Description

  The present invention relates to an attracting tool for supporting a plant stem on a vertical string and a cultivation shelf using the attracting tool.

Conventionally, when growing a plant such as a tomato, for example, a vertical string is hung near the plant stem, and the stem is fixed to the vertical string using a tie band. Moreover, the loop band of patent document 1 can also be used instead of a tie band. By fixing the stem to the vertical string in this way, the stem can be made independent and hardly fall down, and the growth of the plant can be aided.
However, in an attracting tool such as a tie band or a loop band, for example, the stem and the vertical string are fastened together, so that the stem is rubbed with the attracting tool or the vertical string and easily hurt.

  In addition, it is conceivable that a fixed string is attached to the vertical string in a loop shape as in Patent Document 2 or 3, and the stem is tied with the loop-shaped fixed string. It is difficult to stabilize. In order to stabilize the stem against the vertical string, the stem must be tightly tied with a loop-shaped fixed string.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-210915 JP 2003-033115 A JP 2005-013035 A JP 2001-238547 A Utility model registration No. 3018081

  Therefore, it is conceivable to fix a clip as in Patent Document 4 or 5 to a vertical string and to support the stem with the clip fixed to the vertical string. In this case, the stem and the vertical string are not fastened together, and the stem can be stabilized with respect to the vertical string.

However, even if such a clip is used, the burden on the operator is not reduced.
That is, when attaching a clip, for example, an operator must pinch a stem with a clip, being careful to pinch a vertical string at the base of the clip.
Further, when a plant grows or starts harvesting a fruit, it is necessary to remove the clip from the stem in accordance with the growth or harvest, adjust the position of the stem, and then attach the clip again. It is necessary to adjust the position of the clip according to the growth of the plant and the harvest stage. In addition, when harvesting the fruit, for example, it is necessary to stretch out the hand while standing up or squatting in order to harvest the fruit at the top of the grown stem and the fruit at the bottom of the stem. The worker must reach out to fruits of different heights on the grown stems and harvest them one by one.
When the harvested plants are cleared, the clips must be manually removed from the vertical strings and stems and collected.
In addition, the clip has a more complicated structure and a larger number of parts than a tie band, and therefore has a problem that it is not price competitive compared to a tie band.

  In this way, in the attracting tool that supports the stem of the plant on the vertical string, not only can the plant stem be supported without being damaged, but also it can be supported firmly on the vertical string, further reducing the burden on the operator There is a potential need for what can be done.

  The attracting tool according to the present invention is an attracting tool for supporting a plant stem on a vertical string, a vertical axis extending in the vertical direction along the vertical string, a twist part formed on the vertical axis, And a hanging portion formed under the vertical axis, and the twisted portion is entangled with the vertical cord and the vertical cord is fastened to the vertical cord by hanging the hanging portion. Hold the plant stem.

  Preferably, the hanging part formed under the vertical axis part has a hook shape and is bent with respect to the vertical axis part.

  Preferably, the hanging part is bent forward with respect to the vertical axis part, and the twist part formed on the vertical axis part is folded back left and right on the front side of the vertical axis part. It is good to have.

  Preferably, by twisting and bending the upper end portion of the long-axis-shaped metal wire that can be bent into a twist shape and folding the lower end portion, the twist portion and the hanging portion are vertically above and below the longitudinal axis portion. It is good to form a part.

  The cultivation shelf according to the present invention includes a plurality of vertical strings provided side by side when planted with plant stems, and a plurality of attracting tools according to any one of claims 1 to 4, which are fastened to the plurality of vertical strings. The stem is supported in an inclined posture by a plurality of attracting tools attached to the plurality of vertical strings.

