Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a shade to cover to protect fruits during growing and growing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, fruit growers have protected the fruit by putting a cap made of paraffin paper or non-woven fabric over the growing fruit. This is because the fruits being cultivated and bred are exposed to excessive sunlight or rain, or the applied pesticides are excessively applied, thereby reducing the quality and commercial value of the fruits. One of the caps made for the purpose of such protection is a grape cap described in JP-A-10-165010. The cap is made by opening a slit provided on a flat sheet of cap paper, covering the grape, then overlapping both sides of the slit, and stapling the overlapping portion to maintain the cap.

[0003] Since a cap is put on each fruit, a considerable number of caps are required, and at present, one cap is used several times in order to reduce costs.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In order to use a single cap repeatedly, it is necessary to remove the overlapping portion of the cap. However, when the overlapping portion is stopped using a stapler as in the above-described conventional example, there is a problem in that it is difficult to remove the overlapped portion and the workability is poor.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a fruit hat that can be easily and quickly put on and taken off the fruit, can be repeatedly used, and can reduce the fruit cultivation cost. It is intended to be.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a fruit shade according to claim 1 is a fruit shade to be put on fruits being cultivated and bred. In addition to providing a linear cut, another cut that forms an insertion piece in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cut in the middle of the cut is provided so as to be continuous with the linear cut, and a side where the insert piece is formed is provided. Further, a cut is formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cut so as to form an insertion opening through which the insertion piece can be inserted and removed.

[0007] According to the fruit hat according to claim 1 having the above configuration, after opening the cut portion of the square sheet and covering it with fruits such as grapes and melons, the both sides of the cut are overlapped and the insertion piece is inserted. Is inserted into the insertion opening to form a shade. Also, since metal fasteners such as staples are not used for the parts to be fixed by polymerization, the work of pulling out the insertion piece from the insertion opening to open the shade and removing it from the fruit is simplified, and the work efficiency is improved. This makes it easier to use a single cap repeatedly and eliminates the need for metal stoppers, so the sheet is not damaged when removing the cap, and the number of times the cap can be used more times than before can be increased. In addition, the cost of using caps per time can be reduced, and the cultivation cost of fruits can be reduced.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the insertion piece has an arrow shape or a mushroom shape, and the cut in the insertion opening is formed by a straight line having a length slightly shorter than a maximum width of the insertion piece. preferable.

According to the fruit cap according to the second aspect, once the insertion piece is inserted into the insertion port, the width of the projecting portion of the substantially arrow-shaped or mushroom-shaped insertion piece projecting to the left and right is equal to the width of the insertion port. Because it is slightly wider than the width, it does not come off without using staples or other fasteners. Then, when opening the shade to remove it from the fruit, the insertion piece can be pulled out simply by pulling it gently from the insertion opening, so that the work of removing the shade is easy and the working time is shortened compared to the conventional shade. Since the number of shades used in cultivation of grapes and the like is enormous, even a slight reduction in the work time required to remove each shade will greatly reduce the overall work time and improve workability. Is significantly improved.

[0010] As described in claim 3, it is desirable to form circular small holes at both ends of the cut of the insertion port.

According to the cap according to the third aspect, since circular small holes are provided at both ends of the insertion port, even if the insertion piece is repeatedly inserted and removed, the small holes prevent the both ends from being torn. The number of uses is greatly increased.

[0012] As described in claim 4, it is preferable that a circular small hole is formed at the intersection of the cut of the insertion piece and the straight cut.

[0013] According to the cap according to claim 4, when the insertion piece is inserted into and removed from the insertion slot, even if the insertion piece is repeatedly bent with respect to the linear cut, the insertion piece and the linear cut are formed. The torsion is prevented from being torn by the stoma, thus further increasing the number of uses.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a large circular hole may be formed at the intersection of the central portion of the sheet and the linear cut.

[0015] According to the cap according to the fifth aspect, particularly when the cap is attached so as to surround the stem with respect to a fruit having a thick stem such as a grape, the stem is arranged at the center of the large hole. In addition to making the mounting work easier, the center portion of the sheet is formed into a circular hole to prevent the sheet from being torn by hitting a stem or the like, thereby further increasing the number of times of use.

