Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a hook used for hanging tomatoes, and more specifically, the hanging position of the hanging string is sequentially moved in one direction according to the growth of tomatoes. death,
This invention relates to a hook used for hanging tomatoes, in which the main stem of the tomato is hung together with a hanging cord each time, and the base is made to creep.

(Prior Art) First, a conventional method for cultivating tomatoes will be explained.

Cultivation by the tailoring method is a cultivation method in which the main stem of a growing tomato is attracted along a support called a hand, and is tied in places to the support to prevent the main stem from falling over. Current tomato cultivation generally involves long-term multi-stage harvesting in order to achieve high yields, and for this purpose, the main stems grow to a length of 2 meters or more. In such a long-term, multi-tiered cultivation method, the work of attracting the main stem becomes complicated, and the workers are forced to do harsh and overwork.

The tailoring method and its problems will be explained below.

One of these methods is called the upright sewing method, in which the plant is made vertically from the base of the plant using a support or hanging cord as support. In the case of this upright sewing method, the growth is suppressed by pinching within the reach of the worker, so the inducing work is relatively easy.
It is not suitable for long-term multi-stage mining, which is currently common practice.

The second method is called the diagonal sewing method, which is a method of attracting the seeds diagonally from the middle of growth. This method allows the main stem to grow slightly more than the upright method, but there is a limit to multi-stage harvesting. Attracting them is complicated and a hanging cord cannot be used.

The three methods are called the hanging method, which uses hanging strings to attract the main stem as it grows.
In this method, when the plant grows to a certain height, the fixed position of the hanging string is shifted and the hanging string is pulled down to allow the main stem to creep up from the base. This method is effective for long-term, multi-stage harvesting, but like other methods, it is troublesome to tie the main stem to the hanging cord, and there are problems with workability.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) When tying in the tomato cultivation method, the main stem is tied to a support or a hanging string with a band or string, but in the upright sewing method or hanging sewing method, hanging strings are tied to the tying. When used, the work of tying the hanging cord and the main stem is complicated, and if the tying is too loose, the main stem may fall off, whereas if the tying is too tight, the main stem may be damaged.

In addition, in the upright sewing method and the hanging sewing method, the hanging string is attached by attaching the upper end of the hanging string to an erected pipe, or by tying it to a hook secured to the pipe.

When tying directly to a pipe, one had to tie the hanging cord to each plant with one's hands raised, which not only was not easy to work with, but was also hard work.

In addition, the hanging method involves repeatedly pulling down the hanging string and making the main stem creep, so it is necessary to untie and retie the hanging string each time.
Furthermore, even when a hook is used, it is necessary to retie the hanging cord to the hook, and the hook must be moved, which is time-consuming and complicated.

This invention was made in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to provide a tomato plant that is easy to work with, reduces labor, and has a simple structure to securely lock the hanging cord. The aim is to provide a hook for use in hanging cultivation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, the upper part of the support part is bent downward and the bent part is used as a locking part, and further, a cut is made at the tip of the support part to form one side horizontally or upward, and the hanging cord is wound around it. Fold the other side upward to create a hanging string sandwiching part,
The present invention is characterized in that the lower part of the support part is bent in the same direction as the suspension cord wrapping part to form a substantially horizontal second hanging cord wrapping part.

(Examples) The present invention will be described in detail below based on Examples.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the hook, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof.

The hook has flexibility as a whole and is formed of a metal or plastic plate-like body, and the upper part of the support part 7 is bent downward and the bent part is connected to the locking part 3 and the locking part. 3, the hanging cord wrapping part 5 and the hanging cord sandwiching part 11 are formed by making a cut in the tip part, and the lower part of the supporting part 7 is further formed by bending in the same direction as the hanging cord wrapping part 5. It consists of a second hanging string winding part 9 which is approximately horizontal.