In these devices, the operator can easily and firmly attach the attracting tool to the vertical cord with one hand by entwining the twist portion with the vertical cord and hanging the hanging portion on the vertical cord. And by pinching the plant stalk between the attracting tool and the vertical string, the plant stalk can be stably supported with respect to the vertical string. Moreover, since the attracting tool sandwiches the plant stem between the vertical strings, it is difficult to damage the plant stem.
In these devices, since the twist portion and the hanging portion of the attracting tool do not sandwich the vertical string, the attracting tool is not fixed to the vertical string. Therefore, compared to the above-described tie band, loop band, clip, etc., not only the workability of attaching the attracting tool to the vertical string is improved as described above, but also the workability of reattachment and recovery workability. Improved. Further, the harvesting workability can be improved.
Thus, in the device according to the present application, it is possible to firmly support the vertical string while preventing the plant stem from being damaged, and to reduce the burden on the operator.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an attracting tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the attracting tool 1 of FIG.
The attracting tool 1 is used to support the plant stem on the vertical string 21.
The attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1 includes a vertical axis 3 extending in the vertical direction along a vertical string 21, a twist part 2 formed on the vertical axis 3, and a hook formed below the vertical axis 3. Part 4.
Moreover, the vertical string 21 to which the attracting tool 1 is attached is illustrated in FIG. 1 by a dotted line.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an example of a method for manufacturing the attracting tool 1 of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1 can be manufactured from a single straight metal wire 10. The metal wire 10 is desirably thick enough to be bent by hand, and may be a long cylindrical shape having a diameter of 2 to 5 mm, for example. Further, the metal wire 10 in FIG. 3 is covered with a covering portion 15 made of a resin material such as vinyl resin. By covering the metal wire 10 with a resin material, an appropriate slip characteristic can be obtained when the attracting tool 1 is attached to the vertical cord 21.

  Then, the upper part of the straight metal wire 10 in FIG. 3A is bent so as to be folded left and right on the front side of the straight metal wire 10 as shown in FIG. 3B. 3B is a first bent portion 11 bent downward from the upper end of the vertical axis portion 3 to the left front side, and further bent downward from the tip of the first bent portion 11 to the right front side. Second bent portion 12. Thereby, the twist part 2 bent so as to be folded back left and right on the front side of the straight metal wire 10 is formed on the straight metal wire 10. The twist part 2 is located on the front side of the vertical axis part 3. The tip of the second bent portion 12 bent to the right side with respect to the twist portion 2 protrudes to the right side from the vertical axis portion 3. The second bent portion 12 of the twist portion 2 intersects the vertical axis portion 3. Further, the twist portion 2 formed at the upper end of the vertical axis portion 3 is bent so that the whole is positioned below the upper end of the vertical axis portion 3.

  Further, the lower end of the straight metal wire 10 in FIG. 3A is folded upward as shown in FIG. Thereby, the hook-shaped hanging part 4 is formed. 3 (C) includes a third bent portion 13 extending downward from the lower end of the vertical axis portion 3 and a fourth bent portion 14 bent upward at the lower end of the third bent portion 13. And having. The fourth bent portion 14 is folded to the left side of the third bent portion 13. Further, the third bent portion 13 of the hanging portion 4 is bent forward with respect to the vertical axis portion 3. The bending angle of the third bent portion 13 with respect to the vertical axis portion 3 may be, for example, 10 to 60 degrees.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the vertical axis portion 3 is formed between the twist portion 2 and the hanging portion 4 by the remaining portion of the metal wire 10 extending in the vertical direction. The vertical axis 3 in FIG. 3C has a straight line shape. The vertical axis 3 may be curved in the front-rear direction so that the center thereof is on the rear side from the upper and lower ends, for example.

  Thus, the attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1 can be formed by bending the long shaft-shaped metal wire 10. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture the attracting tool 1 at a very low cost by reducing the man-hours for manufacturing the attracting tool 1 and the cost of the attracting tool 1. Compared to the tie band 51, an equally inexpensive price can be realized.

