horizontal rods (4) linked together and supported by the corresponding pieces of splice (3). Also in this case it is understood that they can be formed structures as long as desired.

Description of a preferred embodiment

Support guide for horticulture (Figs. 1 to 5) consisting of the grouping of a series of elementary pieces which, as a whole, are intended to serve as a point of support to climbing plants in their natural growth process according to the phototropic effect that, in a form of preferred embodiment by the inventor consists of elements basically tubular verticals with an intermediate body (1.2) whose lower part has a sharp spear-shaped area (1.1) to facilitate driving in carved land more or less fluffy, and in its upper part it has an adjustment body (1.3) with eccentric coupling (1.4), capable of being introduced in a transition piece (2), tubular, internal diameter slightly larger than the external diameter of the adjustment body (1.3) and of the intermediate body (1.2).

The transition piece (2) has in its part high a threaded stud that allows crimping in an area also threaded, as a nut, existing in the lower part of another "T" shaped piece called a splice piece (3) that serves as support for a horizontal rod (4) that can be inserted by the upper hollow branch of the splice piece (3).

This set of elements, chosen in the suitable number, can be grouped to form structures Longitudinal in orchards or inside greenhouses, either as indicated in Fig. 4 or as depicted in Fig. 5.

As particularities of the coupling of pieces to form these structures to support climbing plants the following may be mentioned in the preferred embodiment by the inventor:

-

In First, the body coupling system is characteristic  intermediate (1.2) on the transition piece (2) as depicted in Fig. 3 in which it is observed that the upper part of the intermediate body (1.2) ends in the so-called adjustment body (1.3) that can rotate with respect to the previous one on the coupling eccentric (1.4). This allows the insertion of the adjustment body  (1.3) of the intermediate body (1.2) inside the workpiece transition (2) and apply a slight twist of the intermediate body (1.2) with respect to the transition piece (2), the blocking of one over another thanks to the existence of eccentric coupling (1.4) of the adjustment body (1.3) on the intermediate body (1.2).

This property, in addition to giving greater strength to the structure, allows horizontal leveling of the rods (4) when the intermediate bodies (1.2), with their spears (1.1), are nailed on the floor.

-

In secondly it should be clarified that the horizontal rods (4) are inserted into the splice pieces (3) with a soft adjustment as well both pieces are sized. However blocking is possible from one over the other thanks to the threaded stud of the piece transition (2) press, by turning it, to the rod (4) against the splice piece (3).

The different pieces are preferably Tubular with slightly rough outer surface and section in the shape of a circular crown and are made of plastic material as polyethylene or similar, which gives all the elements a long service life that allows them to be used in crops of successive years.

On the other hand its price is very affordable and, at no additional elements required, assembly of structures Guiding is done with high yields.

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description for a subject matter expert can understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and implement the object of the same. However, it should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, whereby It may be subject to change without affecting or suppose any alteration of the basis of said invention. Is say, the terms in which this description has been exposed preferred of the invention, should always be taken with character Broad and not limiting.
