Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a jig for fixing an irrigation tube installed on the ground so that it does not move easily.

[Prior art]

When cultivating vegetables and garden plants using an irrigation tube, the irrigation tube is installed along the ground. By the way, when the irrigation tube is actually irrigating by applying water pressure, it is heavy and stable, but when it is not applying water pressure and is not irrigating, the tube becomes flat and weighs less. Therefore, when the wind blows, it gets blown away or twisted.
Of course, when expanding from a flat shape by applying water pressure, it often gets twisted. In cases like this, conventionally, people had to manually return it to its original position or correct the twist. However, such work is not only complicated, but also takes up valuable time and manpower, causing a decline in profitability.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In view of the current situation, the present inventor devised a jig for fixing irrigation tubes installed on the ground, in order to prevent the above-mentioned damage caused by wind, improve work time efficiency, and eliminate labor problems. It is.

[Structure and outline of the idea]

That is, the present invention is a jig used for fixing an irrigation tube on the ground or in the vicinity thereof.
The present invention relates to a jig for fixing an irrigation tube, characterized in that a flexible strip for pressing the irrigation tube is provided on the upper part of the flat surface of the letter-shaped support member.

The content of the present invention will be explained below using preferred embodiment figures, but the content of the present invention can take any form as long as the purpose is not impaired, and is not limited to these embodiment figures in any way. .

1 to 3 are a front view, a top view, and a bottom view showing an example of the invented jig. A flexible piece 3 for pressing the irrigation tube is provided on the upper part of the flat surface of the T-shaped support member, which consists of a flat surface part 1 to which the irrigation tube is attached and a vertical bar part 2 provided integrally with the flat surface part. . The piece and the T-shaped support member may be connected in any manner, for example, they may be fused or screwed together, or they may be integrally molded from the beginning. Above all, as shown in the example diagram, there is a protrusion 4 on the top of the flat surface of the T-shaped support member.
A is provided, and a hole 4b is also provided in the piece, and the two pieces are fitted into each other to connect them removably, which is preferable since it can also be used for the following purposes. For example, there are sheets that are directly stretched over crops such as daikon radish and lettuce to keep them warm and protect them from frost in the winter, but in the same way as irrigation tubes, these sheets can be blown away by the wind. Therefore, in this case, only the T-shaped support member is used to fix the straight sheet. When the irrigation tube is used for fixing, a piece is attached to the T-shaped support member. The above operations are
This can be effectively carried out by making it possible to separate the T-shaped support member and the piece.

It is preferable that a wavy three-dimensional pattern 5 is provided on the vertical bar portion of the support member, and it is also preferable that a communicating hole 6 is provided. The presence of both acts as an anchor that makes it difficult for the vertical bar to come out when inserted into the ground. Furthermore, it is preferable to provide reinforcing ribs 7 on the support member to improve the overall strength. In particular, the reinforcing ribs on the vertical bar improve the strength of the vertical bar and also serve as an anchor.

4, 5 and 6 are views showing another embodiment of the present invention. The feature of this embodiment is that, together with the flexible strip 3 for pressing the irrigation tube, a loop-shaped member 8 is provided which can hang the tip end side of the flexible strip. That is, when water pressure is applied to the irrigation tube and the tube begins to swell from a flat shape to a round shape, the pieces 3 gradually bend and stand up, but when they rise up to a certain point, the tip end becomes a loop-like object. 8. Even after the flexible strip is engaged with the loop,
Bend your arms according to the swelling of your tube. This allows the tube to be held untwisted and the passage of liquid through the tube to be unobstructed.
FIG. 4 shows a pair of tongues 8, which are flexible strips that can exhibit such effects and can form a loop together with the flexible strips for pressing the irrigation tube. It is provided. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the irrigation tube 9 attached to the piece shown in FIG. 4 combined with a T-shaped support member, which clearly shows the final state of the jig of the present invention. It shows. Moreover, FIG. 6 shows the case where it is used as a holding jig for the multi-sheet 10, and in this case, T
The shape member may be used alone, or it may be used with a flexible piece for pressing the irrigation tube provided.

Examples of materials for the jig of the present invention include metals such as iron, aluminum, and copper, and flexible thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene. It is preferable because it has excellent corrosion resistance and both the T-shaped support member and the flexible piece can be easily molded by injection molding.

[Effect]

The jig of the present invention can easily fix the irrigation tube and can also be easily released, so the maintenance work of the irrigation tube, which conventionally took a lot of time and effort, can be greatly reduced.