  Moreover, the operator can fine-tune the shape of the attracting tool 1 at the time of use by using what can be bent manually as the metal wire 10 of a long shaft shape. For example, the operator can bend the vertical axis 3 to make the stem more difficult to damage. Further, the operator can adjust the load at which the attracting tool 1 starts to slide with respect to the vertical cord 21 by adjusting the amount of protrusion of the twist portion 2 to the front.

FIG. 4 is a procedure explanatory diagram of an attaching operation for attaching the attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1 to the vertical cord 21.
When attaching the attracting tool 1 to the vertical cord 21, the operator holds the longitudinal axis 3 of the attracting tool 1 with the fingertip of one hand as shown in FIG. Then, the wrist is twisted so that the twist portion 2 is on the lower side, and the tip of the twist portion 2 is put on the rear side of the vertical cord 21. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the attracting tool 1 is pulled forward, and the vertical string 21 is hung on the bent portion of the twist portion 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), the wrist is returned while the vertical string 21 is hung on the twist portion 2. Thereby, the vertical string 21 is entangled with the twist part 2 in the state twisted and bent in the front-rear direction. Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, the hook-shaped hanging part 4 is pulled forward, and the vertical string 21 is hung on the rear side of the hanging part 4.
Thus, the attracting tool 1 is fastened to the vertical string 21 by entwining the twisted part 2 and the hanging part 4 while entwining the vertical string 21.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the procedure for supporting the plant stem 31 by the attracting tool 1 attached to the vertical string 21.

  When supporting the plant stem 31 on the attracting tool 1 attached to the vertical cord 21, the operator lifts the hanging portion 4 from the vertical cord 21 as shown in FIG. A gap is made between the vertical cord 21. Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the stem 31 is inserted into the gap between the vertical axis 3 and the vertical cord 21 from below. Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the hook-shaped hanging portion 4 is pulled forward, and the vertical string 21 is hung again on the rear side of the hanging portion 4. By releasing the hand from the attracting tool 1 in this state, the stem 31 is sandwiched between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical cord 21. The plant stem 31 is supported by the vertical string 21.

As described above, the operator can attach the attracting tool 1 to the vertical string 21 with one hand. Further, without removing the attracting tool 1 attached to the vertical cord 21 from the vertical cord 21, the stem 31 can be inserted between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical cord 21 to support the stem 31 with respect to the vertical cord 21. .
Thus, the attracting tool 1 fastened to the vertical string 21 can sandwich the plant stem 31 between the vertical string 21.

  The hanging portion 4 that protrudes downward from the lower end of the vertical axis portion 3 has a hook shape and is bent forward with respect to the vertical axis portion 3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, a gap due to the pocket of the attracting tool 1 is formed between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical string 21, and for example, a thick stem 31 such as a tomato stem 31 is also shown in FIG. ), The hanging part 4 or the vertical axis part 3 of the attracting tool 1 is not strongly pressed against the stem 31. Even if the stem 31 is sandwiched between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical cord 21, the stem 31 is hardly damaged. Moreover, even if the stem 31 grows and grows or becomes thick, it can be prevented from being hindered.

  In addition, since the stem 31 is placed on the U-shaped bottom formed by the hook-shaped hanging portion 4 and the vertical string 21 hung on the tip thereof, the attracting tool 1 is fixed to the vertical string 21. Or the stem 31 can be stabilized with respect to the vertical string 21 by utilizing the weight of the stem 31 well, although the stem 31 is not pinched by the attracting tool 1. Even if the stem 31 sways due to wind or the like, the attracting tool 1 and the stem 31 do not deviate from the vertical string 21.

  Further, the twist portion 2 protruding from the upper end of the vertical axis portion 3 extends to the front side of the vertical axis portion 3 in the same manner as the hanging portion 4 protruding from the lower end of the vertical axis portion 3. Therefore, the vertical string 21 entangled with the twist part 2 is bent forward in the twist part 2 as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. As a result, the gap between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical string 21 expands with a substantially constant width in the vertical direction, and expands more than when only the hanging portion 4 is bent forward. As a result, even when the thick stems 31 are supported or the stems 31 are supported with the stems 31 standing, the vertical cords 21 are less likely to stick around the stems 31 and are not easily damaged.

