JP3164851U - Thread clamp to support branches - Google Patents

Abstract

Provided is a holding tool for supporting a branch using an inexpensive thread without using an expensive incidental member by being fitted to a holding clip. SOLUTION: One apex is bent as an elastic bending portion 4 so that two semicircular thread pinching portions 2 are combined to form a circle, and each of the diameters of the thread pinching portions 2 is changed. A semicircular cutout portion 3 is provided at the center, and a T-shaped protrusion 5 is provided at a circularly symmetrical position of each of the thread pinching portions 2.

Description

  The present invention relates to a thread clamp for supporting branches of vine tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, etc., using slightly thicker threads made of natural materials, such as strong twisted cocoon threads and strings used for raising cocoons. .

In agriculture and horticulture, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, etc. are weights of fruits when cultivated in house cultivation or outdoor cultivation. It is known that it is supported not by thread but by a stainless steel pipe or nylon rod.
(See Japanese Patent Application No. 11-218085)

  Although the above-mentioned conventional holding clip, which is a commercially available product, is certainly convenient, the accompanying stainless steel pipe and nylon rod used for it are relatively expensive. For example, generally a tomato is 10 ares (300 tsubo). Since about 2,000 stems are cultivated per plant, the burden of horticultural producers on material costs becomes very large. An object of the present invention is to provide a thread clamp for supporting a completely new and innovative branch in order to reduce the burden of material costs as described above.

  The thread clamping device of the present invention is used by being engaged with and inserted into a commercially available holding clip.

  The yarn used in the present invention is a commercially available kite used by children for raising kites, and the kite yarn is generally a twisted yarn composed of three yarns. Some are up to 100 meters. Depending on the material, it can be used for several years.

  The silk thread is used by being sandwiched between the clamping devices of the present invention, but has a considerable tensile strength.

  As described above, it is much cheaper than stainless steel pipes, nylon bars, etc., and transportation costs can be reduced.

  The thread clamp device of the present invention can be manufactured by integral molding, and can be considerably reduced in cost.

  Unlike the stainless steel pipes and nylon rods that support the branches, it is very easy to clean up after the cultivation, because the yarns are stored in bags, so they are not bulky and do not require a place to be placed.

  As mentioned above, the savings in material costs required for horticulture of the present invention is a significant achievement.

  The thread clamp 1 of the present invention is a molded product formed integrally using a synthetic resin material having appropriate hardness and elasticity.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the size of the holding tool 1 is slightly larger than the inside of the existing hole of the commercially available holding clip, and a pressing force is applied when the holding tool 1 is fitted into the holding clip.

  As shown in FIG. 5, an elastic bent portion 4 is provided which is provided with thread pinching portions 2 on both sides, and semicircular portions 3 are formed on both sides thereof so as to be bent from the central portion of the holding tool 1. Added.

  When the holding tool 1 is closed, the bent portion 4 generates an appropriate pressing force and fixes the clamped thread with the pressing force.

  The thread pinching portion 2 has a stronger pressing force as the yarn goes to the tip, and a slightly thick thread is pinched by the semicircular portion 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, two T-shaped protrusions 5 are formed on the back side of the holding tool 1, and the T-shaped protrusion 5 is inserted into a lateral hole provided in a commercially available holding clip so as to be bent plus (+ ), The holding tool 1 does not move up and down.

  As shown in Fig. 1, when cultivating vine fruit vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants, both indoors and outdoors, a horizontal beam is suspended between struts standing on the ground at predetermined intervals, and yarn is wound around the beam Tie and fix it, tie it to a hanging stake, stake it into the soil and stretch the thread.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the thread clamp 1 fitted to the commercially available holding clip is opened to sandwich the thread, and then the commercially available holding clip is loosely mounted on the branches of the cultivated plant.

  When the branch or stem grows slightly depending on the growth of the stalk, or when the branch is tilted by the weight of the fruit and the attracting action becomes stronger, the thread 1 is tightened several times. Add more.

  Frequently check the tension of the yarn by touching it, and if it is loose, strike the pile again and stretch the yarn.
