Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanger for growing melon, which hangs melon fruits (fruits) that grow gradually when cultivating melon.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an intermediate portion of a hanging string cut to a predetermined length is wound around a vine of a melon fruit, and both ends of the hanging string are stretched horizontally in a house (or a wire). After being wound around a wire, the both ends are connected to form a ring of a predetermined size, and the fruit of the melon is suspended from the hanging wire via the ring. With the size of the ring, the knots at both ends of the hanging string are appropriately adjusted with the growth of the fruit of the melon so that the side branch immediately above the vine is in a horizontal state perpendicular to the vine, thereby Improve the commerciality of the fruit.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned prior art, the position of the knot at both ends of the hanging string is repeatedly adjusted as the fruit of the melon grows, so that it takes time and effort. Met. An object of the present invention is to obtain a new hanging device for growing melon fruit which has solved the above-mentioned problems by allowing the vertical position of the melon fruit to be easily adjusted without adjusting the size of the ring. .

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is configured as follows to achieve the above object. That is, the invention according to claim 1 is to form a large number of hanging pieces inclined upward on one side in the longitudinal direction of a rectangular plate-shaped main body elongated in the vertical direction at a predetermined pitch in the vertical direction, and to form a gap between the hanging pieces. A vertically elongated locking hole slidably fitted to a tension wire body stretched in the house at the upper end of the plate main body, gradually expanding outwardly, and one side of the tension wire body. A suspension plate formed with a horizontal hole leading to an intermediate portion in the up-down direction of the locking hole, a lower end portion is wound around the vine neck, and an upper end portion is detachably attached to a predetermined hanging piece. It is configured to provide an annular hanging string to be locked. The invention according to claim 2 is that the bottom of the gap between the hanging pieces is formed in an arc shape in which the hanging string fits, and the position of each bottom is located below the center of the locking hole. is there.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a side view showing a hung state of a fruit of a growing melon according to the present invention, and FIG.
3 is a side view of a suspension plate showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a right side view of FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a ridge-shaped soil formed in a house (not shown) so as to extend in the left-right direction. Many melons 2 are planted in the soil 1 at a predetermined pitch in the left-right direction. . In each melon 2, one selected fruit 5 is left on a predetermined side branch 4 branched from the stem 3.

A large number of columns 15 are fixed to the soil 1 at a predetermined pitch in the left-right direction.
A tension line 16 made of m wires or wires is stretched in the left-right horizontal direction. The height of the tension line 16 is higher than the fruit 5, and the hanging wire 6 supports the fruit 5 of the melon 2 so that the fruit 5 of the melon 2 is at a predetermined height position via a hanging member 6 described later.

[0008] The hanging member 6 comprises a hanging plate 7 and a hanging string 1.
0, and the suspension plate 7 is as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 7 denotes a suspension plate made of plastic having a thickness T of about 2.5 mm.
Alternatively, a vertical length L of about 220
mm and a width W of about 20 mm, a vertically elongated rectangular plate main body 7a is formed, and a large number of hanging pieces 8 inclined upward to the right side (one side in the longitudinal direction) of the plate main body 7a in FIG. , And in this example, seven are formed.

Each of the hanging pieces 8 has a vertical pitch P of about 25 mm, and each of the hanging pieces 8 is bent upward and the tip side is gradually opened. As a result, the gap (a) between the hanging pieces 8 is gradually expanded outward in an upwardly arcuate shape, and the hanging string 1 described later is formed.
2 can be smoothly removed. Further, a vertically elongated locking hole 9 and a horizontal hole 10 extending in the left-right direction are formed at the upper end of the plate main body 7a.

The horizontal width of the locking hole 9 and the vertical width of the horizontal hole 10 are set to a width (about 3 mm) in which the tension wire 16 is loosely fitted. The locking hole 9 is formed at the left and right center of the upper end of the plate main body 7a and has a length of about 10 mm in the vertical direction. The horizontal hole 10 is located on the left side of the plate main body 7a in FIG. And the left end is opened to the outside, and the right end is
To the middle part in the vertical direction. Thereby, the tension wire 16 stretched in the house can be detached from the locking hole 9 through the lateral hole 10 and the locking hole 9 fitted to the tension wire 16 is at the upper end thereof. The suspension plate 7 is slidably engaged with the tension line 16 so that the suspended suspension plate 7 is not accidentally detached from the tension line 16.

The bottom of each hanging piece 8, that is, the bottom (a) of the gap (a) between each hanging piece 8 is formed in an arc shape slightly larger than the wire diameter of the hanging string 12, and each bottom (a) is formed. Is positioned on the above-described left and right center line C of the locking hole 9 so that the load of the fruit 5 acting via the hanging string 12 is received at the left and right center portions of the locking hole 9.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hanging string 12 is formed by cutting a string made of cotton or plastic (resin) into a predetermined size, and connecting both ends thereof to form a ring of a predetermined size. The lower part is wound and locked on the vine neck 5a of the melon fruit 5, and the upper part is locked with a predetermined hanging piece 8. This hanging piece 8 to be locked
Is selected as shown in FIG. 2 by the side branch 4 immediately above the vine 5a.
Is selected to be in a horizontal state orthogonal to the vine 5a.

[0013]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a large number of hanging pieces are formed at a predetermined pitch in the vertical direction on one side in the longitudinal direction of a rectangular main plate which is elongated in the vertical direction, and are formed in an annular shape. The lower end of the hanging strap was wound around the vine neck of the melon, and the upper end of the hanging strap could be selected and removed from the above-mentioned predetermined hanging piece. This eliminates the need to repeatedly adjust the position of the knot at both ends of the hanging string, and the vertical position of the fruit of the melon can be quickly adjusted without labor. Further, since the gap between the hanging pieces is gradually expanded outward, the hanging of the hanging string on the hanging piece can be performed smoothly. In addition, a vertically elongated locking hole is formed at the upper end of the plate main body, and a vertically intermediate portion of the locking hole is opened to the outside through a horizontal hole, and a tension wire body stretched from the horizontal hole into the house. Is guided to the locking hole, so that the suspension plate does not inadvertently come off from the tension wire when the suspension string is hung on the suspension piece. Furthermore, since the suspension plate was formed of a plate material, by stacking each suspension plate face to face when not in use,
It can be stored compactly without being entangled with each other, and can be easily attached to the tension wire when reused. In the invention according to claim 2, the bottom of the gap between the hanging pieces is formed in an arc shape in which the hanging string fits, and the position of each bottom is located below the center of the locking hole, so that the fruit Even if the load acts on the left and right central parts of the locking holes via the hanging strings, and even if the hanging strings are hung on different hanging pieces up and down, each hanging plate is kept in a vertical order and hinders other work. Disappears.