  Moreover, since the vertical string 21 entangled with the twist portion 2 cannot be wound around the metal wire 10 of the twist portion 2 as shown in FIG. 2, as in the case where it is wound around the metal wire 10 of the twist portion 2. Not in close contact. The contact area between the twist part 2 and the vertical string 21 can be suppressed, and the load at which the twist part 2 starts to slide relative to the vertical string 21 can be suppressed low. In addition, the load at the beginning of the slip is less likely to be affected by variations in the shape of the twist portion 2 and the like. It can be adjusted so that the beginning of slipping is optimal in combination with the vertical string 21. As a result, the load at which the twist portion 2 starts to slide with respect to the vertical cord 21 can be made low and stable. For this reason, for example, the load at which the twist portion 2 starts to slide with respect to the vertical string 21 can be set to a load slightly smaller than the weight of the stem 31 in a state where the fruit 32 has grown in the target plant. The attracting tool 1 can be automatically lowered with the weight of. Since the attracting tool 1 is automatically lowered, the operator does not have to push down the stem 31 himself. Moreover, the grown fruit 32 can be collect | recovered collectively in the lower part of the vertical string 21, and a harvesting operation becomes easy.

  Further, the attracting tool 1 is not fixed to the vertical string 21 so as to hold the vertical string 21. Therefore, the operator can easily remove the attracting tool 1 from the vertical cord 21 with one hand by performing the procedure of FIG. 4 in the reverse order. Further, the operator can easily attach the attracting tool 1 detached from the vertical string 21 to the vertical string 21 with one hand. Further, the operator can adjust the supporting height of the stem by holding the attracting tool 1 supporting the stem 31 in his / her hand and shifting it vertically along the vertical cord 21. The support height of the stem 31 can be easily adjusted without removing the attracting tool 1 from the vertical string 21 or attaching the removed attracting tool 1 to the vertical string 21 again. Without damaging the stem 31, the height position of the attracting tool 1 can be easily adjusted according to the growth of the plant.

  Further, when cleaning up the plant, the operator can easily remove the attracting tool 1 from the vertical string 21 and collect it simply by loosening the tension of the vertical string 21 or removing the vertical string 21 from the attracting tool 1. .

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the cultivation shelf 41 using the attracting tool 1 of FIG.
The cultivation shelf 41 of FIG. 6 is used for cultivation of tomatoes, for example, and is vertically disposed between an upper string 42 and a lower string 43 that are horizontally stretched between support columns (not shown), and between the upper string 42 and the lower string 43. 1 and a plurality of attracting tools 1 of FIG. 1 fastened to the plurality of vertical strings 21. Further, on the upper side of the lower string 43, a horizontal string 44 is stretched between the above-described columns not shown. The horizontal string 44 intersects with the plurality of vertical strings 21 but is not connected to the plurality of vertical strings 21.

  The cultivation shelf 41 is erected around, for example, a place where tomato seedlings are planted. The plurality of vertical cords 21 are provided to be separated from each other, for example, at seedling cultivation intervals. Thus, a plurality of vertical strings 21 are provided side by side when plant stems 31 are planted.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), when the stalk 31 of the seedling grows to a height slightly exceeding the horizontal string 44, the operator tilts the stalk 31 diagonally to the right and uses the attracting tool 1 of FIG. Attach the string 44 to the string 44 with the attracting tool 1. As a result, the stem 31 grows diagonally to the right.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the stem 31 grows diagonally and crosses the vertical string 21 on the right side, the grown stem 31 is crossed using the attracting tool 1 of FIG. It is tied to the lower part of the vertical string 21 that is being used. When the stem 31 is further extended, as shown in FIG. 6C, the attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1 is used to further support the central portion of the vertical string 21 on the right side. In this way, by supporting the stem 31 with the vertical string 21 in accordance with the growth of the stem 31, the stem 31 grown obliquely is unlikely to break. The growth of the stem 31 can be aided.

