Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a transportation system for transplanting trees that, when the roots of a tree are dug out, is sandwiched between two E-shaped side frames from both sides, and the two sides are connected to secure the tree. Regarding improvement of tools.

Traditionally, when transporting and transplanting a tree, perhaps to save the effort of digging out the tree's roots, the tree's roots were casually cut and shaken, the roots were rolled around, fine roots were twisted, and the area surrounding the roots was cut off and shaken. The roots are dug out by rough digging, such as by twisting off the thin roots, and then the roots are wrapped around them with straw mats, and a rope is hung over them, and the roots are propped up, laid down, or pulled. During the printing, loading, and transportation work, it was common to transport the materials in any manner that was convenient. As a result, even if the branches were carefully pruned and the trees planted at the transplant site, they would not take root and die, or even if they did take root, they would be so lifeless that it would be difficult to restore normal activity.

Under these circumstances, the demand for street trees, landscaping, etc. has increased recently, and these requests are required regardless of the season.As a result, the bark is often damaged during transplanting, which causes uneven rooting of transplanted trees. This is the reason why the activity may not be restored for a long time.

In view of this situation, we have developed a protective frame A that combines E-shaped side frames to prevent damage to tree roots, branches, leaves, and bark.
He previously filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-93000) for a transportation device that was devised to reduce the weight exerted on tree roots, branches, and leaves.

The present invention is an improved version of this transportation device. First, as explained in Fig. 1, when a tree is dug up, the upper, middle, and lower horizontal frames are removed. E with one end of members 3, 3', 4, 4', 5, 5' attached
The side frames 1 and 1' of the tree are sandwiched symmetrically and parallel to each other from both sides of the tree, and the lower horizontal frame members 3 and 3' of the E-shaped side frame are placed so as to hold the bottom of the roots of the tree from both sides. The upper and lower horizontal frame members 3,
The root portions of 3' and 5, 5' are connected and fixed at both ends of the connecting frame members 6, 7, respectively, to form a tree carrier having a U-shaped frame. Next, each middle row 4, 4'
On each pair of horizontal frame members of the upper stages 5 and 5', stem support frame rod members 11 and 12, on which both ends are placed, are movably placed, and each pair of horizontal frame members 4,
4', 5, and 5', there are many fasteners on each of the middle and upper horizontal frame members, so that they can be moved to any desired position and tightened to the position where they come into contact with the tree. 13, 13' and 14, 14' are provided on the upper tier, and hooks 15, 15' and 16, 16' for securing ropes, chains, etc. are provided at the tips of the lower and upper horizontal frame members. This is a transporting device for transplanted trees that can be attached to the vehicle.

When handling a tree to which this transplant tree carrier is attached, the hooks 15, 15' and 16,
Hanging it at 16' and gradually rolling it over backwards,
The entire connecting frame member 6, which connects and fixes the bases of the pair of lower horizontal frame members 3 and 3' of the carrier, serves as a fulcrum and rotates to tilt the carrier laterally.
Meanwhile, as the work to dig up the remaining roots continues, the tree falls on its side while assisting in the work of pulling out the roots. (Figure 6 shows a diagram of a tree falling sideways) What is important in this case is that since the tree is fixed at two points, the roots and branches are balanced on both sides with the trunk at the contact point at these points. arise,
The roots will float up, and you won't have to worry about the branches and leaves being pushed to the ground by their own weight and becoming distorted or broken. Furthermore, if the tree can be laid down in this way, it is extremely easy to trim the roots, branches, leaves, etc. of the tree, adjust the felling, and wrap the roots, and there is no fear that the tree will break due to shaking during transportation.

However, this transportation device has the disadvantage that it is necessary to select a transportation device of a size that is suitable for the size of the tree, and even if it is selected in this way, the position of the upper horizontal frame members 5, 5' is When a tree touches a branch and ends up in a collision position, or even if it is not in a collision position, when the tree falls on its side, its own weight is shifted to support the roots and branches in equilibrium, often resulting in inconvenient defects. Divided.

Therefore, the present invention has devised the following improved tree transport tool for transplantation. That is, the three horizontal frame members 3, 3', 4, 4', and 5,
The excavated tree is sandwiched between two E-shaped side frames that are attached to one end of each 5', facing each other in parallel from both sides, and the lower horizontal frame members 3 and 3' are spaced so that they hold the bottom of the roots from both sides. A tree protection frame body in which the base parts 8, 8' and 10, 10' of the lower and upper horizontal frame members 3, 3' and 5, 5' are connected and fixed by connecting members 6, 7, respectively. At A, the vertical frame members 2, 2' are fitted between the middle and upper horizontal frame members 4, 4', 5, 5' so that the vertical frame members can be expanded and contracted mutually as upper and lower separated frame members. This tree transport tool for transplantation allows the intervals between horizontal frame members 4, 4', 5, and 5' to be freely fixed.

