Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and durable horticultural support using a readily available material or a recycled material for a horticultural support for a vine plant.
SOLUTION: A vine plant is rooted on a piece of wood, and a wooden flat plate is used for a root portion of the vine plant. However, wooden planks are susceptible to decay in the soil, so the foundations buried in the soil were made of plastic or metal material to keep the foundations from decaying in the soil. With such a configuration, a durable garden support can be provided. In addition, wooden flat plates, plastic materials, and metal materials are made inexpensive by using easily available recycled materials.

Description

  The present invention relates to a horticultural support for a climbing plant that grows rooted on the support.

  As a horticultural support used for a climbing plant in which a vine, which is a stem, grows rooted on the surface of the support, one made of natural hego having excellent water permeability and water retention has been widely used. However, natural hegos are expensive, protected by the Washington Convention, and only a limited amount is exported from the country of origin making it difficult to obtain. For this reason, as an alternative to natural hego, a support of a porous molded body formed by compressing a wooden fiber together with an appropriate amount of binder has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

This support is made of wood fiber, has excellent water permeability and air permeability, and the vine grows along the convex and concave shapes formed on its surface, and the roots coming out of the vine are in the gaps of the wood fiber Even if it digs in and grows large plants, there is an effect that it does not slide down due to its own weight. However, wooden fiber is easy to rot in the soil, it breaks when it rots and does not serve as a support, and the rotten wooden fiber absorbs the nitrogen component in the soil, preventing plant growth There is a problem.

  Various types of agricultural and horticultural supports made of synthetic resin have been proposed. Agricultural and fisheries struts (Patent Document 2) in which a metal tube is covered with a synthetic resin and a synthetic resin plug is inserted at both ends thereof are known. Furthermore, there is an agricultural and horticultural support that covers the surface of a metal tube with a thermoplastic resin, has caps having water-tightness at both upper and lower ends, and does not deform even when driven into a relatively hard ground (Patent Document 3). However, since these use metal pipes, they are heavy, the interior is easily rusted, and when they are discarded, there is a problem that the synthetic resin and the metal cannot be collected separately.

  Accordingly, there has been proposed an agricultural and horticultural support made of only a plastic material that is easy to recycle at the time of disposal (Patent Document 4). Reinforcement ribs are provided inside the plastic pipe, and the fins are molded on the outer surface to provide practical strength.

  However, the support for agricultural and horticultural use made of plastic material does not have water permeability, air permeability and water retention, so it is not suitable for growing climbing plants that grow rooted on the support, and the surface of the plastic material. In order to prevent this, there is a phenomenon that the root of the vine cannot bite into the inside of the support column and only sticks to the surface, and as the vine grows up, it slips under its own weight. There is a problem that plant growth is delayed because it is necessary to fix the vine, which is the stem of the plant, by striking the column with a fixing member such as a tucker nail.

  The inventor of the present application who has been manufacturing and selling ornamental plants for many years has used natural hego as a horticultural support for ornamental plants. This has also led to an increase in price, and it has become necessary to select other materials to replace natural hego as a horticultural support for houseplants. The inventor of the present application, in the plastic material, the root of the climbing plant can not bite into the support column, as described above, but only sticks to the surface, but the vine roots on the surface of the tree I realized that through years of experience. However, when a piece of wood is buried in the soil, the piece of wood rots and breaks in the soil and cannot function as a gardening support, and the piece of rotten wood absorbs nitrogen in the soil. This has the disadvantage of delaying the growth of the plant.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application, as a measure for improvement, made a horticultural prop made of metal such as plastic or aluminum for the portion where the vine is rooted and made of wood, and the portion buried in the soil. As effective.

The problem to be solved is that, instead of natural hego, which has been used so far as a material for horticultural props of vine plants, low cost and durable vine plants that are easy to obtain Is to provide horticultural props.
For this purpose, the production cost of horticultural supports is reduced by using recyclable materials. The place where the vines are rooted on the support is made of wood, and the foundation for standing the support by placing it in the soil is made of plastic or metal. It is designed to increase the durability and not to affect the fertilizer content in the soil related to plant growth.