  Moreover, in FIG. 6, the extended stem 31 is supported by the vertical cord 21 on the right side as the stem 31 extends. The stem 31 is attached to the plurality of vertical strings 21 by the plurality of attracting tools 1 and is supported in an oblique posture inclined to the right as a whole.

  In this manner, the stem 31 bears fruit while the stem 31 is supported in an obliquely inclined posture, and the fruit 32 grows. And if the fruit 32 becomes large, as shown in FIG.6 (D), each attracting tool 1 will slide down from the original attachment position of the vertical string 21 with the weight of the fruit 32. FIG. Moreover, each attracting tool 1 attached to the horizontal string 44 can move to the left and right along the horizontal string 44 when the stem 31 is lowered. Thus, by using the attracting tool 1 of FIG. 1, the attracting tool 1 and the stem 31 are automatically lowered by the weight of the fruit 32. The operator does not need to remove the attracting tool 1 himself and lower the stem 31 to reattach the attracting tool 1. The labor of adjusting the height of the stem 31 can be saved.

Further, the attracting tool 1 lowered by the weight of the fruit 32 stops near the horizontal string 44. Thereby, the grown fruit 32 concentrates near the lower part of the vertical string 21. The operator can efficiently harvest the fruits 32 grown by a plurality of seedlings by moving along the horizontal string 44.
As described above, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the operator entangles the twist portion 2 with the vertical cord 21 and hangs the hanging portion 4 on the vertical cord 21. On the other hand, the attracting tool 1 can be easily and firmly attached with one hand (improvement in attachment workability). Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the plant stalk 31 is sandwiched between the vertical cord 21 and the vertical axis portion 3 so that the plant stalk 31 is stably supported with respect to the vertical cord 21 or the horizontal cord 44. be able to. Moreover, since the plant stem 31 is sandwiched between the vertical cord 21 or the horizontal cord 44 and the vertical axis portion 3, the plant stem 31 is hardly damaged.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the twist part 2 or the hanging part 4 of the attracting tool 1 does not sandwich the vertical string 21 or the horizontal string 44, it is not fixed to the vertical string 21 or the horizontal string 44. Therefore, the operator can easily remove the attracting tool 1 from the vertical string 21 or the horizontal string 44 and reattach it, or can easily move the attracting tool 1 up and down along the vertical string 21 or the horizontal string 44. The position of the attracting tool 1 can be easily adjusted according to the growth of the plant without damaging the stem 31.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, when the stem 31 is supported diagonally with respect to the vertical string 21 of the cultivation shelf 41, the attracting tool 1 attached to the vertical string 21 automatically grows along with the stem 31 as the fruit 32 grows. The grown fruit 32 automatically gathers at the lower part of the vertical string 21, so that the worker can easily grow the grown fruit 32 on the horizontal string 44 near the lower part of the vertical string 21 without standing up or squatting. Can be harvested. The time and effort during harvesting can be greatly reduced.

  In order to clean up the harvested plants, the operator simply loosens the tension of the vertical cord 21 or the horizontal cord 44 or simply pulls out the vertical cord 21 or the horizontal cord 44 from the attracting tool 1. The attracting tool 1 can be removed from the horizontal string 44, and the used attracting tool 1 can be easily collected.

  Thus, in this embodiment, not only the attachment workability of the attracting tool 1 can be improved, but also the reattachment workability of the attracting tool 1, the harvesting workability of the attracting tool 1, and the recovery workability of the attracting tool 1 are improved. can do. As a result, the burden on the operator is greatly reduced.

