Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a plant protection device that is mainly used when covering ornamental plants and the like with a sheet to protect them from cold air.

(Prior Art) Potted plants such as houseplants and plants are often brought indoors in the winter to avoid the cold air, even if they are grown outdoors in the summer. However, in many cases it is not possible to bring the plants indoors in the winter due to housing circumstances, and in such cases it is necessary to cover the entire plant with a sheet to avoid the negative effects of cold air.

Conventionally, when covering the entire plant with a sheet, the sheet was held in shape by lightly applying it over the plant supported by gardening supports.
Unreasonable force due to the weight of the sheet is applied to the branches and leaves of plants, which causes undesirable situations such as fallen leaves, broken branches, and even deformation of the branches.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a plant protection device that does not apply unreasonable force due to the weight of the sheet to the branches and leaves of the plant.

(Means for solving the problem) A means for solving the above problem is to attach a plurality of linear objects (for example, wires) to the cap attached to the tip of the gardening support that supports the plant. The purpose is to hold the sheet by these linear bodies so that the sheet does not come into contact with the plant and retain its shape.

(Function) According to the above means, the weight of the sheet is supported by the plurality of linear bodies, and the shape of the sheet is maintained by the plurality of linear bodies so as not to touch the plants. The conventional undesirable situation will not occur.

(Example) The support 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is molded from synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, and has a cap 1
A plurality of insertion holes 2 are provided at equiangular intervals around the periphery. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the cap 1 is provided with a hole 11 into which the tip of a gardening support, which will be described later, is fitted.

FIG. 3 shows the insertion hole 2 of the support 100 mentioned above.
A linear body 200 inserted into the is shown. This linear body 200 is made of a hard steel wire that can be deformed manually but has relatively high bending strength. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a coating layer 220 made of synthetic resin is applied to a metal core 210 to prevent rust. coated steel wire is used.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the tip of a gardening support 300 is fitted into the hole 11 of the cap 1, and the base end of the linear body 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 2 provided in the cap 1. As is clear from FIG. 6, the gardening support 300 in this case supports the trunk of the potted plant P to prevent it from tipping over, and is erected in the pot V. In the same figure, 400 indicates a sheet, and generally a translucent synthetic resin sheet is used, but a thinner synthetic resin film is also used as the sheet 400.
include. This sheet 400 is made into a bag with the lower end open and is placed over the entire plant P. In that case,
The top of the bag-shaped sheet 400 is connected to the plant P by a plurality of linear bodies 200 attached to the support 100.
It is supported so that it does not come into contact with the body, and its shape is maintained. In this way, the plants P are protected from direct exposure to cold air outdoors. Moreover, the weight of the sheet 400 is
Since the sheet 400 does not touch the plants P, there is no risk of falling leaves or deformation of broken branches or branches caused by the sheet 400 touching the plants P.

Although the sheet 400 may be a wrapping cloth-like sheet shaped into a bag, it is preferable to use a sheet that has been processed into a bag shape in advance, as shown in FIG. When using such a sheet 400, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower end of the sheet 400 is squeezed and tied to the pot V using a binding device 410 such as a rubber ring or string. By doing so, there is no risk of the sheet 400 being blown away by the wind, and the plants are reliably protected from the cold. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, if a part of the sheet 400 is torn off and the part is configured to be detachable using a fastener 420, it is convenient to cover and remove the sheet 400. Not only that, but it also makes it easier to irrigate after covering.

In the above, the linear body 200 is basically used by being curved in an arch shape as shown in FIG.
It may be used by bending it into other shapes.
The point is, when the plurality of linear bodies 200 are inserted into the insertion holes 2 of the support 100 and held, what shape can be used if the sheet 400 can be supported and shaped like a bag without touching the plant P? You can.

It goes without saying that the sheet 400 shown in FIG. 6 is removed in the summer, and the support 100 is also removed from the gardening support 300 as necessary.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above, the plant protection device of the invention uses gardening supports that support the plants, so when you want to protect the plants from cold air, Not only does it eliminate the need to put up a pole next to the seat to support the sheet, but by putting up another pole, it can damage the nutrient soil in the flower pot and tear off the plant roots, which can have a negative impact on the plants. It has the effect of eliminating things. Since the sheet is supported in a bag-like manner by the plurality of linear bodies, the weight of the sheet is added to the branches and leaves of the plant, making it difficult for the situation to occur such as fallen leaves, broken branches, and deformation of the branches. The sheet covers the entire plant, ensuring that the plant is protected from the cold.

Further, the support of the protection device can be conveniently attached to the gardening support only when necessary, and can be removed from the gardening support together with the linear body and sheet when it is not needed. Furthermore, since the linear body is inserted into the insertion hole of the support 100 and held, there is an advantage that the linear body can be deformed by being removed from the support.