The locking part 3 is formed by bending the upper part of the support part 7 into a curve according to the diameter of the pipe to be used, and the opening part 10 is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the pipe. Therefore, the pipe is fitted while expanding the opening 5. The hanging cord winding part 5
is formed by making a cut at the tip end of the locking part 3 and bending one side horizontally or upwardly, and is configured to prevent the wrapped hanging string from falling off. Furthermore, the hanging cord sandwiching part 11 is formed by bending the cut side upward. By holding the hanging string in the hanging string clamping part 11, it is possible to prevent the hanging string from becoming unintentionally loosened or slipping.

Further, the second hanging cord wrapping part 9 is formed by bending the lower part of the support part 7 substantially horizontally in the same direction as the locking part 3 and the hanging cord wrapping part 5. The support part 7 and the locking part 3 are formed to have approximately the same width, but the second hanging cord wrapping part 9 is slightly narrower than the supporting part 7 to facilitate wrapping of the hanging cord. Therefore, the tip is formed slightly downward.

Next, a description will be given of a desirable fastener used in conjunction with the above-mentioned hook for hanging tomatoes.

3 to 5 show an embodiment of the stopper, in which FIG. 1 is a side view, FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view for explanation.

The stopper 20 is a plate-shaped body made of plastic or metal, and has a main body 21 and a binding band 2.
It consists of 3.

The main body 21 is curved in a substantially arcuate shape, and has a sling wrapping part 25 at the upper end and a sling locking part 27 at the lower end. The hanging string winding part 25 is formed by gradually narrowing the upper part and folding the end part upward.

In addition, the hanging string locking part 27 is made by cutting the lower end of the main body 21 at a predetermined width from the screen, folding back the band formed by this cut in the front direction to form a folded piece 28, and folding this folded piece 28 upward and downward. It is constructed by forming two stages in opposite directions.
It is preferable that the folded pieces 28 are formed so as to be shifted from side to side so as to form a zigzag pattern when the hanging cord is inserted therethrough. Since the folded piece 28 is open from the side, the hanging cord can be inserted and locked through this opening.

Furthermore, the binding band 23 is inserted into two through holes 29, 29 formed approximately at the center of the main body 21 on the back side, and is attached so as to be bound on the back side.

In order to use the stopper 20 according to this configuration, after wrapping the hanging cord at an arbitrary position around the hanging cord wrapping part 25, the lower part is locked to the hanging cord locking part 27, and then fixed with the binding band 23. do it.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a stopper 20a according to a second embodiment.

The fastener 20a in this embodiment consists of a main body 31 curved into a substantially arcuate shape and a binding band 33.
The main body 31 has hanging cord wrapping parts 35, 3 at the upper and lower ends.
5. As is clear from the figure, the suspension cord wrapping portion 35 has a constriction 37 formed at its tip.

On the other hand, the binding band 33 has two through holes 3 bored approximately in the center of the main body 31, as in the above embodiment.
9 and 39, and are attached so as to be tied together on the back side.

FIG. 7 shows a stopper 20b according to a third embodiment, which is constructed by combining the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

That is, the stopper 20b has a main body 4 curved in a substantially arcuate shape.
1 and a binding band 43, the main body 41 has a constriction 44 at the upper end to serve as a hanging cord wrapping part 45, as in the second embodiment, but the lower end has a slightly vertical surface, and As in the first embodiment, the hanging cord locking portion 48 is constructed by forming folded pieces 47 in two stages, upper and lower, in opposite directions.

The binding band 43 is inserted into through holes 49, 49 formed approximately in the center of the main body 41.

Next, a hanging method for tomato cultivation using the hook and stopper 20 will be explained based on FIG. 9.