[First comparative example]
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a first comparative example showing a state in which a plant stem 31 is attached to the vertical string 21 using a tie band 51.
The tie band 51 can support the plant stem 31 on the vertical string 21 by winding the tie band 51 around the plant stem 31 and the vertical string 21 and then twisting both ends.
In this case, the plant stem 31 is fastened together with the vertical string 21 by the tie band 51. For this reason, the stem 31 is rubbed with the tie band 51 or the vertical string 21 and easily damaged.
Further, the attaching operation, the reattaching operation, and the collecting operation of the tie band 51 are time-consuming. Even if the stem 31 is obliquely attached to the cultivation shelf 41 as shown in FIG. 6, in order to adjust the height position of the stem 31, the twisted tie band 51 is opened and the stem at a new position. 31 and the vertical string 21 are overlapped, and the tie band 51 needs to be wound and fastened. The worker needs to keep the stem 31 down manually by himself until the harvest is finished.

[Second Comparative Example]
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a second comparative example showing a state in which the plant stem 31 is attached to the vertical string 21 using the clip 61.
The clip 61 sandwiches the plant stem 31 with the vertical string 21 sandwiched between the bases of the clip 61, thereby supporting the stem 31 on the vertical string 21.
In this case, the operator must work so as to hold the plant stem 31 with the clip 61 while paying attention to the relative position between the clip 61 and the vertical string 21 so as to hold the vertical string 21 at the base of the clip 61. I must. Further, when the position of the clip 61 is changed or the clip 61 is recovered, the clips 61 must be opened one by one and removed from the vertical cord 21 and the stem 31. The attachment work, the reattachment work, and the collection work of the clip 61 require labor for each work. Even if the stem 31 is attached obliquely to the cultivation shelf 41 as shown in FIG. 6, in order to adjust the height position of the stem 31, the clip 61 is removed from the vertical cord 21 and further clipped at a new position. 61, the vertical string 21 and the stem 31 must be sandwiched. The worker needs to keep the stem 31 down manually by himself until the harvest is finished.

  The above embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications or changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, in the said embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the attracting tool 1 is formed by bending the linear metal wire 10 of a linear shape.
In addition, for example, the attracting tool 1 may be formed of a plastic material or wood. The plastic material can be formed into a shape of the attracting tool 1 by injection molding or the like.
Further, the metal wire 10 may have a polygonal shape. In the polygonal metal wire 10, the contact with the stem 31 can be prevented from becoming strong by making the polygonal shape not less than a square but a pentagon or more, for example. Moreover, by making the metal wire 10 into a polygonal shape instead of a columnar shape, the area where the vertical cord 21 wound around the metal wire 10 contacts the metal wire 10 can be changed stepwise by adjusting the twist portion 2. . It becomes easy to finely adjust the load at which the attracting tool 1 starts to slide with respect to the vertical cord 21.

In the said embodiment, the twist part 2 of the attracting tool 1 has the shape bent so that it might be folded in right and left in the front side of the vertical-axis part 3, as shown in FIGS.
In addition, for example, the twist portion 2 may have a spiral shape that is rounded and bent spirally on the front side of the longitudinal axis portion 3. In this case, the twist part 2 is good to form in circular arc shape about 3/4 of a circumference, for example. Thereby, the twist part 2 is folded back left and right on the front side of the vertical axis part 3, and its tip protrudes to the right side from the vertical axis part 3.
In addition, the twist portion 2 may be formed, for example, in a shape in which a cylindrical spring is stretched or bent in a zigzag shape, and extended upward from the upper end of the vertical axis portion 3.
Thus, even when the twist part 2 extends upward from the upper end of the vertical axis part 3, the vertical string 21 is entangled with the twist part 2 by twisting or bending the twist part 2. Can do. However, when the vertical string 21 is entangled with the twist part 2 extending upward from the vertical axis part 3 in this way, the vertical string 21 is entangled around the metal wire 10 of the twist part 2, so that the contact area increases, and the fruit Due to the load of 32, the attracting tool 1 is difficult to slide down automatically. Further, the vertical string 21 is easily detached from the twist portion 2 due to the load of the fruit 32. Moreover, when the twist part 2 is extended to the front side of the vertical axis | shaft part 3, the vertical string 21 wound around the twist part 2 will be bent so that it may leave | separate from the vertical axis part 3, as shown in FIG. When the twist part 2 extends upward from the vertical axis part 3, it is difficult to separate the vertical cord 21 from the vertical axis part 3 by the twist part 2. When the stem 31 is sandwiched between the vertical cord 21 and the attracting tool 1, the vertical cord 21 is wrapped around the stem 31.