[0016]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a fruit shade according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a sheet before being formed on a fruit shade according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state using the fruit shade according to the first embodiment of the present invention. is there.

As shown in FIG. 1, the fruit shade 1 of the present embodiment is formed from a square sheet 2 made of a weather-resistant nonwoven fabric and having a side of about 30 cm, and forms an insertion piece 4 having an arrow shape. A cut 4 ′, a straight cut 3, and a straight cut 5 ′ forming the insertion port 5 are previously formed in the sheet 2. The cuts 3 are made at right angles from the middle position of one side of the sheet 2 toward the center. An arrow-shaped notch 4 ′ is provided in the middle of the notch 3 in a direction perpendicular to the notch 3 and continuous with the notch 3, forming an insertion piece 4. In this example, the maximum width W1 of the head 4a of the insertion piece 4 is 30 mm, the width W2 of the shaft 4b is 20 mm, and the length L of the shaft 4b is 3 mm. A straight cut 5 'having a length W3 of 24 mm is provided at a position rotated in a direction perpendicular to the cut 3 side. The above cuts 3, 4 ', 5' are simultaneously cut using a rotary blade (not shown) or a press (not shown) when cutting into the square sheet 2.

Next, a usage mode of the fruit shade 1 according to the present embodiment having the above configuration will be described.

First, a straight cut 3 of the sheet 2 is opened right and left together with an arrow-shaped cut 4 ′, and then the stem k of the fruit (grape) f is sandwiched so as to surround the center of the sheet 2. Next, both sides are overlapped with the cut 3 as a boundary, and the head 4 a of the insertion piece 4 is inserted into the insertion port 5.

Although the length W3 of the insertion slot 5 is slightly smaller than the maximum width W1 of the insertion strip 4, the head 4a of the insertion strip 4 is isosceles triangular and has a sharp tip, so that it can be inserted without resistance. Moreover, once inserted, both sides of the head 4a project sideways from the insertion port 5 and, as shown in FIG. 2, catch on the end of the insertion port 5 and cannot be easily removed. . Therefore, the sheet 2 can be held in a hat-shape without using a stopper. In addition, while the difference between the width W2 of the shaft 4b of the insertion piece 4 and the length W3 of the insertion port 5 is 4 mm, the difference between the head 4a of the insertion piece 4 and the shaft 4b is 5 mm on one side. Therefore, even if the insertion piece 4 is shifted to one of the insertion ports 5 after insertion, it does not easily come off. Conversely, when opening the fruit cap 1 and removing it from the fruit f, the insertion piece 4 can be easily pulled out by moving the insertion piece 4 to one side of the insertion port 5. In addition, since the length of the shaft portion 4b is 3 mm, stress is hardly concentrated on the base of the insertion piece 4, so that the insertion piece 4 is not easily damaged even if it is repeatedly inserted and removed from the insertion port 5.

The material of the sheet 2 is limited to a non-woven fabric as long as it has weather resistance, particularly water resistance, easily evaporates moisture, and has relatively high sunlight reflectance and transmittance. It is not something to be done. Also, the size and shape of the sheet 2 and the positions, shapes and sizes of the insertion pieces 4 and the insertion ports 5 are limited to those described in this example as long as the same function as in this example is exhibited. Not something.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a second embodiment of a fruit cap in a sheet state. The difference between the fruit cap 11 of the present embodiment and the cap 1 of the first embodiment is as follows. That is, the shape of the insertion piece 4 was changed to a mushroom shape, a circular small hole 6 was formed at the intersection of the notch 4 ′ for the insertion piece 4 and the linear notch 3, and the notch 5 for the insertion port 5. 'Have circular small holes 7 at both ends. Other configurations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the same configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