First, we built a pipe at a height of about 160 cm along the tomato ridges, and installed hooks 51 above each plant.
~55 is locked. Two or three extra hooks 51 to 55 are placed on either side of the ridge in anticipation of the growth of the main stem of the tomato. For example, one end of the hanging string 60 of stock A is attached to the hook 54, and the hooks 53 and 52 are stretched out, wrapped around the hook 51, and suspended over stock A. Similarly, one end of the suspension string 61 of stock B is attached to the hook 55, and the hooks 54, 53
It is wrapped around the hook 52 and suspended over the stock B. In this way, the tips of the hanging strings are fixed to the hooks three hooks ahead from the initial hanging position, and are attached in the same way one after another. Therefore, hook 5
Suspension strings 60, 61, and 63 are stretched between 4 and 53, and three extra hooks that come off the stock are secured at the right end of the ridge.

The tip of the hanging cord 60 may be tied to the hanging cord wrapping portion 5 of the hook 54, or may be fixed by being wrapped around the wrapping portion 5 and the tip is sandwiched between the hanging cord clipping portions 11.

After the hanging cord 60 is attached to the hook 54 in this way, it is stretched out to the hook 51 while being placed on the hanging cord winding parts 5, 5 of the hooks 53, 52. In the hook 51, the hanging cord is wound once or several times around the hanging cord winding part 5, and is held between the pinching parts 11, and then the second
Wrap it around the hanging string winding part 9 once or several times and let it hang down. In the same way, move each item one by one and attach the hanging string to complete the sewing.

When the main stem of the tomato grows, it can be tied to a hanging string using a stopper 20 at an appropriate position. The stop 20 is used in the following manner.

First, the hanging cord 60 is wrapped around the hanging cord winding part 25 of the stopper 20 once or several times, and then the lower part is inserted into the locking part 27 and locked. Next, the binding band 23 is tied to the main diameter. In this way,
The main stem of each plant is drawn along the hanging string by the stoppers 20 tied at appropriate intervals until it reaches the pipe 50.

When the main stem reaches the pipe 50, the hanging position of the hanging string is shifted one hook at a time from the right side. That is, the hanging position of the hanging string 63 is set to the hook 5.
3 to the hook 54, the hanging position of the hanging string 63 can be changed from the hook 53 to the hook 5.
Move to 4. At this time, attach the hanging string 63 to the hook 5.
3 to hook 54, press hook 53.
What is necessary is to release the wrapping of the hanging string 63 and wrap it around the hook 54 in the same manner as in the case of the hook 53. By moving the hanging position of the hanging string 63, the hanging string 63 becomes longer and the main stem is pulled down together with the hanging string.
Therefore, the main stem moves from the position of the plant C to the position of the plant D, and the root portion begins to creep.

Similarly, the hanging string 61 is moved from the hook 52 to a vacant hook 53 to shift the hanging position. Furthermore, the hanging string 60 can be changed from the hook 51 to the hook 52.

Then, after changing the tailoring, the grown main diameter is tied to each hanging cord using a stopper as described above, and then pulled.

In this way, when the tip of the main diameter reaches the pipe 50, the hanging string is changed one after another, and the hanging position is shifted one hook at a time, until the tip of the hanging string reaches the position of the hook attached. Repeated.

As is clear from the above, as the tomatoes grow, the main stems are lowered one by one and the roots are allowed to creep, so the tip of the main stem never exceeds a predetermined height and is always kept at a constant height during harvesting. becomes possible.

Although the above embodiment describes the case where pipes are used for tailoring, it is of course possible to use other upholstery materials such as wire and rope, and the locking part of the hook may be changed to match the upholstery material. Bye.

Further, in the above tailoring method, the means for binding the main diameter to the hanging cord is not particularly limited, but in consideration of workability, it is preferable to use the fasteners shown in the examples.

(Effects of the Invention) The hook used for hanging tailoring according to the present invention is provided with a suspending cord wrapping part for wrapping the suspending cord and a clamping part for the suspending cord, so that the suspending cord will not loosen or shift.

In addition, since the hanging cord can be wrapped around the winding part and pinched, the hanging operation is easy and the main stem will not be damaged.

In addition, since the winding portion of the hanging cord is formed in two stages, upper and lower, the suspended state is stable and has sufficient strength.

Furthermore, since it has an extremely simple structure, it can be manufactured at low cost.
