Description

The present invention relates to the field of viticulture and more particularly agricultural tools used in viticulture such as towing stakes.

It is known to place on a row of vines stakes planted in regularly spaced earth, forming an alignment of supports interconnected by a series of son arranged at different heights.

The branches and stems of the vines are attached with links on the threads at different heights following the growth of the vegetation, which achieves a trellis height ensuring aeration foliage and bunches of grapes that will come on these feet , and exposure to a maximum of sun.

Moreover by aligning in the direction of the row the vegetation of the various vines, we limit the space between these rows which gives off a space for the work of the vine. Generally in each season the vine is trellised until the harvest, then released before the next size. The following year we make a trellis vine shoots that are twigs aged one year, to guide them in their growth.

On each row of vines one generally has at each end a peg head inclined outwards, then intermediate stakes arranged vertically. A lead wire whose ends are fixed to the ground, passes successively over the entire row of stakes with a certain tension, to connect these stakes together and consolidate them.

The pegs generally have on the sides or side faces means for fixing support son at different heights to maintain the vegetation. In particular, it is possible, depending on the shoot growth, to raise the support wires to which these branches are hooked, on notches or upper hooks to arrange them at a higher height.

A type of stake is presented by the document WO0215672 A1. This peg comprises transversely a cross-shaped general section with four wings. Two opposite wings have at their end a small perpendicular portion which has at different heights notches allowing the engagement of the support son. The wings are interconnected at different heights by small reinforcing triangles forming horizontal planes. The base of the stake has a pointed shape to be driven into the earth, the upper end a horizontal plate to hit on it.

However, this type of known stake, generally has problems of resistance in bending and insufficient rotation. Under the effect of the various constraints during work on the vine, during the growth of the vegetation or under the effect of the weather, one can obtain deformations of the stake which degrade the alignment of the rows of vine. The object of the invention is to remedy all or some of the aforementioned drawbacks. The subject of the invention is a trellis stump comprising: a first end intended to be driven into the ground, a second opposite free end, a front face, a rear face, a first lateral face. a second lateral face, the first lateral face and the second lateral face each extending along an axis substantially parallel to a median longitudinal axis XX of the trellis stake, and are arranged facing each other relative to each other; to said median longitudinal axis XX, characterized in that the first lateral face and the second lateral face are connected to each other by a continuous connecting surface extending at least partially over the height of the trellis stake between the first end and the second end, the connecting surface being formed of a plurality of adjacent facets, each facet extending in an oblique plane between the first lat erale and the second lateral face, said oblique plane of each facet connecting the front face of the trellis stake to the rear face of the trellis peg.

An advantage of this stake is that in a simple and economical way, it is easy to realize the succession of facets continuously connecting the two side faces of the trellis stake. The facet arrangement in an oblique plane with respect to the front and rear faces gives the stake a high rigidity in flexion and torsion.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the stake has a plurality of cross sections each comprising at least two facets.

According to a characteristic of the invention, the transverse sections are separated from each other by a separation rib separator extending along a secant axis, preferably perpendicular, each separator being configured to connect the first lateral face to the second lateral face and / or extending from the front face to the rear face.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the facets of the connecting surface are separated from each other by at least one separation rib.

According to a characteristic of the invention, the facets of the same cross section are separated from each other by at least one oblique rib extending from the junction between the facets towards the front face of the trellis peg in a first direction and / or towards the rear face of the towing stake in a second direction.

Preferably, each section comprises two facets, separated from each other by an oblique rib extending from the junction between the facets towards the front face in a first direction and towards the rear face in a second direction.

According to one characteristic of the invention, each facet is plane.

According to one characteristic of the invention, each facet is of triangular shape.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the oblique ribs succeed each other alternately with opposite inclinations.

Advantageously, all the ribs simply reinforce the structure of the trellising post in flexion and torsion.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the second upper end comprises a slot configured to allow the passage of a head wire ensuring the stability of all the stakes in a row.

According to one characteristic of the invention, the stake comprises a bore passing through said post and extending along a median transverse axis substantially perpendicular to the front face of the trestle post, said piercing preferably being provided at the second end of the post of post. trellising. Advantageously, the drilling allows the passage of a wire.

According to a characteristic of the invention, the trellising post further comprises a plurality of radial ribs extending from the bore to the first lateral face or the second lateral face so as to reinforce the second end. Advantageously, the radial ribs reinforce the second end of the trellis pole which receives shocks during the driving of the post into the ground. The radial ribs allow to lighten the structure of the trellis pole while ensuring rigidity and robustness.

Preferably, the first lateral face is equipped with a plurality of wire hooking members.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the second lateral face is equipped with at least one wire hooking member.

Preferably, the second lateral face is equipped with a plurality of wire hooking members.

According to a feature of the invention, each hooking member of the plurality equipping the first side face of the post is aligned with a hooking member of the plurality equipping the second side face of the stake.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the stake is of substantially parallelepiped shape, which allows to store more stakes per pallet storage. With this form of stake, one can store up to about 400 stakes per pallet against 100 in the current state of the art.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the post is made of composite material comprising at least one plastic material matrix in which is incorporated a powder of vine shoots. The material obtained is then injected and shaped to form the towing stakes according to the invention. This composite material is very advantageous because it is rotproof. Thus, a trellising post made of this material withstands external conditions and lasts in time unlike conventionally used wood or metal stakes that rot or rust fairly quickly. The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which relates to an embodiment according to the present invention, given by way of non-limiting example and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a front view of a trellising post according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a side view of a trellis post according to the invention; FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the stake shown in FIG.
