FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the horticultural support structure has a support 1 having a fan shape as a whole in a vertical direction from the center to the left and right. It is divided and formed.

More specifically, the column 1 is connected to six vertical members 2 whose left, right and center are long and whose center is short, and which are vertically spaced from each other at substantially equal intervals. Formed from the three horizontal members 3 and two short vertical members 2 between them, and from the lower end to the upper end centering on the two long vertical members 2a and 2b at the center in the vertical and parallel directions. It is formed in an inverted C-shape fan shape, and is divided into two parts around the central vertical members 2a and 2b into a left column 4 and a right column 5 in the figure.

The vertical members 2 and the horizontal members 3 are each made of a relatively thin wooden bar, and the tip 2c of each of the long vertical members 2 is used to facilitate insertion into the soil. It is cut at a sharp angle. Further, the two 2 and 3 are connected by driving two upper and lower nails 6 and 7 into the overlapping portion. As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D, the nails 6 and 7 are driven from upper and lower diagonal positions. The nail 7 on the lower side has its tip 7a driven in an inclined downward direction, and as shown in FIG. The driving direction is set so as to form a character. The nails 6 and 7 are driven in the same manner in all other parts.

The left and right support portions 4 and 5 are formed in a symmetrical shape with respect to each other, and two hinges serving as bend permitting members are provided between central longitudinal members 2a and 3a, which are divided ends facing each other. They are connected by 8,9. The hinges 8, 9 are formed of a synthetic resin material, and are attached to the vertical members 2a, 3a at predetermined upper and lower positions by driving nails 10, 11 at predetermined intervals. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the two support columns 4, 5 are provided so as to be freely expandable and foldable via the hinges 8, 9.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, when the post 1 is packed in a box-shaped cardboard container in order to transport and sell it, for example, as shown in FIGS. The two pillars 4 and 5 are folded double via the hinges 8 and 9, and are alternately arranged with the other pillars 1 that have been folded in advance, and are set so that the whole becomes substantially rectangular. . After that, if the sheet 12 is placed on the other two columns 1, 1 folded and arranged in the same shape as shown in FIG. 7, the four columns 1 can be compactly set at a time. Therefore, this can be efficiently accommodated in the rectangular cardboard container. As a result, the accommodation and transport efficiency is improved, and the transport cost can be reduced.

It can be easily used by unfolding it at any angle between 180 degrees and inserting the tip 2c of each long longitudinal member 2 into the soil of a garden or garden pot.

As described above, since it is possible to freely set and use the unfolding angle of each of the pillars 4 and 5, the freedom of the layout is greatly improved. The support 1 itself can be stabilized.

Further, since the hinges 8 and 9 are formed of a synthetic resin material, not only the weight can be reduced, but also the generation of rust is prevented and the appearance quality can be maintained for a long period of time.

Furthermore, since the driving directions of the nails 6 and 7 for connecting the vertical and horizontal members 2 and 3 are set to be unique, it is possible to obtain a strong binding while preventing the vertical and horizontal members 2 and 3 from cracking.

FIGS. 8 to 10 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the shape of the entire column 1 is fan-shaped and almost the same as that of the first embodiment, Is set slightly longer, the cross member 3 is increased by one, the overall shape is set larger, and the number of hinges 8, 9 is also increased to three. 8 shows a state in which the support column 1 is expanded at 180 degrees, FIG. 9 shows a state in which both support portions 4, 5 are expanded at a predetermined angle, and FIG. 10 shows a state in which both support portions 4, 5 are folded. ing.

FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a third embodiment in which a relatively large resin plate 15 is used as a bending allowance member instead of the ordinary hinge. That is, the resin plate 15 is formed so as to be freely bendable from the center, and is attached to a substantially central position of the two support columns 4 and 5 by a stop needle 16 or the like. Note that FIG. 11 shows a state in which both support portions 4 and 5 are deployed at a predetermined angle, and FIG. 12 shows a state in which the support portions 4 and 5 are folded.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the same operation and effect as those of the above embodiments can be obtained, and the name of the plant to be planted and the time of planting can be described on the resin plate 15, which is convenient. The nature becomes high.

FIGS. 13 to 15 show a fourth embodiment, in which the support 1 is divided into a relatively large central support 20 in the center and rectangular left and right support 21 and 22 on both sides thereof. It is divided and formed on both sides of the central support part 20 with both side support parts 21 and 22 foldable via hinges 23, 24, 25 and 26. The width of the both-side support portions 21 and 22 is set to about half the size of the center support portion 20.

Therefore, when the side support portions 21 and 22 are folded through the hinges 23 to 26, as shown in FIG. 15, the central support portion 21 is compactly combined with the width of the central support portion 21, and When all are developed at 180 degrees, the size becomes twice as large as the central support part 20 as shown in FIG. 13, and the support parts 22 and 23 on both sides are developed at a predetermined angle as shown in FIG. It is also possible to set an arbitrary shape.
