[Embodiment of the invention]

 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 10 shown in the figure is an artificial tree shape for sculpting trees such as veranda gardening, etc. The horticultural support member 10 is made of a light metal wire or a synthetic resin wire, and the horticultural support 10 gradually becomes smaller from the small spherical apex 11 as shown in FIGS. An obelisk of approximately 900 mm in height is formed from a ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 having a large diameter and, for example, six line-shaped vertical frames 13 extending from the apex portion 11 to the circumference of the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12. Is configured. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the line-shaped vertical frame 13 at the intersection of the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 and the line-shaped vertical frame 13 of the horticultural support 10 has the lower side from the upper side with the reduced diameter. A stepped bent portion Q connected to the enlarged diameter side is formed in, for example, three steps from above, and three ring-shaped horizontal frames 12 are respectively connected to the line-shaped vertical frame 13 through the bent portions Q. It is suspended substantially horizontally around the circumference, and is supported so as to prevent falling down.

As shown in FIGS. 2B and 4, the inner periphery of the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 and the inside of, for example, three lower leg portions 13 A of the line-shaped vertical frame 13 are provided with PE. A leg insertion pipe 17 is fixedly provided so as to be able to insert and remove a leg 16 which is coated and bent downward in an L-shape. The legs 16 are detached when the horticultural props 10 are to be stacked. Note that the leg insertion pipe 17 is configured as a joint pipe alone so that the lower leg 13A of the linear vertical frame 13 and the leg 16 are connected via the leg insertion pipe 17. Is also good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, on the circumference of the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A, there is inserted a leg portion that allows the lower end leg 13A of each of the linear vertical frames 13 to be inserted and removed. The pipe 14 is attached in a state where it is slightly inclined inward, and the lower end leg portion is expanded in a state where the diameter of the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 is increased at the bent portion Q of the linear vertical frame 13 so as to prevent the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 from falling off. 13A may be inserted into the leg insertion pipe 14.

Further, in the illustrated example, the contact point between the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 and the bent portion Q of the line-shaped vertical frame 13 is heat-welded with a welding agent or the like, or fixed with an adhesive or the like. Is also good. Further, the above-mentioned leg insertion pipe 14 is omitted, and the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A and the lower end leg 13A of each linear vertical frame 13 are joined by the bent portion Q of the linear vertical frame 13. The ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 may be integrally formed in a state where the diameter thereof is increased to the extent that the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 is prevented from falling off.

Next, an example of the use of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower leg 13A is moved to the lowermost position while the line-shaped vertical frame 13 is expanded through the vertex 11. Of the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), large-, medium-, and small-diameter ring-shaped horizontal frames 12 are sequentially fitted from above, and large-, medium-, and small-diameter bent portions of the linear vertical frame 13 are inserted. Let Q support each one. At this time, the bent portion Q of the line-shaped vertical frame 13 is maintained in an expanded state such that the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 does not drop downward (see FIG. 1), and is used as a topiary in this state. . Further, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 4, the leg 16 is inserted and fixed from below the leg insertion pipe 17 so as to be used as a topiary while adjusting the installation height.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when stacking the horticultural support members 10, the inner periphery of the lowermost horizontal ring frame 12 A and the inside of the lower leg 13 A of the linear vertical frame 13 are stacked. After each leg 16 has been removed from the three leg insertion pipes 17 provided, one of the horticultural props 10 is moved from the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A side of one of the horticultural props 10 to the other. The vertices 11 may be inserted and overlapped. At this time, the vertices 11, the bent portions Q, and the ring-shaped horizontal frames 12 of the individual horticultural supports are stacked without contact with each other, so that any obstacles are caused. No stacking height can be kept as low as possible.

[0019]

[Effect of the invention]

 The present invention is configured as described above. In particular, it is possible to adopt a simple configuration in which the height of the horticultural support members 10 at the time of stacking is reduced to enable effective use of space.

That is, the bent portion Q of the linear vertical frame 13 can stably support the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 at the circumferential portion of the linear vertical frame 13 so as to prevent the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 from falling down. Further, since the bent portions Q are formed in a simple stepped shape, when the horticultural support members 10 are stacked, the vertex portion 11, the bent portion Q, and the ring-shaped horizontal frame of each horticultural support member 10 are stacked. The stacking members 12 are stacked without contacting each other, so that the stacking height can be kept as low as possible without any obstacles, and the space can be effectively used.

The legs 16 are simply removed from the plurality of leg insertion pipes 17 provided on the inner periphery of the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A and inside the lower leg 13A of the linear vertical frame 13. Only by this, the legs 16 themselves can be stacked without any hindrance.

Furthermore, the lower end leg 13A of the linear vertical frame 13 is inserted into and fixed to the leg inserting pipe 14 of the lowermost ring-shaped horizontal frame 12A. In Q, it is possible to maintain an expanded state in which the ring-shaped horizontal frame 12 is not dropped downward.

In addition, by inserting the legs 16 from below into the respective leg insertion pipes 17, the installation height can be adjusted extremely easily.
