DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A hanging string 3 is provided so as to be wound up and housed in a main body 2 having a hooking portion 1 which can be detachably hooked to an appropriate place in an upper portion of a greenhouse A.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 2 of this embodiment is formed as a small hollow disk-shaped body, and the hook-shaped hooking portion 1 is attached to one of the front and rear flat portions of the disk-shaped main body. It is attached.

A rotating body (not shown) is rotatably mounted in the disk-shaped main body 2, and a suspending string 3 employing fishing lines (tegs) can be wound up and out of the rotating body. Is provided. In the drawing, reference numeral 9 denotes an entrance for the hanging string 3 provided in the main body 2.

Further, a winding mechanism 7 for winding and urging the hanging string 3 is provided on the main body 2 so that the hanging string 3 can be unwound from the main body 2 against the urging force of the winding mechanism 7. .
Note that the winding mechanism 7 of the suspension string 3 has a well-known configuration and a configuration that can be appropriately changed in design, so that detailed description and illustration thereof are omitted.

Further, in this embodiment, there is provided a suspending string fixing device 4 which can lock and suspend the suspending string 3 from the main body 2 to an unwinding / unwinding state with an arbitrary unwinding length.

The hanging string fixing device 4 will be described in detail. A winding body 8 provided with a winding groove 8A around which the hanging string 3 can be wound is provided in the main body 2 in an attached state. The winding groove 8A is configured so that the groove width gradually narrows, and when the hanging string 3 is wound around the winding groove 8A, the hanging string 3 bites into a narrow portion of the groove width and is locked.

Therefore, in the winding groove 8A where the groove width gradually narrows, as the fruit 5A grows large and the weight is added to the hanging string 3, the hanging string 3 digs deeper into the winding groove 8A and the locking force increases. , So that an extremely strong locking action is exhibited.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the winding body 8 employs a rod-shaped body having the spiral winding groove 8A engraved on the entire circumferential side surface. The rod-shaped winding body 8 is connected to the main body 2 via a plate-shaped connecting member 10 and is in an attached state.

Further, in this embodiment, a support portion 6 is provided at the end of the hanging string 3 so as to hook the branch 5 having the fruit 5A thereon and to lift and support the branch 5.

The bearing 6 will be specifically described. The drawing shows a case where a hook body having a forked tip is employed.

The mounting structure of the support part 6 to the hanging string 3 is such that a stopper 11 is attached to the tip of the hanging string 3 and the mounting groove 6A is formed at the base of the supporting part 6 so that the mounting groove 6A is formed. The suspension string 3 is fitted into 6A, and the stopper 11 is locked and attached to the support portion 6.

In this embodiment, the case where a fishing line (tegs) is used as the hanging string 3 has been described. However, a vinyl string or a wire may be used. A knot may be formed at the end of the hanging string 3 without using the tool 11, and the knot (knot) may be locked in the mounting groove 6A to mount the support portion 6, and the stopper 11 is used. Cost can be reduced by the amount not to do.

In the case of a string like a hemp string used in a conventional hanging device, mold is easily generated when not in use (at the time of storage) and cannot be reused. A new hemp string had to be prepared every time, but in this embodiment, such a problem is solved by adopting a fishing line (tegus) as the hanging string 3 so that it can be reused many times. . Note that this point is the same even when a vinyl string or a wire is employed as the hanging string 3.

Next, a specific method of using the branch hanger of this embodiment will be described. The drawing shows a case where a melon (hereinafter, referred to as a melon 5A) is employed as the fruit 5A. The term "branch" in the claims is used to mean "vines (parent vine, child vine, grandchild vine, etc.)" such as melon 5A, tomato, cucumber, and the like.

A hook-shaped hooking portion 1 is provided at an upper portion of the melon 5A cultivated on the ground in the plastic greenhouse A and at a suitable upper portion of the greenhouse A (the frame 13 in the upper portion of the greenhouse A in the drawing). The main body 2 is hooked through the main body 2, the hanging string 3 is unwound from the main body 2 against the urging force of the winding mechanism 7, and the support 6 is formed as a vine (hereinafter referred to as a vine 6 </ b> A) as a branch 5 with a melon 5 </ b> A.
) Is positioned below the winding string 8 by a length that allows about one turn on the winding body 8.

Next, the support portion 6 is fixed to the position of the vine 5 with the melon 5A by, for example, making a single turn in the winding groove 8A of the winding body 8 and locking and fixing the same, as shown in FIG. Bearing 6
The vine 5 with the melon 5A can be hooked to support the vine 5.

Therefore, the product of the present invention can be installed simply by hooking the upper portion of the greenhouse A in place via the hook portion 1, and it is only necessary to remove the hook portion 1 for removal. The troublesome work of connecting and unwinding the string-like body one by one like conventional hanging equipment is unnecessary,
Moreover, the hanging string 3 can be pulled out to the vine 5 with the melon 5A and can be locked and fixed by the hanging string fixing device 4 so that the support portion 6 is located at the vine 5.
This is an extremely practical and revolutionary fruit branch hanging tool that can reliably support the vine 5 so that it does not move downward without any excess length.

After the cultivation of the melon 5A (after the harvest), the bearing 6 is removed from the vine 5 and the hanging string fixing device 4 is removed.
The suspension mechanism 3 is automatically wound up and stored in the main body 2 by the winding mechanism 7 only by releasing the locking and fixing of the suspension string 3 by the following operation. By doing this, the main body 2 can be removed from the appropriate place in the upper part of the greenhouse A.
The work can be performed very easily.