According to the cap 11 according to the second embodiment, the ease of inserting the insertion piece 4 into the insertion port 5 is slightly inferior to the arrow shape, but the tip is not sharp, so the durability is high. Excellent in nature. In addition, since circular small holes 7 are provided at both ends of the insertion opening 5 of the insertion piece 4, even if the insertion piece is repeatedly inserted and removed, the small ends 7 prevent both ends from being torn. Extend to. Further, a circular small hole 6 is also formed at the intersection of the notch 4 'of the insertion piece 4 and the linear notch 3, so that stress is less likely to be concentrated at the root of the insertion piece 4, and A considerable number of repetitions can be used to prevent cracking at 6.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a third embodiment of a fruit shade in a sheet state. The difference between the fruit cap 21 of the present embodiment and the cap 1 of the first embodiment is as follows. That is, the tip of the insertion piece 4 was rounded, the circular small holes 6 were formed at the intersection of the notch 4 ′ for the insertion piece 4 and the linear notch 3, and the notch 5 ′ for the insertion port 5 was formed. That is, circular small holes 7 are formed at both ends, and a large circular hole 8 is formed at the center of the sheet 2 at the intersection with the linear cut 3. Other configurations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the same configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

According to the fruit cap 21 according to the third embodiment, particularly when the cap 21 is attached to a fruit having a thick stem k (see FIG. 2) such as a grape so as to surround the stem k, Since the stem k is arranged at the center of the large hole 8, the work of attaching the shade 21 is easy. Since the center of the sheet 2 becomes a circular hole 8 and is prevented from being torn by hitting the stem k or the like, the sheet 2 is rich in durability and used more frequently. In addition, since the small holes 6 and 7 are provided, the same effect as that of the fruit shade 11 of the second embodiment is obtained.

Although a plurality of embodiments of the fruit shade of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be implemented as follows.

The sheet 2 is not limited to a square, but may be formed in a rectangle.

When the sheet 2 has a square shape, the length of the change is not limited to 30 cm, but is appropriately determined according to the size and shape of the fruit to be covered.

[0029]

[Effect of the invention]

 As is clear from the above explanation, the fruit shade of the present invention has the following excellent effects.

(1) The invention of claim 1 is to open the cut portion of the square sheet and cover it with fruits such as grapes and melons, and then overlap both sides of the cut, and insert the insertion piece into the insertion opening. , The shade is easily formed. In addition, since metal fasteners such as staples are not used for the parts that are fixed by polymerization, the work of pulling out the insertion piece from the insertion hole and removing it from the fruit is simplified, and the work efficiency is improved. This makes it easier to use a single cap and eliminates the need for metal stoppers, so that the sheet is not damaged when removing the cap and can be used more repeatedly than before. More times, the cost of using shades per time is reduced, and the cost of growing fruits can be reduced.

(2) In the invention according to claim 2, once the insertion piece is inserted into the insertion port, the width of the projecting portion of the substantially arrow-shaped or mushroom-shaped insertion piece projecting left and right is slightly larger than the width of the insertion port. Because it is large, it does not use staples or other fasteners, but it does not come off easily. Then, when removing from the fruit, the insertion piece can be pulled out simply by pulling it gently from the insertion opening, so the removal of the cap is easy and the work time is shorter than that of the conventional cap. Since the number of shades used for growing grapes is enormous, even a slight reduction in the work time required to remove each shade is greatly reduced, and the overall work time is greatly reduced. Is significantly improved.

(3) In the device according to the third aspect, since circular small holes are provided at both ends of the insertion port, even if the insertion piece is repeatedly inserted and removed, the small holes prevent the both ends from being torn. Thus, the number of times of use is greatly increased.

(4) The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that, when the insertion piece is inserted into and removed from the insertion slot, the insertion piece and the linear cut are repeatedly bent even if the insertion piece is repeatedly bent with respect to the linear cut. The use of a stoma prevents tearing of the nested intersections, thus further increasing the number of uses and reducing the cost per use.

(5) The invention according to claim 5 is that the stem is arranged at the center of the great hole when the shade is attached so as to surround the stem, especially for fruits having thick stems such as grapes. The work of attaching the shade is further facilitated, and the center of the sheet is formed into a circular hole to prevent the stem from being broken by hitting the stem, etc., so that the durability is enhanced and the number of times of use is further increased.