To explain this in detail with drawings, Figure 2 is a partially cutaway view of the E-type side frames 1, 1' of the present invention, in which the vertical frame members 2, 2' are replaced by the horizontal frame members 4, 4', 5,
Separate the upper and lower parts at arbitrary cutting lines C, C', C ₁ and C' ₁ between 5', and connect the lower separation frame member to the pipe material 2 ₁ ,
2' ₁ , the upper separation frame member is fitted as the core rod body 2 ₂ , 2' ₂ , and the upper and middle horizontal frame members 4, 4', 5,
Move the 5' interval to any position and attach the fasteners 25, 2.
Holes 26, 26' and holes 27, 27'(27' are omitted from the figure) are overlapped at 5'(25' is omitted from the figure) and fixed as shown in FIGS.

In this case, the core rod body and pipe body of the upper and lower separation frame members may be formed so that they fit vertically, but it is preferable to use the pipe body at the bottom and the core rod body at the top as described above. is convenient for flexible expansion and contraction. Further, this fitting may be such that only the both side edges of one of the separation frame members engage each other in a lug shape so that the upper and lower separation frame members overlap and slide up and down. Further, this fitting may be formed so that the rod body can expand and contract up and down with the pipe body using a thread.

Next, regarding the overlapping and fixing of holes 26, 26' and holes 27, 27' with fasteners 25, 25',
According to FIG. 3 (25', 26', 27' are omitted), in this figure, D- of the vertical frame members 2, 2'
FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view centered on line D'. Core rod body 2 ₂ ,
A large number of holes or depressions 27 are provided in the pipe body _2'2 .
₁ and 2' ₁ are provided with holes 26 and 26' on their front edges, and are fixed at arbitrary positions with fasteners such as screws or bolts 25 as shown in the drawings.

With this improvement in which the interval between the upper and middle horizontal frame members can be expanded and contracted, there is no need to provide multiple ranks of protective frames A to be selected depending on the size of the tree.
It is possible to make do with a very small number of types, and it is possible to set the upper horizontal frame members 5, 5' to avoid colliding with the branches and leaves of trees, and the horizontal frame members 5, 5' are By appropriately selecting the position, the roots and branches can be floated in a balanced and stable state around the trunk support frame members 11 and 12 when the tree is overturned due to transplanting work, transportation, etc. As a result, the dead weight applied to the roots, branches, and leaves can be reduced and damage to them can be prevented, and in particular, the selective cutting of roots, branches, and leaves of trees placed horizontally is facilitated, and the packaging of tree roots, etc. is convenient.

Regarding the specific use of this improved tree transportation device for transplantation, since trees vary in trunk height and thickness depending on their age, variety, growth level, etc., first we will use the E type of the proposed transportation device. The side frames 1, 1' are inserted at intervals such that the lower horizontal frame members 3, 3' hold the bottom of the root of the tree symmetrically and parallel to each other from both sides, and the upper horizontal frame members 5 are inserted. , 5' are fixed at an appropriate position by expanding and contracting the core rods 2 ₂ and 2' ₂ so that the tips of the rods 2 2 and 5' can be laid down almost in equilibrium without colliding with tree branches. . Next, a number of fasteners 13, 13' are provided on the horizontal frame members 4, 4'5, 5' so that the tree trunk support frame members 11, 12 can be fixed on the horizontal frame members in a position in contact with the trunk. , and 14, 14' are provided in parallel, thereby fixing the trunk support frame members 11, 12 at a position where they come into contact with the trunk. By firmly connecting the trunk and the trunk support frame members 11 and 12 at this position, the swinging movement of the trunk can be minimized, and the trunk support frame members 11 and 1
If the parts 2 are not tied together properly, the roots and branches may shake and break, and the bark at the point of contact between the trunk and the trunk support rod may be damaged, peeled off, or otherwise cut. This is an important packaging area. It is. In addition, anchoring tools 15, 15', 16, 16' are provided at the tips of the lower and upper horizontal frame members 3, 3', 5, 5',
With this, it is possible to connect the tree to a hoist and lay the tree horizontally behind the carrier as shown in Figure 6, and it is also convenient to transport the tree by placing it on a hanging carrier or the like. be. Anchoring tool 15, 15',
16, 16' are the lower and upper horizontal frame members 3,
At the tips of 3', 5, and 5', there is a fastening hole 1 suitable for mooring.
5, 15', 16, 16', and
As shown in Fig. 5, one end has a hole that overlaps with this fastening hole, and another tether 17 with a tether ring 18 provided at the other end is engaged, and the fastening hole and the hole are overlapped so that it can be freely rotated with a bolt. It may also be a fastener for mooring to. The carrying tool of this project is a forming tool depending on the size of the tree, that is,
The materials for the horizontal frame members, connecting frame members, trunk support frame members, etc. may be metal, wood, resin, etc. alone or in combination.The frame members are not only round bars but also bar-shaped materials such as square bars and angles. The rod-shaped material can be selected depending on the size and weight of the rod. This support member for supporting the middle trunk is not limited to hard materials such as frame rods, but can also be used in place of strings, ropes, and chains, and is suitable for young trees and other objects with low self-weight.