  That is, the first device is a vine planting horticultural support, in a polygonal columnar wooden shaft body, and on each side surface of the shaft core body along the shaft core of the shaft core body. A plurality of square wooden planks to be rooted are joined, and a polygonal cylindrical stem support part formed by the shaft core and the square wooden flat board, and one of the polygonal cylindrical stem support parts This is a horticultural support in which an opening is connected to a plastic or metal foundation to be embedded in soil and to stand the horticultural support.

  Since the vine roots of vines can be rooted on the surface of the tree, the flat plate of the stem support part is made of wood. The flat plate shall mean a plate shape including a square shape or a trapezoidal shape. A plurality of shaft cores may be used depending on the width and length of the wooden flat plate, and serve as the shaft of the polygonal cylindrical stem support portion. It is a polygonal prism such as a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, or a hexagonal prism, and a plurality of wooden flat plates rooted with a vine are joined to the side surface of the polygonal prism along the axis of the polygonal prism. The “axial core” is a conceptual straight line penetrating perpendicularly to the cross section from the center of the cross section of the axial core body. “Along the axis of the polygonal column” means that the direction of the axis and the longitudinal direction of the flat plate are the same. A wooden flat plate is joined to the side of the polygonal column with an adhesive or a nail. In addition, the joining method of a shaft core body and a wooden plane board is not restricted to this method, and is arbitrary. The length and width of the wooden flat plate vary depending on the type of plant, etc., and are arbitrary, and the width of the side surface of the polygonal column that is the shaft core is determined according to the width of the wooden flat plate.

  If a wooden plane board is embedded in soil, it will rot in a short period of time due to drinking water, etc., and will break and lose its function as a support. Therefore, the foundation part buried in the soil is made of plastic or metal. Here, the plastic includes not only general polymer materials such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride but also composite materials such as FRP using plastic as a main raw material. Examples of the metal include iron, aluminum, and those obtained by surface treatment such as painting. In addition, the plastic or metal base portion can use not only a plate material but also a pipe shape or a combination thereof, and a recycled product of such a material can also be used.

  In the second device, instead of a polygonal columnar wooden shaft body, a wooden, metal, or plastic polygonal cylindrical shape is used as a shaft core body, and the shaft core body is provided on a side surface of the shaft core body. The horticultural support according to claim 1, wherein a wooden flat plate to which the vine is rooted is joined along the axis.

  The shaft core is a center for joining a plurality of wooden flat plates to which the vine is rooted, and does not need to be a polygonal column, and may be cylindrical. A wooden flat plate can be joined to the side surface to serve as an axial core. It can be said that the polygonal columnar wooden shaft core of claim 1 is hollow. Furthermore, since the shaft core body is vine but never rooted, it may be made of metal or plastic as well as wooden.

  The third device is a polygonal pyramid-shaped stem support portion using a plurality of trapezoidal wooden flat plates rooted by a vine instead of a plurality of rectangular wooden flat plates rooted by a vine. The horticultural support according to claim 1 or claim 2.

  The lower part of the stalk support part close to the soil is widened, and the cross-section is gradually narrowed upwards. This is a horticultural support that takes into account the growth and aesthetics of vines. Although it has a pyramidal cylinder shape, not only the shape of the tip above the stem support portion being pointed but also the tip portion above the shaft core may be planar. When the trapezoidal flat plate is used, the shaft core body and the trapezoidal flat shape can be obtained by using a pyramid columnar shape with a sharp tip or a truncated pyramid tube shape. The face plate can be joined without a gap. In this case, the axial direction of the shaft core and the trapezoidal flat plate are not parallel to each other, and one end in the longitudinal direction of the flat plate is inclined in the axial direction.

  A fourth device is the horticultural support column according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the wooden flat plate on which the vine is rooted is subjected to an antiseptic treatment. This is because a wooden flat plate is used to improve the durability by preserving it. As the antiseptic treatment, an aqueous antiseptic coating is used. Some paints are used to control the growth of vine plants, so be careful not to use them. In addition, if it is common water-based antiseptic paint, even if this is brushed to a wooden plane board, it has been confirmed that the vine of a climbing plant will root.

