FR2767452A1 - Vine protection device - Google Patents

Abstract

The vine protector comprises two half shells (8a,8b) with a hinge (1) and fastened by lugs (3) fitting into slots (6). The shells are positioned around the vine by small stakes (4). In the lower part are drainage holes (5) and in the upper part are different meshes (7) following the growing height of the young vine. Cylindrical reinforcements (9) guard the plant.

Description

The object of the invention is two half-shells articulated by a hinge obtained from molding and closed by several clips, studying at a certain location and which can be stapled together to be used on another plantation.

At present there are protections of the plastic net type delivered flat, therefore constrained to the use of the upturned as a sleeve to make them regain their cylindrical shapes, therefore a long and tedious workforce; or cylindrical or square protections made of extruded cardboard and extremely brittle to the weather, which when it rains retain water, which added to the sulfation accelerates the rotting of the young plant by the foot.

The invention is shown by way of example and not limitation in the accompanying drawings: - Figure 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the protection.

- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view showing the protection and its young plant.

Figure 3 is a view of the end of the half-shell.

The device according to the invention consists of two half-shells (8a and 8b) articulated by a hinge (1), obtained by molding, which are assembled by their longitudinal end (2) and come to staple (3) in the slots (6); once stapled we come positioned around the young plant. The base is buried with a few centimeters of earth and the spikes (4) are used to anchor the protection.

The device has on its lower height 1S holes (5) are located on the circumference to let the water pass, hence good drainage so no rotting at the foot of the young plant.

The device comprises on the upper 3/4 of its height, grids (7) of different meshes, from the smallest to the largest, studying according to the height and growth of the young plant.

The following device is composed of two half-shells articulated by a hinge (1) obtained by molding used to close the two half-shells (8a and 8b). The pins (3) stapling into the slots (6), and this stapling in a few seconds saves considerable time for nurserymen and winegrowers to set up.

This protection, the following device of which is molded from semi-rigid weather-resistant plastic: -500 and + 100; which gives it a surprising longevity whose price is amortized on several planting sites.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described, and to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example. Being subject to numerous variants and explanations as a new industrial product.

The invention can also vary in shape, material, dimensions without altering the principle of the invention, the aim being to remain within the framework of the new idea which is the subject of this present patent.

Claims (1)
