Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a root wrapping material for plants.

(Prior art) Traditionally, the roots of plants have been wrapped in straw to prevent the soil from falling, but this root-wrapping work is extremely troublesome and takes a long time when wrapping the roots of a large number of plants. It was hot.

In addition, when wrapping with straw, the roots are unnecessarily engulfed, and there are drawbacks such as poor compatibility with the surrounding soil until the straw rots.

Furthermore, the reality is that it has recently become difficult to obtain straw materials in the suburbs of large cities.

(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks,
To provide a material for wrapping roots of plants, which is extremely easy to wrap around the roots of plants, is excellent in mass production of materials, and is free from any risk of cost increase.

(Structure of the invention) The present invention creates a net-like elastic cylindrical knitted fabric using a large number of warp knitted strips chain-knitted with cotton threads and an elastic yarn coated with cotton yarn that communicates between each warp knitted strip. The opening edge of the knitted fabric is widened and the roots of the plant are inserted to wrap around the roots. This allows for secure root wrapping.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
In the figure, 1 indicates a plant and 2 indicates a root. 3 shows a net-like stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric, which is formed into a net-like shape by a large number of warp knitted strips 4 chain-knitted with cotton yarn and an elastic yarn 5 coated with cotton yarn that communicates between each warp knitted strip 4. organized into.

By opening one end of the long stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 formed as described above, inserting the root 2 of the plant 1 through one opening and cutting the lower end, the roots can be easily wrapped. can do. in this case,
The elastic cylindrical knitted fabric 3 has extremely high elasticity in the diametrical direction due to the elastic yarns 5 connected between each warp knitted body 4, and the entire root part 2 along with the soil attached to the roots is absorbed from the surroundings. It can definitely be tied down. In addition, the upper edge of the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is narrowed, and the base 1a of the trunk is tied.
Moreover, since the cut edge at the lower end of the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is reduced, it is possible to accurately prevent soil from falling.

As a means for inserting the root portion 2 into the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3, an apparatus A as shown in FIG. 2 can be used, for example. This device A consists of a cylindrical body 6 into which the root 2 of a plant 1 can be inserted, and a shaft 7 that supports it. This prevents dirt, moisture, etc. from accumulating inside. As shown in FIG. 3A, the long stretchable tubular knitted fabric 3 is inserted into the shaft 7 so as to be stocked 9, and is pulled up by the tubular body 6 so as to be gradually expanded. The upper end is set so as to cover the opening of the cylindrical body 6. When the root part 2 is inserted from above in this state, the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is pulled up along the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 6 as shown in FIG. 3B, and the opening edge 3a of the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is It is pushed into the inner bottom of the cylindrical body 6. In this case, since the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 has a net shape, even if it gets caught in the fine roots of the root 2, only the root 2 does not pass through the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3, and the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 will be raised appropriately in sequence. When the root part 2 is pulled out from the cylindrical body 6 in this state, the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is folded back at the opening edge of the cylindrical body 6, and the root part 2 is wrapped in a double net, as shown in FIG. 3C. Then,
Allows for more accurate root wrapping.

In this state, the lower end of the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 can be cut 10.
The stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is set in the state shown in FIG. The support portion 8 is formed with a curve so that the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 does not get caught, and the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body 6 is formed into a surface on which the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 easily slides. has been done.

When knitting the stretchable tubular knitted fabric 3 as described above, it is necessary to devise a method so that it can be knitted using a normal warp knitting machine.

Therefore, in the embodiment, a configuration as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 was adopted. That is, a plurality of warp knitted strips 4 are knitted by chain knitting using cotton yarn on both sides of a double-sided warp knitting machine, and at the same time several to several dozen of these warp knitted strips 4 are connected in a zigzag manner. The cotton thread-covered elastic yarn 5 is knitted in the same manner. In this case, each zigzag folded part 11 of the elastic yarn 5 intersects with the folded part 11' of the adjacent elastic yarn 5 at one point, or is placed one point next to the folded part 11 to form a continuous diamond shape. Further, a similar knitted fabric is knitted on the back side of this, and the tissue is connected at both ears.
The stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 knitted in this manner draws a continuous rhombus shape with zigzag elastic yarns 5 over its entire circumference. When the elastic yarn 5 is traced around the circumference of the tube, the overall result is a knitted fabric in which the elastic yarn 5 appears to be knitted in two types of spirals, one clockwise and one counterclockwise.

Stretchable tubular knitted fabric 3 knitted as above
can be made into a knitted fabric that has great elasticity in the diametrical direction and does not have much elasticity in the axial direction, and the warp knitted body 4 is made of cotton yarn, and the elastic yarn 5 is covered with cotton yarn. Both of them are easy to rot in the soil, so they are ideal for wrapping the roots of plants 1.
Moreover, since the stretchable cylindrical knitted fabric 3 is in the form of a net, the roots from the root part 2 can easily spread, and can be adapted to the surrounding soil more quickly.

(Effect of the invention) According to the root wrapping material of the present invention, a net-like structure is formed by a large number of warp-knitted strips chain-knitted with cotton threads and an elastic yarn coated with cotton yarn that communicates between each warp-knitted strip. The elastic cylindrical knitted fabric is knitted, and the opening edge is widened and the roots of the plants are inserted to wrap around the roots. It is easier to work with than the elastic tubular knitted fabric, and since most of the material of the elastic tubular knitted fabric is cotton yarn, it is highly corrosive.Also, the elastic tubular knitted fabric has a net shape, so it does not damage the soil around the roots. It adapts well to the soil, making it ideal as a root wrapping material for this type of plant.