  The first idea is that an inexpensive horticultural support can be manufactured using easily available wood pieces, plastics, and metal materials as the material for the horticultural support. These materials can also be used as recycled materials. Moreover, since the stem support part of the gardening support column is made of a wooden or cylindrical shape, there is an effect that the weight is reduced.

  In the second invention, the material of the shaft core body is not limited to wood, and further, the shaft core body has a cylindrical shape, and means for manufacturing a garden support is widened. Not only wooden but also plastic and metallic polygonal cylindrical shapes can be widely searched from waste. The third device has the effect of improving the growth and aesthetics of the climbing plant, and the fourth device has the effect of improving the durability of the gardening support.

Examples of the present invention are shown below.

  FIG. 1 is a component diagram of the shaft core 3 and the flat plate 4, and FIG. 2 is a wooden quadrangular prism-shaped shaft core body 3 in FIG. 1. The shaft core body 3 is an end material for a residential pillar, and is a square having a vertical cross section of about 10 cm and a length of about 5 cm. The flat plate 4 is also an end material of the plywood and has a thickness of about 1 cm, a width of about 10 cm, and a length of about 60 cm. The shaft core 32 and the flat plate 4 are made parallel to each other, and the side surface 31 of the shaft core body and the flat plate 4 are bonded with an adhesive for woodworking, and further joined with a nail to form a square tube-shaped stem support portion 2. FIG. 2 shows a plastic base 5 using a commercially available plastic pile.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a gardening support 1 in which these are combined. A part of the plastic base part 5 is inserted into the lower cylinder of the stem support part 2, and the lower cylinder inner wall of the stem support part 2 and a part of the plastic base part 5 are joined by an adhesive.

FIG. 4 (1) shows an embodiment in which an aluminum rod is used for the base portion, and (2) is an embodiment using FRP. The aluminum rod shape of (1) has an anodized film. The aluminum rod fitted into the cylinder of the stem support part has a width slightly longer than the inner diameter of the cylinder of the stem support part 2 and acts as a spring so that the aluminum bar pushes the inner wall of the stem support part. The depth at which the aluminum rod enters the cylinder of the stem support portion is determined by the shaft core. The FRP of (2) is obtained by processing the discarded FRP material to the size in accordance with the inner diameter of the stem support portion in the cylinder. The stem support part and the FRP serving as the base part are joined with an adhesive. In addition, the length of a base part is decided from the depth etc. of a pot so that a wooden plane board may not enter into soil. Moreover, the shape of the above-described base portion is merely an example, and other shapes may be used. It is sufficient for the foundation to have a structure in which horticultural supports are vertically set and fixed in the soil so that they do not rotate.

FIG. 5 shows the shaft core body 3 which is a so-called pyramidal frustum in which the trapezoidal wooden flat plate 4 and the side surface 31 of the shaft core body 3 are inclined. The trapezoidal wooden flat body 4 is coated with a water-based antiseptic paint. The shaft core body 3 having a truncated pyramid is made of wood and reused recycled products. A plurality of shaft core bodies 3 each having a truncated pyramid shape are used, and a plurality of trapezoidal planar bodies 4 are joined by an adhesive and nailing to form a stem support portion 2. A base part 5 assembled with an aluminum rod is fitted to the lower part of the stem support part. This fitting method is the same as described above. In FIG. 6, the stem support portion and the base portion are integrated to form a gardening support column 1, and the gardening support column is erected on a pot 6 containing soil. The lid 7 of the stem support part is provided to prevent water from entering the cylindrical stem support part when water is used.

  The present invention is characterized in that a horticultural support can be easily and inexpensively manufactured using an easily available and recyclable material. Since the stem support part is preserved and the base part is made of metal such as plastic or aluminum, the base part also has a longer service life than the wooden horticultural support. From the cost and the service life, it is expected that the growing period of vines can be extended and used as a gardening support.
