Description

  The present invention relates to a support column that supports a plant growing net, and more particularly to a support column that supports a vine plant growing net.

Conventionally, in order to prevent lodging or the like, it is widely performed to support a plant by fixing it to a splint with a wire or the like. However, in this method, the fixing position must be frequently changed according to the growth of the plant, and it is practically difficult to support many plants.
In patent document 1, in order to cultivate in a state where a large number of ornamental flowers such as chrysanthemums are lined up, a method is disclosed in which a net is arranged horizontally and a stem portion of the plant is passed through the mesh. Here, a support is erected around the planting part, and a mesh stopper formed by winding a wire around the support is used to connect the mesh stopper to the net, and the mesh is adjusted in accordance with the growth of the plant. It is shown that the net is moved up and down by moving the stoppers up and down along the columns.

By the way, for vine plants that are difficult to stand on their own, a plant growing net is used that supports the vine plants wrapped around and supported by a net between the columns. It has been. In this case, unlike the above-described case of preventing the fall of self-supporting plants such as chrysanthemums, almost all the weight of the vine is supported by the net because the vine is wrapped around and supported by the net. Therefore, in the case of a net stopper formed by winding a wire around the support as described above, it must be used as a winding force that can finally withstand the weight of the plant, Even in the case of a relatively light load, there arises a problem that it is necessary to loosen the mesh stopper by applying a strong force to move the mesh up and down. When using a functional part that tightens or loosens a support like this net stopper, it is difficult to easily carry out the operation for raising and lowering the plant growth net that supports the plant by winding it around. is there. Moreover, such a functional component also has a fear that a function may be impaired by failure.
As a means not to use functional parts to tighten or loosen, it is possible to fix a hook like a hook on the support and hook the net, but in this case the net hooks when the net vibrates due to wind etc. You have the fear of falling off and falling off.
These problems are not limited to vines, but are common problems when plants are wrapped around and supported by a plant growing net.
JP 7-59471 A

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a support column for a plant growing net that can easily remove and attach the plant growing net while suppressing the fall of the plant growing net without using special functional parts. It is to provide.

The present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, is a support strut for a plant growing net that is erected in planting of a plant and supports a net for winding and growing the plant,
The support strut includes a net accommodating portion extending in the width direction so as to accommodate and support the string constituting the net, and the width direction of the support strut along the upper edge of the net accommodating portion. An opening that communicates the outer shape of the support post with the mesh receiving portion so that the string can be introduced into the mesh receiving portion, and the opening is formed in a bent shape when viewed from the front. Providing a supporting support for the plant growing net as a feature.

The support strut of the plant growing net of the present invention is formed in a bent shape in front view that communicates the net accommodating portion that accommodates and supports the string constituting the plant growing net and the net accommodating portion and the outer shape of the support strut. Since it is provided with an opening, the string can be easily detached by loosening the string so as to conform to the bent shape of the opening. Easy to do.
Furthermore, since the string that has been accommodated and received tension so as to be linear is prevented from falling off from the opening due to the bent shape, the plant growing net falls compared to when it is hooked on a mere hook or the like. This can be suppressed.

  First, the support support | pillar of the plant growth net | network of preferable embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIG.1 and FIG.2.

  In this embodiment, the support pillar 1 of the plant growing net has a cylindrical main body, and a groove 2 for receiving and holding a string constituting the plant growing net is provided on a side surface of the main body.

The main body has a sharp end at one end and a flat end at the other end so that it can be easily stabbed into the ground.
The main body is provided with a tying portion 3 on a side surface close to the end portion having the flat shape, and a concave portion recessed from the surrounding side surface is formed over the entire circumference.

  The main body usually has a length of 2 to 4 m and a diameter of 20 to 40 mm, and is made of an inner layer material made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), non-woven fabric or non-woven fabric such as polyester, vinylon, acrylic, polypropylene, etc. The outer layer material made of a resin impregnated or a resin having weather resistance suitable for outdoor use is coated with a single material or a combination of a plurality of materials.

  The groove 2 is provided so as to extend in the width direction of the main body. Usually, the net accommodating part 22 having a width of 2 to 7 mm and a depth of 5 to 25 mm and the upper edge part of the net accommodating part 22 are described above. The opening 21 communicates with the outer shape of the support column, and the opening is usually formed with a width of 2 to 5 mm and a depth of 5 to 23 mm. A plurality of the grooves 2 are provided at a ratio of one or more within 100 mm in the length direction of the main body.

  Although the said opening part 21 is based also on the form of a plant breeding net | network, and the kind of plant to grow, normally the length covering the half circumference of a main body seeing from upper part is desirable. The opening is bent into an upwardly convex arc shape, and the upper edge 23 of both ends is located 1 mm or more lower than the lower edge 24 of the central part.

  The tying portion 3 is formed, for example, in a bobbin shape as shown in FIG. 3 and is usually 5 to 20 mm in width, and the depth is tying the cords constituting the plant growing net, and the tying cords vibrate. It is preferably 1 mm or more so that it can be more reliably prevented from falling off, etc., and is formed to a depth of 1 to 5 mm in terms of workability for tying the string and preventing the strength of the tying portion from being lowered. It is more preferable.

As such a plant growth net 4 to be held on the support struts, those having a width of 1 to 3 m and a length of 50 to 1000 m are usually used.
As shown in FIG. 4, the plant-growing net has a mesh portion 41 knitted with a string having a thickness suitable for plants, and an end portion in the width direction of the plant-growing net so that the mesh of the mesh portion is sewn. It is formed by a hanging string 42 having a diameter of 1 to 6 mm extending in the length direction of the plant growing net.

  Next, the method of using the support strut will be described. The support strut 1 is usually erected at an interval of 2 to 4 m, and the suspension string 42 is wound around the tying portion 3 located at the upper end thereof. Furthermore, after supporting the plant growing net 4 by hooking the string of the mesh part 41 into the groove 2 formed on the side surface of the support column 1, the vine plant 5 and the like are wound around the mesh part 41 and supported. That's fine.

  In this embodiment, the support strut is FRP because it has light weight, high strength, moderate weather resistance, and excellent rust resistance due to acid rain, etc. Can also be formed using ordinary metal members, synthetic resins, wood, and the like.

  Further, the dimensions of the main body, the opening, and the width, length, and depth of the net accommodating portion can be appropriately selected within a range not impairing the effects of the present invention.

Further, in the present embodiment, an upwardly convex arc shape is adopted as the shape of the opening. However, in the present invention, the shape is not particularly limited to the upward convex arc shape. Various shapes such as a mold and a saw blade mold can be used.
Further, in the present embodiment, after the mesh portion is accommodated in the accommodating portion, it is possible to more surely prevent the accommodated mesh portion from falling off through the opening due to factors such as wind. The lowermost part of the upper edge of the opening is formed to be 1 mm lower than the uppermost part of the lower edge, but the lowermost part of the upper edge of the opening in the present invention is more than the uppermost part of the lower edge. However, it is not limited to a form that is lower by 1 mm.

  Further, in this embodiment, a strap with a depth of 1 mm or more is used so as to more reliably prevent the tied hanging strap from falling off due to vibration or the like so that the plant growing net can be supported more reliably. Although the support strut with the part provided on the main body is used, in the present invention, the depth of the strapping part is not particularly limited, and if necessary, the support strut without the strapping part is used. It is also possible to do.