In the said embodiment, the vertical axis | shaft part 3 of the attracting tool 1 has a linear cylindrical shape.
In addition, for example, the vertical axis portion 3 may have a flat plate shape.
The vertical axis 3 may be curved. And the pocket of the attracting tool 1 can be expanded by curving the vertical axis | shaft part 3 so that a center part may become a rear side from the upper and lower ends.

In the said embodiment, the plant stem 31 is put between the attracting tool 1 and the vertical string 21.
In addition, for example, a hook portion may be provided on the vertical axis portion 3 and the stem 31 may be hung on the hook portion. However, in this case, since the stem 31 does not get on the U-shaped bottom formed by the hook-shaped hanging portion 4 and the vertical string 21 hung on the tip thereof, the weight of the stem 31 can be improved. It is difficult to stabilize the attracting tool 1 and the stalk 31 with respect to the vertical string 21 by utilizing the above.

In the above embodiment, the hanging portion 4 of the attracting tool 1 has a hook shape and is bent forward with respect to the longitudinal axis portion 3.
In addition to this, for example, the hanging portion 4 may have a ring shape, and the vertical string 21 may be hung in the ring.
Moreover, the hanging part 4 may have a U-shaped part or V-shaped part opened forward, for example, and the vertical string 21 may be hung on the U-shaped part or V-shaped part opened forward. Even in this case, the hanging portion 4 is not fixed with respect to the vertical string 21 with the vertical string 21 interposed therebetween, so that the vertical sliding is not hindered.
In addition, the hanging portion 4 may extend straight below the vertical axis portion 3 and may not be bent forward.

  In the above embodiment, the fourth bent portion 14 of the hanging portion 4 is folded to the left side of the third bent portion 13. In addition to this, for example, the fourth bent portion 14 may be folded to the right side of the third bent portion 13. However, in this case, the twist portion 2 may be bent in the opposite direction in the left-right direction of FIG. As a result, the direction in which the tip of the twist portion 2 protrudes and the direction in which the fourth bent portion 14 is bent can be opposite to each other in the left-right direction of the vertical axis portion 3, and the same procedure as in FIG. The attracting tool 1 can be attached to the vertical cord 21 with one hand.

  In the said embodiment, the twist part 2 of the attracting tool 1 was bent so that the angle which the part 2 and the vertical axis | shaft part 3 make may become an acute angle (FIG. 2). However, the degree of bending may be changed so that the angle formed by the twist portion 2 and the vertical axis portion 3 is close to 90 degrees. Here, when the angle formed by the twist part 2 and the vertical axis part 3 is narrowed, the holding force of the attracting tool 1 is weakened, and when the angle formed by the twist part 2 and the vertical axis part 3 is widened, the holding force of the attracting tool 1 is strengthened. . Therefore, the holding force of the attracting tool 1 can be adjusted by changing the bending angle of the twist portion 2.

  In the said embodiment, the 3rd bending part 13 is extended in the direction which inclined slightly from the lower end of the vertical axis | shaft part 3 of the attracting tool 1, and it was bent by the U shape in the front-end | tip of the 3rd bending part 13. The fourth bent portion 14 was opposed to the third bent portion 13 in parallel (FIG. 3C). However, you may bend | fold so that the 4th bending part 14 may face the direction orthogonal to the vertical axis | shaft part 3. FIG. If it does in this way, when the stem 31 is supported by the attracting tool 1, the stem 31 can be made hard to be damaged.
